Chapter 299 Ancient Magic
“Just leave a note for your files, Professor Black.”
Andrew quickly wrote a fairly formal document, and then asked Sirius to sign and keep it.
When Sirius returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to glare at the Sorting Hat.
“Is there really no way?”
"Where did I come from!"
The Sorting Hat, who had been pretending to be dead on the table, returned to his previous appearance and was no longer aloof.
"I am a hat blessed by the Big Four and approved to read students' tendencies to be sorted. I am not a hat that teaches people evil magic like Occlumency!"
It was angry! Drum replied to Andrew, watching Dumbledore teach Legilimency, it prepared some Legilimency skills - those are skills that even Albus could not master, and they were all honed over time!
But the guy in front of me didn't appreciate it. After the great Sorting Hat took the initiative to reveal the reward, he actually asked for the Occlumency to be replaced!
Does this provocative guy know what stupid things he is saying?
He doesn’t want to think about what is the most annoying thing about a handsome and tall hat!
Of course it's the damn Occlumency that makes Hat hate it!
"Okay, then I'll learn some Legilimency skills, please, I'll go shopping in the afternoon."
"That's right," the Sorting Hat laughed - finally pulling it back. This can't fall into evil ways.
It is still waiting for its appearance!
The legendary Dumbledore is going back to school, so why is there no line about the handsome hat! If you don't count on that, buy some books...well, buying some books is actually necessary.
After all, Albus said, Muggles have developed a lot.

“I’m back, Professor Binns.”
Sirius rushed back with Harry.
He was really anxious - it would be too torture to go back and live for a while. He hoped that his life these days would be enough to satisfy the ancient magic.
"Then let's check that magic."
Professor Binns floated over, looked at Sirius and nodded, and then put his hand on Harry's shoulder.
In less than a minute, the professor took away his hand and said, "I'm satisfied. The effect is even better than I expected. What have you done that makes the other party seem to recognize you very much?"
< br>
"Huh?"
Harry opened his mouth wide. He really couldn't imagine what the family did besides happily collecting money.
You know, even the previous Christmas gifts were all obtained by Hedwig using her own attacks in the past.
He told the truth, Professor Binns was noncommittal, "Will you still pay next year?"
"Well, I'm afraid they will have other ideas if they take too much at once."
"That's good, that's it. The protective magic is maintained very well."
Professor Binns nodded and confirmed this.
"Professor," Sirius asked with little hesitation and concern. It was about Harry and he couldn't be careless. "You seem to know a lot about this magic?"
"Yes. ," Professor Binns nodded, "Because it's what I mentioned. This is one of the magics I collected back then."
"But my mother?"
Harry couldn't understand. In his memory, Professor Binns' classes were dull and boring, and his homework was boring... Why would he collect such magic?
And, how did mom get this kind of magic?
"I taught her a lot of magic. She is really an excellent wizard, very good. Over the years, I have only seen a few hundred wizards who can compare with her. , but there are not many people with a background like hers."
"There are fewer geniuses like Dumbledore, and the research direction was actually decided when he was in school, and the ones who are slightly worse are like her. The wizard has roughly determined what he wants to study. Only she, because she has no family tradition, can only learn a little here and a little there. "
Professor Binns' eyes were full of memories, " There are countless students who love the history of magic, and there are many students who can accept my research pace, but well, there are very few people who are as good as her and are willing to spend time studying in depth.”
Sirius opened his mouth wide - Merlin's beard, wasn't he a first-year student?
Why didn't he feel anything at that time?
Yes, Lily was welcomed by all the professors, but Professor Binns - didn't everyone pay attention at the time?
"So I taught her some spells, which are from all random eras, but they are not the history of magic. I don't know what they are exactly. They are just some records I made personally."< br>
"But, Professor, me?" Sirius felt a little bit shocked. He always felt that he was really awesome to be recognized, but had Lily even recognized Professor Binns before?
"Of course you are far behind. You fell asleep in the first period of class." Professor Binns nodded, "But later I really liked the history of magic, and I was responsible in class, so I barely passed."
"But Hermione..."
Harry didn't know why he thought of his best friend - the other person had never been recognized.
"She? Granger? She doesn't like History of Magic, she just wants to get first place. As for you, you seem to have fallen asleep for a while in the third period..."
Harry felt his face flush.
"That's it, you go back and pack your things and tidy up the house."
Professor Binns nodded, but did not mention the magic spells he collected.
——
"Mom...Does Professor Libbins think she is excellent?"
"Of course, Lily is the witch that all the professors like."
Sirius said with great confirmation.
"But it's not surprising that Professor Binns gave it to me." He shook his head, "Unfortunately, Professor Binns wouldn't give it to me."
"Why?"
“Because I haven’t even learned the history of magic.”
Sirius shook his head and smiled, "I have to study hard. Being scolded by the professor like that is really a criticism that is years overdue."
"It's time for me to be more serious."
——
“Awesome…”
Andrew exclaimed in admiration.
He went out to buy books in the morning and brought them back at noon.
The Sorting Hat was very satisfied and happily gave him a bunch of Legilimency tips - Dumbledore's was the standard template, and the Sorting Hat was the top experience in using it.
'So, Occlumency has not improved at all, and I have been practicing Legilimency...'
He tried to sigh, but he couldn't do it at all.
The Sorting Hat gave too much and was too harsh.
"Of course it's amazing," the Sorting Hat nodded its tip proudly, "I'm basically number one in this aspect."
"Basically?"
"Of course, after all, there are great things. "
The Sorting Hat nodded, "Although Professor Binns casts less spells, his theory is almost as good as mine."
"Professor Binns?"
"Yes, Professor Binns, but you're out of luck, because you don't look like you're serious about studying the history of magic."
The Sorting Hat sneered.
‘This…is true. '
"But it's not hopeless. Professor Binns will still be happy to wait for you to create history worth recording one day, for example, cough..."
The Sorting Hat coughed, Andrew understood.
Dream on, he won't jump out on his own initiative. Let's not say whether Professor Binns will take a fancy to him. Even if he does, the wind in the Astronomy Tower is too strong!
