Hogwarts Staff Maker

Chapter 170 Muggle Studies Class

Liu Sen vaguely remembered that Hermione would quarrel with the teacher in the divination class, and said something like "It is nonsense to interpret the omens brought by tea leaves by blind guessing. Compared with arithmetic divination, divination class is rubbish."

So Hermione must have gone to the divination classroom after taking the arithmetic divination class. Liu Sen just saw that she looked a little tired, so he guessed that she had traveled back from the future, and he guessed right.

Hermione subconsciously pulled up her collar, not knowing that Liu Sen knew the existence of the time converter, which would expose her hiding place instead.

Liu Sen coughed twice, then changed the subject: "Class is about to start, find a place to sit! By the way, how do you carry so many textbooks with you?"

Hermione found a seat in the front row and sat down, then placed a large backpack on the table.

"Of course I'll use this, but..." She gently pulled the textbook out of her bag and placed it on the table with a dull thump. "I processed the inside a little bit!"

Liu Sen nodded. He had been studying space expansion recently and was very familiar with this phenomenon.

"The solidifying weight-reducing spell is a good use of it. This way the schoolbag won't be so heavy!"

Hermione's eyes lit up. "I'm teaching myself the Traceless Extension Charm! After I learn it thoroughly, I plan to make a new one with a smaller size and a larger capacity! Now I can only expand the space by one time and reduce the weight to one tenth, but it can only last for a few hours! Maybe if I study the ancient rune analysis class for a while, I can do better!"

Liu Sen took it and looked through it. Sure enough, the space inside the bag was much larger than the outside. It could hold more than a dozen extra-large books. It was only as heavy as a book when lifted. However, it was still far from the mature space expansion technology.

"Very good! You are indeed a know-it-all! I have also been learning about space expansion recently. Do you have time to study it together?"

Hermione agreed without hesitation. Isn't it just time? What she lacks the least now is time! 48 hours a day can be easily achieved! As long as you are not afraid of getting tired, it's just a matter of flipping the time converter a few times!

Soon, it was time for class. More young wizards who had chosen to take the Muggle Studies class had already taken their seats, and a middle-aged female professor slowly walked up to the podium.

"Kids! Nice to meet you! I'm Kerrydi Bubbaji, and I'll explore Muggle-related areas with you!"

Professor Bubbage gives people a very easy-going feeling, and dresses more like an ordinary Muggle than a wizard.

"Then let's do a little test first! Test everyone's understanding of the Muggle world!"

Liu Sen and Hermione smiled confidently. Testing on Muggle-related knowledge? That's too easy.

But when they saw the questions, they were dumbfounded, not because of the difficulty, but because the range of these questions was outrageous.

……

Not to mention that these questions are given to 13-year-old wizards, even if you ask 13-year-old British Muggle children, they won’t be able to answer all of them correctly!

It covers a wide range of fields including history, biology, physics, chemistry, common sense, etc. It's not bad to let Chinese kids answer it!

Liu Sen didn't have to put in much effort. Hermione was only unsure about one or two questions. Apart from them, all the little wizards in the classroom looked confused. What were they asking?

Why can I understand individual words clearly, but can’t recognize them when they are put together?

Even the young wizards of Muggle origin had many questions they could not answer. After all, they left modern society at the age of 11 and had not learned any advanced things from Muggles.

Draco and Pansy stared at each other in surprise. They had thought that after traveling around, Muggles would no longer have any secrets for them. However, they found out that they were too naive. Muggles' knowledge was so profound!

After the test papers were collected, Professor Bubbage was surprised to find Liu Sen and Hermione's full score papers, and gave Gryffindor 20 extra points.

It was not until Professor Bubaji started her lecture that Liu Sen understood why the questions she asked covered so many areas.

Professor Bubbage began by making a simple comparison between Muggles and wizards, and then began to talk about their respective developments from a historical perspective.

Later, he began to teach everyone how to hide their identities in the Muggle world, what the things they saw on the Muggle streets were used for, and the stories and rough principles behind those things, etc. Some of them were completely correct, while others were just his personal guesses.

Except for Liu Sen, almost all the young wizards were confused, and often one sentence contained 3 or 4 knowledge points. Even Hermione had to write quickly to keep up with the teacher's train of thought.

By the time the get out of class was over, the enthusiasm of more than half of the young wizards had been dampened. What they had thought was an interesting course turned out to be a hodgepodge of knowledge points, which was in some ways even more boring than the history of magic!

Professor Bubbaji stopped Liu Sen and Hermione who were packing their bags. "This is the first time I've seen a perfect score on a test paper in all my years of teaching! That's great! You must be as fascinated by the Muggle world as I am, right?" Her face was filled with an eager smile, as if she had found a like-minded partner. "It's a pity that many children only like Muggles on the surface, but are never willing to delve into their wisdom and culture!"

Hermione gave an awkward but polite smile and quietly stepped back, feeling that this teacher seemed a little too fascinated by Muggles.

Liu Sen also wanted to retreat, but Hermione pushed him forward. "Damn! You'd rather die than let your friend die, right?" Liu Sen complained in his heart.

"Um... Professor Bubbage, I think the students might be very interested in Muggles, but if you... teach them too much knowledge, they might not be able to remember it all at once!"

Professor Bubbage sighed: "I know this too...but the knowledge of Muggles is so subtle and vast. I just hope that everyone can learn as much as possible, otherwise the gap between us and Muggles will only get bigger and bigger!"

"Ah... Professor, what do you think is the significance of the Muggle Studies class?" Liu Sen couldn't help but ask.

"Well...guide wizards to pay more attention to Muggles and learn knowledge from them!"

Liu Sen asked tentatively: "Professor, do you think the teaching objectives have been achieved?"

Professor Bubbaji blinked and said with some frustration, "Not so good. Students just cope with the exams but never study in depth. They forget everything after graduation! Look at the development of the wizarding world over the years! Of course, you and the Galaxy Group have done it! Novel buildings! Convenient mobile phones! Fun games! And magical express lockers!"

"It's okay! Muggle science and technology really inspire us a lot!" Liu Sen said embarrassedly.

"That's right! They don't have magic, so they use science and wisdom to make up for their shortcomings! How amazing! I really hope every student has your awareness!"

"In fact, I think we should stimulate everyone's interest in learning, let them find the areas they are interested in and learn Muggle knowledge in a targeted way. After all... knowledge is endless, and learning too much will make it impossible to master it. It's like wizards. After graduation, some of us become Aurors, and some play Quidditch... It's easier to achieve results if we focus on one field!"

Professor Bubbage's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had found the key to the lukewarm Muggle Studies class.

But soon she sighed again, "I also know that I should stimulate students' interests and let them find the direction they like to study. But the 'teaching facilities' I have collected are limited. I can only list the issues involved and talk to you!" She pointed to the messy Muggle items placed around the classroom, "In fact, I also hope to take students to the Muggle streets for a walk! Just like your vacation trip!"

Liu Sen understood. It turned out that this was the reason why Professor Burbagi and Professor Dumbledore secretly changed his classes.

"That's easy. I'll have the Galaxy Group set up a travel company right away!"

"But... the Ministry of Magic won't agree... they'll bring up the Statute of Secrecy!"

"Hey, I think Minister Fudge would agree!"

Liu Sen smiled brightly, and found a new direction for the Muggle Studies class while chatting and laughing. In the eyes of Professor Bubbage, he was simply a model student, but Hermione was very familiar with this smile... Good luck to a certain minister!
