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

The library was so quiet that Hermione was able to immerse herself in her current work.

There was a thick stack of books in front of her, about ten books were open at the same time, but she didn't read any of them, but bit her lip and thought, apparently after the secrecy law came into effect at the end of the seventeenth century, there were no wizards. Dare to go public, if you plan to find where wizards and muggles meet, it should be before that.

Hermione struggled to recall what she had read, occasionally dragging over a book, flipping to a page and perusing it for a while. Gradually, a thousand-year-old picture of the magic world was drawn in her mind.

Although the author of the History of Magic, Professor Bathilda Bagshot only wrote to the end of the nineteenth century, Hermione had collected useful information.

During World War I at the beginning of the twentieth century, Archer Evermond, then Minister of Magic, opted for neutrality and passed legislation prohibiting witches and wizards from participating in warfare, lest there would be a massive breach of the International Statute of Secrecy.

Harry's great-grandfather at the time, Henry Potter, strongly condemned Evermond's decision, and as a pure-blood and Wizengamore member, his approach was a sensation and was widely discussed.

Some surviving passages suggest that the Potter family's exclusion from the Twenty-Eight Holy Family may well have something to do with it. Wartime wizards also made their own choices - they did not violate secrecy laws and the laws of the Ministry of Magic, and directly involved in the war, but the laws of the Ministry of Magic also failed to stop the thousands of wizards and wizards who lived next to Muggles. Be careful and help Muggles as much as you can.

Hermione recalled while flipping through the book—

In the 19th century, the Ministry of Magic agreed to put goblins in charge of running Gringotts; there was a serious Floo network accident in the 1950s, the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards was passed in the 1960s, and Hogwarts of students were prohibited from casting spells outside the school; around the same time, Hogwarts administrators tried to catch and control Peeves, but were unsuccessful, and instead attracted fierce resistance from Peeves;

Because of Peeves' special birth principle, the principal at the time made a compromise.

The founder of the Squib Support Society, Idris Oakby, was also born around this time, and it is suspected that her experience of being mistaken for a Squib in her youth may have prompted her to empathize with the real Squib; in 1892, the Bigfoot outbreak in the United States Chaos, the headquarters of the Magical Congress of the United States moved to the current Woolworth Building; in the last year of this century, Albus Dumbledore graduated with honors, and later gave up the graduation trip because of the unexpected death of his mother, in Godric Valley and Grindelwald meet for the first time...

In addition to this, this century also produced some boring Quidditch news, oh yes, Hermione remembered something closely related to herself: the witch Heloise Mintab in an experiment Using a time-turner to travel back five centuries, he was trapped in 1402 for five days. Heloise died because of this, and she was much luckier...

In the 18th century, the law prohibiting private dragon breeding was passed, and the concept of the Unforgivable Curse was first proposed;

At that time, the secrecy law had been in effect for nearly half a century, and the law had been tinkered with and became more and more perfect, but it also made some wizards feel repressed, which attracted some opposition. Gideon Flatworthy founded an anti-Muggle extremist group, but they expressed their hatred by refusing to engage in Muggle-like physical labor (Hermione thought it was a bit like the professor's theory suggesting the everyday use of magic), and This expands a series of practical methods of summoning spells. But Flatworthy didn't use the spell in the right place. He revealed his identity when he tried to use a summoning spell to steal Gringotts property. After failing, he had to flee in embarrassment to avoid capture; the members were disappointed with him, He was left alone in the cave, and the organization was disbanded.

It's worth mentioning that Flatworthy didn't end well. He was trapped in a cave, injured and lacking food, so he ventured to summon the only source of food in sight - the barn at the foot of the mountain. , was crushed to death by cattle and haystacks.

Quidditch news is never absent, two gangs fight inexplicably, and the only thing of value is the first appearance of the Restoration Charm in front of the world.

The Rappaport Laws are officially enacted…

The seventeenth century began with the Goblin Rebellion. Eight years later, Isolt Thayer, the most important founder of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, went to the United States; Mungo Bonham also founded St. Mungo's Magical Wounds at this time. sick hospital;

The fact that 'all magical creatures except wizards are prohibited from holding wands' was confirmed in the form of law, along with a code of conduct for werewolves, but obviously, no werewolves would take the initiative to admit their identities.

1692 was a very important year when the International Statute of Secrecy officially came into effect. Wizards turned completely into secrecy, and "small communities within communities" gradually formed over the next hundred years; the Magical Congress of the United States was established.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, nothing happened. Many wizards had spontaneously moved away from the crowd. They began to pursue novel entertainment activities. The first Quidditch World Cup came into being (quidditch again), and then ushered in an unprecedented event. A large collection of fouls, more than 700 kinds of fouls are used. There's a book dedicated to the record, and Hermione couldn't believe she'd idly flipped through it...

The fourteenth century was the source of the birth of secrecy laws. With the spread of the Black Death in Europe, everything related to or associated with witchcraft was excluded, and some wizards who were open and semi-open were expelled. After that, it intensified and finally in some places There were witch burns, and many were forced to hide their identities, go underground or live in isolation.

In the tenth century, Hogwarts was established, and various schools of magic have been established since then.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^

...

As the night wore on, Hermione raised her head, and there was a small voice behind her. She turned around suddenly and was startled to see Mrs. Pince, the librarian, standing behind her.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Pince, are you closing the door?" said Hermione, suddenly startled. She was impressed by this stern, short-tempered, vulture-like woman.

Mrs Pince shook her head, holding a cup of hot cocoa in her usual feather duster hand. She put the cup on the table.

Hermione stared at Re Coco in a daze, and didn't even say "thank you" because she was too surprised, when she realized that Mrs. Pince had already left. Hermione sat down and resumed her work. She tried to combine the history of non-wizards to find a pattern, but in the end she found nothing, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Hot Coco brought her vitality~www.novelhall.com~ She wandered among the huge bookshelves, looking for inspiration, her eyes slid over the title of a book, and unknowingly came to a place that is usually very quiet. In the less-traveled area, the tall bookshelves are piled with all kinds of rotten-smelling notes, all left by Hogwarts students.

Hermione picked out a book at random, which contained a Hufflepuff student's experience when he traveled, because for some years, the words and sentences in the notebook were quite difficult to read. She put down her travel notes and picked up another one, this time a novel.

She read it with relish for a while, realizing the passage of time, she put down the book and sighed, now is not the time to read this.

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

------off topic-----

Originally, I was going to write the story of a TV interview today, and I wanted to write some ideas of wizards from different perspectives, but the progress was very slow, so I made up a chapter temporarily, which is a review of the history of wizards as a whole. The author picks out a few interesting but unrelated content that may represent part of the wizard's ideas.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
