Chapter 35 Death (Thanks to the leader of Chen Yi Sain!)
Hermione wrote a two-foot-long parchment letter of complaint, but did not send it to Dumbledore immediately.
Because she also wrote a letter of criticism and suggestions, and when she passed the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, she secretly slipped it in through the crack in the door while no one was seeing it.
Hermione thought that the letter she wrote was well-founded, powerful and measured, and it was enough to touch Quirrell's soul.
He should be able to make changes soon, and even if things get worse, he will resign voluntarily to save himself some dignity.
But if you are still stubborn and not afraid of boiling water... well, you are stubborn and insist on your own class style, Hermione will use her strongest method:
Drop the complaint letter into the principal's mailbox!
Be more cruel and cold...
Submit two letters!!
Rolf wasn't sure whether he could touch Quirrell's soul, but Professor Binns' soul really needed someone to touch it.
After all, if Quirrell pulls his hips, he will only teach for one year, and those who will be buried next year will grit their teeth and endure it, but everyone will have to endure Professor Binns for seven years.
As the only ghost professor, Professor Binns is definitely a model of dedication. Even though he became a ghost, he still insisted on taking classes without getting any salary, bonus, or teaching assistant, all year round...
When they were students, those school governors hated Professor Binns' History of Magic and wished they could change teachers as soon as possible. But when they grew up and became school governors, they immediately fell in love with this old ghost.
This is probably what is called: slander Binsi when you are ignorant, appreciate Binsi when you are mature, and when you are paying wages... I want everyone to become Binsi!
The annual Hogwarts Outstanding Professor Model Worker Award is also awarded to Professor Binns. He has been monopolizing the profession for hundreds of years and has created a record that can never be broken.
Even Snape, who has always liked yin and yang, is blameless.
But a good employee in the eyes of a school director is not a good teacher in the eyes of students.
As a ghost that has existed for a long time, Professor Binns certainly has rich historical knowledge, but as a ghost, he cannot touch new magic history books, let alone read their contents.
He also didn’t want to understand the “history” that had been resealed with the great discoveries of archeology.
Professor Binns is like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and without any vitality. The emcee who presides over the funeral is more passionate than him; the dementors in Azkaban are more energetic than him when "kissing" the prisoners.
"In the Fertile Crescent, the Mesopotamian region of Mesopotamia, wizards gathered to establish early states... Eridu, Kish, Lagash, Uruk, Ur and Nippur
…”
In the first History of Magic class, the little wizards of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor listened to Professor Binns' low and monotonous voice, just like listening to the hum of an old vacuum cleaner.
"In order to compete for population resources such as Muggles, wars often break out in the wizarding country, causing tsunamis in the Mediterranean Sea and large floods that submerge the land, and the wizarding country is destroyed..."
"Wizards scattered around the world began to serve as Muggle priests and temple personnel to protect them from magical animals, and the inheritance of magic passed through the temple Jiculata..."
Professor Binns talked about the history of the founding and destruction of the early wizarding countries, and read the "Epic of Gilgamesh" in an emotionless tone.
This is the Sumerian Muggle's hymn to the powerful wizard Gilgamesh at that time!
The class had only started for three minutes, and Neville, who was motivated to study hard, had already fallen asleep on the table. He was not holding Leif, which made him sleep a little unsteadily.
Hannah yawned for a long time, reached out and grabbed her two braids, and lifted them up, trying to wake up, but in the end she staggered and fell on the table and fell asleep.
Bones, who was eating cake secretly, had bulging cheeks. Halfway through the meal, he couldn't resist Professor Binns' hypnosis. He dived into the food and had cream all over his face.
After ten minutes of class, a quarter of the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students were already asleep; after twenty minutes of class, half of them were already asleep, and the other half... had just woken up, during the intermission.
!
Hermione was probably the only sober student, but in order to cheer herself up, she stood there writing notes and did a few breast expansion exercises.
"Gilgamesh was devastated by the death of his best friend. He held Enkidu's body and cried for seven days and seven nights. He didn't let go until the body was putrid..."
Professor Binns didn't seem to notice that the students were all asleep. He was still reading the epic poem immersedly, his voice was dull and boring.
"Gilgamesh, who knew the horror of death, began to search for the God of Death in order to live forever... He passed through Mount Marsh, the Abyss of Darkness, and the Sea of Death..."
Rove, who had just woken up and finished doing breast expansion exercises with Hermione, raised his hand and asked: "Professor Binns, is there really a God of Death?"
Professor Binns' lecture was interrupted and he raised his head in surprise. He looked at Luo Fe and said in a slow voice: "You are..."
"My name is Rolf Scamander, and I am a student of Hufflepuff House. Professor, you just said that Gilgamesh is looking for the God of Death. Is there really a God of Death?"
Professor Binns frowned. He didn't like students asking questions, so he said in a cold voice:
"Of course not. It's nothing. It's something Muggles made up to comfort themselves."
"The powerful wizards in ancient times were gods in the eyes of Muggles, thus giving rise to many myths... But this does not mean that these myths are true, such as the God of Death."
A quarter of the students woke up because normal voices appeared in the classroom, making them think get out of class was over.
Neville stood up in confusion and walked towards the door, but found that get out of class had not ended yet, so he blushed and sat back hurriedly.
"Professor, you just said that powerful wizards are gods in the eyes of Muggles, which has spawned many stories." Rolf thought for a moment and asked:
"According to your line of thinking, can we also think that there are more powerful existences, which are gods in the eyes of wizards, thus giving rise to many stories about wizards..."
The young man paused and continued: "It's like the God of Death in the story of the three brothers."
Professor Binns was immediately speechless. He was silent for a long time before he said dryly:
"I have never seen any evidence in the real world that the story of the three brothers is more than a legend - the invincible wand, the stone that brings the dead, the invisibility cloak...
There are indeed invisibility cloaks, but they are all cloaks woven using the Disguise Charm or the hair of invisible beasts. They will appear physical over time and cannot be permanently effective."
Rolf was a little disappointed. He thought that Professor Binns, who was well versed in the history of magic, would have some good insights after surviving as a ghost for so many years.
But he seems completely unaware of the concept of "Deathly Hallows".
"Professor, to be offensive, doesn't the existence of ghosts mean that wizards don't completely disappear after death? Life and death are not either/or concepts, and death is not the end of life."
"Nonsense, Skadi!" Professor Binns finally couldn't stand it anymore, "I only study real history and don't discuss stories and legends!"
"Two points from Slytherin!!"
"..."
Hermione on the side saw that Rolf had been reprimanded, and her whole little face and light eyebrows were wrinkled together. She stretched her neck and raised her hands in dissatisfaction:
"Professor, since you are not discussing stories and legends, why are you reading the Epic of Gilgamesh? Isn't that just a story?"
Professor Binns was furious and scolded:
"Miss Pennyfeather, for contradicting the teacher, two points will be deducted from Slytherin!"
All the students were awake, looking at this inexplicable quarrel. They didn't know the cause and effect. They only saw Professor Binns scolding the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students, and then dunked...
Two points for Slytherin!
Two students in a row admitted that they were wrong. The probability is too high. Doesn’t that mean... this has given the little lions unlimited inspiration!
In an instant, all the Gryffindor students were no longer sleepy. They raised their hands and rushed to ask questions.
"Professor, I have an immature idea about life and death..."
"Professor, can you tell me how to become a ghost?"
"Professor...I am Draco Malfoy from Slytherin!"
