Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Just then, the professor of the Ancient Magical Rune class walked in. She appeared silently at the open classroom door and glanced coldly at the dozen or so students.

Chapter 338 Professor Baburin

The students in front of the classroom display cabinet did not notice the extra person at the door. They were looking at the items on display curiously.

For example, the gem necklace placed in the third grid has a golden willow leaf with a pendant as big as an eye, which is inlaid with a circle of diamonds and a crystal clear ruby ​​in the middle. It is still bright and shining after years of baptism, and is very eye-catching.

Unfortunately, this jewel necklace is covered by glass and cannot be retrieved.

Near the bottom, there is an arc-shaped white staff with fine magic runes engraved on it, exuding a mysterious aura.

Moreover, the cane was placed there openly without any protective measures.

Malfoy remembered that his father also had a cane, and subconsciously wanted to take it and have a look.

"I wouldn't touch it if I were you."

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Malfoy was startled and turned around quickly.

Behind him stood a lady with her fiery red hair tied up loosely at the back of her head. She wore a brown felt hat and had dazzling white skin. On the side of her brown wizard robe hung a thin gold chain with a gold pocket watch at the end.

This was a lady whose age could not be determined, as she looked as if she was only in her early twenties, but her eyes and temperament were like those of Professor McGonagall.

The lady looked down at Malfoy and said coldly, "This bone is engraved with the rune representing 'evil'. The person who possesses it will become terminally ill in a short time - class time has come, go and sit down."

Malfoy turned around and saw that the other students had already dispersed and sat down, so he quickly found an empty seat and sat down.

"I'm Bathsheda Baburin, professor of Ancient Magical Runes."

The red-haired lady opened her pocket watch and looked at it. She said:

"It took you seven minutes and fifty-three seconds to enter the classroom today, and the one who solved the puzzle was Vider Grey, who arrived last. It took you thirty-seven seconds to solve the problem I left behind."

Professor Baburin looked at Vader and asked, "Do you know where that sentence came from?"

"Yes, professor," said Vader. "It is said that Odin found runes on the world tree, and the poet wrote down his own words -

Sacrifice yourself to yourself, on a tree that no one knows about!

No bread to satisfy hunger, no drop of water to quench thirst.

I looked down and picked up the runes,

Picking it up and shouting, it fell from the tree.

In addition, the poem also says:

Each word can be used to draw inferences about other things, and these characters are full of meaning;

The characters are great and powerful, they were created by the God of Wisdom."

"very good."

Professor Baburin nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth seemed to lift a little bit, but she was obviously very reluctant to smile, and in the end there was no obvious change in her expression.

"Ved Grey."

"Yes."

"From now on, you are not allowed to solve the introductory puzzles - this is the task of other students."

Professor Babbling's words made all the students look miserable, while Hermione looked eager to try.

"There are several types of magical characters that have been passed down from ancient times to this day—"

Professor Baburin continued, "The oracle bones of the East, the seal scripts of the Ganges River Basin, the cuneiform scripts of the Mesopotamian civilization, the hieroglyphics of Egypt, and the runes of this land - these are what we call ancient magic scripts."

"In my class, you will learn to write, read, and translate runes. As Vader just said, these words represent magic and divine revelations and possess mysterious powers."

“A wizard who can decipher and master runes will possess greater magic power and wisdom.”

"But if you find the content of this class difficult to understand, or if you are unwilling to put in the effort to memorize the basic phonetic table and pictograms, I advise you to give up this class as soon as possible to avoid wasting our time."

“I only accept the smartest and most hardworking students!”

To be honest, unlike those students who chose courses randomly in the past, Wade's class knew the difficulty of ancient magic before choosing courses.

They dared to choose, naturally they were very confident in their IQ. Hearing the professor's words, the students' faces were full of eagerness to prove themselves.

Professor Baburin pointed with his wand, and a palm-sized wooden board flipped over and flew to the middle of the display cabinet, instantly enlarging to half a person's height, with a black symbol engraved on it.

Then, the symbol began to brighten and its color turned red as if a flame was burning. The temperature in the classroom seemed to rise by a few degrees.

"It's kenaz," Professor Baburin said. "It symbolizes light, fire, divine wisdom."

"It can also mean kindness, strength, healing, and warmth - why don't you remember that?"

The sound of flipping through the pages of a secretary's notes suddenly rang out in the classroom.

"The meaning of a single rune is complex. We need to determine its meaning based on its position and the text before and after it. Let's look at a few examples..."

After a brief preface, Professor Baburin quickly went into the main text without any nonsense, and the text was full of knowledge-intensive content.

The students were almost choked to death.

At first, some people were curious to look at the wooden board with runes, but later, everyone was busy writing, quickly filling up the paper with notes.

Of all the people, only Wade seemed relatively calm.

After all, he had memorized the entire runic dictionary, and he already knew most of what Professor Baburin was talking about, having used it countless times in practice, so he had no difficulty understanding it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the ancient magic text class is meaningless to him——

In the past, Wade learned most of the ancient magic runes by himself. Professor Mori also talked about some of them when he was teaching him alchemy, but he only talked about them when they were needed. There was no systematic review, so naturally there were omissions and one-sidedness.

Professor Baburin not only explained the contents of the book in depth, but also expanded on a lot of knowledge beyond the book, which benefited Wade a lot. He even had more ideas about alchemy and the use of spells.

But most of the other people in the classroom began to sweat on their foreheads, their faces turned pale, and the more they listened, the clearer and more confused their eyes became.

After finally waiting for the get out of class to end, Professor Baburin waved his wand and several lines of ancient magic words appeared on the blackboard.

"This is an ancient document. Translate it when you go back. This is your homework. Don't worry, it's all very simple text and doesn't go beyond what we talked about today."

Professor Baburin waved his hand and asked all the wooden boards to return to the display shelves. Then he put away his wand and walked away with brisk steps.

After a while, a student in the classroom burst into tears.

Chapter 339: Isn’t it basic to memorize the entire book?

"I'm so stupid! I don't deserve to take this course!"

Lisa covered her face and cried, "I know that ancient magic runes are difficult, but I didn't know it was this difficult... I thought I just needed to memorize it more..."

Padma, who was beside her, wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, she herself looked pale.

Due to Vader's success, and most importantly, his success seemed so easy, most of the students in Ravenclaw hoped to become alchemists, so they chose to take Ancient Runes.

They hope to successfully obtain an OWL certificate in this course so that they can choose to practice Alchemy in the sixth grade.

In every previous class, it was basically only Ravenclaw students who could enter Alchemy, and only one or two students from other colleges appeared occasionally.

However, after actually coming into contact with it, the complexity, tediousness and profundity of ancient magic words still exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Ved, how did you do it?" Lisa broke down and cried, "Why did you learn runes in the first grade? This course is so difficult!"

Everyone looked at Vader, even the Slytherins.

"You're right, actually." Weed said, "To learn runes, the first thing is to memorize them - memorize the Rune Dictionary, Magical Symbols, and Magical Pronunciation Table. Be familiar with every symbol and all common phrases. Then it will be much easier to learn this course."

"Isn't your statement the same as - if I memorize all the magic books, I can become a great magician?"

Lisa wiped her tears and complained.

"Is this how you learned ancient magic runes before?" Stephen said dissatisfiedly, "There must be some trick, right?"

"Indeed I am!" said Vader.

Stephen's face froze, and then was filled with disbelief.

“He literally memorized all of those books in first grade — in less than two months.”

Hermione frowned and refuted everyone's doubts, testifying for Wade.

Some students looked at Padma, and even though Padma and Vader were not very familiar with each other at that time, she immediately nodded affirmatively.

——She hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but she had heard Michael complain several times about Vader's history of being a bad person.

Then Wade said, "Why else would Professor Murray accept me as a student - just based on sincerity and love?"

The whole classroom was silent for a moment.

"It's time to go, Wade." Hermione checked the time and said anxiously, "I have a Potions class soon."

She forgot that the people in Potions class were actually Slytherins - for example, Draco Malfoy, who was sitting there without saying a word - not Ravenclaws.

"Yeah." Wade stood up with his schoolbag in hand: "I want to go to the library too."

"Oh, we're not together."

Hermione suddenly realized something and rushed out of the classroom with the book in her arms.

This place is extremely far from the Potions classroom, and Professor Snape's attitude towards Gryffindor is well known to be bad.

Although Professor Snape usually didn't target Hermione, she absolutely dared not be late.

Wade helplessly looked at Hermione's running back, knowing that she was used to this way of rushing, and it might be difficult for her to change her mindset for the time being.

And in girls' minds, aging earlier than their peers is probably much more terrible than being late.

Several Slytherins in the classroom also went out, but they seemed more calm - Professor Snape has always been much more tolerant towards Slytherin students.

Padma finally cheered up and comforted her deskmate: "It's okay, Lisa. You have such a good memory. As long as you spend more time, you will definitely be able to memorize it."

Lisa's tears fell again - just thinking about the thickness of a few books made her feel desperate.

Wade ignored his fragile classmates. He went out, turned two corners, and when there was no one around, he turned the time converter back.

……

"What's up with this door?"

"Do you want to solve a puzzle? Like the door knocker in our lounge?"
