After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

How magic appeared and who was the first person to use magic is now impossible to verify, just like the debate about whether the chicken or the egg came first.

According to the History of Magic, before 900 AD, the entire magic world and the human world lived in harmony. At that time, wizards, elves, dwarves, dragons, goblins, werewolves and other races flourished.

It’s okay for races like dragons and goblins, as they are obviously not human. However, it’s different for wizards, as they look exactly like humans.

So it's still the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first.

Who can tell clearly whether it was first a group of wizards, then some non-magic aliens were born among them, and these aliens eventually formed human society, or whether it was first ordinary human tribes, then some magic-savvy wizards appeared among ordinary people, and these wizards gathered together and finally formed the magic world.

Human beings are complex creatures. They are intelligent and ambitious. Even if there were no wizards, it would be easy for people with different personalities and abilities to have conflicts with each other in a society of ordinary people. What about wizards who look similar to them but possess supernatural powers?

We are all human beings. Who doesn't have a dream of turning stones into gold or flying into the sky? Why are you special?

Objectively speaking, no one can say for sure what caused the conflict between human society and the magical world in Europe at that time.

Perhaps the conflict started out as just a quarrel between children.

In short, around the 900th year of the Magical Calendar, the ordinary (Muggle) population in Europe had become very hostile to wizards, and this situation eventually led the four most talented wizards in the wizarding world at the time to decide to stay away from Muggles and open a wizard training school.

The four wizards are Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.

Together they founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is divided into four colleges named after the four founders: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

A school has no principal but four deans. So who should we listen to when decisions really need to be made?

As Yang Mei expected, such a problem did occur later.

Godric Gryffindor was a passionate and unrestrained man. Even though there was such a huge conflict between the wizarding world and the Muggle society and countless lives were lost in that catastrophe, he was still willing to accept Muggle cubs who had awakened their magical talents.

Gryffindor's bravery and fearlessness are golden and red, like a lion. He hopes that the children studying in his house can also uphold this ideal and move forward fearlessly without fear of difficulties.

But his actions seemed ridiculous to Salazar Slytherin.

Those Muggle wizards have lived in Muggle society since childhood, received Muggle education, and their parents and relatives are all Muggles. Why do you, Godric Gryffindor, think that they really want to come to Hogwarts to study instead of being undercover agents or spies?

What if the pure-blood wizards in the school get injured or even lose their lives because of these Muggle students?

Godric felt that Salazar was worrying too much. Even if the Muggle society's attitude towards the magical world was bad, the Muggle wizards were innocent and they also had the right to study at Hogwarts!

After all, it happened a thousand years ago, and it was impossible for Bathilda Bagshot to travel back a thousand years to see how the two founders of the school quarreled. The relevant records in "History of Magic" were just her guesses based on some fragmentary information she found.

Around the time when Hogwarts was founded a hundred years ago, of course this time is also a guess. The differences in teaching philosophy between Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were irreconcilable. Although Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw did not express it explicitly, it was not difficult to see that the two of them stood on the side of Gryffindor.

Salazar Slytherin was probably very disappointed. In order to establish Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with his friends, he contributed his own castle and personally went into the classroom to teach students...

Slytherin decided to leave the school. Legend has it that before Slytherin left, he built a chamber of secrets in the school castle, which contained terrible magical creatures, and claimed that only his heir could open the chamber of secrets. When the magical creatures in the chamber were released, it would purify the school and eliminate all those who were not worthy of learning magic.

"Magical creatures?" Yang Mei became a little interested, and he took the History of Magic to find Fleury. Celeste and Fleury were both students of Slytherin when they were in Hogwarts, so maybe they knew something about the Chamber of Secrets?

Fleury, who was handling official business in the study, was a little surprised: "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? I'm sorry, honey. Although your dad and I were also curious about the legendary Chamber of Secrets when we were studying in Slytherin, you know that Slytherin's curiosity only exists within a certain range. We are not those stupid lions in Gryffindor who only know how to take risks."

I understand, they are curious, but they don’t want to look for it. These two are not contradictory.

"Hasn't the school's principal, teachers, and students from other colleges ever thought about investigating it thoroughly? After all, the legend says that there are terrifying things in Slytherin's chamber of secrets." Yang Mei felt that if the legend was true, then the principal was really bold.

"Dumbledore is a cunning man. I think he should know where Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is. But he is not the heir, and he is not even a student of Slytherin House. I don't believe he has the ability to open the Chamber of Secrets." There was a hint of sarcasm on Florence's face.

Yang Mei understood that his mother didn't like Headmaster Dumbledore very much.

……

The departure of Salazar Slytherin was a heavy blow to the three Gryffindors. They hoped that their good friend could agree with their teaching philosophy, but they did not want to force him away!

Salazar Slytherin never came back until the three of them died one after another.

Some regrets can never be healed until death.

In the following hundreds of years, a number of magic schools emerged around the world.

In addition to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England, Europe also has the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France and the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Germany.

The three major schools of magic reached an agreement around 1290 and jointly established a friendly competition - the Triwizard Tournament, which is held every five years.

"The Triwizard Tournament? The wizarding world seems to be really good at it. This should be similar to the exchange competitions between schools in human society, right?" Yang Mei muttered to herself uncertainly, and then drank a glass of freshly squeezed pineapple juice in one breath. Hmm, it tastes really good~

Even though the prehistoric world has already experienced the great catastrophe of the creation of the world, the great catastrophe of Longhan, and the struggle between Taoism and demons, strictly speaking, it is still in its nascent stage.

Those immortals born and raised in the ancient times should still be practicing in their caves. How dare they wander around the ancient times without some strength?

As for... competition? There seems to be no such word in the prehistoric world yet.

Yang Mei leaned on the soft couch, squinted her eyes and moved her bare feet comfortably.

How does that saying go? Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. He is now enjoying traveling around the small world and is so happy that he doesn't want to leave!

The book "History of Magic" was really long, and Yang Mei started reading it at a glance.

Nicolas Flamel was born in 1327.

1637 The Code of Conduct for Werewolves was promulgated.

In 1689, the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was officially signed and took effect. From then on, wizards and Muggles were completely separated and moved into the dark, and gradually there were fewer and fewer wizards in the Muggle world.

"Tsk tsk! Is this the trend of the times? This way, things will be much more peaceful." Yang Mei felt a little hungry from reading, so he snapped his fingers to call Poke.

"Poke, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Yang Mei looked at the elf, who was almost as tall as him, with anticipation.

Poker said in his shrill voice: "Dear little master, the elf that the gentleman and the lady sent to learn oriental cuisine has returned. What the little master will enjoy tonight is..."

"Stop!" Yang Mei called a halt urgently. He was a little surprised, but more delighted. "Leave me some suspense, I'll know it by dinner time." The expectations are high!

The house-elf has always been very disciplined. When Yang Mei shouted to stop, he immediately covered his mouth and manually muted his microphone.

Yang Mei looked at the pitiful house-elf who was covering his mouth. Well, let's not let him come here in vain. "Poke, I want to drink pineapple juice." He planned to have a fight with pineapples these days.

"Okay, little master!" Poke took the cup and disappeared into the air with a "bang".

"What hardworking elves." Yang Mei sighed. He didn't think they were pitiful. It might not be appropriate to say that everyone has their own aspirations, but the meaning was pretty much the same. He could feel that these house elves were satisfied when they received orders from their masters and completed them strictly.

Perhaps in the wizarding world, there are indeed some families who beat or scold their house-elves and use them as punching bags, but these are just isolated cases.

The class difference and companion relationship between house-elves and wizards determine that they cannot survive without wizards.

Yang Mei had heard of a rumor that if the owner gave his house-elf any kind of thing, it meant that the owner was willing to set the house-elf free.

Black question mark face.jpg

Why do you think they are called "house" elves? Why do you think you don't see wild elves on the streets? Is it because they are shy?

……

Yang Mei casually flipped through the pages of the book again, and found that the history of wizards was no more than two or three thousand years. Any retreat he had in the prehistoric world would take at least ten thousand years.

After spending a little time in the library, it was time for dinner.

Yang Mei walked down the stairs slowly, not because he wanted to go so slowly on purpose, but because at the age of three, his legs were still very short. If he walked too fast, he would probably roll down the stairs.

When he finally sat down at his own exclusive seat, he looked at the table and saw that his family was making Dongpo pork! Are house elves so powerful that they can learn this? !

Yang Mei originally thought that it would be good enough if they could learn some simple cooking techniques.

Not only Dongpo pork, but also Longjing shrimp, oyster omelette... Look what this is? ! Buddha jumps over the wall!!

If Yang Mei wasn't worried that the house-elves would use their heads to knock down the wall of his house, he would have praised them severely!

Celeste and Floris obviously also got the uniqueness of oriental cuisine from this dinner, but Celeste said that his favorite is still herring jelly, and no food can shake the position of herring jelly in his mind.

Yang Mei: An old man in the subway is looking at his phone.jpg. I don’t believe that my noble and elegant mommy is willing to kiss you after you finish eating herring jelly.

……

For the next seven years, Yang Mei did not conduct any experiments. He lived almost like a child in the Muggle world.

The biggest difference between the Selwyn family and other families is probably that the head of the family is Florence Travers Selwyn.

As mentioned before, Yang Mei's father, Celeste Selwyn, is the Chief Justice of the Wizengamot. Since he is in the center, he must win over a group of confidants and have absolute say.

At the same time, family affairs cannot be abandoned.

It would be easier if Celeste had a brother or something, but unfortunately he doesn't.

Fortunately, Flores is very capable, so capable that it would feel like a waste of talent if she were just socializing with the hostesses of other families all day long.

So Flores became the official head of the Selwyn family. Of course, she and Celeste were husband and wife, so they would discuss together when making decisions.

What is particularly admirable about Florence is that she does not reject the Muggle world.

But I can’t say I like it that much, I just simply don’t feel anything.

Anyway, it's about making money, no matter whose money you make. There are only so many people in the magic world, how much money can you make just by setting up a business here?

It was precisely because of Floris's deep infiltration into the Muggle world that when Yang Mei proposed to add electricity to the Selwyn mansion, Celeste and Floris agreed after a brief thought, and within a few days, the matter was accomplished.

Although science and technology in the Muggle world were not very developed at that time, there were still many movies to watch.

A TV was installed in Yang Mei's bedroom, and he even asked Florence to get him a game console of this era.

Focus on an experience.

Once when Snape came to Selwyn's old house, he saw Yang Mei sitting on the sofa watching TV with a bowl of milk pudding.

He thought that the little brat would be very depressed because he couldn't make alchemy, but it turned out that he was living a carefree life!
