Professor Kate's office is not large, but it is not cramped because of its simple layout.

Leah and Hermione sat on the couch, coffee in their hands, and sat there stiffly. Lia was still thinking about something to ease the serious atmosphere, but after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't find a suitable topic.

Just as Leah was pondering and Hermione was bowing her head in silence, there was a bang, and the office door was slammed open, and Phyllis, dressed in a pure black magic robe, walked in briskly with a gust of wind.

"Leah...... And Miss Granger......" Seeing the two men sitting on the couch, Phyllis was a little stunned.

"Hello Professor Kate." Both girls stood up politely.

Phyllis nodded, signaled that they were not welcome, turned to sit behind the desk, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The two girls looked at each other, and finally Liya stood up and said, "That's right, we don't know how to write the paper you gave us...... We've been thinking hard, but we really don't know where to start. ”

Phyllis played with a gold Galleon and said, "Miss Price, Miss Granger, what do you think is the use of studying the history of magic?" ”

"You can know what happened in the past." Leah replied.

A correct nonsense, Phyllis thought to herself, but instead of pointing it out sternly as in the classroom, she induced it: "What's the use of going a little deeper, knowing what happened in the past?" ”

"You can be wise." Hermione gave an answer.

"Good." Phyllis nodded slightly, "Can you be specific?" ”

Hermione said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know very much, but I saw this sentence in a student book, you can read history wisely, and I can't remember the rest." ”

"It's already pretty good." Phyllis approvingly said, "It is wise to read history, this quote comes from "On Reading" in Bacon's Essays by Francis Bacon. ”

"Who is Francis Bacon?" Leah asked curiously.

"One of the most famous philosophers in England." Phyllis said.

"A Muggle?"

"Yes, an ordinary man." Phyllis said, "I have spoken with Mr. Price, your father, and we both believe that because of the huge disparity in the population base, ordinary people are much more advanced in philosophy and thought than wizards, and these are worth learning from. ”

"Yes, Professor." Leah said with her head down.

Hermione, who was standing next to her, felt an inexplicable pride.

"The purpose of reading history is not to find out the so-called historical truth." "That's the job of a historian, and for us, learning history is about building on the experience of our predecessors to provide ideas for solving the dilemma of the present." ”

Looking at the confusion in the eyes of the two girls, Phyllis knew that the two little ones didn't understand at all. In fact, it's normal, these are just two eleven-year-old children, this age is really a child, and the thinking is still very simple.

Phyllis pointed out directly and said, "So, think more about how the establishment process of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has helped us in the predicament we are facing, you can consider writing from this perspective." ”

"Oh." The confusion in Leah and Hermione's eyes hadn't diminished much, and they still didn't understand much.

However, Phyllis didn't intend to continue to explain, and said directly: "Okay, you go back and think about how much you can write." ”

Phyllis said so, and Leah and Hermione couldn't continue to ask, so they had to say, "Yes, Professor Kate." ”

After dealing with the two little girls, and seeing them leave, Phyllis propped her hand on the table and suddenly coughed violently.

Hearing the voice, Amy, who was cleaning, hurriedly came out and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Phyllis looked at the blood spots she coughed up on the table, and her face was very gloomy. She didn't expect that guy to be so powerful.

Following Phyllis's gaze, Amy also noticed the blood stains on the table, pointed to the table in horror, and said, "Master...... This...... What's going on? ”

"Nothing." Phyllis wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Clean up this place, I'm going to rest." ”

Phyllis stood up on the table and stumbled towards the bedroom.
