A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 704 Wizard History
The lights at Hogwarts were sparsely lit. Tonight was not much different from yesterday or the day before, but it was still a sleepless night for many.

It was very quiet in the library, allowing Hermione to lose herself in her work.

There was a thick stack of books in front of her. There were almost ten books open at the same time, but she didn't read any of them. Instead, she bit her lip and thought about it. Obviously, after the secrecy law came into effect at the end of the seventeenth century, there were no wizards. Dare to go public, if you plan to find the intersection of wizards and Muggles, you should do it before.

Hermione tried her best to recall what she had read, and occasionally pulled over a book, turned to a page number and read it carefully for a while.Gradually, a millennial picture of the magic world was outlined in her mind.

Although the author of History of Magic, Professor Bathilda Bagshot, only wrote until the end of the nineteenth century, Hermione gleaned useful information.

During the First World War in the early [-]th century, the then Minister for Magic, Archer Evermond, opted for neutrality and passed legislation banning wizards and witches from fighting in order to avoid massive breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy.

Evermond's decision was strongly condemned by Harry's great-grandfather Henry Potter at the time, and as a pure-blood and member of the Wizengamot, his approach caused a stir and was widely discussed.

Some fragments that have survived suggest that the exclusion of the Potter family from the 28 Holy Families may have had something to do with it.Wartime wizards also made their own choices - they did not violate the Statute of Secrecy and the laws of the Ministry of Magic, and were directly involved in the war, but the laws of the Ministry of Magic also failed to stop thousands of wizards who were neighbors to Muggles Be careful and help Muggles as much as you can.

Hermione recalled while flipping through the book——

In the 50th century, the Ministry of Magic agreed to allow goblins to be responsible for the operation of Gringotts; a serious Floo network accident occurred in the 60s, and the "Reasonable Restraint on Underage Wizards Act" was passed in the [-]s. Casting spells outside the campus was prohibited; at about the same time, Hogwarts administrators tried to capture and control Peeves, but failed, causing Peeves to rebel violently;
Because of Peeves' special birth principle, the principal at the time made a compromise.

Idris Oakby, founder of the Squib Support Society, was also born around this time, and it is suspected that her experience of being mistaken for a Squib in her youth may have prompted her to empathize with real Squibs; In chaos, the headquarters of the Magical Congress of America moved to the current Woolworth Building; in the last year of this century, Albus Dumbledore graduated with honors, and later gave up his graduation trip because of his mother's unexpected death. Dale and Grindelwald meet for the first time...

In addition, this century also produced some boring Quidditch news, oh, yes, Hermione remembered another thing closely related to herself: the witch Heloise Mintab in an experiment Use a time-turner to go back five centuries and get stuck in 1402 for five days.Héloise thus died, and she was much luckier...

In the [-]th century, a bill prohibiting private dragon breeding was passed, and the concept of the Unforgivable Curse was first proposed;
At that time, the law of secrecy had been implemented for nearly half a century. This law was patched and became more and more perfect, but it also made some wizards feel depressed, which attracted some opposition.Gideon Flatworthy founded an anti-Muggle extremist group, but the way they expressed their hatred was by refusing to do manual labor like Muggles (Hermione thought something like the professor's theory suggesting everyday use of magic), and In this way, a series of practical methods of summoning spells are developed.But Flatworthy didn't use the spell in the right place. He was exposed when he tried to steal Gringotts' property with the Summoning Charm. After failing, he had to flee in embarrassment to avoid capture; Leaving him alone in the cave, the organization disbanded.

It is worth mentioning that the ending of Flatworthy is not very good. He was trapped in the cave, injured and lacking food, so he dared to summon the only source of food in sight - the barn at the foot of the mountain , As a result, he was crushed to death by cattle and haystacks.

Quidditch news is never absent, the two gangs fight inexplicably, and the only thing of value is the first time the world has seen the Restoring Charm.

Rappaport Law officially enacted...

The seventeenth century began with the goblin rebellion. Eight years later, Isolt Thayer, the most important founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, went to the United States; Mungo Bonham also founded St. Mungo's Magic Wound at this time. sick hospital;
The fact that 'all magical beings except wizards are prohibited from possessing wands' was confirmed in law, along with a werewolf code of conduct, but apparently no werewolves would come forward and admit their identity.

1692 is a very important year, the "International Statute of Secrecy" officially came into effect.The wizards completely turned into hiding, and the "small community within the community" gradually formed in the following hundred years; the Magical Congress of the United States was established.

Nothing major happened in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries, many wizards have spontaneously stayed away from the crowd, and they began to pursue novel entertainment activities. The first Quidditch World Cup came into being (Quidditch again), and then the unprecedented A large collection of fouls, more than 700 foul methods are used.There's a book dedicated to keeping records, and Hermione can't believe she's ever idly flipped through it...

The [-]th century was the source of the birth of the law of secrecy. With the spread of the Black Death in Europe, everything related to or related to witchcraft was rejected, and some wizards who were active in public and semi-public activities were expelled. There have been wizard burnings, and many wizards have been forced to hide their identities, go underground or live in isolation.

In the tenth century, Hogwarts was established, and various schools of magic were established one after another.

……

As the night was getting dark, Hermione raised her head, and there was a small voice behind her. She suddenly turned her head and saw Mrs. Pince, the librarian, standing behind her. She was startled.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince, are you going to close the door?" Hermione said, jumping up suddenly.She was impressed by the stern, irascible, vulture-like woman.

Mrs. Pince shook her head, holding a cup of hot cocoa in her hand that usually held a feather duster.She put the cup on the table.

Hermione stared at Recoco in a daze, and she was so surprised that she didn't even say "thank you". When she realized it, Mrs. Pince had already left.Hermione sat down and went on with her work.She tried to combine the history of non-wizards to find a pattern, but she found nothing in the end, so she was a little discouraged.

Hot cocoa brought her vitality, she wandered among the huge bookshelves, looking for inspiration from them, her eyes slid over the title of a book, and unconsciously came to an area that was rarely set foot in. His bookshelves were filled with all sorts of decaying notes left by Hogwarts students.

Hermione picked one at random, and it contained a Hufflepuff student's travels, because some years ago, the words and sentences in the notes were quite awkward to read.She put down her travel journal and picked up another one, this time a novel.

She read with relish for a while, feeling the passage of time in surprise, she put down the book and sighed, now is not the time to read these.

But then, her eyes gradually lit up, and she seemed to have found a suitable angle just now.

　I was going to write the plot of the TV interview today, and I wanted to write some concepts of wizards from different perspectives, but the progress was very slow, so I improvised a chapter to review the history of wizards as a whole.The author picks out a few interesting but unrelated content, which may represent part of the wizard's ideas.
