The man behind Hogwarts

"She suddenly gave me a book about divination. Could it be that she intended to guide me in divination?"

As early as the beginning of class, William knew that the professor in front of him also liked divination, but he did not ask him for knowledge in this area.

Can the other party not be able to bear it anymore today...

"Good professor."

He opened the book, and instead of trying to understand the specific meaning of the book, he asked about the Proto-Indo-European language.

For the wizarding world, Proto-Indo-European is a very important language. For any wizard who intends to conduct magic research and delve into the field of magic, Proto-Indo-European is a necessary ability.

The reason the language was lost was that it was too complex.

But the reason wizards love it is also because it's complex.

Because the more complex it is, the more words it has, the more accurately it can describe what magic looks like. In this regard, it is much higher than English.

And many ancient books are also written in Proto-Indo-European.

No matter what, there is no disadvantage in learning this language.

"Professor, I have always heard that ancient magic script is difficult. Compared with Proto-Indo-European, which one of the two is more difficult."

"There is no doubt that the ancient magic texts are more difficult." She blurted out and added: "The ancient magic texts are not only difficult, they are simply very difficult."

"Oh, so do you know ancient magic texts?"

Sinistra shook his head slightly: "I can't say I can, I just know a little bit."

Seeing William's interest, she continued.

“The difficulty factors of Proto-Indo-European and ancient magic script are different.”

"The difficulty of Proto-Indo-European lies in its complexity. It has a wide vocabulary, and each word has a precise definition. It is rare that a word is used more than once. For wizards with poor memory, this language is difficult .”

"But ancient magic texts are definitely more difficult."

"Its vocabulary is far less than that of Proto-Indo-European. Why is it more difficult? Because ancient magic script itself is a powerful language."

William chuckled, "A powerful language?"

It used to be difficult to just understand ancient magic texts, but unexpectedly there is such a section.

A language actually says it has power in itself...

It deserves to be said to be a magical world.

"That's right." Sinista nodded: "The ancient magic texts are not so much linguistics as they are the embodiment of various magics."

"For example, there is a magic text with the word "water" in the ancient magic text. It is just a simple symbol, but if you want to remember it, learn it, and be able to write it, you must have a high level of knowledge in water magic."

"If you can really master the magic text, then just by writing it out, the magic text will have magical power."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder wizards attach so much importance to ancient magic texts.

"Professor, can you write a magical text with power?"

"It's a pity that I haven't learned it after studying for many years." She said frustratedly: "Maybe Professor Babling can do it."

Professor Babling is a teacher at Hogwarts who specializes in teaching ancient runes.

Ancient runes are also called ancient runes.

After listening to the narration, William felt more understanding of the mysterious world of magic.

From Sinista's mouth, I also learned what the real ancient magic text was.

Just writing and reading the magic words is just a beginner; only by exerting the true magical power of the magic words can one be called knowing the magic words.

She can write and read, but she cannot exert the magical power of the magic text.

After learning Proto-Indo-European for two hours, William said goodbye and left, agreeing to continue next time.

Back at the Gem Club office, Evelin and the three of them were there. When they saw William entering, they quickly pulled him over.

"William, start the review quickly, I can't wait." Evelin looked at William with interest.

"Okay." He nodded and said, "Bring out the papers of the people you invite."

The three of them each took out a few notebooks.

Evelin invited three people each, plus Fred who was invited by William.

There are papers written by ten people in total.

Cast the copying spell on the ten papers one by one, and copy each book into four copies, "come one by one."

Place the papers in the center of a round table, have three people sit around the round table, and distribute them one by one.

“Before the review, let’s talk about the review method. This will be followed every time we recruit new people in the future.”

"First of all, there is the confidentiality requirement. No matter whose paper we read, it can only be discussed within ourselves and must not be disclosed to outsiders. This is to protect the privacy of the contributors."

"Secondly, the four of us vote together, and we need to explain the reasons for the result when voting."

"at last,……"

When he finished speaking, the three of them nodded in unison.

They have known each other for a long time and are all familiar with William's acting style, being serious when they should be serious.

"First of all, it's the person Evelyn invited: Ariel Banjo. Huh? A second-year Ravenclaw?"

Focusing his attention on her: "She is actually a second-year student, why did you invite her?"

Evelin raised her eyebrows proudly: "Ariel really wants to join us, and she is a good fit for our club, so of course we invited her."

Fran nodded slightly: "She is indeed good."

After hearing his words, everyone understood that this Ariel was indeed good. To be praised by Fran, she must be an excellent student, but she was definitely not as good as Fran.

Fran will never appreciate someone who is better than him, unless that person is so powerful that he has no confidence to surpass him.

Then read the paper.

After a few minutes, Cedric pointed out two problems with the paper; Fran also pointed out an inconvenience.

Fortunately, these questions are only subsections and do not affect the core idea of ​​the overall paper.

After voting, it was agreed to pass the review.

An hour later, all ten papers were finally reviewed.

Only three people finally passed the review, one recommended by Fran: Ian James (third-year Slytherin); one recommended by Cedric: Trina Grace (third-year Hufflepuff) ); one person recommended by Evelin: Ariel Banjo (second-year Ravenclaw).

The people invited by several people were all students in a higher grade than themselves.

William knew this reason very well. They thought highly of their own intelligence and found it difficult for their peers to follow them.

The failed paper was actually not bad, and it was an excellent piece of work among students of the same level, but in the eyes of the four members of the club, it was unavoidable that they were not satisfied with it.

The club pursues an elite strategy and emphasizes shortage rather than excess.

As expected, Fred was dismissed.

William heard him say that he had spent two weeks in the library preparing for this paper, and he was confident that he would pass it.

Now it seems that just soaking for a long time is not enough.

"Okay, the results have come out. You will each notify them and hand over the galleons to those who pass."

"it is good."

Those who pass the review will receive a reward of 5 galleons.

William suddenly remembered: "Why is there still no one from Gryffindor joining..."
