Unknowingly, Felix finished reading the entire content.
"Professor?" Hermione looked over.
She interrupted the screen show to discuss some theoretical doubts.
"I read in the book, "The Wand and the Wizard" repeatedly mentioned a point of view, 'the wand is alive', how should I understand this sentence?"
"Well... I don't have a deep research on this aspect, so I can only talk about it in general."
"Of course." Hermione blinked and said in a relaxed tone.
"Each wand is unique. Even if they are made of exactly the same material and the same size, they can show completely different effects in different hands."
"Is it because of the owner of the wand?" Hermione guessed.
"Yes, I personally think that the wand on display in the store is only a half-finished piece, which desperately longs for its own wholeness."
Hermione looked up at Felix, a new perspective.
Felix explained: "The characteristics of the wood of the wand and the characteristics of the magical creature from which the core comes from make the wand extremely rich in variety, but there is another characteristic that cannot be ignored, and that is the wand owner himself."
"Instead of saying that the wand is alive, I prefer to believe that the combination of the three characteristics of the wand body, wand core, and owner makes the wand complete and exerts its true power."
"So, this is the theoretical support of 'the wand chooses a wizard'? In order to complete itself, when the body and core of the wand are both fixed, it is more willing to choose an ideal owner that suits itself?" Hermione followed said his train of thought.
"This is a family statement." Felix said modestly, and then added
"Moreover, for young wizards, obtaining a suitable wand is only the first step. The wand and its owner will partner with each other, learn from and promote each other in the days to come, and continue to cultivate this tacit understanding."
"We can understand that the experience of each wand is different."
"But, professor, I heard that some wands will betray their masters?" Hermione asked cautiously.
Felix's expression became serious, "This kind of situation is relatively rare. Even a wand with a bad reputation and perverseness will not be separated from its master just because of one or two failures. The confrontation on campus is even more serious. Can't reach this level..."
"But there must be such a situation, isn't it?" Hermione pressed.
"Indeed. I think the reasons are various: some have a poor relationship between the master and the wand; some are naturally sensitive and worship the strong; Crack."
"However, as far as the core material is concerned, the unicorn hair is indeed more loyal, while the dragon heartstrings are too active, and they may 'temporarily' succumb to a powerful enemy."
"For now?"
"For example, if this kind of wand is forcibly taken away by the enemy, if you recover it in time, it can still be used as usual."
"This, this..." The little witch said with some astonishment.
"Miss Granger, what we're discussing is too far from your world." Felix ended the topic.
In fact, Felix believes that the conditions for changing the wand's ownership are extremely harsh, at least including "a complete defeat in a confrontation full of malice", which is the conclusion he has drawn from some dark wizards.
That's how Felix got those spare wands in stock.
But even so, these magic wands can only be used as a temporary response at best, not their own magic wand, and there will be various restrictions on casting spells after all.
From the example of Ron and Neville, there may also be a "willing transfer" situation, but he has not personally experienced it.
"Granger, let's discuss your modification of the beaded pouch, which I thought you would finish next school year."
…
Felix's new book is also on the agenda. In order to expand his influence, he chose to complete two books at the same time. story plot.
One is a popular science subject for adult wizards, using the most rigorous logic and words to explain the most simple underlying technology in the Muggle world.
After completing part of the manuscript, Felix had the illusion of explaining addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to the mentally retarded, which made him want to give up for a while.
However, some readers he selected gave good feedback
Belby looked at the manuscript, the first picture is a boiling kettle with hot steam gushing from the spout; the second picture is a pipe coming out of the kettle, and the steam flows through the pipe to a windmill at the other end ; The third picture shows the windmill spinning rapidly under the drive of steam.
The next picture is a hand-painted version, which looks more abstract: a huge kettle is mounted on a train, and z is connected to the wheels through pipes to make the train start...
In order to make the whole process more straightforward, Felix deliberately marked the color of the steam very conspicuously. It looks like a train carrying a kettle monster with teeth and claws on its back, constantly spraying venom.
"This is the steam engine that Muggles talk about? They use this to drive the train?" Belby said excitedly, "You know a lot, Felix!"
Three days before the end of the school year, Felix received an invitation letter signed by the "International Federation of Wizards", which is an organization similar to the United Nations, except that its members are all ministries of magic.
"How did they find me?"
Felix opened the letter and raised his head after a while, "It turns out that an organization affiliated with the International Federation of Wizards invited me to Paris for a meeting, the Muggle Research Group? Tsk tsk, I haven't heard of it at all, it can't be new in recent years Established..."
From the more formulaic rhetoric in the invitation letter, Felix can tell that the research team is adopting the strategy of casting a wide net and catching more fish. Maybe some well-known experts on Muggle issues will be invited.
The next day, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Bubaji, and the feedback he got was as he expected, and she also received the invitation.
"You too?" Bubaji stared at him with wide eyes, "Oh, of course you have the qualifications. I mean, you are too young, I didn't think of it before."
"Professor Bubaji, do you know the origin of this so-called research group?"
"I do know a little bit," Bubaji said, "It seems to be an issue led by the US Department of Magic, to deal with crises and so on. It's all commonplace, you know, they have always been sensitive to Muggle issues."
Felix nodded thoughtfully.
Then the two agreed to meet in Paris, and they left separately.
He also wanted to see how the 'experts' in other countries viewed the Muggle issue.
In the next two days, Felix dealt with various chores: assigning holiday homework to the little wizard, seeing off Belby's safe departure with other professors, applying to Dumbledore to stay in school, attending the school dinner...
In front of the station, the little wizards happily boarded the train, while Felix watched silently from the corner.
The most conspicuous thing is the tall and tall figure of Marcus Flint, since he finished the exam, he has been avoiding himself;
Secondly, there is Keremy Vera wearing wide glasses~IndoMTL.com~ She found Felix immediately after the exam, hoping to maintain correspondence after graduation and accept his ancient magic guidance;
Several other graduates also expressed similar wishes, and Felix did not refuse.
In addition, the little wizards who left an impression on him this year appeared one by one:
Albert Balck, Percy, Penello, Geoffrey, Pat Selton, Warren Pardis, Twins, Cedric, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood...
He also saw a somewhat depressed Draco Malfoy, Felix was silent in his heart, he already knew that Lucius struggled several times, but he was kicked out of the school board, and his son was inevitably affected.
Felix watched the Hogwarts Express roar away.
When the shadow of the train disappeared from sight, he turned and left the platform.
