Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 151 Professor Binns' History of Magic Lesson

"The history of magic is an extremely esoteric course, and Britain is one of the oldest birthplaces of magic..."

"This semester will be crucial to you, and it will be related to the study affected by some major events in the second and third grades..."

"We talked about it last class, Merlin's father and mother are..."

…………

…………

In the history of magic class, Professor Binns was still the same as usual, using his tone without the slightest ups and downs, talking about dry lesson plans in a monotonous manner.

With half-closed eyes, she faintly floats above the classroom platform, raising her head from time to time to look at the students below who are about to fall asleep.

From the beginning to the end, even if he glanced at those students who were really asleep, he didn't say anything, he just paused, and then continued to talk about the next content.

Sunlight shines through the stained glass of the classroom and reflects on his transparent body suspended in mid-air, making the inconspicuous figure even thinner.

If you just walked into the classroom, at first glance, you can't even find Professor Binns at the first time, only his emotionless voice and boring course content are still reminding the following Students, Professor Binns has not left yet, and this class is far from over...

However, in fact, unlike the stagnant teaching by Binns now, at least when Charlie was still in school, History of Magic taught by Binns was always the students' favorite course.

At that time, in his class, it was rare that no one would make small movements, talk, or fight.

A pair of eyes stared straight at the smiling and kind old man in front of him, listening to him combine his long-term experience with the lesson plans, and talk about the magnificence and ups and downs of another era.

Even in "Hogwarts: A School History", there was such a description:
When lunch was approaching, the students reluctantly left Professor Binns' classroom, and everyone seemed very excited.

The species conversion made them see the magic of magic for the first time, and the history of magic taught by Binns made the children full of infinite reverie about magic.

However, until now, the original vitality of Professor Binns may have disappeared along with his body...

.....................

At this moment, among the young wizards who seemed to have lost their souls, staggered to and fro, and even fell asleep, only two figures stood out from the crowd like a standout.

Hermione and Draco sat upright, and the quill in their hands quickly wrote down the professor's key points in the air on the paper, making a "rustling" sound, which added a little more to the originally calm rhythm of the classroom. twists and turns.

Between the two of them, Harry and Ron had already become another look.

Fortunately, Harry, although his eyelids kept drooping downwards, he managed to support his head with his hands. While struggling with the sleepiness in his heart, he picked up the pen and moved along with the trend like a ghostly talisman, writing on the paper. The notes in class are recorded in words that are not recognizable at all.

Ron has completely given up.He didn't even pick up the pen at all, just laying it horizontally on the table.

The whole body seemed to have no bones, and he directly crawled on the table, half-closed his eyes, and groaned unconsciously from time to time.

"...They are so persistent?"

He seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body at the moment, slowly raised his head, and looked at Hermione beside him in disbelief.

Seeing the knowledge-seeking light in Hermione's eyes, while taking notes, she raised her head from time to time, looked at Professor Binns floating in front of her, and interacted with his glance.In Ron's heart, which had been lying flat for a long time, invulnerable to fire and water, he felt a rare sense of shame.

"Don't you find it boring?"

He stretched out his hand, poked Hermione's arm tentatively, and asked in a low voice.

"No... I find it very interesting."

Hermione's eyes remained unchanged, she didn't even cast a glance at Ron who was aside, and she replied calmly, her tone seemed to be speaking a statement of course.

His eyelids trembled twice, and he was about to say something more, but was interrupted directly by Hermione.

"Hush, be quiet! Professor Binns is going to tell how Merlin met King Arthur!"

Ron's expression suddenly became indescribable, and then he clearly realized that he and Hermione, at least in this class, are not people from the same world at all!

Then he turned his head away, looked past Harry, who was still barely drawing ghost symbols, and began to change targets, staring at Draco.

"Will you show me your notes after class?"

Unlike Hermione, who was born as a Muggle, and listened to Professor Binns' lectures as stories with great interest, although Draco has been following the professor's progress, the tiredness in his eyes still exists.

Listening to Ron's words, Draco raised his head a little bit, and his neck turned like a rusty bearing, bit by bit in response.

After a pause, Draco said

"Violet candy... If you can get me some from your two twin brothers after class, I'll borrow it for you."

"make a deal!!"

Draco's words seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. After Ron answered bluntly with a deal, his eyelids could no longer hold on.

With a "plop", the whole person lay down on the table and fell into a sweet dreamland.

"that……"

The conversation between the two came to his ears, and Harry perked up a bit. He looked at Ron who closed his eyes and lay on his arms with a happy face, and then looked at Draco beside him with the same expression.He felt his own heart move...

After all, he really couldn't listen to Professor Binns' class at all. Instead of continuing to struggle meaninglessly here, he might as well just lie down like Ron, and then borrow Draco's notes after class Copying it can also relieve the fatigue caused by running to the restricted area every night without sleeping.

Thinking of this, Harry hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and opened his mouth to Draco.

However, just as he was thinking about what to say to the other party, Draco spoke first.

"Go to sleep, I'll borrow you to copy after class."

Harry froze for a moment, subconsciously asked

"Then...then what do I need in exchange? Do you still want violet sugar? Maybe I can..."

Draco waved his hand dismissively before he finished speaking.

"You helped me a lot by going to the restricted area every day, and this is my repayment to you."

"Really...Really?" Harry's eyes lit up, and he reconfirmed with disbelief.

"Ah."

Draco didn't say anything else, just nodded briefly, and then turned his attention back to the notebook.
