Chapter 3 The University Bully System Appears (Modified, Typos Have Been Corrected)
When he came to Old Tom's store, Owen Harris greeted Tom warmly: "Tom, business is booming! Please bring me a glass of fish-flavored green beer, and the children each have a glass of pumpkin juice."
"Okay, Owen, please wait." Old Tom bowed, as if thanking the guest for coming - and then Allen discovered that the man was very old, with almost stripped hair, no teeth, wrinkled face, and long hair. The hotel owner who looks like a flattened walnut actually has a lumpy back.
"It's really dedicated." Allen still has a good impression of Old Tom, and then he has a little more admiration after seeing the other party flick his fingers and light the fireplace without a stick for their group of guests-even if these are even official spells It's not a small magic, but it's not easy to cast it so easily and freely without using a wand.
"Owen, Owen Harris..." The passionate call came from the right back of the window.
"Arthur, nice to meet you!" Owen changed his disdain for the Weasleys when he was at home, and embraced Arthur Weasley warmly, just like embracing a long-lost brother.
"It's rare to have time to get together, why don't we have a drink or two." Owen felt that he had found an opportunity, and Arthur would definitely be willing to accept the matter of dealing with Muggle magic items.
"Okay." Arthur Weasley agreed without hesitation after looking at his wife Molly, who was chatting happily with Morgan LeFay Harris, "Ron can play with this young man in your family, pay attention Don't run far."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with red hair and freckles on both sides of his nose came out behind him, and looked at Alan with some anxiety.
"This is a rare opportunity to travel freely." Allen patted the gold gallon in his bag unconsciously, and then took the initiative to go forward and introduce himself to the red-haired boy.
Ron was a great talker, and he seemed to have rarely seen such a cooperative audience - in fact, he was the least appreciated of the Weasley children.
As an excellent teacher, Alan is very good at listening, not to mention Alan learned a lot of interesting information during the conversation.
After listening to Ron talking about his family, Allen couldn't help thinking: "Speaking of which, the surname Weasley itself is derived from the weasel, which is a variant of the word weasel. This animal has a bad reputation in many countries. , including the United Kingdom, the hair of this animal is reddish-blond, and Ron's father's name is Arthur, and the patron saint of his Patronus Charm is a weasel.
Arthur's name is the same as King Arthur, and one of the main opponents of King Arthur in history was a Roman politician named Lucius Tiberius, Percy Weasley, a son of Arthur Weasley Percy is the abbreviation of Percival, which is the name of one of the Knights of the Round Table, and the name of Arthur's daughter Ginny is a nickname, and her complete writing should be Ginnifera, and Ginnifera is the name of King Arthur's wife Gui Variation of Nevier - so the daughter is the lover of the father's previous life? "
Allen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Under the quiet encouragement and clichés, Allen matched the memories that did not belong to him bit by bit, and integrated the common sense about the magic world left by his predecessor.
"Alan, look, it's so lively over there!" Ron, who was talking about the Quidditch Chudley Cannons, suddenly changed the subject.
Allen followed Ron's gaze, and saw a group of people crowded next to the Quidditch boutique, cheering and applauding one after another.
Ron immediately stopped entering the Quidditch boutique, and instead pulled Allen into the crowd.
"Wow, the kid from the Malfoy family is great. He has already received five Medals of Honor, which can be exchanged for an autographed poster of Aidan Lynch." A voice of envy and hatred rang in my ears, and there are many such voices .
"Who's Aidan Lynch?" Allen asked Ron.
"He was the Seeker for the Irish team and turned the tide in the recent Quidditch match,
A win for Ireland! "
Ron Howe did not hide his fanatical admiration for Lin Qi, and looked at the poster with fiery eyes.
"Ha, Alan, why don't we participate too? We can definitely surpass the children of the Malfoy family!" Ron obviously only thought of the beautiful result directly, but he didn't start to realize the difficulty of the process of achieving this goal.
"The poor ghost of the Weasley family? If you want to surpass me, try if you have the ability!" Draco Malfoy looked up and down Ron and Allen, all expressions and body language expressed disdain.
Ron felt that these so-called "true pure-bloods" had the ability to make you uncomfortable with their eyes without too much words, and let him understand his own poverty and his own humbleness—even if their family In fact, it also belongs to one of the twenty-eight sacred clans.
Malfoy's platinum-blond hair glistened in the sun, but his cute face was spoiled by his raised eyebrows, which looked too condescending and obnoxious.
"We will definitely surpass you! Alan, let's answer the question." Ron shook his fist at Malfoy.
Malfoy squinted his eyes and looked at Allen. This was a boy with light blond hair like him. Compared with the Weasley next to him, he looked and dressed a lot more than the temperament that a pure-blood wizard should have, as if his grandmother was still his mother. His distant cousin? If it is not mixed with the traitor Weasley family, it is more suitable to be his follower than Goyle and Crabbe: "My name is Draco, from the ancient Malfoy family. Your name is Alan? This hair is Harris A child of the family? If you can answer three questions correctly, I allow you to follow me as a friend."
"What a proud boy!" Allen thought to himself, as a head teacher who had been teaching for seven years, Allen was too aware of the true desires deep in the hearts of these boys.
The boy in front of him, the plot in his memory is because of his annoying speech and arrogant attitude that made him and Harry Potter feud before the start of school. His original purpose was just to get along with Harry Potter Just be friends.
But when it comes to answering questions, Allen really has no confidence. After all, he, an outsider, has only read the original book and some related materials. Although he knows the key nodes of the plot, he really doesn't understand the knowledge system of this world.
Ron had already pulled Allen to line up. Allen came back to his senses and carefully observed the answers of the players in front of him.
At present, there are no more than four questions answered correctly.
Ron was already stunned: "Alan, it's too bad, it's going to be embarrassing, I don't know a single question, how about you?"
On the contrary, Alan's heart has been half relieved.
These are just brain teasers and logical guessing puzzles. It seems that they are using the knowledge blind spots of wizards to make them unable to answer the questions. As a math teacher, his hobby is to play Sudoku for a while or do some logic puzzles.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Alan patted Ron with increased confidence and comforted him.
Soon the line was filled with Alan and Ron.
The Quidditch clerk waved his wand, and saw the title quickly displayed on the ten-inch long and wide parchment: five silver Sickles of the same size. How should two-phase contacts be placed?
"Merlin's underpants! I've never touched a silver Sickle!" Ron put his hands in his hair in despair and pulled it down tightly.
"This has nothing to do with whether you have silver or not. Don't worry, I can solve it." Allen's confident appearance successfully stopped Ron from turning himself into extremely smart hands.
"Put one silver Sickle on the bottom, then put the second and third on top of the first, and put the fourth and fifth upright on top of the first."
As Allen spoke, he took out a silver Sickle to demonstrate.
No one could solve a puzzle so quickly, not even Malfoy. Unless the contestant has seen the solution to this problem in advance, but this little wizard is obviously not at the age where he can go shopping by himself.
I accepted the six-pointed star-shaped medal of honor handed over by the clerk, and at the same time received a lot of admiring eyes.
"The second question also has to do with coins."
The clerk seemed to be optimistic about Alan and winked at Alan.
"The next topic can only be one person, who will come?"
Ron looked at Allen eagerly, which made Allen feel that he should do his part and be duty-bound.
"Let me do it!" Allen looked at the clerk.
"Please close your eyes!" The clerk covered Alan's eyes with a thick red cloth.
Afterwards, the clerk took out a bunch of copper narts and put them on the table, waved his wand, and said: "Here are twenty-three copper narths lying flat on the table, and ten of them are face up. Please use The best way is to divide these copper nats into two piles, and the number of copper nats facing up in each pile needs to be the same."
"It's too difficult. The front and back of Copper Nat feel almost the same. You can't touch it if you can't see it!"
"This may require the use of prophecy, even if you don't open your eyes, you can see it."
"Even if divination can be useful, but now you have to cover your eyes. You can't see crystal balls or tea leaves."
"It's over, Alan said before that he can't spell!" Ron looked at Alan worriedly, and then realized that he couldn't either...
Unaffected by the onlookers at all, Allen calmly selected thirteen copper and sodium coins and put them on one side without changing their direction. He chose ten more and placed them on the other side without changing their directions. Copper Nats all flipped over.
"Exactly, it's really amazing considering your age. Are you from a mixed-race family? The few Ravenclaw pure-blood wizards who answered correctly before were not so fast, you know... oh, you may not know now Those smart people are better at philosophical questions than this kind of Muggle math problems." The clerk was obviously surprised that such a young child could have such an ability, and he swiftly removed the red cloth covering Alan's eyes , "Those Muggle-born wizards seem to be better at these little games."
"I'm a pure-blood, and I just read a few Muggle books." Allen said casually, and then continued to answer the questions. As expected, he solved these questions in a smooth manner. Very difficult subject.
The clerk handed Alan the poster of Aidan Lynch.
Allen, who hadn't changed from Muggle thinking, noticed that this was not an ordinary poster, it was moving.
A man with a physique like a bodybuilder, sitting on a broomstick, tore off the clothes on his chest, screaming "RUA!!!" to celebrate the victory.
But apart from the surprise at the beginning, Allen didn't think it was surprising. After all, the world he lived in in his previous life could save much longer images than this, so he handed the poster to Ron casually.
Ron's ears were red, and Weasley's tutor made him feel that he shouldn't accept this kind of game reward for which he didn't make any contribution, but he really couldn't stand the temptation of the poster of his favorite Seeker player.
"I'll stick him on my bedside, thank you Alan!" Ron stammered his thanks, pressed the poster tightly to his chest, and planned to spend some time saving some pocket money to do the same for the other party. some compensation.
"Don't do it." Allen glanced at Aidan Linzi who was screaming on Ron's chest, "Even if there is no sound, this momentum probably can make you unable to sleep at night..."
"Do you still need to continue to challenge?"
The clerk was friendly, and he also enjoyed the feeling that Allen's super fast speed would torture the crowd to pieces. This speed of answering questions made the wizards doubt their lives, even if they were born as Muggles, but British mathematics education made these people There was also the question of "whether I was born without a brain".
"Of course. You have seen my friend's performance, he must be able to do it!" Ron has become Aaron's fanboy, although he usually doesn't like this kind of omniscient nerd, which reminds him Unfavorable older brother Percy Weasley.
"Okay." The clerk waved his wand excitedly, not giving Allen a chance to refuse. He also looks forward to how far Allen can go.
"What is the spell of the Levitating Curse?" It is really difficult for children, because apart from previewing the textbooks of the spell class in advance, it is necessary to go to a magic school to really get in touch with the spell. "
"Wingardim Leviosa." This just happened to be hard for Allen. Having read the original book and the movie, he has a deep impression on this scene. In fact, every time he reads this passage, he can't help but follow the know-it-all Ms. Read it once...
But at the same time, he also felt that his challenge might be over soon, after all, the spells he remembered were really limited.
"Ding——the university bully system is at your service." Just as Allen accepted the reality that he might fail in the challenge, an ethereal and somewhat trance-like female voice sounded out of thin air in his mind.
