Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 22 History of Magic and Herbalism

Maureen thought that among all the courses, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by Francis was the most boring, but he finally found that there was another class that was more boring than the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The dry and boring voice of Professor Binns of History of Magic was like a lullaby, successfully hypnotizing many new students on the first day.

"Do you think he still remembers that he died?" Lily looked at the transparent Professor Binns on the podium. This class was taught by a ghost teacher. He was different from other ghosts. Other ghosts like to go through walls. And he opened the door solemnly and walked in, looking very formal.

"Who knows, everyone says that Professor Binns is the longest-tenured professor at Hogwarts, with the oldest qualifications and the oldest age. He should be very experienced in teaching the history of magic." Molin said affirmatively.

Hugo was snoring softly beside him, he had already fallen asleep.

"As we all know, the changes in the history of magic have allowed the wizarding world to continue to develop. There are many eras with different backgrounds in history. The wizarding calendar is from 1300 to 1470. We call it the era of longevity magic. During this period, many great pioneers appeared. They all Exploring the mysteries of death, attempting to break through and defeat death, such as the Philosopher’s Stone created by the legendary French alchemist Nicole LeMay, and the stone arch created by Lars Cage, who is known as the messenger of death, to communicate with the past and the afterlife. There is also the method of the soul warlock. Duran created the magic of eternal soul, and the mummy soul returning technique created by ancient Egyptian wizards. We have already talked about these last semester, so today we will continue to talk about how to evaluate the magic civilization created by the era of longevity magic... "

Professor Binns spoke a lot of difficult words. Because it was the first class, everyone consciously recorded them in their notebooks. However, the last sentence surprised many people.

Lily raised her hand and said, "Professor, we are freshmen, we didn't go to school last semester."

Professor Binns raised his head, glanced at everyone, his eyes looked a little puzzled, and then he suddenly nodded and said: "Oh, yes. I forgot, this is the content of the fourth grade. You are freshmen, and you should start from the origin of wizards. At the beginning, I took the wrong lesson plan."

Everyone looked at the notes they had taken dumbfoundedly. I dare to say that Professor Binns said a lot before, but everyone still remembered it so seriously.

Professor Binns then began to talk about the origin of magic. He said that the first person who discovered magic was called Wand. One day he met a black dragon in the forest. Wand picked up a branch and fought the black dragon, but it was not The black dragon opponent, just when the black dragon was about to eat Weng De, a piece of unicorn hair fell on the branch in Weng De's hand, Weng De shouted a word in desperation, so the branch emitted a ray of light, defeated black dragon.For the rest of his life, Weng De studied the special situation of the combination of unicorn hair and branches, and invented the first magic wand. This is the origin of magic and the origin of the wand (Wand).

"The origin of the wand is too hasty!" Lily looked at her wand in surprise, it was hard to imagine that the first wand and the first spell came from this way.

"How do you expect our wizard's wand to be invented? Like the old wand, is it made by death from the elderberry? That is the magic story of the three brothers." Molin said, his grandfather told him about the three brothers when he was a child Stories about the origin of the Deathly Hallows, including the most powerful wand in the world, are familiar to children born in wizarding families.

Lily flipped through the book and asked, "Then Mr. Wunder's sentence should be the first spell in the history of magic. The book doesn't say what this spell is."

"Maybe it's frozen three feet! Lily." Hugo said with a smirk.

"Oh, shut up!" said Lily.

Professor Binns didn't say what the spell was. He had already started to talk about how Mr. Wunder used his wand to start a fire, but because of improper control, it caused a forest fire, but everyone seemed uninterested in these things, even if this In a fire, a plant that does not catch fire was found, and everyone thought it was no big deal.

Although Professor Francis of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is as good as Professor Binns in class, at least when Professor Francis is in class, no one dares to sleep. The awe and fear of death makes everyone have to listen carefully.And Professor Binns just read the textbook and didn't ask any questions when he was lecturing. He didn't need to worry about anything, so everyone was naturally more relaxed.

If there is any class that Maureen looks forward to the most, it is undoubtedly the herbal class, because the teacher of the herbal class is Professor Longbottom, who drew Gryffindor's sword from the sorting hat in the battle with Voldemort 21 years ago and killed Voldemort A Horcrux, who became a legend in the wizarding world.

All the freshmen are looking forward to his class, even Muggle-born students have heard many rumors about Professor Longbottom from others, and can't wait to know how this brave Professor Neville Longbottom is. a character.

Neville was thin and tall, his face was a little pale, his wizard robe was stained with a lot of mud, and he was holding a bucket in his hand, looking nervously at the new students.

"Well, everyone, I'm your herbal medicine teacher, you can call me Professor Longbottom." Neville's voice didn't sound very confident, and his smile seemed unnatural.

"Uncle Neville gets nervous when he sees new students. How can he actually say that? He gets nervous when he sees strangers." Hugo said quietly.

"Shut up, Hugo, we have to call him Professor Longbottom at school." Lily glared at Hugo.

Neville took out a list of students from his pocket: "We are going to the Fifth Greenhouse later, you have to learn from the most basic herbal medicine, first take a roll call."

They had herbal medicine class with the Slytherin students again, and Maureen saw Carlo's annoying face in the crowd again. At this time, Carlo was pointing fingers at Neville with his classmates. , and sneered contemptuously from time to time.

"The Gryffindor students are all here, very good, and then the Slytherin students, Newfern Iman... well, um - Carlo Lestrange." Neville pointed When he came to this name, he suddenly paused and frowned.

Carlo raised his head lazily: "Here we are, Professor Longbottom."

Neville stared at Carlo, a strange wave suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Does Professor Longbottom know Carlo?" Maureen looked at Neville strangely, and Neville looked a little bit wrong.

Hugo looked at Neville incomprehensibly: "Impossible, he also knows me and Lily, and he didn't say much during the roll call just now."

Lily hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Carlo's aunt is Bellatrix, remember? I heard from my father that Professor Longbottom's parents were tortured by Death Eater Bellatrix. St. Mungo's Hospital."

Maureen looked at Neville in surprise, then at Carlo with a contemptuous face, and understood why Neville stopped when he said Carlo's name, it turned out to be the reason!
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my name?" Carlo dragged his annoying tone, and after a while he added: "Professor."

Neville took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "No, next one, Siri Clinton..."

After he finished reading the rest of the names, he led everyone towards the greenhouse.Carlo deliberately stayed at the back, away from Neville, said something to his companion in a low voice, and then let out a burst of ridicule.

"He must be talking about Uncle Neville's parents, this dirty bastard." Hugo said through gritted teeth.
