    Summary

    Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.

    And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

    Summary

    Lord Voldemort, on seeing the woman - girl, really - standing in front of the boy’s crib, trembling and wandless, feels a particular stroke of benevolence.

    And so falls the body of Lily Evans, like a ragdoll, like a marionette who’s strings have been cut. Except, there is life in her green eyes.

    Summary

    Transcribed from back cover of book:

     

    Professor Cuthbert Binns (living: 1865-1963, haunting: 1963- ) is the leading Magical Historian of his day. He has published widely on topics ranging from, 'The origins of magic in native rock art,' to 'Wizard-Muggle relations through the ages', and was awarded an Order of Merlin (second class) in 1936, when his seminal work, 'A History of the magical world in 100,000 pages' became the best-selling Historical text on record.

     

    This volume, however, is - for the first time - autobiographical in nature. It is thus also somewhat experimental in nature, but serves to remind both the author and the reader that we each build the fabric of History, in our own ways, however small.

     

    Author: C. Binns.
    Dictation: Gluey the House elf.
    Production: A.P.W.B. Dumbledore, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
    Published, 1964; Revised, 1991.
