Learn Magic at Hogwarts

When Noah returned to the lounge after eating and drinking, Monty and the others were still playing the crackling and exploding card game persistently.

Noah was even invited to join in.

"Okay, let's treat it as an after-meal digestion." Noah nodded and agreed.

So soon, other people felt what it meant to be "crushed".

The rules of the game they play are very simple. All the cards are buckled on the table, and each person takes turns to turn over the cards in pairs.

There are five players, and a total of 160 four cards, that is to say, a total of 82 pairs.

This is quite a large number.

But the Slytherins are always very confident in their own excellence, they are confident that they can memorize a lot of cards, and besides the two first-year students, the other two senior students also want to meet the already famous genius Noah.

Well, although the bombed person will not be injured, his face will definitely be black.

But after seven laps, only Noah's face was still fair, and the faces of the others were more or less covered with black smoke.

Noah took a look at the cards that already had a lot of blank positions on the table, and quickly determined which other cards had pairs.

Yes, he has memorized all the cards.

Warrington flipped over two cards again, but the two cards exploded directly at his fingertips the moment he flipped them over. He sighed in disappointment: "I've flipped out everything I remember."

Noah glanced at the table: "There are still three pairs of cards, the probability is very small, do you still plan to play?"

The others were taken aback, and turned to look at Noah.

There are still 24 cards that have been deducted on the table. How many cards were blown up during this period, and they forgot which suits were blown up. Most of the remaining cards are impossible to pair, but... why can Noah accurately report the cards? number?

Glancing at the shocked expressions of the others, Noah stretched out his hand speechlessly, and simultaneously flipped over a pair of cards with both hands.

It is a pair, and the patterns on it are two identical wands.

Wands are the most difficult combination to remember because so many wands look alike, it's extremely difficult to pin them down.

And the one Noah opened... didn't blow up!

Noah flipped the two cards over, and then turned over the second pair, which were two snuffers holding gems.

Then came a third pair, two Quaffles with identical depictions.

"No more." Noah withdrew his hand, "It's over."

As his words fell, all the remaining cards were automatically turned over in unison, and swept away, except for these three pairs, there were really no other identical cards.

Warrington opened his mouth: "Have you memorized all the cards?"

Noah said as a matter of course: "Isn't this the basic gameplay of this game?"

other people:"……"

This is 160 four!

"I have a deck of cards myself." Noah didn't think it was a big deal, "a total of 640 cards."

The most complete card pattern!

Every time a new pattern is released, he will buy it.

When alone, this kind of game is the best game to pass the time.

"...Okay, okay." The two senior wizards responded with a nana, and left in a daze.

Is this a genius?

"Restore as before." Noah cast a repair spell with his wand to restore all the exploded cards, and planned to leave.

This group of guys are too good, he might as well play with himself.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Noah already deeply disliked him.

……

The next afternoon, Slytherin and Ravenclaw attend History of Magic.

This course, recognized as the "dullest", teaches the history of the wizarding world before the 19th century and does not require the actual use of magic.

So this class is purely a history class without any technical content at all, although the fact that the professor is a "ghost" shocked many students.

Professor Cuthbert 1 Binns is a very old professor. It is said that his teaching history can be traced back to the beginning of the Hogwarts school. It is said that the professor was very old when the school was first established. , because of his profound knowledge, quick thinking, and clear thinking, he was invited to be a professor of the history of magic.

Until one day, the elderly professor forgot to take his body with him when he got up to go to class after taking a nap in the lounge.

However, death did not stop the professor from continuing his teaching career, and Professor Binns thus became the only ghost professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

According to the seniors, whether the professor knew that he was dead is still open to question. Although he occasionally entered the classroom directly through the wall, the professor never talked about his death.

However, Professor Binns himself is not an interesting professor. He looks old and cheers, with a pair of small and thick glasses. He has no emotion at all when he lectures, but he looks like a "buzzing" reading machine.

Well, even Ravenclaw wouldn't deny that.

This shows how boring this class is.

As the rumors said, Professor Binns didn't intend to call names at all. He sat on his seat and began to flip through his old magic history book: "Let me see, we should... "

He said that he suddenly realized that this was the first class of the freshmen: "Ah, I almost forgot, you are in the first year, right. I think it's Slytherin and Ravenclaw."

All the little wizards nodded.

Professor Binns nodded, pushed his glasses, lowered his head and continued to flip through the book: "Then let's start from the very beginning."

……

The history of the magic world began around 900 at the earliest. At that time, Europe, that is, the Muggle society, hated wizards extremely. This situation forced the most talented wizards at that time to stay away from Muggles and set up a wizard training school. decision.

The four founders of Hogwarts: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin.

Together they founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and also divided various houses under their respective names.

But then the three founders had differences because of their ideas, and after the conflicts gradually intensified, Slytherin left the academy.

Around 1290, the three major magic schools in Europe—Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang—created a friendly competition—the Triwizard Tournament, which is held every five years.

Well, after that is a long historical event.

The birth of the great wizard Nicole Mailer, the Quidditch World Cup held, the promulgation time of various laws, the Hogwarts major event list and so on.

It's really boring, like a Muggle history class.

Noah listened to it very interesting at first, but he soon discovered that Professor Binns was not telling a story at all, but could not help but feel bored after stating the history in a calm manner
