Unlike the Transfiguration exam, which was completed first, Ivan was the last to hand in the subsequent History of Magic exam.

He wrote for two and a half hours, and at the end, all the young wizards in the classroom were staring at him dumbfounded, even the ghost Professor Binns was very surprised.

They don't know why Ivan can write so much, which is beyond imagination.

The normal exam content can be completed in an hour at most, but the last essay question about burning witches in the 14th century aroused Aiwen's interest.

He had discussed this with Harry the previous summer.

The recent study of many magics handed down from the Middle Ages gave him a deeper understanding of this aspect.

Generally speaking, the wizarding world generally believes that burning witches is a pointless act.

In the Middle Ages, Muggles were particularly afraid of magic and witchcraft.

But they are not very good at recognizing magic, they only occasionally catch wizards or witches, and at this time, burning has no effect.

A wizard or witch, when burned, casts a basic spell that freezes the flames, and screams in feigned pain while enjoying the mild tickle of the flames. The soothsayer Wendelin liked being burned very much, and had allowed himself to be captured in various guises as many as forty-seven times.

The above content is the original words in "A History of Magic" written by the historian of magic Bathilda Bagshot, and it also represents the views of the vast majority of people.

As long as this content is written on the test paper, Ai Wen can get full marks.

But through recent research, he believes that Bagshot's discussion is very one-sided.

The witch hunt led by the Holy See is not as simple as the magic world imagines. Ivan thinks it is a conspiracy.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the whole of Europe entered the darkest Middle Ages.

The decline of human nature, the collapse of morality, the slow development of productivity, and the fear of the unknown and witchcraft among Muggles have reached the extreme in history.

The former holy and ancient empire was divided into many countries, and the magic forces were also divided, and a lot of heresy magic about ancient warlocks and wizards spread in Europe.

The perennial melee between Muggles has also allowed magic, especially black magic, to develop rapidly. Among them, the Necromancer magic, which is led by the traditional Holy See wizards to explore immortality, and the demon magic, which is mainly pursued by the newly rising black wizards, develop the fastest.

According to the clues that have survived so far, it can be seen that the common point of these two types of magic is that they need a large number of human souls or corpses as the basis for casting spells.

Especially the souls and corpses of underage women, they are the best materials for casting spells.

As I said before, the witch hunts that broke out in this situation didn't actually kill many real wizards, but Muggle women suffered widespread persecution.

This movement lasted for hundreds of years, and finally turned into an act of terror, and many Muggle girls called witches were sent to the Inquisition.

They were sentenced to death, but their souls and bodies were secretly collected by dark wizards.

Ironically, although the out-of-control witch hunts cannot harm the real adult wizards, they have caused the underage wizards who have just awakened their power to suffer a catastrophe. Many Muggle-born children were brutally killed by their relatives as soon as they showed their magical talents. Muggles called it the power of the devil.

This makes the number of wizards who are already scarce become smaller and smaller, until they finally die out.

More and more ancient schools of wizards became extinct because they could not find suitable successors, and the powerful spells from the ancient times were reduced to the dust of history one by one.

The magic world is becoming more and more depressed, and the status of the pure-blood wizard family is getting higher and higher. Three hundred years after the outbreak of the witch hunt, with the rise of colonialism and the introduction of mystical witchcraft to the New World and the East, the horror gradually ceased.

The "International Statute of Secrecy" signed into effect in 1689 is considered to be an important milestone in the development of the magic world. Necromancy and demon black magic are re-listed as taboos and cannot be studied. All magic books are destroyed. Wizards Go completely into hiding.

They no longer participated in the Muggle wars, but developed independently to this day.

Because of the limited time for the exam, Ai Wen could only roughly write down his research results, and could not expand them one by one.

Even so, his answer shocked everyone.

No matter how you look at it, this is a research on the history of magic that can shake the entire magic world.

If it weren't for the fact that the topic of black magic itself was too taboo, Aiwen could even provide the evolution of hundreds of black magic spells as his own basis.

Even so, Professor Binns was stunned for a long time after seeing Ivan's test paper.

Because of being too excited, his translucent ghost body turned reddish visibly.

The other little wizards all looked sideways, wanting to see what Ivan wrote on the test paper, which could make Professor Binns lose his composure.

Because of its great research value, Aiwen finally scored 120 points in the History of Magic exam, and the extra points were rewarded by Professor Binns. This move, which set a record in the history of Hogwarts, became the hottest topic in the castle.

Of course, this is all for later, Ivan is walking to the auditorium with Colin at this time.

Unlike when they were separated before, the third graders were all elated and looked very excited.

Hermione's previous prediction was so accurate that Professor Flitwick made the happy spell a third-year exam question.

Ivan didn't see Harry and Ron, and Hermione told him that it was because Harry had done a little too much in eliminating nervousness, and Ron had been laughing hysterically. For the exam results, Professor Flitwick had to take them to his office and make him quiet until Ron could say the happiness spell himself.

Halfway through lunch, Harry and Ron barely made it to the Great Hall.

They looked very haggard, not at all as if they had just cast a happiness spell.

"It's not good!" Ron shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because laughing made me consume too much energy, maybe it's because I was too nervous to cast the spell alone. Anyway, my happy magic didn't work, Harry just pretended to be very happy." Professor Flitwick can clearly see the happy look."

"Don't take it to heart, this magic is difficult." Harry said weakly, "I did feel happy at the time, but it wasn't that strong."

Harry's argument was not very convincing, and he didn't look happy at all right now.

"I told you before that when you cast a spell, you swung your wand in the wrong direction!" Hermione looked at Ron and said, "Obviously, you didn't listen to me."

"But when I used this spell before, it all took effect, I thought..."

"You should be thankful that Professor Flitwick won't give you a zero." Hermione took out the Potions textbook and said sharply, "But in the Potions exam tomorrow, if you still like this, I can be sure that Snape will never miss this opportunity." (To be continued.)
