Chapter 6 Wizards also have to go to elementary school
When Hamas fell into deep thought again, Grace glanced at her son helplessly and interrupted his thoughts:
"Dear, I heard your dad say something that you want to get a magic wand to practice magic.
"Mom is just an ordinary person and doesn't know much about the magic world, but I want to know, are you really planning to become a wizard?"
Because Hamas acted extremely precociously, he was simply a prodigy among prodigy. In most cases, the Grahams and his wife did not treat him as children at all, and they would respect his opinions in many things.
"Yes, mom!" Hamas was silent for a moment and gave a positive answer, "I would rather be a wizard!"
He also added in his heart:
"I also want to be a powerful wizard, stronger than Dumbledore and Voldemort!"
This is Hames' ambition.
He believed that it was definitely not a fantasy to have a plug-in [Eye of Demon Soul] in hand.
Grace sighed:
"I have also read the reports of the Prophet Daily for many years. I feel that the magic world is becoming increasingly unsafe today, and news of the murder of wizards can often be seen in newspapers.
"Maybe it's not a bad thing to be an ordinary person!"
Hamas has rich experience in how to "coax" his parents. He immediately put on a naive and cute look and said in a crisp childish voice:
"Mom, I know you're worried about me!
"But I think that only by having enough strength can you protect yourself, protect your parents, and Quincy... By the way, there are Morty and William!"
He also intentionally raised his small fist and waved it to emphasize his determination to "protect his family."
Grace was a little moved by her son's "coaxing" and her expression was obviously much softer, but seeing that her son was just over her waist, she was a little amused and crying:
"Mom understands your intentions, but Mom doesn't need your protection."
Hamas' eyes turned and thought of a new statement:
"Mom, the world of ordinary people is not that safe either.
"The global economic crisis that broke out two years ago made the economies of various countries severely hit.
"I remember the Scotsman reported that although central banks have started several rounds of qe, the economy is still deteriorating slowly, the situation shows no sign of improvement at all, and there are more and more unemployed people."
To be honest, a 4-year-old child is serious about the word "economic crisis" and the strong contrast of the word "qe" is impressive and gimmick.
“The unemployment rate in St Andrews’ town increased by 3 percentage points throughout the year last year, and the security situation became worse and worse.
"Before the economic crisis, there were almost no crimes here, but after the economic crisis, thefts occurred frequently in towns.
"I remember last November, a family in the East District was robbed and an old man who lived alone was unfortunately killed by a criminal."
The bloody crime depicted by Hames made Grace's face serious:
"Oh, baby, this is not something you should pay attention to. The police will definitely handle them well, and all criminals will receive the punishment they deserve."
Hames curled his lips slightly and retorted:
"Mom, what I want to express is that if I become an excellent wizard, I will be able to protect my family. I will let the tragedy that happened to that old man never happen in our house!"
He paused, and he whispered:
"Mom, you know, Dad is an employee of the Ministry of Magic, working in 'Edinburgh' and not always staying at home..."
Grace turned her head and glanced at her eldest son's tender little face, then looked down at her youngest son sitting in the stroller, and suddenly felt that these words were very correct.
After all, no one knows who will come first tomorrow or accident.
At critical moments, no one knows whether the police will arrive in time, or as described in the news, they are always late.
In this case, it might be a good thing if there is a little wizard at home.
Grace pursed her rosy lips and nodded slightly:
"Dear, you make sense. I will no longer object to your learning of magic, but you must be safe."
Hamas responded happily:
"Okay, mom!"
At the same time, he secretly laughed in his heart.
To deal with the father of a wizard, naturally, using the wizard's means, a successful casting of spells was enough to make Christopher support him desperately.
In the wizard world, which wizard does not want to be a famous figure like Dumbledore? Christopher himself has no ability, but this does not prevent him from pinning his hopes on his son.
And fear is the best way to deal with an ordinary mother.
For thousands of years, religion has used human inner fear to scare civilians and achieve the purpose of missionary preaching.
This time, Hamas tried it a little and found that this trick was really very useful.
"But." Grace said calmly at her excited eldest son, "You must go to elementary school before you turn 11 to enter the magic school."
Hames protested:
"No, mom, the knowledge taught in elementary school is too simple. For me, going to elementary school is a waste of time.
"I can study at home, not only can I learn more efficiently, but I can also learn more knowledge!"
The appearance of this body is just a child over 4 years old, but the soul is the soul of an adult. It is crowded with a bunch of kids in the classroom to learn the simplest basic knowledge, which is simply a terrible torture.
Grace smiled and rejected her son's request:
“Dear, Scottish law requires that every minor must receive education, so you must go to elementary school.
“In addition, schools are not just learning occasions, but social occasions.
"Humans are social animals, so you need to make new partners and make new friends. It is difficult for people living alone to develop a healthy personality. I don't want my baby to become a lonely freak."
Hamas continues to protest:
"Aristotle's words are just targeting ordinary people, I'm not an ordinary person!"
Grace raised her eyebrows:
"Oh, you know Aristotle? Well, it seems you know more than I expected."
Hamas raised his chest and said proudly:
"Of course! I also know 'either vulgar or lonely'!
"Mom, please believe me, self-study is the most suitable method for me."
Grace sneered, ruthlessly suppressing his fantasy:
"I heard that people who like philosophy often have no friends. I think it is more necessary to send you to school, at least you can look at less philosophy.
"Of course, if you are still willing to be lonely when you become an adult, it is your own business, but before that, you have to go to elementary school!"
Hamas couldn't help but reach out to cover his face:
"This is tyranny!"
At this time, Quincy, the little guy in the stroller, seemed to have seen something interesting and laughed happily:
"Hehe!"
Chapter completed!
