Chapter 23 A novel class experience
Hand over the wand?
What a strange request!
Shall we pretend to be Muggles?
Soon, all the little wizards handed in their wands, and Sebastian put them into his traceless extension bag.
Then, he waved his hand and walked out with all the little wizards.
What's the situation?
Isn't the class about to start?
Why did you go out?
They were all walking out of the castle gate.
This is really difficult for the little wizards.
It's Muggle Studies class, for sure.
Why are you walking towards the school gate?
The group arrived at the school gate in a mighty procession and found a car parked outside.
The young wizards all looked at their Professor Swann, waiting for him to say something that could solve their confusion.
Seeing this, Sebastian did not keep the secret and laughed loudly:
"Little wizards, what are you waiting for? Get in the car."
Hearing the professor's words, the little wizards all rushed to the bus.
Before getting on the bus, a little wizard who had taken the Knight Bus began to share his experience.
"It's the Knight Bus! I took it once last year! But I vomited for a long time after getting off the bus..."
"When I took it last year, there were only some movable beds in the car, and the wizards were lying on them very unsteadily."
"Wow!"
"Now they have been replaced with rows of seats, made of leather, so soft to sit on."
"Remember to hold on tight! Once the car starts, you'll feel a strong push on your back."
"I had a terrible fall last year and was tumbling on the ground for a long time before I could get up."
After Sebastian got in the car, he gave all the young wizards a brief safety lecture.
Under his guidance, all the little wizards understood the function and usage of seat belts.
After the young wizards fastened their seat belts, Sebastian said to the driver:
"set off!"
The little wizards immediately became nervous and held on to the handrails beside them tightly, as if the seat belts on their bodies could not give them a sense of security!
A thoughtful little wizard saw Sebastian still standing in the middle of the aisle and shouted to him anxiously:
"Professor, hold on tight. You'll fall!"
However, before he could finish his words, the bus drove away.
Huh? ? ?
Looking at the obstacles in front of the bus that kept jumping to the side automatically, the little wizards became confused again.
Where is the push back feeling? !
Didn't you say you would fall?!
I wonder if the professor will think I am stupid if he sees me looking so nervous.
A young Muggle wizard kept muttering, "Why is there no inertia at all? It's not scientific at all!"
His companion next to him interrupted immediately after hearing this: "Are you stupid? This is the magic world. We don't talk about science, we only talk about magic!"
A senior wizard made some guesses, "I think the principle of the traceless extension spell is applied here."
"For a box that has been cast with the Traceless Stretching Charm, the contents inside will not be in disarray no matter how hard the outside shakes."
"Have you heard of Master Newt Scamander? I heard that when he was young, he liked to carry a box of magical beasts around."
Seeing the puzzled looks of the little wizards, Sebastian smiled and said:
"Hello everyone, this is the Knight Bus 2.0 launched by Swan Alchemy. You can also call it the 'Knight Bus'."
"It's safer, more comfortable, and more convenient for wizards who can't Apparate to travel!"
"It's just as convenient as before. Just stand by the roadside and make a gesture to stop a car with your wand in your hand."
After hearing the professor’s explanation, the students couldn’t sit still anymore and started discussing excitedly.
"That's the bad thing about Swann Alchemy. Every time a new product comes out, there's not even any advertising."
"That's right. I don't know how Swann Alchemy got to where he is today."
"The quality is excellent, relying on word of mouth!"
"That's great. Next summer I'm going to Diagon Alley with my parents on the Knight Bus."
"Professor, where are we going?"
Hearing the students' questions, Sebastian pretended to be mysterious and said:
"Keep it secret!"
"Let's chat first."
He looked at a Slytherin student and asked:
"Marcus Flint, I heard you don't like Muggles! Why did you choose this course?"
Marcus smiled innocently, a little embarrassed, and replied:
"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pass the other classes, so I chose this class and Divination in order to pass the OWL exam."
Hearing this, the little wizards burst into laughter, which made Marcus angry.
Sebastian stopped the students from laughing and said:
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, professor. I also took this course during my school years. And to be honest, the exam for this course is indeed easy."
Looking at a familiar red-haired boy in the crowd, Sebastian named him:
"Charlie Weasley, you were laughing happily just now, so tell me about it."
Charlie laughed out loud and said, "Professor, to be honest, this is my reason as well. I think most people choose this course for this reason."
"Great!" Sebastian said with a smile, "Since everyone's goal is the exam, let's work towards that goal first."
Sebastian sat down, took out the students' test papers and began to look through them.
Large blank areas?
Whose paper is this?
Oh, Marcus!
This course is supposed to be easy!!!
Look at the next one.
Amazing!
It is exactly the same as the description in the textbook.
Percy Weasley is indeed a top student!
After reading the test papers of all the young wizards, Sebastian felt relieved.
Everyone answered well.
It’s easy to achieve teaching goals.
Not long after, the Knight Bus stopped in front of a large warehouse on the outskirts of London.
After getting off the car, Sebastian gathered the little wizards together and said to them:
"Rather than having you read some boring text in a book."
"Why don't I take you to the Muggle world to experience it myself."
After saying that, Sebastian turned around, opened the door of the warehouse with the Swan family logo, and walked in with the little wizards.
The entire warehouse is larger than the Quidditch pitch. There is a running track surrounding the inner wall. The area enclosed by the running track is filled with all kinds of Muggle supplies.
The little wizards were extremely excited.
The professor is so cool!
This is completely different from the Muggle Studies classes I've taken before.
Just bring them to the Muggle world to play.
What a novel class experience this is!
Look at all this Muggle stuff.
It has been divided into different areas according to grade.
The professor really has his own way!
Charlie, who was walking in the front, patted his brother Percy excitedly and exclaimed:
“Dad will love this place!”
"I really should write him now and ask him to come and take classes with us!"
