A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 389: Persuade

  Chapter 391 Persuasion

  In the evening.

  Felix came out of the auditorium after dinner, but was stopped by Cedric and Roger Davis who were waiting anxiously in the corridor.

   "Weather magic? This is a very remote branch of magic." Felix looked at Cedric with some surprise.

   "I think it is very suitable for the first project." Cedric said with a clear mind: "When you are unable to fight, you can try to use devious means, such as hiding and blocking sight. I have been in the past two days I found a spell in the library, Surrounding Clouds and Mist, which can create a mist out of thin air, so I don't have to use the combination of the Clear Water Curse and the Explosion Curse."

   "Do you want to develop further in this area?" Felix thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "It's not impossible, but the mist will be restrained by the flames of the fire dragon. Have you ever thought about it?" Is it?"

  "Professor Flitwick gave me some advice. He said that the necessary spell for those dragon trainers is the extinguishing spell, which can specifically extinguish the magical flames of the dragon—"

  Felix nodded and said approvingly: "That's true, but it takes a lot of practice."

  "That's right, that spell is too difficult, we are not sure if we can reach the level of those dragon trainers before the game. So we must have a backup plan, these days in Room 7, we already know enough about fire dragons , Knowing the characteristics of each dragon. Collins thought of an idea—"

  "Why didn't she come?"

  "Oh, uh, she confiscated a batch of illegal badges and is filling out the form..."

  Felix nodded slightly, "Continue, what is her idea?"

  "Professor Sprout's Greenhouse No. 8 gave her inspiration. As you know, there are seven greenhouses in the school, including the virtual greenhouse in classroom No. 7, it is the eighth..." Seth Derek explained: "Professor Sprout's memory has copied a large number of rare magic plants, but the rarer they are, the more...weird they are."

  He carefully selected the words and said. He, Roger, and Collins tried it before, but they were taught a lesson by the powerful and weird magical plants inside. Devil vines, Whomping Willows, Black Brambles, Exploding Berries, Meebu Meebo Pus... and many more that they don't even know.

  Finally, Sprout’s memory came out and rescued them. At that time, Roger Davis was swallowed by a huge umbrella plant, leaving only two legs flapping outside. Even though they knew that their lives were not in danger, they still had lingering fears.

  This caused Cedric to be a little afraid of his smiling dean in the next few days.

  However, it was precisely because of the deep impression of that pass that they subconsciously relied on this aspect when they were learning about fire dragons and thinking about coping strategies.

  "Dean Sprout was a bit reluctant," Cedric took out some black pimples from his pocket, "but she still gave us some precious black thorn seeds."

  He looked at Roger Davis next to him, "Roger has learned the Growth Curse, and he is also good at mixing potions. According to Professor Sprout's method, we can obtain a batch of fast-growing black thorns. "

  "The only disadvantage is that this approach cannot be used as a regular method of confrontation. Because the seeds of black thorns are very precious, and using potions and growth spells will destroy the original structure of the seeds and make them wither quickly."

  Felix thought about it in his mind, isn't that the beaded bag of his little assistant? She also had a few pieces of devil's cane in her pouch, which she probably forgot. It works similarly to the method Cedric proposed - except that the devil's cane is treated with runes.

  Felix thought silently, and for a while he looked at the two of them.

  "Originally, I planned to put this part of the content on the weekend to explain the mutual restraint and coordination between spells, and then test the spells you are good at, and then formulate strategies based on your respective characteristics, and finally use the advantages of classroom No. 7 to practice repeatedly. But since you already have your own ideas..." Felix took out a piece of parchment, and scribbled down the names of several books and a series of spells.

   "Here is some information about weather magic, you can take a look first." He frowned suddenly, and put away the sticking out note, "I want to get a little bit off track, if we say who is best at weather magic , besides the tent merchant, Newt must be counted."

  "Mr. Scamander?" Cedric and Roger Davis looked at him curiously.

   "Ah, that's right." Felix revealed a look of reminiscence, "He and his wife live in seclusion in Dorset. I visited once during the holidays. That's how I got my sniff. They have a huge The basement, which has been augmented with the Untraceable Stretching Charm, is filled with magical animals from all over the world who need to be cared for."

  Cedric and Roger Davis blinked and seemed to think of something.

  "You should know that different magical animals have different environments suitable for survival. For this reason, Newt deliberately divided into multiple areas. The terrain and weather in each area are completely different. There are volcanoes, pools, There are thunderclouds, dense forests...although it is not big, it is very comprehensive.”

   "We have completely ignored this!" Cedric shouted loudly, he glanced at Roger Davis, both of them had an urge to run to classroom seven now.

  Wait for them to leave excitedly, Felix thought about it, he didn't care about it for the past two days, but he didn't expect these warriors to be quite active. Is it the same for Harry and the others?

   Will you be working hard secretly?

  He smacked his lips. Students who are proactive are easy to guide. He began to look forward to tomorrow.

  But tonight, he has an important meeting.

  Late at night, the night is dark and foggy.

  The night in November is already very cold, especially on the top of the unshaded mountain, the wind is howling, and the trees are swaying like ghosts.

  Felix sat on a bare stone, counting the time of the full moon in his mind, and before he knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

   "Chi!"

  A figure suddenly appears, hooded and cloaked with precious fur.

  Felix took a look at the stranger, "Lucius, your crutches are really beautiful."

  Lucius put down his hood, his pale blond hair looked like silver-gray at night, he breathed out a breath of cold air, met Felix's eyes, shivered suddenly, and let out a muffled groan.

   "Legiliency?" he said angrily.

  "Relax, I'm usually not so rough, but since you seek to cooperate with me, I always have to try your ability first... This is the basis of all cooperation."

  Lucius frowned.

  He realized something was wrong. Before that, no, to be precise, before the Quidditch World Cup, his attitude towards Felix had always been neither too far nor too close. Except at the funeral of Sirius' brother Regulus Black, he represented several pure-blood families, trying to incorporate a bright new star into his group, and did nothing else.

  Unfortunately, that attempt was unsuccessful.

  But then Felix vaguely expressed a cooperative attitude. He was very familiar with the speech style at the funeral. In his imagination, Felix was preparing to enter politics and enter the Ministry of Magic. Of course, he would not pay attention to ordinary positions at all, so it could only be Fudge's position.

  If you want to become the Minister of Magic, you must have the support of some families. Malfoy, on the other hand, can influence the attitudes of a large number of people.

   But this is not the only possibility. Because no one knows when Felix's personal influence has been very far-reaching, Lucius stared at Felix with his scheming eyes, and he faintly felt that Felix was imitating someone.

  Dumbledore!

  The same outstanding academic achievements, the same strength, the same preference for Muggles, and even—they have all become professors at Hogwarts, teaching batch after batch of students who are naturally inclined to them.

  The only difference is that Felix also opened a company, which is managed by that werewolf.

  How could Lucius not know who Lupine was? The first generation of members of the Order of the Phoenix. What does it mean that Felix appointed Dumbledore's people?

  He savored the meaning of Felix's words carefully, sweating thinly in the cold wind, he thought for a long time before he said smoothly: "You should say the opposite, Hai Mr. Pu? You are seeking to cooperate with the Malfoy family—"

   "Well," Felix said softly, "it seems that you don't know how dangerous your situation is, don't mention the bad behavior in the Quidditch World Cup, although I really want to give you a curse... I remind you ~IndoMTL.com~ diary.”

  Lucius Malfoy's face suddenly turned pale.

  "Mr. Haipu, I don't understand what you mean."

   "I will not reveal some things. After all, it involves your son and my students. In this regard, our will is the same." Felix said, "But I need you to be clear, Where is the danger, and avoid being unaware of being liquidated afterwards."

  "The Chamber of Secrets has nothing to do with the Malfoy family, let alone Draco." Lucius gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, that person is dead!"

  Felix took a deep look at him, "Let's think so, but it doesn't prevent you from pondering slowly when you are alone. Then, please let me tell a story, a clever little wizard, um, He happens to have the same hair as you..."

  "...In this way, he defeated the relic of the Dark Lord - the diary that hides his precious memories." Felix didn't mention the Horcrux, but Lucius' face was pale at the moment. "And I, as a professor in the school, saw through this dark magic item and destroyed it without hesitation, so that together with this clever little wizard, I protected all students, especially Muggle-born students."

  "A brilliant victory, don't you think, Lucius?"
