Chapter 39: Human Relationships Are Indispensable Everywhere
After a while, Marcus called his gaming partner, the little Hufflepuff wizard.
Charlie and Wood also brought a seventh-year Ravenclaw student, and the five of them formed a team.
The little Hufflepuff wizard was the only one from the Muggle world in the team. With his rich shopping experience, he instantly became the star of the team.
The third-grade wizard was not at all stage-shy among the senior students. He confidently began to introduce the various products in the supermarket to everyone.
"This is delicious, barbecue-flavored potato chips! We can get a bag, just enough for everyone to share!"
"The ice cream is delicious too. There are strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavors. But it's hard to share among the five of us."
"And this, Oreo sandwich cookies, everyone who has tried it says it's delicious!"
"Or we can get a few small boxes of yogurt, which are affordable and much more cost-effective than Coke."
Charlie and his friends were dazzled. The dazzling array of goods, introduced by the young Hufflepuff wizard, made everyone drool.
Marcus fiddled with the coins in his hand and said with emotion: "Honestly, Muggle coins are so easy to convert. The 1 to 10 exchange rate is really convenient!"
"It's very troublesome to exchange the currency of the magic world. 29 copper knuts are equivalent to 1 silver Sickle, and 17 silver Sickles can be exchanged for 1 gold galleon. Every time I buy something, I feel that my brain is not enough..."
"Unfortunately, the five of us only have £1 pence in total. I really want to try them all!" Marcus swallowed, "It would be great if I could spend gold galleons."
Charlie suddenly had an idea and suggested to everyone: "Why don't we go find the professor to exchange some pounds."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all applauded Charlie's idea.
"Let's chip in and exchange a few Galleons, and we can eat whatever we want."
"I have one Galleon, how about you?"
"Marcus is so generous, I have two silver Sickles here!"
......
But before they could set off, Sebastian's voice came to their ears.
"I'm sorry, Professor, we don't support currency exchange here. You need to make a choice!"
The five people were immediately discouraged. The way to exchange currency was blocked, so everyone had to be frugal.
Marcus cursed a little: "Professor Swan is so boring, with such little money, how can it be enough to spend!"
"How stingy!"
When Charlie and his companions heard Marcus' complaint, they looked at the warrior with surprise, then silently took a few steps back and distanced themselves from Marcus.
How brave!
How dare you say that Professor Swann is stingy.
Aren't you afraid that the professor will hear you?!
Although the professor is not as generous today as before, we are still spending his money.
How about kicking Marcus out of the team and finding a Slytherin student?
It would be bad if the professor got angry and took back all our money.
Marcus saw everyone's gazes and his face turned pale.
Done!
How come you spoke out your true feelings?
The professor must have heard it.
I just said I wanted to exchange gold galleons with him and everyone heard it.
These guys didn't know how to stop me.
What should we do now?
Waiting online!
urgent!
Marcus' forehead broke out in a few drops of sweat. His mind raced as he hurriedly explained to everyone, "Don't get me wrong."
"Although the professor is being stingy today, it's all for our own good!"
"We need to understand his good intentions."
“If everyone had enough money, no one would cooperate.”
"Wouldn't it be nice to just buy what you like to eat?"
"He would rather bear the blame than let us learn the principle of cooperation."
As he spoke, Marcus changed the subject, looked at his companions viciously, and used the method of moral kidnapping.
"Look, the four of us can stand together peacefully, all thanks to the professor."
"He is the greatest wizard in my heart!"
"Don't you think so?"
Wood was stunned by Marcus' words!
Good guy!
Shameless!
The flattery was deafening.
He also wants to drag us down and flatter the professor together.
Is this Marcus the Troll?
So smart?
Could it be that he has been cast under the professor's Imperius Curse?
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little cold, Charlie stepped forward, patted Marcus on the shoulder, and said loudly: "You are so right!"
"The professor definitely spent a lot of time and effort on us."
"Let's not let the professor down and continue shopping."
Looking at the shocked Wood, Charlie raised his eyebrows, feeling a little proud.
Although this assist by me helped Marcus out of trouble, one cannot live without the ways of the world in this world.
Now that I have helped Marcus, he will have to be obedient when we get on the court.
Wood is still too young and needs more training in social skills.
He clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the other four people: "Come on, let's figure out what to buy."
Marcus wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Charlie gratefully.
Good guy!
Charlie actually helped me out.
He is worthy of being the Quidditch captain!
I recognize you!
Everyone gathered together and whispered, calculating over and over again, and finally made a decision.
Take out 70p to buy two cans of Coke and share them among us! Then p for a bag of crisps and the rest of the money is used for sweets.
......
After returning to the bus, the little wizards' seats were very different from when they came.
The new guys who joined this course only sat with people from their own college when they arrived. There was a clear distinction between them.
After shopping together, they now stay with their team members to share the food.
The little wizards ate, drank, talked and laughed, without any sense of strangeness as when they first arrived.
After accepting the candy from a little Ravenclaw witch, Sebastian observed the students with a smile.
Good guy!
Almost everyone had a Coke!
Fortunately, disposable cups were already prepared on the Knight Bus.
Otherwise, I don’t know how anxious the little ones would be.
After all, no one has a wand now, so there is no way to use the Transfiguration spell.
Most people buy similar things, all with cola as the base, accompanied by potato chips or cookies, and some candy.
But there are some alternative ones.
One of the groups was made up entirely of girls. They bought a lot of fruits, such as grapes, bananas, oranges, etc.
Don't say it!
That's pretty smart. Fruit is relatively cheaper.
There are also a few boys who bought two bottles of bubble liquid and are taking turns blowing bubbles.
After returning to Hogwarts, Sebastian returned the wands to the students: "Everyone be quiet!"
"The time is now 6:10 p.m., and there's a delicious meal waiting for you in the auditorium, so let's make it short!"
"This time, the essay is to compare the differences between the Muggle and wizarding worlds in terms of shopping. The time limit is two weeks."
"Fifth graders, take note."
"The selection criteria for the advanced class will no longer be based on the OWL exam. 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 your sixth grade, please take your papers seriously."
"In addition, the number of students in this course exceeded expectations, and the learning content of different grades will be different."
"Starting from the next class, we will start teaching in separate classes. We will notify you of the specific class time separately!"
"Also, to celebrate the successful completion of today's Muggle Studies class," Sebastian smiled slightly and said gently, "I decided to give you all some rewards."
He opened the traceless stretch bag he carried with him, and bottles of Coke and bags of candy immediately flew out of it and landed precisely in the hands of each little wizard.
"Two bottles of Coke and two bags of candy each. You can take them home and enjoy them slowly, or you can share the joy with your friends who are not taking Muggle Studies. It's up to you."
Looking at the little ones with shining eyes, Sebastian waved his hand.
"What are you still standing here for? Go to the auditorium and eat!"
"Everyone disperse!"
