Sword and Magic and Taxi

Zhao Mai looked at the students in his class, hoping that there would be no naughty children... Maybe Duojian's prediction was just a prediction and would not necessarily become reality.

Observing Muggles? I won't do that kind of time-wasting thing. A boy with blond hair said proudly: Those people don't even know magic. They live in a dirty world full of poisonous smoke. They'll kill each other like wild dogs. You can deny me points, but you can't insult me ​​and think I need to learn from that kind of person!

Well said! Zhao Mai sighed in his heart, but still gave a thumbs up: You can leave the classroom now, you are expelled from this course.

You! The boy snorted: Students, Teacher Mike is indeed very strong, but this does not become the reason for him to change your minds and try to lower your status! He is not a pure-blood mage, he just knows some Strange witchcraft is used to strengthen his spell. You must recognize this fact! Not everything he says is right...

Professor Dumbledore persuaded me: These are just children! Zhao Mai sighed and said: But I think even children can tell the truth: I just used some strange witchcraft. So much more than you. I was in seventh grade last year, and the year before that I couldn’t use a single spell. You have to see that even people who don’t know magic can still make great and fast progress.

Like... learning from Muggles is an insult to us wizards!

Go and say this to the Department of Muggle Affairs at the Ministry of Magic, or you can put this matter in the Daily Prophet, and be sure to use your real name. If you don't want to complete my homework, that's fine. Now from my classroom Go ahead and leave. Zhao Mai pointed to the door of the classroom.

The student straightened his collar and walked out with his head held high, looking somewhat generous. Zhao Mai looked at the students, sighed, and shook his head: Okay, you don't want to leave anymore, right?

Unexpectedly, three more hands were raised, and Zhao Mai immediately clenched his fists. He gritted his back teeth and said, You know what to do, don't waste my time.

Three more people were missing, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Zhao Mai shook his head, adjusted his emotions, and tried to make his voice calm and strong. Okay, now I'll tell you how to make your spell-casting movements faster and more effective, and how to train the balance of spell-casting with your left and right hands.

It is difficult to change one person, let alone a group of people. The stubbornness of wizards makes their trajectory very easy to predict. What happened in the classroom basically did not go beyond Duojian's plan, so after it happened, Zhao Mai was still busy preparing to create a large inextensible space.

Dumbledore came to the door with a copy of the Daily Prophet.

A rare visitor. I have lived in Hogsmeade Village for so long, and this is your first time here! Come in and sit down. Zhao Mai threw the meat and bones in his hand directly to the food reserve and let it play by itself. go. Xiaohua, can you help prepare some food? Duoji'an is out, and you are the only girl in the house!

No problem! Her voice was still sweet, and she walked directly from Zhao Mai through the wall to the kitchen.

You still have some free time! Haven't you read the Daily Prophet?

After reading it, that kid actually posted an article, saying that I was a weakling who kneeled down to Muggles and was trying to lead the students of Hogwarts and lower the quality of the future of the wizarding world. Unfortunately, he did not dare to be named. Zhao Mai snorted and said, You said everyone knows that it was written by him, so why don't you dare to write his name? It's just so easy to look down on.

Don't you know the seriousness of this matter? Dumbledore said: They will first create momentum in the Daily Prophet, and then someone will put pressure on the school. Principal Dippet takes good care of the students, so he will Putting interests first will most likely deprive you of your qualifications as a teacher. The Ministry of Magic will agree, and then you will no longer have the protection of Hogwarts.

Well, it is possible. Zhao Mai led Dumbledore into the room. Xiaohua had already placed tea cups and tea leaves. Zhao Mai picked up the kettle filled with cold water and held it on the bottom of the pot with his hand. The supernatural heat quickly boiled the water. Drink some tea. The authentic Chinese tea I got recently cost me a lot of gold coins.

You are calm and collected. Have you communicated with the Ministry of Magic?

No, I don't have so much time to waste. If it is really for the benefit of the students, Principal Dippet should know that what I said is right. Zhao Mai smelled the tea, and his senses were finally restored. Thanks to the food from my hometown in the Continental Hotel, the taste memories engraved in my blood have been evoked. so good……

The tea is very good, but... Dumbledore said: They will first publish it in the Daily Prophet...

Thank you, you have already mentioned their actions just now. Zhao Mai said: I have always wanted to ask, what will happen if I am expelled from Hogwarts? What will the Ministry of Magic do?

The Ministry of Magic may expel you and take back your status as a wizard. Dumbledore said: You will be treated as a Muggle, and Muggles who have seen things in the magical world will be... cast an oblivion spell.

That's it? Zhao Mai almost laughed: Dumbledore, what do you think of your magic level? Put a forgetting spell on me, it will be a ghost if it works!

If it doesn't work, you will be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Are you afraid? Zhao Mai said: Dumbledore, are you afraid of Azkaban? That place can kill your father, but it can't kill me.

Dumbledore stood up abruptly, his eyebrows and beard flaring, an anger building in his chest but quickly suppressed. Zhao Mai saw that his fingers were trembling slightly.

I met Grindelwald before, and he criticized me for saying something, thinking that I, like you, lack the courage to really take a crucial step. I have a negative attitude, but learning from enemies is also a kind of learning. So I checked why he said that. Zhao Mai said: Your sister was insulted by a Muggle boy when she was young, which caused her magic to go out of control and drove her crazy. Your father used magic to kill those three teenagers. , and then was imprisoned in Azkaban and died there. You know what I saw, the Daily Prophet from more than thirty years ago was so similar to what I saw this morning! It’s just that the protagonist of that article It's your father.

That's different! You can't do magic in front of Muggles, that's the law.

I admit that your father was a bit reckless. You can use the Forgetting Curse to erase all the memories of those three people. Every once in a while, let them accidentally see the wizard, and then continue to erase the memory. This is allowed by the wizard's law - -Although I hate the Forgetting Curse, the fact is the fact and the method is the method. I understand your father's feelings, but he didn't handle it well, which caused you, your brother and your sister to lose their father's love and die in Azkaban. I'll let you suffer the pain of losing your father again. You can't abandon your intelligence just because you want revenge!

What's the point of saying this? I came to care for you, but you opened old wounds? Dumbledore shook his head, his eyes full of sorrow.

Of course not. Zhao Mai said, Of course not for such a simple reason.
