Learn magic from Hogwarts

When Noah returned to the lounge after eating and drinking, Montague and the others were still playing the crackling explosion card game unremittingly.

We even invited Noah to join us.

"Okay, just treat it as digestion after a meal." Noah nodded and agreed.

So soon, other people felt what it means to be "crushed".

The rules of the game they play are very simple: put all the cards on the table, and each person takes turns turning over the cards in pairs.

There are five players and a total of one hundred and sixty-four cards, which means there are eighty-two pairs in total.

This is quite a huge amount.

But Slytherins are always very confident in their own excellence. They are confident that they can memorize a lot of cards. Besides the two first-year students, the other two senior students also want to see Noah, an already famous genius.

Well, although the person who was bombed will not be injured, his face will definitely be black.

But after seven laps, Noah's face was still fair, while the other people's faces were more or less stained with black smoke.

Noah took a look at the many blank cards on the table and quickly determined which cards had pairs.

Yes, he has memorized all the cards.

Warrington turned over the two cards again, and the two cards exploded at his fingertips the moment he turned them over. He sighed in disappointment: "I have turned over everything I remembered."

Noah glanced at the table: "There are still three pairs of paired cards. The probability is very small. Do you still plan to play?"

The others were stunned and turned to look at Noah.

There are still twenty-four cards that have been taken off the table. During this period, they have forgotten how many cards were blown up and which suits were blown up. Most of the remaining cards are no longer in pairs, but... why can Noah be so accurate?

Quote numbers?

After taking a look at the shocked expressions of others, Noah reached out wordlessly and turned over a pair of cards simultaneously with both hands.

It's a pair, and the pattern on it is two identical wands.

Wands are the hardest combination to remember because many wands look alike, making them extremely difficult to identify accurately.

And what Noah opened... didn't explode!

Noah turned over the two cards and then turned over the second pair, which were two Nifflers holding gems.

Then came the third pair, two identical Quaffles.

"No more." Noah retracted his hand, "The game is over."

As he finished speaking, all the remaining cards were automatically turned over in unison and swept over. Except for these three pairs, there really were no other identical cards.

Warrington opened his mouth: "Have you memorized all the cards?"

Noah said matter-of-factly: "Isn't this the basic gameplay of this game?"

other people:"……"

This is one hundred and sixty-four pictures!

"I also have a deck of cards myself," Noah didn't think it was a big deal, "a total of one thousand, six hundred and forty-eight cards."

The card with the most complete designs!

Every time a new pattern is released, he will buy it.

When you are alone, this kind of game is the best way to pass the time.

"...Okay, okay." The two senior wizards responded and left in a daze.

Is this a genius?

"Recover as before." Noah cast a repair spell with his wand to restore all the exploded cards, and then planned to leave.

These guys are too noobs, it's better for him to play on his own.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Noah already felt deeply disgusted.

…

The next afternoon, Slytherin was going to take History of Magic with Ravenclaw.

This course is recognized as the "most boring" course. It teaches the history of the magical world before the 19th century and does not require the actual use of magic.

So this course is purely a history course without any technical content at all, although the fact that the professor is a "ghost" shocked many students.

Professor Cuthbert Binns is a very old professor. It is said that his teaching history can be traced back to the beginning of Hogwarts. It is said that this professor was very old when the school was first established.

, because he is knowledgeable, quick-thinking, and clear-minded, so he was invited as a professor of the history of magic.

Until one day, the old professor forgot to take his body with him when he got up to go to class after taking a nap in the lounge.

However, death did not stop the professor from continuing his teaching career, and Professor Binns became the only ghost professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

According to senior students, it is still open to question whether the professor knew he was dead. Although he occasionally walked through the wall and entered the classroom directly, the professor never talked about his death.

However, Professor Binns himself is not an interesting professor. He looks old and cheery, wearing a pair of small and thick glasses. There is no emotion at all when he lectures, but rather like a "buzzing" reading.

machine.

Well, even Ravenclaw would not deny this.

This shows how boring this course is.

As the rumors said, Professor Binns had no intention of naming anyone. He sat on his own and began to flip through his old magic history book: "Let me see, we should...

"

He said as if he suddenly realized that this was the first class for freshmen: "Ah, I almost forgot, you are in the first year, right? Let me think about it, it is Slytherin and Ravenclaw."

All the little wizards nodded.

Professor Binns nodded, pushed up his glasses, lowered his head and continued to flip through the book: "Then let's start from the beginning."

…

The history of the wizarding world begins around 900. At that time, Europe, that is, the Muggle society, was extremely hostile to wizards. This situation forced the most talented thinking wizards at that time to make a decision to stay away from Muggles and open a wizard training school.

decision.

They are the four founders of Hogwarts: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.

Together they founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and also divided various colleges under their respective names.

But later, the three founders had differences due to their ideas, and after the conflicts gradually intensified, Slytherin left the academy.

Around 1290, the three major magic schools in Europe - Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang - established a friendly competition - the Triwizard Tournament, which was held every five years.

Well, what follows is a long period of historical events.

When will the Quidditch World Cup be held, when will various laws be enacted, and what are the major events in Hogwarts.

It's really boring, almost like a Muggle history class.

Noah was quite interested in listening at first, but he soon discovered that Professor Binns was not telling a story at all, but simply stating history, and he couldn't help but feel bored.
