Chapter 103 Professor Binns
Mrs. Pince is a strict, disciplined Hogwarts librarian.She was almost always in the library, guarding the books she cherished and watching the students who used them.

She would often ask them about their access to the library, and therefore summed up a set of her unique people-watching skills. Many new students or students who don't come often, she can see the purpose of these people coming to the library at a glance.

Also very carefully inspect every book they lend for damage.She can't stand any violation of the rules.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Holding her book, Hermione reluctantly walked out of the library under Mrs. Pince's surveillance, and then looked at Ed standing at the door with a reproachful face.

Ed scratched his head and replied embarrassedly: "I'm not excited. Why did you think of tidying up your own..."

Ed said, then pretended to have long hair and fiddled with the air.

"Hmph, Miss Ben is willing." Hermione hugged her book and walked in front of her.And Ed followed behind Hermione, after all, Hermione hadn't told him the secret of O in History of Magic.

"Hermione, you haven't told me about the history of magic."

Hermione stopped when she heard Ed's words, and put her finger on her lips: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot."

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to stick out his tongue, then pursed his lips and walked to the nearest bench to sit down.

"I read about Professor Binns in a student diary in the library, but I dare not check whether it is true or not.

If true, maybe it can help you. "

When Hermione spoke, she raised her neck and looked left and right. After finding that no one was paying attention, she continued to speak in a low voice:
"Ed, have you read "Hogwarts—A School History"?"

Ed nodded. This book is about the establishment of the school by the four founders of Hogwarts.

Almost every British wizarding household has a copy.

"Then you should also know that Professor Binns in the book is a professor who gives humorous lectures and is very popular with students."

Having said that, Hermione paused, looked into Ed's eyes, and recalled the contents of the book to him.Afterwards, Ed nodded, agreeing with Hermione's statement.

"Then let's continue, but what does our current Professor Binns look like?"

Recalling Professor Binns' class, even the studious Hermione showed a disgusted expression:

"Uninteresting, boring, and lethargic."

Ed, who slept through every History of Magic class, agreed with Hermione.

"Then have you ever wondered why Professor Binns became like this?"

An excited smile appeared on Hermione's face, just like when an adventurer tells a shocking secret in a tavern.Not only I am excited, but the people around me are also excited.

And Ed's expression of frowning and shaking his head made Hermione very dissatisfied, but her desire to tell a story outweighed her dissatisfaction with Ed, so she didn't care about it for the time being:
"In that diary, Professor Binns' transformation from humorous to boring and boring is written. It says... No, I have to let you see for yourself!"

Speaking of this, Hermione closed her mouth, stuffed her book into Ed's four-dimensional pocket, and dragged him to the library.

After walking to the door, he poked his head in quietly, but did not see Mrs. Pince.

Hermione was overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged Ed to the library area.

Running all the way to the depths of the library, all the students sitting here are grades [-] and [-], and they are facing various exams.

And on the bookshelves here, there are all kinds of examination materials left by the "predecessors".

"I came here by accident, I didn't expect it."

Hermione slid her fingertips along the spine of the book according to her memory, looking for the diary: "Here."

Hermione pulled out a diary wrapped in brown paper and shook it at Ed.

The two found an empty table, sat together, and opened the diary.

The title page of the diary should have been the owner's name, but it was torn off by someone.

The original second page became the first page instead.

The writing is beautiful, not cursive, but every letter in every word is connected together, as if written in one stroke.The spacing between words is also just right, which makes people look comfortable.

"The front is not interesting. It's just some trivial things that happen in daily life. Just look here."

Hermione flipped through the paper quickly, and finally pointed to:
"Professor Binns will have a class tomorrow. I like him so much. Although he is a ghost, he is better than any other professor. Every time he talks, it is like listening to a story, which makes people feel immersive.

He will also use the Appearance Charm, let us see the four founders of the school, the Slytherin headmaster is really handsome!
I'm already looking forward to tomorrow. "

This is the end of the diary. After Ed finished reading it, Hermione said, "From the contents of the diary, you should know how popular Professor Binns was back then."

Ed nodded again, agreeing with Hermione.

"Then let's keep reading." After Hermione turned back a few pages in the diary, Ed found that the words seemed not as neat as before, as if the owner of the words wrote it in a very tired situation:

"XXX (should be a person's name, but the owner of the diary wrote it out and then obliterated it) left today, and it is said that he went to the United States.

After XXX left, Professor Binns was obviously very shocked. He didn't tell a story today, but just talked about the contents of the History of Magic textbook according to the script.

Anyway, Professor Binns they are innocent.It's because they themselves are so self-righteous, they are already in the fourth grade, and they actually think that the Clear Water is Like a Spring Curse can extinguish the Fierce Fire Curse.

Hope they rest in peace in heaven. "

The diary didn't record anything about the owner's life until here, and all the records behind it were about the content of the OWLs exam at that time.

"Okay, don't read it, there is nothing about Professor Binns in the back." Hermione closed the diary: "We can see that during a certain period of time at Hogwarts, a very serious incident happened. accident.

A few students tried to extinguish Fiendfire with the Clear Water Curse, and failed.The result was several deaths, a student transfer, and Professor Binns' temperamental change. "

Ed agreed with Hermione, but: "What does this have to do with my History of Magic class?"

Ed spread his hands, indicating that what happened so many years ago has nothing to do with who he is now.What's more, Professor Binns has not recovered from his grief for so many years. It is unrealistic to expect him to comfort him and cheer him up again.

I haven't studied the psychology of ghost behavior, and I can't comfort him.

Hermione stood up, picked up the diary, and said to Ed: "This is just to let you know why Professor Binns is boring. The next one is the focus."
