"Where are the people?"
"Where's Albert?"
"He was behind me just now, how come he suddenly disappeared?"
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all very confused. The four of them were just about to go to the divination class together, but Albert "disappeared" inexplicably.
"Are you too tired to walk?"
"Believe it or not, he will suddenly appear and beat you up." Fred rolled his eyes at Lee Jordan beside him.
"By the way, don't you think the Clone Charm is weird? I've never heard of such a weird spell." Lee Jordan expressed his doubts. "I've checked many books and even asked Professor Flitwick, but I haven't found the so-called Clone Charm."
"Don't be silly. That clone spell was purely made up by Albert to fool us. Do you think I don't know?" Fred curled his lips, doubting whether his roommate had used his brain.
"We've been together for so long, don't you know him well? He must be hiding some secret from us." George's thoughts were similar to Fred's. "I dare say Percy also knows the reason, but he obviously won't tell us. If you can take all 12 courses, you will probably know how they managed not to miss a single course."
Yes, the three of them have asked their classmates from other colleges. Albert and Katrina have never missed a class.
However, no one knew how they did this, and they could only assume that Albert knew the so-called clone spell.
In fact, even if the three of them were curious and wanted to ask, Albert would not tell them.
When necessary, Albert's mouth is really tight-lipped.
"What are you talking about?"
Albert's voice suddenly rang out, and his figure appeared silently behind the three people.
"Where on earth did you go just now?" Fred couldn't help asking.
"Don't ask, it's a secret." Albert simply said he didn't want to answer, "Okay, let's go."
"What about your Muggle Research?" Fred asked tentatively.
"Of course, let the clone go to class."
On the other side, Albert, who had just walked out of the toilet, followed the crowd towards the Muggle Studies classroom.
Halfway through, I met Katrina alone in the corridor.
Albert stopped and waited for the other party to come over and asked, "How do you feel about Muggle Research?"
"I'm not used to it. There are many things I don't understand. What are the batteries and plugs mentioned in the book? What are stamps? Why do I need to put stamps on letters?" Katrina glanced at Albert and kept on talking. She did study the book "British Muggle Life and Social Habits" well.
However, if you have not been exposed to the lives of ordinary people, you will feel confused about some common sense.
The two entered the classroom together, and Katrina glared at Albert, who was smiling at his seat, with a little dissatisfaction.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, this is probably the so-called generation gap. To be honest, I don't even know some common sense about the wizarding world." Albert shook his head and said, "If you really want to understand the Muggle world, it's best to stay in the Muggle world for a few months, or even a few years, then you will naturally understand it, instead of taking classes here."
"I don't have the time, and I don't want to go." Katrina asked, "Why did you choose Muggle Studies? You should already know a lot about Muggles."
"Many people say that choosing Muggle Studies is stupid, but I personally think that wizards should know something about non-magical society, otherwise you won't be able to disguise yourself properly." Albert said with a smile, "As for why I chose Muggle Studies, it's because I want to see how wizards view Muggles. To be honest, this course is very interesting."
"Interesting? You must be laughing at us in your heart!" Katrina curled her lips with disdain.
"Many wizards also laugh at Muggle-born students, and even come up with an insulting term for them." Albert said self-deprecatingly, "Next time, I will definitely suggest to Dumbledore to find a Muggle-born wizard to be his assistant."
Professor Charity Burbage, who is in charge of Muggle Studies, is a pure-blood wizard.
Well, a pro-Muggle wizard like Ron's father. However, the disadvantage is that he is actually also studying Muggles, and he doesn't know enough about the Muggle world, so he often makes jokes.
At least, to Albert, those were jokes.
"Albert, tell everyone why Muggles need electricity." The class started quickly. One of the things Professor Kerry Di Bubagi liked to do was to call on Albert to answer questions when there were any in class.
Of course, extra points will be given after answering.
For this purpose, a task called "Scores Maniac" appeared on the panel.
The task is to help Gryffindor gain 1,000 points during school. The reward is a level up in a designated skill, 20 points of Professor McGonagall's favorability, and 200 points of legend.
The mission rewards are awesome.
Albert estimated that he should be able to finish it easily before graduation.
After all, with Lockhart next year, it should be no problem to easily get 100 or 200 points.
"Electricity is a kind of energy for Muggles. It provides energy for the various electrical appliances they make. In the lives of Muggles, there are countless electrical appliances that need electricity to keep running in order to make life go on and live a better and more comfortable life." Albert answered the question slowly.
In fact, many students cannot understand how Muggles live without magic. They would ask, how do Muggles travel without Floo powder? How do Muggles send letters without owls
All right!
Honestly speaking, if he hadn't understood the two different ways of thinking of wizards and Muggles, when he first came to Muggle Studies, he would probably have thought that the classroom was full of idiots.
"So... Mr. Anderson, can you introduce Muggle electrical appliances to everyone?" Professor Kerry Di Bubagi continued to ask questions, while Albert had already sat in the armchair prepared by the other party.
This is the latest one we have come up with, one question and one answer. Everyone likes this teaching model. Professor Keridi Bubaji also likes it because he can learn a lot of knowledge from Albert.
Yes, that's right, Albert's position is an assistant teacher, an unpaid assistant teacher.
Of course, Professor Keridi Bubagi exempted Albert from all homework. He only needed to write an occasional paper.
"What is the purpose of a light bulb, what is the point of a plug, what is a television for, and what is a telephone?"
Albert answered a few questions cooperatively, then asked, "Have you ever lived in the Muggle world without using magic?"
"Yes, I once spent a week in the Muggle world," Professor Kerry Di Bubage recalled. "It was a wonderful trip. I even wanted to write a book to share this story with everyone."
At this moment, Albert recalled a sentence from his previous life: Even today’s masters of Chinese studies might not be as good as children born into aristocratic families in ancient times.
Can what you have learned and studied be compared with a part of other people's lives
This is apparently also the case with Professor Keridi Bubaji.
What he believed, what everyone in the classroom believed, and the reality were so different.
"Many people regret not choosing Muggle Studies." After class, Katrina and Albert walked side by side in the corridor, "They want to come and see..."
"Everyone just thinks it's funny." Facing Katrina's teasing, Albert remained calm, "It's more interesting to talk to them based on my own experience and knowledge."
"You know what? I've read a lot of books about France, I've been to France twice, and I can even speak fluent French," he said self-deprecatingly, "but I never thought I knew that country."
"Is the gap huge?"
Katrina understood what Albert meant. Having once lived in the Muggle world, Albert knew what those things were better than anyone else and thought that what was taught in class was a bit ridiculous.
Perhaps this course should be taught by a Muggle-born wizard, or a wizard who has lived in the Muggle world for many years.
Although Professor Charity Burbage was indeed as curious about the Muggle world as Mr. Weasley, that was all.
Research is just research after all!
"I really envy you. The third-year courses seem so easy for you." Katrina glanced at Albert beside her and said, "Whether it's divination, mathematical divination, ancient magic runes, or even Muggle studies."
She even suspected that Albert's Care of Magical Creatures could be learned easily.
"Do you regret choosing all of them now?" Albert asked.
"No!" Katrina shook her head angrily. She would not give up easily.
“My advice is, specialize in what you want to do in the future, just learn those subjects well, and you can throw away the rest.”
"It's hard to imagine that such words would come out of your mouth." Katrina curled her lips and said, "Then why did you choose all of them?"
For the Time Turner!
Of course, Albert would not tell anyone about this.
"Don't you think it looks good to have a bunch of o's on your transcript?" Albert asked with a smile.
Katrina never doubted whether Albert could get twelve excellences. He was so outstanding. If she could still see her sister Isobel's back, she could hardly see Albert's receding back.
I can’t catch up!
Although she knew this, Katrina just didn't want to give up. She didn't like to admit defeat, and she didn't want to admit defeat.
