Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"I really can't figure it out." After Halloween, the most important thing for the second-year students is to prepare for class selection. It is a rare sunny day. The sun finally shows its face that it has not seen for a long time from the wet sky. Claudine and Cedric sat under a huge tree by the lake and talked about course selection.

"There are so many courses, can I choose them all?"

"But what will happen to the original courses?" Clooney grabbed the course schedule frantically, "I want to take every class! Can I sign up for them all?"

"Huh? Including arithmetic and divination?" Cedric poked his head over, "Aren't you fed up with mathematics?"

"But that's divination! Syd!" Clooney drew a big circle on the arithmetic divination on her course selection list, "No one doesn't want to know about themselves and the future, right?"

"Okay." Cedric said noncommittally, "Then why do you still want to go to Muggle Studies? You don't know enough about Muggles?"

"I want to see what wizards think of Muggles." She scratched the right side of her face sheepishly, "How will teachers and classmates interpret Muggles and Muggle technology."

"Maybe you can ask first -" Cedric tapped Clooney's class schedule with his wand, "I think you can actually skip this course and save your precious time for other research! You The opinions in the books you read are the opinions of most people. Or you can ask our future Muggle Studies professor first?"

"You're right." Clooney agreed with this suggestion, "I'll ask first."

After saying goodbye to Cedric, Clooney returned to the castle very quickly. This week was a fortnight, and there happened to be no classes in the afternoon. She found the Muggle Studies classroom for the upper grades, and quietly hid in the crowd to observe a class.

The professor of Muggle Studies is also a young teacher. He has a gentle tone and quotes from classics when he speaks. However, he does not spend most of the time in class introducing Muggles and social phenomena related to Muggles. He Occasionally, some magic theories related to basic Muggle thinking are put forward to disprove the idea that Muggle studies can have a negative impact on magical learning.

After class, Clooney stopped the gentle and talented professor: "Hello, Professor Quirrell."

"Hello." He smiled and stopped leaving the classroom. "Hello, kid. But why do I feel like I have never seen you?"

"I'm only in my second year," Clowney replied, "but I want to take Muggle Studies as an elective next semester, so I want to learn about this course first. You just have a class this afternoon, so I came over secretly!"

"Of course it's a good thing to love learning! How do you feel after today's class?"

"To be honest, Professor." She was a little embarrassed, "I am more interested in the theoretical reasoning about the Flashing Curse that you proposed in class. I know a lot about Muggles - I am a Muggle myself."

"If you don't mind, we can come to my office and talk in detail." He laughed loudly, "Come on, kid!"

They walked to the Muggle Studies professor's personal office while talking and laughing. The desk in the office was littered with several open books, half-written parchment and half-dried quills.

"I'm so sorry." Quirrell walked quickly to his desk, waved his wand a few times, and the books were arranged neatly, and the quills returned to the pen dipper. "I almost forgot. That’s it for now, please sit down, kid.”

"My name is Clooney Albert, professor." Clooney pulled up a chair and sat next to Quirrell, "Can the idea you mentioned in class about the application of fluorescent flashing variants be realized? I’m really interested!”

"So it's you!" Professor Quirrell laughed, "Your professors often praise you in front of me!"

"This exists in theory." The professor returned to his own territory and talked about the topics he was interested in. He seemed more energetic, "but there is no specific practical method."

"I know it's interesting, Miss Albert. But you must not try it yourself." He winked playfully at Clooney, "I know children of your age are full of curiosity about these things. Heartfelt."

"Why?" Clowney asked, "If there is no way to practice it, then there will be no way to realize your theory?"

"Because the practice of variations of spells is very dangerous." He said, "Have you seen the reports at the beginning of this year? There was a witch who caused a big explosion because she was testing a spell at home."

"But is this just fluorescent light? I thought the lady was experimenting with some seriously damaging spell."

"But to realize the variant of the magic spell in my theory, the magic spell will undergo a qualitative change." Quirrell took out his wand and tapped it lightly, and a yellow light spot appeared on the tip of his wand. "Of course there is no danger in light variants like this, but if you want to change its wavelength and effect, there may be irreversible consequences. You must not study this type of magic without professional testing equipment and protection." curse."

"This is so interesting!" Clooney also took out his wand and tried it, "It can really be achieved!"

"Although I am the professor of this course now," Quirrell said, "I still suggest that you don't need to take this course and spend your time on other courses."

"The textbooks and teaching in Muggle Studies are very backward, and you won't be able to get the answers you want from this course."

"Thank you! Professor!" Clooney smiled, "I will consider your suggestion carefully."

"Besides, I will no longer teach this course next school year." Professor Quirrell picked up the big teacup on his desk and took a sip, "Besides, I won't be at school in the second half of this school year. "

"Where are you going?"

"This is a secret~" he said mysteriously, "but, I guarantee that even if you don't take Muggle Studies as an elective next school year, you will be able to see me every day."

"Okay, Professor!" she responded, "Then I look forward to meeting you again next school year! I look forward to the surprise you give me!"

"This is for you." Quirrell took out a small book from his desk. "It contains my theoretical arguments on some small magic spells that can be tested. Professor Flitwick said you want to use them in "Charms". Research" published a long paper on magic circuits and wandless magic, I think this may be helpful to you."

"Thank you!" Clooney took the small cowhide book in surprise, "Thank you so much!"

"There is no teacher who doesn't like studious students, Miss Albert." Professor Quirrell took another sip of tea, "I look forward to seeing your paper published!"

"It would be great if you came to Ravenclaw." He then sighed, "Professor Flitwick really likes you, and our college has its own library!"

"You are really exaggerating!" Clooney bowed to the professor again, "What you said really makes me excited! But even if I am in Slytherin, I can still get everyone's careful teachings. ah!"

"You're right." He laughed loudly, "Good girl, come on!"
