Of course, Hagrid's guess was fine, and there were now many outsiders in Hogwarts Castle in addition to the original students. Whether it's the contestants from the other five schools, or some officials from the Ministry of Magic or even the carefully selected Aurors, it's possible that they have hidden within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with ulterior motives. Among these people, there are various interests, whether it is Voldemort's Death Eater organization, Gellert Grindelwald's wizarding army, and the Don organization, which has recently stepped up its infiltration of Britain, they are very concerned about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they want to take control of this historic school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Hermione and Ron and Hagrid discuss some of the past, and Hermione is very interested in what Hogwarts was like before the magic. She had studied Hogwarts, a school history, but the book, as its name suggests, was only a partial history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was completely insufficient for someone like Hermione who needed a comprehensive understanding of the history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hogwarts Castle wasn't actually called that name when the Big Four founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was only after Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that the castle became named after the school. There has been a historical void for a long time. Wizards know too little about the events that preceded the founding of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Whether it's Mordred, or the Witch of Le Fay, or Nick Lemay, or Don, or Queen Anne, they've lived long enough to know much more about what happened even earlier.

As the demigods on the ghost ship had come to expect, they knew that there seemed to be a great seal in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and that this seal contained a huge secret that would be fascinating enough to help even the demigods who had survived long enough to take the last step.

The students of Hogwarts know nothing about their own history. They only know what some professors want them to know. Even Salazar Slytherin's legacy, if Tom Riddle hadn't found it through his own efforts, this secret room would have been hidden forever, perhaps for thousands of years before it could be discovered occasionally.

Wizards, like humans, are indifferent to where they come from and how the planet works. They are busy making money, having fun, and looking for prey of the opposite sex, which cannot be overly blamed for them, with the small and short life of human beings, few can live more than a hundred years, such a short life, they have not even had time to find out that they are alive, they have reached the age of forty, fifty or sixty, and by this time their lives have begun to decay rapidly. For wizards, things are not much better, maybe thanks to magic, the life of wizards is a little easier, but in fact, even a top wizard like Albus Dumbledore, if he can't become a demigod, death is something that has to be faced immediately.

It is not easy for any wizard to pursue something eternal with such a short life. Voldemort wanted to do this, and the end result was an inevitable path to madness and self-hallucination.

Hermione, who understood this, was more interested in the life journeys of the famous wizards in Hogwarts history, how many of them faced death at the end of their lives, were they full of fear, or as Albus Dumbledore said, calmly faced it?

After the two of them finished drinking tea at Hagrid's side, it was not early, and when they left Hagrid's hut, they could see several small boats floating on the black lake, and after hearing that the Ministry of Magic had taken extremely tough measures against the fish-people in the lake last time, those fish-men had stopped communicating with any wizards, and they were hiding in the ruins at the bottom of the lake. The boats were some wizards who had heard the news and were trying to reconnect with the merfolk. In Hermione's opinion, it was a complete waste of time.

The grass on the field was already overgrown, and the color of the beating willow turned green. Some birds happily flew past the beating willows, and from time to time they were caught by one and swallowed by them. "Hermione, do you think what Hagrid said will come true? I mean there are ghosts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Ron asked suddenly.

Hermione walked ahead and didn't look back, "I don't know, but I guess Hagrid is right." There was some fatigue in Hermione's voice, she had always been a proud, strong girl until then, but knowing that there were true all-around geniuses like Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald, and Tom Riddle in this world, Hermione was inevitably a little sad.
