Obviously, it's as if people are always looking for Easter eggs.

In the face of new knowledge beyond the textbooks, the little wizards can always burst into a stronger interest.

By now, the class had unconsciously sat upright, staring intently at Professor Binns, listening carefully to every word the old wizard had to say. After all, the excitement of digging into the secrets buried in the dust of history is not the same level of experience compared to dry historical materials.

What's more, with Elena as a demonstration, many young wizards' eyes began to become smart.

After a long day of classes, the first graders' inhibitions and fears about the course slowly dissipated, and a sense of eagerness gradually spread through the classroom - you know, eleven or twelve years old is the age when a person's curiosity is at its highest, and asking questions is not just Hermione's exclusive right.

"In that case, Professor, why are we using this Muggle calendar?"

Ernie McMillan raised his hand and asked hurriedly, his eyes full of curiosity, "Could it be that it actually has some special meaning in the wizarding world?

"Unfortunately, it's just a product from the non-magical world. ”

Professor Binns's cheeks twitched, and he shook his head slowly, his tone unconsciously tinged with a hint of depression.

"The reason for this is simple, because the Common Era is currently the most widely used method of chronology in the world—and the nearly 100-year-old printed textbooks on the history of magic have been written using the Common Era. ”

"But, Professor," Hermione Granger asked, frowning, and quickly raising her hand, in disbelief, "hasn't there been a magical era of its own in the wizarding world over the years?"

"There may have been, but it's been short-lived. Professor Binns said in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"History has shown that not that many wizards are willing to bother to create a chronological system that can only be used for two or three generations at most. In contrast, Muggles, who are slightly less talented, are more likely to continue the tradition - even the wrong years will gradually replace the real historical ...... over time."

With Professor Binns' dry, hurried voice, the old wizard's body seemed to become more transparent again, and a faint sigh rang out in the classroom once more—but the students who were immersed in the question and answer didn't care.

Hearing Professor Binns' answer, Elena didn't show much surprise.

The chronological system of history is not the same as spells and potions.

It doesn't just take a brilliant idea or an outstanding genius to take shape, it needs to be passed down through dozens or even hundreds of generations, and it needs to be expanded to a large enough number of people and regions to really take shape.

Needless to say, with the expansion of religion in the Middle Ages, the Common Era from the Holy See was spread to all corners of the world through armies and ships, becoming by far the most widespread universal chronology.

However, this is not the basis for the wizarding world to follow and use this method of dating—just as even today, the wizarding world still uses its own system, both in terms of currency exchange and daily metrics. (For more details, click here to view →)

"Well, so far, these are changes that happened a long time ago. Professor Binns clumsily opened his notes and said, "Let's continue to learn about the history of the demon Emeryke......

“...... Miss Kaslana?"

Professor Binns swallowed nervously, and looked up at the little devil who had stood up.

Hogwarts Castle is a magical place of magic.

Both the professor and the ghost have a wonderful connection to the castle, regardless of magical skills, and as long as they are in Hogwarts, all the professors' orders for extra points and deductions will be fulfilled immediately.

Theoretically, this strange connection should be limited to the professors and the ghosts—however, Professor Binns felt a vague sense of a deep bond with Hogwarts from the little silver-haired witch in front of him, if not less so.

"According to non-magical history, the official implementation of the AD calendar in national units is supposed to be in 1582. It was not until 1700 that this calendar really spread throughout Europe and gradually began to be widely accepted. However, according to Hogwarts, a school history, Hogwarts was founded around 990 AD - there is at least a time gap of more than 600 years in between. ”

Elena's gaze fell on Professor Binns' wrinkled face, and she thoughtfully tapped on the delicate cover of History of Magic: Hardcover Collector's Edition, and continued to whisper unhurriedly.

"The best way to deny a civilization is to erase the traces of its existence little by little. When all the Ages of Magic have been replaced by the Common Era, what difference does this History of Magic have from the history of the non-magical world, except for a few bizarre stories?"

“...... That's not what we're going to do in this lesson. ”

Professor Binns's lips twitched, his body curled up slightly, his voice dry and faint, revealing a strong sense of powerlessness, "Perhaps, we should go back to the textbook......"

"Elena......

Faced with Professor Binns, who had suddenly aged a lot, Hannah couldn't bear to shake Elena's arm and whispered the girl's name, trying to ease the somewhat suffocating atmosphere.

"The history of magic is a unique trace of this magical world, right? I think the original purpose of the course "History of Magic" was to keep the historical truth of magic alive and not be buried in the vast dust. ”

Ignoring Hannah's movements, Elena's delicate little face showed an unsympathetic coldness, and her lake-blue eyes fell on Professor Binns's face, and her voice was cold like a cold blade.

This is perhaps the best opportunity to get into the corner of the veil of the world's hidden secrets.

"Professor Binns, what happened during that time of secrecy that the wizarding world even had to abandon part of its original history - you may be the last person to know the full truth, if even you are silent, then what is the point of the history of magic course?"

The class was dead silent.

“...... Alas. ”

Professor Binns was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, and let out a complicated sigh.

This time, everyone heard this sigh very clearly—not through their ears, but directly from the bottom of their hearts, with a numbing vicissitudes of life, as if this sigh had lasted for hundreds of years.

"Okay, then okay......"

Professor Binns said slowly, with great difficulty, his light gray translucent body visibly lightening again, "Let me think about it...... Where to start first......"
