The man behind Hogwarts

Tuesday.

Inside the library.

Librarian's Office.

"Okay, Mrs. Pince, thank you for your opinion."

William took a piece of paper from Mrs. Pince and expressed his gratitude very sincerely.

In order to help William's library classification plan, Mrs. Pince made some suggestions to William in the form of displays, such as which bookshelf is easiest to start sorting, what are the characteristics of some books, and so on.

William truly understood what it means to have an elder in the family like a treasure.

Mrs. Pince knew the library better than anyone else.

With this opinion, the next plan will be more complete.

Mrs. Pings hummed slightly and waved her hand.

"Okay, okay, just a little thing. Take it and go, don't disturb me reading."

William smiled carelessly.

"Okay, bye."

......

Walk around the library.

William came to the "enchanted area" with ease and found Evelin here.

She was holding a big book and reading it with gusto.

William leaned over and whispered:

"It's time to go, Potions class is about to start."

Evelin hummed twice randomly, and after a few breaths, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and raised her head to look at William.

"Is Potions class about to start?"

William nodded, "You are completely fascinated by the book."

"Time flies so fast."

Evelin smoothed her hair that hung down in front of her body, closed the big book, and stretched.

"Let's go, don't dawdle, be careful that Snape puts small shoes on you."

"Haha, is Snape so petty in your eyes?"

"He's too protective," Evelin said with a frown.

Snape clearly favored Slytherin House, and Evelyn had recently discovered this problem.

"Now he doesn't ask me to answer questions in class, and he will deduct points from our house from time to time. I think he is just protecting Slytherin and wants his house to get the highest score."

William shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"At least you got too high in his class before, but what about me?"

“He didn’t once slap me for answering a question.”

Evelin's eyes lit up and she whispered: "Should we report him to Dean Flitwick?"

"Let's give up this idea."

"Why!?" Evelin was a little unconvinced.

William: "It's his right to smoke whoever answers the question. Moreover, although he added a lot of points to Slytherin, he never showed mercy when he had to deduct points."

"It can only be said that he gave Slytherin more opportunities, which is understandable."

"Think about it."

Evelin thought for a while and acquiesced.

......

On the road.

"Evelin, I got a magic spell by chance. You can try to learn it."

William told her the "spiritual education".

It's been mentioned before.

William found two magic spells from an ancient book that was not valued: wind control and spiritual cultivation.

After practice, he successfully learned the art of cultivating spirits, and through the art of cultivating spirits + saw-tooth vine, he got two precious things: saw-tooth whip and Vega (the intelligent saw-tooth vine).

According to the description in ancient books, the magical effects of these two spells are constant and will not fade or be reversed.

He was confused at that time.

If this is the case, doesn't it prove that these two magic spells are as precious as the Philosopher's Stone?

That being the case, why had he never heard anyone mention this curse?

Nearly half a month has passed since Weijia gained spiritual intelligence, and the magical effect of the spiritual cultivation technique has not changed at all.

After confirming this, William had some guesses in his mind.

——Perhaps, ordinary wizards simply cannot learn the art of cultivating spirits.

He thought for a long time and decided to give Evelin a try.

"This spell is so strange."

After listening to William's explanation of the spiritual cultivation technique, Evelin immediately felt it.

"The spell it learned from us seems...seems..."

William answered: "It doesn't seem to be a system?"

Evelin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's how it feels."

"It should be a magic that belongs to ancient wizards. I don't know if it can still be used."

William was suddenly curious. He had never heard of this statement.

"You mean, the ancient wizard's magic may not work? Why is that?"

"I've read many books and never seen this statement."

Evelin smiled quietly.

She looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes until class.

Looking around, his eyes fell on the lounge chair in the corridor.

"It's a long story, let's sit and talk."

After saying this, she sat down first.

William followed closely, and after sitting down, he said, "If it's very complicated, we'll talk about it after class."

Evelin leaned on the back of the chair and raised her leather boots.

"Shut up, I'm going to say it now."

William: "..."

Evelin continued: "I learned this knowledge from the family secrets. Originally, I couldn't tell outsiders..."

Before she finished speaking, she looked at William with half-smiling eyes.

William showed a puzzled expression.

She added: "I tell you such important family knowledge, how will you repay me?"

"What do you want in return?" William asked.

"I don't know, but I will definitely repay you."

William was stunned and said: "In that case, let's not talk about it. I will go to the library to check it myself."

As he stood up to leave, Evelin pulled him.

"Don't go."

Seeing that William did not take the bait, Evelin was helpless.

She said: "Otherwise, I will tell you this knowledge, and you must agree to my request in the future."

William breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"I told you earlier. It's just a request. I agreed."

"I thought you were plotting against me. It's scary."

Evelin blushed.

William sat down again and said: "Okay, you can talk now, and to make a long story short, class is about to begin."

Evelin rolled her eyes at him.

Start telling.

"You should know the story of the origin of magic. In ancient times, there was no magic, no spells, no wands... The ancient wizards were like gods, born with magical powers, speaking of the constitution, and calling the wind and rain."

"I don't know when the ancient wizards gradually disappeared, and along with them came the birth of the magic system."

William nodded slightly.

He knew this knowledge, and it was also described in ancient books that recorded "spirit-nurturing techniques".

Evelin's voice lowered quietly: "These are common sense in the wizarding world and are recorded in many books, but the specific secrets inside are only known to some ancient families."

secret?

William's heart suddenly became hot.

Listen more intently.

"In fact, this common sense obscures one detail, which is the time when the magic system was born."

"Ordinary wizards all know that 'the ancient wizards died, and the magic system was born.' But was the magic system born after the ancient wizards died, or before they died?"

William: "Is this important?"

Evelin nodded solemnly.

"There is a secret text in my family's secret collection called "The Self-Mourning of the Last God."

"This is what it says..."
