A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 4: Felix’s Theory

Felix seemed a little puzzled and asked, "I don't understand, principal?"

Dumbledore put his hands in front of him, showing a scrutinizing gaze, "I mean, you have a great future, but you have been obsessed with returning to Hogwarts! I want to know why."

The meaning of the principal is obvious, you already have a good reputation, you have graduated three years ago, and you have written three books, each of which is quite wonderful. Especially the two books on Muggle Studies, although they didn't sell well - at least compared to the other professor he interviewed - who was also a writer, but the sales of the two works were simply terrible don't.

But it is undeniable that the influence of these two books is extremely extensive. One "Muggle's Struggle History: From Millions of Years Ago" and "How Muggles Think" have become A guide to most of the world's Ministry of Magic departments dealing with Muggle issues.

At least Dumbledore discussed some of the contents of the books with friends, including both the director of the Misuse of Muggle Substances Division and members of the Wizengamot, and they were also full of praise for both books.

Felix thought for a while and said, "Principal Dumbledore, I have a lot of affection for Hogwarts. It is my home, and it makes me feel kind! Moreover, I am also willing to teach students. It is a very fulfilling thing..."

Dumbledore interrupted him, his blue eyes were full of sharpness, and it was impossible to tell that they were the eyes of a centenarian. "We all know this is not true. I want to know your true thoughts. This is very important, and it is related to whether you will get a teaching position."

Felix was sweating a little. He subconsciously launched the Occlumency Technique, and then stopped.

This is not a wise decision. Occlumency isn't a panacea, especially if you're at a lower level, let alone facing arguably the greatest wizard of the century.

Fortunately, he had a plan before coming, and made some small preparations for it——

For example, a few drops of Felix Felicia.

After thinking for just two seconds, he decided to follow his intuition and "tell the truth".

Felix finally spoke, and he said sincerely: "In order to study the mysteries of magic more deeply."

Dumbledore nodded, pretending to be listening.

"Principal, you have been my principal from the time I entered school to my graduation, so you should have a certain understanding of my experience. Before the fifth grade, I spent a lot of time in magic practice in order to deal with some troubles , while ignoring some theoretical disciplines.” This is the truth, and he has always had urgency in order not to be beaten and sap.

"At that time I was chasing power, chasing the power of a single spell, but I was wrong, and it wasn't until the last two years of school, when I finally had the time to appreciate the mysteries of magic, that I realized what I was missing This is also true, while his golden finger helped him become stronger quickly, it also led him in the wrong direction—one-sided pursuit of the power of magic, while ignoring the importance of theory.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his tone became gentle again, and at the same time he was a little curious, "So, your research direction is ancient runes?"

This is not difficult to guess. After all, apart from Muggle studies, one of Felix's three books is "Exploration of Ancient Runes". Muggle studies, on the other hand, cannot be called the study of magic.

"That's right! The more you study magic, the more you can't do without ancient runes, especially when you need to go back to the source and study ancient magic, you can't do without it. I'm also in the sixth or seventh grade , I just discovered this, but unfortunately, in my OWLs exam, the ancient rune was only A, so I couldn’t continue to study, so I had to choose self-study.” This is even more true, and it is a mistake made by Felix when he was young and ignorant.

Felix continued, under the effect of Felicia, his intuition became sharper, and his sentences became smoother, "I do have selfish intentions. Hogwarts has the largest library in the world, and there are many Books about ancient rune."

"But on the market——"

"I have read all the books on the market. Unfortunately, most of them are theories, but too little practice-they seem to simply regard the ancient rune as a language, and only use it to translate the manuscripts of the predecessors. And they are studying In the process of being a Muggle, I unexpectedly got a new inspiration, and I tried to combine the two! As you know, ancient runes are also essential knowledge for alchemy.”

Dumbledore was very interested, "You mean—if I heard correctly, you want to combine alchemy with Muggle items?"

Felix seemed a little excited, and he talked eloquently, "Yes, but this is only the initial stage, that is, transforming Muggle items and turning them into magic products. For example, air conditioners are a kind of refrigeration equipment. It can keep the indoor temperature constant in a comfortable range. Muggles need to rely on electricity—that is, a kind of energy—to drive, and it is easier to convert it into a magic product. The core is a freezing spell, plus a detection spell. "

"Of course, the issue of stability needs to be considered, and this requires the use of ancient runes."

"And what I'm doing now is going a step further, combining the wisdom of Muggles with the magic of wizards. You know, Muggles always have a lot of novel ideas, some of their ideas, and want to turn them into reality It's hard, but if you add magic to it, it's easy!"

Dumbledore nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ and commented: "The first step is transformation, the second step is creation, brilliant idea."

The two discussed this issue for a long time, and it took a full three hours before Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses. He was really immersed in the discussion with Felix just now. It can be said that Felix is ​​one of the most outstanding students he has come into contact with in the past few decades.

Especially under my own suggestion, after three years of precipitation, this student has exploded with bright sparks!

Even though he was a Slytherin.

Too bad he's a Slytherin!

Dumbledore was silent, he was hesitating, and the time seemed to go back to fifty years ago.

It's so similar, it's so similar!

Born in the same Muggle orphanage, the same Slytherin, the same excellent and polite, and the same obsession with power, how should he choose?

Time has proved that his choice decades ago may have been wrong. If he hadn't used magic flames to force the young man to admit his mistakes, if he had cared more back then, and even if he had discovered his wolfish ambition earlier, maybe he would not have made a mistake. A terrifying Dark Lord will appear.

So what now?

It seems that the same choice is in front of him again, how should he decide?

The old man was in a trance. Looking at the young, handsome and outstanding student opposite, he seemed to see the shadow of another person.

Voldemort!

On the other hand, Felix seemed a little puzzled. I was telling the truth, although I was telling the truth selectively. We had a good chat just now, why is Dumbledore looking complicated and sad now?

Which sentence did he say wrong?

Sting him?

What's going on?

Felix has a headache!
