《HP The Birth Of Darkness》Chapter 25
Advertisement
Today a new day begins
I have a magic history class in the morning and a potions class in the afternoon
while I finished getting ready to go out to my magic history class I also carried my book "Omens of death: what to do when you know the worst is coming"
This is a book that I came to by pure chance, it seems to be a very interesting book, on its cover, there is a Grim, it is a spectrally shaped black dog which is said to be the worst omen that can exist and would represent death
it is commented that few claim to have seen one and have lived to tell about it
In my self-study process, I have not only focused on books that refer to spells, but I have also attached great importance to knowledge about everything related to divination and clairvoyance
Omens of death is a somewhat peculiar book, perhaps for those who consider divination as a hoax or a scam they will believe that these books are simply written by crazy people and situations that are forged by chance, but do not represent the existence of the art of clairvoyance or reading signs
I must admit that even I would have a hard time believing it, especially with my experience in science and technology, it has always been believed that such things are simply superstitions and people's ravings, but in a world of magic and with my visions
I no longer believe it ...
There is important information in the book, contrary to what we might imagine, although the cover and title refer to the omens of death and shows an image of a Grim, their information does not focus only on this, something that the book reports repeatedly. It is the difficulty of being able to distinguish and understand these omens, only seers with a lot of experience can identify them and couple them in a meaning that reveals something.
There are many types of omens according to the book, although in this case, of course, most are focused on death.
for example, it speaks of the omen of the inner voices or divine voices, according to the book,
It can happen that sometimes we feel that someone is talking to us and tells us something, usually, they are indications, such as "come here or leave that place, or you feel that someone is calling you" but there is really no one who is talking to you Or worse still, you are alone in that place, depending on what you hear it can be a favorable omen or that represents a disgrace if you do not listen to it

there are also the symptoms that your body presents and that happen suddenly, these can have important meanings, a chill throughout your body in situations that are not common, such as when you are on a sunny beach or in a lounge while you are warm, this omen may represent an imminent danger to you or someone close
sudden heart aches, can mean the betrayal of a love or close friend
The numbness or immobility of the little finger or the shaking tremor of the thumb of the left hand can mean that there are problems that are coming in your life
Although the book speaks of various omens, they also indicate that these indicators do not always truly represent a situation in which there is an omen, a prophecy, or some indication that something is happening or is about to happen, therefore it is repetitive when pointing out that only someone with a lot of experience can determine the nature of it, only in very special cases a novice can do it
clarifies that this will only happen when the omen is very strong, which also means that there is a high probability of a death or a situation that probably cannot be avoided.
While I was walking through the corridors of the castle I arrived at Classroom 4F, which is on the first floor, today we have shared classes with the students of the Ravenclaw house when I entered the room I could observe my acquaintance Filius in the first row, after approaching to greet him I sat down at the desk next to him.
Normally in most classes, I sit in the back of the room, so that I can read my books without much trouble, also so as not to bother the teacher so much.
Imagine the reaction of your teacher if the student who is sitting at the front of the course is reading a book on another subject, I do not think it is very pleasant, but it is difficult to find a seat in this class that is not in the front because everyone They arrive early to occupy the back seats to be able to sleep, as Professor Cuthbert Binns' classes are usually quite boring
Although this is not really always the case, Professor Binns is a ghost who has a lot of knowledge, although history is always important to know and understand, some do not have much content that is relevant or that can serve us for something, for example, the war of the communities of centaurs in the 750s or the rebellion of the vampires to their proclaimed king 1500 years ago.

This makes many students bored in their classes, although today's topic seems somewhat interesting, about the rebellion of the goblins in the magical world, it is also a relatively recent topic, it is not more than 300 years old, the reasons why They happen also have interesting informational value and demonstrate the reality of the British wizarding world.
According to the account of Master Binns, 3 important rebellions of the goblins are known historically, which according to the teacher are recognized by historians as very violent and bloody, according to some official figures there are hundreds of deaths made up of both wizards and goblins, These are figures that reveal how bloody those rebellions were, this if we take into account that there were probably no more than 2000 active wizards in Britain and possibly a smaller number of goblins
After listening to the story told by Master Binns, I can basically affirm that the blame for all this situation that happened and that is currently being experienced is the lust for power.
the community of human wizards wants to be the only ones to hold power in the wizarding world.
It is an interesting policy that the Ministry of Magic raises, as it slowly begins to exclude the different magical races from the sphere of power.
Little by little over the years the different races are losing authority in the magical world, the easiest example can be found in the wizengamot, of 50 members that have a total of only 3 represent the werewolves and only 3 represent the rest of the magical races
Speaking of the wizengamot, while researching I found a book that provides information about it and I was able to understand a little better how it works and how its features are distributed
in general, the wizengamot actually has 49 members and the head of the court who is the minister of magic, then the 49 members are divided into various factions
Government faction: members of the current government and openly supports it. Made up of 21 members of the chamber.
Opposition faction: members with more conservative ideas and policies who are against the government. They make up 10 members of the chamber.
Independent politicians: members not affiliated with any of the ideological currents. They are the smallest group of the Wizengamot, and they are usually part of it because of their merits in other matters. They make up 3 members of the chamber.
Councilors: Wizengamot members who act as wise men and consultants, not necessarily politically affiliated. They are usually members of old families or large businessmen. They make up 9 members of the chamber.
Others: representatives of other groups and some minorities. They make up the 7 remaining members of the chamber. There are 3 werewolf representatives, 3 spokesmen for the interests of other magical races, and 1 squib.
In very general terms it could be summarized in this way, although of course, it does not mean that there are no other types of associations within them or even that they are grouped together.
power can unite even your worst enemies
When I found this information I was able to imagine some possibilities in my judgment, the government faction must be members of the thoroughbred families, Griselda must belong to the opposition faction and she may have formed an inter-faction group to help me in the verdict of my innocence.
Returning to the topic of the class, I decided to be attentive because there is information that may be important in this story that professor binns is telling,
Who knows, maybe in the future we will have a relationship with the goblins.
speaking of goblins, I could tell that Filius was a bit uncomfortable
It's not hard to think about him either because
It must be uncomfortable to hear your teacher talk about how your ancestors fought to the death against the ancestors of the rest of the class
although I really believe that no one in this class cares, the main reason for this is because I am sure that almost no student listening to the teacher's story

A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World
Alice is a girl who loves science and lives on Earth. Then, suddenly, she was punted into another dimension. A dimension where magic and monsters roam the land, swords and sorcery reign supreme, and, for some reason, a System keeps dinging at her and telling her that her stats and levels are increasing. As someone who loves exploring mysteries, Alice is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. After all, everything has to have a ‘cause,’ including the System, right? What to expect: This story is going to be a LitRPG set in a fantasy world. However, unlike many LitRPG’s, the system has both a definite beginning and definite limits to what it is able to accomplish – rather than a singularly omnipotent, omniscient being that is tied to the laws of the world, the way systems are usually presented in LitRPG’s, the system is close to both, but has definite limits and rules which it operates by. This story is also relatively slow, since that is my writing style. The main character also begins the story as a young, 15-year old girl who has yet to finish high school, and is going to explore more of the world around her as she grows as a person and starts to get her feet under her.

A Demon Lord's Reincarnation
Selina’s got a pretty active imagination. When doing math, she pretends that she is a great detective solving a heinous crime! Ordinary tasks, like a trip upstairs, turn into a perilous adventure to raid a dragon’s cave! She believes that life should be full of wonder and magic, and tries to force the world to cope with her conviction! But when Selina wakes up to remember her past life as the Demon Lord, she has to face the fact that real life is messy, and not anything like what she imagined. With ancient powers stirring, family problems, and the hectic life of a teenager, Selina will have to discover more about herself if she is going to survive the trials ahead. With the help of her best friend and a fair share of luck, she might just get through this alive. Maybe. (Updates (hopefully) on Sundays) This story started out as a flipped isekai. Instead of a hero being pulled into a medieval world, a Demon Lord is pulled into the modern world. It has since moved a bit beyond that initial premise but it is the foundation of the work. Along the way, I threw in dragons, elves, dwarves, and some vampires (but no werewolves, gotta nip that in the bud) all wrapped up in the political drama of a modern world. The story, however, will mainly focus on the characters and their development and as such, is a bit of a slow burn. It may take a couple of chapters to get into. You have been warned! (PS, please show patience for the author's notes. They're a bit crazy and don't always make the most sense. The author's a bit of a ditz. Please ignore him.)
