My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 147 Professor Binns
"After the establishment of Hogwarts by the Big Four, rifts arose due to conflicts of ideas. Although Ms. Helga Hufflepuff was in the middle to mediate, the ideological differences were still difficult to smooth out..."

In the history of magic class, Professor Binns read the courseware of "Hogwarts, a School History" in his unchanging, undulating, and unwavering tone, and the students in the audience fell asleep in unison. Shaking his head, this lesson was attended by Ravenclaw and Slytherin's second-year students. Looking down from the podium, it was like a silver wave of wheat and another green wave of wheat undulating in the wind.

"The biggest differences are between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Slytherin's ideas at that time are quite controversial even today, let alone back then," Teacher Binns said in his non-existent voice. Cough cough, continue to repeat the same lesson plan as it was dozens or hundreds of years ago, "Salazar Slytherin believes that Muggle-born wizards are not trustworthy, everyone turn to page 173 of the textbook, let's see How to understand his own views in his own diary."

"Hey Alphard, I have a question for you."

Tom was dozing off with his chin resting on his hands. After two years of studying the history of magic, he had been able to perfectly perform the rather difficult action of "sleeping quietly and pretending to listen attentively at the table at the same time". When he heard Slater When Lin’s name was called, he slipped his elbow, woke up from the dream in horror, looked around guiltyly, and found that he was listening to the class, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pounded Alphard with his elbow, and spoke in a low voice .

("Although wizards try their best to hide the magic world, there are always some unexpected situations that expose the existence of magic to Muggles, which leads to some legends about magic circulating in the Muggle world. Our tradition of 'witch hunting' has lasted for thousands of years, and Hogwarts was established under such circumstances... At that time, there was no such institution in Britain to protect young wizards, although there were a small number of young wizards who could live in The comfortable life of wizarding families, but there are more wizarding families hidden in Muggle society who live in fear of exposing themselves all day long, not to mention those Muggle-born children...")
"What's the problem?" Alphad, who was woken up by Tom, spoke in a normal voice. He was unusually abrupt among the whispering students in the back row. Everyone around turned their heads to look at him, and even Teacher Binns glanced at him. With a glance, Alphard could only lower his voice and ask in a low voice, "What can you ask me? If you don't know, I certainly don't know... Unless you want to ask my sister—"

"Okay, Alphard," Tom clapped his forehead and explained, "This question has nothing to do with studying, and it has nothing to do with your sister. I want to know if you have been to the Ravenclaw lounge?"

"I've been there, what's the matter? Do you want to go?" Alphard raised his eyebrows, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.

"No, I've been there," Tom declined Alphard's invitation, he flattened his lips, and asked, "Do you know of any way to get to their lounge besides the main entrance?"

"No," Alphard thought about it carefully, "in the Hogwarts secret passages that I know, none of them can lead to any of the lounges of the four houses, they only have one entrance-but I think if If you want to go, you can go through the front door, after all, Ravenclaw will not refuse anyone who can answer the door knocker's question, although there is no fun there."

("Slytherin and Gryffindor were close friends, even the castle of Hogwarts was a manor of the Slytherin family. In the beginning, Hogwarts was not divided into colleges, and the four great wizards were the founders. People have been conscientiously imparting all the knowledge they can-until a big event happened in the young Hogwarts, and people who have lived through that era have not said much about it. For this Hogwarts secret , Our later historical researchers only know that a Muggle-born student cooperated with the Muggle Church at that time to plan an attack against the little wizard, which directly led to the fact that Slytherin, who already pays attention to blood and family, attacked Muggles. The attitude of the born wizard has changed from indifference to disgust, and the specific content of this matter has long disappeared in history, and of course, we will not examine it in the exam.")
"What's there to do in the Ravenclaw's lounge?" Alphard glanced at Mr. Binns and said with longing eyes. "It's just a lounge. If you can find the Slytherin's secret room, it will be amazing." .”

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Tom was taking out a piece of parchment from his schoolbag, and when he heard Alphard's words, he stopped his movements and pricked up his ears.

"That's right, this is also a legend circulating in our family," Alphard said, "In fact, many people have heard of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, which is said to be the dark hand left by Slytherin before he left Hogwarts. Only the heirs of Slytherin can open it, which contains the treasure left by Slytherin and a horrible thing that can 'purify' the school... Although it sounds real, no one has discovered it for so many years, and the previous principals We will not allow such a dangerous thing to exist in the school - it is too fake."

"Sounds like a bedtime story, probably made up by a prefect hundreds of years ago to scare sleepless students," Tom exhaled, and continued to put the empty parchment on the table, "we still Say Ravenclaw, at least realistically."

"What's wrong?" Alphard shrugged.

"Do you think the Ravenclaw lounge has caused inconvenience to others?" Tom put his hand on the table, tapping his index finger rhythmically on the tabletop, and asked persuasively, "I mean, about the door knocker and its problems."

"That thing is really annoying," Alphard shrugged. "When I went last time, I just met Metel at the door. She gave the answer, and I followed behind into the lounge, but I think some questions are too uncommon. When I sent a letter before, I met a guy who seemed to be in a hurry to go back to the dormitory to go to the bathroom, but the nearest bathroom was far away. That day the door knocker asked a very mentally retarded question, which seemed to be 'thermodynamics' What is the content of the second law?" To tell you the truth, I didn't understand a single word, and I guess he did too, the kid was so anxious at the door that he almost solved it immediately."

"How did he end up?" asked Tom curiously.

"He didn't do well in the end," a round-faced boy at the next table turned his head sadly, stared straight at Alphard, and finally stretched out his hand, introducing himself, "I'm Ravenclaw's German White, sorry to meet you in such an awkward situation."

"Uh...sorry, sorry," Alphard scratched his head and apologized, stretched out his hand and shook Dwight, then turned to Tom and said, "Yes, it was him, he was the one who almost wet his pants that day."

"I didn't pee my pants!" Dwight blushed, and his voice was a bit high-pitched, causing the students in the front row to turn their heads to look at him. Dwight's face turned even redder. Behind him, seeing that the people in front had all transferred, he explained to Alphard, "I was in a hurry that day, but the question was too difficult. I was ready to wait 15 minutes for another question, but your college Williams passed by the door and helped me out...Huh? By the way, who else? Why do I feel like I haven’t seen him this semester.”

"He has some business and asked for a long vacation."

Tom explained that the scene fell into silence for a while, until the words "wet your pants" faintly floated in front of you.

Dwight's face turned even redder. Alphard's words were enough to make him socially dead for a few weeks. Thinking that some classmates might say "he peed his pants at the door of the dormitory in the second grade" at the wedding in the future. In this way, he almost fainted with anger.

Alphard kept apologizing, and Tom was lost in thought while listening to Mr. Binns' hypnotic lesson plan.

("The final result is that the Big Four created the Sorting Hat according to their own ideas, and Slytherin's idea of ​​refusing to accept Muggle-born students to protect other young wizards was contrary to the teaching philosophy of the other three, so the castle was left , and left... But in fact, differences have existed since the beginning of the establishment. Gryffindor despises cowards, and Ravenclaw despises fools. Although these views are not as extreme as Slytherin, they have already involved Discrimination, before the conflict happened, they were already favoring students according to their own preferences, so even if that didn't happen, the separation would be a matter of time.")
"Professor, where is Hufflepuff? Why didn't I hear Hufflepuff? What is her favorite character?" A slick blonde Slytherin boy stood up shaking his head and asked loudly, "I heard Hufflepuff The wizards who graduate from Chippa are doing the lowest jobs, and they also get the worst grades in school, so does she like stupid people?"

The whole classroom suddenly fell silent, malicious laughter came from around the boy and from sporadic corners in the classroom, Tom glared forward in disgust, the blond boy greeted left and right quite complacently, turned his head to face Tom With unfriendly eyes, he immediately lowered his head and sat down obediently.

"Your question is asked by people who think they are smart every year." Teacher Binns' tone was as cold as his ghost body, and he said, "I have worked in Hogwarts for many, many years. I can count on one hand the people who listened carefully to the lectures, and most of them are students like you who forget the next week after finishing the lecture last week. If Hufflepuff’s standards are as you said, then it should recruit You are right."

Tom couldn't help applauding Mr. Ghost's wonderful speech. Only then did he know that ghosts also have emotions. Professor Binns changed the subject, and then said, "I always feel that the school history is more important than the first year. As appropriate, let me answer it again for you: Helga Hufflepuff took all the little wizards who wanted to study but were rejected by the other three colleges, and taught them without reservation, She has practiced teaching without discrimination all her life. Most of the wizards born in Hufflepuff are hard-working, honest, and people who love life. If you look it up, you will find that there are even more great wizards than other The three colleges add up to more."

The students around started whispering again, and the blond boy closed his mouth resentfully, but Teacher Binns' emotions disappeared immediately, and he returned to his old gramophone-like state every day, and continued: "Okay, let's Let's get out of those boring arguments and explore the real, thick history."

"It's really thick."

Three minutes later, looking at the students around him who had regained their drowsiness, Tom sighed.

"Yes," Alphard yawned, and said, "You said that I know the significance of holding the Triwizard Tournament jointly with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang after Hogwarts was founded 300 years ago? Really? Same question as those idiots at the door of the Ravenclaw lounge."

"I think so," Dwight is a warm-hearted good man. He has chosen to forgive after Alphard's repeated apologies. He is now moving a stool and sitting over, nodding in approval, and said, "It would be great if that door knocker could shut up. I think my campus life can be at least half happy."

"Is it okay if the door knocker is gone?" Tom raised his eyebrows and snorted softly, "Is it only you who think so?"

"How is it possible? Ravenclaw has been working hard on the door knocker for a long time. There are not a few students who were blocked at the door when there was an urgent matter like mine. Among other things, they forgot to bring their books back to pick it up in class because the door knocker was late. Ravenclaw deducted a lot of points," Dwight asked the surrounding Ravenclaws confidently, "if the door knocker is replaced with the password of other colleges, would you be willing?"

They are so willing, although some people think that the door knocker represents the IQ suppression of Ravenclaws on other college students, but this thing is really inconvenient.

"Very well, I've done the poll." Tom put a piece of paper back in his arms, and Alphard looked at it, which looked like a counting form.

"What's that?" he asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Tom raised his lips, looked through the classroom window, looked in the direction of the Ravenclaw tower, and said mysteriously, "I'm going to do something big."

"What's the big deal?"

"A very good thing." Tom shook his head and said nothing more.

"What's the big deal? Is Nelson coming back to help me with my homework?" Alphard continued to ask, but all Tom left him was "sleeping quietly while sitting at the table pretending to listen carefully".

After perhaps half a century, the bell finally rang. Looking at the students who woke up one after another, Mr. Binns said helplessly, "History is the most precious wealth of mankind..."

The words were quickly drowned out in the noisy crowd that squeezed out of the classroom. Professor Binns shook his head and left through the blackboard. No one could hear the question hidden in the ellipsis.
