HP in the name of Slytherin

Although Professor Binns' lectures are boring and his speech is so slow that it makes people panic, he is a teacher who truly loves history and is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If students want to discuss historical issues seriously with him, he will not refuse.

Seeing Sirius raise his hand, Professor Binns said slowly: "Classmate Brian...what's wrong?"

Sirius was stunned for a moment, looked around uncertainly, and said hesitantly: "I am... Sirius Black, Professor Binns?"

Professor Binns squinted his eyes, "Is there a problem... Brian..."

He spoke too slowly. Since he was sure that he was responding to him, Sirius did not dwell on the problem of calling him the wrong name and asked directly: "Many people say that ancient magic has become extinct. Does Professor Binns think it is true?"

This is obviously a wrong view. Not to mention Catherine, Dumbledore also has a small amount of ancient magic.

"This is a...wrong...view..." Professor Binns spoke slowly, and Sirius almost gritted his teeth and forced to listen, "Ancient...magic...cannot be said...to be extinct..."

Because of Sirius' sudden question, many students woke up, thinking they had some new jokes to listen to. However, the professor spoke too slowly. In the end, most of the students in the classroom were gritting their teeth and frowning, as if they could do it with just their own efforts. Tell Professor Binns to speak faster.

"As long as... you can still... use it... and there are people... using it..."

Catherine silently raised her hands.

"Can't... say... extinction..." Professor Binns slowly turned to Catherine, "Miss Slytherin... do you have anything... to... add......"

He did call the right name this time, but unfortunately the whole class was so traumatized that their expressions were dull.

"The reason why there is a saying in modern times that ancient magic has become extinct is because ancient magic is no longer suitable for modern times. Only a very small number of wizards still master a few magic spells, and their magical effects are different from those in ancient times. If you look at it from this perspective, the ancient magic Magic is indeed extinct.”

"Slytherin... plus... five points..." Professor Binns said slowly, "Your... understanding... is... correct... Miss Slytherin..."

Sirius almost couldn't wait to ask: "So the ancient magic Miss Slytherin used is ancient magic?"

Catherine frowned. Sirius was too persistent. It seemed like she had to talk to him alone.

When she was about to speak, Professor Binns slowly raised his hand to stop her.

"Brian... ancient... magic... is no longer... applicable... to modern times..." A rare serious look appeared on his old face, even close to anger.

This is really the first time I have seen it since class.

You know, even if the students in the first row are sleeping, doing other homework, or reading other books, Professor Binns' expression never changes.

"Your Highness Catherine—" A scream suddenly appeared in Catherine's mind.

She was horrified, but she felt that everything was just an illusion. When she thought about it again, she couldn't remember what had just happened.

Obviously nothing happened, but Sirius's stubborn voice was the only one in the classroom: "But I heard Miss Slytherin is still using ancient magic!"

Catherine suddenly had a feeling, a mysterious premonition, that the demise, or transformation, of ancient magic might have something to do with her...and her past...?

"Professor Binns!" Catherine raised her hand.

The anger on Professor Binns' face was already very obvious, but when he turned to Catherine, he calmed down visibly and became his usual self: "What's wrong... Miss Slytherin..."

"How about we assign an assignment?" Catherine said with a smile, "Let's compare the two colleges and explore the evolutionary history from ancient magic to modern magic?"

Professor Binns' transparent and pale face slowly became hollow, and Catherine felt that he had even become paler than before.

Catherine could already confirm her suspicions.

it's OK.

Her eyes softened completely, and there was a little sincerity in her words: "I think it is a very interesting topic. I hope Professor Binns agrees, okay?"

Professor Binns looked at her and slowly lowered his eyes, "If...you want..."

"This is also promoting the relationship between the first years of the two colleges," Catherine said in an exaggerated aria, "in such a peaceful, friendly and knowledge-increasing way."

The Gryffindor student sounded a little strange, unsure, and wanted to think about it more.

It feels like a big essay competition between the two houses...they're not Ravenclaws...

Severus understood Catherine's intentions almost immediately, though he didn't know why... maybe Catherine really just wanted to promote relations between the two houses?

Although it feels like the game is not...

But he immediately used Slytherin's standard sinister tone to irritate Gryffindor: "Miss Slytherin may overestimate the brains of some people. They may prefer simple Quidditch instead of using their brains more." .”

Lily rolled her eyes at her friend cryptically.

Catherine was clearly talking about friendly exchanges, so she felt that this was a good idea. However, when Severus explained it like this, it sounded a little like gunpowder.

"Stop looking down on others. Whatever you Slytherins can do, we Gryffindors will do better!" James slapped the table and stood up. "Not only can we beat you in Quidditch, but we can also beat you in papers!"

Ah, indeed, Gryffindor's motor cells are quite developed.

When James said this, many Gryffindor students became excited. Thinking of their heroic appearance in the academy, they shouted: "That's right! It's just a paper!"

"You write it down before we talk!" Slytherin was not to be outdone.

Miss Slytherin has said it, but they are still standing there dumbfounded. Are they cowardly to the outside world and provocative to the prefect internally?

Not to mention that Slytherin also feels that he will win this time, in terms of written grades, spells, transfiguration... Anyway, as long as they don't get involved in flying lessons and Quidditch, their first year will crush other houses.

So the final class becomes——

Gryffindor: "Let's compete!"

Slytherin: "Come on!"

Catherine hides her merits and fame deeply. She really wants to know what the changes in ancient magic have to do with her. However, she has too much information to check. She will definitely be too busy by herself. It is better to divide it among the first years of the two colleges. Just in case they have nothing to do every day, just thinking about using force to relax and make trouble.

It would be even better if the seniors of the two houses were invited to participate, or other houses could participate... She could go to Gong Gong Huo. Non-violent group activities were an opportunity to enhance understanding and increase feelings. Slytherin House needed to use this kind of method. Rejoin the Hogwarts family in a peaceful and friendly way.

In the three-on-three "practice" a few days ago, three houses faced off against Slytherin before and after she appeared. Catherine had been having a problem in her throat for a long time.

Only Sirius, the one who caused everything, had a look of confusion written all over his handsome face.

He just wanted to ask about ancient magic. Why did he end up studying the evolution from ancient magic to modern magic?
