The card draw starts in Azkaban

Hermione Granger was in her dormitory. She didn't know what was happening outside. She closed the bed curtains and was lighting up her eyes with her wand, focusing on the books in front of her.

This is a very thick history book.

Next to this book are some books given to her by Professor Lupine.

These books were piled together and were taller than Hermione lying down.

This was very dangerous. If these books collapsed, Hermione might be buried, but Hermione didn't care about these things.

She sleeps well.

Some of these books are banned, but some are not. The big thing in front of Hermione is a history book.

Hermione Granger may not be a creative inventor, but she is definitely a scholar who can absorb the information she wants from the vast sea of ​​books.

Her ability to collect, summarize, and logically reason is definitely among the best among this group of students. Even some powerful wizards are not as good as Hermione Granger in terms of logical reasoning ability.

She was summarizing the information Professor Luping told her, got some of the information she wanted, and then searched for clues in the vast sea of ​​books.

This Death Eater's curse seems to be a curse that can affect both the body and the soul. No matter how far away the person is, the person who casts this curse can use the branding curse to call his followers.

This description reminded Hermione Granger of the slave branding used by wizards on their slaves in ancient times.

That kind of branding sounds a little more cruel.

In ancient times, wizards generally kept slaves. At that time, the Ministry of Magic did not exist. At that time, the Ministry of Magic was still called the Magic Council. It was a loose alliance composed of some powerful wizards. Its role was very shallow. The connections between wizards

Also very loose.

It goes without saying that only dark wizards keep slaves.

At that time, it was not just dark wizards who kept slaves.

Serious wizards also kept slaves and owned large estates.

If we look at it by today's standards, of the four people who founded Hogwarts, two were dark wizards and one was a Slytherin. No one needs to say much about him.

Another founder of Gryffindor, Godric Gryffindor, is also a dark wizard. The dueling spells he cast are all spells that can only be cast by dark wizards.

Not to mention, the number of people Godric Gryffindor killed may not be lower than that of Slytherin.

Unlike Slytherin, Mr. Godric Gryffindor does not play Basilisk, nor is he a Parselmouth, nor does he use unforgivable curses like Avada Kedavra to kill people. Gryffindor kills people

, most of them died under his sword, in the arena!

Gryffindor's sword was not so powerful at first, nor was it so "wisdom."

It does not choose the bearer of courage, nor does it choose who can master it. The original Gryffindor sword only had the characteristics of sharpness and self-cleaning.

Although it was good, it was not as powerful as it is now.

Not to mention, the goblins at that time inlaid a lot of gems on this sword, so many people thought that the Sword of Gryffindor was just a toy for viewing when they saw it.

The reason why Gryffindor is so powerful today is because the Sword of Gryffindor killed enough people, and all the essence of these enemies was absorbed by the Sword of Gryffindor.

This is a baby made by fairies, a baby that can grow!

The sword of Gryffindor is as powerful as it has killed in the past!

As for whether Gryffindor has servants, yes, it does, and the same goes for Slytherin, who also has his own servants.

The four people who created the school all had their own servants, and even Ms. Hufflepuff had a huge number of house elves.

These house elves, Ms. Hufflepuff, left the wealth to Hogwarts.

The house elves in the kitchen are the descendants of house elves left by Hufflepuff.

Ms. Hufflepuff, are slave brands used on these house elves?

Hermione actually asked, no.

Hermione had just been to the kitchen yesterday and asked the house elves. When asking about this matter, the house elves were so frightened that their ears fell down, and some even covered their ears.

Not many of them have really lived to this day. From Ms. Hufflepuff to the present, even house elves cannot live this long.

Most of them are descendants of those house elves.

However, because of the same bloodline, the information these house elves received is relatively true and can be regarded as first-hand information.

They told Hermione in fear, "Ms. Hufflepuff is the best master in the world. She has never tortured us, and she has never branded us slaves."

Hermione returned in vain. Since she couldn't get any information from the house elves, she found another way and continued to find these answers from the pure-blood family.

According to Hermione's investigation, in addition to some pure-blood families (here she is talking about the Weasley family) who are relatively poor and do not have house elves in their families, there are also some pure-blood families who, at the earliest, did not just raise their families at home.

Elves, along with Muggle slaves and wizard slaves, maintain their rule.

In other words, from the earliest times, wizards from pure-blood families were really the rulers among wizards.

According to history, before the first nationwide witch hunt, the wizarding world had long been in darkness.

Because this world is not led by great figures like the four founders of Hogwarts, and the wizarding council is not qualified to rule the wizarding world, the wizarding world is in a state of barbaric growth.

Many young wizards and awakened wizards have no teachers or guidance. On their growth path, they are only hunted by high-ranking hunters (dark wizards, upper-class Muggles) and attacked by some Muggles.

Some Obscurials, as well as little wizards who couldn't cast much magic even with wands, were hunted, hanged, and drowned by these people.

These people are the hunted, and they are often the most numerous people in the wizarding world.

At that time, there were even a large number of wizards. They did not consider themselves wizards, they were nobles. They were a community of interests connected by family honor, marriage, and blood. They were not those dirty wizards.

Bloodline above all else!

Nobles have some blood inheritance. They regard the power of wizards as a gift from God, a gift from the family, a gift from the bloodline, and a gift from the ancestors.

Various gifts have blessed them, but they just don't want to admit that they are wizards.

At that time, wizards were a pseudo-concept.

These nobles passed on some of the magicians' methods through family learning!

Many self-awakened wizards have no one to guide them at all. They will only become obscurial ones in pain. In the process of their growth, the obscurus latent in their bodies will suddenly burst out!

They will die.

They will also take the people around them to death.

They are a scourge!

Generally speaking, these Obscurials with Obscurus in their bodies will never live past the age of ten. If the power in their bodies goes wild, they can destroy a village!

Hermione was so shocked by the news recorded in these history books. The records of magic always have a different kind of mental shock, which is different from the drowsy history of magic taught by Professor Binns.

, these books record the bloody past.

At this moment, Hermione finally remembered what Professor Binns often said.

She somewhat understood what he meant.

Professor Binns said, "What I am telling is the true history of the magical world. It is not a myth or a legend. They have really happened in history and are of flesh and blood."

Hermione closed the book shakily.

She felt she needed a break.

She did not sleep peacefully. After sleeping for four hours, Miss Hermione Granger woke up again. She reopened the book in high spirits. This time, she felt that she had finally found some clues.

Clues about slave branding.

After getting the clue, she happily went to have breakfast. This time, she rarely waited for Ron and Harry. She quickly found Professor Binns. Professor Binns was very concerned about the fact that students would come to him.

Extremely surprised.

Even though the student who came to him was Hermione who often came to see the professor.

"Miss Hermione Granger."

Professor Binns said slowly, "I'm glad to see you come to me.

I don’t know why you came to see me?

Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I have some questions for the professor."

Hermione held the book tightly in her arms and picked it up. After turning the page, she pointed to a painting on it and said, "Professor Binns, do you still remember this mark?"

Professor Binns' head passed through the books and saw this mark.

"Ah, ah, of course I remember, Miss Hermione Granger, but this is not a third-year study course, this should be your fourth-year study course.

What, you said you want to know this knowledge, this is not impossible.

To be honest, I don't know the name of the owner of this brand.

But we can speculate on the age of his activities.

He is a dark wizard active in the Middle Ages. His fame lies in that he is an inventor of curses. If the memories of those old wizards are correct, he invented the most twisted of the three unforgivable curses.

The wizard who cast the Killing Curse.

He invented Avada Kedavra."

Professor Binns said.

"The inventor of Avada Kedavra."

Hermione knew that this spell was one of the three unforgivable curses and the most evil kind of magic. The person who invented this spell had an extremely profound understanding of the human soul.

He also has a twisted heart.

Similarly, this dark wizard also had in-depth research on some black magic curses. Therefore, he did not leave his real name at all to prevent himself from being cursed.

But that doesn't mean he left nothing behind.

In the dust of history, he did leave some imprints, and these imprints involved what Professor Lu Ping told him about the double shackles of the soul and the body!

The slave mark he used on his slaves!
