Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 40: The boring history of magic


“Well, there is another explanation…” Albert said with a strange expression: “Among Muggles, a group of professional scientists discovered a substance, which is a substance that can catalyze the formation of eggshells. protein, and this protein is only found in the ovaries of chickens. That is to say, if there is no chicken, there is no such protein, then it is impossible to form eggshells, and eggshells are formed, which can protect small The chickens were successfully hatched, so they concluded that the chickens came first, then the eggs.”

After these words, everyone froze immediately, even the little wizards from the Muggle world.

“I know you don’t understand, but someone has verified the chicken first.” Albert explained

“So…” Katrina asked tentatively, “Do you think the phoenix came first and then the fire?”

“No, the magical world is different from the Muggle world.” Albert shook his head and said, “Phoenix and fire, I think it should be a cycle. After the death of the phoenix, it will be reborn from the ashes, and its life will only go on forever. , I think it’s pointless to explore the origin of the Phoenix.”

Katrina raised her eyebrows. Albert’s answer was not bad.

“Amazing, even Ravenclaw students, few can answer the first time.” The Ravenclaw boy behind Albert couldn’t help but praise, “Right, My name is Roger Davis, nice to meet you.”

No way, I have to obey.

Roger Davis had actually been asked questions about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, but got them all wrong.

Most of the Ravenclaw freshmen could not pass the questioning of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. If they wanted to enter and exit the lounge, they always needed to be led by a Ravenclaw senior student, which was very inconvenient.

“I’m curious, why were you assigned to Gryffindor?” Roger Davis asked everyone curious.

“Who knows?”

This concludes the conversation, as Professor Binns walks through the blackboard into the history of magic classroom, which is an eye-opener.

Ten minutes later, all the students in the classroom looked drowsy.

It is not without reason that the history of magic is regarded as the most boring course. Professor Binns always reads the contents of the book in a monotonous voice, and everyone just jots down important names and dates. , even Ravenclaw students could not resist this hypnosis.

Albert is the only one still alive in the classroom, with a candy in his mouth,

I am reading a book seriously, occasionally taking notes on another book.

“It’s unbelievable that you can actually stop Professor Binns from being hypnotized!” After class, the Weasley twins looked at Albert with admiration and put one hand on his shoulder, “Please make sure Lend us a copy of the history of magic notes.”

Lee Jordan has taken the history of magic from his Albert’s hand with a smile.

“What do you think?” Albert rolled his eyes. In the course of the history of magic, he did two things ~IndoMTL.com~ and didn’t let go of taking notes.

To this end, Albert also deliberately upgraded his dual use to level 2.

However, using it to get through the history of magic is really useful, after all, it still takes five years of history class.

“Did you know? Rumors about Professor Cuthbert Binns.”

“What rumors?” The three were immediately attracted to their attention.

“According to a piece of Hogwarts history,” Albert whispered, “Professor Binns didn’t notice that he was dead, at least in the beginning.”

“One day, Professor Binns stood up to go to class, but accidentally left his body in an armchair in front of the fire in the staff lounge. Of course, he was quite old by then.”

“Wow!” All three were surprised. They didn’t expect that the wizard would forever be a professor of history at Hogwarts.

Before the meal, the three had copied the history of magic.

“Do we still have classes this afternoon?” asked George, who couldn’t wait to take a ride on Charlie’s Comet.

“There is another class in the afternoon, which is a transfiguration class.” Li Jordan said regretfully.

Albert muttered, “I’d say this is definitely the easiest class ever!”

Is it easy to have three classes a day?

In other words, British people who don’t pay attention to lunch are all free to eat at this time.

Albert gave up his plan to prepare a sandwich for himself. He hated eating sandwiches all day. After drinking some pumpkin juice and a few stewed potatoes, he ended his lunch hastily.

The twins are going to take advantage of this time to go out for a walk. Albert thinks it should be after the Transfiguration class. After all, they will have enough time and energy at that time. As for the period between lunch and before class, Albert plans to Go to rest in the courtyard of the castle and read a book by the way.

The courtyard is full of students, who gather in groups to chat, and some bring their lunch here to eat.

Hogwarts in September is no longer sultry in summer, not to mention that it rained just yesterday, and the breeze brought the coolness of autumn.

“It would be great if I could make a cushion.” Albert sat on the lawn and couldn’t help but sigh, “I suddenly feel that it is very important to learn transfiguration~IndoMTL.com~ No, no, this is definitely not the case. The reason to learn the Transfiguration class well.” Lee Jordan couldn’t help but complain

“You said, what’s in that forest?” Fred asked suddenly looking at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

“Dumbledore said there were werewolves in it.”

“And the centaurs.”

“There are probably other magical creatures.” Albert continued, “Maybe, the gamekeeper will also keep some strange creatures in the woods.”

Such as the Thestral, the eight-eyed spider, the giant…

“By the way, how’s your phantom spell learning?” George changed the subject. He didn’t plan to go to the Forbidden Forest for the time being. They like to take risks and find excitement, not to die, and werewolves are in the magic world. It can be described as notorious, and it is all over after a bite.

At present, when they can start the night tour is their biggest concern.

“It’s still so fast, it’s not easy to master the illusion.” Albert took out his wand, chanted a spell, and tapped lightly on a fallen leaf.

The color of the surface of the leaf began to change, as if blending into his palm.

“It doesn’t feel the same as I imagined.” Li Jordan scratched his head.

“You may not be able to see it from a distance, but in fact…” Albert shook his head helplessly and said, “If you look closely, you will be immediately noticed.”

“A bit like a chameleon.”

“Its principle is similar to the protective color of a chameleon.” Albert did not directly use the experience pool experience to upgrade the illusion spell, he planned to spend time to explore slowly, and he would have a sense of accomplishment when he mastered it thoroughly.

The learning process is still very important, and only then will it feel like going to school at Hogwarts, and he doesn’t want to miss this experience.

Albert has been preparing to spend two months teaching himself the Disillusionment Charm.
