Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

Out of Flitwick’s office, Felix found an opportunity to be alone with Snape.

"So...Barty Jr. Crouch was not prepared to poison us secretly and kill us all?" Felix asked. He actually wanted to know what Barty Jr. Crouch made in Chamber of Secrets. What is potion.

"Then he must be careful enough to avoid hundreds of eyes in the kitchen." Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "That's a potion for emergency, let the dying person struggling on whilst At death's door, I identified Unicorn's blood and a variety of highly toxic materials, as well as an unknown type of snake venom."

"Sounds like a curse?"

"Almost, the process is extremely painful, but the effect is obvious, isn't it?" Snape said, opening the office door. His office hasn't changed much, the light is dim, and the shelves against the wall are full of glass specimen jars.

Felix thought of Voldemort's groan he heard in the old Crouch house, and almost understood the statement. He looked around and said dissatisfied: "I remember I gave you magic lights..."

"A qualified Potioneer will not change his life easily," Snape said calmly, his eyes passing by The row of large and small jars on the wall, "And there is a saying that you did not write in the product introduction. The light emitted by the magic lamp has an impact on some dark creatures."

Felix thought about it, but This is true. The principle of the magic lamp is to solidify an illumination technique and then slowly release it. The illumination technique has the effect of breaking the fog and driving away dark creatures.

But this additional effect is not strong, even the lowest level Inferius can't hurt it.

"Remus has nothing to do," Felix said.

Snape gave a "tsk" and said slowly: "It is different from werewolf-potion material is very delicate and needs special incantion preservation to prevent the loss of magic power. I remember I was in class Have you talked about these things?"

"A person’s energy is limited, and I happen to know you and Belby, so naturally I don’t plan to spend too much time on potion. For me, it’s necessary to understand Knowledge is enough, such as how to detoxify." Felix said smoothly, "Why don't we talk about ancient runes?"

Snape glared at him, "I put the magic light in the bedroom."

Felix shrugged, he found a bucket of gray slime in a suspicious corner of the office, sealed by a transparent lid, he leaned down and looked at it: "Is this collected from Blast-Ended Skrewt?"

"It is slightly corrosive, and I haven't found a good way to eliminate its characteristics." Snape said softly.

Felix blinked, "How about lighting?"

Snape stared, stood still for a long time before saying dryly: "It's... it's not impossible... it's worth it. Give it a try..."

Soon, he took out a few drops of mucus from the bucket. When he lifted the lid, the strong smell of stinky fish and shrimp instantly filled the whole room. Felix immediately put a layer of human-shaped Shield Charm for himself. He had used this magic instead of Bubble-Head Charm.

"Need help?" He asked dullly through magic, Snape look pale, but his fingers were particularly steady.

"No," Snape squeezed from his throat, his face turned paler, and his throat couldn't stop squirming. He quickly closed the lid and resealed it with magic, and Felix cooperated to wind up a whirlwind out of thin air and threw the muddy air into the corridor of the office.

I hope there will not be a young wizard who just had a meal.

Snape suffocated. Transfer the wet mucus to a small glass bottle, quickly plug the stopper, and after all this, he took a deep breath.

On the other side, Felix’s palm already holds a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball. Except for a shallow white halo on the surface, it doesn’t emit any light, it looks like A glass ball that glows.

Snape directed the small glass bottle to float over, Felix controlled the light ball to approach at the same time, the light ball entered the bottle effortlessly, and then he quickly used spell on the outer wall of the glass bottle so that the light ball could not overflow Scattered.

Lost Felix's restraint, the sphere of light completely expanded and filled the entire inner space--

"It seems to have no effect." After a long time, Snape said uncertainly.

"What effect do you want, zi zi sound? That's too rough, the rays of light of the illumination technique is very gentle, even if it is released against the face, it will at most cause some dizziness and dazzling, but not Damage to the eyes." Felix explained.

He has already sat back on the sofa, picked up a book leisurely, and flipped through: "Wait, let the magic take effect slowly. Sometimes it’s just the process of infiltrating the material with magic power. It may last for a few months."

Snape stared at the small glass bottle in his hand for a long time, and suddenly there were rays of light in his eyes.

Felix was taken aback, thinking he was going to say something brilliant, but Snape just couldn’t wait to say: “Let’s try a few more times! Let’s compare them with different conditions. ."

"Oh..." Felix dragged the tone, he didn't want to see the slimy stuff anymore. "Wait a minute." He whispered, took out a ring of ouroboros from the ring, and under Snape's weird gaze, a dozen small balls emitting dull white light appeared in front of him in no time.

Then, the ring of ouroboros in his hand suddenly moved, and the little snake twisted its body, swallowing all these balls of light one by one, then turned back and hovered in Felix's palm. At the place, re-turned into a ring.

He handed the Ring of Ouroboros to Snape, "It can store ancient runes, of course, essentially because its material can isolate the magic power well and greatly reduce the spillage of the magic power itself. ...So it can also be used to store lighting."

Snape took it and took a look, "Basilisk scales?"

Felix clicked nodded.

……

When Felix returned to the office, Sniff Wallen immediately rushed up, grabbing his clothes and going up, but soon after it moved suddenly Stop.

It retracted its two small hands and twitched its nose gently. The little face wrinkled immediately, and his small black eyes were full of accusations and looked at him.

Felix froze for a while, sniffed his clothes, "Does it smell?"

Warren was nodded and made a retching motion.

"It may be the smell of Blast-Ended Skrewt larval slime," Felix guessed, "Your nose can be True Spirit. I cover it with a humanoid Shield Charm, so you can smell it... …"

Warren looked at him triumphantly.

Felix cast several Scourgify spells on himself, Warren moved step by step, tentatively smelled, and after confirming that there was no unpleasant smell, he threw himself into his arms.

At this time, Felix was holding Warren while wondering whether a nose with such a sensitive sniffing can't be wasted. Should we add some'extracurricular practice' to normal literacy?

At least learning to recognize the smell of some poisons is certainly not harmful.

In the evening, Harry came to learn Occlumency.

Taking advantage of the Christmas holidays, Felix explained to him some techniques of Occlumency, and Harry looked at a loss in the mist. In the end Felix had to let him continue to read the magic book.

Harry comes every two days, and sometimes runs into Hermione, but in Fourth Year, Hermione does not come every week. Her attainments in ancient runes are far surpasses. Everyone except Felix.

At her current level, even if she no longer improves, it is more than enough to be a professor. So Felix is ​​just assigning tasks now, answering questions for his assistant from time to time.

Harry turned the book to page five and stared at the wizard portrait above with a look of disgust. He was no stranger to this picture-he saw it when browsing the information in the Restricted Section. This wizard was originally the cover of a restricted book, and Ron thought he looked like Draco Malfoy.

But this time it feels completely different. In a daze, Harry found that the wizard's face seemed to have changed to his own. He was suffering in place of the wizard... This was an illusion. His heavy breath sprayed on the wizard in the book, and then he felt his skin look like Was hit by a hurricane.

Harry held his breath, his face flushed red, he kept reminding himself that all this is the role of Professor Haip's magic, he really has a set in this aspect...

Harry He clearly knew that his body was not hurt at all, but his brain was perfused with completely opposite emotions.

Can't continue...I have to stop this feeling, or I will go crazy...Let me think about the primary level of Occlumency, calm down and empty the brain... Huh...huh...too difficult, Harry felt as if he had been thrown into the Blast-Ended Skrewt's nest. Densely packed Blast-Ended Skrewt larvae crawled around on him, and the tail section sprayed sparks, making him itchy again It hurts again...

I want to empty my brain... empty my brain...

But why! Harry thought with annoyance. There was a sudden strong anger in his heart. This anger broke through the bondage of magic. He could see his surroundings clearly-he didn't know when he stood up, the magic book fell on his feet. Gasping heavily.

Professor Haip’s voice sounded from the chair behind the desk:

"If you can make good use of it, anger is also a good way, but it’s obvious that anger is not a way to last for a long time. It’s impossible to lose your temper anytime and anywhere, but...well done, this time you pass."

Harry didn’t get much comfort from this sentence, he was a little bit relieved. Frustratedly asked: "Am I bad?"

Felix looked at him very understandingly: "Occlumency is an extremely difficult spell. Many wizards will never be able to get started. The best way to learn is to let you His brain has experienced the feeling of being'invaded' time and time again. Of course, the degree of this is difficult to grasp, and I happen to have some experience..."

Harry, of course, doesn’t know what the professor’s "experience" refers to. It is an invasion of other people's brains. This experience comes from Felix's year of traveling alone. With the help of many dark wizards, he has struggled to master the embryonic form of the thinking house magic.

Now it seems that all the hard work is worthwhile. This magic has undergone the change of Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

Harry can only take Felix’s words as true. He sits down and thinks about it. He decides to play a card with Warren to relieve his tension, but when he finds out that he has lost to Watt. After Lun, his mood was even worse.

This caused him to look unhappy when he returned to the common room.

"Is that book really that scary?" Ron asked quietly, while secretly handing Harry a bottle of Butterbeer. "The last time Fred and George went to Hogsmeade's inventory, they asked me for five sicoes!"

"Yes, Three Broomsticks Inn only sells two sicoes." Harry said blankly. It's not in good shape now, it's hard to feel sympathy for Ron. He took a sip of Butterbeer, and the dense foam refreshed him and felt that he was alive from the inside out.

"Tell me about that book again, Harry." Ron stared into his eyes and urged.

"Well... you need to face a lot of terrifying emotions, and you must try to prevent them from affecting you... in short, it is terrifying, the professor said, if I can read it all at once, it means I I'm getting started with Occlumency, and this is quite a remarkable achievement." Harry said intermittently, taking the opportunity to drink Butterbeer in his hand.

He looked at the empty bottle a little regretfully, wondering if he was looking for Fred and George. If he could drink a warm bottle of Butterbeer after every practice, it wouldn’t be so difficult?

"The professor is right," Hermione said on the side, she lifted the head from a big book, "I have seen its theory, even those who have mastered Occlumency, do not I must be able to tell how I learned it. They usually learn passively."

"Passive learning?" Ron looked at her puzzled.

"Invaded." Harry said. He relayed to Ron what the professor said to him. "The best way to learn is to make your brain feel'invaded' again and again." He After thinking about it, he added: "I guess this is to make the brain sharp enough."

Ron's enthusiasm has obviously faded.

"Do you want to learn this?" Harry asked, he didn't quite understand this idea. Ron chuckled and said: "Isn't it said that this magic is difficult, I think, if I learn..."

"It will be very face to speak out." Hermione helped him to finish. The unfinished meaning of the words.

"In fact, there is a simple way. The professor mentioned to me... Remember my dementor doll? The professor said that it is equivalent to a simple magic book. If you want to try it, I can Lend it to you." Harry suggested, and he had locked the thing under the box now.

Ron was quite moved, but after thinking about it for a long time, he gave up. He lay on the table whispered: "I'm going to study the magic used in the second task. You said I'm studying Bubble- first. Head Charm or Extraction Charm?"

"Bubble-Head Charm is the content of the senior grades." Hermione reminded him.

"But the humanoid Shield Charm is not easy. I didn't even meet the entry requirements." Ron groaned, "I think I will be drowned, Harry, I will be the first to be eliminated. champion."

"Don't think so," Fred's voice suddenly appeared, and he sat next to Ron. He laughed and said, "I want to start, maybe Ivanovich will be the bottom this time. Well."

"I suggest you better practice swimming, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to swim halfway without energy." George grinned.

"You reminded me," Hermione said, "I only care about the magic part." She took out a small book from her schoolbag and wrote down George's words. Harry knew that it was Hermione to deal with the second Half of the plan prepared by task has been written so far, and he and Ron have not had the courage to read what was written on it.

At this moment, Ron suddenly lifts the head, as if thinking of something, staring at Fred and George in a daze.

"Do you know Bubble-Head Charm?" Ron blunt asked.

"Oh...Of course, this is the magic that must be mastered for pranks. We have suffered some losses in the past..." Fred De said with emotion.

"Teach me." Ron said.

"What?" Fred and George looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Teach me Bubble-Head Charm." Ron repeated.

Fred and George looked at each other, and Fred said: "Listen, we are very busy. We have more than a dozen products waiting to be perfected——"

"Okay Right," Ron said readily, and then muttered in a voice that everyone can hear: "I haven't written a letter to my family for a long time. Mother must be very worried about me, and she may be Bubble-Head Charm, can you give me some Point..."

Fred and George stared at Ron, as if they knew him again.

The two exchanged opinions quickly with their eyes. After a while-Fred de flustered and exasperated said: "Well, you won, Ronnie."

Ron smiled triumphantly.

When the two of them left, Ron had not recovered from the joy of victory, he said excitedly: "I wanted to do this a long time ago."

"You mean Is it...?" Harry said slowly, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Win them once!" Ron said loudly.

Harry fell silent. He didn't think it was a good idea to use coercion to find someone to help with training. On this point, he was receiving special training. Professor Haip was friendly enough, but he still found the life difficult. If he was taught by Snape, he could hardly imagine what would happen to him.

He had expected that Fred and George would come up with all kinds of weird ways to rectify Ron, and the most important thing was that this was delivered by Ron himself.

But seeing Ron's contented expression on his face, Harry decided to tell him his worries later.

In the middle of the night, when Harry was lying on the bed tossing and unable to fall asleep, his ears were full of Ron and Neville's snoring, he thought it would be good to let Ron try it, and he just made use of this Time to come up with words to comfort him...
