A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 187: Twins and Snape’s gossip

Felix left the twins alone after the fifth grade Ancient Runes class in the afternoon.

"Professor, are there really seven looking glasses?" Fred asked curiously.

In the class just now, Felix's arrangement was the same as that of the seventh grade. He also explained the study plan for the entire school year, and briefly reviewed the learning content of the third and fourth grades. At the end of the class, he mentioned that in addition to magic In addition to puppets, a new rune artifact, the looking glass, was introduced this school year.

Felix nodded and said: "It does exist, you will see it in the next class."

He's procrastinating because there's a looking glass short of it, and it's being adjusted.

"Ancient Alchemy Exploration" mentioned seven methods of making looking glasses, but they all followed the alchemy route. What Felix did during this period was to replace some rune circuits, Make its function unchanged, and even strengthen it to some extent.

He tried tirelessly, and if he could, he was going to spend most of this year on it—changing pieces of alchemy creations into rune creations.

With Nick Flamel, a master alchemist, he has full confidence in this.

…

George asked: "Why are there seven looking glasses?"

Fred said without hesitation: "Maybe the shape of the looking glass has been disguised? For example, it is usually a doorknob, and it will scream loudly when touched."

George followed his train of thought and said: "It's kind of like our fake wand, or it can be reversed, usually it's in the shape of a looking glass, but if you try to do something with it, it shoots fireworks from the tail, The whole room is running around..."

Frey laughed and said: "Great idea, George, what a charming little brain."

George bowed: "You too, Mr. Weasley."

"Ahem!" Felix coughed twice, stopping their playfulness, "Seeing that you are so happy, I can't bear to tell you the next news."

The twins turned to look at him at the same time.

"Oh, no, Felix, we're in the same company," said Fred without any fuss.

Felix was amused, he said this not long ago, "Disrespect the professor?"

Fred held up his hands in a begging gesture.

But neither of the two parties cared about it. Felix discovered very early on that the characters of these two people are very suitable to be friends. of.

It's not appropriate to be an assistant. Felix wanted to find someone to help him share the work at first, but it was hard for him to imagine that the twins would seriously correct homework. He even suspected they might cast a jinx on some bad papers.

For example, the homework with a grade of zero is cast with a pimple curse, so that the little wizard who is not studying hard feels the malice from the magic text assistant...

It's interesting to think about it, but it's really just a matter of thinking.

Felix's expression became serious: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. This year is your OWLs year, how many exams are you confident to pass?"

"Ancient runes are fine, if they change the test content to magic puppets." Fred gasped.

Felix said with a straight face: "This is not a joke. I don't refuse you to do research in your spare time and give guidance, but your grades can't be lowered too much."

The twins sighed, and Fred spoke the truth rarely: "It is estimated that I can pass four or five OWLs, or even less. What about you, George?"

"We are about the same level, but I think you may be too optimistic. I think three certificates are a more reasonable number." George said with a straight face.

Fred suddenly smiled.

Felix shook his head, not allowing them to change the topic at will, he said directly: "In order to prevent you from getting too obsessed, I specially entrusted your brother, Percy Weasley, to let him take time to look at you ——"

"What!"

"No, Professor!"

The corner of Felix's mouth hooked up, "Is there anything wrong? I told him that he will not interfere with your research, at least not in the short term. As far as I know, his grades are very good. I can give you some advice."

Fred hunched his neck, looked sideways, and put on a haughty gesture—he imitated Percy's tone and said: "Fred! When I see you feeding others, I will close your confinement, and I will do what I say!"

Felix: "...Frankly speaking, your fudge isn't poisonous, is it?"

"Of course not, Professor, we have done the test, and I was the first test subject." Fred said.

"I'm second," said George.

The twins had a ten-minute soak with Felix. Seeing that they were about to be late, they left in a hurry. Before leaving, I still didn’t forget to yell——

"Professor, we will never give up!"

"Yes, unless you retract the decision!"

Felix looked at their backs with some headaches. At a certain moment, a thought came to his mind: 'Did Professor Snape think of me that way back then? ’

'But I'm not that escaped. ’ He went back to the office and took some time to finish improving the final seventh looking glass.

Looking at the sight glasses of different sizes on the workbench, his mood improved inexplicably.

"The number of ancient runes I have now exceeds one thousand. When will this number become ten thousand or twenty thousand?"

"At that time, how far will my understanding of magic reach?"

Felix imagined that during the battle, the sky filled with magic texts lingered around him. Under his thoughts, they automatically converged into powerful ancient magic. It is a continuous attack.

There is no escape, no avoidance, only hard resistance.

"Thinking too much, there are not many people who can make me go all out. I am still thinking about the content of the next communication with Nick Lemay. His understanding of alchemy is completely beyond my imagination~IndoMTL.com ~With his perspective, I can examine alchemy creations and rune creations from a higher level.”

"This will help me better understand the characteristics of runes."

In the evening, when Felix walked out of the office to eat in the auditorium, he accidentally heard two gossips.

One is that there was an accident in Hagrid's first class, and a student was injured. Felix breathed a sigh of relief after careful questioning. The situation was not serious. The student's wound had a bit of strange magic power. With Madam Pomfrey's skills, he could be alive and kicking after only three days of training.

He didn't take it to heart. The previous professor of this course caused much more serious trouble than this.

The second thing that left him scratching his head was that in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the new professor taught third-year students how to resist boggarts—magical creatures that can shapeshift according to their fears.

Boggarts are not strong in nature, but they are surprisingly effective against wizards with fatal weaknesses or weak hearts. Especially when facing it unsuspectingly.

In class, the object of fear in a student's heart turned out to be Snape. Encouraged by Professor Lupine, the student overcame his fear and chanted the Boggart expulsion spell "Funny Funny", and it turned out that it really happened It got funny - Professor Snape, a symbol of his inner fear, changed into a woman's dress.

Hannah Abbott said with a blushing face: "Longbottom yelled a spell, like a whip hitting Professor Snape, his clothes instantly became a grandmother embroidered with flowers clothes, a cocked hat on his head, and a huge red handbag dangling in his hand..."

"Seriously, it's the first time I find that boy so cool!"

Felix listened in amazement, and from what he knew, Snape must be mad.
