Hogwarts Slytherin

The next day, History of Magic classroom.

Because Professor Binns is very old, he appears to be very stubborn and has difficulty communicating with the students.

The format of Professor Binns's lectures was unchanged, and he always read from the script.

He "spoke in a breathy, drawl-like manner," which made it difficult to concentrate and would soon fall into a drowsy state.

He doesn't seem to mind that most of the students in the class desert or sleep during class

After a while, almost all the students in the audience were lying on the table in uniform.

Reggie was very grateful for his strong willpower. Even so, he had to work up a lot of energy to listen carefully.

Professor Binns was very old when Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded, but he was well-read, had a strong memory, and had a quick mind.

So he was hired as the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts.

Until one day, when he went to class as usual, he forgot to take his body with him, and died as a result.

Reggie was skeptical.

But there is no doubt that he was a great teacher.

Unlike many ghosts who stayed because of fear of death, Professor Binns stayed just because he still had to attend classes.

After his death, he did not stop his teaching career and became the only ghost professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Professor Binns' monotonous voice continued on the podium. The topic he was talking about today was the goblin rebellion.

The Goblin Rebellion is a series of rebellious movements launched by goblins to resist wizards' misconceptions and prejudices against them. This movement was still very common in the last century.

From Professor Binns' explanation, we can learn that among the common goblin rebellions, only three are of the most historical significance.

The first time occurred near the village of Hogsmeade in 1612. The Three Broomsticks pub was used by the goblins at that time as the wizard liaison headquarters.

The riot did not last long and was quickly suppressed by powerful wizards.

The main reason for this rebellion was that the then Goblin King Legnarc I believed that Godric Gryffindor had stolen his sword. This was also the reason why he set up the headquarters of the rebellion in Hogsmeade because it Next to it is Hogwarts.

Of course, the reason given by the goblins is that the goblins have not been treated fairly.

The trigger was a lack of training by troll security sent to Gringotts by the Ministry of Magic, which led to the death of a goblin named Nagnok.

The second rebellion occurred in 1752, and this time the scale of the rebellion was even larger, sweeping across the entire United Kingdom.

As a result, two ministers of magic resigned - because of mishandling, the then minister of magic, Albert Butt, resigned.

His successor, Basil Fleck, was obviously not much better than him. After the goblins and werewolves formed an alliance, he also chose to resign in despair.He has only been the Minister of Magic for two months, and is also the Minister of Magic who has been in office for the shortest time.

After that, it was not until the then head of the Auror Office, Hephaestus Gale, took over that the rebellion was successfully suppressed.

This minister was tough and did not retire until the past two years. Regis was somewhat impressed with him.

He felt that the minister was somewhat similar to Umbridge in that he was too aggressive towards non-human creatures, and the many subsequent attacks had a lot to do with his refusal to implement the werewolf rehabilitation program.

The third rebellion occurred in 1788, when a group of young wizards pushed a goblin activist, Sloppy Ghost Lara, into a village pond.

The latter was also the goblin leader of this bloody rebellion.

Hearing this, Rui Ji had to sigh with emotion, naughty boy, he is really short-handed.

These are the three most famous goblin rebellions in history.

In fact, I have to mention that in 1865, the Ministry of Magic made a major decision-to let the goblins take full control of Gringotts.

At this point, the goblins' rebellion has truly come to an end.

Today, the basic rights and interests of goblins are protected, and there has been no rebellion for a long time.

However, according to the Daily Prophet: "Wizards should be more vigilant. The goblin subversion group still has not given up on subverting the rule of the Ministry of Magic."

The goblin writing is very similar to ancient runes. Reggie learned that in the goblin magic, they seem to be very good at curses and undoing curses.

There is a big contradiction between goblins, no, all intelligent magical creatures, and wizards.

In 1631, the Ministry of Magic issued a decree prohibiting the use of wands by all magical creatures except wizards.

Schelling raised his hand.

Professor Binns, who was immersed in his own world on the podium, was interrupted and looked very surprised.

"This classmate?"

Hearing that Professor Binns' "Maleficent Curse" was interrupted, all the young wizards raised their heads, and their blank eyes turned between Professor Binns and Reggie.

"I am Reggie Duke, professor. Sorry to interrupt, since goblins can still cast spells without the power of a wand, why can't we wizards? After all, complicated spell casting techniques will be wasted to a certain extent. Fighting time.”

Professor Binns seemed to be stuck. He would remain rigid and motionless when he was thinking seriously about a problem.

The other students came into high spirits.

Although most people frequently fail to cast spells even with a wand, this does not prevent them from wanting to understand the principles of wandless spellcasting.

After the cache was over, Professor Binns adjusted his glasses and began to speak in his dry voice again.

"Actually, it's a matter of elemental affinity. In the past, wizards could also cast spells without a wand. However, due to the instability of the wizard's magic power and emotions, not only was the success rate unstable, but the target of the spell and the effect of the spell often deviated, making it difficult to Anticipated consequences."

"Until one day a great master of alchemy appeared and he invented the wand, which greatly improved the success rate of wizards in casting spells. The wand is a magical item with sentience, and wizards can use it to guide themselves of magical power, thereby concentrating its effects to achieve complex purposes.”

"I understand, thank you Professor."

In this way, the wand is actually equivalent to a transformer.

Since there are strong and weak wizards, Reggie doesn't believe that the weak among the goblins can willingly give up the right to use the wand just like that, knowing the benefits of the wand?

You must know that among all the races recorded in the history of magic that have had wars with wizards, only goblins are still active in the magic world.

Now they almost control the economic lifeline of the entire magical world. If there is another rebellion...

Today's History of Magic assignment is to write a thirteen-inch essay on the Goblin Rebellion, plus two inches of insights into wandless spellcasting.

The latter was obviously added temporarily. Faced with the angry and complaining looks from everyone, Reggie turned the black wand in his hand calmly.

The little wizards all wailed and looked back.
