#39 - Chapter 39: Human Relations Are Indispensable Everywhere
Not long after, Marcus brought his gaming buddy, the Hufflepuff wizard.
Charlie and Wood also pulled in a seventh-year Ravenclaw student, and the five of them formed a team.
Only the Hufflepuff wizard in the team came from the Muggle world, and with his rich shopping experience, he immediately became the star of the team.
This third-year wizard was not at all timid in front of the older students, and generously began to introduce the various products in the supermarket to everyone.
"This is delicious, barbecue-flavored potato chips! We can get a bag, and everyone can share it!"
"Ice cream is also delicious, there's strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavors, but it's not easy for the five of us to divide it."
"And this, Oreo sandwich cookies, everyone who's tried them says they're good!"
"Or we can get a few small boxes of yogurt, which is affordable and much more cost-effective than cola."
Charlie and the others were dazzled. The dazzling array of goods, under the Hufflepuff wizard's introduction, made everyone's mouths water even more.
Marcus fiddled with the coins in his hand and sighed, "To be honest, Muggle currency is so easy to convert. The 1 to 10 exchange rate is really convenient!"
"But the magical world's currency is so troublesome to convert. 29 bronze Knuts are equal to 1 silver Sickle, and 17 silver Sickles can be exchanged for 1 gold Galleon. Every time I buy something, I feel like my brain isn't enough..."
"Unfortunately, the money we five have together is only 1 pound and 25 pence. I really want to try everything!" Marcus swallowed, "If only we could spend Galleons."
Charlie had an idea and suggested to everyone, "Why don't we ask the professor to exchange some pounds for us?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all praised Charlie's idea.
"Let's pool our money and exchange a few Galleons, then we can eat whatever we want."
"I have one Galleon, what about you guys?"
"Marcus is generous, I have 2 silver Sickles here!"
......
But before they could set off, they heard Sebastian's voice.
"I'm sorry, the professor doesn't support currency exchange here. You need to make choices!"
The five of them immediately deflated. The road to currency exchange was blocked, and they could only be frugal.
Marcus complained a bit, "Professor Swann is really boring. How is this little bit of money enough to spend!"
"So stingy!"
When Charlie and the others heard Marcus's complaint, they simultaneously looked at this warrior with surprised eyes, and then silently took a few steps back, distancing themselves from Marcus.
So brave!
He actually dared to say that Professor Swann was stingy.
Wasn't he afraid of being heard by the professor?!
Although the professor was really not as generous today as before, we are still spending the professor's money.
Should we kick Marcus out of the team and find another Slytherin student?
It wouldn't be good if the professor got angry and took back all our money.
Marcus's face turned pale when he saw everyone's eyes.
Crap!
How could he have said what was on his mind!
The professor must have heard it.
He even heard about wanting to exchange Galleons with him just now.
These guys didn't even stop me.
What to do now?
Waiting online!
Urgent!
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Marcus's forehead. His mind raced, and he quickly explained to everyone, "Don't misunderstand."
"Although the professor is very stingy today, it's all for our own good!"
"We must understand his good intentions."
"If everyone had enough money, no one would cooperate."
"Wouldn't it be better to just buy what you like to eat?"
"He would rather bear the infamy than teach us the principle of cooperation."
Saying this, Marcus changed the subject and looked fiercely at his companions, using the great moral kidnapping technique.
"You see, the fact that people from our four houses can stand together peacefully is all thanks to the professor."
"He is the greatest wizard in my heart!"
"Don't you think so too?"
Wood was stunned by Marcus's words!
Good heavens!
What shameless flattery!
He even wanted to drag us into flattering the professor together.
Is this the troll Marcus?
Is he so smart?
Could he have been hit by the professor's Imperius Curse!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Charlie stepped forward, patted Marcus's shoulder hard, and said loudly, "You're absolutely right!"
"The professor must have put a lot of thought into us."
"We must not let down the professor's painstaking efforts. Let's continue shopping."
Looking at the shocked Wood, Charlie raised his eyebrows, feeling a little smug in his heart.
Although his wave of assists helped Marcus out of the predicament, how can life be without worldly wisdom.
Now that he has helped Marcus, he will have to listen obediently on the field.
Wood is still too young, and needs more tempering in terms of worldly wisdom.
He clapped his hands and drew the attention of the other four: "Come, come, let's calculate, what exactly should we buy?"
Marcus wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Charlie gratefully.
Good heavens!
Charlie actually helped him out of the predicament.
No wonder he is the Quidditch captain!
I acknowledge you!
Everyone gathered together and whispered, constantly calculating, and finally made a decision.
Take out 70 pence to buy two cans of cola and share them! Then forty pence for a bag of potato chips, and the rest of the money is used to buy candy.
......
After returning to the bus, the seats of the young wizards were very different from when they came.
The little guys who had just joined this class only sat with people from their own house when they came, which was very distinct.
After shopping together, in order to share the food, they are now staying with their group members.
The little wizards ate and drank, talking and laughing, without the slightest sense of unfamiliarity from when they came.
After receiving a candy from a Ravenclaw witch, Sebastian smiled and observed the students' situation.
Good heavens!
Almost everyone has a cup of cola!
Fortunately, the Knight Bus had prepared disposable cups in advance.
Otherwise, I don't know how anxious the little guys would be.
After all, everyone doesn't have a wand now, and there's no way to use the Transfiguration Charm.
Most people bought the same things, cola as the base, with potato chips or biscuits, plus some candy.
But there are also some outliers.
One group was all girls, and they bought a lot of fruit, grapes, bananas, and oranges.
Don't tell me!
They're quite smart, fruit is relatively cheaper.
There were also a few boys who bought two bottles of bubble liquid and were taking turns blowing bubbles.
After returning to Hogwarts, Sebastian returned the wands to the students: "Everyone be quiet!"
"The time now is 6:10 pm. There are delicious meals waiting for you in the Great Hall, so let's keep it short!"
"This time's essay is to compare the differences between the Muggle world and the magical world in terms of shopping, with a time limit of two weeks."
"Fifth-year students, pay attention."
"The selection criteria for the advanced class will no longer be based on the O.W.L. exams, after all, the exam for this course will be very easy for you."
"So, if you want to join the professor's advanced class in the sixth year, please be sure to take your essays seriously."
"In addition, because the number of people in this class has exceeded expectations, and the learning content for different grades will also be different."
"Starting from the next class, we will start teaching in separate classes, and we will notify you of the specific class time separately!"
"In addition, in order to celebrate the successful completion of today's Muggle Studies class," Sebastian smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "I decided to give everyone some rewards."
He opened the undetectable extension bag he was carrying, and suddenly bottles of cola and bags of candy flew out of it, accurately landing in the hands of every little wizard.
"Two bottles of cola and two bags of candy per person. You can take them back and enjoy them slowly by yourself, or you can share the joy with friends who didn't take the Muggle Studies class. It's up to you."
Looking at the little guys with glowing eyes, Sebastian waved his hand.
"What are you still standing here for? Go to the Great Hall for dinner!"
"Everyone dismissed!"
