Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Facing the angry Draco, Toby said without hesitation: "Because I took the initiative to ask you to speak, I will not deduct Slytherin's house points because of your bad attitude. But the interesting part is

, I originally thought that the Longbottom family would be the one to raise objections——"

He looked at Neville who was startled.

"Or maybe the Weasley family."

He looked at the stunned Ron again.

"Other Slytherin families are also fine."

He glanced at the Slytherin students.

"But I didn't expect that the Malfoy family would protest first. I dare say that I have too much evidence to prove that you are a mixed-blood family, but you won't understand these words. I don't mind finding someone

Chance to talk to Lucius personally, yes, I know your father, Draco. He was many years above me in school, but I knew him, and he finally got to know me after graduation, even

It’s ridiculous that he regarded me as a threat to his status. Speaking more carefully, his status at the time was also very delicate. He——"

At this moment, Principal Dumbledore coughed twice.

Toby slapped his mouth twice and asked Draco, who was already frightened, to sit down.

"Okay, let's not talk about the bloodline issue for now, let's move the topic back to ancient magic."

"As I said at the beginning, I want to teach you something, but it can't compare to making you truly realize the importance of ancient magic, nor can it compare to letting you learn ancient magic spontaneously."

"This is a course of great significance and has close ties with the entire magical world."

"In the process of my research on ancient magic, there has always been a constant concept - the level of magic in the entire magic world is declining today, far less than that of earlier eras, such as the Middle Ages, and the ancient times further back.

Greek period.”

"One of these years - 1379 - I call this year the age of the death of ancient magic."

"Because there was a wizard duel competition held that year, and four wizards made it to the semi-finals. There was nothing to say about the first game. At most, it belonged to the category of human body transformation and animagus. Two wizards

He became a bull and a serpent, but the serpent won."

"But in the next game, one wizard conjured a huge storm cloud and used lightning to attack the opponent. And the other wizard conjured a powerful whirlwind, which not only blew away the storm, but also blew away the judges.

Mostly spectators and a few trees.”

"There is no doubt that these two powerful magics belong to ancient magic."

"But in the next final, a wizard recited a long and complicated spell. If he had the chance to finish it, this spell would make a mountain rise from the ground and fall on the opponent's head.

superior."

"But he lost the game, and this was just because his opponent cast a disarming spell - yes, you heard it right, it is a disarming spell. The spell is to disarm you."

"From now on, the wizard duel competition will never have such a grand scene. Every competition has complete records. You can check the relevant information in the library."

"But on the other hand, perhaps only a few people realize that the overall magic level in the magic world is gradually decreasing, so it will become increasingly difficult for wizards to perform such powerful magic."

"For example, the ancient Greek wizard - the invincible Andros, he was able to summon a patron saint the size of a giant. This was unprecedented and has never happened since."

"The magical world has gradually transformed into an older and more powerful existence. If you don't believe it, you can ask Principal Dumbledore if he can summon a patronus the size of a giant."

The students looked at Dumbledore curiously, but Dumbledore just smiled back and said nothing.

Toby took a moment to take a sip of lemonade. He looked at the students and asked, "So, are you interested in learning ancient magic now?"

The students nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Then do you want to know the reason why the magic level has dropped?"

The students nodded faster. It was hard to imagine what kind of honor this would be. The Ministry of Magic would definitely award the founder the Order of Merlin, First Class.

The kind Professor Heimer showed a big smile.

"Very good, I want to know too."

The students were dumbfounded. They only heard Toby continue: "This will be your homework for this class. Write a paper guessing the reason for the decrease in magic level. It should be at least twelve inches long. Submit it before the next class."

At the same time, the bell for the end of get out of class finally rang, and the students walked out of the classroom in a daze. They were listening fascinated, and they didn't understand why homework was suddenly assigned.

This is the first day of school.

Toby looked at the empty classroom with a smile. The feeling of attending class for the first time was not bad. He felt that compared with Snape, he was at least two to one.

At this time, Dumbledore's words came faintly: "The specific location of Loch Ness, the blood composition of the wizards, the speculation about the reduced magic level... Toby, you really gave me a difficult problem.

"

Toby shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "At least the students seem to like it."

His behavior was very natural, but Al, who pinched Dumbledore's shoulders diligently, still revealed his uneasiness. No matter what Toby thought, Al didn't want to be kicked out of school after one class.

It's enough to be this assistant.

Just as Toby secretly glanced at the expression on Dumbledore's face with his peripheral vision, Dumbledore stood up directly and placed a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" on his desk.

He walked outside the classroom, turned his back to Toby and said, "I suggest you read the story "The Fountain of Good Luck" carefully. There are comments I wrote at the end."

After Dumbledore disappeared into the corridor, Toby quickly opened the storybook to the page of "The Fountain of Good Luck" and looked directly to the back.

It does have Principal Dumbledore's comments on this story written on it.

[Mr. Lucius Malfoy, who is a member of the Hogwarts School Board. Mr. Malfoy submitted a written request to suppress the story: Any work of fiction or non-fiction that depicts intermarriage between wizards and Muggles should

Banned from the bookshelves of Hogwarts. I do not want my son to be influenced by reading these stories promoting miscegenation between wizards and Muggles, tarnishing the purity of his bloodline.]

[I refused to remove this library, and received the support of a majority of the Board of Directors. I wrote a reply to Mr. Malfoy explaining my decision: The so-called pure-blood family, through denial or lies

, who deny having Muggles or Muggle-borns in their families in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline they claim. They also seek to impose their hypocrisy on the rest of us by banning those who tell the truth they deny.

Every wizard in the world has Muggle blood in his veins, and I believe that it would be unreasonable and unethical to purge this subject from the knowledge base of our students.

"ah!"

Al excitedly pointed to the content of Dumbledore's reply, and Toby gave it a high-five: "I know, Al."

"It's time to prepare for a permanent stay at Hogwarts."

At the same time, the contents of the first ancient magic class are also being spread to the outside world. Some people are amazed, some are incredible, and some are angry and criticizing.

The whole Hogwarts is boiling!
