Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

Felix walked down the spiral staircase with nothing in his hands. He always did this, unlike other professors with books and test papers.

He heard Lupin's voice as he passed the office of the castle administrator on the first floor.

"...I'm sorry to trouble you. If you can find it, please let me know."

Lupin's thin silhouette came out of the office and passed Felix. "Hello, Professor Haip." He was shocked and said with a smile.

"Hello, Professor Lupin, you look good." Felix replied.

After he left, Felix knocked on the door of Filch’s office, "Mr. Filch, are you there?" The door was pushed open, and Filch’s face appeared from the shadows, a pair of goldfish eyes Staring at him.

"Professor Haip, I thought..." He muttered, leaving the door open, and Felix followed. It was a rather small room next to the castle's foyer.

There are no windows in the room. Even in the daytime, it looks dim and cramped. The only light source is a green lantern hanging from the ceiling. There are many wooden file cabinets on the walls all around. Some have been stuffed up, peeking from the cracks to the corners of the yellow-haired old parchment.

There are a few chairs in the office, but Felix has no idea of ​​sitting down. He secretly imposes an air-freshening curse on himself, finally getting rid of the fishy smell of everywhere.

Felix looks at each other with a scrawny cat on the table. Its eyes are big, bulging, and shiny.

"She looks very human," Felix said.

Filch was very happy that he used the word "she", and his chin trembled and said, "You will never find a cat smarter than her. If you want me to say, it is more like a human, even better than a human Fortunately... at least she will not violate the school rules and will help you."

Felix patiently listened to how Mrs. Norris patrolled the corridors by himself (cat?) until Filch It was gasping for breath, so he answered, "But she seems to be a little malnourished."

Filch's throat is dumb. It seems that no one has ever asked this question before. He muttered and said, "She Some are picky eaters, I persuaded her, but she only eats fried fish that I made..."

"I have some nutrients here. The formula is very clever. The key is that there is no harm." Felix said. His right hand flicked the ring on his left hand, and a square wooden box appeared in his hand.

He opened the lid and glanced slightly, some regretfully saying: "There is only half left..."

Filch said hesitantly, "Lolise may not like— —" He took out a small glass bottle from the wooden box, opened the stopper, and a strange fragrance diffused, diluting the fishy smell in the room.

Mrs. Norris immediately lifts the head and stares at the glass bottle, showing a longing expression.

But it didn’t move. Instead, it looked up at Filch. Filch said, "It’s okay, Loris, drink it."

The cat immediately made a penetrating cry He jumped off the table and ran to the owner quickly, sticking out his tongue and licking the bright red liquid in the bottle, until he finished licking the last drop, he stretched his waist contentedly, and made a whirr. Voice.

Filch's eyes were shining strangely, and he couldn't help but say: "Lori has never been like this. She is dismissive of pet shop tonics."

Felix smiled Explained: "The formula comes from a potions grandmaster who was awarded the Merlin Second Class Order of Merlin. It was left by Professor Bellby. Although he made it casually, the effect is definitely far better than the products on the market."

"The formula--"

"I can give it to you, the configuration method is very simple, you don't even need to use wand, but some dragon blood may be used."

"It's nothing." Filch said quickly.

"Do you have a parchment here?"

"Yes—" Filch quickly opened the drawer and turned out a stack of blank parchments. Felix hooked his finger to get one The parchment floated in front of him, and as he watched, a series of smooth letters appeared on the paper automatically.

During this process, Filch kept staring at the parchment in the air, twisting his bulging hands together. Felix asked casually: "By the way, I just saw Professor Lupin."

"Yes." Filch repeated unconsciously.

"He's here--"

"Begging for something to be confiscated," Filch said, his eyes still fixed on the parchment, "Professor Haip, don't blame me for instigating...he Not a good person."

"Why do you say that?"

Filch woke up, he glanced at the door warily, and said in a low voice, "He was not honest when he was in school. , Love to violate school rules... Of course not as many as his two friends, but I can recognize him, he is the one who had the bad idea."

He looked at Felix and complimented: "Not like You, you were a decent person when you were in school—"

Felix said a little bit amused: "I had a lot of trouble when I was in school."

Filch Cunning said:" It’s not the same—sir, it’s not the same. You never cause trouble to other people unless the trouble finds you first.” He pointed to the filing cabinet by the wall, “there is a drawer that belongs to them—Lupin and his Interesting friend, if it weren’t for Hogwarts’ abolition of corporal punishment..."

He mumbled dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Pringle caught up in a good time, unlike me, oh, Pringle was the former castle manager Member, he left a lot of tools, and I keep them all."

Felix looked at the carefully wiped iron chain hanging on the wall, shook the head, and it made sense for the young wizards to hate Filch. He knew a long time ago that Filch likes to punish students physically, even if the physical punishment is abolished, the mental punishment still remains.

And Filch is trying his best to carry forward this skill bringing forth the new through the old.

"Mr. Filch, you just said that Professor Lupin came to get his things back—"

"Yes, ten years ago, he and his friends were everywhere Wandering around, I interrogated them and found a suspicious, layered parchment from them. I suspected that there was a secret hidden in it, so I confiscated it."

Filch said, Half of his face twitched, "You don't know how bad they are. After the parchment is confiscated, they still look indifferent," he fiercely said, "They must think I can't crack the secret above, and they will throw it away. So they can pick it back secretly, but-I didn't have it, but kept it in the drawer, and locked it in the drawer."

"Then what about the parchment now, is it returned to the Professor Lupin? "Felix asked curiously.

"...lost," Filch said discouragedly: "I don't remember when I lost it, maybe they took it by themselves."

"But you said , Professor Lupin came over to ask for..."

"Who knows, maybe his friend didn't tell him, or other young wizards stole it from me over the years." Filch said regretfully.

The parchment of in midair fell, Felix handed the formula to Filch, "please put it away."

"Thank you, thank you——"

" You're welcome, Mr. Filch, I got what I wanted."

Filch looked at him in astonishment, Felix smiled: "Look, isn't Mrs. Norris very satisfied?" He Pointing to the cat at his feet, it is rubbing his trousers lazily.
