A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 89: Classroom solution
Felix stayed in Snape's office until the end of the first class in the afternoon, and then left in a hurry to teach the seventh-year wizards.
Standing on the podium, he looked at the young wizards of the four colleges.
Add up to less than twenty, "tsk tsk! It's too few."
As early as the beginning of the school year, Felix communicated with Professor McGonagall that he could "properly" relax the grades of the students, allowing some of the little wizards with A grades to enter his improvement class.
The reason for doing this is also to hold the idea of "one more is one". Maybe he can rely on his strong personality charm to fool one more little wizard into joining the family of ancient rune research.
But before his arrival, the course had been lukewarm, and the response was very flat. Except for those wizards who are interested in studying ancient documents, or want to enter Gringotts or the Ministry of Magic's pension department, there is little interest in it.
Therefore, in his seventh grade class, he is either a top student, who will not let go of mistakes, and try to choose as many people as possible; (Pass) slipped through the net.
For example, Marcus Flint, he is a typical representative of scumbags. After entering the seventh grade, he took a total of two courses-protection of magical creatures and ancient runes.
Among them, the ancient runes came in through Felix, otherwise he would have been able to take a class.
As far as Felix knows, the protection of magical creatures class in the seventh grade will add a lot of knowledge about raising and cultivating rare magical creatures, which requires consulting and reciting a lot of materials. With Marcus Flint's mind comparable to a troll, Felix really didn't know how he passed.
On the podium, Felix waved his wand, causing more than a dozen papers to scatter in all directions and land in front of the corresponding little wizard.
He commented: "In general, your grades are improving steadily. However, I must remind you that according to the previous NEWTs assessment standards, you must translate a complete ancient document."
"This means that during your exam process, there may be quite remote ancient rune texts, and you can't find the corresponding knowledge after searching through five years of ancient rune texts."
"Professor, what do we do about it?" said a Ravenclaw witch, wearing her recognizable pair of thick glasses.
"Miss Vera, this involves some exam skills, for example, guessing the meaning of words."
"Conjecture the meaning of the word?" Vera pushed her glasses and asked in puzzlement.
"In the ancient rune textbooks for grades 6 and 7, quite a lot of space is used to explain the evolution of ancient runes, such as Eoh, which has gone through seven versions, the meaning and writing method of each version are slightly different."
"But in fact, as long as you sort out its evolution logic, you will find that its core meaning has never really changed."
Vera nodded, she knew all this knowledge.
And Professor Haipu continued: "Therefore, as long as you know one version of the ancient rune, you can make a reasonable guess based on its core meaning and context."
"Even for those runes that you have never touched, you can make reasonable guesses based on word forms. This requires the use of 27 more common evolution forms..."
"Of course, magic runes are not in this range and need to be memorized separately, but there are not many of them."
Marcus next to her looks desperate, what are you talking about?
Why do I know every word, but it's like a bible when connected together?
"I see, Professor Haipu." Vera said excitedly.
In this class, she is the only one who has true love for ancient runes and is determined to embark on this path, but her research direction is document translation.
This was actually influenced by her family - her grandfather was the vice president of the Ancient Rune Association.
When she came home from the Christmas holidays and said that the new professor of ancient runes at Hogwarts was Felix Heppe, her grandfather's bearded and staring expression was really funny.
On the one hand, he scolded Felix as "heretical and has gone astray", but on the other hand, he shyly admitted that "he does have real skills, and you can barely learn from him", which made her feel in her heart. Put Professor Haipu on the same level as his grandfather.
"Let's continue—" After solving the daily questions, Felix's eyes fell on Marcus: "Flint, your grades are always hovering around A (pass), I am very worried about you Ah."
Marcus had a mournful face. He really put a lot of effort into ancient runes. Even when he was training on the Quidditch pitch, he kept a textbook of ancient runes in his schoolbag—although he only had a total of Opened it once.
But at least the attitude is there, he has never cared so much about other classes. But it is a pity that I am really not this material. Marcus wanted to back out, but he couldn't summon the courage to do so because he shuddered at the sight of Felix.
"Teach, professor, I will work hard." Marcus said tremblingly.
"Very good, feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
Felix began to formally attend class. In this small classroom, there was a clear distinction between top students and low students. The more you listen, the better you become. The more you listen, the more confused you become. Marcus is one of them.
A class passed in a hurry.
Felix left with a stack of parchment, seventh graders' homework in his hand.
Today, he received a total of three grades of vacation homework. Felix is going to give full play to her assistant's enthusiasm for learning ~IndoMTL.com~ and let her make the best use of her talents, handing over all the homework of the third and fourth grades to her.
In the evening, Felix casually flipped through Professor Flitwick's Christmas gift—a manuscript of ancient magic.
There are two kinds of writing on the parchment, one is an extremely ancient and ancient rune, and the other is Professor Flitwick's supplements and annotations, including his research ideas on this magic.
Very instructive.
It's just that according to Professor Flitwick, he has no special talent in ancient runes, so this incomplete ancient magic was researched by him and the former professor of ancient runes—Bubling. Professor Ling leaves Hogwarts for vacation, and the research comes to a standstill.
Sending the manuscript to Felix this time is also an invitation for collaborative research.
Felix waved his wand, and the hazy light blue light, like a river of stars, streaked through the air and landed on a quill.
This brown quill first turned into a toothpick, and then expanded rapidly, becoming the size of a walking stick. As Felix continued to infuse magic, the quill grew to about seven feet, lifeless.
"Well, it seems that the effect is similar to combining the two magics of shrinking spell and magnifying spell, but in essence, it does not have the characteristics of high consumption, high danger, and high strength of ancient magic."
"On the contrary, it is more like modern simplified magic. There is a limit to power and magic power consumption."
"Is it because the part that complements it is the idea of simplifying magic?"
Felix wrote and drew on the parchment, preparing for a protracted battle. Restoring ancient magic is not an easy task.
'I wish I had a teacher. ’ Before going to sleep, he thought with some emotion.
