A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 454: Transaction
Let me enlighten others... Neville thought blankly, his heart suddenly felt heavy, it was the weight of responsibility.
He likes it.
…
On the other side, Professor Marchban and Old Vera were walking in the corridor of the castle.
"A very talented young man, when I proctored him, I realized that he would have great achievements!" Marchban said loudly.
Old Villa doesn't seem to agree.
"You shouldn't take an archmage lightly," Professor Marchbane pointed out.
"Archmage... you say him?" Old Vera stared, and the little Professor Marchban stared at him without hesitation. He opened his mouth several times, but was defeated by her stern gaze. Come.
"Don't tell me you don't follow the news, Heidström!" Professor Marchban yelled.
Old Vera was speechless. If there is anyone in the entire wizarding world who pays the most attention to Felix's news, he will definitely be the number one. God knows what his expression was when his granddaughter dug out the set of comic books from the study.
Isn't he worried that this kid will smash a few bricks of the ancient Mowen building someday!
"I just read his "Exploration of Ancient Runes" two days ago! It was at his level three years ago." More exciting!"
Old Vera opened her mouth to refute, but she has already continued, "I even wrote to Babling! She praised him full of praise in her reply!"
"That half-breed" Old Vera frowned, and when he saw Marchban's stern gaze, he immediately shut up and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It seems that she was justified in refusing to join you!" she said dissatisfied.
Several students in the corridor looked over, and neither of them spoke. They came to the spiral staircase and went downstairs all the way. "What day is it today?" Professor Marchban asked loudly.
"What? Uh, I think it's the week!" Old Vera was thinking, when his foot sank into a step of the stairs and stuck him.
Hogwarts has many such tricky staircases. For students, it has become instinctive to cross them. Old Vera hasn't been here for more than half a century, and he clearly remembers that there was nothing unusual in the morning.
"Thursday, it turns out," said Professor Marchban thoughtfully.
…
When going to the auditorium for lunch at noon, Felix pasted the Experimental Spell Committee questionnaire handed over by Professor Marchban on the bulletin board in the foyer, and attached a bubble spell on the outside.
Then he waved his wand, and a piece of parchment flew out of the ring and was taped to the wall, with glowing writing on it.
When he left, the little wizards gathered around from a distance and read the new notice:
'Students, groups and teachers who have researched the stable combination of ancient runes and spells can receive a questionnaire from the "Experimental Spells Committee", answer in detail according to the requirements, and send the papers to the Experimental Spells Committee. After the new spell is effective, you will be awarded the honor of "Spell Inventor" and have the opportunity to get the right to name the spell.
The content and word count of the thesis refer to the article "The Invention of a New Type of Spell: The Combination of the Water-making Spell and the Ancient Rune 'Water Flow'" on the front page of the "Daily Prophet" on March 12. The template for the paper can be found in any magic Available from Club Members.
Each person is limited to one questionnaire, which is not enough to copy other people's.
Note: This is the easiest and safest way to get your name printed on your textbook.
Come on!
Signed: Professor of Ancient Runes, Hogwarts, Felix Hemp. ’
Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.
An excited voice came from behind them: "Warren! Look! We just finished the related paper yesterday!" Pete Selton, a seventh grader, pulled a Ravenclaw boy by the sleeve and walked forward Squeeze, "Oh, Hermione, Harry, Ron, hello." Selton greeted.
"Hello." Warren Pardis also said, both of them were the first members of the Rune Club.
Harry and the others greeted each other in a hurry.
"Printing your name on a textbook... sounds really attractive." Selton said with narrowed eyes, reached out and reached into the sticky bubble on the bulletin board, and slowly pulled out a sticky bubble from inside. A piece of parchment, Hermione sharply saw the official seal of the Ministry of Magic.
"Hey~ It's disgusting! The professor's bad taste!"
Selton withdrew her hand and said her fingers were clean. Pardis also took a copy, and the two left together.
"Let's hold on tight, or we'll have to borrow someone else's." Hermione said decisively, and they each took one. Standing not far from the crowd, he looked up.
Harry read the questionnaire, and the first line above was a string of small words: 'Please fill in the name of the inventor of the spell truthfully, and ensure that everyone involved in the research and development of the spell is signed to avoid controversy:'
The first question is: Describe the principle of the spell in brief language.
The second question is: Describe the spell's effect in brief language.
The third question is: confirm the spell type: general practical spell/protection spell/jinx/poison curse/curse/breaking spell/transfiguration/other.
…
"Oops!" Ron exclaimed in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Harry and Hermione asked in unison, looking down at the question above.
"Look at the first line!" Ron squinted and read word for word: "'Make sure everyone involved in the spell development is signed...'" He looked at Harry meaningfully.
"Malfoy!" Harry gasped, and his body felt cold.
At this time, Draco Malfoy put his hands in his pockets and led the two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, towards the notice board. "I heard my name being called..." Draco said, narrowing his eyes.
"Nothing!" said Harry and Ron at once.
Draco looked at them suspiciously. He stared at the bulletin board, tilting his head at Crabbe, who followed his gaze and stared back.
"Go get a copy." Draco said slowly, and Crabbe immediately squeezed into the crowd. Ron quietly tugged on Harry's sleeve, and Harry retreated knowingly.
"Wait, Potter!" Draco said. Harry turned his head back numbly, and looked at him coldly, "Say what you have to say, Malfoy."
Draco: "I heard that Professor Haipu is giving you some advice?"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione tensed. The professor asked them to keep it secret, but Harry had been studying it for almost three months, and he reported to the Ancient Rune Office once a week, and he would always be seen a few times.
"So what? Are you jealous, Malfoy?" Ron took the initiative to provoke him under cover.
Draco glanced at him, lazily took out a small note from his pocket, and waved it. He grinned and said, "Sorry, I have it too."
"What?" said Harry impatiently, startled casually. "You want to receive special training from Professor Hap?" he yelled, and Ron and Hermione also showed incredible expressions.
"You can read it yourself, Potter." Draco was overjoyed, Harry snatched the note, and looked at the contents of the note with Ron and Hermione.
"It's true." Hermione said softly, she recognized the familiar writing on it at a glance.
At this moment, Crabbe pushed his way through the crowd and handed the questionnaire to Draco, who took a quick glance and stopped at the first line.
"Tsk tsk," he said.
Ron and Hermione looked up from the note, looking very frustrated and puzzled. Harry was still looking at the small print on it over and over again, as if trying to find a flaw.
"No name," said Harry.
"What did you say?" Draco's smile froze.
"No name," Harry repeated, looking at him suspiciously: "It doesn't mention the name of the spell, it just asks you to report to Professor Hype's office every Saturday."
Draco paced up to Harry and said softly, "Because of the need for secrecy, but I can tell you, Potter..." His pale eyes sparkled, "It's Apparation and the Disappearance Charm. "
He watched Harry's shocked expression with satisfaction. "Yeah, this has always been your privilege, isn't it? You don't have to be punished for violating school rules recklessly. You have fans everywhere you go, even professors."
"So you're jealous?" Harry met his eyes without avoiding it, and repeated what Ron had said.
"You can think so." Draco actually admitted, snatching the note from Harry. Signing to Crabbe and Gore, he headed for the auditorium.
Harry stared at his back, silent.
"Who knows what he did to win Professor Hemp's favor!" Ron looked at Harry worriedly, and said sharply, "Maybe his dad bought two hundred magic gramophones in one go! "
…
In the evening, Felix was writing a letter in the office. He stretched out his mouth and tapped it lightly on the letter paper, and the writing on it disappeared little by little
"Lucius, thank you for your reminder, your information is very useful. Remember: in the future, every change about the Dark Mark, no matter how minor, must remind me in time. In return, I will follow my promise, train Your son's life-saving magic will start this Saturday..."
He put the letter in an envelope, sealed it, stared at the blank envelope for a while, put it aside, and picked up a stack of manuscripts from the drawer.
This is a pamphlet about runes that he plans to complete, and it is used to promote the use of runes. It contains a detailed analysis of the origin and development of ancient runes, as well as the most important lighting technique.
It is never easy to learn an ancient magic, even the simplest lighting technique. In particular, Felix also intends to adopt a method similar to correspondence courses, which can usually only fool Squibs who have never learned magic.
But he insisted on a challenge.
The secret lies in the extreme familiarity with the lighting technique and the rune card. According to Remus' data, a thousand sets of rune cards have been sold in England, covering almost 40% of the potential buyers, that is, families with young wizards who have not yet entered school.
This is of course inseparable from overwhelming advertising and low prices.
For wizards who lack entertainment, rune cards are a great way to entertain both adults and children. Of course, most parents just regard them as intellectual development toys. This concept was also proposed by the young people of the "Future World" company. In order to come up with an advertisement that satisfies the boss, they took great pains.
Time passed by, and the night gradually deepened. Sniffing Varun yawned, his small black eyes moved away from the comic book, blinking sleepily.
"Chirp! (Still asleep!)"
"Wait a little longer...Valen, don't worry about me." Felix said with a smile, turned over another page of the manuscript, and continued to revise.
"Haw! Haw? (Wait for that fool who can do magic?)"
Felix laughed.
"Don't call me a fool, Andis shouldn't have used Gold Gallon to perform magic tricks in front of you. If you take it away, you'll laugh at me..." He tapped Warren's pink beak and said . "It's Dobby," he explained.
"Chirp!" Varen became excited, and took a sip of lemonade with a straw, and the black and shiny fluff fluffed up, making him feel refreshed immediately. "Humph? (Is that the rich man?)"
"Well, Dobby has been collecting gold buttons lately."
Finally, the little golden clock on the desk struck twelve o'clock. Almost at the same time, a copper Knut in Felix's hand became hot. At this time, Dobby asked, and Felix waved his hand to disperse the warning magic in the room. After about half a minute
"Chick!"
Dobby the house-elf suddenly appears in the office.
Warren's eyes widened, "Hey, hey!"
"Oh, Mr. Haip, hello!" Dobby bowed deeply and said, he raised his head and greeted Warren happily, "Hello, Miss Warren!"
Valen was very happy, looking at Dobby expectantly, "Haw?"
Dobby carefully took out a polished metal button from the pocket of his small suit, and said sharply: "This is what Dobby collected and gave to Miss Warren!"
Warren stretched out his small hand to take it, looked at it for a long time, took out a golden vial from his pocket, and handed it to Dobby.
"Oh, Miss Warren is so generous!" Dobby said excitedly, and he glanced at Felix, who was smiling at the side, and Dobby took it over and looked at it repeatedly.
"It's transparent! Look, it's so beautiful! Dobby got another gift!" Dobby put his eyes the size of tennis **** to the bottom of the bottle ~IndoMTL.com~ and looked around.
After a while, Felix had to remind him, "Dobby, Lucius is still waiting..."
"Oh..." Dobby sighed, and the two bat ears drooped down. It can be seen that he seems to have been avoiding mentioning this matter.
"Don't worry, he dare not touch you." Felix said.
"Dobby knows that Dobby has the support of the great Mr. Hap! But Dobby has mixed feelings..." said the house elf, picking up the envelope from the desk for a long time, "I don't need to talk to him Right?"
"No," Felix assured him. "If you want, you can throw the letter at his feet."
"Oh~" It was obvious that Dobby was very moved, but he still refused, "Dobby is now representing Mr. Haipu, there is no need for Dobby to be afraid of him..." He puffed up his chest and said arrogantly .
"Chirp! (Your leg is shaking!)" Varen held out a finger.
Felix was very conscious and Dobby couldn't understand what Warren was saying.
