Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue
Chapter 4 Elena and Professor McGonagall
"I mean……"
Elena glanced at Professor McGonagall, paused for a moment at her plaid coat that looked to be a popular style at least six or seven years ago, and shrugged, "You are right, we are indeed two people. people in the world. Please ()”
In her previous life, when she was in college, Elena took a minor in a particularly interesting course called Social Economics.
In class, the teacher who seemed a bit cynical said something that made Elena feel that it was particularly suitable for the current scene.
"Mystery and the unknown, only create distance, not class."
Elena raised her finger and said seriously every word, "The only thing that can divide human beings, a naturally social creature, into two worlds, in the final analysis is only one - poverty!"
There is no doubt that since humans first recognized the existence of magic, the group of wizards who control supernatural powers have indeed had advantages that are far inferior to ordinary people in terms of accumulation of wealth, power, and fame.After all, before the explosion of technology, most of the efforts of ordinary people were no more than a wizard waving a few wands.
Looking back at history, the 28 most famous pure-blood families in the magic world are all wealthy families with at least a hundred years of heritage and great reputation and wealth.Such as the Gaunt family, the Longbottom family, the Potter family, etc., all of them relied on their own magical power during that period to amass a large amount of wealth, power, and fame.
Therefore, the wizarding world and the Muggle world were artificially distinguished a long time ago. If you look for the reason, it is nothing more than a deliberate attempt by those arrogant ancient wizards to maintain their own sense of mystery (high level of authority). Just the threshold.
However, with the passage of time, the positions of the two worlds have inadvertently been exchanged.
You know, magic is not omnipotent.To be more precise, in Elena's view, the positioning of magic is actually to provide convenience, break through the inherent limitations of natural laws, and be the icing on the cake.
Unfortunately, apparently most wizards are not aware of this.The backward, workshop-based education system has even made generations of wizards face serious challenges in even the most basic livelihood.
For example, a certain unnamed Voldemort's mother came from the Gaunt family. The ancestor was once an evil rich man, but by the 90s, the family fortune had been almost destroyed, except for a shabby Apart from the old house, no decent property remains.
"Times have changed, Professor McGonagall."
Elena shook her head and said softly, "This world no longer belongs to the stage of wizards. I have no interest in the poor and backward magical world you talk about. You can't teach me what I want to know there."
The fact is that it is not that there has been a huge decline in the wizarding world, but that the Muggle world's technology has advanced too quickly under the stimulation of war, and the time left for wizards to accept and digest it is too long. Too short.
Even though there are a few wise adult wizards who can see this, they will realize it in despair when they start to try to integrate into the Muggle world.As a member of the wizarding world who has not received any basic education, it is extremely difficult for them to live a normal life in the Muggle world.
Except for allowing them to go more smoothly on their way to becoming robbers or terrorists, their powerful magical abilities have almost no other useful uses.Hundreds of years ago, a more distant and solid world barrier had been formed again, and Elena had no interest in taking the initiative to go to this big ship that had begun to leak.
"How dare you say that in a poor and backward magical world?! You have no idea what kind of vast and mysterious world you are facing."
As if he was seriously offended, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, her voice became stern, and she quickly retorted without thinking.
"Every adult wizard will study dozens of courses at Hogwarts, including Potions, History of Magic, Zakat, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, etc. However, even for a full seven years, They have only learned a little bit of these courses. No matter it is any branch of magic, it is enough for a wizard to spend a lifetime studying it."
"But what is the value of these courses? If the content of learning cannot even guarantee basic survival, then no matter how profound it is, it is just unrealistic talk." Elena twirled her hanging The silver hair on his shoulders answered casually.
"Every graduate of Hogwarts can find a decent job in the wizarding world." Professor McGonagall continued to retort, feeling a little angry.
"If everyone can find a decent job, then what's the point of hard work? You know, although the academic degree certification model in the Muggle world is somewhat imperfect, at least it is an objective manifestation of basic abilities. And in my case It doesn't sound like it matters that much whether the wizarding world works hard or not."
Raising her head, Elena glanced at Professor McGonagall who had a serious expression on her face, curled her lips, and continued to ask without hesitation.
Compared to Professor McGonagall, to a certain extent, Elena thinks she understands the 'adult society' of the wizarding world better.After all, even academic masters such as Hermione Granger were just employees of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the end. The savior Harry Potter and his little friend Ron directly joined the official violent organization of the wizarding world.
In other words, in fact, the certificates and exams they worried about during school had almost no effect on their actual work. This made thousands of people struggle and struggle in the abyss of the judicial examination, and finally they were able to shoulder the dilemma of justice and social order. How embarrassing are the melons?
Professor McGonagall's eyebrows were raised very high, and there were a few more wrinkles on her forehead. She had never seen such a difficult freshman before, and her tone became cold.
"We will issue owls certificates and s certificates based on students' test scores. At the same time, the knowledge students learn at Hogwarts is not independent. They will run through a wizard's entire life, far from Muggles. Curriculum is more important.”
Feeling Professor McGonagall's displeasure, Elena, who had already made up her mind not to go to Hogwarts, shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "But that doesn't change that the same person is paying the same cost of time and energy. The fact that you can get richer rewards in the Muggle world."
As she spoke, the girl looked at the wall clock beside the bed. This conversation had lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour. Although she was very confident that she could defeat Professor McGonagall's arguments from all angles, it did not mean that she was interested in talking to them. A grandmother-level old wizard analyzes the shortcomings of the magical world.
Elena decided to use her ultimate move to quickly end this pointless debate.
Before Professor McGonagall could refute again, Elena raised her palms and interrupted, "Okay, we won't discuss the usefulness of these courses for now. Dear Professor McGonagall, may I ask, what are the lessons you teach? Are so many students really able to fully grasp the content? Or let me ask another question..."
Elena stretched out her finger and pointed at the gorgeous chair under Professor McGonagall, and raised her eyebrows, "How many graduates can accurately reproduce the transformation magic you just performed? How many students have truly achieved the teaching goals you expected?"
"In your so-called magic world, how many people can really be called capable wizards? Let's take a simple example. How many wizards are 100% guaranteed to easily subdue a Muggle gangster holding a dagger at close range? ?”
"..."
Professor McGonagall opened her mouth and fell into an awkward silence. Although she could just say a numerical value, her long-term habit made her not used to lying. The panic caused by the Dead Apostles will not be that severe.
Elena was not surprised at all by Professor McGonagall's silence.
You know, people like Harry and Ron who never preview textbooks, don't listen carefully in class, and mainly rely on guesswork in exams are all good students with poor grades. It can be imagined that most students at Hogwarts are really bad. To what extent, it can be inferred from this that those little wizards who are not even as good as Harry Potter will probably not be able to go anywhere after graduation.
Even so, Hogwarts is already one of the most prestigious schools in the entire wizarding world, so one can imagine the educational level of the entire wizarding world.Even the children who graduated from primary schools in the most remote mountainous areas of China in the past life are probably these people who have a future.
However, facing the silent Professor McGonagall, Elena did not intend to let it go. She planned to end all topics about magic today and let her life path return to the happy path of urban rebirth and business war.
"Over the years, among the students you have taught, how many of them are now earning a higher salary? I think it is more likely that each class is not as good as the last. To be more straightforward, most of them now have a higher salary. People, if you accidentally encounter some kind of disaster and cannot go to work, you may go hungry next month. Even if you buy a few new pieces of well-made clothes for yourself and your children at the end of the year, you are already living a comfortable life, right?"
Professor McGonagall's breathing became heavier and her lips pursed tightly, like a thin line.Among her former students, only Lucius Malfoy currently lives the most luxurious life, but his wealth mainly comes from the savings of the Malfoy family and does not have much to do with his personal efforts.
"So you ruined your students. Because of your backward, narrow, closed, irresponsible teaching methods, and the magical world that you are proud of, which is completely unclear about its own position.
The most ridiculous thing is that you are still enjoying destroying the infinite possibilities of your students generation after generation. "
Elena stood up straight, raised her head, looked directly at Professor McGonagall without timidity, and raised her voice and spoke loudly.
"You are just a group of poor and backward terrorists who are immersed in a false illusion created by magic and dare not look up at the outside world. You are misleading people."
"I, Elena Kaslana, will never step into that inexplicable world of yours."
"you!"
Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly, her chest rising and falling violently like a bellows, her eyes angrily piercing the face of the little silver-haired girl in front of her like a sharp sword, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end she didn't say anything. sound.
Looking at the wand that Professor McGonagall was holding tightly in her right hand, who was on the verge of rage, Elena swallowed secretly without saying a word - did she seem to have gone too far?
Glancing at the pale and thoughtful Benitez behind her, Elena gritted her teeth, opened her hands to block Benitez, and continued to speak harshly.
"Are you finally ready to take action, Li Qu Ci Qiong, forget all about it or tear out your heart? Come on, let me see what the great wizard's final pride looks like."
"Hmph. Remember what you said, we will meet again."
After Professor McGonagall made a heavy nasal sound, she took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fire in her chest.
Then she took a deep look at Elena, put away the wand in her hand, grabbed the lady's hat on the table, and strode away without saying a word, not even wanting to ask Elena why she knew the spells in the magical world. asked.
——She was afraid that if she continued to talk to this annoying little girl, she would lose control of her emotions completely.
"So, you are really a professor, just from the wizarding world?"
At this time, Benitez, who had been watching since just now, finally managed to clear his mind. He looked at Professor McGonagall's back and subconsciously spoke to persuade him.
"Since you finally came here, why don't you sit down and have a bowl of hot soup before leaving?"
"**! No wizard would eat an owl!"
Professor McGonagall's furious roar came from outside the door. The extremely well-mannered Ms. McGonagall finally couldn't help but swore and slammed the door hard.
Elena spread her hands with an innocent face and shrugged.
"But that's a fat Scottish chicken with a round face."
