A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 702: Wizard History

The lights at Hogwarts were sparsely lit. Tonight was not much different from yesterday and the day before yesterday, but it was still a sleepless night for many people.

It was very quiet in the library, allowing Hermione to lose herself in her work.

There was a thick stack of books in front of her, and there were almost ten books open at the same time, but she didn't read any of them, but bit her lips and thought. , no wizard dares to act in public. If you plan to find the intersection of wizards and Muggles, you should do so before that.

Hermione tried her best to recall what she had read, and occasionally pulled over a book, turned to a page number and read it carefully for a while. Gradually, a millennial picture of the magic world was outlined in her mind.

Although Professor Bathilda Bagshot, the author of History of Magic, only wrote until the end of the nineteenth century, Hermione gleaned useful information.

During the First World War in the early 20th century, Archer Evermond, then Minister for Magic, opted for neutrality and passed legislation banning wizards and witches from fighting in order to prevent massive breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy Case.

Harry's great-grandfather at the time, Henry Potter, strongly condemned Evermond's decision. As a pure-blood and member of the Wizengamot, his approach caused a sensation and was widely discussed.

Some fragments of words that have been handed down believe that the exclusion of the Potter family from the twenty-eight holy families may have something to do with this matter. Wartime wizards also made their own choices - they did not violate the Statute of Secrecy and the laws of the Ministry of Magic, and were directly involved in the war, but the laws of the Ministry of Magic also failed to stop thousands of wizards who were neighbors to Muggles Be careful and help Muggles as much as you can.

Hermione recalled while flipping through the book——

In the 19th century, the Ministry of Magic agreed to let goblins be responsible for the operation of Gringotts; Gewarts' students were forbidden to cast spells outside the school; at about the same time, Hogwarts administrators tried to capture and control Peeves, but failed, and instead drew fierce resistance from Peeves;

Because of Peeves' special birth principle, the principal at that time made a compromise.

Idris Oakby, founder of the Squib Support Society, was also born around this time, and it is suspected that her youthful experience of being mistaken for a Squib might have prompted her to empathize with real Squibs; During the Foot Monster Rebellion, the headquarters of the Magical Congress of America moved to the current Woolworth Building; in the last year of this century, Albus Dumbledore graduated with honors, and later gave up his graduation trip because of his mother's unexpected death. Godric's Hollow and Grindelwald met for the first time...

In addition, this century also produced some boring Quidditch news, oh yes, Hermione remembered another thing closely related to herself: the witch Heloise Mintab Used a time-turner to go back five centuries in an experiment and was trapped in 1402 for five days. Heloise died because of this, but she was much luckier...

In the 18th century, a bill prohibiting private dragon breeding was passed, and the concept of the Unforgivable Curse was first proposed;

At that time, the secrecy law had been implemented for nearly half a century. This law was patched and became more and more perfect, but it also made some wizards feel depressed, which attracted some opposition. Gideon Flatworthy founded an anti-Muggle extremist group, but the way they expressed their hatred was by refusing to do manual labor like Muggles (Hermione thought something like the professor's theory suggesting everyday use of magic), and In this way, a series of practical methods of summoning spells are developed. But Flatworthy didn't use the spell in the right place. He was exposed when he tried to steal Gringotts' property with the Summoning Charm. After failing, he had to flee in embarrassment to avoid capture; Leaving him alone in the cave, the organization disbanded.

It is worth mentioning that Flatworthy did not end well. He was trapped in the cave, injured and short of food, so he dared to summon the only source of food within the range of vision - at the foot of the mountain. barn, and was crushed to death by cattle and haystacks.

The news of Quidditch is never absent, the two groups fight for no reason, and the only thing of value is that the Restoring Charm appears for the first time in front of the world.

Rappaport Law officially promulgated...

The seventeenth century began with the goblin rebellion. Eight years later, Isolt Thayer, the most important founder of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, went to the United States; Mungo Bonham also founded Saint Mount at this time Ge Magic Injury Hospital;

The fact that 'all magical creatures except wizards are forbidden to hold wands' was confirmed in the form of law, and a werewolf code of conduct was proposed together, but obviously, no werewolf would take the initiative to stand up and admit his identity.

1692 was a very important year, and the International Statute of Secrecy came into effect. The wizards completely turned into hiding, and the "small community within the community" gradually formed in the following hundred years; the Magical Congress of the United States was established.

No major events happened in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries, many wizards have spontaneously stayed away from the crowd, they began to pursue novel entertainment activities, the first Quidditch World Cup came into being (Quidditch again), and then ushered in An unprecedented collection of fouls, more than 700 foul methods were used. There is a book dedicated to recording, and Hermione can't believe that she has read it boringly...

The 14th century was the source of the birth of the law of secrecy. With the spread of the Black Death in Europe, everything related to or associated with witchcraft was excluded, and some wizards who were active in public and semi-public activities were expelled. After that, it intensified and finally In some places wizard burnings took place, and many wizards were forced to hide their identities, go underground or live in isolation.

In the tenth century, Hogwarts was established, and various schools of magic were established one after another.

As the night was getting darker, Hermione raised her head, and a small voice came from behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw Mrs. Pince, the librarian, standing behind her. She was startled.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince, are you going to close the door?" Hermione said, jumping up suddenly. She was impressed by the stern, irascible, vulture-like woman.

Mrs. Pince shook her head, holding a cup of hot cocoa in her hand that usually held a feather duster. She put the cup on the table.

Hermione stared at Recoco in a daze, and was so surprised that she didn't even say "thank you". When she realized it, Mrs. Pince had already left. Hermione sat down and went on with her work. She tried to combine the history of non-wizards to find a pattern, but she found nothing in the end, so she was a little discouraged.

Hot cocoa brings her vitality ~IndoMTL.com~ She wanders among the huge bookshelves, looking for inspiration from them, her gaze slides over the title of a book, and unconsciously comes to an ordinary place. In an area rarely visited, the tall bookshelves are filled with all kinds of decaying notes, all left by Hogwarts students.

Hermione picked a book at random, and it contained a Hufflepuff student's experience during her travels, because some years ago, the words and sentences in the notes were quite awkward to read. She put down her travel journal and picked up another one, this time a novel.

She read with relish for a while, feeling the passage of time in surprise, she put down the book and sighed, now is not the time to read these.

But then, her eyes gradually lit up, and she seemed to have found a suitable angle just now.

－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－

I was going to write the plot of the TV interview today, and I wanted to write some concepts of wizards from different perspectives, but the progress was very slow, so I improvised a chapter to review the history of wizards as a whole. The author picks out a few interesting but unrelated content, which may represent part of the wizard's ideas.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
