Chapter 24 History of Magic is an Excellent Course
There are so many impressive things in student life, but when viewed in the entire student career, they are just embellishments.
But what really runs through the entire student life is one course after another...
The reason why Andrew was able to think of these inscrutable things in class was entirely because of the professor above...well, he originally wanted to use the word "old", but in the end he thought about it for a long time and couldn't describe it.
To put it simply, their professor is dead.
This is not a description of a murder, but of a scene from a past day in which the professor is currently a ghost.
And it seems that this professor intends to continue working in this position, and the school has no plans to replace him.
The most important thing is that in terms of teaching quality, what this professor taught... was so lucid that it put people to sleep.
Under the influence of the professor's superb skills in reading aloud from textbooks and the dizzy late summer sunshine, many students who had not had time to relax after the summer vacation politely tried to have an intimate date with the table. .
Since there was no brave person to test whether sleeping would lead to points being deducted, Andrew still tried hard to identify the relationship between the characters in the History of Magic textbook.
But unfortunately, this doesn't work very well - and the tragic thing is that even though his History of Magic textbook is a second-hand book, it is still as new as a French weapon from World War II, and there is no fun in it.
After several attempts, he could only use traditional techniques to insert characters into history textbooks.
This is not difficult. First, insert your favorite character. Considering the task of submitting the manuscript next month, Andrew decisively inserted Gryffindor as the protagonist. As for how the editor changed it, I'm sorry, he didn't know about it, and he didn't know the serialized book. author.
The timeline problem is also simple, dragon veins, moonlight treasure box, a cellar that can travel through, a few special stars, a dark wizard's curse, a river in a certain valley, etc. Due to his excellent reading ability, Andrew has many skills. Lanffindor sent a method that took time.
So it's a lot of fun. It's much easier to find major historical events in orthodox history textbooks than in fairy tales.
If there is a clear protagonist, it is said that Gryffindor is the grandfather behind the scenes. If there is no clear protagonist, it is said that Gryffindor cannot bear to see the tragedy, and then conceals his identity and takes action.
Then he had fun - digging out interesting events and stuffing them into them.
'Be careful, Andrew. The bottom line in the history of magic is that you can't fail! ’
After persuading himself several times, Andrew successfully came up with the outline of next month’s book.
But Andrew, who was so excited, caught the attention of Kevin next to him, "What happened, you sneaked the magazine in?"
"A very interesting beetle appeared in my book, and I was drawing his path with a pen."
Andrew had already made 17 or 18 preparation plans for this, just to prevent others from trying to read what he was writing.
However, Kevin's answer was completely unexpected.
"Play with me."
No, you are crazy!
Andrew couldn't stand it anymore - this excuse was boring enough, could this lesson be more boring than beetles?
Okay, yes…
"It has flown away," Andrew murmured softly. "It seems that it is bored enough."
"puff…"
Kevin almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but Professor Binns had no intention of looking over. It seemed that as long as the classroom didn't suddenly collapse, he could finish reading the book firmly and leave after class.
‘This may be a very interesting research direction, but unfortunately I don’t have any extra time to do it. ’
Andrew shook his head slightly, turned over a page in his notebook, and then began to sort out the relationship diagrams of the main characters and events on the pages that this lesson was mainly about. This was just a remedial measure to ensure that he would pass - but with the course being like this, he could only remediate his grades in this way.
Before Professor Binns finished class, Andrew tapped the page on which he had taken notes with his wand. After it fell, he inserted it into the pages of this class, preparing to glue it on during the weekend.
When Professor Binns finished his explanation, Andrew obviously heard a small cheer. He looked at his roommate and found that the tallest Bell had already fallen asleep.
Professor Binns, who did not follow the ghost path, left the classroom in an upright manner, almost walking. If you ignore the professor's translucent body, then he is no different from an old professor who is about to retire.
Therefore, until they were sure that the professor had left, the students raised the tone, called out those who needed to be called out, and chatted with those who needed to.
"I'm going to the library to check. Do you have anyone with you?"
"You didn't have a meeting? Oh, by the way, you passed..."
Hughes, the thinnest boy in Andrew's dormitory, was stunned for a moment, and then answered by himself.
"I'm fine, why don't you go take a look... I haven't been to the library yet, how about you?"
"Assessment..."
"Same."
"See you later."
The five people said goodbye to each other, and Andrew and Hughes walked towards the library.
"You seem to be quite interested in the history of magic, Andrew, that's great, but it's a pity that Professor Binns doesn't seem to be very good at it."
Careful?
Andrew was embarrassed to say what he had done, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Anyway, I really like it. The history of magic is really good. My dad is a Muggle, but he is very interested in history. He always told me that history will tell us where we come from and how many mistakes we have made in the past. "
…
Come on, true history buffs, Andrew decided not to reveal what crazy thing he had done.
Fortunately, there is still something to talk about.
"Oh my god... I can't imagine how he would react when he found out that your mother was a wizard and that the wizarding world really existed."
"I also thought he would be shocked, but it turned out not to be. After he was shocked, he felt that many unexplained historical mysteries could be explained."
Hughes smiled, "But he was disappointed after his mother told him not to reveal the existence of the wizarding world. After knowing that I was coming to Hogwarts, he asked me to combine the history of the wizarding world with the history of the Muggle world. Get up and discover what is hidden."
"There's just one thing," Hughes said with a distressed look on his face, "I really don't know how to tell him that our History of Magic professor's ability is really..."
The adjectives that followed were swallowed back, but Andrew himself felt the same way.
"If you don't want to disappoint your family, it's better to say that the professor is a real but inarticulate witness to history. For this professor, most of history is daily life."
"Wow, that's so cool," Hughes's eyes lit up, "This completely matches his imagination of magic!"
