Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

"I can't believe it! You did not hide it from us!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly. They had already left the castle, turned a corner in front of Hagrid's hut, and turned into the Forbidden Forest. , But she was still a bit aggrieved.

"Hermione, you were arguing at the time--but, Ron, you didn't even tell me, we can put on Invisibility Cloak." Harry couldn't help saying in a complaining tone.

"I think... if it fails, it's as if nothing happened." Ron stunned, eyes unnaturally looking elsewhere, "I guess Malfoy has the same idea... Hermione, many thanks you The white fresh fragrance of the Chinese people."

The lumps on his face don't look obvious anymore.

"That's for Harry to practice Disapparation!" Hermione snorted from her nose.

"But Malfoy turned out to be successful," Ron said. "I always thought he would only cry and call mother, or a big ferret jumping around..."

Hermione feels normal.

"His grades have always been very good. His score on the'parchment' is one of the very best, but you never pay attention to it."

"Yes," Ron smacked his lips. "I don't know. You still pay attention to people ranked lower than you. That's a bunch of names..."

Harry couldn't help grinning.

They walked into the Forbidden Forest, and the light dimmed suddenly, as if it had arrived in the evening, with all kinds of rustling and small sounds in the forest. They want to find a place to practice Disapparation in the vicinity. According to Harry, he can already get out of the "house".

Ron picked off a purple berry and asked: "Can this thing be eaten?"

"Yes," Hermione glanced at it, "Except it's a bit-- "

"Bah!" Ron had already taken a bite, showing a bitter look, "It's bitter!"

"...Bitterness, it seems you already know it." Hermione With a smile, Harry quickly retracted his hand that was leaning toward the branch.

They quickly discovered a familiar path and trudged to a clearing--

"I'm familiar with this." Harry looked around and looked away several times. Sliding on the scattered rocks.

"Yes," Hermione pointed to a big tree, "Remember? We spied on Professor Haip from behind that tree to practice Disapparation...I asked Hagrid quietly, is there no such thing near this forest? A den of dangerous creatures. However, we still have to take precautions—"

She took wand and walked all around, mutter incantations in her mouth.

"Salvio Hexia...Protego Totalum...Repello Muggletum...Thief induction...screaming...Transfiguration guard...I said, if you don't mind, you would help..."

"We only have the first three incantions." Harry and Ron glanced at each other, and got busy. "That was taught by Professor Bellby. The topic of safety in the field...what else?"

"Oh," Hermione patted his head, "The thief induction spell can detect magic disguise. The scream is a kind of warning spell. When someone breaks in, it will make a harsh sound... As for Transfiguration guard," she paused and said with a smile: "Don't you think they are cute?"

Harry and Ron squatted down and looked at things like peanuts—their bodies are The little person made up of two stones should have used transfiguration, but has no feet, but jumps.

Ron stretched out his hand and ejected a deformed guard two feet away.

"It's kind of like a tumbler." Harry commented, lifting the head and asked: "What use are they?"

"It’s more sensitive to magic power, so you can find out in advance that we don’t Something arrived." Hermione said, "One more thing, this is Professor Haip’s magic."

"Prepared well," Ron whispered, "I finally know why she didn’t stop us from breaking the school rules. Now, if I have learned so much magic, I must find the opportunity to use it, otherwise it would be a shame, isn’t it?"

In the evening.

Felix is ​​making a sight glass in the office, with small parts scattered on the workbench.

He cautiously extracted a wisp of magic power from a business card, which Mr. Finch-Fletchley gave him. Then I picked up a jewel the size of a fingernail and blended the magic power wrapped around my finger into it.

"The most important step is completed, then—Warren, I haven't heard the sound of reading for a long time."

He said without raising his head, sniffing tiles on the side. Len sits on a large book, dozing off, and underneath his butt is a literacy book used by muggles with various illustrations.

Hearing what Felix said, Warren yelled in dissatisfaction, and walked up to him in an imposing manner, poking his arm with his little pink hand.

It can't stand it anymore, it can't stand it anymore! Why teach a sniffing literacy?

It has never heard such a ridiculous thing.

For its own sake and for the possible victims in the future, it must represent the sniff race, no, on behalf of all magical creatures, protest to the Great Demon King!

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

A gold Galleon was handed to it, Sniffing Valen froze, and instinctively stuffed his mouth.

"After receiving the money, we must do something, we said yes." Felix tapped it with his finger.

"Gaba——"

Sniffing Wallen's mouth opened wide, like a duckbill, the pink beak opened weakly.

It walked back dejectedly, opened the next page with its flexible toes, sat slumped on it staring at a picture of a motorcycle, and its eyelids drooped down after 1 point... …

The appearance of Hermione rescued it. When she came in, Sniff jumped off the workbench, took funny steps, and plunged into Hermione's arms.

"Oh...Warren? What's wrong, you are too enthusiastic..." She looked at Sniffing a little not knowing what to do, as if she had been wronged. Refers to the sky and the earth, not forgetting to refer to the professor and a literacy book on the table.

"Are you recognizing characters?" Hermione felt a sense of freshness, "I read similar books when I was three years old."

"Haw! Haw!"

Sniffing pointed at Felix, humming continuously.

"Uh..."

"It said that it has never met a cunning human like me. It is going to run away from home and follow you." Felix lowered his head and said, The remaining parts of the sight glass are assembled.

Hermione blinked and looked down at Sniff.

The sniff is nodded. That's right, that's it!

It is going to break out a new piece of Heaven and Earth and create a big treasure trove. Sooner or later, it will make Hogwarts the fifth house.

"Okay, done." Felix stood up with a walnut-sized looking glass in his hand. Before Hermione could see clearly, he was already holding the ebony wand. A silver Swift Patronus flew out from the tip.

The Swift is about the size of an owl and hangs quietly in the air. Felix threw the sight glass on his hand and swallowed it openly.

"Go and find someone. Don't let him find out." Felix said calmly.

Hermione curiously watched Swift disappear from the window and merged into the black night, guessing that the professor wanted to find who.

……

"So, are you worried that you got the invitation card by cheating?"

Hermione clicked nodded, and they were sitting On the sofa, she was holding a box of custard biscuits in her hand, feeding and sniffing, while looking worriedly at Professor Haip opposite.

This incident has been bothering her, especially after Ron got the invitation card in a "normal" way.

Felix indifferent expression, "Why is it cheating?"

"I violated the intent of the assessment," Hermione said sadly, "I can't face the fear in my heart at all. Perhaps among these champion candidates, I am the worst one."

Felix chuckled softly, "Granger, you, and the students under the sixth year, are not trained as champions, don’t count. The champion candidate only seems to be more valuable because of his younger age."

Hermione looked at him in confusion.

"Let’s put it this way, Miss Granger." Felix said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, myself, and many professors agree that it is wasteful to exclude junior students from the competition, but it’s not true. Let you participate in the competition, so there is this kind of compromise method to increase your sense of participation."

"Increase our sense of participation?" Hermione repeated, "So don't mind us cheating ?"

"You are misunderstood. I never said that there is only one way to deal with fear. Have you seen the text on the stone tablet? Courage, wisdom, tenacious, calm, this shows... There are at least four ways."

Felix said gently, leaning on the back of the sofa, looking at her thoughtfully.

"You did at least two things. This was a behavior I never expected. First, you vaguely saw through the illusion. This may be related to the magic that you often come into contact with the Mind House. It is not easy to be confused; second, you use this ability and borrow the power of the illusion to display the ancient magic golden flame that I taught you. This is not something ordinary people can do."

" I discussed this with Dumbledore before."

"How do you know—" Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"If you really used the golden flame, you may have destroyed it." Felix laughed, "But this shows that your understanding of this magic has reached a passing level, and you can already I tried it in reality."

"Now?" Hermione asked cheerfully.

Felix looked at her expectantly.

"Oh, uh... okay." Hermione sat up straight, cleared her throat, and said a string of ancient spells in her mouth, and then a ball of light burst out from her fingertips. One after another Mowen symbols appeared in the air and put them together as a whole.

"puff!"

A group of golden flames appeared out of thin air, and it burned quietly, looking peaceful and distant.

"You can take your hand away." Felix said, and Hermione did so. The flames were still hanging in midair, and the surrounding air quivered slightly. Under her control, the flame was stretched out into various shapes, accidentally, piercing a goblet through a hot hole.

"You need to strengthen your control, Granger. You have always been good in this area, but not good enough. You have to let the flame move according to your heart, like this."

As Felix said, his palm passed through the golden flame, and a small golden flame stuck to the tip of his index finger.

Hermione's eyes widened.

"Is it amazing? In fact, not at all. You have not discovered the true characteristics of this magic. It is not a very bursting magic, otherwise I will not teach you..."

……

In the new week, Felix gets busy.

After class at noon, he took the time to go to classroom 7 to record the name on the stone tablet and give it to Professor McGonagall.

When seeing this shortlist, McGonagall startled: "There is another Second Year student?"

"Yes, I didn't expect too." Felix said: "Unless she has a very deep and positive understanding of fear itself..."

"What are you going to do, Felix?"

Felix has a headache, "I will discuss it with Severus. , After all, she is a student of Slytherin house, it seems that she still has an elder sister in the same house......"

"I go with Severus said." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and said seriously: "No matter what How, I will not agree to let Second Year students participate. We have discussed the training program. To be honest, I think it’s too radical, even those Fourth Year students..."

"Minerva, Fourth Year It's not too young. They are generally 14 or 15 years old, which is the time when they are most eager for honor. If they are dissuaded, maybe someone will send us howler secretly." Felix joked.

"...Well, since you and Professor Moody have said so, Albus has no objection."

Professor McGonagall did not insist anymore. These issues were discussed in the meeting before She actually agreed more than once, now she just complained. She turned to other topics--

"Congratulations, Felix, Remus got a big order."
