Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 14

Perhaps for most people, learning magic is not as interesting as imagined, but Zhang Xiao enjoys it. Even the history of magic, which all students find the most boring and painful, is quite interesting to him.

However, it is undeniable that the history of magic is indeed difficult to remember accurately. Unlike the history of China, the group of wizards is too small, and the history of China is too long. It is so long that a short sentence in the history book can be a person. A wonderful life.

Therefore, the history of wizards is mostly composed of precise people and events, which makes it seem scattered and redundant.

For example, the second goblin rebellion, if it is the Chinese historical recording habit, it may be that in a certain year and month, what rebellion occurred in a certain place, and who was sent by the court to deal with it. If nothing happened worth recording in the history books, it would probably be How long will it take to calm down the chaos, and what will be the final result?

The history of magic is recorded like this: On xx, month xxx, xxx, what was the weather like, in the village of Hogsmeade, a goblin named Sloppy Ghost Lara and a wizard named something else got into a quarrel over something.

The goblin spat on him, and the wizard looked at him and said, "Hey, you little dwarf, you dare to spit on me?" So he used his size advantage to educate the goblin with a mouthful of spit. The goblin was not convinced and jumped up and hammered the wizard. knee

It is always extremely detailed and meticulous, which results in the students needing to record a large number of names, specific times, and specific places (specifically to a certain bar).

In addition to purely theoretical courses such as History of Magic, professors in courses that require practical operations did not start with the first lesson. Instead, they talked about the theory and foundation of each course.

It is worth mentioning that, whether it was Zhang Xiao’s memory that was wrong or something else, Professor McGonagall’s first class was all about classroom discipline and theory, and there was no such thing as Harry Ron being late, and there was no match. Classwork that turns into a needle.

On the contrary, Gampu's basic deformation rules were explained over and over again. After listening to it, Zhang Xiao only had one idea.

The magic power of the wizard may not be strong, but the effect is simply outrageous!

Damn the law of conservation of energy!

Due to course schedules, Zhang Xiao and Harrow didn't have many opportunities to meet each other. They didn't have Malfoy as a humanoid guide, so they were always running around looking for the classroom.

In the only two or three meetings, they could only say hello in a hurry. Harry and Ron always looked at him with worried and sympathetic eyes, and they didn't forget to give him a thumbs up and shout loudly when they left.

Another thing that Zhang Xiao didn't expect was Malfoy's attitude. He still remembered that on the day of the opening ceremony, Brother Yan still looked arrogant like he would wait and see, and he would be rewarded sooner or later, but it was completely different when he woke up. Although not enthusiastic, it can be considered a peaceful coexistence.

If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be 'ignore'. The entire Slytherin seemed to ignore Zhang Xiao's existence and would never take the initiative to say hello, but as long as Zhang Xiao spoke first, there would be a lot of etiquette.

That night, Zhang Xiao was really curious after his astronomy class and wanted to ask a Slytherin freshman, but the little wizard named Davis just looked at him with frightened eyes, like a frightened rabbit. Run as fast as possible (Note 1).

Isolate me? Zhang Xiao secretly shook his head. Isolating a person is not like this. It is a kind of all-round isolation. How can you get an absolutely polite response when saying hello like yourself? Moreover, what is the use of Slytherin alone? People from other colleges The little wizard is quite enthusiastic about Zhang Xiao. After all, as long as he follows him, he doesn't have to worry about Peeves causing trouble.

Even the little wizards in Gryffindor smiled generously at Zhang Xiao, thinking that Harry, Ron, and Neville would help him put in good words in Gryffindor.

This is a good friend!

Zhang Xiao shook his head and returned to the common room, only to find Davis, whom he had just spoken to, hiding in the corner and sobbing softly.

Just like a normal person would do when he sees his classmates crying, Zhang Xiao walked over and asked:

"Dude, what's wrong? Need help?"

Davis suddenly trembled, shook his head wildly, and sobbed cringingly:

"No, no, I'm fine."

"If I were you, I wouldn't lower myself to talk to a mudblood."

An arrogant voice came from behind, and Zhang Xiao knew who it was without turning around.

"Mudblood?" (Note 2) Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. If he were from a community primary school, he would have started to frantically consider whether he had said the wrong thing and made the crazy Zhang angry.

"Oh, by the way, you are Chinese, so you probably don't know what mudblood means." Malfoy clasped his hands behind his back, with a malicious smile on his pale face, and Crabbe and Goyle were still followed behind him.

He walked up to Davis, lowered his head and looked down at the trembling Davis, and said softly:

"The Mudblood was born into a Muggle family and is extremely lucky to have magical talent. But even with this talent, it still can't change the fact that he was born low!"

Malfoy looked at Zhang Xiao, his face slightly flushed with enthusiasm:

"Even the Sorting Hat makes mistakes occasionally, and noble Slytherin is not the place for a Mudblood.

He is tarnishing this great academy! "

"Did you do it?" Zhang Xiao pointed at the trembling Davis.

Malfoy was stunned for a moment, then said with a reserved smile:

"Of course not. As a 'king', you need to personally teach a mudblood? But it is true that he was punished for talking to you."

King? Zhang Xiao continued to ask thoughtfully:

"Malfoy, what happened on the night of the opening ceremony?"

Crabbe replied in a sullen voice:

"Draco received the support of all the pureblood families that night and became the leader of the first years."

Goyle then added, "The half-blood knelt down on one knee and used his sleeve to clean Draco's shoes. The mudblood was hung at the door of the bathroom and the cold wind blew all night!"

Malfoy glared at the two followers fiercely, then stretched out his hands enthusiastically, with a smile on his face:

"Zhang, come join us. Although I don't know much about your family yet, my father said that you must come from a noble family and be qualified to enjoy the glory of pure blood!"

Understood! All understood.

Whether in his past life or in this life, Zhang Xiao is no stranger to campus bullying. Sometimes the extent of campus bullying makes Zhang Xiao, a person who has seen a lot of dark sides in society, shudder.

In the community primary school, Zhang Xiao beat up all the bullies who dared to take action. It was his presence that allowed many children who were originally bullied to have a relatively healthy growth environment, and also made many people sincerely like and respect him. he.

This also made Zhang Xiao understand a truth:

Power is far more powerful when used for protection than when used for evil!

Even in China, where the day school system dominates and dual intervention and control by families and schools, school bullying is common, not to mention the boarding schools in Europe and the United States?

Hogwarts is like a small society. It has long ceased to be a simple school.

Zhang Xiao suddenly shuddered. In his eyes, "Harry Potter" is a children's book, a child-oriented novel full of friendship, love and growth.

The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive!

It is not warm or friendly at all, and Slytherin is a collective bullying and oppression of a small number of people!

Newt Scamander, Myrtle, Severus Snape, Rubeus Hagrid, even Hermione Granger, Neville, this list of names have all been victims of school bullying!

It was at this moment that Zhang Xiao felt that the world in front of him was no longer a novel, movie or game in his memory, it was so real!

Such a reality!

Seeing Zhang Xiao standing there expressionlessly, Malfoy increased his intensity:

"Come, join us, the glory of pure blood will be with you, those lowly half-bloods and mudbloods are only worthy of kneeling at the feet of pure blood!

We are the true heirs of Salazar Slytherin! "

————————————————————————

Note 1: One of the 40 people originally designed by Tracy Davis for Rowling is most likely a mixed-race or Muggle-born wizard.

The original article does not say it clearly, but Slytherin probably has an unspoken rule for selecting grade leaders, that is, each grade selects its own "underground prefect" who will automatically become a prefect in the fifth grade.

Note 2: The insulting nature of the word mudblood is difficult to understand unless you live in that context.

It is an extreme insult. The Chinese would slap you twice even if they have to pay for it. However, the public security law seems to have been revised recently. Instigating and insulting the other person, causing the other person to lose their mind and take the initiative to attack, does not count as assaulting others.
