Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 280 Questioning Old Deng

After class that afternoon, Sainz found Harry Potter alone and said he needed to borrow the Marauder's Map to take a look. Harry readily agreed.

During dinner, Sainz got the map, opened it, glanced at it, then immediately closed it and returned it to him.

The trajectory has not shifted, the Moody's that appears to be on the surface is fake.

The next day, Sainz went straight to Dumbledore and said frankly: "Mr. Principal, I heard that Professor Moody's magic eye can see through everything?"

"Are you interested in this?" It seemed that every time he saw Old Deng, he was eating candy, and this time was no exception.

"No, I'm not interested at all. I just think that things like this shouldn't appear on campus!"

"Oh... why do you say that?" Old Deng didn't look like he was pretending to be confused.

Sainz thought, could it be that Sainz was overthinking?

He said very seriously, "That thing can see through things, which is very bad for anyone, especially in school!"

Old Deng also became serious, "I understand what you mean, Sainz, I think you misunderstood! It doesn't have the ability to see through things!"

"I don't think so."

"Sainz, you really misunderstood."

"So the fact that it can see people behind it is just a rumor?"

"Well... not really..."

"If that magic eye can't see through his own head, then please tell me, Professor, how can it see the person behind it?"

"Well... this is a little confusing to explain, but believe me, what you worry about will not happen, Sainz, I can guarantee that."

"That's a bit confusing to explain? ... We have plenty of time, Professor."

"It seems my assurance cannot satisfy you."

"I want to hear a logical answer, not a perfunctory reassurance."

"Sit down and have a cup of tea, Sainz, and don't doubt Moody's integrity. You may not know him, but he is a respectable man."

"You're right, Professor. Perhaps I don't know him well enough, so I came to you instead of going directly to him."

"Saienz, that magic eye helped him a lot. Just as you said, it can help Moody avoid sneak attacks from behind, but it does not have the kind of perspective function that you are worried about.

Don't worry...let me explain...the reason why it can see the scene behind it through its head is simply because it is worn in the eye socket. "

"So, if we wrap Professor Moody with an opaque turban, he will lose his vision behind him?"

"You got the point, that's all."

"So, its perspective is limited to objects that are in direct contact with it?"

"The prerequisite is human beings."

According to Old Dumbledore, Moody's magic eye seems to only work when it is worn in someone's eye socket. It can allow it to ignore the flesh and blood that it is directly in contact with and see the scene behind it, or it can treat the head of the person it is directly in contact with as a glass cover, allowing it to achieve a 360° field of vision inside.

It's probably equivalent to someone having a plain lens in front of his eyes, where his vision can pass through the lens but he cannot see through other things.

Sainz thought about it for a moment and reluctantly accepted the explanation.

"Professor, I believe you..."

"Thank you!"

"…But that doesn't mean I believe him. If I insist on him removing it so I can check it, I'd be too overbearing. But I will continue to pay attention to the situation in this regard. If I find that things are not as you said, professor, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Sainz, I understand that you have such concerns," Old Deng took off his glasses and wiped them, "I am very touched that you are willing to believe me."

After explaining the situation to Old Deng, Sainz stood up and went to look for the tea on the shelf. "Professor, why do you still have these teas?"

"Hmm... maybe it's because I don't need to make tea for anyone?"

He ignored Old Deng's boasting and said, "Well, forget it. I'll put some here for you some other day!"

As for whether Moody's magic eye could see through people, Saiens originally felt that it seemed unlikely. Combined with what Old Deng said, he felt that the explanation about it made sense.

Magic is often very "idealistic". If one only thinks about preventing sneak attacks from behind when making a magic eye, the effect may indeed be that one can only see through one's own head but not other people or objects.

Although this "selective perspective" is actually more complicated than "non-selective perspective" to some extent, this is magic.

…………

With Sainz's help, Hagrid's class finally got on track, and he would appear in class with him when explaining some of the more dangerous magical creatures.

Hagrid might be embarrassed by some tricky students, but Sai would not indulge them when they did something wrong, and the unruly atmosphere in the classroom gradually disappeared.

Maybe not everyone can listen carefully, but at least they can abide by classroom discipline. As for whether the classroom knowledge can be fully mastered, Sai is not anyone's father, he doesn't ask at all and can learn or not.

Time slipped away quietly in this way, and in the blink of an eye it was already the end of October.

As October 30th approached, the professors of Hogwarts suddenly became interested in the campus environment and asked the students to do two general cleanings within a week. Even Sainz, who had relatively little time compared to other faculty and staff, was drafted into the army.

Filch, the administrator, has been very arrogant recently, using chicken feathers as his authority. Whenever there is any stain on the ground, the student closest to it will be severely criticized, and he has taken the opportunity to punish many students.

"Filch, I think our purpose is to keep the school clean, not to find reasons to punish students!"

Filch's face twisted as he said, "I'm the administrator, Assistant Autumn!"

Seeing that he was obviously very annoyed but had to answer calmly, Sainz secretly shook his head in his heart. As I said before, why bother? Why do you have to stay in the magic world? You will only make yourself uncomfortable.

He still remembered that he was running maps when he first met Filch. At that time, Filch asked him what he was doing as soon as they met. But now, several years later, the other party had to suppress his anger and speak to him calmly. The words "Assistant Coach Autumn" pointed out that Sainz had no right to manage him, but was it not self-anesthetization?

When Sainz becomes a professor in the future, others will have to respect him. He feels bad for them just thinking about how that would feel.

"Of course, you are the administrator, and the cleanliness of the campus certainly needs your management, but instead of scolding them here, why not save time and let them go to work?"

"Well, if you two can't clean up this damn sewage within half an hour, I will have to ask you to come to my office!" Filch snorted coldly and turned away. "Also, you are not allowed to use magic. If I find out, you know the consequences!"

"Thank you, Assistant Coach Sai...Autumn!" said Harry.
