Chapter 402: Substitute Professor of the History of Magic (First Update, Please Feed!)

The history of magic course is oddly positioned at Hogwarts, and although it is a theoretically important and compulsory subject, basically, all students in Professor Binns' class are distracted.

So in general, before that, the Hogwarts Wizards' history of magic grades were mostly based on homework, self-taught, and class notes from a very small number of survivors.

However, even so, Professor Binns is still recognized as one of the most authoritative professors of the history of magic in the wizarding world today.

Regardless of how that knowledge is stored and how he thinks as a ghost, Professor Binns is able to know all the knowledge that can still be considered "historical" after his death, which is remarkable for Professor Binns alone.

Hardworking, diligent, unrequited, and dead......

Professor Binns, who is part of the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hogwarts", has long since become an iconic representative of the castle and the school, and even the new generation of wizards such as Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Severus Snape maintain absolute respect for the old professor and colleagues.

Therefore, when they heard that Professor Binns was missing, almost all the professors at Hogwarts took action and took the initiative to search for Professor Binns's traces in the castle, and finally heard half the good news from Dumbledore after dinner.

"Rest assured, Professor Binns has found it. ”

In the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Dumbledore said calmly, "Thanks to Mr. Peeve's help, we finally found the venerable Professor Binns in a mysterious magic room on the eighth floor of the castle. ”

"So, how is Professor Binns doing now?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning, with some concern.

"Is it because of the after-effects of those magic bans in the underground vault, what can we do?"

Snape crossed his arms and whispered thoughtfully, his black eyes glinting, and he kept wondering if there was a potion that could help stabilize the ghost, or a potion that calmed the soul.

"I've been there before, and Professor Binns isn't a big deal, it's just ......"

Dumbledore shook his head slowly, rubbed his slender index finger at his temple, and sighed softly - he already knew the specific situation, the white-haired dumpling and her little friend actually refused to let go of the ghost.

No doubt he should have expected this, and the children would certainly be more interested in Professor Binns than in the dry historical materials. With the morning lesson on the history of magic, almost all of the students in the four problem babies, led by Elena, took a keen interest in Professor Binns.

So by the second half of the course, the entire History of Magic course had unwittingly turned into a Q&A session similar to the so-called "Turing Experiment" in the non-magical worldβ€”as the only ghost in the entire castle who could take the trouble to answer their questions, Professor Binns had to answer not only the history of the scope of those History of Magic courses, but also some of his own stories and experiences.

So much so that by the time Dumbledore found Professor Binns in the Room of Requirement, Professor Binns was as thin as the morning fog at Hogwarts, and on the contrary, the professor himself was in a strange state of mind.

Compared to the shriveled and slow pace of speech that Dumbledore was familiar with, Professor Binns's voice changed from a flat and unrhythmic flat and straightforward voice to an almost high-frequency hum, and his gray body flickered and disappeared, showing a tired and excited contradiction.

"Ghosts can get excited", "Ghosts can get tired", "Ghosts can become dull......

It was the first time Dumbledore had encountered such a bizarre thing, and Rao didn't know how to explain it now.

"Exactly?" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but step forward and ask, looking at the ominous Professor Dumbledore.

"Hmm...... It's just that Professor Binns may need to be alone for a while and rest for a while. ”

Albus Dumbledore thought for a moment and didn't explain much.

According to his guess, Professor Binns should have only been stressed out lately, and with a little rest, he should be able to return to teaching soon - as an old professor who has not rested for nearly a thousand years, it is natural to take a vacation once in a while.

After a few seconds of silence, Dumbledore looked around the Headmaster's office and continued.

"So, Hogwarts may need a substitute professor of the history of magic in the meantime - and since no one has been contacted before, I recommend that Mr. Otto Apokalis take on a temporary role. ”

Although Gellert Grindelwald is not the real "Hohenheim Paracelsus", as the nephew of the famous historian of magic Bathilda Basshat, and an important historical figure throughout the modern history of magic, Grindelwald has absolutely no problem mastering the history of magic.

In fact, in order to explore the secrets of ancient spells and the existence of deathly weapons, the original Dark Lord, who once swept half of the wizarding world, read far 90% of the ancient books - not to mention, the strange stories behind most of the celebrities in the wizarding world today are more or less related to Grindelwald and the saints.

Of course, it's one thing to have the ability or not, and whether or not you want to be a professor of the history of magic to confront a certain white-haired ball that gives people a headache is another thing - at least, judging by Grindelwald's stunned expression on the sofa in the headmaster's office, it is clear that Dumbledore has not communicated this matter to him in advance.

The corners of Grindelwald's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly.

"Ahem, Albus...... Professor Dumbledore, I don't have much teaching experience......"

"Teaching experience is not a problem, in fact, I have always believed that you have your own unique intelligence and extremely effective communication style when dealing with children. Dumbledore shook his head and said with a serious expression.

The vast majority of Hogwarts classes have at least one substitute teacher, so that even if something unexpected happens, the progress of the students will not be affected too much - except for the History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Compared to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which has an extremely large number of candidates, the previous candidate professor of the history of magic has been dead for almost eight hundred years now, and even Dumbledore really can't find a more suitable candidate for a while.
