Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord

Chapter 38 History of Magic, 1689 (Part 2)

Judging from Professor Binns' explanation, Qin Weijie made a bold assumption.

The so-called "for many reasons" most likely refers to a period in the Middle Ages when wizards had a large-scale "out of control" behavior.

Since most wizards were 'out of control', the 'out of control' wizards began to create chaos, spread plagues, and even slaughter Muggles.

If not, it cannot be explained. In the fifth century AD, people still respected wizards, but after a period of time, they associated wizards with words such as evil, terror, chaos, disease, and death. The only thing that can be associated with these words is 'taboo'.

The only explanation is that the "taboo" in the Middle Ages caused a large area of ​​"out of control" among wizards, and the "out of control" of wizards led to a large number of Muggles being sacrificed and killed, which intensified the conflict between Muggles and wizards, and led to the beginning of Muggles. Fear, loathe and even persecute wizards.

This also explains why the magic world has devoted itself to overthrowing the original "classical magic" since modern times, and turned around to choose those contemporary magics that are not powerful but extremely practical.

"Professor, is there any relationship between the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1689 and the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy by the magic world?"

Qin Weijie asked again.

Qin Weijie thought about this question for a long time, mainly because based on historical data, the timing of the two was too coincidental, so coincidental that Qin Weijie felt that the two seemed to have an inevitable connection.

Professor Binns narrowed his eyes slightly, and was a little unwilling to answer this question. He acted like I didn't hear it, I didn't know, and I didn't want to say it.

"Son, I really can't tell you this."

As he spoke, Professor Binns began to walk out. His spirit body was swaying in the wind. The color of his spirit body seemed much weaker than other ghosts.

It should be because the time is too long, Qin Weijie thinks so, an idea appeared in his mind.

"Professor, wait!" Qin Weijie called to stop Professor Binns.

Professor Binns turned around in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid your soul is about to dissipate. The shortest is five years, and the longest is ten years..."

A horrified expression appeared on Professor Binns' silvery face.

"You... how do you know?"

"I can help you renew your life, no, it should be requiem."

Professor Binns thought for a while: "Peeves, Bloodman Barrow, and the solidification of Nick's soul are related to you?"

Qin Weijie didn't answer directly, but just shrugged.

"If this is the case, I believe you can do it..." Professor Binns said: "I don't ask what your purpose is, as long as you can let me continue to teach at Hogwarts, even if you want to destroy I don't care about the world..."

Qin Weijie smiled bitterly: "Professor, who do you think I am? I am a good boy who loves peace! You just need to answer a few questions for me. Also, I know something about 'taboos', 'Out of control' and the 'classical magic' thing."

"I see. No wonder you came to ask me those questions. It seems that you have found clues to the truth from the context of history." Professor Binns looked at Qin Weijie with relief. At this moment, Qin Weijie could feel Professor Binns' sincere heart Feel relieved and joyful.

"Your question just now is very sharp, and most people really can't answer you. But I can, because that is the life I have experienced..."

Professor Binns began his talk.

The Glorious Revolution in 1689 did have the shadow of the magical world. King James II of England attempted to restore the rule of the "church" during his reign.

In the Middle Ages, the "church" was the biggest force that advocated the massacre of wizards. They used theology to confuse people and distort the will of God. Anyone who opposed them was heresy. They persecuted wizards wantonly and burned a large number of innocent wizards with flames.

They won't listen to wizards to explain,

It doesn't matter whether the wizard is threatened with "out of control", as long as it is a wizard, regardless of whether you are "out of control", you will be burned, and you would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

The wizards at that time were desperate, and cooperated with the new aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie at that time to prevent the restoration of the 'church' and lay the foundation for the constitutional government of Britain today.

Later, for the long-term peace between the Muggle world and the wizarding world, the wizarding world and Muggle representatives discussed the "International Statute of Secrecy" to temporarily hide the wizarding world.

"The purpose of hiding the magic world is...? To reform 'classical magic'!?" Qin Weijie interrupted Professor Binns' narration and deduced his logic about the history of magic.

"That's right! During the Middle Ages, wizards were 'out of control' on a large scale, largely because of the instability of 'classical magic'. In order to change people's perceptions of wizards, the wizarding world decided to hide temporarily and develop new ones, so that it is not easy to get out of control magic." Professor Binns said,

Qin Weijie added: "I think there were some wizards who considered giving up their magical power at that time, but they found that the more they suppressed their magical power, the easier it was for them to lose control, especially for young wizards."

"Yes, you guessed right."

Following this logic, in 1689 wizards and the new aristocrats and bourgeoisie of the Muggle world jointly launched the Glorious Revolution. Afterwards, the Muggles signed the Bill of Rights, laying the foundation for modern human civilization.

At the same time, in order to improve people's views on wizards, the wizarding world was forced to sign the "International Statute of Secrecy", hiding the wizarding world under the Muggle world. , and at the same time made up his mind to reform 'classical magic'.

Fundamentally, the so-called "International Statute of Secrecy" is largely a protection for wizards.

This should be regarded as a delaying strategy for the high-level wizarding world. Temporarily restrict wizards, carry out reforms in the wizarding world, eliminate the risk of 'out of control', and stand in front of Muggles with a new look at an appropriate time, and restore the previous wizards again. Mode for living in peace with Muggles.

From a fundamental logic point of view, there is nothing wrong with the International Statute of Secrecy. Qin Weijie even respects those high-level officials who dare to reform the magic world with such a strong man.

History is a very interesting thing. Many details are hidden in the historical text. Only by finding clues can the truth be discovered.

Today's discussion with Professor Binns gave Qin Weijie a deeper understanding of the magic world, and even more so, the cause and effect of the 'Classical Magic Reform Movement'.

"Thank you very much, Professor Binns, I am amazed by your erudition"

"I'm just an old ghost who likes to witness history. I just want to witness the development of this world and record them..."

"I will certainly grant your wish."

Qin Weijie chuckled, and the seal in his hand changed, and a requiem talisman appeared on Qin Weijie's fingertips.

Qin Weijie took advantage of the situation, and the requiem talisman entered between Professor Binns' eyebrows. Professor Binns' spiritual body solidified a little bit, and his body continued to solidify.

"This is just the simplest requiem talisman. After a while, I will use yellow paper and cinnabar to make a more powerful talisman for you. It should be able to ensure that your soul will not be lost again for five or six hundred years..."

"Thank you so much! My dear boy!"

Qin Weijie smiled: "Professor Binns, there is one more thing. I hope you can keep this matter a secret. I don't want the ghosts of the whole school or the whole of Britain to come to me. I will be very distressed."

"You can rest assured, I swear on my soul..."
