Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 31 Rice: Looking forward to Professor Quirrell’s second phase

what's the situation! Why is this class so hypnotic? !

After Les pushed the sleepiness out of his mind, he was confused.

He really couldn't understand how someone could make the lectures so bland, boring, and hypnotic. Professor Binns' sound like a ventilator, paired with the afternoon sunshine, has a hypnotic effect that exceeds the hypnotic spell.

Les raised his head and looked around: Daphne lowered her head, as if she had fallen asleep. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were sitting in the corner of the classroom, looking very awake, but they saw the three people on the table. After the wizard's chess, Les understood why they had stayed awake.

At Ravenclaw Academy, which is known for its intelligence and love of learning, almost no one is listening carefully. After half an hour, even I can't understand what everyone writes in their notes. Hermione was the only one who successfully withstood Professor Binns' hypnotic sound waves and took notes seriously, and was amazed by Les.

Les decided to ask Hermione to borrow his notes after class. Although he didn't think Professor Binns had anything valuable to say, he still wanted to take a look. What if he could find gold?

When he thought of this, Les couldn't help but sigh: How did Binns become what he is now? Turning into a ghost doesn't necessarily mean your personality will change drastically, right?

Could it be that……

Rice had a terrible suspicion in his mind: Has Professor Binns’ teaching quality deteriorated to this level before his death? Is there something wrong with the tenure system for professors at Hogwarts?

Finally, the course is over. Professor Binns picked up his lesson plan and went directly through the blackboard behind him to go back to the staff lounge to rest. The little wizards in the classroom gradually woke up.

Unforgettable course!

After borrowing the notes from Hermione and looking through them, Rice determined that today's History of Magic did not contain anything of value.

He couldn't hold himself any longer: With such a history of magic professor, can the young wizards at Hogwarts really learn the history of magic well? It's better to read the book History of Magic in the dormitory.

Starting today, Rice's class schedule will be closed for Monday. Taking this kind of water lesson is simply a waste of life! If I usually miss my notes, borrowing my notes to read before the end of the semester is considered to be abiding by the school rules.

It is difficult for people like Rice to be bound by secular rules. If you let him sit in the classroom and be in a daze like other students, it's better to go to bed as soon as possible. He will have everything in his dreams.

Today he did not just throw the table and leave. It was purely to show respect to Professor Binns who had worked hard for a thousand years and was still making contributions to the school after his death.

In the days that followed, Rice followed his classmates in taking Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, Astronomy and other courses offered by Hogwarts.

After taking these classes one after another, Les felt that his eyes had been opened.

Compared with a thousand years ago, modern magic teaching is more systematic and institutionalized, and the textbooks are better revised. This is a good thing.

Rice had a brief contact with it and felt that overall, modern magical education must have made huge progress compared to thousands of years ago, but it also has its shortcomings.

To summarize, the lower limit is lowered and the upper limit is lowered. The average level of students trained by modern magic education is definitely higher than that of the Middle Ages, but the probability of emergence of top powerhouses is also much lower.

In this era, I am afraid that no wizards as powerful as myself and my three old friends will be born.

Thinking about it this way, Dumbledore is indeed powerful. To have such strength in such an environment, he can be regarded as the darling of the times.

However, I have only taken a few introductory classes, so it is indeed a bit hasty to draw this conclusion. The specific details remain to be seen in depth.

The professors of the required courses at Hogwarts are even more distinguished. For example, Professor McGonagall, who teaches transfiguration, actually showed off her Animagus transformation when she gave the first class to the freshmen. .

Animagus!

This type of wizard who can transform into an animal is rare in any era, and only a handful of people are registered.

But not all professors of required courses are elites...

Professor Quirrell, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, was so stupid that Les was scared.

The classroom where he taught was filled with the smell of garlic, which everyone said was to ward off a vampire he met in Romania.

Les scoffed: Garlic can't fight vampires. Wizards who hope that garlic can exorcise demons might as well break their wands and become Muggle priests, so that they can at least blow vampires' heads off with a cross.

Professor Quirrell wears his iconic scarf, which he says was a gift from a prince as a thank you for helping him get rid of the resurrected zombies. However, when the student asked how to deal with the resurrected zombies, he couldn't explain why. This greatly undermines the veracity of his story.

Les was also quite speechless: Be it zombies or vampires, just blast them with a spell and that's it. If you can't kill them with an explosion spell, add a burning spell. If it doesn't work, just seal it. How can there be so much nonsense? ?

But if Quirrell is a complete waste, Rice doesn't agree. This professor has a big secret hidden in him. To be more specific, there is something fishy in his turban.

His turban contained very evil power, comparable to the pollution in the soul of Daphne's sister Astoria.

Maybe that's the real Quirrell, or maybe it's some crooked means Quirrell used to gain power. This was very common in the magic world a thousand years ago. Wizards could do all kinds of crazy things in order to become powerful. .

No matter what, Les believed that Professor Quirrell would never look like the doormat he is now in a real life-and-death fight.

Les was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, it is said that the professors who teach Defense Against the Dark Arts in recent years only have one-year terms, so he may not be able to see them anymore.

On Friday, the Slytherin students will have Potions class with the new Gryffindor students, which is what Rice is looking forward to the most.

Can you really be Head of Slytherin if you're not good at Potions?

I don’t know since when, the headmaster of Slytherin House has been bound to Potions.

Professor Snape is a master of Potions, and it is said that the previous generation of Dean, Professor Slughorn, was also a giant in Potions. Going forward, there are also endless potions masters in Slytherin House, which have become the label of Slytherin.

The roots here may be traced back to Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin House, who was the top potions master of that era.

Maybe he planted the gene that makes Slytherin House good at potions.

Potions classes are located underground, like the Slytherin House common room. The students were taught by Snape in a damp and dark underground classroom.

Not only is it colder than the main castle building on the ground, there are also many glass jars placed on the walls of the classroom, with many ferocious-looking specimens soaked in them.

Even students from Slytherin House couldn't help but get goosebumps when they walked in here.

After the bell rang, Snape picked up the roster at hand.

He started calling names one by one.

He paused when Harry's name was called.
