Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

To mention longevity, after a world-famous international alchemy contest, people naturally think of Nicholas Flamel, who has 665 years old.

Generally speaking, people who have spent such a long life should be more knowledgeable than other ordinary people.

Yes, when this theory is applied to the big Alchemist, there should be no mistake. But Marx still knows another person – another “person” who “lives” for a long time, but does not know enough about the world.

It was a “little girl” named Sarah who had spent nearly 500 years.

Therefore, “the more you know the more you live, the more you know.” This statement is probably inaccurate. Because you have only been in the area for decades, you may not really understand how those people whose ages are recorded in “hundreds” are spent.

Of course, to be precise, most of those people may not be considered a “person.”

Marx is now going to meet someone who is “not already a human being,” and the time that this person has witnessed seems to have been more than a thousand years…

“Oh–“

When Marx pushed the threshold of the teacher’s common room, he saw a white translucent apparition sitting on a chair, staring silently at the sky outside the window of the common room.

When Marx saw it, he immediately walked in and took the door behind him.

“Professor Binns,” he walked two steps forward, whispering, “Good afternoon.”

“en?”

Hearing Marx’s greetings screamed, the Hogwarts’ only ghost professor seemed to be sobered up, only to see his turning his imaginary neck, and glanced at the door.

Marx can’t be sure if he really saw himself, because looking at the eyes of Professor Binns, he felt like he was looking at the door behind Marx.

“Oh, good afternoon…” Professor Binns slowly spit out a few words, with a lot of old-fashioned in his tone. “Are you… Al Fred?”

“No, no, I can’t afford such a heavy name-” Marx hurriedly waved. “I’m Marx McLorne, a student you’ve taught… and of course, a professor at Hogwarts.” ”

Al Fred is the only one who has been awarded the title of “Great Emperor”. At least, Marx can’t remember that he used to be a king.

“McLorne… my student?” Professor Binns blinked in confusion and said slowly, “I seem to have heard it…”

“is it?”

Marx said as he sat down on the chair next to him.

“That’s a great honor!”

After a little paused, he continued: “Professor Binns, I read in “Hogwarts · A School History”, said that there is a Slytherin Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts Castle… I don’t know if this is true? ”

“Chamber of Secrets?” Bins’s old face was lost, but it was a wrath. “I haven’t read the book you said, but I know that it must not be one.” This qualified historical document – history is a multi-party evidence, but I have not seen any Chamber of Secrets from any information…”

He spoke and suddenly slammed startled.

“How do I feel… I seem to have talked about this issue with anyone else?”

The ghost professor is usually in a daze in addition to class, and almost completely lost interest in other things. In a way, he has completely regarded himself as a machine that teaches the history of magic circles.

Therefore, he seems to have remained ignorant of the riots of the Chamber of Secrets Basilisk.

“Uh……”

Marx followed, but he soon remembered that when he was in Second Year, Hermione asked Bins about once in the class of A History of Magic.

“In short, do you think Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets does not exist?”

“Not ‘I think’,” Professor Binns said in his old and gasping for breath. “This is history, it is fact – it is a past that is made up of reliable historical data. Just like the giant war, Although we have not seen it with our own eyes, many records tell us that it is a small page in the history of the wizard war!”

When I got here, the old Bings licked the beard and cleared the scorpion and said: “Since the wizard council…”

“Wait, Professor Binns -“

Seeing the ghost old man, he had to habitually start the lecture, and Marx quickly interrupted the other party.

Although he likes history very much, now is not the time to listen to him – Professor Binns is ghost, so there is no need to eat lunch, but he does not want to miss the opportunity to fill his stomach.

“Professor,” he immediately decisively brought the topic back to the original place. “History is a discipline that pays special attention to rigor. I have already understood… So, the most rigorous way of confirming a history is whether it’s personal. Experience?”

“This is of course.” Professor Binns hearing this, slightly nodded.

“Since this is the case,” Marx said calmly. “I think there is a description in the book that is correct. – Professor Binns, the person who asked you to hire the request, should it be Mr. Salazar Slytherin?”

“So, instead of believing in the accumulation of historical data, should we consult with your personal experience first?”

Since the founding of Hogwarts, almost all professors and even the course itself have changed many times, including the headmaster position. However, only the A History of Magic class has had only one professor from beginning to end. His name seems to be called “Bins Cusbert”.

However, this information is not really tangible information, because even Hogwarts has not retained such a long-term professorship.

Excluding the “Hogwarts · A School History” that was written like a fairy tale, Marx still got it by chance from other places!

“I? Personal experience?”

For Marx’s direct “demolition”, Old Bins did not show any difference. His expression is still so dry, with some sorrow and a little irritating.

“No, the time I taught at Hogwarts was not that long. Where did you hear the ridiculous rumors?”

“Where…?” Marx said slowly. “That was a eagle turned into a bronze door knocker.”

While speaking this sentence, he looked very carefully at Bins’s look. He wondered what kind of reaction would be made when the other party heard the bronze eagle.

But unfortunately, he still couldn’t find anything wrong with the white face of Professor Binns, even if it didn’t happen for a moment.

“Eagle?” Old Bins shook his head slowly. “Is it hard to say, is Rowena Ravenclaw telling you this?”

Whether the words of the Bronze Kitty are true or not, Marx can’t really be sure. Therefore, when Bins firmly denied it without any flaws, he could not confirm that what the other party said was wrong.

As the old Bins said before – history, it needs to be supported by many parties.

However, Marx is still reluctant to give up on temptation, because the nearest breakthrough from him is the year-round Professor Binns who is responsible for the A History of Magic class.

At the moment, Marx’s heart is somewhat complicated. After all, from the initial admission to Hogwarts, he has a very good admiration for the ghost professor who is teaching and educating after death.

If he can, he doesn’t really want to question this respectable old wizard.

“Professor Binns, I understand…” Marx nodded and reorganized his mind. “So, can you make up for me a little?”

“I want to know, why did Slytherin leave Hogwarts?”

After that, the old Binns told Marx about the history of the dispute between Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Two quarrels before and after, the first time was about students who received muggle–Gryffindor saw a brave student, but Slytherin did not agree with the bloodline.

Therefore, the collection of four founders willpower and the concept of the separate house ceremony, was born after Gryffindor took his hat.

The second quarrel was about the appointment of Professor Defense Against the Dark Arts.

During the discussion about whether or not the wizards who are good at dark magic should not be invited, Slytherin returned to the castle without returning, and left silently after a while.

After listening to this, Marx snorted again and asked the last question to come to the old Binns today:

“Professor,” he said quite casually. “Do you know… Have there been some terrifying disasters and hidden dangers at the beginning of the school?”

However, he only got the blame of Professor Binns, reminding him not to mix some myths and legends into history.

“Sorry, I am bothered today… Thank you for your patience.” Marx stood up from the chair and said, “So, I will go first.”

The old Bins, who floated a few inches above the chair, watched Marx turn and walked out of the common room, and he turned his head again, scanning for a week in this empty room.

Once upon a time, he seemed to have talked with the four outstanding young wizards here about the magnificent magic history, but now, there is only one “person” left…

It is said that the birth of ghost is always inevitable, so a little bit of obsession, then his obsession, is it in this ordinary comrades common room?

After a long time, Bins swayed to the window and stared at the lawn in front of the castle. There, each and everyone young wizard ran briskly, rushing to the hall door.

“I am just a professor of A History of Magic, nothing more.” He is unconsciously muttered.
