A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 613: Return to the original owner

"A certain Hogwarts rune professor ()"

Felix briefly mentions Percy's report before going out.

Ms. Burns nodded to show she understood. They walked out of the small lounge, and everyone outside waited anxiously. At least so far, the ownership of the snakewood wand is still a mystery. Nephew Stewart was whispering in the corner.

"Let's go," Felix said quietly.

"Where are you going?" Melville Stewart asked with wide eyes, glanced at his uncle out of the corner of his eye, and Blaise shook his head slightly, so he and the others turned their attention to Felix again.

"Of course I will go wherever the snakewood staff is." Felix said, "As for who it belongs to, I don't care, you can discuss it yourself."

These words were still biased, and both Uriah and Vice Principal Greg looked happy. Melville wanted to say something, but his uncle held his arm and stopped him, seeming to agree to this approach.

A group of people walked out of the minister's office. The door slammed shut from behind. .

When Felix left the Ministry of Magic, he could no longer use magic, so people kept greeting him warmly or paying attention to him along the way. When passing by the foyer, a few sharp-eyed Squibs noticed his back and looked suspiciously, but before they could react, they had already boarded the escalator and came out of the red telephone booth.

"Let's meet at the gate of Ilvermorny School, isn't it okay? I don't know the way very well. I need a guide—Uria?"

Uria nodded and walked to Felix. He glanced at the vice-principal, "Mr. Greg, then I'll be with Mr. Haip. You—"

"Don't worry about me." The vice-principal said with a smile. Spurte glared at him, didn't speak, and strode towards a deep alley.

Felix pulled Uriah into Apparition, and after several times of apparition, he had already appeared on the border of the United States. Uriah looked around, trying to identify the direction, and then his mouth opened wider and wider.

"There seems to be a—"

Black market...? His expression was awkward, and he couldn't help guessing what Mr. Haipu was doing when he first came here. And he guessed that Mr. Haipu didn't have the habit of reporting abroad... Well, at least there was a reason for this incident.

"I once fished nearby." Felix looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest. The scenery near the place where they landed was very desolate, and there was nothing to see except for the salty sea waves and the washed black stones. . But memories color this deserted beach.

"It's up to you to lead the way."

"Of course."

It took a while on the way, and finally, they appeared halfway up the mountain, and saw a majestic building group looming in the clouds and mist on the top of Mount Greylock. For the last part of the journey, the two walked all the way, and Felix also took the opportunity to learn about Uriah's recent progress.

"I only saw Voldemort once, and that was the day he took the snakewood wand." Uriah said softly. When they were walking through the mountains and forests, he introduced his experience for nearly a year, "Only I saw After being repeatedly cross-examined about his strength, the Congress seems to have a lot of concerns.”

Felix knew the horror of Voldemort's Killing Curse. Moreover, the Snakewood Wand revived after sleeping for hundreds of years, and happened to meet the most suitable owner for it. Naturally, he seemed excited and cooperative enough. Not necessarily weak, but definitely careless.

"Afterwards, I joined the Auror team, and I didn't actually do anything. Except for training, the only meaningful thing was to lead the team to wipe out a few black markets..." Yuria glanced at Felix strangely. s.

"After a while, there was news that Voldemort was looting everywhere. I applied to lead a team to pursue him, at least to investigate his purpose, but was rejected by Congress, and then around the end of June and early July, it was reported that There is a vague news that Voldemort seems to have fallen."

"But the news has not been confirmed yet," he said calmly: "At that time, the Auror team existed in name only, so I left and brought a few partners to England, just in time for you to capture the remnants of the Dark Lord... Mr. Dumbledore once called on all those who are threatened by war to unite, so I joined your action and followed the dark wizard who was arrested for half a month..."

Felix was slightly taken aback.

Uriah's experience is really strange. The Magic Congress of the United States is obviously pretending to calm down the anger of wizards in the country, so they formed a "revenge team", but they don't want to make too much noise and attract Voldemort's attention - there is a very interesting The question is, is the Magical Congress of America afraid of Voldemort?

Felix thought, not necessarily, but definitely extremely afraid. They may have learned more about the inside story from Dumbledore, and know how terrible Voldemort is. In particular, many people in Congress may have experienced the pressure of another Dark Lord first-hand, and they never want the war to burn on their side.

"...Then Ms. Burns officially announced the end of the war. Within a few days, Mr. Greg came to me, hoping that I could introduce Ms. Burns to him. You almost know everything after that."

Uriah has finished speaking.

Felix nodded, and they followed a winding stream all the way up, from which white mist rose from above. He asked again: "Is the Stuart family famous?"

Uria's expression was strange.

"Some aspects are quite famous. This history dates back to the beginning of the school. The two principals have four children: two adopted sons, and a pair of biological twin sisters."

"Ah, The Chadwick Book," said Felix.

"It was written by Chadwick Boot, a very capable wizard whose descendant family is quite prestigious in North America... Another adopted son is named Webber Boot, who grew up When he grew up, he became a hired Auror, met a beautiful Scottish witch when he was performing a mission, and returned to England with his wife after marriage. Of course, what I want to say has little to do with these two adopted sons.”

"The destinies of the twin sisters are completely different, probably because they each inherited the talents of their parents." Yuria said with emotion: "The youngest daughter Leona was born with magical abilities, and she stayed in school after she grew up. As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, she was never married. Her twin sister, Martha, was a squib, and Stewart's branch was continued from her—"

Felix nodded, "She finally chose to leave the magic world?"

He can fully understand the mood of that girl. He could find two similar examples, one was Harry's mother and aunt, two blood sisters who also had only one displaying magical talents, and he speculated that their relationship was not good; another example was Filch , his living environment has something in common with Martha, they both stay as squibs in an environment full of little wizards, while Filch has a withdrawn and weird personality, and loves to blame others.

But Martha Stewart's situation must be even more embarrassing, because her parents are the founders of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

…

"There was no exclusive magic wand at that time." Uriah made a small joke, but immediately turned serious, "Martha married peacefully when she grew up, and lived as a No-Maj ever since. Still in touch with her family, but that link ended with her death."

"After more than a hundred years, things turned around. Some of her descendants had magical talents, and we later called them the first head of the Stewart family. When the little boy showed magical abilities, his elders I told him the notes and legends passed down from generation to generation in the family, and since the first day he entered school, he has claimed to be a descendant of the school founder, although that is indeed true.”

"His surname is a problem," Felix reminded Uriah.

Uria curled her lips.

"That didn't matter because the boy changed his last name back to Stewart when he came of age, 'in keeping with family tradition', as he said. The witch of the famous magical family was his wife, and with the help of his wife's family, he rebuilt the Stewart family. After that—some people speculated that he might leave a will before his death, because since then, every generation of Stewart descendants has been as peaceful as possible. Famous magic family marriage. This is almost an open secret and a joke, that is, how much blood of Ms. Isolt Thayer is left in the Stewart family?"

"Thanks to this strategy, the Stewart family and many magical families have successfully established in-law relationships, although some people hate their practice and are unwilling to intermarry with them. Including the Calderon-Bout family. But in general In terms of research, Stewart has been very influential in recent years.”

"Just like this matter, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is unwilling to make a big deal and attract criticism..."

Ilvermorny Castle appeared in front of him, and Felix saw Mr. Greg and his nephew Stuart from a distance. They walked over, and Melville said defiantly: "You are too slow."

"You used the Portkey?" Felix raised his eyebrows, "That really saves effort."

Melville flushed suddenly. Blaze Stewart put his arms around his nephew's shoulders, and said politely: "Mr. Haipe, we've arrived. I'm curious. Are you going to put the snakewood wand back in its original position? I mean ...plant it back?"

He said humorously, pointing to a fenced field where there was a bottomless pothole.

"Almost," said Felix cheerfully.

"Then I'll wait and see." Blaise Stewart shrugged his shoulders and narrowed his eyes. He stopped talking, but looked around, as if expecting someone to jump out. At this time, the main gate of Ilvermorny Castle opened, and a dozen people stepped out from between two tall stone statues of a man and a woman. They were dressed in blue and raspberry robes, and Felix was very impressed with the colors of the Ilvermorny school uniform. He was no stranger—he had seen many times during the Tournament, and he knew that these people should be the professors in the school.

"The one standing at the front is Mr. Zekariya, the new headmaster." Yuria said to Felix.

Felix looked curiously at Ilvermorny's new principal. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with dark skin, a broad forehead, and gray hair. After introducing each other, Felix took out the snake stick and walked to the deep pit. The people around fell silent and observed him silently.

There was a strange hissing sound from Felix's mouth, like the sound of a snake spitting out a letter, but the sense of oppression was much stronger. None of the people present would be afraid of a snake or two, but they couldn't ignore it This hoarse, evil voice.

The surrounding light dimmed, as if it was devouring the surrounding light with Felix at the center.

"What kind of sorcery is this?" Melville covered his ears and shouted back, his uncle tried to stop him before it was too late, as expected, several professors showed contemptuous eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Parseltongue." The new headmaster Zekaria said with a smile on his face: "Ms. Isolt Thayer's daughter, Leona, has inherited this rare ability. .Blaze, did you call someone else?”

The silhouettes of wizards suddenly appeared, and they were stunned by this strange scene as soon as they appeared.

"They are my friends." Blaise Stewart forced a smile and said bluntly. His eyes were still fixed on Felix, and he had a premonition that his plan had gone awry. Felix Heap can speak Parseltongue! What is his background? Could he also be a descendant of Salazar Slytherin?

And he seems to be able to control the snake stick, just like the Dark Lord. He felt hot, maybe the Parseltongue is the key to controlling the snake stick? But in a blink of an eye, his heart became cold - as Zecariya said, except for Isolt Thayer's daughter Leona, the Stewart family has never had a descendant who mastered the Parseltongue. Could it be that the decision of the first generation Patriarch was really wrong? While reducing the number of squibs in the family, it also diluted its own pure blood?

The smile on Blaize's face disappeared, and he was so distraught that he didn't even care about the summoned allies.

The snake wooden staff floated away from Felix's hand, suspended in mid-air, the body of the staff was radiant, emitting dazzling light. The colors seem to be jumbled together randomly.

The wizards onlookers watched this scene in astonishment.

Finally, Felix finished chatting with the snake stick, and he said in Parseltongue: "Sleep, your body will glow with new life." fell into a deep pit.

Bright, vibrant grass-green rays of light bloomed from the depths of the soil, and the surrounding land suddenly grew a puff of green grass blades, covering the exposed deep pit in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, the brown soil near the center began to squirm, and a small soil bag bulged. A tender green sapling came out tenaciously. It was only the size of a fist and grew rapidly, as if it had been cursed with expansion.

When the sapling grows to the height of a person and the thickness of an arm, the growth speed of the snake wood slows down~IndoMTL.com~ Its leaves and roots flash with fluorescent lines from time to time, and every time it flashes, it will be indistinguishable The ground is taller and wider.

This state may last for an hour or two, or a week or two, but it grows gratifyingly, and it will become lush and lush before long, just like before. Students at Ilvermorny can watch and even enjoy the shade.

Felix looked at his results and was very satisfied.

"This is how it returns to its original owner. The snakewood staff fell into a deep sleep, and no one can wake it up. Oh, and even the function has not changed. Its leaves still have excellent healing effects - Zeka Principal Laiya, can I pick a branch as a souvenir?"

Principal Zecaria was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "This is your exclusive right, Mr. Haipu. All the teachers and students of Ilvermorny should write a thank you letter to you." "Oh, thousand Don't—" Felix muttered, stepping on the soft grass, he stepped forward and broke off a branch about a foot long.

Neither of the two men talked to the Stewart family.

Felix put away the still alive snakewood branches, and prepared to take them to Professor Sprout after returning to see if there was any possibility of transplanting them. Better call Severus too... Dumbledore had recently expressed the idea of ​​hiring a second Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and he should be made aware of it.

"Mr. Haipu, the school professor and I want to apply protective magic to the recovered medical snake wood, why not let Yuria take you to the castle?" Principal Zecariya said with a smile: "The school's Although the library is not as old as Hogwarts, it is definitely not inferior in number, I believe you will be able to gain something."

"That would be the best," Felix readily agreed, "I'm interested in the books at Ilvermorny School."
