The Bard at Hogwarts

In the endless river of time, time is like a silent painter, quietly depicting the changes of the world with her delicate brushstrokes.

As time goes by, those moments that were once as hot as fire and exciting gradually lose their original brilliance under the scouring of time.

The calm days are the mainstream of the castle, flowing slowly like a stream, without rushing or being impatient.

The little wizards also enjoy every bit of their lives on such days.

…

At the end of October, the temperature in Hogwarts has dropped to single digits.

Although the temperature is very low, everyone is enthusiastic because they are about to usher in the first festival of this school year - Halloween.

On October 31st, the day of the Halloween dinner, although the official holiday will not be tomorrow, the whole castle is shrouded in a mysterious and weird atmosphere.

On the walls of the corridor, the characters in the portraits have changed into their own Halloween costumes, some wearing pointed wizard hats, and some wearing black cloaks. They are laughing and talking, as if they are also celebrating this special festival.

Today, the little wizards are destined to have no mood for class, even for potions and transfiguration.

Of course, if they are lucky enough and happen to encounter the history of magic today, they can sleep well and be energetic enough to welcome the banquet in the evening.

After all, no one expects a ghost professor to be angry.

Yes, Binns Cuthbert, professor of history of magic, is a ghost.

He used to be a professor with extensive knowledge, quick thinking and clear ideas. But once during class, he forgot his body in the lounge, and since then Hogwarts has had a ghost professor.

Although Professor Binns is a ghost, this special identity has not affected his outstanding performance in teaching the history of magic, and he can still impart his knowledge to students.

The second floor of the castle, the history of magic classroom.

In the classroom, the little wizards occupy half of the territory according to their own colleges.

However, at this moment, whether it was Slytherin or the Hufflepuff next to them, everyone maintained a unified posture, propped up their chins with the thick "History of Magic", then closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Professor Binns was very interesting. He never called the roll, and he didn't care what the students were doing. It seemed that the whole world was only the classroom and himself.

The unchanging, monotonous and boring voice chanted the contents of the book that was obviously older than the textbook in his hand.

All this sounded like a rigid, set recorder, so the History of Magic class has become the best sleep-replenishing class recognized by young wizards.

Of course, on the left side of the classroom, in the territory occupied by Slytherin, there was an exception.

Ino not only listened to Professor Binns's talk about the history of magic with relish, but also kept taking notes on the parchment with the automatic feather pen beside him.

Others listen to the boring history of magic, but in his opinion, it is comparable to a magical epic story, with dragons, wizards, potions, magic, and even people falling in love with intelligent magical animals. Of course, the premise is to ignore the hypnotic tone.

Today's history of magic still interests him because Professor Binns talks about modern history.

"...Muggles are not as weak as wizards imagine, especially after Muggles raise flaming weapons."

"...Wizards who have to hide in the dark corners of the world finally can't stand it. They are fed up with this kind of life that can endanger their lives at any time, and a magical spell was invented."

"...This is also the most critical turning point in the history of magic. Based on the expulsion spell, a new Muggle expulsion spell appears!"

There is no ups and downs of the bard, but Ino listens with relish. At the same time, today's knowledge also confirms his previous point of view that the magic world is not simple at all.

Looking at the entire history of magic, he found that as long as wizards encounter problems that cannot be solved and endanger their survival.

Then after a period of time, there will always be targeted spells invented.

Just like the notorious Dementors, this kind of evil creature that can't be killed or expelled feeds on emotions and souls.

At that time, many wizards trembled in fear of this creature, but not long after, the ancient white magic, the Patronus Charm, was invented.

The same is true for the Muggle Exorcist Charm. Under the threat of guns and firearms, a Muggle Exorcist Charm that ignores rules and is even a little unreasonable was born so easily.

Professor Binns' lecture continued.

"...After the spell was released, the Muggles could only leave the wizard's sight in a daze, as if nothing had happened. Even the well-trained Muggle army was the same. They couldn't find the enemy, and they didn't even remember who the enemy was."

"...Let us remember this turning point, the turning point that allowed the continuation of this magical world. Now, let's salute this spell, take out your wands, turn them twice, press them down, and then quickly pick them up, and recite them loudly with me, Aradimobi Uda Ampa, it's that simple."

Although it was already a ghost, it was magical that Professor Binns still had a translucent wand.

But Ino didn't care about these at the moment. He was now practicing the Muggle Repelling Spell meticulously according to Professor Binns' instructions.

"Aradimobi Uda Ampa..."

The light flashed at the top of the elder wand. Although he couldn't see any effect, he had a feeling that the spell had been successfully released.

An ordinary piece of magic history, and a rare magic spell. This kind of unexpected little surprise is really very happy.

Thinking of this, Ino couldn't help but raise his hand, and after getting permission from Professor Binns, he also asked:

"Professor, I have a question. Muggles have cameras, even cameras that can shoot continuously. I mean, if they use cameras to film wizards, wouldn't the Muggle Expelling Curse lose its effect?"

He didn't dare to mention cameras, satellites, and mobile phones. After all, it would be terrifying to challenge an old scholar's cognition.

"Your question...is very interesting!" At this moment, Professor Binns was like an old machine that was being run-in.

"Great, it's been years since anyone asked that question in History of Magic class!"

Professor Binns seemed to be a different person. Not only did he no longer pause when speaking, his voice was even full of energy, although he was still in a translucent ghost state.

"Actually, you can ask me more tricky questions as much as possible, but I have only one answer, and that is, never underestimate a wizard."

When Professor Binns said this, he paused slightly for a moment, then he changed to a confident tone and continued:

"Wizards have a long history, much longer than Muggles. In this long history, we have encountered more serious and dangerous things, so we believe in magic, and magic has not let us down."

"So, whether it's the camera you mentioned, or something more powerful, when a wizard's survival is seriously threatened, there will always be new spells to deal with these things, but there will be suffering and sacrifice in the process."
