Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 16 The Muggle Exam
"Everyone knows that Muggle Studies was originally an elective course, but the Muggle society has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the many instruments they invented are enough to detect something wrong in this world. We want to use magic to cover up wizards. The existence of Muggle has encountered some difficulties, especially many wizards don't understand Muggles, they wander around in the Muggle world and attract the attention of Muggles."

Professor Charles spoke in a relaxed tone, and everyone listened carefully.

"According to the development of Muggle society, it will be difficult to hide our magical secrets soon. After research and discussion, the Ministry of Magic has decided to make Muggle studies a compulsory course from this year. Every wizard who enters school must have knowledge of Muggles." A general understanding, so that we can better protect our secrets in the Muggle world in the future. Muggles and wizards should be treated as equals, I hope everyone understands this."

Professor Charles glanced at everyone, and continued: "Of course, given that some students are Muggle-born, they already know enough about Muggles, so the school made a rule that anyone who knows enough about Muggles, You can apply not to attend classes, but only need to take the final exam."

Everyone sat up straight when they heard that they were exempt from Muggle Studies, wondering how to apply.In fact, even if many people do not dislike Muggles, they are not necessarily willing to learn Muggle knowledge, because the generation gap between Muggles and wizards is deep-rooted, and not all wizards are obsessed with Muggles.

Professor Charles waved his wand, a stack of test papers floated in the air, and said: "I know that not everyone of you likes Muggle Studies, but it is stipulated by the Ministry of Magic, so today's test is very important, it will determine whether you have Eligibility does not require Muggle Studies."

The test papers in front of Professor Charles had started to float out automatically, and landed on everyone's desks one after another, and then white quills also fell into everyone's hands.

"Molin, you must know a lot about Muggles, let's change positions! I need Toby's help, he is Muggle-born." Hugo said.

"Isn't your mother Muggle-born? You should know about Muggles." Molin said.

"Don't be stupid, my grandfather is still an official of the Muggle Abuse Department. He has been dealing with Muggles for so many years, and I haven't seen him learn how to ride a Muggle tram." Hugo squeezed past.

Molin had no idea, Hugo was right, Arthur Weasley and Alton were both members of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, but Molin always felt that Grandpa Alton's introduction to Muggles was very unreliable Spectrum, he didn't even know whether the Muggle knowledge he had learned was correct.

Seeing Hugo's movements, Professor Charles smiled and said, "You don't need to think about the seats. In addition to these anti-cheating quills, you also need-"

Professor Charles waved his wand, and his wand sent out waves of water, which fell on both sides of everyone, like a small wall, separating everyone and completely blocking them. See the answer at the same table possibility.

"Then let's start the exam!" said Professor Charles.

Hugo's face was stunned. He originally planned to hug the Muggle-born Toby's thigh, but unfortunately, this magic wall cut off his idea of ​​cheating.

Mo Lin picked up the quill and looked at the test paper in front of him. The first question was: In the Muggle world, when crossing the road, what color traffic light can one pass when it is on?

"This... this grandpa doesn't seem to have told me."

Maureen hesitated to write. Although he usually played with Muggle children, it was just running around in the park, and those Muggle children also rejected him.

He could only look at the second question: In the Muggle world, how many pennies is one pound?

Question [-]: How many modes of transportation are there for Muggles to travel?Please write five.

……

Mo Lin became more and more helpless as he continued to do it. Only then did he realize that his knowledge of Muggles was almost zero, and he didn't understand many things, so he simply filled in some random things.

After class, Hugo walked out of the classroom with a dejected expression on his face. He didn't seem to have answered many questions.

"Why do Muggles have so many strange questions?" Hugo couldn't help but said, "How many of the five means of transportation did you Muggles write? I only wrote about trains, cars, and buses, and I couldn't think of any in the end." I just wrote Floo powder, Muggles also use Floo powder, right? The last time I saw a Muggle house had a fireplace."

Maureen's tone was inexplicably heavy: "I also wrote about skateboarding. I don't know if it's right. Last time I saw a Muggle kid playing with a skateboard in the park."

"What is a skateboard?" Hugo asked puzzled.

"Muggle broomsticks, but they run on the ground." Maureen finished the paper in a bad mood.

"Why do Muggles still need to look at traffic lights when traveling? Can't they just pass by? Speaking of which, what color do you write on the traffic lights? I wrote purple." Hugo said.

"I know the traffic lights are red, green, and yellow, but I don't know which one is allowed to go, so I wrote yellow." Mo Lin touched his forehead and said, usually go out with Floo powder, Portkey, or Knight Bus , occasionally Apparating, but since Alton doesn't like Apparating, Apparating is mostly rare.

Lily said: "You two really don't understand anything! It's green, okay?"

"Really? You know everything, so tell me, what is a microwave oven for?" Hugo pouted, because he felt that he could answer this question correctly.

"It's for heating food!" Lily said arrogantly, "Your mother said it last time!"

Hugo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked Mo Lin uncertainly: "Did she say something wrong? Is the microwave oven used to heat food? I remember my grandfather said that the microwave oven was invented by Muggles to boil water."

Maureen asked in surprise, "Boil water? I thought microwave ovens were for sweeping floors. You know, Muggles have a kind of machine for cleaning."

"The one used to sweep the floor is called an induction cooker." Hugo said without thinking.

Lily couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you two are destined to learn the subject of Muggle studies. What you use to sweep the floor is called a vacuum cleaner!"

Lily knew a lot about Muggles because her dad had been brought up in a Muggle family.But Hugo was different. Although his mother was Muggle-born and knew a lot about Muggles, Hugo was not interested in Muggles.

Both Maureen and Hugo looked unhappy, their answers were so bad that it was impossible to pass.

"I'm jealous you don't have to take Muggle Studies, Toby," Hugo said to Toby.

Toby touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. The test paper was so simple to him that it made no sense for him to go to class.

Carlo came out of the classroom, and when he passed by them, he gave Maureen a vicious look: "Remember me!"

"I'll wait." Maureen replied simply, he was never a timid person.

"He's really annoying. It's a good thing Voldemort is dead, otherwise he probably couldn't wait to become a Death Eater tomorrow." Hugo looked at the back of Carlo and the others leaving in disgust.

"Stop talking, hurry up to the next class, the next class is Charms, don't be late." Molin said, suddenly seeing Sweet in front, he hurried over and handed the schedule to Sweet "Hey, Sweet, you forgot to pick up your schedule this morning, and you were gone when Nelson got it."

Sweet hesitated for a moment, took the schedule, gave Maureen a strange look, and left without saying a word.

"He's so arrogant, he didn't even say thank you, after all, he's from the same dormitory, isn't he?" Hugo said dissatisfied.

Maureen shrugged, not caring about it.

-

Some book friends said that in Rowling's setting, Albus was assigned to Slytherin. Let me explain here. When I wrote this novel, I continued to write it based on the seven original Harry Potter novels. , As long as these [seven novels] do not mention which college Albus belongs to, what are the occupations of Harry, Hermione and Ron, I plan to conceive the character setting by myself.

Albus is not the main character here, so whether he is a Slytherin or a Gryffindor doesn't matter much, the focus is on the trio of Maureen, Hugo and Lily.

Finally, thank you for your support. The book is being signed. I hope you will leave a lot of comments, give some suggestions, vote for recommendations, and add a favorite, thank you.
