Unlike the Transfiguration exam, which was the first to be completed, the subsequent History of Magic exam, Evan was the last to turn in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He wrote for two and a half hours, and by the end, the entire class of young wizards was watching him dumbfounded, and even Professor Binns the Ghost was very surprised.

They didn't know why Evan was able to write so much, which was beyond their imagination.

The normal exam takes at most an hour to complete, but the final essay question on the burning of witches in the fourteenth century intrigues Evan.

He had discussed this with Harry the previous summer.

His recent study of many medieval magical spells has given him a deeper understanding of this aspect.

Generally speaking, it is generally accepted in the wizarding world that the burning of witches is a meaningless act.

In the Middle Ages, Muggles were particularly afraid of magic and witchcraft.

However, they are not very good at recognizing magic, and they only occasionally catch a wizard or witch, and at such times, the incineration has no effect.

When a witch or witch is burned, he casts a basic magic that freezes the flames, enjoying the mild tingling pleasure of the flames while feigning pain and screaming. The soothsayer Wendelin was so fond of being burned that he had been caught in various disguises forty-seven times.

The above content is the original quote from the History of Magic written by the historian of magic Bathilda Bashat, and it also represents the opinion of the vast majority of people.

As long as this paragraph is written on the test paper, Evan will get a perfect score.

But recent research suggests that Bassaert's argument is very one-sided.

The witch hunt led by the Papal forces was not as simple as the wizarding world now imagined, and Evan believed it to be a conspiracy.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, all of Europe entered the darkest Middle Ages.

Human nature is degraded, morality is broken, productivity is slow, and Muggles' fear of the unknown and their fear of witchcraft are at an all-time high.

The former sacred and ancient empire was divided into several countries, and the magical forces were also divided, and a large number of heretical magic about ancient warlocks and wizards were able to spread across Europe.

The perennial scuffle between Muggles has also led to the rapid development of magic, especially the dark arts. Among them, the demonic spells, which are dominated by traditional papal wizards to explore eternal life and the newly emerging dark wizards to seek power, have developed the fastest.

According to the clues that have survived so far, what these two types of magic have in common is that they require a large number of human souls or corpses as the basis for casting spells.

Especially the souls and corpses of underage women, they are the best materials for spellcasting.

As mentioned earlier, the witch hunts that broke out in this context did not actually kill many real wizards, but Muggle women were persecuted on a large scale.

The campaign lasted for hundreds of years, eventually turning into a complete act of terror, with many Muggle girls known as witches being brought to the Inquisition.

They were executed, but their souls and corpses were secretly collected by dark wizards.

Ironically, the runaway witch hunt could not harm the real adult wizards, but it did destroy the young wizards who had just awakened their powers. Many Muggle-born children were brutally murdered by their relatives as soon as they showed their magical talents, which Muggles called the power of the devil.

This reduced the number of wizards, who were already scarce, to the point of extinction.

More and more ancient wizarding schools are dying out because they can't find suitable heirs, and the powerful spells of antiquity are turning to the dust of history one by one.

The wizarding world is becoming more and more depressed, and the status of pure-blood wizard families is getting higher and higher. Three hundred years after the witch hunt, the horror came to an end with the rise of colonialism and the introduction of mystical witchcraft in the New World and the East.

The International Secrecy Act, signed into law in 1689, is considered an important milestone in the development of the wizarding world, with necromantic and demonic dark arts being re-taboo and forbidden to be studied, all magical texts destroyed, and wizards completely relegated to seclusion.

They were no longer involved in the Muggle wars, but had grown on their own.

Due to the limited time for the exam, Ai Wen could only write out his research results in a rough outline, and could not expand them one by one.

Still, his answer shocked everyone.

No matter how you look at it, this is enough to shake up the study of the history of magic in the wizarding world.

If it weren't for the fact that the topic of dark magic itself was too taboo, Evan could even provide hundreds of dark magic spells as his own basis.

Even so, Professor Binns was stunned for a long time after seeing Evan's test paper.

His translucent ghost body turned a pale red color from his excitement.

The other little wizards looked sideways, wanting to see what Evan had written on the test paper, which could make Professor Binns so discouraged.

Because of his research value, Aven scored 120 points in his History of Magic class, and the extra score was Professor Binns's reward for him. This move to set a record in Hogwarts became the hottest topic in the castle.

Of course, that's all for later, as Evan was walking with Colin towards the auditorium.

Unlike when they were separated, the third-year students were all in high spirits and looked very excited.

Hermione's previous prediction was so accurate that Professor Flitwick made the Happy Spell a third-year question.

Evan doesn't see Harry and Ron, and Hermione tells him that it's because Harry has gone a little too far in removing the nervousness, and Ron has been laughing hysterically. For the sake of the test results, Professor Flitwick had to take them to his office and quiet him until Ron himself could recite the Happy Spell.

It was halfway through lunch when Harry and Ron arrived in the Great Hall.

They looked very haggard, not at all like they had just cast the Happiness Charm.

"It's not good!" Ron shook his head, "Maybe it's the laughter that drains me too much energy, maybe it's the nervousness of casting spells alone." Anyway, my happy magic didn't work, Harry just pretended to be happy, and Professor Flitwick clearly saw it. ”

"Don't take it to heart, this magic is hard. Harry said weakly, "I did feel the joy at the time, but not so strongly. ”

Harry's argument was unconvincing, and he didn't look happy at all.

"I told you before, when you cast the spell, your wand swung in the wrong direction!" Hermione said, looking at Ron, "Obviously, you didn't listen to me. ”

"But when I used this spell before, it was all effective, and I thought it was ......"

"You should be glad that Professor Flitwick won't give you a zero. Hermione pulled out her Potions textbook and said sharply, "But if you're still like that for tomorrow's Potions exam, I'm sure Snape won't let this opportunity go." (To be continued.) )
