Harry Potter Hello Dark Lord
Chapter 38 The History of Magic 1689 (2)
Judging from Professor Binns’ explanation, Qin Weijie made a bold assumption.
The so-called 'for many reasons' most likely refers to a period in the Middle Ages when wizards experienced widespread 'out of control' behavior.
Since most wizards were "out of control", the "out of control" wizards began to cause chaos, spread plagues, and even massacre Muggles.
Otherwise, it cannot be explained. In the fifth century AD, people still respected wizards, but for a period of time after that, wizards were associated with words such as evil, terror, chaos, disease, and death. The only words that can be associated with these words are 'taboo'.
The only explanation is that the 'taboo' in the Middle Ages caused widespread 'loss of control' among wizards. The 'loss of control' of wizards led to a large number of Muggles being sacrificed and killed, which intensified the conflict between Muggles and wizards, causing Muggles to begin to
Fear, loathing and even persecution of wizards.
This also explains why the magical world in modern times has been committed to overthrowing the original "classical magic" and turning to contemporary magic that is not powerful but extremely practical.
"Professor, is there any relationship between the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1689 and the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy by the wizarding world?"
Qin Weijie asked again.
Qin Weijie has thought about this issue for a long time, mainly based on historical data. The timing of the two is so coincidental that Qin Weijie feels that there is an inevitable connection between the two.
Professor Binns narrowed his eyes slightly, a little unwilling to answer the question, and acted like I didn't hear, I don't know, and I don't want to say.
"Child, I really can't tell you this."
As he spoke, Professor Binns began to walk outside. His spirit body was swaying in the wind. The color of his spirit body seemed much weaker than that of other ghosts.
It should be because it was too long ago, Qin Weijie thought so, and an idea appeared in his mind.
"Professor, wait!" Qin Weijie called to Professor Binns.
Professor Binns turned around in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid your soul will dissipate. It could take as little as five years, or as long as ten years..."
Professor Binns had a horrified expression on his silver face.
"You...how do you know?"
"I can help you renew your life. No, it should be to renew your soul and requiem your soul."
Professor Binns thought for a while: "The solidification of Peeves, Bloody Balor and Nick's souls has something to do with you?"
Qin Weijie did not answer directly, just shrugged.
"If that's the case, I believe you can do it..." Professor Binns said: "I don't ask you for what purpose, as long as you can let me stay in Hogwarts to teach, even if you want to destroy
I don’t care about the world…”
Qin Weijie smiled with some shame: "Professor, who do you think I am? I am a good young man who loves peace! You just need to answer a few questions. Also, I know some about 'taboos',
'Losing control' and 'classical magic' stuff."
"I see. No wonder you came to ask me those questions. It seems that you have found clues to the truth from the historical context." Professor Binns looked at Qin Weijie with relief. At this moment, Qin Weijie could feel Professor Binns' sincere gratitude.
Feel relieved and joyful.
"The question you just asked is very sharp. Most people really can't answer you. But I can, because that is the life I have experienced..."
Professor Binns began his story.
The Glorious Revolution of 1689 indeed had the shadow of the magical world. During his reign, King James II of England attempted to restore the rule of the 'church'.
During the Middle Ages, the "Church" was the largest force that advocated the slaughter of wizards. They used theology to confuse people's minds and misinterpret God's will. Anyone who opposed them was a heretic. They persecuted wizards and burned a large number of innocent wizards with fire.
They will not listen to the wizard's explanation, let alone whether the wizard threatens to "lose control". As long as you are a wizard, you will be burned regardless of whether you have "lost control" or not. They would rather kill you by mistake than let go.
The wizards at that time were desperate and cooperated with the new aristocracy and emerging bourgeoisie at the time to prevent the restoration of the "Church" and laid the foundation for Britain's current constitutional government.
Later, for the sake of long-term peace between the Muggle world and the wizarding world, representatives of the wizarding world and the Muggle world at that time negotiated the "International Statute of Secrecy" to temporarily hide the magic world.
"The purpose of hiding the magical world is...? To reform 'classical magic'!?" Qin Weijie interrupted Professor Binns' narration and deduced his logic about the history of magic.
"That's right! During the Middle Ages, wizards were largely 'out of control'. The main reason was the instability of 'classical magic'. In order to change people's views on wizards, the magical world decided to hide it temporarily and develop new ones that would not easily get out of control.
The magic." Professor Binns told,
Qin Weijie added: "I think there were some wizards who considered giving up their magical power at that time, but the result was that they found that the more they suppressed their magical power, the easier it was to lose control, especially the young wizards."
"Yes, you guessed it right."
Following this logic, in 1689 wizards and the new aristocracy and bourgeoisie of the Muggle world joined forces to launch the Glorious Revolution. Afterwards, the Muggles signed the "Bill of Rights", laying the foundation for modern human civilization.
At the same time, in order to improve people's view of wizards, the wizarding world was forced to sign the "International Statute of Secrecy", hiding the wizarding world from the Muggle world. At the same time, it also made up its mind to reform "classical magic".
Fundamentally, the so-called "International Statute of Secrecy" protects wizards to a large extent.
This should be regarded as a delaying measure for the top management of the wizarding world to temporarily restrict wizards, carry out reforms in the wizarding world, eliminate the risk of "out of control", and stand in front of Muggles with a new look at the appropriate time, restoring wizards to their former glory.
A model for peaceful coexistence with Muggles.
From a fundamental logic point of view, there is nothing wrong with the International Statute of Secrecy. Qin Weijie even respects those senior officials who dare to cut off their wrists to reform the magical world.
History is a very interesting thing. Many details are hidden in historical texts. Only by finding clues can we discover the truth.
Today's discussion with Professor Binns gave Qin Weijie a deeper understanding of the magical world and the causes and consequences of the 'Classical Magic Reform Movement'.
"Thank you very much, Professor Binns. I am amazed by your knowledge."
"I'm just an old ghost who likes to witness history. I just want to keep witnessing the development of this world and record them..."
"I will definitely fulfill your wish."
Qin Weijie chuckled, the seals in his hands changed, and a requiem talisman appeared on Qin Weijie's fingertips.
Qin Weijie took advantage of the situation, and the Requiem Talisman entered Professor Binns' eyebrows. Professor Binns's spirit body solidified a little, and his body continued to solidify.
"This is just the simplest requiem talisman. After a while, I will use yellow paper and cinnabar to help you make a more powerful talisman. It should be able to ensure that your soul will not be lost again for five to six hundred years..."
"Thank you so much! My dear boy!"
Qin Weijie smiled: "Professor Binns, one more thing, I hope you can keep this matter secret. I don't want the ghosts of the whole school or the ghosts of the whole UK to come looking for me, which will make me very distressed."
"You can rest assured, I swear on my soul..."
