A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 17: Open class (1)

Soon, Professor Snape strode in. The windows and curtains were closed as the wand was waved. The whole classroom was enveloped in a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere, and the little wizards fell silent instantly.

Hermione immediately closed her book and concentrated on her lesson.

After the first herbal medicine class in the afternoon, the three of them were exhausted, so they hurried to the cafeteria for an open class. At this time, the canteen (auditorium) had completely changed. The four long tables had been moved to the corners, and in the middle was a circular platform with a diameter of about twenty feet and a height of about three feet.

"What's that?" Ron asked.

"Maybe it's where the professor is standing? There are a lot of people here today." Harry looked around, good guy, most of the students in the whole school have come, including many little wizards in the first and second grades.

So popular, wouldn't it be another Lockhart? Harry muttered silently.

Harry was just thinking about it, but Ron had already spoken, muttering, "It's not another Lockhart, is it?"

"No, I've had contact with Professor Haip, and his silent spells are excellent! And Professor Lockhart, he..." Hermione became hesitant.

"What curse?" Harry didn't catch it.

"Silent spells, some particularly powerful wizards can release all kinds of spells without chanting spells, which is very convenient for casting evil spells on people." Ron explained.

Both of them ignored the little witch's evaluation of Lockhart.

Is there any need to discuss this issue?

Hermione gave Ron a blank look.

And Harry thought a little more, so this professor sounds pretty good? He had two more expectations for the next open class in his heart.

In fact, neither he nor Ron wanted to come. Does this have anything to do with them? They were dragged here by Hermione. According to her, "the third grade has to choose courses, isn't it necessary to learn about an elective course in advance?"

And Hermione also wants to see how Felix's teaching is, but she has already read "Exploration of Ancient Runes" written by Felix, which gives her a lot of confidence in this new professor.

Well, like confidence in Professor Lockhart.

After another ten minutes, some students came one after another during this period, and several professors also came to join in the fun. It seemed that this was not a class, but a large party.

Harry caught a glimpse of Lockhart, and quickly lowered his head to avoid the sight of the professor who was in "controversy".

Nothing good happens when you meet him!

These past few days, he has been in pain. There are three sources of pain, one is Quidditch training, the other is Lockhart, and the third is that freshman named Creevey.

Except for the existence of Quidditch training that makes him painful and happy, the other two, he can hide when he can!

Just in time, Felix's figure appeared. He was wearing a light blue robe - the same color as his eyes, with slightly upturned hair, a smile on his face, and he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

It really looks like Lockhart!

Many lower grade students whispered in their hearts that they were really intimidated by this outfit.

Felix passed through the crowd, leaped lightly, and jumped onto the high platform. Holding his wand in his hand, he looked around, and the crowd gradually fell silent.

In Harry's eyes, the professor drew a mysterious symbol with his wand, and the next moment, his voice reached his ears, the volume was not loud, but it was very clear, as if the professor was speaking right next to his ear .

"Let's officially start the class."

Felix looked at the young wizards in the audience, "I, Felix Hep, am currently serving as the professor of the ancient runes course." He waved his wand and outlined his name.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the first question.

"Does anyone know what ancient runes are?"

Swipe!

Hermione raised her hand subconsciously, but before she could react, her body had already moved by itself.

"Miss Granger." Felix nodded at her.

Hermione opened her mouth and said: "Ancient runes, also known as ancient runes, are a kind of writing used by wizards hundreds of years ago. Ancient wizards used it to record magic. Therefore, modern wizards mainly study how to translate These magic manuscripts. However, ancient runes are also one of the sources of power for ancient wizards."

The last sentence was added after she read "Exploration of Ancient Runes".

"Very good, 5 points for Gryffindor."

Felix began to introduce the history and evolution of the ancient rune, and he quickly advanced. These things are not important, at least he thinks they are not important.

The little wizards couldn't remember either.

"You just need to remember one thing, the ancient rune is a bridge, it connects ancient magic and modern magic, and at the same time, it also connects ancient alchemy and modern alchemy."

Seeing the young wizards talking a lot in the audience, Felix nodded in satisfaction.

"But professor, why do we only learn how to translate ancient runes?" A senior Ravenclaw girl raised her hand to ask.

Felix looked at her: "There are two main reasons."

"The first reason, mainly based on translation, is indeed the current mainstream view in the magic world."

"In my opinion, the ancient rune can be divided into two, that is, the ancient rune and the rune. The former is a kind of writing used by ancient wizards, and the latter is a kind of power mastered by ancient wizards—but in the long run In the changing times of the times, they blended with each other, making it difficult for later generations to distinguish.”

"The former represents the mainstream view. They take it as their duty to inherit and study ancient magic manuscripts. In fact, this is really useful. You know, most of our knowledge about ancient wizards ~IndoMTL.com~ is from these people obtained."

"This route is relatively simple to get started, even you can do it now."

"However, if you want to directly grasp the power of ancient wizards through ancient runes, it is very, very difficult. Not only do you need to have excellent magic skills, you must also have excellent research capabilities."

The little wizards half understood what they heard, but they probably got the meaning. It is the study of ancient magic texts. In fact, there are two branches, mainly translation. The advantage is that it is easy to get started, and there is no requirement for the personal qualities of wizards, even squibs are fine. But it takes a lot of time to sort things out.

There are many old wizards in the magic world who have been studying for decades and completely confused themselves in the end.

The other branch is mainly based on mastering the power of ancient wizards, and it is difficult to get started. If you are not an elite + academic master, you should give up this idea as soon as possible.

Felix paused for a moment to let everyone have time to digest, and then said with a smile, "Back to the question just now, as for the second reason - because there is no exam."

The young wizards were suddenly speechless, and the reason was very strong.

"However, I personally think..." Felix said: "Letting you a little bit involved in the practical application of ancient runes will effectively stimulate your enthusiasm for this course."

"Are you going to teach us ancient magic?" cried one of the twins.

Felix shook his head, "No, ancient magic is famous for being powerful and difficult to tame. I don't plan to teach you this knowledge. What's more, in this regard, my research has just started."

"Okay! This is the end of the theoretical part. As an open class, I won't talk about too much professional knowledge——"

"Next, it's presentation time."
