Chapter 40 The boring history of magic
"Well, there is another explanation..." Albert said with a weird expression: "Among Muggles, a group of professional scientists have discovered a substance, which is a protein that can catalyze the formation of eggshells, and this This protein is only found in the ovaries of chickens. In other words, if there were no chickens, there would be no such protein, and it would be impossible to form eggshells. The formation of eggshells can protect the chicks from being successfully hatched, so they concluded that the chicken came first and then the egg.”
After these words, everyone froze immediately, even the little wizards from the Muggle world.
“I know you don’t understand, but the answer to the chicken first has been verified by someone.” Albert explained
"So..." Katrina asked tentatively, "Do you think there was a phoenix first and then a fire?"
"No, the magical world is different from the Muggle world." Albert shook his head and said, "The phoenix and fire, I think, should be a cycle. The phoenix will be reborn from the fire after death, and its life will only cycle forever. I think There’s no point in exploring the Phoenix’s origins.”
Katrina raised her eyebrows, Albert's answer was not bad.
"Awesome, not many Ravenclaw students can answer it right the first time." The Ravenclaw boy behind Albert couldn't help but praise, "By the way, my name is Luo Jay Davis, nice to meet you.”
There is no other way, I have to submit.
Roger Davis actually faced questions about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, but he answered them all wrong.
Most of the new Ravenclaw students are unable to pass the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. If they want to enter or exit the lounge, they always need to be escorted by an upperclassman from Ravenclaw, which is always inconvenient.
"I'm curious, why were you sorted into Gryffindor?" Roger Davies asked what everyone was curious about.
“Who knows?”
The conversation ended here, because Professor Binns walked through the blackboard into the History of Magic classroom. This entrance was really eye-opening.
Ten minutes later, all the students in the classroom looked drowsy.
It is not without reason that History of Magic is known as the most boring course. Professor Binns always reads the contents of the book in a monotonous voice, and everyone just jots down important names and dates, even if Vinclaw's students were also unable to resist this hypnosis.
The only person who is still alive in the classroom is Albert. He has a piece of candy in his mouth.
I am reading a book seriously and occasionally taking notes in another book.
"It's unimaginable that you can resist Professor Binns' hypnosis!" After class, the Weasley twins looked at Albert with admiration, each putting a hand on his shoulders, "Please be sure to read the History of Magic Lend us a copy of his notes."
Li Jordan has taken the History of Magic from Albert's hand with a smile.
“What do you think?” Albert rolled his eyes. In the History of Magic course, he was multitasking~www..com~ taking notes without falling behind.
For this reason, Albert also specially upgraded his dual-tasking ability to level 2.
However, it is really useful to use it to get through the history of magic. After all, there are still five years of history lessons to take.
“Do you know? There are rumors about Professor Cuthbert Binns.”
“What rumor?” The three of them were immediately attracted to attention.
"According to records in a history of Hogwarts." Albert whispered, "Professor Binns did not notice that he was dead, at least at the beginning."
“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 staff room. He was, of course, quite old by then.”
Before the meal, the three of them had already copied a copy of the History of Magic.
“Do we have any classes this afternoon?” George asked. He couldn’t wait to ride Charlie’s comet around.
“There is another class in the afternoon, which is Transfiguration class.” Li Qiaodan said regretfully.
Albert muttered: "I dare say this is definitely the easiest course!"
Is it not easy to have three classes a day?
In other words, British people who don’t pay attention to lunch just eat something casually at this time.
Albert gave up the intention of preparing a sandwich for himself. He hated eating sandwiches all day long. After drinking some pumpkin juice and a few pieces of stewed potatoes, he ended his lunch hastily.
The twins planned to take advantage of this time to go out for a walk, but Albert thought it should be after the Transfiguration class. After all, they would have enough time and energy then. As for the period between lunch and before class, Albert planned to go to the castle. Rest in the courtyard and read a book.
The courtyard is full of students. They gather in groups to chat, and some bring lunch here.
Hogwarts in September no longer has the sweltering heat of summer, not to mention that it just rained yesterday and the breeze brings the coolness of autumn.
“It would be great if I could conjure a cushion.” Albert sat on the lawn and couldn’t help but sigh, “I suddenly felt that it is quite important to learn transfiguration well.”
“No, no, this is definitely not a reason to learn Transfiguration well.” Lee Jordan couldn’t help but complain.
“What do you think is in that forest?” Fred asked suddenly, looking at the Forbidden Forest in the distance.
“Dumbledore said there were werewolves in there.”
“There are also centaurs.”
“There are probably other magical creatures,” Albert continued. “Perhaps the gamekeepers also keep some strange creatures in the woods.”
For example, the Thestral, the eight-eyed spider, the giant...
"By the way, how are you doing with the Disguise Charm?" George changed the topic. He didn't plan to go to the Forbidden Forest just yet. They like to take risks and find excitement, not to die, and werewolves have a bad reputation in the magical world. Obviously, one bite and it's all over.
At present, when they can start night tours is their biggest concern.
"It's so fast. It's not easy to master the Disillusionment Curse." Albert took out his wand, recited a spell, and tapped it lightly on a fallen leaf.
The color on the surface of the leaf began to change, as if it blended into his palm.
“It feels different from what I imagined.” Li Qiaodan scratched his head and said.
"You may not be able to tell it from a distance, but in fact..." Albert shook his head helplessly: "You will notice it immediately if you look up close."
“A bit like a chameleon.”
“Its principle is similar to the protective color of a chameleon.” Albert did not directly use the experience pool experience to upgrade the Disguise Spell. He planned to spend time on his own and slowly explore it, and he would feel a sense of accomplishment when he completely mastered it.
The learning process is still very important. Only in this way can he feel like going to school at Hogwarts. He doesn't want to miss this experience.
Albert has been preparing to spend two months learning the Disguise Curse on his own.
