Harry Potter Hello Dark Lord

Chapter 37 The History of Magic 1689 (1)

After experiencing that dungeon confinement, Qin Weijie had spent four or five days at Hogwarts in the blink of an eye.

Today is Tuesday, and on the way to the History of Magic classroom, Qin Weijie couldn't help but think of yesterday's enjoyable class.

In Qin Weijie's opinion, Monday's classes were very interesting. Professor Dumbledore's Transfiguration class was in the morning, and the students laughed almost from beginning to end.

Professor Dumbledore is very interesting, an interesting little old man.

"Don't be deceived by him. This bad old man is very evil and very sinister!" Although he was very happy in class, Qin Weijie kept making psychological suggestions in his mind.

In Dumbledore's class, Qin Weijie performed very well, and finally scored 5 points for Ravenclaw.

But Qin Weijie was very dissatisfied and kept secretly criticizing Lao Dengtou for being reluctant to give him extra points!

Monday afternoon was Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the teacher was a retired Auror, about forty years old, named Gerati, whose surname Qin Weijie couldn't remember clearly.

Gerati's class was not as good as Lao Dengtou's joyful transformation class. It was quite satisfactory, but fortunately, I learned a lot about magical black magic creatures.

When Qin Weijie was taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he roughly made a guess. The so-called black magic probably refers to classical magic that is prone to 'losing control' or is already 'out of control'.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Qin Weijie got another 3 extra points.

It's better to have something moderate than nothing.

"Weijie, what are you thinking about?" Tom asked Qin Weijie, who was distracted.

The History of Magic course is taught by Slytherin and Ravenclaw together. Actually, it is not accurate to say that the entire Tuesday class should be taught by the two houses together.

The flying lesson originally scheduled for this morning did not start as scheduled.

The main reason is that the previous flying teacher has ended his employment relationship with Hogwarts, and the school has not yet found a suitable teacher.

However, the school also issued a notice that first-year students should have their own flying lessons within a month. When there are no classes, students can only stay in the common room or library to study by themselves.

"It's okay, I'm just looking forward to what History of Magic will say..."

Qin Weijie came back to his senses and said that Tom and Qin Weijie walked into the History of Magic classroom.

Not long after, the school bell rang.

The history of magic is very interesting to Qin Weijie. A big reason is that the teacher of the history of magic is a ghost - Professor Binns Cuthbert, an old wizard. I heard that he is also the oldest wizard in this castle.

One of the ancient ghosts.

Of course, except for Qin Weijie, most others found Professor Binns's courses very boring.

That unlucky little fat man Carl was sitting behind Qin Weijie, half asleep and complaining about the history of magic class:

"Like an old man talking about trivial matters."

Others' complaints have nothing to do with Qin Weijie.

Qin Weijie listened very carefully to the History of Magic class. In his opinion, this old man may be the most respectable person in Hogwarts. Others use their lives to educate, but he uses everything he has to complete education.

Many of the things he talked about may seem boring and meaningless to others, but in Qin Weijie's opinion, they are probably the professor's experience and life in the past thousand years.

Ten years can reveal the passing of spring and autumn, a hundred years can reveal birth, old age, illness and death, and a millennium can reveal the change of dynasties. This old man is teaching knowledge from the perspective of thousands of years, which is respectable and lamentable.

Qin Weijie unstintingly regarded Professor Binns's course as a treasure, which also gained him a friendship from Professor Binns and gave Ravenclaw 10 points.

At the end of class, Qin Weijie stayed for a while because he wanted to ask Professor Binns some questions.

After bidding farewell to Tom and Elena, only Qin Weijie and Professor Binns were left in the classroom.

Seeing that Qin Weijie was not leaving, Professor Binns looked at Qin Weijie curiously.

"Oh, my child, what's the matter?"

Professor Binns obviously has a very good impression of Qin Weijie.

"Professor Binns, I would like to ask you for some knowledge."

"Haha, then you can ask. If this bad old man like me still remembers, I will definitely tell you!" Professor Binns said with a strong voice.

Qin Weijie lowered his head and thought for a moment, organized his words and began to ask:

"Professor, I learned from the history of magic that Muggles and wizards could actually get along harmoniously in ancient times. Wizards did not have to hide and lived in the sun. Muggles even had a little respect for wizards. Isn't this true?

"

Professor Binns nodded:

"Yes, I think you have heard of the story of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, right?"

Qin Weijie nodded noncommittally.

Upon seeing this, Professor Binns continued to talk, as if he was recalling the past: "In the fifth century AD, almost everyone knew that magicians existed, and King Arthur was raised by the great magician Merlin Buenlosius.

, Merlin was like a saint in the minds of people at that time. If they knew that Merlin was an old drunkard, they would not know what their expressions would be."

Qin Weijie's face was horrified. Professor Binns actually called Merlin, the legendary saint-like great magician, 'that guy' and 'the old drunkard', which sounded very familiar.

Calculating the time, it is at least more than 1,400 years since the fifth century AD. I used to think that Professor Binns was from the same era as the founder of the college, but I didn’t expect that it was even longer! I really want to ask how long he lived...

Qin Weijie suppressed his curiosity and gossip and continued to ask: "Professor, why did Muggles hate wizards so much in the end that they even started killing wizards? This led to the 'Glorious Revolution' in the Muggle world in 1689, and the wizarding world signed the "

International Statute of Secrecy?”

Qin Weijie asked questions while recalling the collection of 'classical magic', 'taboo', 'out of control' and Grindelwald during this period.

After learning more about Grindelwald during this period, Qin Weijie discovered that when mentioning Grindelwald, a bill must be mentioned, that is, the International Statute of Secrecy.

However, in all official documents, the description of the "International Statute of Secrecy" is always ambiguous. It is only known that after the "International Statute of Secrecy" was signed and came into effect in 1689, wizards completely moved into hiding and away from Muggle life.

, hidden under the steam technology civilization of the Muggles.

The reason why Grindelwald was able to gather so many believers was largely because he was committed to overturning the International Statute of Secrecy so that wizards could live in the sun without having to hide under Muggle civilization.

But the more he understood, the more Qin Weijie felt that it was not simple.

He always felt that there should be a secret behind the "International Statute of Secrecy" that could affect the direction of the entire magical world. This secret was probably related to 'classical magic', 'taboo' and 'loss of control'.

Because the modern theoretical system of magic appeared in 1690. Starting from 1690, the magic world began a movement to de-classical magic. This had a profound impact on the magic world, and even overthrew it to a certain extent.

Most previous theories of magic.

Professor Binns did not expect Qin Weijie to ask this question at all. He hesitated again and again, and finally touched Qin Weijie's head with an imaginary spirit body and explained:

"Child, this question is very profound and should not be dealt with at your age. I can only tell you that during the thousand-year-long Middle Ages, especially in the middle and late Middle Ages, Muggles began to hate wizards for many reasons.

Wizards regard it as synonymous with evil, terror, chaos, disease, and death. This set off a 'witch hunt campaign' that lasted for thousands of years."

Professor Binns explained in a very cryptic way, Qin Weijie kept thinking about the words 'for many reasons' in his mind.

"For what reason? Who's the reason? Muggles or wizards?" Qin Weijie did not dare to ask these questions, but stood there thinking.
