Chapter 47 Happy New Year's Day in the first class!
The whole class was amused, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. When the laughter subsided, Xing Ze spoke again: "Cast, let me test you. Tell me how many pounds can be exchanged for one gold galleon."
.”
Castle smiled faintly, stood up and replied: "Five pounds. And, as far as I know, the professors at Hogwarts only have a monthly salary of ninety-five galleons, which is equivalent to four hundred and seventy-five pounds in pounds."
This pitiful amount of money can only be used by the poor in the Muggle world."
For a moment, Xing Ze saw a sense of pride on the girl's face, but soon she returned to her innocent look.
"Very good, Castor. I think you must have seen the Hogwarts recruitment notice." Xing Ze reluctantly agreed, "But you are wrong..."
"How?" Castle interjected in surprise, "That's what Gringotts quoted. Are you trying to say that their price is wrong, sir?"
"Well, who will answer Custer's doubts?" Xing Ze asked the other students with a smile.
Several Slytherin students raised their hands, and Xing Ze saw the iconic white hair there—Draco Malfoy.
"Okay, Malfoy," he called.
Draco Malfoy stood up from his seat and replied in a haughty tone: "One galleons can buy twenty-five pounds."
"That's impossible," Castle argued. "That's what Gringotts gave us when I came to school."
Many students also agreed. When they went to Gringotts to exchange, it was indeed one galleons for five pounds. Everyone was talking about it, and many people even began to question Malfoy. Only a small number of people still insisted.
Malfoy's theory.
"Quiet, everyone." Xing Ze clapped his hands, "Let Malfoy finish."
When the students were almost quiet, Malfoy cleared his throat and said: "Because the school gave you student loans, you half-bloods..."
"Okay, sit down, Malfoy, your answer is very good, one point for Slytherin." Xing Ze promptly interrupted what the pure-blood young master was going to say next.
"Student loan?" Castor frowned, she never thought it would be like this, "But...but..."
"That's it, Castor, please sit down too." Xing Ze explained, "Hogwarts gives students from the Muggle world a loan of one hundred galleons. Within one hundred galleons, you
The rate of five pounds per galleons may be used.”
Most of the students from the Muggle world still looked confused. Xing Ze explained it to them in detail again before they finally understood.
Finally, he added: "But don't spend all the money. After you graduate, you have to return the money to the school. Of course, only the principal is needed."
Generally speaking, the student loan application will be sent together with the admission notice. Such a subsidy can better attract wizard children from Muggle families to attend school, and few people will refuse such a subsidy.
"Look, this is the reason why we need to take Muggle Studies courses."
…
Xing Ze's first class went quite smoothly. He didn't expect that Draco Malfoy, a member of a pure-blood family, would come to this class, nor did he expect that Harry and Ron would come. This was a big departure.
The original work.
But what surprised him the most was the blonde girl - Lena Custer. She seemed to know a lot about Muggle life, and she asked a lot of sharp questions afterwards, probably because she wanted to regain her face.
.
Xing Ze shouldn't have such thoughts, after all, an eleven-year-old girl would not be so mature, but he always felt that this child was a bit aggressive.
On the way back, he met Cedric. To be precise, Cedric was waiting for him.
"Sir, have you read the school newspaper?" he asked excitedly.
"Of course, Unsung Heroes, I think the title is not lazy."
Cedric was so proud of the compliment that he didn't seem to notice that it was an irony.
Xing Ze pressed his forehead and pulled Cedric aside, "Listen, kid, don't bother promoting my deeds."
"Why?" Cedric's face was full of questions, "Is my writing too bad, sir?"
"No, no, that's not the problem." Xing Ze took a breath, thinking about how to explain.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Why didn't the newspapers report my deeds? Why didn't the Ministry of Magic mention me? Why didn't Dumbledore, who has always been upright, thank me? Tell me, Prefect, why is this?"
"This..." Cedric frowned, and Xing Ze's series of questions confused him.
"Think carefully, the newspapers may forget about me, and the Ministry of Magic may not want to see me. But Dumbledore, he should know, I bet you have gone to him about this matter."
The young prefect nodded. He finally found a question that he could answer. "Patsy, I, and several other prefects who were on the train went to see the principal. If necessary, we will go back."
.”
Spare me! Xing Ze shouted in his heart. At this moment, he wanted to take out his wand and cast a sobering spell on this hot-headed prefect.
"No, no, no, Cedric, focus on the previous question."
After a period of silence, Cedric seemed to understand something. He raised his head and said uncertainly: "Because you don't want people to know your existence."
Xing Ze nodded happily. He was worthy of being the person who unlocked the secret of the golden egg. He had never doubted Cedric's IQ, maybe he had just a little.
"So, why would I not want people to know that I exist."
"Because...because you have an ulterior secret, no, no," the prefect waved his hand, then looked surprised, "Are you helping to investigate the train incident? So that's true, I heard my father talk about it.
, the Auror Office is organizing manpower to secretly investigate the train incident."
"Your father? Oh, I remember your father is from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic."
Cedric nodded, "Yes, he has a few friends in the Auror office. They talked about it when they were drinking, but they are not sure, you know, sir, this kind of confidentiality. Um, are you really here?
investigation……"
"Stop asking, Cedric." Xing Ze interrupted pretending to be mysterious, "You already told me, it's confidential."
"Oh, right." The young prefect lowered his head. He began to realize that he had done something wrong with his good intentions. "Did this affect your investigation?"
"Not yet, kid, but don't go on. It's not going to do me any good. Heroes tend to have light and darkness shuns them."
"But it didn't really disappear. Instead, it was hidden deeper." Cedric continued.
