A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 659: Persuade

On the afternoon of March 10, Felix appeared with a small note with the address on it. There was a beautiful little house in front of him. He stood on the steps and looked around. The surrounding environment was very empty. Felix could smell the faint fragrance of flowers. He guessed that there must be a beautiful garden behind the house.

Felix knocked on the door.

The man who opened the door was a man with blond hair and a big belly. He looked at Felix suspiciously.

"Hello, may I ask who you are looking for—" the man asked, he was startled suddenly, "Oh, you are Mr. Haip, Felix Haip?" After getting an affirmative answer, he led Fei Lex walked into the house, into the living room. .

"Sorry, didn't recognize it! I have to say—compared with the huge fame, you seem too low-key in person. I haven't seen it in the newspapers a few times. Yes, Dora told me you would come , but I didn’t expect it to be two hours earlier—a Domeda? A guest is coming.”

The man stood in the living room and called down a passage, then he looked at Felix and held out his hand in a friendly way.

I'm Ted Tonks, Dora's father. "

"Hello, Mr. Tonks, Felix Hemp." Felix shook hands, looked around the cleaning tools in the living room, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I think I may have misremembered time..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter," Mr. Tonks said, picking up Mrs. Skoll's brand of all-purpose magic stain remover at his feet, and put it next to the potted plants on the table. Just arrived, she is an Auror, and she has a great responsibility."

"Is this an orchid?" Felix asked while staring at the potted plant. It also has a name "spider holding eggs".

"That's right, it—" Mr. Tonks' words were interrupted by the sound of footsteps, Felix and Mr. Tonks turned their heads at the same time, and a strange woman appeared at the door of the living room, who suddenly looked like Bellatri There was a resemblance to Max Black, except her hair was a soft beige instead of black, and her eyes were larger and kinder.

There is no doubt that this woman is Andromeda Tonks, who was born in the Black family and is the same sister as Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, but she is now Tonks Si's mother.

Mrs. Tonks smiled at Felix, then exchanged a look with Mr. Tonks.

"This is Mr. Felix Happer," said Mr. Tonks.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Hap, Nymphadora mentioned it several times..." Mrs. Tonks said, "I was just cooking in the kitchen. But you came early enough."

So Felix used the excuse of "misremembering the time" again.

Mrs. Tonks nodded reluctantly, "Sit down, please." She said, "I'll get some tea—Ted, Ted, help me." "Oh, oh, yes." Don Mr. Kex turned his head to look at Felix, and muttered, "I remember that I did collect some tea leaves. I'll be right back! You can read the newspaper first, it's on the table."

Felix nodded lightly, watched them disappear into the corridor, bent over to pick up the newspaper beside him, and listened carefully. As expected, somewhere in the room—perhaps the kitchen, or the bedroom—there was a small argument.

"...I know the reason... Act as a lobbyist, don't talk to me about the war, it's over... I warn you, Ted Tonks, if you dare to promise indiscriminately..."

Felix shook out the newspaper calmly. The news worthy of attention is that Ms. Bones, the Minister of Magic, returned from the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards. During this period, she participated in several important meetings with representatives from various countries in the world.

Specific details of the meeting have not yet been released.

There have been some speculations in the newspapers, and they believe that the biggest possibility is related to the law on exclusive magic wands, which may be expected to become a reality within a few years. There is also a photo hanging in the newspaper, a dozen stiff figures standing together, the new chairman Babajid Akinbad looks tired.

A few minutes later, Mr. Tonks came back dejectedly, with an expression similar to that of Babajid in the newspaper. When he walked over, he bumped into the table, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. The potted plant was shaking, so he hurried to hold it.

"Knocked off a few leaves." He glanced at it and whispered, sitting down, "then—uh one"

"Oh, Mr. Tonks." Felix put down the newspaper and said, "I just remembered something." As he said, he stretched out his hand, and the two fallen leaves in the potted plant turned into two beautiful ones invitations.

"I'm planning to hold a small press conference this weekend, the kind of party, if you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look."

Mr. Tonks accepted the invitation and muttered in a low voice, "A press conference? That should be at Future World's company headquarters? I think... well, there may be some problems, and it's not convenient." His voice dropped, Start reading the introduction above intently.

After a while, he raised his head.

"Mr. Haipu, I don't quite understand—witnessing the birth of a new type of treatment with all the guests, and discussing the causes of some diseases that plague wizards'..." He read out a passage, and then asked: "It sounds like Like a serious academic report."

"Almost, I invited quite a few well-known pharmacists and healers in their respective fields, and even some alchemists." Felix said with a smile: "But it is still a party in essence, because I I don’t expect these people to understand what I’m talking about in a short period of time. The press conference will last for a week. Of course, you are attending the dinner on the first day, and the main purpose is to socialize.”

"By the way, I overheard Tonks mentioning that you know something about Muggle medicine?"

"Ah, you say this," said Mr. Tonks happily, "my uncle is a surgeon, and I used to go to his house when I was a child," he said cheerfully, "he has a A study room with various surgical models in it, I was so scared that I couldn’t figure it out..."

Felix listened with a smile, and said: "It's a coincidence, the new treatment method I mentioned may introduce the concept of Muggle surgery. To my surprise, wizards seem to be quite repulsed to use knives on themselves. .”

Mr. Tonks slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Oh, I thought so too! When I was in school, I always thought that Madam Pomfrey could only deal with minor injuries and ailments. It was not until I went to St. Mungo's a few times after graduation that I realized that wizards don't have this concept. .Of course, I think it's because magic is so convenient that you don't need to..."

The Muggle-born wizard looked like he had found the same topic.

"Anatomy," said Felix softly, "this discipline is not used in the field of healing, because for wizards, the problem that plagues Muggles can be solved with a simple magic... Instead There are some applications left in the field of potion science, and they will carry out detailed drawings and potion tests when researching new potion materials."

"But will it really work?" Mr. Tonks asked curiously, "I mean, in terms of treatment?

I have talked to some wizards about this topic, and they think Muggle doctors are a bunch of "

"A lunatic who cuts people open." Felix nodded and said, "I personally think it's a matter of positioning. Given the difference between the two societies, the surgical knowledge that is very important to ordinary people may only play a role Filling the role of supplementary means of shaman healing. But having and not having is a different concept.”

"For example—"

"Dragon pox, a disease spread only among wizards, is fatal. Early symptoms are a green and purple rash that develops between the toes and sparks come out of the nostrils when you sneeze. If caught in time Treatment, usually heals, leaving some ugly scars or bruises at most."

Mr Tonks nodded slightly puzzled.

"I remember a Minister of Magic who died of dragon pox?"

"Edrich Diggory, who worked sick and died in his office. The disease was more common in the elderly, and it was more insidious and therefore more dangerous. Some therapists believed that Dragon pox was originally related to Peruvian Venomodont.

Felix had already prepared to say it.

"Peruvian Venomodont's teeth are extremely poisonous," Mr. Tonks reminded.

"For ordinary wizards, it is true." Felix explained: "So it may be diluted toxins, or sleeping fluids, or parasites and pathogenic bacteria that have not been found on them. There is no conclusion." Then he changed the topic, "But I once found a patient with dragon pox in St. Mungo's late stage,

Out of curiosity, I checked his physical condition. Unfortunately, there was no cure for him at that time. He was covered in bruises—of course, this was just a small problem. The real fatal thing was that his magic power had also become a mess, and some unknown mutation had occurred, which made all existing treatment methods ineffective. "

"That man must be suffering," murmured Mr. Tonks.

"I suspect that there are many hidden wounds in the bodies of advanced dragon pox patients. In fact, those wizards' bodies may already be riddled with holes." Felix said slowly.

"A hidden wound?"

"I found a similar example. The body structure of magical animals is different from that of wizards. Their magical abilities rely more on the special lines in their bodies. These lines are integrated with the texture of flesh and blood, making them difficult to detect. But it is the channel for the flow of magic power, or the magic power circuit. Therefore, magical animals do not need to acquire spellcasting ability through learning like little wizards."

"So that's how it is." Mr. Tonks suddenly said.

"...But this kind of lesion is undoubtedly harmful to wizards. Some lines are messy, and the result is life-threatening, such as dragon pox; .”

Mr Tonks drew a breath.

A cry came from the door. It was Mrs. Tonks, and the teapot fell from her hand. Felix waved his hand and let the teapot fall on the stand.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Hemp," said Mrs. Tonks, in an unnatural tone, listening at the door for a while. She walked over cautiously and put down the cup, "So, can the werewolf problem be cured?"

"Good question. I found and isolated the lesion lines affecting the werewolves. Combined with what I said earlier, there is actually a lot of hope for a breakthrough. Of course, I am not an expert in this area, so this weekend's Party."

"Sounds very convincing, Mr. Haipu, I can't find any loopholes." After a while, Mrs. Tonks said flatly, "But you can't deny that all this is just a theory, a castle in the air... Even if it is a theory Correct, I don’t know how many years have passed before it becomes a reality.”

Even though the conversation was close to the heart, and both sides knew it, neither of them mentioned that name.

"I agree, Mrs. Tonks."

Felix said in a somewhat cheerful tone that it seemed to him that everything was going well.

"In the field of healing, especially the part related to potions, I may not be able to get involved, and I will not be able to make any pioneering achievements. But don't forget, I am an expert in ancient runes, and I always I will think about problems from the perspective of ancient runes. Fortunately, some results have been achieved so far... Although it is extremely difficult and not suitable for large-scale promotion, it is still possible to use it on one or two people to solve some difficult problems. You want Listen?"

Mrs. Tonks pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said coldly: "You are such a good talker, Mr. Hype——I am willing to listen to you."

Half an hour later, accompanied by Mr. Tonks, Felix visited the rooms of the house.

"This is Dora's childhood toy." Mr. Tonks pointed to a row of plush dolls on the shelf. They were all replaced with small animals, mostly rabbits and bears. But her aesthetics still had some deviations, she obviously prefers violet or pink hair, rather than her own taupe." He said a little hurt.

Felix understood that Tonks' original hair color had obviously inherited the characteristics of both parents - a balance between light brown and blonde, but she was obviously not satisfied.

They came to the garden in the courtyard.

Mr. Tonks dutifully introduced various plants, "You have seen the pink, and the purple is here - we have planted a lot of violets, all kinds of them. See the hollow in the middle? It’s not very pretty now, it’s kind of ugly, but once it’s rainy season, it will be filled with water, and we’ll choose to plant some aquatic plants, such as water hyacinth, oh my god, it’s purple again, I just realized…”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the room behind them.

"Someone is coming," said Mr. Tonks doubtfully.

"Is it Tonks and the others?" Felix asked.

"I don't think so, it's still early, and it's more than an hour before Dora gets off work...that's strange." Mr. Tonks said, walking towards the house. They faintly heard voices.

Felix followed behind, rolling his eyes, he probably guessed who was coming.

"Hello, Sirius." As soon as they entered the door, they heard Mrs. Tonks' annoyed voice,

"There is no need to send so many things, the living room can't fit at all."

Then they heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"Oh - you're welcome, my dear cousin. And I know Remus so well, I can't believe he's ahead of me." Mr. Tonks suddenly slowed down, even becoming a little Creeping,

He quietly opened a slit through the back door, allowing Sirius' over-enthusiastic voice to be heard more clearly.

"...cousin, when it comes to Remus, he is one of the few people I admire, both brave and kind,

Always put others first, I can swear, the people he has taken care of over the years are definitely far beyond imagination, even if he himself is poor, well, I mean, once, he is quite rich now, it's perfectly fine Buying a house in Diagon Alley..."

Looking over Mr. Tonks' shoulder, Felix saw Sirius talking with a smile. He was dressed very formally today, wearing a neat suit, with a green handkerchief inlaid with silver thread in his breast pocket, The corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with the coat of arms of House Black.

Looks like a best man ~IndoMTL.com~ but Felix is ​​not sure if the look is backfiring or if it's the reason for Sirius' increasingly explicit hints. Because Mrs. Tonks' face was getting more and more gloomy, and she was wiping the soup spoon with her fingers,

It seemed ready to lift it up and hit his cousin on the head at any moment.

Felix really wanted to pretend he didn't see it, so as to avenge Sirius for framing him, but considering the stability of the Future World company in the next few decades, he cleared his throat.

Sirius stopped talking and turned around in astonishment.

"Felix? Why are you here so early?"

"Why else?" Mrs. Tonks said with a straight face, "Of course it's the same purpose as you.

When more than an hour later, Tonks, who was in love, came back with Lupine, who looked stiff. Even when Sirius intentionally brought up his childhood memories, Mrs. Tonks showed a smile.

After dinner, they took their leave. Lupine walked out of Tonks's house with light steps, his face was half disbelief and half rejoicing after the disaster.

Before parting, Sirius patted him on the shoulder. For a moment, Lupine seemed to understand something, and his eyes were moist. He hugged Sirius hard, took a long time to let go, and turned to Felix.

"Felix, this birthday is mine"

"Work hard," said Felix, spoiling the atmosphere. Sirius on the side rolled his eyes.
