Chapter 402 Substitute Professor of the History of Magic Hey!)
The History of Magic course has a somewhat strange position at Hogwarts. Although it is a theoretically extremely important required course, basically, in Professor Binns' class, all the students are distracted.
So in general, before this, the achievements of the young wizards and wizards in Hogwarts in the history of magic mainly came from after-school homework, self-taught, and the class notes of a very few surviving top students.
However, even so, Professor Binns is still recognized as one of the most authoritative history of magic professors in the magic world today.
Regardless of how the knowledge is stored as a disembodied ghost, and how he thinks as a ghost, Professor Binns alone can know all the knowledge that happened after his death and can still be regarded as "history"
You know, this is already amazing.
Work hard without complaint, be diligent, ask for nothing in return, and die...
Like the "Hogwarts intangible cultural heritage", Professor Binns has long become an iconic representative of the castle and the school, even for such figures as Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Sev
New generation wizards like Les Snape also maintain absolute respect for this old professor and colleague.
Therefore, after hearing that Professor Binns was missing, almost all the professors at Hogwarts took action and took the initiative to search for traces of Professor Binns in the castle. Finally, after dinner, they heard half of the good news from Dumbledore.
"Don't worry, everyone, Professor Binns has been found."
In the Hogwarts Principal's Office, Dumbledore said calmly, "Thanks to Mr. Peeves' help, we finally found the respected Professor Binns in a mysterious magic room on the eighth floor of the castle."
"So, how is Professor Binns doing now?" Professor McGonagall frowned and asked with some concern.
"Is it because of the sequelae of the magic restrictions in the underground secret room? What can we do?"
Snape folded his arms and whispered thoughtfully, his black eyes flashing, and he kept thinking about whether there was a potion that could help the ghost stabilize its state, or a potion that could calm the soul.
.
"I went to see Professor Binns before. There is nothing serious, but..."
Dumbledore shook his head slowly, rubbed his temples with his slender index finger, and sighed softly - he had already understood the specific situation. The white-haired dumpling and her little friend were actually connected.
Even the ghost refuses to let go.
There is no doubt that he should have expected this. Children will definitely be more interested in Professor Binns than dry historical information. With the history of magic class in the morning, the group headed by Elena
With four problem babies, almost all the students have become extremely interested in Professor Binns.
So in the second half of the course, the entire History of Magic course had unknowingly turned into a question and answer session similar to the so-called "Turing test" in the non-magical world - as the only one in the entire castle who could take the trouble to answer them
As for the specter of questions, Professor Binns must not only answer the scope of those History of Magic courses, but also explain some of his own stories and experiences.
So by the time Dumbledore found Professor Binns in the Room of Requirement, Professor Binns had become as thin as the morning fog at Hogwarts. On the contrary, the professor himself was in a strange mental state.
.
Compared with the dry and slow speech rate that Dumbledore was familiar with, Professor Binns' voice changed from the plain and unrhythmic narration to almost a high-frequency buzzing sound. His gray body flashed and disappeared.
It presents a contradictory state of exhaustion and excitement.
"Ghosts can also be excited", "Ghosts can also be tired", "Ghosts can also become dull"...
This was the first time Dumbledore had encountered such a bizarre thing, and even now he didn't know how to explain it.
"It's just?" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but step forward and looked at Professor Dumbledore who was unclear about his words and asked.
"Well...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 must have been under too much pressure recently. As long as he takes a short rest, he should be able to return to his teaching position quickly - as an old professor who has been restless for nearly a thousand years, it is natural to take an occasional vacation.
of.
After pondering for a few seconds, Dumbledore looked around the principal's office and continued.
"So, Hogwarts may need a substitute professor of the History of Magic during this period - Regarding this, since I have not contacted the corresponding candidate before, I recommend Mr. Otto Apokalis, temporary
Let’s do it part-time.”
Although Gellert Grindelwald is not the real "Hohenheim Paracelsus", he is the grandnephew of the famous magic historian Bathilda Bagshot, and an important figure throughout the entire modern history of magic.
As a historical figure, Grindelwald has absolutely no problem with his grasp of the history of magic.
In fact, in order to explore the secrets of ancient curses and the existence of the Deathly Hallows, the first generation Dark Lord, who once swept half of the magic world, has read ancient books that far exceed 90% of wizards - not to mention
, the anecdotes behind most of the celebrities in the wizarding world today are more or less related to Grindelwald and the saints.
Of course, whether you have the ability or not is one thing. Whether you are willing to serve as a history of magic professor and face a troublesome white-haired dumpling is another matter - at least, from An Yi slumped on the sofa in the principal's office.
Judging from Grindelwald's frozen expression, it was obvious that Dumbledore had not communicated this matter to him in advance.
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 thought that you have your own unique wisdom and extremely effective communication methods when dealing with children." Dumbledore shook his head and said seriously.
Most courses at Hogwarts have at least one substitute teacher. In this way, even if an unexpected situation occurs, the students' teaching progress will not be greatly affected - History of Magic and Dark Magic
Except defense class.
Compared to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, which has an extremely large number of candidates, the last candidate for Professor of History of Magic has been dead for almost 800 years, and even Dumbledore really couldn't find a more suitable candidate for a while.
