I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 403
c398 The current situation in London, eerie quiet
Following Ian’s question, a voice came from under the podium.
“Second grade, hair erecting agent!”
The speaker was a Ravenclaw girl. After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel something was wrong, and added, “Should we call you Professor Titus?”
Faced with such a question, Ian said without thinking: “Of course! But it’s only for this class. After class, I still want you to call me Ian.”
In fact, this is what is called a sense of boundary.
Ian’s idea is, regardless of whether it is a class or half a class, there must be the proper order.
You can do whatever you want after class, but during class, the professor is the professor, there is no doubt about that.
“Okay, Professor Titus!” The Ravenclaw girl shrugged indifferently, and then asked with inquiring eyes: “I answered the question, won’t you give me extra points?”
Hearing such a frank question, Ian was a little dazed, but he quickly came to his senses and said, “You’re right! Two points for Ravenclaw.”
Looking at the happy little wizard, he sincerely felt that it was better to be a child, especially those under the third grade, who were well-behaved and didn’t cause much trouble.
‘Hair-Raising-Porion’ Ian casually wrote the name of the hair elevating agent on the blackboard and said:
“This is a magic potion that can make the user’s hair stand up, and one of the main ingredients of this potion is rat tail…”
Ian began to teach according to the script, without looking for new ways or trying to impress others. Everything was in order.
A big class, no matter how long it took, came to an end in a daze.
I glanced at the students below who were concentrating on brewing the potion. When several people in a row successfully prepared the hair erecting potion, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
“Okay! Stop for a moment.” Ian clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention.
“It’s almost time. I’m assigning homework for this class now. The topic is the difficulty in the process of brewing the hair erecting potion. The five-inch content should be handed in before the next potion class.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the classroom. After all, Snape had something serious waiting for him.
Not two seconds after he left, Ian turned back, stuck his head into the classroom, and said to the astonished eyes of all the little wizards:
“Oh, by the way, I will notify Professor Snape about this assignment, so… you know.”
Ignoring the wailing in the classroom, Ian walked towards the end of the corridor with a brisk look on his face.
The demos, they really almost let them take advantage of the loopholes. You know, the homework of the so-called substitute teacher is not taken seriously at all.
This was what he thought of at the last moment, otherwise, as long as everyone agrees, it will be fooled.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
The city of London is also experiencing a bizarre and absurd scene at this moment.
As one of the top five international metropolises in the world, it covers an area of more than 1,700 square kilometers and has a permanent population of more than 8 million.
This was supposed to be a bustling city, but now it fell into an eerie silence.
Hansen looked blankly at the fast food restaurant in front of him, the closed doors, and the empty streets, although his subconscious told him that these were all normal phenomena.
But for some reason, he always felt weird every time he looked at the rows of empty shops on the street.
“You deserve the economic depression. 90% of the shops on the street are closed. The gentlemen in Downing Street don’t know what they are doing…”
Hansen complained, then shook his head and prepared to go to the supermarket at the end of the street to buy daily necessities. After all, it was always known for its low prices.
In order to repay the bank loan as soon as possible, Hansen does all his shopping there as much as possible.
Likewise, he never thought about why there was only one shop on one street open.
A few minutes later.
In an old small supermarket, there is an old boss and seven or eight shopping customers.
All of this made Hansen find a long-lost sense of familiarity, as if everything in front of him was normal. But the dead streets and closed shops are the real absurdity.
Ignoring the empty shelves, Hansen picked out a few daily necessities and went to the cashier at the front desk. Looking at the elderly store manager, he couldn’t help but complain:
“Berbil, your store is very casual. Take a look at how empty the shelves are. And I remember you said you would buy a batch of stale beef on special price in the next two days…”
Regarding this kind of doubt, the store manager seemed to be used to it, and said without thinking: “I guess you will have to wait for a few days. Don’t talk about me now, even some medium-sized supermarkets don’t sell beef.”
“Hey! It’s strange, am I living in World War II? Since when did people in London, Great Britain, have to wait in line to eat a piece of beef…” This is a common complaint.
However, as soon as Hansen finished speaking, not only himself, but also the elderly boss opposite fell into a strange silence, and time seemed to have stopped.
a long time.
Hansen was the first to break the silence, “Hurry up and count the money. I’ve been standing here for five minutes. Don’t you know that time is money? It’s wasting my time…”
The old boss was not annoyed either. After grinning, he quickly started to pay.
As for the brief shock and complaint between the two of them just now, it seemed as if nothing happened from beginning to end.
Someone once said that if you want to see a city in miniature, observe a street with your heart. The previous communication between Hansen and his boss was a microcosm of London.
Coincidentally, similar things are happening in the same form throughout the British Isles and even the entire world.
Different from the good intentions of The Truman World, the 2 billion Muggles left outside the eco-city are concentrated in some large cities, not only for the convenience of management.
More importantly, we hope to record all image data intuitively when a fungus breaks out.
This scene is the same as Ian’s Potions class this morning, using Snape as a threat, but at the same time using jokes and bonus points to bring them closer together.
The powerful people use the ecological city’s materials as bargaining chips, and use pictures of fungus outbreaks as threats. They slap each other with sweet dates. Under the circumstances, even if there are any objections, they will not achieve anything.
Of course, all this must be put on a gorgeous coat before it is implemented. For the majority, for more people… righteousness, nothing else.
At this moment, Hansen also walked out of the old small supermarket, carrying a few cheap daily necessities in his hands. Faced with a high bank loan, he had to be careful about all his consumption.
He is obviously only in his thirties, but from the back, he looks like an old man over fifty.
…
Hogwarts.
“Bang! Bang bang!”
Ian knocked on the door of Snape’s office.
However, before he could react, he was frightened by a face so close to him.
“How did you do it?” Snape asked.
Although his tone was still calm, both his behavior and his demeanor fully showed that Snape was not calm in his heart.
