A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Three brooms.

Mrs. Rosmerta brought two glasses of mead, "The best oak ripened mead, low alcohol, you will like it."

"Thank you, ma'am."

She nodded with a smile and turned to greet the other guests.

Belby looked at the environment in the tavern. In addition to the little wizards in twos and threes, there were seven or eight adult wizards talking in a low voice.

"I feel like the business here is much better than the pig's head bar," he said.

"The Hog's Head bar focuses on hard liquor, and little wizards don't go to it very much," Felix said. "And the appeal of the owner and the indoor environment are very different."

Belby glanced at the graceful Mrs. Rosemerta, and then thought about the wrinkles on the pig's head bar owner's face and the dirty glasses, especially the dirty and decadent atmosphere in the bar...

"Well, you're right. If it was me, I wouldn't go without a necessary reason."

Felix lowered his head and took a sip of the mead. The taste was very good. The sweetness of honey and the fragrance of oak permeated between his lips and teeth. He could hardly feel the taste of alcohol, but when the wine slid down his throat, he could clearly feel a gust of smell. The continuous heat wave rushed into his heart, making his whole body warm.

"How does it feel to be back at school, Damocles, it's been almost a month?"

"It's very relaxing, I feel young again." Belby said with a smile, "However, sometimes, I really want to knock open some students' little heads to see if they are stuffed with Babo tuber pus. ?"

Felix looked at him speechlessly, as expected of you, Master of Potions, with such a refreshing metaphor.

The balbo tuber is an extremely ugly plant, and its pus is no less than that, a viscous yellow-green liquid with a pungent smell of oil.

However, he can't be blamed for being mean. The challenges Belby has encountered from scumbags have surpassed Felix in all aspects - because Defense Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory course, and before the sixth grade, every little wizard has must participate.

As we all know, the teaching quality of this course has always been worrying.

Felix said, "There are always some good students, aren't there?"

"That's true," Belby reflected on himself, "I'm teaching a little faster, you know, to make up for the shortcomings. Take the second grade as an example, they didn't even see low-risk magical creatures. After a few, let alone how to deal with little hexes."

"That's what you boiled the potion for?"

"Yes, I collected a list of the little curses they mastered, and made a special topic to teach them how to deal with these spells."

"Sounds good, Damocles, you have a gift for teaching."

"No, Felix, your 'answer parchment' helped me a lot."

Felix looked at him puzzled.

Belby explained: "I converted the information I found into test questions, put them on the answer parchment, and urged them to complete them after class as part of their homework."

This is... an online job?

The answer parchment of the general subject version has been available for some time, and each professor has obtained a dragon skin scroll, which can modify and add the questions of the corresponding subject - Felix has opened up this part of the authority.

However, most professors pay more attention to the students in the fifth and seventh grades. They have moved all the questions of the OWLs and NEWTs exams in recent years. As for other grades, they may only give the focus range and the corresponding reference chapters.

No one seems to realize this use of parchment yet...

Felix looked at him, and Belby said a little embarrassedly: "Although I only plan to substitute for half a year, I also hope to make a grade. To be honest, I don't want to let the little wizards tell the new professor about me in the next school year. How bad."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be a better Defence Against the Dark Arts professor than you in the past ten years." Felix said with great understanding that most of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professors in the past ten years have been encountered when he was in school, and the rest The few below, as far as he knows, the reputation is also quite general.

Not to mention the last two years, a dark wizard and a liar.

At the end of this small gathering, Belby talked about his latest teaching plan, "In addition to the topic of small curses, I also want to do a topic about creatures in the forbidden forest, which also contains many dangerous magical creatures."

He also formally invited Felix to explore the Forbidden Forest together.

Looking at his hesitant tone, Felix understood in his heart that this was because he was afraid of being affected by the curse. He wanted to find a partner who could take care of each other in the event of danger, so that he would not be left alone because of accidents.

Like encountering a Tepo warthog?

Felix agreed after thinking for a moment. He also prepared to explore the Forbidden Forest in an all-round way, picking up some magic materials by the way.

Every time he saw the snake tooth knife, he always felt that it was mocking him.

Felix had the heart to change the unicorn dagger that Hagrid had given him to a runic carving knife.

Back at school, the two separated.

On the way back to the office, Felix saw several little wizards, with obvious awe and gratitude in their expressions, which made Felix a little confused.

Peeves story spread? Wouldn't it be another outrageous rumor?

Until the third wave of young wizards he met, they all had similar eyes. Felix couldn't hold back his curiosity and stopped one of them: "Finley, what happened in the castle recently?"

Justin Finchley looked at him admiringly. "Professor Happ, it's about Peeves."

Felix thought to himself, as expected, it's not a rumor that I killed Peeves, right?

"Specifically," he said softly.

Justin said a little excitedly: "Several Slytherin students said you couldn't stand Peeves' pranks and taught him a lesson with magic."

There's no problem at this point, Felix thought.

"please continue."

"...Everyone found that Peeves became weird. He seemed to be imitating different students' speech, and he was stupid."

It's okay to get here.

"And then?" He wondered at which step the message flow went wrong.

"Then, Ron's twin brother found out about Peeves, and they made a big fan and fanned Peeves all over the castle."

Felix: "...very creative ideas, did they cause any trouble?"

"Does it count as attracting a large number of ghosts?"

"ghost?"

"Yeah, they clapped their hands, especially a pudgy ghost with a pair of big glasses, and she was absolutely delighted," Justin Finchley said.

Weeping Myrtle? Felix guessed.

"Where are they now?" He intends to look over there.

"Oh, it was in the courtyard - they were going to have a makeshift party and they were taken away by Professor McGonagall."

"She doesn't look happy," Justin added.
