Sadly, though, Elena didn't feel Albus Dumbledore's good intentions.

Compared to Dumbledore, the "patron saint of European wizarding world" who has a long-term vision and hopes for a bright future, Elena now longs for herself to be a true cleric, not a little witch with bells and whistles.

In this way, at least she can have 10,000 ways to help those obsessions that are stranded in the world to be reborn.

"Professor Binns, you don't have to follow me all the time, we just meet in the History of Magic classroom. ”

Elena sighed deeply, turned her head, and looked at the "spirit behind the back" who had been following her half a meter behind her since dinner, and said helplessly—a translucent ghost professor with a lesson plan.

Elena, Hermione, and Hannah were walking through the Great Hall door through the Great Hall door to the History of Magic classroom on the second floor of the castle with their heavy History of Magic textbooks in their hands.

I don't know what strange news Dumbledore's spicy old radish has instilled in Professor Binns.

In short, not long after the beginning of today's dinner, Professor Binns quietly appeared behind Elena, unhurriedly scrolling through "Singing and Singing", and whispering in a hoarse and shriveled voice on the omissions and imorbidities in the article, Hannah, who was sitting next to Elena to eat, almost fell asleep directly at the dining table.

At first, Elena tried to argue with Professor Binns.

However, she soon discovers that, without preparation, this self-indulgent behavior will only be further preached by the experienced, and at the same time emotionally unemotional ghost professor, with more dry points and names.

Worst of all, compared to the essays written by Hermione and Hannah as participants, Elena's solo essay that threw out the idea of the "Hogwarts calendar" and exaggerated to a certain extent became the main object of Professor Binns's discussion.

As a fossil-level professor who existed at the founding of the university, Professor Binns even began with statements such as "I remember", "I think I thought it was", and "I saw it", which made Elena not even have the slightest idea of arguing in the future.

The only good news is that, seemingly thanks to Dumbledore's communication, the ghost professor is generally supportive of Elena's "Hogwarts calendar".

If you want to use an analogy, it is roughly similar to the most classic comment of many tutors in the first review of the paper: in general, the direction and ideas are correct, but the details are too rough and there are too many mistakes and omissions, so it is recommended to tear down and rewrite.

Of course, it is impossible to rewrite, not to mention that the issue has already been printed, and even if it can be changed, if it is really changed to the kind of dry historical research according to Professor Binns's idea, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to buy it and read it—let alone help disseminate and discuss it.

So Elena simply assumed that Professor Binns did not exist, and waited for the old man to leave after he finished nagging.

However, she clearly underestimated Professor Binns' resilience and dedication to the Age of Magic.

One of the biggest advantages of being a ghost is that he can babble in your ear 24/7 without panting if he wants to, and you can't do anything about it.

Spicy old radish, you wait for me!

Elena glared hatefully at Dumbledore, who was smiling at her in the faculty seat, took out a small notebook and made a heavy note, stopping to look at Professor Binns who was floating not far away.

"Professor, I see. Every night after class, I would report in the History of Magic class, and I would review and proofread your manuscript every time before submitting it. ”

Elena said as she rubbed her head vigorously, a look of determination on her face.

"But at the same time, in the process of chasing and guarding the truth of history, I may also have many other questions to ask you, and I hope that at that time, you can also calmly help us unravel the fog. ”

Obviously, in the current situation, there is no way to hide, and if we can't find a way to follow Professor Binns's wishes and compile a rigorous and accurate "Hogwarts calendar", it is estimated that such a situation will happen once a day.

In the face of the ghost professor in front of him, who can't be beaten, can't say, and the most important thing is that he has also opened the semi-standalone mode, there are only two ways to solve it: 1. Perfectly reproduce an impeccable era of magic. Second, find a way to increase the load on Professor Binns, and according to her observations, even the indefatigable ghost will fade.

Hopefully, by then, Dumbledore would have found a suitable substitute for the history of magic - she personally felt that some old guy who ate melons and watched the excitement the whole time was particularly suitable.

"Chasing and Guarding the Truth ...... History"

Professor Binns shook his head, his wrinkled cheeks twitching, trying to smile kindly.

Clearly, the old wizard liked the expression.

After a slight pause, Professor Binns rolled up the "Singing and Singing Contradiction" in his hand, his cloudy vision seemed to become clearer, and he raised his head to look at Elena with a serious look that he had never seen before, and said slowly and solemnly.

"Immature, naïve, ignorant, unrigorous—but full of courage and hope, which is what is lacking in the field of the history of magic. Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you sort out and proofread an accurate history of magic. ”

......

As Elena took the initiative to compromise, Professor Binns naturally did not continue to nag after Elena.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the next History of Magic class, everyone vaguely felt that Professor Binns had undergone a slight change, and the originally calm and boring History of Magic course seemed to have a little vitality.

It may be strange to use the word "vitality" to describe Professor Binns, but the most intuitive thing is that after this lesson, the young wizards did not have the same exhaustion as they used to feel when they almost fell asleep - you know, because of the first lesson, everyone in the history of magic was engrossed in the lecture rather than in a daze.

However, for Elena, this corroborates some of her guesses.

Undoubtedly, the ability to have mood swings means that Professor Binns's personality has not dissipated, which means that there may be more reactions when he is exposed to some key questions or blind spots in knowledge.

It is likely that the previous state of dryness was the "plant ghost" mode that Professor Binns had displayed in order to "save energy", and all she had to do now was to find a way to find the switch that activated Professor Binns again - Dumbledore would never know that she knew far more about the history of magic than any wizard in this world.

After the other students had left the classroom, and only Elena, Hermione, Hannah, and Professor Binns were left in the classroom, the corners of Elena's mouth were raised, and she sat on the table with her hands propped up, before Professor Binns could take the initiative to speak.

"Professor Binns, have you heard of the Hogwarts legend about the Chamber of Secrets?"

Professor Binns looked up, blinked, and stammered.

"Miss Kaslana, I think our focus at this time should be on finding and reproducing reliable facts, rather than discussing these sensational, even comical, and bizarre legends......"

"All legends have a certain factual basis, as you who witnessed the Slytherin and Gryffindor quarrel and left Hogwarts in anger, do you really think that it is just an ethereal legend in your heart? ”

Elena narrowed her eyes, her white calves dangling in mid-air, and whispered in a seductive tone.

"Coincidentally, I happen to know something about the Chamber of Secrets. ”

"Do you want to know what's in there? To be precise, I know roughly where the Chamber is, but unfortunately only the ghosts of that place are likely to go to at the moment, except for the descendants of Salazar Slytherin—"

At this, Elena paused, glanced meaningfully at the light gray ghost professor, and whispered.

"It's very easy for you to go and verify it in person. ”

"Are you interested?"
