Chapter 40: A Boring History of Magic

"Well, there's another explanation......" Albert said with a strange expression, "among Muggles, a group of professional scientists discovered a substance, a protein capable of catalyzing the formation of eggshells, which is only found in the ovaries of chickens. In other words, if there are no chickens, there is no such protein, then it is impossible to form eggshells at all, and the eggshells that are formed can protect the chicks from being successfully hatched, so they conclude that there are chickens first, and then eggs. ”

As he spoke, everyone froze, even the young wizards from the Muggle world.

"I know you don't understand, but the answer to the chicken is that someone has verified it. Albert explained

"So......" asked Katrina tentatively, "do you think there is a phoenix and then a fire?"

"No, the wizarding world is not the same as the Muggle world. Albert shook his head and said, "The phoenix and fire, I think it should be a cycle, the phoenix will be reborn after death, its life will only go on forever, I think it is pointless to explore the starting point of the phoenix." ”

Katrina raised an eyebrow, and Albert's answer wasn't bad.

"Great, even if it's a Ravenclaw student, there are few who can answer it the first time. The Ravenclaw boy behind Albert couldn't help but compliment, "By the way, my name is Roger Davis, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

I had no choice but to take it.

Roger Davis actually faced with questions about the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, but he answered all of them incorrectly.

Most of the new Ravenclaw freshmen can't pass the eagle-shaped bronze knocker questions, and if they want to get in and out of the lounge, they always need to be brought by Ravenclaw seniors, which is always inconvenient.

"I'm curious, why did you get sorted into Gryffindor?" asked Roger Davis what everyone was curious about.

"Who knows?"

That was the end of the conversation, as Professor Binns walked through the blackboard into the History of Magic classroom, and the way he appeared was truly eye-opening.

Ten minutes later, all the students in the classroom looked drowsy.

It was not for nothing that the history of magic was considered the most boring of the courses, and Professor Binns was always reading the contents of the book in a monotonous voice, and everyone only scribbled down important names and dates, even Ravenclaw students could not resist this hypnosis.

The only person in the classroom who was still in spirit was Albert, who had a candy in his mouth.

I'm reading a book seriously, and occasionally taking notes on another book.

"It's hard to imagine that you can resist Professor Binns's hypnosis!" After class, the Weasley twins both looked at Albert with admiration, and one of them put one hand on his shoulder, "Please be sure to lend us a copy of the notes on the history of magic." ”

Lee Jordan had already taken the history of magic from his Albert hand with a smile.

"What do you say?" Albert rolled his eyes, in the history of magic class, he was preoccupied with two things, reading books and taking notes.

To this end, Albert also deliberately upgraded the two-purpose to level 2.

However, it is really useful to use it to get through the history of magic, after all, it takes five years of history class.

"You know what? Rumors about Professor Cuthbert Binns. ”

"What rumors?" the three of them were immediately drawn to attention.

"According to a piece of Hogwarts history. Albert whispered, "Professor Binns didn't notice that he was dead, at least at first. ”

"One day, Professor Binns stood up to go to class, but accidentally left his body in an armchair in front of the fire in the faculty lounge. Of course, he was quite old by then. ”

"Wow!" all three of them were surprised, they didn't expect the history of magic to become a Hogwarts history professor forever.

Before eating, the three of them had already copied a copy of the history of magic.

"Do we have any classes in the afternoon?" asked George, who couldn't wait to take a lap on Charlie's comet.

"There is also a class in the afternoon, which is the Transfiguration class. Lee Jordan said regretfully.

Albert muttered, "I dare say this is definitely the easiest course!"

Isn't it easy to take three classes a day?

In other words, the British, who don't pay attention to lunch, eat something at random at this point in time.

Albert gave up on preparing sandwiches for himself, he hated eating sandwiches all day, and after drinking some pumpkin juice and a few potato stews, he ended his lunch hastily.

The twins were going to take advantage of this time to go out for a walk, and Albert thought that it should be after the Transfiguration class, after all, they would have enough time and energy, and as for the period between lunch and before class, Albert planned to go to the courtyard of the castle to rest and read a book by the way.

The courtyard was full of students, who gathered in groups to chat, and some brought their lunches here to eat.

Hogwarts in September doesn't have the sweltering heat of summer, not to mention the rain that just happened yesterday, and the breeze brings the coolness of autumn.

"If only I could conjure up a cushion. Albert sat on the lawn and couldn't help but sigh, "I suddenly felt that it was important to learn metamorphosis well." ”

"No, no, that's definitely not a reason to learn a good transformation class. Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain

"What's in that forest, you say?" Fred asked suddenly, looking at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

"Dumbledore said there were werewolves in it. ”

"And the centaurs. ”

"There are probably other magical creatures out there. Albert continued, "Perhaps, the ranger of the hunting grounds will also keep some strange creatures in the woods. ”

For example, Thestrals, Eight-Eyed Spiders, Giants......

"By the way, how are you learning the illusion spell?" George digressed the topic, he didn't plan to go to the Forbidden Forest for the time being, they like to take risks and find excitement, not like to die, and werewolves are notorious in the wizarding world, and it will be all over if you are bitten.

At the moment, when will they be able to start their night tour is their main concern.

"It's still so fast, it's not easy to master the Illusion Spell. Albert pulled out his wand, recited a spell, and tapped it lightly on a fallen leaf.

The color of the surface of the leaf began to change, as if blending into the palm of his hand.

"It doesn't feel like it's what I imagined. Li Jordan scratched his head and said.

"You may not be able to see it from a distance, but in fact, it ......," Albert shook his head helplessly, "and if you look closely, you will be immediately noticed." ”

"It's kind of like a chameleon. ”

"It's based on a chameleon-like protective color. Albert didn't directly use the experience pool experience to level up the illusion spell, he planned to spend his time slowly fumbling around until he had mastered it thoroughly before he felt a sense of accomplishment.

The learning process was still important, and it was the only way to feel like attending Hogwarts, and he didn't want to miss out on the experience.

Albert was already preparing to spend two months teaching himself the Illusion Charm.
