Chapter 702 Wizarding History

The lights at Hogwarts were on, and tonight was not much different from yesterday and the day before yesterday, but it was still a sleepless night for many people.

The library was very quiet, and Hermione was able to immerse herself in her current work.

There was a thick stack of books in front of her, with almost ten books open at the same time, but she didn't read any of them, but bit her lip and thought. Obviously, after the Secretariat Act came into effect at the end of the seventeenth century, no wizard dared to openly act. If she planned to find a place where the wizard and the Muggle intersected, it should have been before this.

Hermione tried hard to recall what she had read, occasionally pulling a book over, turning to a page and reading it carefully for a while. Gradually, she outlined a thousand-year picture of the magic world in her mind.

Although Professor Bashida Basharat, the author of the history of magic, only wrote until the end of the nineteenth century, Hermione still collected useful information.

During World War I at the beginning of the 20th century, Archer Evermond, then Minister of Magic, chose to be neutral and passed legislation to prohibit male and female wizards from participating in wars, so as not to have large-scale violations of the International Secretariat Act.

At that time, Harry's great-grandfather Henry Potter strongly condemned Evermond's decision. As a purebred and Wisengamor member, his approach caused a sensation and was widely discussed.

Some of the words passed down believe that the exclusion of the Porter family from the twenty-eight Holy families is likely to be related to this matter. The wizards at the war also made their own choices - they did not violate the law of secrecy and the Ministry of Magic and were directly involved in the war, but the law of the Ministry of Magic also failed to prevent thousands of wizards who were neighboring Muggles from being careful and helping the Muggles to the best of their ability.

Hermione recalls while flipping through books—

In the 19th century, the Ministry of Magic agreed to let the goblins be responsible for the operation of the Gringott; in the 1950s, a serious Floornet accident occurred, and in the 1960s, the "Reasonable Constraint Act on Underage Wizards" was passed, and since then, the students of Hogwarts were prohibited from casting spells outside the school; at about the same time, the Hogwarts administrators tried to catch and control the Pipi Ghost, but failed, which attracted the fierce resistance of Pipi Ghost;

Because of the special birth principle of Pipi Ghost, the principal at that time made a compromise.

Idris Okbe, the founder of the Squid Support Association, was also born around this time. Some people suspect that her experience of being mistakenly thought that Squid might have prompted her to empathize with the real Squid; in 1892, the Bigfoot Rebellion broke out in the United States, and the headquarters of the American Magic France Association moved to the current Woolworth Building; in the last year of this century, Albus Dumbledore graduated with glory, and later gave up her graduation trip because of her mother's accidental death and met Grindelwald for the first time in the Godric Valley...

In addition, this century also produced some boring Quidditch news, oh, by the way, Hermione remembered another thing that was closely related to herself: the witch Eloise Mintab used a time converter in an experiment and was trapped in 1402 for five days. Eloise died, and she was much luckier...

The bill prohibiting private dragon raising was passed in the eighteenth century, and the concept of an unforgivable curse was proposed for the first time;

At that time, the secret law was implemented for nearly half a century. The law was repaired and became more and more perfect, but it also made some wizards feel suppressed, which attracted some opposition. Gideon Fratworthy established an anti-Muggle extremist organization, but their way of expressing hatred was to refuse to engage in physical labor like Muggle (Hermione thought of the theory that Professor suggested daily magic was somewhat similar to that of the professor), and used it to expand a series of practical methods of summoning spells. But Fratworthy did not use the spell in the right place. He exposed his identity when he tried to steal the property of the Gringotts with the summoning spell. After failure, he had to flee in a panic and avoid arrest. The members were disappointed with him and threw him alone in the cave, and the organization was disbanded.

It is worth mentioning that Flatworthy's ending was not very good. He was trapped in a cave, injured and lacked food, so he dared to summon the only source of food in his sight - the barn at the foot of the mountain, and ended up being killed by cows and haystacks.

The news of Quidditch is never absent. Two groups of people fought for no reason. The only valuable thing is the repair curse that appeared before the world for the first time.

The Law of Rapaport is officially promulgated...

The seventeenth century began with the goblin rebellion. Eight years later, the witch Isot Sayer, the most important founder of the Ifamoni Magic School, went to the United States; Mungo Bonham also founded the St. Mungo Magic Injury Hospital at this time;

The fact that 'all magical creatures except wizards are forbidden to possess wands' is confirmed in the form of law, and together they are proposed are the code of conduct of werewolfs, but obviously, no werewolf will take the initiative to stand up and recognize their identity.

1692 was a very important year, and the "International Secretariat Law" was officially implemented. The wizards completely turned into concealment, and the "small community within the community" gradually formed in a hundred years later; the American Magic France Society was established.

No major happenings occurred in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries. Many wizards spontaneously stayed away from the crowd. They began to pursue novel entertainment activities. The first Quidditch World Cup came into being (Qidditch again), and then welcoming an unprecedented collection of fouls, with more than 700 foul methods being used. With a book specifically recorded, Hermione couldn't believe that she had read it boredly...

The fourteenth century was the source of the birth of the secret law. As the Black Death spread in Europe, everything related to witchcraft or related to witchcraft was rejected. Some wizards who were open and semi-publicly active were expelled. After that, wizard burning incidents finally occurred in some places. Many wizards were forced to hide their identities, move underground or live in isolation.

In the tenth century, Hogwarts was established, and various magic schools were established one after another.

...

As the night gradually became deeper, Hermione raised her head and a small sound came from behind her. She suddenly turned around and was startled to see the librarian Mrs. Pins standing behind her.

"Yes, sorry, Mrs. Pins, are you going to close the door?" Hermione jumped up in shock and said. The woman with a harsh attitude, a grumpy temper and a vulture-like appearance left a deep impression on her.

Mrs. Pings shook her head, holding a cup of hot cocoa with her hand holding a feather duster. She placed the cup on the table.

Hermione stared at Recoco a little stunned, and even didn't say a word of "thank you" because she was too surprised. When she realized that Mrs. Pins had left. Hermione sat down and continued to work. She tried to find a trace of the rules based on her non-wizarding history, but in the end she got nothing, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Hot Coco brought her vitality. She wandered between the huge bookshelf, looking for inspiration. Her eyes slid over the titles of books, and before she knew it, she came to an area that she rarely visited. The tall bookshelf was filled with various notes with decay smell, all left by students of Hogwarts.

Hermione picked a random book, which contained the experiences of a Hufflepuff student during his travels. Because some years, the words and sentences on the notes were difficult to read. She put down her travel notes and picked up another one, this time it was a novel.

She read with relish for a while, and was shocked to see the passage of time. She put down the book and sighed. Now is not the time to read these.

But then, her eyes gradually lit up, and she seemed to have discovered a suitable angle just now.
