A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

There were more young wizards in the yard, and they looked at the group of examiners from a distance with awe.

Several seventh graders exclaimed when they saw Machiban's wrinkled face.

"She's here again!"

"Almost the same people."

"To be honest, every time I come, I'm surrounded by trolls." Tofody muttered.

Felix smiled and said, "These people are eager to see their Nornes goddess."

"I'm not the goddess of fate, we are wizards."

The day was destined to be long, especially for the fifth and seventh graders, but Felix did what he had to do, and the rest was up to them.

At 9:30 the next morning, the wizard rank exam officially began.

The spacious auditorium was converted into an exam hall for students to take theoretical exams; several small rooms beside the auditorium were sorted out as classrooms for practical exams.

Theory in the morning and practice in the afternoon, the whole process lasts for two weeks.

Felix glanced at the other grades while he was in class. The entire auditorium was quiet. Except for the sound of the quill rubbing against the parchment, there was only the sound of the sand slipping from the hourglass. He turned to teach the sixth-grade little wizards.

Felix strode into the classroom with a stack of parchment.

"Today we announce the final results."

The academic tyrants headed by Percy, Penello, and Jeffrey did not dare to breathe, as if waiting for the fate of their fate.

"There are 33 papers in total, 12 are excellent, 17 are good, and 4 are qualified." Felix read out the overall result: "Congratulations!" He sent the papers down.

The witches and wizards in the audience applauded violently, whispering to each other, beaming with joy.

"Of course, I have to say one more thing—"

The students quieted down and looked at Professor Haipu on the stage.

"This score excludes the practice points, and if you count the extra points...I think I need to correct it: 15 excellent, 18 good."

On their test paper, a new line of handwriting appeared. It was a bonus for the practice part, and it was about the application assessment of 'Practical Rune'. The rating scale on the paper also changes accordingly.

The witches and wizards were overjoyed, and there was a great cheer in the classroom.

"In this class, we will explain the test paper, and we will continue the practice class in the next class."

...

With two grades missing, Felix has a lot of free time, and he spends all of this time on the library.

Until weekend morning, he saw the figure of his assistant.

She is writing a thesis.

"Is there any professor who is so inhumane? He still leaves homework after the end of the term..." Felix guessed while looking at the busy figure.

With less than two weeks until the end of the school year, professors are generally homework-free for the lower grades.

In the evening, he resolved the confusion.

The little witch said to him excitedly: "Professor, didn't you suggest me to check the relationship between wands and wizards? You also recommended me a book called "Wizards and Wands"?"

"Indeed," Felix replied.

"I looked it up a bit earlier and thought it was interesting, in fact, I was fascinated by it. Until the end of the final exam, I finally had enough time."

Hermione told him, "I want to write a paper about it, not for publication - just for fun."

Felix asked with interest, "Are you finished?"

"It's just a part, many of the materials I copied, haven't formed a complete thought." She took out a stack of parchment from her schoolbag and handed it to Felix. "There are my scribbles and comments on it, as well as scattered ideas, which may be messy..."

"It's ok."

"You can do something else first, like watch a movie," Felix said. He picked up the 'half thesis' and looked at it.

Hermione on the side skillfully turned on the small projector, rummaged through the small box, and picked up the film she liked.

After hesitating for a moment between Wuthering Heights and Tom and Jerry, Hermione finally decided to watch something lighter, the former being too heavy for her.

Felix closed his ears to listen, and read slowly, he soon discovered that this was indeed a paper for entertainment, which contained the wand data of some friends around the little witch.

Like Harry Potter's wand - eleven inches, holly wood, phoenix feathers, soft and flexible.

The note given by the little witch is: 'Holly wood, a rare wand material, is widely believed to have defensive properties, representing endurance and permanence, as well as symbolizing death and rebirth, and is suitable for people who need to overcome irritability and emotional impulses. ’

'Phoenix feathers are difficult to tame. ’

She drew two lines on 'overcoming irritability and emotional impulses';

'But holly wands also often choose wizards who share dangers and have strong spiritual pursuits, and their specific performance will match the material of the wand core. ’

'Wands of holly wood and phoenix feathers are extremely difficult to make, and they have huge conflicts due to their different characteristics. But once this combination is formed, nothing can stand in its way. ’

Hermione underlined the last sentence and put a question mark, either because she didn't agree or because she had doubts.

There's also Ron Weasley's wand in it - fourteen inches, willow, unicorn hair.

The little witch's note is: Willow, an equally rare material, has healing powers (?) and is suitable for casting silent spells.

Unicorn Fur: Strongly repulses black magic, is very loyal, and usually fits best with its first owner.

She underlined 'Very loyal', 'Best fit for the first owner', and wrote a small line next to it, 'Consistent with Ron and Neville, Ron's old wand from brother Charlie, Neville The old wand he inherited from his father, the core material is unicorn hair. ’

Seeing this, Felix was a little surprised. In addition to Ron Weasley, there are people who use old wands these days?

Or from two famous wizarding families?

What were their parents thinking?

The surname Longbottom is not an ordinary character. Although it is not a pure-blood representative, there have also been many outstanding wizards, and their reputation has always been good.

There is also an introduction to Hermione's own wand in the paper: fourteen inches, vine wood, with a dragon heartstring at the core.

Here's a slightly scribbled note: 'Vine wands usually choose wizards with lofty goals and vision, who often do things that will shock their friends who think they know them. ’

Felix smiled slightly, and it seemed that Miss Granger was not in a very calm mood when she wrote this.

He then flipped through, with examples from her classmates as well as entries transcribed from the book The Witcher and the Wand.

A little surprised, he also saw Hermione's guess about his wand: Professor Heppe, between twelve and fourteen inches, ebony, the core of the wand unknown, possibly a phoenix feather or a dragon heartstring.

Next to it is a very small two-letter abbreviation. Felix deduces that it should mean black magic. She has seen some black magic books in the Thinking Cabin, so she has ruled out the option of unicorn hair?

‘Ebony is impressive in appearance, and ebony wands are great for offensive magic and transfiguration, choosing someone who has the guts to be themselves, not following the crowd, being a maverick, or immersing in an outsider state. Their owners tend to ignore external pressures and have a firm belief. ’

She was heavily marked with "ignoring external pressure and being firm in her beliefs".

This chapter cites some references, but I personally feel that it is quite important, with the nature of prophecy and interpretation.

It is also a popular science for readers who have not read the original book.
