Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

"But it doesn't seem to be called the Ministry of Magic. Uh... I don't know how to translate it."

Andy quickly asked, "What's the situation in the magic world over there? Is it the same as here?"

Zhang Qiu explained: "The Chinese magic world is very different from ours. They also have magic schools, but they were only established in the last few decades."

"In ancient times, the Chinese magic world was passed down in the form of sects, and they did not recruit students from the Muggle world."

Andy nodded. This was pretty much what Andy had thought before.

There are huge cultural differences between the East and the West.

And according to the information Andy has, the magic world in China had been hidden thousands of years ago, and there was no such thing as "school" at that time.

"Qiu, have you ever seen them perform magic?" Andy asked curiously.

"Yeah! I've seen it once."

Zhang Qiu said: "But they don't use wands to cast spells. Instead, they use a kind of wooden sword. Although the shape is slightly different, I think it should be no different from a magic wand."

Peach wood sword?

Perhaps the mahogany sword is just one of them, after all, that is just a Muggle term.

Afterwards, Zhang Qiu told her various experiences in the Chinese magic world. Andy thought that it would be great if it was made into a movie.

In ancient times, the Chinese magic world had always been passed down in the form of sects. After being integrated with the international community, the Chinese magic world also made a lot of reforms, established several magic schools, and began to recruit students from the Muggle world.

Unlike the British wizarding world which only has two shopping streets, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, there are many wizards in China, so there are wizard gathering places in many major cities in China.

"The Chinese country attaches great importance to the inheritance of magical knowledge. I can only buy the most basic magic books in the bookstore." Zhang Qiu still felt a little regretful when he said this.

"correct!"

Zhang Qiu suddenly asked, "The books I bought this time are all in Chinese. How is your Chinese learning going?"

Do I need to learn this?

Do you know your mother tongue?

"You're doing well." Andy said with a smile.

Zhang Qiu was incredulous. "Chinese is difficult, especially these magic books. Even my parents can't understand what's written on them."

Andy raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Could it be... written in classical Chinese?

Andy thought of several Taoist scriptures he had read on the Internet in his previous life. He knew every word in them, but had no idea what they meant when they were put together.

wow-

The door of the carriage was opened.

"Hi! Andy, Qiu, how are you guys?"

Hermione walked into the carriage, "You're here so early!"

As she spoke, Hermione drew out her wand.

"Wingardim, Leviosa!"

After putting the suitcase away, Hermione looked around, then sat down next to Andy with an expressionless look, as if it was very natural.

Zhang Qiu couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle when he saw this.

But she soon stopped laughing.

"Qiu, have you found the magic world of China? What's it like there? Is it very different from ours?"

Hermione asked several questions in a row like a machine gun, "Have you ever seen Chinese magic? I checked it out during the holidays. The culture in China is very different from ours..."

Zhang Qiu felt a little overwhelmed by the questioning.

She was about to answer when she suddenly thought of Cedric.

Would he have to ask her again after Cedric came over?

"Let's wait until Cedric comes over and then talk about it together." Zhang Qiu said with a headache.

"Let me tell you!"

Andy happily accepted the task. "The Chinese are different from us. They are based on sects..."

As the topic opened up, Zhang Qiu would add a few words from time to time.

In general, the situation in China's magic world is similar to what Andy thought. After integrating with the international community, they have also made a number of reform measures.

"Andy, what do you think about traveling to China after we graduate?"

Hermione said with some anticipation: "It's an ancient country, it should hide a lot of secrets, right?"

"Okay!" To be honest, Andy also wanted to go back and take a look, but that would have to wait until after graduation.

"correct!"

Zhang Qiu suddenly said, "I put the books I bought for you in your suitcase. I'll give them to you when we get to Hogwarts!"

"Thank you!" Andy said gratefully.

wow-

As he was speaking, Cedric suddenly opened the door of the carriage.

Glancing at the seats in the carriage, Cedric gave Andy a 'well done' look.

Andy and Hermione are sitting together, so can't he sit with Zhang Qiu?

then……

"Qiu, have you found the magic world of China?" Cedric asked excitedly.

He did a lot of homework this summer.

Zhang Qiu: "..."

Zhang Qiu had no choice but to tell the story again. However, she only knew the general situation, and it was just that much.

"Qiu, have you ever visited the sects in China?"

Hermione said curiously, "It's hard to imagine that after joining a sect, you have to serve the sect for your whole life."

Cedric guessed, "Are sects similar to schools? Maybe schools in China have their own businesses."

"Just like our headmaster, Professor Sprout, who is in charge of the herb growing room at Hogwarts, if the scale is expanded, it will also bring benefits to the school."

Hermione nodded. "If that's the case, Professor Snape can also bring a lot of benefits to the school."

Cedric said, "If the students of the Chinese sect can be responsible for the sect's business after graduation, it seems like a good idea if you think about it carefully."

Hermione thought about the pattern carefully, then nodded in agreement.

Wuwuwu——

The train is starting to move.

Andy leaned back in his chair, looking at the scenery receding outside the window, and occasionally chatting with Hermione and the other two.

Everyone is very interested in China's magic world.

It’s a pity that Zhang Qiu doesn’t know much information.

After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and her family would not let her go out alone. Unless her parents had time, it would be difficult for Zhang Qiu to get in touch with the magic world in China.

"What is that?" Andy suddenly exclaimed.

Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Cedric looked over at the same time.

Outside the car window, a green car was flying in the sky, and a few excited shouts could be faintly heard from inside the car.

Chapter 153: The Background of a Pure-Blood Family

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Accompanied by a burst of panicked shouts, the car staggered and crashed straight into the train.

boom!

There was a violent shake, and the passenger door of the car burst open, and Harry fell out.

At the critical moment, Harry grabbed the handle of the car door, hanging in the air, barely preventing himself from falling.

In the driver's seat, Ron's face was full of horror. He held the steering wheel tightly with one hand and reached out with the other hand to grab Harry.

But the car kept shaking, and Ron's hands and Harry's hands were misaligned several times. Not to mention pulling Harry up, the car was about to crash into the train.

"It's Harry and Ron!!"

Hermione exclaimed, "They're about to hit us, we have to help them."

That being said.

But...how to help?

Zhang Qiu had already closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to watch the tragic scene that was about to happen.

Andy and Cedric drew their wands at the same time. Even if they were useless, holding them in their hands was a little comforting.

At the critical moment, the car's lights suddenly lit up, and it seemed to have its own ideas at this moment. After the car body trembled for a while, it suddenly stabilized its shape and flew directly up along the roof of the train.

"It seems to be okay." Andy said.

Because of the viewing angle, the car could no longer be seen from inside the car, but Andy finally saw that the car seemed to have stabilized.

"Is that the Weasleys' car?"

Recalling that Andy had mentioned Mr. Weasley's magic-modified car when they were visiting the amusement park, Hermione said angrily, "Magically modifying Muggle items is simply irresponsible for life safety!"

"This is just ridiculous!"

Andy shrugged helplessly when he heard that.

When nothing goes wrong, everything is fine. But when something does go wrong, everything you do is wrong.

The result-oriented approach may not be correct, but in most cases, what we want is a result.

"Harry and Ron...didn't they both catch the train?" Zhang Qiu asked curiously.

Hermione glanced at Andy and Cedric when she heard that.

If memory serves me correctly, Andy and Cedric were both Ron's neighbors.

"I don't know." Cedric was clueless.

Andy spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Was it Dobby's doing? Andy wondered.

Dobby had tried to stop Harry from returning to Hogwarts before, and if he hadn't given up yet, maybe this time he had done it.

Seeing that Hermione was angry and worried, Andy comforted her, "Don't worry, we can't help at all. Now we can only pray that the car can last until Hogwarts."

Cedric said: "The person who modified that car is an expert. The car should have a certain level of thinking."

"Has thinking ability?"

Andy thought about the state of the car, which seemed to have a certain degree of self-awareness. "Great!"

Is Arthur Weasley that powerful?

Andy was a little surprised.

Giving inanimate objects a certain level of self-awareness is already in the realm of alchemy.

Andy thought again of the joke products made by the Weasley twins.

A pure-blood family...

Even though it has declined, its foundation is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary wizard family.

Andy was a little envious.

The Collins family has only been in the wizarding world for a few hundred years. Although they have accumulated a lot of magic books, they are still no match for those wizarding families that have been passed down for thousands of years.

But it's okay.

Since the trend in the wizarding world has always been that gold Galleons are more important than magic, those pure-blood families do not pay much attention to their own collections of books.
