Chapter 120 Greetings from History of Magic

In the history of magic class on the second day, Professor Binns's class was still boring.

Professor Binns was talking about the International Conference of Wizards in 1289. He looked up and looked very surprised.Because a girl raised her hand, as if to ask a question.After taking classes for so many years, it was the first time he found someone asking questions in his class, and he seemed a little surprised.

"You are--"

"I'm Granger, Professor. I wonder if you could tell us what happened to the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione's voice was loud, and most of the Ravenclaw students were taking notes.The Hufflepuff students were dumbfounded by her question, as many of them clearly knew why.

Some students who were wandering in the sky turned their eyes back to the window, only to find that the professor's lecture was over.And there was a student who seemed to be asking a question.

Professor Binns blinked.

"I took History of Magic," he said in that dry, breathless voice. "I studied facts, Miss Granger, not myths and legends."

Professor Binns cleared his throat, made a soft sound like chalk breaking, and continued: "In October of that year, a special group of Sardinian magicians—"

Professor Binns ignored Granger and continued to preach.But he was only halfway through when Hermione raised her hand violently and waved it high.Professor Binns had no choice but to stop the lecture, and said very annoyed.

"Miss Granger?"

"I would like to ask you, sir, legends have a certain basis in fact, don't they?"

Professor Binns watched Granger silently, astonished.Many students have come to believe that no student, alive or dead, has ever interrupted Professor Binns twice so rudely as Granger.

"Okay," Professor Binns was defeated. To be honest, he was a little bored to tell these boring histories. He followed Miss Granger's intention and began to speak: "Yeah, I think you can say this .”

He looked at Hermione very helplessly, it was the first time he looked at a student seriously, "But the legend you mentioned is a very appalling, even ridiculous story..."

Now the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students were suddenly paying attention, listening to every word Professor Binns said.Apparently, they suddenly had a new perspective on some little misunderstanding between Slytherin and Gryffindor.Ravenclaw students who love to read have long known about the Chamber of Secrets, and the Chamber of Secrets and Slytherin are inseparable.The strong interest shown by the students really made it difficult for Mr. Binns.

"Oh, all right then." He said slowly, "Let me think about...the Chamber of Secrets..."

The students all stopped taking notes, including Ravenclaw, who was very diligent, also put down their pens, and everyone listened intently to every word that Professor Binns said.

"As you all know, Hogwarts was founded more than 1000 years ago - the exact date is not clear - by four of the greatest wizards of the time. Four houses are named after them: Goderry Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Together they created the castle, away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because In those days, common people were afraid of magic, and wizards suffered a lot of persecution."

Professor Binns paused in his intriguing explanation, scanned the classroom with vague eyes, and continued: "In the first few years, the founders worked harmoniously together, looking for young people who showed signs of magic. , take them to the castle, and train them well. But slowly, there are differences between them. The rift between Slytherin and others is getting bigger and bigger. Slytherin hopes that when Hogwarts recruits students More picky. He believed that magical education should be limited to purebred wizarding families. He was unwilling to accept children born to Muggles, thinking they were unreliable. After some days, Slytherin and Gryffindor, because this problem happened There was a violent argument, and the Slytherins left the school."

Professor Binns paused again, pursing his lips like a wrinkled turtle.

"That's all the reliable historical sources tell us," he said, "but these pure facts are overshadowed by a queer legend about the Chamber of Secrets. The story says that Slytherins built a secret chamber in the castle, and that other According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one would be able to open it until his true heir came to the school, if only that heir could open the Chamber and remove the horrors inside. Let it out, let it purify the school, and remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

The story ended here, and the whole class fell silent like death.Their fear of Slytherins was exacerbated by the fact that Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw made up half the students.After all, in the impressions of the two colleges, Slytherins were just children from relatively wealthy families, and now their bloodlines were even more worrying.

Hermione didn't dare to ask any more, because Professor Binns seemed to be getting angry.She knew some things she wanted to know, and she planned to wait until the end of get out of class to bring the news to Ron and Harry.

On the playground after class, Hermione asked the two of them out.And he explained all the things he asked the professor in the History of Magic class.After listening, Harry silently snapped his fingers.He always has this expression recently, and no one knows why.Ron was annoyed, with a disgusted expression on his face.

"I've known for a long time that Salazar Slytherin was a deranged old madman. But I didn't know he was the one who came up with this whole blood nonsense. I wouldn't go to his house for free, say To be honest, if the Sorting Hat had sorted me into Slytherin, I would have taken the train home without saying a word."

Because it was after class in the afternoon, the three of them only walked around the playground before walking into the crowded corridor, ready to eat.

Hermione very much agreed with Ron's point just now, but Harry said nothing.Both of them knew that Harry was very upset because of Dudley's sudden absence.Notices were posted on the bulletin boards of each college, Dudley Dursley, because of sick leave, he will temporarily suspend school at home.

Harry suddenly remembered the Sorting Hat and said it seriously in his ear.

(You're going to be great, you know that in the blink of an eye, Slytherin will help you to greatness, there's no doubt about it...)

Harry couldn't believe that all the students who entered Slytherin were very bad.Although Draco can really scare him sometimes.But Cousin Dudley was still the Cousin Dudley he knew.Only the latest Cousin Dudley was no longer familiar to him.Besides, Cousin Dudley had already gone home, even if he wanted to meet and ask, he didn't have enough time.
