A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 249: A demonstration of ancient magic

Felix and Hermione were sitting opposite each other, and he tapped the armrest of the dark sofa with his index finger, and the little witch across a small low table found that he had quietly appeared in the thinking cabin.

'The professor's spellcasting is becoming more and more invisible. Hermione thought to herself, it has been more than a year since she entered here for the first time, from the initial color and shape distortion to subversion, now she can be pulled in without making a sound, the professor has a good understanding of this magic. The control is self-evident.

Hermione was very familiar with this place, she looked at the furnishings in the room with ease, and then her brows frowned.

The half of the space belonging to the professor has not changed much: brown, black, and dark green are the main colors, occasionally dotted with beige and soft gray, giving people a sense of rich colors and a calm and heavy feeling.

The deep chestnut-brown carpet is soft and comfortable, and there are thousands of tomes stacked on it. These books complement the black wall bookshelves, the square table with a matte luster, and the heavy dark green hangings.

Of course, there are more and more ancient rune symbols of different colors, they are like the rhythmic elves in the whole room, bringing vitality and magical visual enjoyment.

Hermione can even imagine what it would be like for the professor to come to the hut by himself-sinking herself on the sofa, calling for a book at random, a naughty rune symbol jumping in front of his eyes, and being flicked away by his fingers ...

But now she always feels that something is not right today. Is the carpet under her feet dimmed, or the green curtains that are rolled up at a corner from time to time become quiet?

Perhaps, everything is her illusion?

"Miss Granger?" Felix gave his assistant a strange look, and she looked around nervously as soon as she entered.

Hermione was also quite puzzled and said, "Professor, your thinking cabin feels very strange to me, like—more massive? Or solemn—" She stood at the junction of their thinking, suspicious Looking at the half of the space that belongs to him.

There is an obvious modern decoration style, the sun is shining softly, the light brown carpet, the goose yellow curtains, and the two pots of green plants on the small round platform in the center are unchanged from a year ago.

'Compared in this way, the weirdness is even more obvious. ’ Hermione thought, and she finally thought of a word to describe her feeling: "Dark style?"

Felix laughed dumbly, "Why do you think so?"

Hermione shook her head, "I just thought of it suddenly. It doesn't seem to have changed, but some details are different."

Felix understood a little bit, and he said thoughtfully: "You reminded me, this is the external reflection of our inner world. It just so happens that I have a new understanding of magic recently. Alright."

"Let's start today's lesson, Miss Granger."

Hermione temporarily let go of her doubts and sat back in her seat. She and Felix began to discuss the progressive relationship of runes.

"Professor, starting from a single rune, to the rune circuit, and the rune ball I saw, as well as the complex circuits overlapping and nesting on the chestnut plate today, does this mean that the more complex the rune The more advanced the text structure, the more advanced it is?"

"From the perspective of function realization, this is indeed the case. A single rune has a single attribute, and we humans always want to achieve more and more complex functions, so we have to desperately study how to combine more runes grouped together."

"Let me give you an example." Felix held a rune symbol in his hand, "Flame, this rune itself contains quite a lot of possibilities, and it will definitely have a completely different effect when I use it and you use it." , because we understand it differently.”

The magic symbol in his hand is constantly changing rapidly between runes and flames.

Hermione also quickly constructed a flame rune, her conversion speed was obviously slower than that, and after going through two or three changes, the structure of the rune symbol was no longer stable, and finally turned into a blue smoke.

"This kind of understanding of magic itself is actually very difficult to make tricks. Once you understand it, you will understand it. There is no shortcut. But if you simply want to increase the power of the flame, there are actually many ways-"

Felix grabbed some runes from the air, "For example, I want to magnify the flames—" More than a dozen runes were connected to the original runes that meant flames, and the small flame that was originally the size of a palm slapped The seed swells to the size of a pumpkin;

"I also want to make it burn more violently..." He grabbed some rune and added it, as if stuffing some condiments, the pumpkin-sized fireball began to burn violently, accompanied by " Crackling";

"So far, this magic has become difficult to control, and I must emphasize that the thinking cabin is not real. What I can do here does not mean that I can perfectly reproduce it in the outside world... ...Back to the topic, I also want to increase the temperature—"

The new runes were combined and thrown into the flames. The orange-red flame became brighter, quickly transitioning to bright yellow and bright white, and then there was even a hint of blue.

Felix said in a relaxed tone: "If it is in reality, if we don't take any protection, we will burn ourselves, so the saying that ancient magic is dangerous is not false, according to the ancient books I have read , Too many people were ruined by the first successful casting."

"Continue to say-actually at this moment we have obtained a powerful enough magic, but obviously we still want more: make it controllable, accumulate magic power, or shape..."

"If you have a deep enough understanding of magic and are proficient in mobilizing magic power, some steps can be omitted. Theoretically, all magic in the world is the product of mobilizing and transforming magic power. But most people, including You, including me, are far from reaching the level of doing whatever you want."

Hermione nervously looked at the blue fireball in the professor's hand, which had reached a diameter of one meter, and the surrounding air began to distort. Even though she knew that everything here was constructed by thinking, she still couldn't help being afraid.

Felix waved his hand and let the blue fireball disappear, "Okay, the game is over. What you just saw is just a demonstration of thinking. I can't do it so easily in reality. I hope it won't let You misunderstood."

"I want to reiterate that ancient magic is very dangerous."

Hermione obviously accepted the rhetoric. Next, she practiced the ancient runes step by step. In addition to learning new content, she also needed to deepen her understanding of the runes. A major criterion for understanding is "can Convert rune symbols into corresponding magic meanings."

She counted on her fingers, and there were only a few who really reached the level of "understanding", such as "Bison Power", "Brightness", and "Flame".

There is a long way to go~

Felix encouraged her and said: "At the next meeting of the Rune Club, I will take apart an ancient magic and integrate it into teaching. If your progress is fast enough, I will teach you this ancient magic. The combination of runes. The same is true for others.”

Hermione's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the professor's attitude towards ancient magic had always been very cautious. During the past year or so, there were only a handful of discussions between the two of them about ancient magic.

Does this mean that the professor has enough recognition for her learning situation and magic manipulation level?

She began to think: In the first year, she has been learning to translate rune and practical rune, and in the next semester, she came into contact with the rune circuit~IndoMTL.com~ and even successfully repaired the damaged beaded packet before the end of the semester;

During the summer vacation, she has been using the rune carving knife to practice drawing rune and rune circuits;

At the beginning of the new semester, she has already been exposed to the knowledge of rune transformation, and she is more focused on understanding the rune itself. She can't help but imagine: by the end of the third grade, is it possible for her to directly master an ancient magic?

Seeing Hermione's enthusiasm, Felix added: "It's the simplest ancient magic, don't imagine it has any lethal power." But this did not dissuade her enthusiasm in the slightest.

At the end of the practice, Hermione became extremely tired. She stood up and moved around, her gaze swept across the room. The weird feeling was still obvious, and the more she looked at it, the more awkward it became.

'Although the professor said it was because of the changes brought about by the new perception, it still looks gloomy. ’

She decided to change her mind, and stood in a corner of the room and kept looking at it. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she picked up a pot of green plants and put them on the professor's square table full of books. She narrowed her eyes and laughed.

"This looks much more pleasing to the eye."
