266. Muggle Studies
After finishing Arithmancy, he had to rush to the bathroom where he had used the time turner two hours ago, so as not to disturb the time and be suspected by others.
So Hermione and Elaine quickly put on the invisibility cloak and ran wildly in the corridor.
Elaine's body was shocked when she witnessed the other person disappearing under the invisibility cloak.
The live broadcast room appeared again, and the audience was wondering why Elaine didn't go back to the past.
……Fine.
The two pretended to be fine and went to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class with Harry and Ron.
Although Professor Trelawney also predicted Harry's death, well, without Sirius, Dementors, and other worries, it would be really difficult for Harry to believe that the ominous content in the tea leaves was a sign of death. .
In addition, Professor McGonagall told them that Professor Trelawney had predicted the death of one student every year since he started teaching, but after those students were all alive and well, Harry became even more dissatisfied.
"I think Professor McGonagall is right." Harry said to them during lunch. "As for death, Elaine didn't die after all her messing around. I think I will definitely not——"
"It's hard to say." Elaine gave him a murderous smile, "Maybe I will kill you?"
Really, why do these people think she will die?
Forget it about Daphne, even Harry is like this, is she such a wasteland?
"But, um, Harry." Lavender said worriedly, "What happened to Neville's teacup? And... you didn't... you didn't see the big dog recently, right?"
"Yes, we see it quite often." Harry picked up some more cod for himself. "My godfather often turns into a big dog to make me laugh during the summer vacation - if it's him in my cup, then he probably wants to play with me."
Hermione laughed, and Ron's frown relaxed. Except for Lavender and Parvati, everyone else quickly forgot about this matter, because there were a lot of people who had just finished class. The fifth graders suddenly came over and everyone gave Elaine a thumbs up.
"Well done, Shafiq!"
"That's amazing, Elaine."
"I admire you more and more. You are really brave."
"...What's going on?"
Everyone was confused, and Elaine was also a little confused.
But she understood when she heard that they had just finished the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
"Maybe you've seen Adair's new body." She calmly forked a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, "It's not a big deal, you will see it later."
"...Did you do anything?" Hermione asked cautiously. "Made a very strange body? Two heads or four hands─"
"Who am I?" Elaine gave Hermione a look of grievance, "I have worked hard to help him find a very good body. He is young, handsome, has a good figure, and is suitable for fighting. Can’t fault it.”
"That's right." A fifth grader smiled and nodded. "That body is really suitable for Professor Shafiq, very beautiful... you will also be amazed when you see it."
Having said that, the third year Gryffindor's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is not until tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon, there was a class on Magical Creatures and Muggle Studies. After Elaine had eaten and drank, she went to the classroom to prepare lessons.
The classroom of the Muggle Studies class is very ordinary. Since it was rushed to put it on the shelf, Elaine did not have time to make modifications. It still maintained the style of the previous professor's classroom, with ordinary tables, chairs, bookshelves, and a lot of messy props.
Holding a model arm, Elaine really didn’t understand what the last professor taught.
Why would you use this kind of thing...
Students entered the classroom sporadically. There were very few students taking this course. There were only twenty people on the list, only half of the number of divination... However, the number of people in the classroom was a little more than twenty, and there were Some senior students were mixed in, obviously here to observe.
After everyone was seated, Elaine coughed dryly and began to preach.
"Uh... the textbooks can be put away. We won't be using the textbooks this semester, and we won't be using them in the future." Elaine said calmly, "Most of the Muggle studies books on the market are full of errors, but ours The O.W.L exams are still based on those books... so you go back and read them yourself."
"Then Professor, Professor, what can you teach us?"
A student immediately interrupted, emphasizing the title of professor.
Elaine glanced at him, a little surprised, because the other person was a senior Ravenclaw student.
"I can teach you about the changes in Muggle technology in the next twenty years." Elaine had already known that there would be people who would cause trouble, and her expression remained unchanged as she continued. "Now is the period when Muggle technology is developing the fastest. They have conquered the bottom of the sea, left the earth, and left their footprints on the moon."
"Next, they will expand their exploration of this world and speed up the spread of information. In another ten years, when you are discovered by a Muggle, your face will be spread all over the world before you even have time to draw out your wand. Thousands, even tens of thousands of people saw it.”
There was a burst of laughter from below, and Elaine saw Daphne and Hermione frowning at the same time, and even turned their heads to see who was snickering.
"Facts speak louder than words. You will know it by reading the teaching materials I handed out, Nott!"
The house elf appeared with a pile of books. Elaine took out her wand and tapped on the book. The mountain of books suddenly became taller again.
"I will prepare teaching materials in the future. Please bring the handouts I handed out to you in class. You can do whatever you want with that textbook, but those who want to take the O.W.L. exam should read more, because the things I teach will never be tested in the Ministry of Magic exams. ——Students who are observing, please pick the replica created by the replicating spell."
After everyone got the handouts, Elaine waved her wand again, and many words appeared on the blackboard.
"In the first class, I will explain my rules first. If anyone causes trouble, it goes without saying that he will not be allowed to come to the next class. I have many ways to make him go to the campus hospital for a month - I am not just saying this. , don’t forget, even your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor can’t defeat me, so if you want to be attacked by mercury, you can give it a try.”
The students below shrank their necks.
"Remember the rules on the blackboard. Now, let's enter our first lesson." Elaine said, "In recent years, Muggles have continued to develop technology, but wizards' magic has been stagnant."
"From the most basic point of view, the way wizards travel has been fixed. Floo powder, flying broomsticks, flying magic carpets, door keys, and apparation are both fast and time-saving. I'm afraid they won't have much impact in the future. changes; while Muggles could only rely on their own legs and animals - until the 18th century, when the Industrial Revolution began, and since then, Muggles' methods of travel began to improve significantly."
Elaine raised her wand and played a piece of light music at random - "Lurie" by Rig?l Theatre. The Celtic-style music slightly attracted the attention of the little British wizards, and various phantoms appeared on the front end of Elaine's wand. , also made their eyes widen.
First there are people, people who walk, people who swim.
Next to the phantom, there are glowing fonts marked with their speed, passenger capacity, and various data.
Then there are horses, donkeys, oxen, rickshaws, and wooden boats.
Eventually it became riders, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, sailing boats, building boats, and hot air balloons.
The tempo of the music gradually gets faster and the phantoms keep changing.
From some bizarre steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, bicycles, trains, ironclad ships...
When they arrived at cars, airplanes, trams, and spaceships, the expressions of the little wizards finally changed.
The latest Fire Dome rocket can accelerate to 10 miles per hour in 150 seconds.
However, the speed of each of the various fighter phantoms conjured by Elaine was more than ten times that of the Fire Dome Arrow.
This kind of digital crushing is the most intuitive, and coupled with the energetic music, it shows the vigorous development of Muggle technology.
As long as the wizard's brain is not broken, he can feel the gap.
"...Professor, but Apparition can reach anywhere instantly, right?"
Therefore, some depressed students raised their hands and asked questions.
"Anywhere?" Elaine smiled, "There is no record of a wizard setting foot on the moon in this world. Is it so difficult to admit losing to a Muggle?"
