A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 118: Valentine’s Day

Felix stared at the green snake skin in front of him, thinking about the production method.

'First of all, we need to deal with impurities. For this step, we can refer to the operation of the binding vine. However, the characteristics of the basilisk and the branches of the Whomping Willow are completely different...'

……

February 14th is Valentine's Day.

When the little wizards got up early and went to the auditorium for dinner, they found that the four walls were covered with big and dazzling pink flowers, and many heart-shaped confetti kept changing from the light blue ones. Float down from the ceiling.

Even the usual hallways are adorned with wreaths of holly and mistletoe.

Many young wizards and witches giggled silly as they ate.

It's a day when professors turn a blind eye and don't mind their own business - but don't expect them to smile at you either.

"I think Percy must be sour when he sees this." Ron pointed to a few couples holding hands in the distance and said - he and Percy have reconciled, but they always have the habit of mocking him Two sentences.

But it was none of their business, Harry, Ron, and Hermione hurried off to class after breakfast.

It was evening.

They dragged their tired bodies to the auditorium, and the long table was already filled with many young wizards.

As expected, they saw dwarves dressed as Cupids, but they were standing on a temporary high platform, playing the harp with a gloomy face—not ugly, at least not The urge to flee.

The two shortest-looking dwarfs seemed to have not yet mastered this skill. They stood two or three meters away from the entrance of the auditorium, and took out handfuls of colorful scraps from their back pockets. When two or more little wizards pass by them together, they will all be smashed.

Harry and the others saw Dean and Neville walking in front, bathed in the rain of colorful debris. Neville stood there awkwardly, and Dean let out an incomprehensible grunt, and quickly ran away.

There was a burst of laughter on the long table.

Scratching his head, Neville also smiled, his round face was stained with a layer of rosy.

Harry, Ron and Hermione hurried around the wall to avoid the pair of dwarves.

Soon, groups who didn't know the truth were recruited one by one. If it was a young couple, they would smile generously. The wizards laughed for a long time.

At the teacher's table.

Looking at this lively scene, Belby said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that Valentine's Day is also celebrated in Hogwarts now? You know, I was hiding at that time."

Felix said: "Probably to welcome you."

"Stop joking, Felix." The middle-aged wizard said, he turned his head and looked around: "Why didn't you see Professor Snape?"

"He won't like this scene and may be late."

"Yes, he looks quite serious." Belby said: "The last time we met was too short, we didn't talk in detail, some of his thoughts are very insightful..."

"Is it about wolfbane potion?"

"That's right, he seems to have an idea of ​​improving Wolfsbane Potion, I hope we can cooperate, and I am willing to provide the initial research data."

"Haven't you thought of inviting others before?" Felix asked curiously.

"I thought about it, but... not much interest," Belby said regretfully, "Professor Slughorn made some suggestions, but he refused to participate."

"Slughorn?" It wasn't the first time Felix had heard the name.

"Yes, he used to be my Potions Professor, but now he's retired and his whereabouts are uncertain, so it's hard to contact him."

Ten minutes later, all the professors arrived one after another.

Professor Flitwick took the vacant seat next to Felix, and Professor McGonagall sat down next to Flitwick.

Snape took a seat at a distance.

When Harry was very bored listening to the dwarf playing the same song for the seventh time, the dinner party finally started.

Dumbledore knocked on the glass to silence the little wizard, and he introduced their new professor to everyone with a smile on his face.

"It is my honor to introduce to you, Damocles Belby, who has graciously agreed to fill the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts for the second half of this year."

The young wizards applauded sparingly, the previous professors had exhausted their enthusiasm.

Belby stood up and bowed to everyone, "It's a great honor to return to Hogwarts after so many years. Although I will only stay here for the first half year, I will do my best to fulfill my duty." Responsibilities..."

Belby's words were very sincere. His appearance and clothes were not as dazzling as Lockhart's, and he wanted to attract everyone's attention. This directly won the limited favor of the little wizards.

The most intuitive evidence is that when he sat down, the applause of the little wizards was orderly and louder.

Sitting on the side, Snape stared coldly at the goblet in front of him with a straight face.

The other professors were all welcoming. Although it doesn't make sense that Belby, who won the Medal of Merlin for inventing the wolfsbane potion, came to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, but at least he has real talents.

Better than Lockhart who's been strutting and having pajama parties.

All kinds of delicacies appeared on the long table, and the little wizards who were tired all day began to feast.

Professor Flitwick, who was sitting next to Felix, was talking to him in a low voice.

"Felix, I heard that you are using a new type of teaching aid in your class?"

"That's right, Felius, I call it answer parchment."

Professor McGonagall calmly slowed down his food chewing at a distance~IndoMTL.com~Don't mind me saying this-I saw it from a student, and I found it useful for the spell Theory is also very useful. "

"Are you trying to use the answering parchment in the Charms class?"

Flitwick hemmed and said, "There are not a few months left until the wizarding level exam, but the theoretical results of some young wizards are still worrying."

He looked at Felix: "If you need my help..."

Felix smiled softly: "Felius, I have no opinion on this. However, I did encounter some difficulties-if more disciplines are to be added, they must be carried out on the basis of the original Improvement, this is not something I can solve alone, I would like to invite you to study with me."

"I'd love to." Flitwick said briskly.

Professor McGonagall found the right time to answer and said, "I can help too."

Felix said: "Minerva, I have envisioned adding all subjects from Hogwarts, but this requires a prestigious professor to facilitate this."

Professor McGonagall thought for a while, "I will try to understand other people's thoughts, which is a good thing. But how do you integrate so many disciplines on a piece of parchment?"

"Using synchronization magic," he explained: "The parchment in the hands of the little wizard is just a simple magic product for receiving information. The runes and alchemy methods arranged on it are relatively simple. I also have a scroll made of dragon skin, It stores the wizard level exam questions in recent years."

"However, this also caused little wizards to only use answering parchment at Hogwarts."

"Well, one-to-many..." Flitwick pondered, "I seem to have heard someone say this kind of thinking."
