Return of Salazar Slytherin

30- The ‘Ever’ Popular Professor Binns

"Yeah, right, you wouldn't. Sorry, I was too presumptuous - eh?"

Daphne was ready to apologize for her recklessness, but she heard that Rhys agreed to teach her these spells.

The good news that fell from the sky stunned her. When she woke up from the joy, Rhys had already returned to the dormitory to rest.

After returning to the dormitory and lying on the bed, Rhys was not in a hurry to fall asleep. He made a plan for the next dungeon adventure. Everything was done in advance, and failure to do so was applicable to everyone.

The little wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin houses are happy because they have no classes on Monday morning and can sleep leisurely until they wake up naturally - the first years of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are miserable, they have two potions classes in a row on Monday morning.

On the first day of school, the first class is Potions taught by Professor Snape. The person who arranges the timetable knows how to put the bitterness first and then the sweetness.

However, not everyone wakes up naturally. Daphne was woken up by her roommate.

"What's wrong, I remember there were no classes in the morning." The sleepy Daphne yawned and looked at her roommate Tracey Davis with confused eyes.

"Can you accompany me to go see Potter?! I was so nervous during the sorting yesterday that I didn't even look at him."

Daphne was speechless.

"What's so good about Potter? You can see 'it' every day from now on - Hey, do you think I should wear this butterfly hairpin or this winter jasmine headband?" Pansy Parkinson was quite concerned about Tracy's behavior.

Ah! I slept so late last night and now I'm awake!

"I'm going to eat." Daphne couldn't sleep after being woken up. She got up from the bed and prepared to go to the auditorium to have breakfast.

"Wait for me!" Pansy shouted quickly. She didn't want to have breakfast alone.

After dressing up, the little girls walked out of the dormitory together.

As soon as she entered the auditorium, Daphne's eyes locked on a figure at the long table of Slytherin House: Rhys was sitting in the corner enjoying a hearty breakfast: stewed beans, bacon, sausages, fried eggs, delicious pudding, and paper cups Cake...

Rhys seemed to be trying to make up for all the calories he had burned on last night's night out.

"There's only one class today. It's great." Daphne came towards Rhys.

"I don't know what the History of Magic will be like. Have you heard that the one who teaches us the History of Magic is a ghost named Binns?" Daphne sat next to Rhys and talked about it, initiating a chat.

When he heard the professor's name, Rhys was stunned for a moment and his hand holding the knife and fork paused in the air.

"Binns? As if, Cuthbert Binns?" He couldn't help but confirm the professor's name to Daphne.

After receiving a positive nod, Rhys smacked his lips: He knew this professor.

Cuthbert Binns was the History of Magic professor that Rowena hired when Hogwarts was founded. When Salazar left, Binns still was the professor at the school teaching civics and history at the time.

What he never expected was that when he came back, he would still be around and a History of Magic professor! 

Rhys also guessed the reason why Binns could be a professor for more than a thousand years: he probably died on the job, and then turned into a ghost and wandered around Hogwarts, continuing to fulfill his obligations during his lifetime.

I wonder if Hogwarts pays a salary to Professor Binns in ghost form? A strange idea suddenly came to Rhys' mind.

However, the ghosts can't use the currency of the living. They have their own trading methods. If they are still paying wages, Hogwarts will have to work hard to find a way to get the coins of the ghosts.

"I wonder what the class of the legendary ghost professor will be like. It will be great, right?" Daphne's eyes shone with anticipation, and the faces of the surrounding senior students became strange after hearing her question.

No one stood up to break the little girl's fantasy.

They felt that people should be allowed to witness the teaching quality of Professor Binns. After taking one class, the little wizards will understand everything.

"I feel it should be very exciting, and I am looking forward to it." Rhys's mind recalled the grand scene when Professor Binns taught the youngsters about the hardships of the civil war between muggle lords, traitors, magical creatures, and wizards that year: when lunch was approaching, the students reluctantly left Professor Binns' classroom, and every day Everyone seemed very excited.

The courses taught by the four founders allowed them to experience the possibilities of magic for the first time, and Professor Binns'  classes filled the children with endless reveries about magic.

Professor Binns was one of the most popular professors at Hogwarts back then, and students loved taking his classes.

Hearing the freshmen's exited cheer, the senior students around him suddenly lowered their heads in unison.

History of Magic classes are held on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle, not far from the Great Hall.

When class time approached, the first-year students of Slytherin House walked out of the auditorium and dormitories and gathered in the History of Magic classroom 4F.

When Rhys came outside the History of Magic classroom, first-year Ravenclaw students were already waiting there.

Rhys saw Hermione. She was carrying a brown leather shoulder bag that seemed to contain several books.

"Rhys!" Seeing Rhys approaching, the little girl took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Good afternoon, how was the Potions class in the morning?" Rhys had already learned from the chat at breakfast that the new students in Ravenclaw had already attended Professor Snape's Potions class.

He was curious about the quality of the course.

After all, this was a Potions class, which was Slytherin's specialty. Slytherin House itself was also rich in Potions masters.

If the Head of Slytherin House is not good at making potions, then he must not be a pure Slytherin.

Hermione's expression was a little complicated. She glanced at the Slytherin students around her, and finally chose to be tactful: "The things taught there are very interesting, but the professor is a little stricter on the students."

More than harsh!

If Hufflepuff freshmen were asked to evaluate Snape, they would definitely receive "a flood of negative reviews." If Hogwarts had a professor rating network, Snape would surely top the list of negative reviews all year round.

In the morning class, Snape almost deducted Hufflepuff House's score into negative points.

Neville Longbottom was almost frightened to tears by him.

Even Hermione from Ravenclaw was shocked because she was sitting so close. She failed to stop Longbottom's stupid operation and was deducted five points.

Rhys sensed something strange in Hermione's words.

He raised his eyebrows and no longer struggled with this topic. Instead, he entered the History of Magic classroom and found a seat to sit down.

Hermione wanted to sit next to him, but a little silver-haired girl suddenly appeared and sat in the empty seat next to Rhys as if there was no one around. Then she raised her head and greeted her with a bright smile.

"Ah, Hermione, good afternoon!"

Rhys is still looking forward to Binns' class. He has already read "History of Magic", but the words in the book can only show the tip of the iceberg. If there is a teacher who can explain it, then he must pay attention as there will be more gains to his limited knowledge after going to seclusion.

What's even better is that this professor has "lived" from the Middle Ages to the present.

He can be called a walking history book.

Rhys believes that he will definitely benefit a lot from this afternoon's class.

Half an hour later, Rhys shuddered suddenly and came out of the edge of the dream, looking confused.
