Chapter 148 Muggles and Wizards
When Lei Ke stood up and wanted to leave, Xing Ze opened the notebook and tore off a page and said: "There is one more thing. I drew the tattoo on the arm of the invisible wizard who attacked me. It may be a little different from the actual one, but that's all I can remember."
Lei Ke took the paper and looked at it, and asked uncertainly: "Is it a runic letter?"
"I don't know, show it to Edwin, maybe she can interpret something."
"Okay. But, friend, who sent the assassin, you already have the answer in your mind, right?"
"Not sure yet, just a guess."
Lei Ke drank the wine in the glass, "My friend, be careful. If you ask me, you've taken too big a step, and many people are eager to take your life now."
"Then make sure I don't lose, Mr. Poet, don't waste your time on girls, I don't want you to sing a dirge in front of my tombstone."
"You are wrong, my friend. Men always ignore women when chatting because they subconsciously think women are stupid.
"So, women know a lot of things. And if they do you a little favor or if you can perform well in bed, they will be happy to share some things with you. "
"Then I have to pray to Merlin that you will never fall down?"
"Oh, thank you, my friend. Now I have to go, you know, I have to fulfill my promise. "
...
The next day, Xing Ze finished his Hogwarts courses and took time to help Ben correct the pile of papers. Poor Ben was almost driven crazy.
Professor Bubbaji asked him to talk to the students who failed as soon as possible, because the make-up exam was scheduled for mid-February, and there was not much time left for those students.
So, Xing Ze used the lunch break to find the two students on the list who were most likely to be persuaded. The place for the conversation was in his room, which was also his private office.
The first one was called Rom, a third-year student. Xing Ze still remembered that he said in class that his father was a policeman, which led to a group of pure bloods laughing.
"Sit down, Rom." Xing Ze said, "I think you know why I called you here. "
Rom sat down on the sofa, he looked a little nervous, his back straight, "I know, sir, I... I didn't pass the exam."
"Very good, then I'll be frank." Xing Ze said straight to the point, "There will be a make-up exam in the middle of next month, I hope you can review well and try to pass it."
"I... I will, sir." Rom lowered his head and replied.
Xing Ze noticed that something was wrong with the other party, "Rom, I think you are hiding something from me."
"No, sir, nothing. I... I also took the time to review."
"No, wait. I haven't finished yet." Xing Ze waved his hand and motioned Rom to sit down, "I have seen your daily homework, it's very good. But your test scores are so bad.
"This is really surprising, isn't it? So, I came to two conclusions. Either you are copying other people's homework on weekdays. Or you deliberately gave up this exam.
"But no matter which one, the nature is very bad. If necessary, I will inform your dean, Professor McGonagall. "
The boy's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed, "No, sir, I didn't."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I...I...neither of them is right. I was sick on the day of the exam, that's all."
"I'll believe you for now. Then I have reason to believe that you will pass the make-up exam. After all, such a coincidence rarely happens a second time."
"Of course, sir." Rom nodded quickly, "I'll try my best."
What is he hiding? Xing Ze couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
After sending Rom away, he called the second student, Pallavi, a third-year student.
This female student is from Slytherin. Although she doesn't have a big family to rely on, she has not been affected by pure-blood supremacy in terms of her classroom performance and homework.
On the contrary, she is considered a top student in the Muggle Studies class, and her grades are close to those of Cedric, who ranks first.
"Let me be frank, Mr. Xing Ze." She walked into the room and didn't sit down, but put her hands on her hips and said directly, "I can't pass the make-up exam. "
Xing Ze looked at the girl with a puzzled look, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
"To be exact, I can't pass. My father and mother are both pure bloodists. If they knew what I had achieved in this course, they would definitely skin me alive.
"They agreed to let me take this course because they wanted me to learn about so-called Muggles. So, I'm sorry, sir, I may not take your class this semester."
"I respect your choice, Pallavi. But there is one thing, I have seen your information, you are from New Ravenscar."
The girl leaned her body against the cabinet, "Yes, a native of Ravenscar, our family is one of the first families to settle in Ravenscar."
"But as far as I know, that town is a mixture of Muggles and wizards."
"Ah, I understand what you mean, sir. As you taught us before, there will be outliers everywhere. Before being destroyed by war, Ravenscar Village was no different from other wizard settlements.
"In the post-war reconstruction, in order to ensure the necessary population and sufficient labor, the administrators allowed Squibs and some mixed-blood wizard families to move in.
"After that, the policy was relaxed again. As long as there was a wizard in the family, they could live in New Ravenscar Village. Of course, this policy was strongly opposed by those pure-bloods at the time.
"But those pure-bloods without real power could only talk big, although they did a lot of things later, such as blowing up Muggle houses and using magic to prevent Muggles from entering.
"But after the authorities intervened, they became more honest. My great-grandfather participated in the anti-Muggle action at that time. As for the ending, let's not talk about it."
Xing Ze opened his notes and recorded some important information one by one: "You mean, New Ravenscar Village is just a happy place on the surface? But behind the scenes, wizards and Muggles are constantly rubbing against each other, and no one looks down on each other."
Pallavi stood up straight and shifted his focus to the other side, "That's why the conflict between Muggles and wizards is getting more and more serious.
"Many wizards will pick on those poor homeless people. I have many Muggle friends who have suffered from this privately, and the managers also turn a blind eye to it.
"Fortunately, there are not too many wizards. They can no longer shake the Muggle forces in Ravenscar, so they won't go too far.
"I sympathize with the innocent victims, but I oppose those radicals. Many Muggles are also hurting innocent wizards. It's like a dead circle, and no one can solve this loop."
It seems that Ravenscar Village is more complicated than I thought. Xing Ze sighed in his heart.
