The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

17. History without textbooks

The herbal medicine class in the afternoon is taught by my own dean, Professor Pomona Sprout, who is kind and protective at the same time, and looks short and fat.

According to the gossip from my classmates and Gryffindors, Snape of Slytherin never dared to offend Professor Sprout publicly. Without Head Hufflepuff, there may be a day when the herbs given to you will be short of ounces or just crooked.

It was Gryffindor who had herbal medicine class with Hufflepuff, and there was also a history of magic class in the evening. They were in a hurry when they were learning how to deal with mandrakes, but Cyrus was fine, although The cry of these little mandrakes can make people faint, but there is nothing wrong with ear protection,

The evening class schedule really made Cyrus unable to complain. Because of the astronomy class, the class time in the evening is eleven o'clock. Besides astronomy at eleven o'clock is normal, why is History of Magic and Transfiguration class on Thursday also? Eleven o'clock! !

Obviously, astronomy can be taken out as a course at a specific time! !What anti-human class schedule?

History of Magic at night is Professor Binns, the only ghost professor in Hogwarts, and the only professor who is very casual in class. Whether you are sleeping in class or reading a book, he is just there to explain Bash. Da Bagshot's A History of Magic,

I heard that once he was sleeping in the staff lounge, and he didn't even know there was a fire there in the middle of the night.The next morning, he got up stupidly and went to class, but he left his body there and forgot to take it.

The Gryffindor lions were either quietly discussing Quidditch or sleeping, and the few little badgers who attended the class just jotted down some names and times.

In addition to "History of Magic", there are also "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft" and "List of Famous Modern Magicians" on Cyrus' desk for comparison, and found some interesting things.

First of all, the magic world now has a lot of wealth (the 'wealth' here includes not only material, but also real estate, knowledge, and personnel composed of servants, etc.), all power comes from the holy 28 pure-blood families

And the 28 sacred races are——

Malfoy, Abbott, Avery, Black, Burst, Burke, Carrow, Crouch, Foley, Flint (Slytherin is currently the prefect and the captain of the Quidditch team), Gunter , Greenglass, Lestrange, Longbottom, MacMillan, Knott, Ollivander, Weasley, Yaxley, Travers, Slughorn, Rozier, Rozier Parkinson

Among them, the most famous Horace Slughorn and Severus Snape are both professors of potions. The former belongs to the Slughorn family, and the latter is listed in the "List of Famous Modern Magicians". Records are linked to the Malfoy family.

In this way, it makes sense, why Hogwarts gave birth to so many famous professors, but no one updated the teaching materials of the wizarding world,

Monopoly, a monopoly from a pure-blood family, is like the European medieval nobles monopolizing the knowledge of the bottom people; but anyone who is talented will naturally be linked to a pure-blood family.

Here comes the question, the most important part of the wizarding world is non-pure-blood wizards (here includes small magical families, such as the Dumbledore family; and so-called Muggle wizards), especially Muggle wizards, why the idea has been stuck for hundreds of years ?

Cyrus flipped the book and the knowledge points over and over, combined with the reality around him, and discovered one thing - a sense of belonging,

The wizarding world and Hogwarts prohibit the use of Muggle objects, which include a series of civilization development products such as mobile phones and typewriters; secondly, wizard schools are all boarding systems, except for holidays, even weekends are in school,

This has led to the gradual weakening of non-pure-blood wizards' sense of belonging and connection to human civilization.

The development of human civilization in the outside world is rapid, from World War I to the end of World War II, and then to the end of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony; the exploration of the deep space of the universe has the "Four Heavenly Kings" plan.

In turn, look at the magic world,

The most surprising thing is that Grindelwald tried to control ordinary people and the second-generation Dark Lord to support pure blood supremacy during World War II.

A joke, a big joke, even if Cyrus traveled to every universe, even the world with the lowest civilization development would not be so closed.

Especially the two Dark Lords, one of them is pretending to break the "Act of Secrecy", but he is actually the supremacy of wizards; the other is the supremacy of pure blood, even worse than Adolf of the Nazis. dare not mention it.

People's "pure blood" is based on their own national race, and then vigorously develop heavy industry, and expand their force abroad; this Dark Lord?Randomly pull a few pure-blood families and start trying to conquer the world,

To be honest, through the existing basic wizarding history books, Cyrus didn't see any Dark Lord, just two clowns.

Cyrus began to miss the magic technology and steam technology of goblins and dwarves,

"Professor, I have something that I don't quite understand." Cyrus stepped forward gently and whispered,

Professor Binns looked a little Alzheimer's disease, and it took a while to come back to his senses. It seemed that no students had asked him questions for a long time. using what he considers to be a kind tone

"What's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"

"Here, I compared "History of Magic" with "List of Famous Modern Magicians", and found out why there always seems to be some gaps in the history of magic?" Cyrus took out the book and summed up his own notes and placed them in Binns In front of the professor,

"Look, why do most of the famous magicians recorded in these books come from pure blood? And those famous non-pure blood magicians didn't use their knowledge to improve the magic world in the end?" the boy talked endlessly,

"It is obvious that the magic world has countless opportunities to go further, and it is obvious that non-pure-blood wizards are the most important part of the magic world. Why are the families that gave birth to Death Eaters still able to sit at the top..."

Professor Binns sat there and listened carefully. After a while, Cyrus thought he was falling asleep before stopping.

"Well...to be honest, you can think about these things, which shows that you have seriously thought about the history of magic." Professor Binns is not as closed as Cyrus imagined, and it seems that the corner of the professor's mouth is always smiling, " Many years, many years, no student has asked me a question, you are the second, I remember a little girl in Ravencrow also asked me a question in the afternoon."

"How should I say it? Let me think about it, um...it's okay, you can sit here, anyway, there are no students listening to my lecture." Professor Binns waved his hand at him and motioned for him to take a chair to sit by the podium.

"The little girl in the afternoon asked a few questions similar to yours. I couldn't answer some of them. After thinking about it carefully, I was able to answer your questions just right."

"First, those non-pure-blood famous magicians didn't use their knowledge to improve the magic world in the end? Good question, um...very tricky, to be honest, if you can ask this kind of question, you should have an answer in your heart Right?" "Yes, yes, I have already guessed it, although I have read many books and haven't found the answer, but I still guessed it"

"That's right, that's what you think—knowledge is locked up. In fact, it's a genius that you can think of this step through your own thinking." Professor Binns flipped through the boy's notebook carefully,

"I can't remember how long I have lived, so I know some secrets of pure blood. I only guessed it through association." The professor shook his head with a wry smile.

"Every pure-blood family has more or less their own heritage. The bigger the family, the greater the heritage, the greater the wealth." Binns thought for a while, and finally made up his mind, "The Malfoy family is the first, followed by It's Ollivander and finally Blake"

"Then Potter, Slughorn, and Weasley..." Professor Binns picked up the quill that hadn't been touched for a long time and wrote and drew in his notebook.

"What do you think is the dominance of a pure-blood family?" "Um... the accumulation of wealth?"

The professor nodded, "Yes, but it only accounts for a small part. The background of the pure-blood family is the magic that has not been handed down in the magic world. In layman's terms, it is - family magic."

"It is rumored that Malfoy and Weasley have never been able to deal with each other, and the conflict between them is just not dealt with. Malfoy has a lot of material wealth and the magic hidden in the family, while the Weasley family is not rich, but in the The wizarding world wields a great deal of power"

Professor Binns circled several names and helped Cyrus take notes; sitting next to the podium, he obviously attracted the attention of most people,

At this time, Cyrus thought of something, and then looked down, just in time to meet the eyes of those named Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, and then the two whispered for a while before continuing to sleep, The voices of Binns and him were so low that no one under the podium could hear them.

"The Weasley family occupies a huge part of the power in the Ministry of Magic, and part of the laws are handed down by Arthur Weasley; Malfoy..." Cyrus looked a little unhappy when he saw the professor's expression. , "What happened to the Malfoy family? Professor"

"Malfoy.....I heard it was a Death Eater.....is safe and sound after that man's downfall..."

"That person? I'm sorry, Professor, I don't understand why the wizarding world calls the Dark Lord that person?"

Professor Binns looked horrified at this moment, looked at him for a long time, finally sighed, and said in a low voice:

"That man - partly out of fear, but more because his name was cursed" Cursed?Cyrus remembered some of the rumors that the seniors had said, "Is it like the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

"More than that, the person who speaks the name will be cursed by him, and may be located by the rest of the Death Eaters." Cyrus understood, this is the clown king with some mental problems,

A trick that even the Darth Vader of the Empire would not bother to play, but to instill fear in people with extreme violence.

At this time, get out of class was over, and Professor Binns waved to Cyrus who was packing up, and when there was no one in the classroom, he said, "Don't tell other people about these problems, it's dangerous, I mean it will bring trouble to you." Danger,"

"But...professor, you—"

"Me? Huhuhu~ I'm just a ghost." The professor laughed, but still said something that shocked him

"Cyrus...that's right...remember, I've read books for many years, and today I was asked by you and that little girl, so I'll tell you a fact" Binstor wrote A book, "What you have seen, including the current "History of Magic", can only be called "The Development of the Magic World" at best, and it is not qualified to be called the history of magic at all."

"Cyrus, you and that little girl remember that there is no history in the magic world...go ahead, if you don't understand, I welcome you at any time"

"Okay, thank you, professor." Cyrus held the book, bowed slightly respectfully towards the professor,

At the moment he turned around, Professor Binns reversed his previous state of class, and looked at Cyrus's back with deep and radiant eyes suddenly, and when he walked around the corner, he returned to his previous appearance,

The whole body was floating in the air, and the hunched figure looked very thin. He covered the book and put it on the podium, and walked away through the wall.
