A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 369: Select
Felix turned his head away from looking at the Slytherin witch who was staring at him, cleared his throat, and continued: "I have analyzed with you professors, and there are two main shortcomings of yours. I don't have enough spells to deal with various complicated situations. Such as magic flame"
He paused and did not continue.
"The second shortcoming is the lack of practice, or actual combat. It's not the kind of duel game in duel class where each other draws out their wands and prepares in advance. I refer to sudden crises, which have nothing to do with your own Experience related."
"There was a time when Hogwarts had a tradition of traveling for a year after graduation. It's probably similar to a few close friends traveling together to see the magic customs in different parts of the world..."
"However, because of the Wizarding Wars, and in recent years, the Ministry of Magic of various countries has tightened policies. If you want to go to a country, you must report in advance and obtain the permission of the local Ministry of Magic. As a result, this kind of behavior is not very popular."
Felix recounted this period of history, giving them a general impression.
"In the next month or so, as classroom No. 7 becomes more and more perfect, you will be exposed to simulated dangerous scenes one by one to increase your experience. Not only me, but other professors will also appear here, giving You guide."
"Of course," Felix said after thinking for a while, "Professor Moody may have other arrangements. He prefers to test how you deal with danger in real scenarios. You should have a better understanding of his character..."
More than one student has a bitter face. Professor Moody is famous for his rough personality and his boldness in class. Hogwarts students have suffered a lot. Which student has not been pointed at, How many times have you chanted the curse?
However, according to a student who did not want to be named, although Professor Moody felt terrible when he chanted a curse to himself, he would get a strange feeling in his heart when watching him chant a curse to others roughly. The pleasure of...
"Candidate for Warrior," Felix raised his voice, bringing the students back to their senses. "Or the students who are selected to participate in exchanges and demonstrate the results of Hogwarts teaching, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with many advanced spells, and the most convenient way is that the restricted section of the library will be open to you."
"All you need to do is register, and you can see all kinds of advanced magic books."
The students discussed in a low voice, and their eyebrows were beaming. Felix even heard someone mention "black magic", so he raised his eyebrows.
"I should remind you that black magic was banned in previous tournaments, even this one," he said uncertainly: "The Ministry of Magic is still in intense negotiations..."
"That means we might face the dark arts?" Harry asked in surprise.
"No, that's not the case." Felix explained: "Warriors are not allowed to use black magic on warriors. This is the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic. But Durmstrang proposed that when breaking through, you can 'reasonably' Use black magic on non-human beings such as powerful and deadly magical animals.”
"Wagadou and Ilvermorny also agreed. The dispute now is which black magic can be used, and the Ministry of Magic is sorting out a list."
"So we can use black magic too?" Collins pressed, "As long as it's on that what list?"
"Maybe the rules allow it, but for Hogwarts students, there will be no professors to give you pointers on this." Felix said calmly. "I know that some of you may not be unfamiliar with black magic, but after all, you have to consider that if you use it openly, it will attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic and the outside world will question Hogwarts' educational philosophy."
He shrugged: "It's been a few years since the war, and the majority of British wizards still hate black magic."
Collins looked at him provocatively, "So, as long as you don't get seen, you're fine?"
Felix stared at her and smiled slightly: "You're right, Ms. Foley, whether you use black magic or not doesn't affect the judges' marks. But let me tell you, it's not necessary, and it's even a bit outweighed by the gain." .”
He looked at everyone: "Many of you, especially the younger students, haven't realized what kind of special treatment you enjoy in the next few months. The Hogwarts library is open to you. , all professors will answer your knowledge beyond the textbook, including various advanced magic spells and theories."
"If I were you, I would definitely not miss such a good opportunity. It will be good for your future."
"But why do we learn so many esoteric things and don't use them after graduation?" A student asked.
Felix looked at the others, and they also had expressions of disapproval. He shook his head: "It seems that this is indeed a problem, so let me expand on it. When we were in school, we might all have a question."
"If you can live a good life with just a few years of rough study, why force yourself to continue delving into those profound and obscure spells and theories?"
"This is actually a very interesting question, can anyone answer it?"
A Ravenclaw girl raised her hand playfully, "Professor, I know! I just like magic! I'm interested in them."
Felix smiled at her, "This kind of mentality is very good."
"Learning magic can get us prominent status, into better companies, Gringotts, Ministry of Magic!" said Roger Davies.
"Hmm, very instructive. Other than that?"
"Others will fear you, fear you, and dare not provoke you." Collins Foley said coldly.
"That makes sense...any more?"
"You can do what you like," said Hermione.
"It's very close, compared with my own answer." Felix said with a smile.
He glanced around and glanced over the eyes of each of them, "I can't give you the correct answer, because there is no correct and unique answer. I can only express my understanding."
"What's the use of studying magic more deeply, including studying those obscure magic theories?"
"My opinion is that while it allows you to go farther than others on the road of magic, it also naturally gives you more choices."
"Do you want to study magic? Of course you can, then quietly be a scholar and understand the mysteries of magic and areas that no one has touched."
"Do you want to occupy a high position and gain power? In addition to having a keen and ingenious mind, the power of magic is also indispensable. At that time, magic was a tool at your fingertips to help you gain fame and power;"
"Or...money? It's not impossible, but I suggest that you choose the right branch of magic. Alchemy and ancient runes are very promising. If any of you are interested, you can consider joining the 'Future World' company after graduation."
Felix blinked and smiled at them.
"There are many things that can be said. Change appearance? Transfiguration can do it; prolong life? Potion can do it; travel the world? /
"Of course, we may also imagine." Felix lowered his eyes, "let the world run according to your will, and some changes will occur because of you."
The students fell silent.
Felix fiddled with his wand and said softly, "Yeah, for some people, like Headmaster Dumbledore, it's never what he can do ~IndoMTL.com~ that bothers him, but what he chooses to do .”
"It's becoming the Minister of Magic... What kind of candy to buy from Hogsmeade... Maybe the latter is more exhausting for him."
"This is why selection is important. The most intuitive example is that every year, students get more than one recommendation letter from professors. Obviously, these people have more choices."
"Let's get back to business and talk about something practical."
Felix raised his voice and said: "According to the latest news from the principal, this competition is different from the past. It will be held in groups. Of course, the difficulty will be increased accordingly."
"Each school selects three people to form a team. After the three projects are over, the school with the highest score will win the trophy of the competition."
He looked at the crowd and said, "Students in the sixth and seventh grades, you will form teams in a random way in the next time, and cultivate a tacit understanding in this way, maybe who will become a teammate in the game .As for the students in the fourth and fifth grades, they can do whatever they want, without any requirement."
Harry, Ron and Hermione leaned together immediately.
