Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 24

Facing the angry Draco, Toby said without hesitation: "Because I took the initiative to ask you to talk, so I will not deduct Slytherin's house points because of your bad attitude. But the interesting thing is that , I originally thought it would be the Longbottom family who raised objections—"

He looked at Neville, who was startled.

"Or the Weasleys."

He looked at the stupefied Ron again.

"Other Slytherin families will do as well."

He glanced over to where the Slytherin students were.

"But the only thing I didn't expect was the Malfoy family to protest first. I dare say, I have too much evidence to prove that you are a mixed-blood family, but you won't understand these words, I don't mind finding a Chance to talk to Lucius in person, yes, I know your father, Draco. He was years ahead of me in school, but I knew him, and he finally got to know me after graduation, even It's ridiculous to think of me as a threat to his status. Speaking carefully, his status at that time was also very delicate, he—”

At this moment, Principal Dumbledore coughed twice.

Toby smacked his mouth twice, and he let Draco, who was already frightened, sit down.

"Okay, let's not talk about bloodlines, let's move the topic back to ancient magic."

"As I said at the beginning, I want to teach you something, but it's not as good as making you truly aware of the importance of ancient magic, nor is it as good as letting you learn ancient magic spontaneously."

"This is a course of great significance and has a close connection with the entire wizarding world."

"In the process of my research on ancient magic, there has always been an unchanging idea-the level of magic power in the entire magic world is declining, far inferior to earlier ages, such as the Middle Ages, and the ancient times even earlier. Greek period."

"Of this - 1379 - I call this the year when ancient magic died."

"Because there was a wizard duel contest held that year, and four wizards made it to the semi-finals. There was nothing to say about the first match, at most it belonged to the category of human body deformation and Animagus. Became a bull and a viper, and the viper won."

"But in the next game, one wizard created a huge storm cloud, using lightning to attack the opponent. The other wizard created a powerful whirlwind, and not only blew away the storm, but also the judges, Most of the audience and a few trees."

"There is no doubt that these two powerful magics belong to ancient magic."

"But then in the final round, a wizard uttered a long and complicated spell that, if he had had the chance to finish it, would have caused a mountain to rise and fall on top of his opponent. superior."

"But he lost the game, and it was only because the opponent cast a disarming spell—yes, you heard it right, it's the disarming spell, and the spell is to disarm you."

"Since then, there has never been such a grand scene in the wizard duel contest. Every match has a complete record. You can find relevant information in the library."

"But on the other hand, perhaps only a few people can realize that the overall level of magic power in the wizarding world is gradually decreasing, so it is becoming more and more difficult for wizards to cast such powerful magic."

"For example, the ancient Greek wizard - the invincible Andros, he can summon a giant-sized patron saint, which is unprecedented, and has never happened again."

"The magic world has gradually transformed into an older and more powerful existence. If you don't believe me, you can ask Principal Dumbledore if he can summon a giant-sized patron saint."

The students looked at Dumbledore curiously, but Dumbledore just smiled back without saying a word.

Toby took a sip of lemonade, looked at the students and asked, "So, are you interested in learning ancient magic now?"

The students nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Then do you want to know the reason for the decline in magic power level?"

The students nodded faster. It was hard to imagine what kind of honor this would be. The Ministry of Magic would definitely award the founder with the Order of Merlin, First Class.

The kind Professor Haimer showed a big smile.

"Very well, I want to know too."

The students were dumbfounded. They only heard Toby continue: "This will be your homework for this class. Write a paper on guessing the reason for the decrease in the magic level. It should be at least twelve inches long and hand it in before the next class."

At the same time, the bell for the end of get out of class finally rang, and the students walked out of the classroom in a daze. They were fascinated by the sound, and they didn't understand why they suddenly assigned homework.

This is the first day of school.

Toby smiled and looked at the empty classroom. The first class was not bad. He felt that he was at least two to one compared with Snape.

At this time, Dumbledore's words came faintly: "The specific location of Loch Ness, the blood composition of the wizards, and the speculation that the level of magic power has decreased. Toby, you really gave me a problem."

Toby shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "At least the students seem to like it."

His performance was very natural, but Al, who pinched Dumbledore's shoulders attentively, still revealed his uneasiness. No matter what Toby thought, Al didn't want to be kicked out of school after one class. That's enough for this assistant.

Just as Toby secretly glanced at the expression on Dumbledore's face from the corner of his eye, Dumbledore stood up directly and put a copy of "The Tales of Beedle Poet" on the desk.

He walked outside the classroom, turned his back to Toby and said, "I suggest you read the story "Fountain of Good Luck" carefully, and there will be my comments in the back."

After Dumbledore disappeared in the corridor, Toby quickly opened the storybook, turned to the page of "Fountain of Good Luck", and looked directly to the back.

It did say Headmaster Dumbledore's comment on the story.

[Mr. Lucius Malfoy, he is a member of the Hogwarts School Board.Mr. Malfoy submitted a written request to have the story banned: Any work of fiction or non-fiction depicting a wizard-Muggle marriage should be banned from the Hogwarts bookshelves.I don't want my son to be influenced by reading stories that promote wizard-Muggle marriages, and tarnish the purity of his blood. 】

[I refuse to remove this library and have the support of a majority of the board.I wrote back to Mr. Malfoy explaining my decision: so-called pure-blood families, by denying or lying, denying that there are Muggles or Muggle-borns in their family in order to maintain their claimed bloodlines pure.They also try to impose this hypocrisy of theirs on the rest of us to ban works that tell the truth they deny.Every wizard in the world has Muggle blood in their veins, so I do not think it reasonable or ethical to purge the subject from the repertoire of our students' knowledge. 】

"ah!"

Al excitedly pointed at the content of Dumbledore's reply, and Toby gave it a light high-five: "I know, Al."

"It's time to prepare for a long stay at Hogwarts."

At the same time, the content of the first ancient magic class was also constantly being spread, some were amazed, some were incredible, and some were angry and accused.

The whole Hogwarts is boiling!
