Chapter 299 Final Examination Questions

School started the next day. The weather didn't get any better. It has been cloudy outside the window since morning. A gloomy, gray sky hung over the bare Forbidden Forest.

When Anthony walked into the classroom, a gust of wind whizzed past with dead leaves, shaking the classroom windows. Even though the fireplace was lit, the room still felt cold from the lack of people.

Cedric was sitting on his seat, holding an old Roger's snake with yellow and black stripes in his hand.

"Hufflepuff colours," Roger said in a tone that sounded like something from the Weasley twins, "how could you resist such a beautiful palette?"

Cedric said: "Because I'm not a Hornets supporter?"

"Really?" Roger immediately asked with interest, "Which team do you support?"

Cedric shrugged, "The Tornadoes and the Arrows."

"Well, no wonder." Roger said, turning to other students, "Do you want the Hufflepuff color ones? These are the last few second-generation old snakes, on sale at half price. When the third generation comes out... …”

"Mr. Filch has just finished updating his list of prohibited items in the castle." Anthony said, lowered his head and rummaged in his bag for a while, took out the coconut sorbet and put it on the podium, "Good morning."

"Good morning, Professor Anthony." Cedric said, returning Roger's old snake in his hand to Roger. Roger's roommate, Emery Sheen, silently put it into his backpack and continued to look at Anthony with a flat expression.

Anthony watched the tip of the tail disappear into the mouth of the backpack: "I hope you all had a pleasant holiday?"

"Oh, yes." A bright smile appeared on Cedric's face, "My parents and I went to visit an aunt who lived in Meriones County. She dug holes very quickly, and before we went In two days, she dug a cellar for us that could accommodate three people. Before leaving, we dug the soil with her and filled it up again. "

"That must be interesting," Anthony said. "Have you moved the furniture out yet?"

"We use magic to conjure temporary furniture," Cedric said.

Anthony smiled: "Of course." He looked at Roger lying on the table beside him, "What about you, Mr. Davis?"

Roger sat up: "Nothing special... Oh, Tracy and I went to the nearby Muggle supermarket."

Anthony asked in surprise: "How about that?"

Roger said: "I forgot to exchange Muggle currency, so I had to use the leftover ones from the last course practice." He thought again, "Muggle supermarkets are big, and the things they sell are different from ours. Their toilet rolls would have prints on them! I wanted to buy them, but Tracy wouldn't agree. "Tracy is my sister," Roger explained to Cedric, "In the end, Tracy and I." Lacey bought a candy cane alone."

More and more students came into the classroom, talking about topics that interested them - Quidditch, Lockhart's new book, the Weird Sisters' tour, the diarrheal owl, Professor Kettleburn, the senior investigator and someone. Rumors of breaking into Azkaban. Anthony tried not to show that he was interested in several of the topics.

Amid the noisy hum, the room gradually warmed.

Roger said: "By the way, they also have a trolley! People put what they want to buy in it and then push it around. It's a bit like the trolley that transports luggage at King's Cross Station."

"If I have the chance, I will definitely go and see it." Cedric said, "What about you, Emery?"

Emery Sheen hesitated: "I stay at home."

Cedric and Roger looked at him speechlessly.

"And eating a lot," Emery said.

Anthony said approvingly over the school bell: "Very good."

…

"It's great to see you back in this classroom in the new year," Anthony said, raising his voice a little.

The last bit of buzz is gone. The students leaned back in their chairs and looked at him.

"In the second half of fourth year, we will continue to discuss the differences between Muggle life and the wizarding world - clothing, food, vocabulary, various electrical appliances, etc. - but beyond that, there is one more thing That's the final exam question."

Anthony paused and saw that everyone began to listen attentively, and some people even opened their notebooks.

"Then go find a Muggle and buy a ticket." Anthony said, clearly seeing the expressions of embarrassment on several students' faces.

He added: "I don't care what kind of tickets they are - bus tickets, cinema tickets, museum tickets, theater tickets, zoo tickets, football tickets - as long as they work, you can pass. Anyone who manages to buy a ticket can Use your ticket and I'll reimburse the cost, so yes, you can use it as another extracurricular practice."

"But, Professor Anthony, what if I can't buy a ticket?" one student asked, "For example, what if I was going to buy a... um, who are the Weird Sisters in the Muggle world?"

"It's okay, I understand." Anthony smiled and said, "If the ticket you want to buy has been sold out, I suggest you change your choice. However, don't worry, if you can't buy a ticket or just can't make up your mind to go Ask the conductor, you can buy tickets from me at the end of the semester.”

"Are you going to pretend to be a conductor?" one student asked, obviously relieved.

Anthony nodded: "Yes. But I must warn you that when selling tickets, I may be able to identify your wizard identity more easily than the ticket sellers who have no contact with the wizarding world. For example, if you are wearing a leather jacket and beach shorts Go buy a ticket for a play - I sincerely hope no one is planning to do this, and will try to remind you - the conductor will probably think that a very rebellious person has come, but I will think that I am standing opposite a person who has not memorized the routine. Hogwarts students wearing melon outfits.”

Judging from the glances the students (thought they thought) secretly exchanged, they didn't take Anthony's threat to heart.

Anthony hated to admit that they were right to be dismissive, but he certainly had no intention of failing any students who were not prepared to talk to the Muggle conductor. He just wanted them to be more willing to take the initiative to deal with Muggles after the practical activities.

"Don't be afraid to talk to Muggles." Anthony said, "I hope we can still remember that the difference between wizards and Muggles is not as big as many people think." He glanced at Eyre sitting in the first row. Murray Sheen, who was also the one who visibly relaxed after he announced there was a second way, said, "Didn't you speak to Ms. Howard at the aid station?"

"But I wasn't talking to Ms. Howard," Emery replied, "I was talking to the dog behind her. She misunderstood."

"What did you say to the dog?" Roger asked.

"Where the water is," Emery said.
