Hogwarts: My Name is the Unforgivable

Class! Class!"

When the sky just got light, the freshmen who had just arrived at Hogwarts got up excitedly, went to the Great Hall in groups of three or five to eat breakfast, and after wandering in the messy stairwell for a long time, they finally found the classroom for the first class, which was the Charms class. They waved their wands and excitedly flipped through the Standard Book of Spells: Elementary, discussing the various magics recorded in it and the theories that they could not understand at all.

The house that took the Charms class with Hufflepuff was Slytherin, and there was only one person in the whole classroom wearing a green lined robe, who was sitting quietly flipping through the textbook.

  "Baron?"

As soon as Avada walked into the classroom, he saw the only person sitting in the front row of the classroom, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You got up so early too?"

As a time traveler, he was more excited than the average freshman last night, and his sleep quality was worse, so he was still a little tired.

  "Good morning, Ken."

Baron smiled and said hello. "I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Would you like to sit over here? The front row seats are hard to get."

"I couldn't ask for more. Thank you."

Avada thanked him, pulled out a chair, put down his backpack, sat down next to Baron, and pretended to flip through the textbook - he had read it thoroughly during the summer vacation.

Gradually, Slytherin students and Hufflepuffs who had better sleep quality also walked into the classroom one after another, and sat down in groups according to their respective colleges, forming two distinct areas, one yellow and one green. In this way, Avada and Baron became the only border area.

Finally, a wizard as short as a goblin walked in wearing a robe that dragged on the ground, waved his hand to move a pile of books under the podium, and then jumped up in one step, allowing himself to just reveal half of his body from behind the podium.

"Let me introduce myself," he said in a shrill voice, "I'm Filius Flitwick, I teach Charms and I'm the Head of Ravenclaw House."

"Before class, let's take a roll call..." He pulled out a piece of parchment and studied the name on it, his brows twisted a little.

  "Mr. Ken!"

 "Here."

Avada's weak response attracted a lot of sidelong glances and whispers - Cedric only reminded the Hufflepuffs not to ask his name, but the Slytherins didn't know.

  "Mr. Baron Shafik!"

  "Here."

Baron was stunned for a moment before responding, not knowing why his name also had to be prefixed with "Mr.".

  "Mr. Sharby Nott!"

  "Here."

  Avada then realized that after Flitwick read out his name, he added the prefix "Mr." or "Miss" to all the students.

  "Very good, everyone is here."

After reading the last name, Flitwick put away the parchment with satisfaction, looked around and said, "When I walked into the classroom just now, I found that most of the students were looking through the textbooks in advance. This is a good habit. So, what do you think of the content in the textbooks?"

  Several hands were raised in unison.

"Mr. McNeill." He pointed to a Slytherin student.

A tall and thin boy stood up and answered proudly, "The spells above are very simple. I knew a lot of them when I was at home!"

  "Very good."

He stood up with a twitching face, and after a while he answered, "The preface is very profound, and there is not much I can understand. But I can roughly see that it is discussing the nature of magic, why we can use magic, and some of the latest achievements in magic research. As for the various terms mentioned in it, such as 'essentialism' and 'covering theory', I don't understand them at all."

"That's right, you don't understand it. If everyone can understand everything in the book on their own, what's the point of me as a professor?"

Flitwick happily asked Avada to sit down: "Two points for Hufflepuff."

"Ken is right. Ever since wizards discovered that they possessed extraordinary abilities and stood out from Muggles, the discussion about magic and magic has never stopped and has continued to this day."

His face became solemn: "Why can wizards cast spells while Muggles cannot, as they are all human beings? Why does the seemingly orderly natural world allow the existence of 'magic' that destroys the law? What exactly is the essence of 'magic'?"

"These questions still have no answers."

"However, with the development of the times, the research on the mysteries of magic has become more and more in-depth. We have eliminated many erroneous fallacies and are getting closer and closer to the truth. For example, there was a popular "ontology" in ancient times, which believed that magic was a supernatural energy that was naturally contained in the bodies of wizards. But with the discovery of new theories, this statement has been proven wrong. We have at least confirmed that magic is pervasive in nature, and wizards can only use certain characteristics of themselves to influence and control them."

"Then professor, how does the current mainstream view explain magic?"

a Slytherin asked impatiently, without even raising his hand.

"There are three mainstream views now."

Flitwick did not blame him, but continued with his question: "They are 'essentialism', 'covering theory', and 'intrinsic theory' which has only appeared in recent decades."

"Essentialism believes that magic is the essence of all matter and energy in the world. Anything can be transformed into magic and be unilaterally affected by magic."

"Covering theory believes that magic is a kind of matter or energy that transcends all entities. It covers the entire world from a higher dimension, thus affecting everything in the world."

"And the intrinsic theory was born out of inspiration from Muggle science at the beginning of this century, and it became widely sought after soon after its birth. It believes that there is no such thing as 'magic' in nature, but rather an inherent property of all matter and energy. Anything can spontaneously produce magical effects without the influence of external forces. The so-called magic is just a medium to trigger this effect."

Flitwick looked at the students in the classroom who were either shocked, confused, or thoughtful, and smiled as he stopped explaining, giving them time to think and digest.

  "Of course,"

remembered in the history of the entire magic world, and even the Order of Merlin, First Class, cannot cover one percent of your achievements!"

"I really hope that the great wizard who will be remembered in history can be born in this classroom."

Looking at the students' increasingly enthusiastic eyes, Flitwick knew that the atmosphere had been mobilized by him. He nodded with satisfaction, then took out his wand and knocked on the blackboard: "Then, let us move towards this goal and take the first step in exploring the mysteries of magic!"

"On the first day of school, let's learn the spell 'Floating Spell'!"
