Chapter 23 History of Magic

"So it's Penelope's. Didn't we just talk face to face last night? Do you like writing letters so much?" Ryan opened the letter and couldn't help complaining.

Yes, in the original book, Percy and Penelope also wrote to each other every day. For normal people, some things are hard to say in letters, and they have to talk in person, but for Penelope, it's probably hard to talk in person, so she writes in letters.

"Let me see, what do you want to complain about again? History of Magic?" Ryan couldn't help but get excited and wrote back quickly.

From Penelope's perspective, History of Magic is all the fault of the ghost professor Cuthbert Binns. His teaching style is the same, and he always reads from the book.

He "talks with panting and dragging", which makes it difficult for people to concentrate, and people will soon fall into a drowsy sleep once they take his class.

But in Ryan's opinion, the bigger problem is the compilation of the book History of Magic. Ryan has wanted to complain a long time ago, but there is no one to talk to. In the Smith family, for some reason, there is no magic painting except the bathroom. Jack didn't understand this, and Penelope just ran into the trap.

The history of magic always records some important points that shouldn't be there, such as the goblin rebellion, which is all dry dates and names.

What was the situation during the rebellion, how did it happen, how to stop it from going to peace, and what strategies were used?

If the history of magic can be written like the history books of the Muggle world, even if he "talks with wheezing and dragging his voice", Hermione will not be able to withstand his hypnotic magic voice.

Especially in the biography of characters, some people should be recorded, such as the following famous people who were already integrated with social development at that time.

Ignatius Wildsmith, the wizard inventor, invented the Floo powder.

Magenta Comstock, the predecessor of the magic painting, who had a grudge with a certain Smith clan leader, was an experimental artist, and her portraits would move with the viewer.

Mungo Bohan, the founder of St. Mungo's Hospital for the Sick and the Injured.

Cleona, a clever Irish female druid, was the first person to discover the characteristics of the moon dew flower.

The inventions or achievements of these people are part of history, and it is right to focus on the introduction and extension.

Instead of the famous weird wizard Ulric, who can be said to be a weirdo among wizards, and is famous for wearing a hat made of jellyfish.

Sadly, characters like Ulric are recorded more in the history of magic, and are more detailed, abrupt, boring, and difficult to remember.

For some reason, Ryan has a kind of heartfelt rejection of the history of magic, not the history of magic written by Bathilda Bagshot. After all, this book was only published by the Little Red Book Company in 1947, and this kind of disgust that can be said to be engraved in Ryan's blood has been passed down from a more ancient era.

To be fair, the book written by Bathilda Bagshot has deleted some characters like the weird Ulric. But Ryan still can't like it.

The Smith family hates people, doesn't like to be in the limelight, hates to be left with portraits, likes alchemy, and has a natural Akarin temperament. These characteristics have always been associated with magic, and the surname has been passed down from generation to generation.

Wizarding families that have been passed down for a long time have certain characteristics and are difficult to die out.

Like Ollivanders, they like wands and have amazing memories.

The Potters have messy hair, strong perception, thin bodies, and even invented shampoo specifically because of their hair, which led to Snape not using shampoo and greasy hair.

The Malfoys have white skin and golden hair from generation to generation, and are good at communication.

Black is the strangest. Although they claim to be always pure and loyal to their beliefs, their beliefs are like a kaleidoscope, paranoid, and mostly inconsistent. This has led to the Black family tree being the pure-blood family that is trimmed most frequently. Guys who do not conform to the mainstream views of the family or who are shameful to them are expelled from the family tree.

Dumbledore is deeply loved by the phoenix, has a long life, and is good at transformation.

Weasleys are optimistic, have red hair, and are unimaginably fertile.

Gaunt, who was born from Voldemort, was stubborn and cruel like a snake. Although their inbreeding made every generation speak Parseltongue and have super high magical talent, it also led to the stubbornness, conservatism, dislike of flexibility, intoxication with the antiquity of the family, and trapped in their own world. The next few generations did not even go to Hogwarts. Finally, coupled with extravagance and lack of management, the last Marvolo Gaunt, his only daughter Merope, did not choose to be with his biological brother Morfin Gaunt, but chose to use aphrodisiacs to seduce Tom Riddle, a rich young man from the same village, to elope together. In the end, Gaunt could be said to be extinct. After all, Voldemort was not worthy of being called Gaunt in Marvolo's eyes, just as Morfin was not worthy of being his uncle in Voldemort's eyes.

In short, magic passes on the most significant characteristics of ancestors to future generations, which is more significant than genes. For example, fathers and sons do not necessarily have the same hair color and personality, but the magic world does.

With complicated thoughts, Ryan finished writing the letter. After letting Jack send him off, Ryan started a new magic experiment.

When reproducing the Sword of the Immortal, Ryan used his reconnaissance skills to miraculously reproduce the counter-curse.

The regret for the separation from Harry's mother, Lily, was the best remedy for the poison on the Sword of the Immortal, the inventor Snape.

Ryan wanted to know if he could bring Snape's image into his mind and visualize Lily's appearance at the same time, and if he could just say Lily's name, the counter-curse would be effective.

Ryan specially prepared a lot of materials, including Lily's graduation photo in elementary school, photos of her attending Hogwarts, and photos of her wedding. Snape's current photo was hard to find when he was a child. Ryan spent a lot of effort in the Muggle and wizard worlds just for these photos.

When he is old enough to go to Hogwarts, he can consider giving these photos to Snape as a Christmas gift.

Finally, the most important thing is Lily's full name, Lily Evans, Lily Potter, which should not work. Ryan was very sorry that he did not take the time to notice Lily Evans' full name in his previous life, and did not even glance at it, otherwise he could just look it up in his memory.

Ryan sketched James Potter in his mind. Without reciting a spell or even thinking about it, the invisible sword suddenly sprang out from the mouth of the White Knight's staff. Ryan picked up the White Knight like a hilt.

The LV5 Shenfeng Wuying can already be displayed according to Ryan's thoughts. It will not fly out of the mouth of the staff like the original appearance and chop the designated object. Ryan aimed at the dummy in front of him and swung it violently, splitting it in two.

The cut left a strong trace of black magic. This is much more powerful than my normal spell. Next, let's see if the "toxicity" can be solved. Let's see which method is more effective and useful.

"But I'm afraid Snape himself didn't think of this method." Ryan smiled.
