Chapter 635: Gryffindor Family Ruins
This semester is coming to an end, and in the last few days, Hogwarts has become more and more lively.
Especially the invitation of the dance partner has entered a stage of fierce competition.
There are only so many students, more and more people have dance partners, and for the remaining students, there are fewer and fewer choices.
Of course they are anxious.
Under such circumstances, the little wizards who used to have high vision and high standards all lowered their requirements.
In the first few days, the dance partners were not only Rove, Shirley, and Furong, but no matter how bad they were, they had to be at the level of Cedric and Qiu Zhang. After that, it was enough to be a little better-looking, and then... a person That's fine.
In addition to the fierce competition for dance partners, Hogwarts also circulated an endless stream of gossip:
What Dumbledore bought 8,000 barrels of flavored mead from the Three Broomsticks, and planned to build a wine pool and meat forest in the auditorium;
What famous wizarding band, the Weird Sisters, came to Hogwarts to perform;
There are also rumors that the champion of the last Triwizard Tournament will come to the dance... If this person is still alive, he is at least two hundred years old, can he still dance?
Of course, the most outrageous rumors are that the professors will perform their talents at the Yule Ball:
Dumbledore is the lead singer; Professor McGonagall is the soprano; Snape is tapping the cauldron to accompany; Hagrid and Professor Flitwick are the backup dancers... This picture can only be said to be quite explosive!
The news is not true or not, but the professors are really excited, and they don't even have classes.
Professor Flitwick allowed the students to play games in class, and he spent most of his time discussing with Rove the strange magic he performed in the game.
Professor McGonagall also began to tell everyone the essentials of dancing, and she also performed a section of England's national dance - jig dance on the spot.
Although Professor McGonagall is so stern and old now, he was also a bright and attractive sports girl when he was young.
Professor Moody talked about the black wizard ball murder he had encountered before, and reminded everyone to be vigilant when dancing.
It is best to keep a safe distance of more than two meters with your dance partner.
Snape didn't attend class either, and he immediately selected students to take the poison to test the efficacy of the antidote they brewed.
Several students were sent to the school hospital, and they might miss the Christmas ball this time.
Only Professor Binns, who is worthy of being a model worker for hundreds of years, is still calm and patient in class at this time.
"The goblin's rebellion was an extremely far-reaching event in the history of wizards. It started in the seventeenth century and ended in the eighteenth century, and lasted intermittently for almost two hundred years.
To this day, there are still goblins who try to subvert the rule of the Ministry of Magic..."
Rove, who was sitting below and listening to the class, couldn't help but yawned.
He really admired Professor Binns, the goblin rebellion is obviously such a thrilling history, after he explained it, it immediately became boring and boring, making people want to sleep.
In fact, not long after the class started, a group of students had already fallen asleep on the table, and most of the rest were also drowsy.
But Professor Binns didn't care, and continued in his hypnotic, decaying voice, saying:
"The goblin rebellion began with the arrest in 1612 of Yardley Pratt, a notorious dark wizard and serial goblin killer.
But after the Wizarding Council, the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic at that time, caught him, he was only sentenced to three years in prison.
So, the goblins launched a rebellion in a beer hall in Hogsmeade. The history of magic called it—the beer hall riot!
They also burned the wizarding parliament building, which is the famous parliamentary arson case. "
Rolf knew that the Hogsmeade's beer pub, now the Hog's Head, had fallen into the hands of Aberforth, and it was a waste.
"The Yardley Pratt incident was just the trigger for this war. The real reason for the goblin rebellion is that they feel that they have no power."
Professor Binns continued:
"The goblins thought there was no goblin representation in the Wizengamot and were trying to get the right to hold wands."
"In addition, the issue of the ownership of the Gryffindor sword is also an important reason for the goblin rebellion..."
Hearing the keyword of Gryffindor's sword, the drowsy Gryffindor students woke up one after another.
Dean Thomas raised his hand and asked, "Professor Binns, what is Gryffindor's sword?"
Professor Binns stammered and stopped. He looked at Thomas in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly:
"Gryffindor once commissioned Raignac I, king of the goblin kingdom of Nadia, to forge a sword.
After the sword was forged, Professor Hufflepuff sent two students to the kingdom of Nadia to ask for the sword.
But Raignac I fell in love with the sword and wanted to keep it for himself, so the two students were besieged by goblins and took the sword away..."
The little wizards whispered excitedly, and the two students were able to forcibly take away the sword from the fairy kingdom... that's amazing!
"I know about it." Auber Gamp said proudly, "One of the students is my great-great-great-grandfather, and our family has records."
His words immediately received awe-inspiring gazes from a group of students.
Rolf and Hermione looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"And then, Professor?" Lavender Brown urged.
"Later, Gryffindor went to meet the two students and beat back the goblin pursuers.
Raignac I made no further attempts to take the sword, but legends of Gryffindor's stealing began to spread among the goblin society. "
The Gryffindor students were filled with righteous indignation and scolded the goblins for their shamelessness.
"Professor Binns, where is the sword now?" asked Seamus Finnigan.
"The sword has been in the Gryffindor common room since Gryffindor disappeared, but it disappeared when the goblin rebellion broke out," Professor Binns said.
"Some say it's at the headmaster's place, some say it was stolen by goblins and hid in Gringotts, and some say it's in Godric's Hollow."
"The Gryffindor family lived in Godric's Hollow for generations, and there are their family ruins there."
Hearing this, Rove's heart moved. Hermione noticed the change in the boy's expression, and said softly:
"Rove, I remember hearing you say that you are going to Godric's Hollow during the Christmas holiday?"
"Yes." Rove nodded.
He was supposed to check out Lily's grave, but it dawned on him that he could stop by and look for the Gryffindor family ruins.
Hermione blinked and whispered, "Can you take me with you?"
"Of course." Rove wondered, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay in Ravenclaw's chamber to read?"
Hermione stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "I suddenly want to go again."
Rove looked at Hermione strangely, and found that she suddenly took the initiative more than before.
At this moment, Professor Binns floated over. He stared at Rove and said coldly:
"Skadi, talk in class... Ten points for Slytherin."
"..."
