A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 429: Professor tea party


"An effective potion requires the participation of a magic wand. Of course, it is not a foolish, uninterrupted wave of the magic wand. Just a light wave at a critical moment is enough to cause a wonderful change in the materials in the crucible..."

"So Muggles can't experience this wonderful process, and neither can Squibs," Snape said slowly.

On the weekend of the first week of school, Professor Flitwick held an afternoon tea party under the pretext of celebrating Professor Moody's recovery, although in Felix's view, this tough former Auror was not need these things.

Moody ate what he had brought without touching the exquisite tea on the table.

When he showed up here, it meant that Snape's short week of acting as a substitute was over, so when Felix asked about potions, he looked very cold.

Snape sat on a soft chair, slowly talking about the topic just now: "We do not rule out the following situation: some simple potions do not require the participation of a wand, or even the fine guidance of magic power, It can produce the effect spontaneously, but it is more similar to stimulating the original characteristics of the potion material, and in the eyes of those who really know potion, it is just a semi-finished product.”

Felix understands that the pet tonic formula he gave Filch does not require a wand in this case. The main ingredient is dragon's blood. As for those auxiliary ingredients, they only serve to stimulate and moderate the characteristics of dragon's blood.

For wizards, the effects of some potions are similar to spells, and the choice of which one to use is related to the wizards themselves. In other words, they will choose the easiest or most effective method between potions and spells to achieve their goals .

Perhaps money is also an important consideration.

For example, the happy spell and the potion of euphoria can replace each other in most cases. It is not easy to learn the happy spell through self-study, especially if the bad happy spell will produce side effects such as hysteria and endless laughter.

In this case, most wizards will choose to buy a euphoria potion at the pharmacy.

Flitwick waved his wand, causing an enamel teapot to bend down, and filled the cup in front of him, "I heard that some wizards choose to use magical rituals instead of wands when brewing potions, Severus Si?"

"There are also repeated spells..." Snape said, "This kind of situation usually happened in the Middle Ages. Some shallow wizards can't control their own magic, so naturally they can't guide and control it finely. difference, so they choose this way."

Felix muttered: "I seem to have read a similar statement somewhere."

"I guess it's a Muggle fairy tale? There are indeed some wizards who were not cautious enough to be discovered and then burned to death." Snape glanced at him and said.

"That's a long time ago, we'd better talk about something else," said Professor McGonagall uneasily, and she turned aside, "Professor Moody, are you going to go back to class next Monday?"

"It's been dragging on for long enough," Moody said, biting a piece of bland-looking chicken, "I plan to solve it during the holidays, and I won't miss the class! But Professor Haipu insisted on completing the last round of inspections ..."

"Has your memory recovered yet?" Professor McGonagall asked him, but turned to Felix.

"Voldemort's methods were very rough, and he lost more memories than I initially expected, maybe because his soul was also impregnated with black magic?" Felix said softly.

"At least I haven't turned into an idiot, have I?" Moody grumbled, giving a short laugh, reaching for the glass on the table with his oily hand, and the moment his fingertips touched the glass , he stopped like an electric shock.

Silently took off the flagon from his waist and drank it. After finishing the drink, he dressed rudely and said: "The original one was lost by me, this one is brand new, sent by Albus... He is very considerate in these matters."

'Actually, it still has an impact,' Felix thought, 'not only is it a memory problem, but his reaction will also slow down, and his combat effectiveness will be much worse than before. ’

What he did during this time was to eliminate the adverse effects as much as possible.

Gritting his teeth, Moody tore off a piece of chicken and chewed it. He said nonchalantly, "Compared to old Barty, this is already considered good for me. His body is stretched, probably in Azkaban It won't last a few years."

"Barty Crouch is in?" Flitwick asked sharply.

Several people looked over, and Moody said harshly, "That's right, what Kingsley told me was what he insisted on, and before he was taken to prison, he and Fudge talked alone." See other With a strange look in his eyes, he waved his hand roughly, almost hitting Flitwick on the nose. "Oh sorry, Professor Flitwick, don't ask me, I don't know what they said, maybe it has something to do with Voldemort?"

"As for whether Fudge will believe it or not, no one knows." He took another gulp and said, "That man looks indecisive, but he is actually quite paranoid and wishful thinking. But anyway, he doesn't seem to want to cause too much trouble. The panic caused Batty's affairs to be suppressed, and many people thought he had retired!"

He grinned sarcastically.

"I can't listen to him. There are some things that must be reminded everyone. It's better than not knowing anything when it comes to the end"

"Professor Moody," Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "You, uh, you don't mean to do something to the little wizard, do you? Some of the previous actions..." She cleared her throat quickly, her expression Awkward.

"Are you trying to say what I did before? I didn't take some of the lessons, but they did suit me." Moody gave a short laugh, and said with a ferocious smile, "He imitated pretty well. I teach After a while, there may be some reasons for this."

The others stared blankly at Moody.

Moody laughed and said: "Old Barty wants to train his son to be an Auror. He has been training with those candidates since the fourth grade, which is longer than the average Auror training time. At that time, his grades were far ahead."

"I remember he took twelve certificates," said Flitwick. "Since I have taught, only a few people have received this honor."

"I'm not talking about those paper grades, but the collective evaluation of the Aurors. I also taught him the part of detecting and setting traps for a while. At that time, everyone thought that Crouch Jr. would become an outstanding The Auror, take his father's class!"

All are slightly unwell. The better Barty Crouch Jr. performed during his school days, the more he would be in stark contrast to his subsequent realization. Instead of becoming an Auror, he chose to become a Death Eater.

Flitwick changed the subject and said: "Felix, the gift you gave me is very good. I have seen it. I have to say that some gestures in Africa are very good and can be used as auxiliary means. I am ready to add Into the teaching content of the bright side."

Felix smiled and said, "I entrusted a few friends with a list of books they recommended to me..."

Professor McGonagall frowned and said: "Vagadus' teaching method is very different from that of Hogwarts. They will determine the research direction very early, so they can take apart a lot of advanced content, Break it up and integrate it into the teaching of lower grades, but Hogwarts is different. Only a small part of students actually choose transfiguration in the sixth grade~IndoMTL.com~ What about the part about human body deformation? Maybe you can put it in In the Transfiguration Club?" Felix suggested.

"This is really a good way," Professor McGonagall said, "My club only accepts students in grades 6 and 7. They have gone through the OWLs exams, and many skills have been mastered naturally, as you mentioned' Pre-knowledge'?"

She uttered a difficult word, "However, there is not much knowledge of transformation that Wagadu has spread outside, and the transformation of African elephants is very common, but if the innate conditions are not enough, it may only become an elephant. A malnourished thin elephant. From this perspective, it is not as good as an Animagus."

Felix also said in agreement: "After all, Animagus has a certain degree of randomness, which is related to the psychological state of each wizard. If you become a snail, you might as well choose an African elephant. "

Professor McGonagall looked over sternly: "Felix, you haven't learned Animagus in private, have you?"

"How is that possible?" Felix pouted, "If you are a wizard who is interested in studying Transfiguration, you can experience the mystery of Transfiguration in Transfiguration, but I am not... I think this magic is too cost-effective. .”
