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 of time in the Middle Ages when wizards had a large-scale 'out of control' behavior.

Since most wizards are "out of control", "out of control" wizards start to cause chaos, spread plague, and even slaughter Muggles.

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

The only explanation is that the 'taboo' in the Middle Ages caused a large-scale 'out of control' of wizards, and the 'out of control' of wizards led to the sacrifice and killing of a large number of Muggles, which intensified the contradiction between Muggles and wizards, and led to the beginning of Muggles. Fear, hate, and even persecute wizards.

This also explains why the wizarding world has been committed to overthrowing the original "classical magic" since modern times, and turned to those modern magics that are extremely practical although they are not powerful.

"Professor, does the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1689 have anything to do with the signing of the International Secrecy Act by the magical world?"

Qin Weijie asked again.

Qin Weijie thought about this question for a long time, mainly considering the historical data, the timing of the two is too coincidental, and the coincidence makes Qin Weijie feel that there is an inevitable connection between the two.

Professor Binns narrowed his eyes slightly, a little reluctant to answer this question, his whole person 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."

After speaking, Professor Binns began to walk out, the spirit body swaying in the wind, the color of his spirit body looked much weaker than other ghosts.

It should be because of the time. Qin Weijie thought so, an idea appeared in his mind.

"Professor, wait!" Qin Weijie stopped Professor Binns.

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

"I'm afraid your soul is about to dissipate, as short as five years, as long as ten years..."

A horrified expression appeared on Professor Binns' silver-white face.

"You... how do you know?"

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

Professor Binns pondered for a while: "Peeves, the **** Barrow, and the solidification of Nick's soul have something to do with you?"

Qin Weijie didn't answer directly, just shrugged.

"If that's 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 of me, I am a good boy who loves peace! You just need to answer a few questions for me, and 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' heartfelt Feel relieved and joyful.

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

Professor Binns began his talk.

The Glorious Revolution of 1689 did have the shadow of the wizarding 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 slaughter of wizards. They used theology to deceive people and distort the will of God. As long as they opposed them, they were heretics. They persecuted wizards and burned a large number of innocent wizards with flames.

They won't listen to the wizard's explanation, let alone whether the wizard threatens to 'out of control', as long as it's a wizard, no matter if you're out of control or not, it will be burned.

The wizards at that time were desperate, and cooperated with the new aristocracy and the emerging bourgeoisie at that time to jointly prevent the restoration of the "church" and laid the foundation for the constitutional government of the United Kingdom today.

Later, for the long-term peace between the Muggle world and the magical world, the representatives of the magical world and Muggles at that time negotiated the International Secrecy Act, temporarily hiding the magical world.

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

"That's right! During the Middle Ages, wizards were largely 'out of control', largely because of the instability of 'classical magic'. In order to change people's perceptions of wizards, the wizarding world decided to temporarily hide and develop new ones that would not easily get out of control. magic." Professor Binns recounted,

Qin Weijie added: "I think there should have been wizards who considered giving up their magical power at that time, but it turned out that the more they suppressed the magical power, the easier it was to get out of control, especially young wizards."

"Yes, you guessed correctly."

Following this logic, in 1689 wizards and the new nobles and bourgeoisie of the Muggle world jointly launched the Glorious Revolution, after which the Muggles signed the Bill of Rights, which laid the foundation of modern human civilization.

At the same time, in order to improve people's perception of wizards, the wizarding world was forced to sign the International Secrecy Act, hiding the wizarding world under the Muggle world. , and also determined to reform the 'classical magic'.

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

This should be regarded as a slow-down plan by the high-level wizards of the wizarding world~www.wuxiamtl.com~ temporarily restricting wizards, reforming the wizarding world, eliminating the risk of 'out of control', and standing in the Muggles with a new look at the appropriate time. In front of him, once again restore the previous mode of peaceful coexistence between wizards and Muggles.

From a fundamental logic point of view, there is nothing wrong with the International Secrecy Act. Qin Weijie even respects those high-level leaders who dare to break their wrists and reform the magical world.

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

Today's discussion with Professor Binns gave Qin Weijie a deeper understanding of the magical world, and more importantly, the causes and consequences of the 'Classical Magic Reform Movement'.

"Thank you very much, Professor Binns, your erudition amazes me"

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

"I will definitely fulfill your wish."

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

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

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

"Thank you so much! My dear child!"

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

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