Chapter 916 Muggle Studies Class(2/2)
Umbridge looked around the class, took a deep breath, and spoke softly in a sweet voice.
A trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she did not continue to speak. She opened her notebook tremblingly and started writing on it.
As the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, she had seen too many such stupid young wizards. Umbridge knew very well that when faced with such young wizards who were not afraid of tigers, they must not confront them head-on. They were stubborn and did not care about authority.
As Umbridge took the initiative to surrender, the devil's whisper lingering in Quirrell's ears finally stopped.
"Very good, continue with the class, Professor Quirrell..."
Elena raised the corners of her mouth, and gently picked up the wand hidden under her skirt, dispelling the magic.
I have to admit that this magical version of "one-way sound transmission" improved by the first generation Dark Lord is indeed quite clever. In the absence of corresponding countermeasures or eavesdropping magic, this magic is very suitable for announcing "Elena's mission"
"Yes.
"So, now let's go back to the textbook. I said before that there are two main ways for Muggles to imitate magic."
Quirinus Quirrell lowered his head, looked at "Her Majesty the Queen's" revised lesson plan, and said softly.
"Can any of you tell me what these two methods are? And which 'scientific' approach do you think is used for the four means of transportation? Those who answer correctly will receive eight 'Muggle points'
'."
The whole class raised their hands in unison, except Elena, who listened quietly as usual.
"Weasley, oh, Charlie, there's no need to look back, I'm referring to you."
Quirrell said with a smile, skillfully opened his classroom bonus notebook and took out a ballpoint pen.
"The rules are the same as before. If you don't answer correctly, the reward points will be halved. The next person's question will be answered by another person. After five wrong answers, everyone's homework will be increased by 10%, and the person who answered the question will be twice as happy."
"The two main methods of Muggle science are boiling water and throwing stones."
Charlie stood up and answered confidently.
"Ships, trains, and cars, these three should be advanced versions of boiling water. I have seen their chimneys emitting smoke. As for airplanes, this should be an advanced application of Muggles for throwing stones, right? Yes, absolutely.
of."
"Unfortunately, only part of the answer is correct." Professor Quirrell shrugged and happily drew a horizontal line on the blackboard.
"Planes, ships, trains, cars, these four Muggle means of transportation all use the method of 'boiling water'. In short, it is energy conversion. But I am curious why you think the latter two are throwing stones.
?”
"...Eh, isn't it?"
Charlie Weasley scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"I heard my father say that airplanes are like that, they are ejected directly like a slingshot..."
"This only shows that the Muggle experts in the Ministry of Magic may not be completely correct, right? Of course, it is also possible that you confused what Mr. Weasley said. If it is a rocket or missile, it is somewhat close to this description...
"
Quirinus Quirrell said with a smile, casually glancing at the big pink toad huddled in the corner.
He was suddenly curious as to how much this self-proclaimed noble senior investigator could understand.
