Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1142: Talking about the past and the present

? "Dear students, please pay attention!"

As the dinner time was about to end that day, Professor McGonagall stood up and said something, and immediately attracted the attention of most of the students.

"I think everyone has learned a lot about the major events of our school in the history of magic. For example, the Triwizard Tournament held in the previous year was one of them. And I think everyone knows it too. Many school-level activities have been put on hold for a long time due to various historical reasons..."

"To be honest, most of those activities will obviously be of great help to your studies, but as a professor and principal at Hogwarts, I can’t let everyone experience them one by one. This makes I feel very ashamed."

"However, recently, with the help of our temporarily resigned professor of ancient magic, Mr. Maca McLean, and discussion at the International Wizarding Federation...Finally, there is another large-scale school event in dust. Or it will start smoothly!"

Before Professor McGonagall could finish speaking, the little wizards below began to boil.

For children, it is undoubtedly boring to stay in class every day and concentrate on writing. On this point, even the most powerful professor is difficult to change.

At this time, an extraordinary activity will become the most appropriate way for these energetic girls and boys to vent.

And if this activity has some educational significance, it is a wonderful thing to learn and relax.

"Quiet! Be quiet!"

Professor McGonagall's majesty was still there, and she suddenly raised her hand to press it, and the suddenly noisy auditorium became quiet again. In the pair of sparkling eyes, there is full of expectation.

What kind of event is it?

Is it the Magic School Potions Tournament? Or the European Youth Wizards Dueling Competition? It will never be the minor competition of the All England Gobish Championship, right? If that were the case, it would be terrible!

I don’t know if it was Professor McGonagall’s example of the Triwizard Tournament, or the young wizards’ young, aggressive and aggressive nature, and every game kept circling in everyone’s mind.

"It can't be the Potions Championship!" Hermione didn't have much interest in this type of event. She poured cold water on the side and whispered, "Since the last finals, there have been contestants because After a frying pan created a large swamp that can’t be eliminated until now, the Potions Championship will never be restarted! You know, including the Muggles who were accidentally injured, the number of deaths in that game was as high as An unprecedented three-digit number!"

"Oh! What kind of potion are you refining?" Ron immediately shivered, looking suspicious.

"Look, just listening is scary, isn't it?" Hermione shrugged. "As for why the potion fryer would create a swamp... There is no detailed site record, because everyone who knows It has been sunk forever in that swamp in northern Europe!"

Just as Hermione lowered her voice to tell everyone about the sporadic records of the game, Professor McGonagall on the faculty side cleared her throat slightly, and then said loudly:

"This upcoming event is a school tour program that was terminated due to the war! Some people may know that this is a school event with a very long history. It was already at the beginning of the Hogwarts school. Existence-Study tours not only allow you to survey the customs and scenery around the world, but also allow you to see all kinds of unheard of local magic, and unseen magical creatures..."

After a little mention of the significance of this activity, McGonagall turned to:

"If it is strictly in accordance with the practice, the study tour plan should be a teaching activity that students can only participate in in the sixth grade of each class. However, considering that this activity has not been held for a long time, this time will be shared by the teachers and students of the school Participate!"

"...After the approval document is issued by the Education Department of the International Wizarding Federation, the specific announcement will be displayed on the bulletin board in the lobby. If there are students who are unable to participate for some reason, please remember to submit the relevant application in advance! In addition—"

Before McGonagall finished speaking, the little wizards below started to make noise again—studying? Isn’t that about traveling around the world? This sounds so cool!

And this time, even Hermione got a little excited. Because she has liked to travel around since she was a child, almost every few years, her parents would take her to take advantage of the holidays to take her out of the country and appreciate the scenery abroad.

What's more, this study tour is a wizard tour... Needless to say, it must be more interesting than the Muggle tour!

Professor McGonagall, who was interrupted for the last sentence, saw that the scene was more turbulent than before, which forced her to take out her wand and wave it, making a "crack" sound.

After finally making the big guys quiet again, she added:

"...Because this study tour plan needs to travel around the world, Hogwarts will uniformly send parental submissions to all families, and only students who have their parents' signatures can participate in the activities normally! , This is the end of today’s dinner time. Now, please lead the students back to the common room by the heads of all levels! Good night, fellow students!"

As soon as the voice fell, Professor McGonagall left the faculty chair and left without looking back.

"Oh-I knew it! Parent's signature... Mom can't worry about me wandering around the world!"

"Yes! It's bad this time, why is there such a thing?"

For a time, the Hogwarts auditorium became a mess, and the yellers one after another. Some students whose parents have always been enlightened cheered, and some students who consciously couldn't participate wailed all over the field, making people feel like entering a bar at one or two in the morning.

"Professor McGonagall went so fast!"

Maca sat behind the faculty seat, watching McGonagall's back disappear quickly at the side door, and couldn't help but spit out with a smile.

No way, this activity does require the consent of the parents first. If the students are allowed to run so far without their parents knowing, no matter whether there is an accident or not, it will be the school's fault.

This time, if a parent disagrees with their children’s participation, they have to give that group of students a small holiday with homework.

Well, I hope the little wizards don’t resent too much!

……

On the morning after Professor McGonagall announced the study tour plan, the special interview of the "Daily Prophet" was published on the front page of the headline, with a picture of Maca and Minister of Magic Scrimgeour being interviewed. Magical photos.

In this interview report, not only the important news about the restart of the Hogwarts study tour plan is highlighted, but also some discussion content about the current situation has also been incorporated into it.

In particular, there is a part about Maca’s views on the "Despicable Helbo", an ancient black wizard who has returned. The "Daily Prophet" does not hesitate to space, and even the second page is occupied by about five One part of the area.

Undoubtedly, this is the first time Maca has publicly published his views on Haierbo, including the differences between ancient wizards and modern wizards, and the similarities and differences between ancient magic and modern spells, which are mentioned in the article.

If you have to summarize these contents, it is actually not complicated:

"Ancient magic is not as scary and mysterious as everyone thinks. According to my research, modern spells are actually another manifestation of ancient magic. Don’t think of ancient magic after seeing the power of Helbo. Magic will be more sophisticated than modern spells, it is only Helbo’s personal strength..."

"More importantly, even Helbo is not a wizard standing on the pinnacle of magic. To me, his level is actually almost the same as Professor Dumbledore's. The research direction is different."

This is what Maca said in the interview. The professional ethics of the female reporter was obviously better than that of Rita Skeeter, and it was almost the same as Maca's commentary. newspaper.

Maca would say this, naturally to dispel the fear of Helbo or ancient wizards in the hearts of ordinary wizards. But from a certain point of view, what he said is actually the truth, but he deliberately omitted some of the necessary explanations.

For example, due to the serious lack of urges for war in the modern magical world, it can be said that it is hard to reach the sky if you want to give birth to a modern wizard who is good at fighting.

Without years of accumulation, it is almost impossible to rely on modern spells to defeat Helbo.

"Oh! Maca said so well! Look,'Modern magic spells and ancient magic are actually not superior to each other. As long as you learn the depths, you can exert powerful power'...think about it Isn’t Maca like that himself? It’s just a floating curse that can actually hold up a stone monument as huge as a hill in his hand!"

When the students were excited about the study tour, they did not forget to express their amazement at the other interviews of Maca. But when Hermione and others were watching these reports, they weren't as excited as other students~IndoMTL.com~ I always think... these words of Maca are a bit evasive, don't they? "Neville asked softly while flipping through the newspaper.

"Well," Hermione couldn't help but nodded, "I think anyone who has seen those major disasters with his own eyes will probably understand the horror of Helbo... But Maca is actually right, that should be It’s just the strength of Helbo itself, which does not mean that ancient magic is more powerful than modern spells."

Being able to live from ancient times until now is not dead, this is no longer something ordinary people can do. It can be seen that Haierbo has been regarded as a leader among wizards in ancient times.

However, the problem now is not the strength of ancient and modern magic, but the victory or defeat of Maca and Helbo.

Suddenly, Ron, who stared at the newspaper silently from the beginning, suddenly said:

"At least what I can see in this interview is not just Maca's discussion of ancient magic and ancient wizards... isn't it?"

When a group of friends heard the words, they looked at him one after another.
