"You all know why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded. Roughly more than a thousand years ago, around the 11th century, wizards' whereabouts were not as hidden as they are today. In those days, wizards could unleash all their talents as they pleased, but this also contributed to the fear of magic, and many wizards were secretly persecuted. ”

As a result, four of the greatest wizards of the time – Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin – became anxious about the future of the non-magical world and the wizarding world. Together, they founded the school, and named four houses after each of them, hoping to be away from Muggle prying eyes to some extent, so that young people who showed signs of magic could learn to control their powers. ”

Professor Binns paused slightly, looked around the room with a blurred gaze, and continued.

As it turned out, the four founders were right in their apprehensions. Beginning in the eleventh century, the conflict between the two worlds began to escalate as friction between wizards and Muggles continued to accumulate. During this time, both sides did a lot of terrible things in order to bring the other side to their knees - very terrible, tens of millions of people died in pieces, which is a tragic situation that mankind can never imagine......"

As if touching on some unusually bad memory, Professor Binns's body trembled several times unconsciously, and his thin hands clenched the lesson plan in the book tightly, and his voice was so low that it was terrifying.

Elena was so agitated that several very bad terms came to her mind - the Black Death, smallpox, malaria......

She wasn't sure if she had really guessed those things, and she began to regret asking them a little. If there had been a full-scale war, it would have been far more tragic than the Second World War, and it would have been a mistake in human history that may never be let go.

And worst of all, she happens to know some sporadic history of magic that fits perfectly with that history.

Fortunately, Professor Binns did not go into details, but frowned and closed his eyes, falling into silence.

After a dozen seconds of silence, Professor Binns let out a sigh of relief, an old expression of relief and pain.

"Humanity is more resilient than anyone could have imagined in a desperate situation, and the wizarding world has paid the price for its arrogance. Beginning in the early fifteenth century, Muggle persecution of wizards began to spread throughout Europe and eventually throughout the world. ”

"After the 17th century, the relationship between wizards and Muggles reached its lowest point. As the capture of wizards becomes more brutal, so does the revenge of wizards. Most wizarding families began to live a double life, using hidden charms to protect themselves and their families, and any wizard who chose to be friendly with Muggles would be suspected or even abandoned by their own community......"

"In those days, wizarding families were particularly vulnerable to losing their children, as children were not yet able to control their magic, often attracting the attention of Muggles who were chasing wizards, and were powerless to resist. Of course, the revenge of the wizarding family who lost their child is also crazy and terrifying, just like the Muggle family that lost a loved one......"

"It was a dark time when you lost your mind, and it's hard to tell where the original sin came from......"

The atmosphere in the classroom froze, and with Professor Binns's voice, everyone seemed to return to those dark days, and the sound of people's groans of pain, screams, and crazy shrill laughter sounded faintly in their ears.

"Many witches and witches have been imprisoned and sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft. Although some, such as Lisette de Lapan in 1422, she was lucky not to reveal that she was an Animagus and managed to escape. However, there are also wizards who are not so magically strong, or who are close to the non-magical world, who are not so lucky, who are stripped of their wands and imprisoned in dungeons, so that they cannot use magic to escape their death. ”

Hearing Professor Binns's words, Hermione Granger's face suddenly turned pale, and her left hand subconsciously grabbed Elena beside her, looking at the girl with a pleading and pitiful look, and her voice moaned weakly.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, Sir Nicholas......"

"Only kings can confer knighthoods, and he used to serve Henry VII. There is no doubt that people in the non-magical world know very well how to limit the power of a wizard. Elena's face was equally pale, and her voice was horribly hoarse.

The court wizard knighted by the king may not be the most powerful wizard, but it must be the best of the time.

However, the more self-righteous and intelligent people are, the more they do not know how to wander on the edge of danger, which is actually a kind of stupidity.

Elena gently grasped Hermione's trembling left hand, and her voice was silent, as if she were telling an inconsequential history.

"It is said that on the evening of October 30, 1492, Sir Nicholas was strolling in the park when he met Lady Greave. She was sure he would be able to straighten her crooked teeth, but Nicholas's attempt backfired, causing her to grow fangs - apparently a little longer at the end of the spell. ”

Because of this mistake, Sir Nicholas was immediately imprisoned and sentenced to death. Even though he had been shouting all night that he would be able to undo the damage done to Lady Greeve in no time. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Elena Lake's blue eyes, and she sneered.

In order to keep Nick quiet, a priest came to Sir Nicholas's cell to comfort him and escorted him to the execution ground at dawn the next day. By the time the executioner told Nick to kneel in front of the stone, he was speechless. ”

Nicholas chose to stay as a ghost instead of "going down" because he was afraid of death.

In the last moments of his life, it is hard to imagine how strong his will to survive was - even if he was speechless before the execution, even if the executioner's axe was blunt, even if all the stones used to sharpen the axe disappeared mysteriously, even if he was slashed by the axe forty-five times in total, but even then there was still a little bit of skin and tendon attached to his neck.

"It's not just Nick who almost lost his head, it's also the Fat Friar of Hufflepuff. ”

There was not the slightest smile on Elena's face, she glanced at Hannah Abold beside her, and whispered.

After graduating from Hogwarts, the Fat Friar joined the Holy See and became an honorable clergyman in accordance with his former ideals. The only thing he had done wrong was that he shouldn't have used his wand to treat civilians infected with smallpox - the high priests soon discovered this, and even if there was no evidence, suspicion alone was enough to get him executed......"

And then......

They all returned to Hogwarts and became ghosts of the castle for all eternity.

Erin looked up thoughtfully and looked around the cold walls of Hogwarts.

And from the podium, Professor Binns's voice continued.

“...... 302 years ago, in 1689, the wizarding world signed the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act – although it was not officially established as law until 1692 – which is why ministries of magic were established. For example, the Magical Congress of the United States (founded in 1693), the British Ministry of Magic (formerly known as the Council of Wizards, which became the Ministry of Magic in 1707)...... Since then, the wizarding world and wizards have completely turned into seclusion, uniting to help and protect each other. ”

Professor Binns's thin body shook slightly, and his translucent body began to flicker, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely hideous and painful, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and slowly spat out every word that followed.

"In order to protect the remaining magical civilization as much as possible and avoid a new round of war. The Ministries of Magic, which was established with the advent of the International Confederation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, voted unanimously to erase the original magical years from history, so that the traces of magical civilization were completely hidden under the absurd era of the Common Era......"

"In order to put an end to meaningless hatred, so that magic and human civilization can continue......"

"We, with our own hands, buried our own historical ......"

Alas......

After writing this chapter, my heart is so heavy.

If there is no mistake, it may be the truth that the wizarding world has not written, because it all corresponds.

There are many, many shocking histories that have not been written, smallpox and the Black Death, which were the weapons of mankind against humanity, and more than once.

In the text, let's chat with the fat chicken, and let the fat chicken slow down.

Here is the red envelope, well~That's it~
