Hogwarts, this professor is too stable.

Mr. Cedric Diggory, a fourth-year Hufflepuff student, is definitely a man of the hour in the house.

He has a high nose, black hair, deep and charming black pupils, and his handsome appearance has fascinated many little witches.

Today is an ordinary Wednesday morning, and Mr. Diggory is walking through the stairwells of Hogwarts as usual.

Like Mr. Diggory, Mr. Percy Weasley, the fifth-year prefect of Gryffindor, also held a thick copy of "The Way Muggles Think" and headed towards the second floor of the castle.

Muggle Studies is an elective course that has never been very popular among students.

When Professor Quirrell was in class in the past, he was almost as good as Professor Binns. They were both firm supporters and executors of the teaching method of reading from the book.

What's the point of talking about Muggle medicine, law, culture... like chanting scriptures in an auditorium?

The key is that this knowledge is more difficult than the history of magic!

Except for students who want to work with Muggles in the future, not many people are willing to study this subject. Even if they take this elective course, it is mostly just to pass it, and not many people will study it seriously.

But today, when Mr. Diggory and Mr. Weasley walked into the classroom, they were surprised to find that the classroom was almost full of people, and the seats in the front row had been occupied by a group of Ravenclaws.

"So it seems that the rumor is true?"

Digory sighed, what happened yesterday from Ravenclaw House - Professor Mochir, a newly graduated wizard, sold a patent to the Ministry of Magic, making a profit of 1000 gold galleons, and Rumor has it that he turned down an offer from St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic that far exceeded the Ministry of Magic's offer!

The person who spread this rumor swore that it was said by the dean, Professor Flitwick, personally, but the students in other colleges didn't really believe it.

You know, in the past, the final prize of international magic school joint competitions such as the Triwizard Tournament was only 1000 gold Galleons. You can earn this price just by selling a research patent. Who wouldn't envy it?

There are many researchers, but those who can actually turn their research results into gold galleons can be said to be even rarer than the phoenix feathers that can be used to make wands.

As a result of this rumor spreading, many senior students went to Professor McGonagall and asked for supplementary selection for the Muggle Studies course.

Some young wizards who did not choose Muggle Studies due to course conflicts skipped other classes today and came to observe.

The elective classroom, which was already small, was packed with people, and the aisles were filled with people. There was even a little wizard who brought his own chair and cast a levitating spell on his chair in order to see the podium.

He sat in the air to listen to lectures when he couldn't sit down on the ground. This was the first time he had done this at Hogwarts.

It was clear that there was great interest in Professor Cavendish's experience of turning knowledge into gold galleons.

Mochir stepped into the classroom. Today was his first class.

He lowered his head, rubbed his eyes, and said listlessly: "I'm sorry, I'm lost on the road of life."

In fact, Moqier, who stayed up all night writing the outline of the fund, now truly feels that his life is coming to an end.

The moment he raised his head, he was stunned. He exaggeratedly walked out of the classroom and carefully confirmed that this was really his Muggle Studies classroom.

Seeing the confused look of the professor, a burst of laughter mixed with whistles broke out in the classroom.

Mochir took out the folded student list from his pocket and tried to ask: "Professor McGonagall didn't tell me that she would have class today. Should I be sick now?"

The students laughed again. The teacher who was often sick in the senior class was Mrs. Hooch, who taught flying lessons, and the substitute teacher was often Professor McGonagall.

Spreading out the list and looking at the seventeen names on it, Mochier even had doubts about his primary school mathematics. In this packed classroom, there were 30 people in the full seats alone, and the list actually told I took this course with only seventeen people?

Looking casually into the eyes of a quiet-looking girl in the front row, Mochi suddenly understood the ins and outs of the current situation.

It has to be said that Legilimency saved him a lot of trouble.

"It seems that I have to go to Professor McGonagall later to get another class list." After muttering, Mochir had already walked to the podium. He looked around, cleared his throat, and said seriously Said: "Hello, students, from today on, I am your teacher of Muggle Studies."

The students applauded in the classroom.

"Teacher, we want to hear about your research direction."

“Can you tell us how to monetize your research?”

"Hang! Hang!"

Mochir coughed twice, "I know many of you just want to come over and see what's new." He put the thick book in his hand on the lecture table and continued: "Many people have joined our class. Seeing as you haven't prepared the textbook yet, let's talk about the so-called Muggle Studies first in this class." He deliberately protracted his tone, "I don't know if anyone here has the same idea as me - in my case It seems that Muggle studies equal gold galleons."

hum...

There was a stir in class.

These students, who are at least third grade or above, are different from the young wizards who have just entered school. Many of them have only one or two years to go out of Hogwarts. Facing the unknown wizarding society, they are eager to know more about it. More ways to make money.

"So, who can tell me what a gold galleon is?"

A Ravenclaw girl in the front row was the first to raise her hand, "Professor, I read in Muggle's "On Money Contract" that currency is a contract between the owner of property and the market regarding the right of exchange. It's essentially an agreement between owners. 'I give what I have to the market in exchange for what I need.' Currency is the agreement of this process. Galleons are the currency of wizards, and I think it applies to this concept as well. .”

After hearing this explanation, several students from other colleges in the back row stopped. They wanted to say that gold galleons were magic gold, a medium or value for wizards to exchange... But these were all a bit one-sided.

Mochir nodded and said with satisfaction: "Ravenclaw adds 5 points."

He continued to explain, "Muggle Studies also includes Muggle economics. This subject is very popular among goblins. As far as I know, a Muggle economics degree can provide you with priority admission to work at Gringotts." Right. Then, from this lady’s answer, we can easily discover a simple truth. The essence of gold galleons is an exchange.

Then, as a scholar, only if the knowledge we have meets the needs of the market will anyone exchange it with you. "

Who doesn’t know this?

A Gryffindor boy couldn't help but ask, "Professor, what is the knowledge that meets the needs of the market now?"

"Very good question." Mochier motioned for the other party to sit down, waved his wand lightly, and the textbook he placed on the table flew up, and the content on it was projected in front of him like a slide.

"Every era has a distinct mark of intellectual needs. On August 1945, 8, the Muggles ended the Second World War. Three years later, the United States proposed the 'Truman Doctrine', which marked the beginning of the Cold War. To this day, These two big countries are still in the Cold War, and the whole world is shrouded in the shadow of tense war. Behind the Muggle war, wizards in various countries are equally nervous. Therefore, in this period, we need to forge swords with more destructive power. There is a market for powerful magic in any country."

During the chat, Mochir integrated the knowledge of Muggle studies such as modern Muggle events, Muggle economic concepts, the relationship between wizards and Muggles, etc. He would not be like Professor Snape in the first lesson of each year. Tell everyone that Potions can "increase reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death."

After all, Muggle research only provides some ideas, and is indeed not as effective as Potions in terms of direct benefits.

This is like mathematics and computers for Muggles. The construction of mathematical models can provide computers with more efficient algorithms, but it requires programming and computers to output.

Since his student days, Mochir has believed that Muggle Studies is a mirror that allows wizards to look at the world from a different perspective and provide new ideas. This should be the greatest value of Muggle Studies.

In his opinion, these new perspectives and methods are not inferior to traditional magical disciplines such as potion research or transfiguration.
