A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Under the light, Felix carefully looked at the speculum on the table, which looked like a spinning top, slowly spinning.

As the most commonly used warning device for wizards, if there are suspicious people around, it will light up and rotate at a high speed, and some special looking glasses will emit a harsh alarm sound.

In fact, Felix is ​​no stranger to this kind of alchemy creation. The first book he saw in Hogwarts, "Ancient Alchemy Quest", introduced seven ways to make a looking glass.

As a kind of detector, it contains detailed information on how to make a speculum for black magic, lies, and even specific groups of people.

At this moment, what makes him wonder is, is this pocket looking glass a small gift from Nick Lemay, or does it contain some deep meaning?

"Am I going to take this thing apart?"

He fiddled with the spinning top, his mind full of questions:

Nick Lemay obviously knew him, and said that he had read his book after being recommended by a friend. Who is that friend?

Dumbledore? Or some old antique?

Did you just read your own Muggle research book, or did you read it together with the Ancient Rune Quest?

Did he find himself by accident or necessity? Is it a disguised investigation?

Felix believes that if Nick Lemay has the idea of ​​looking for a successor, he still fits the requirements. Alchemy creations and magic text creations are deeply connected, and as the most famous alchemist, Nick Lemay will definitely be able to understand this kind of thing. connect.

Even Felix suspects that the number of practical ancient Runes he has mastered may far exceed his own.

Thinking of this, he felt a little itchy.

But Nick Lemay just left, without even saying his name, just leaving him a looking glass, what does it mean?

Could it be that the looking glass glowed when the two were chatting?

Felix: "..."

After some hesitation, he finally made up his mind. After half an hour—

He stared at the parts on the table in a daze, there was no reserved magic, there was no small note hidden, there was nothing.

'Am I guessing wrong? Is that an ordinary old wizard with bad legs? ’

There was only one way left for him to verify that, if the old wizard was Nick LeMay, someone must know something.

In the evening, Felix blocked Dumbledore from the auditorium, looking tired.

Felix asked: "Headmaster Dumbledore, is there any progress in the discussion?"

"You could almost think this kind of thing doesn't exist."

The two walked down the steps and into the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky. Dumbledore said: "All I have heard for a long time are all kinds of complaints and shirks, and there are too few people who can really take responsibility."

Felix didn't understand very well: "Where is the problem? It stands to reason that the demands of the Reform Association are very clear. It is nothing more than a question of whether to amend the law or not. If we want to change, which articles should be amended, and to what extent? There should be no progress at all."

Dumbledore said patiently: "You are thinking too easily, Felix. Everyone's demands are different, and the things to be discussed are different. Whether the law should be changed, whether innovation will be punished, the Magic Congress of the United States Compensation or not..."

"Even Fudge wrote letters from thousands of miles away, implying that I would help the French Ministry of Magic for the greater good."

Felix said in surprise: "What's up with him? He can't get a copper nut."

"With you and Keridi," Dumbledore said wisely, "besides, money has never been the most important thing. Since records began, the official communication between the American and European magic circles has been close to zero. They hope to break the The state of wizarding in America."

"How to do it?"

"In a small way, exchange students or jointly hold large-scale events; in a big way, it is to radiate influence out of the country and obtain various conveniences..."

Felix shook his head, this was really not what he could think of.

"I'm more optimistic about the student named Yuria." He said instead.

"Ah, he does have courage," said Dumbledore. "I will do my best to get his pardon."

Felix frowned.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I seem to have met Nick Lemay today..."

Dumbledore looked back at him, his eyes very calm. "I mentioned you to him, and his attention to you has increased significantly in recent months."

"Then why did he pay attention to me?" Felix's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"I think," Dumbledore blinked and smiled, "maybe to exchange some knowledge of alchemy with you."

"Really? But he didn't leave any contact details."

"Of course, Nick rarely goes out and spends most of his time in his safe house. There are not many people who can contact him." Dumbledore took a photo from his pocket and handed it to Felix: " This is what he left for you, and you can communicate through Nick's photo."

Felix took it, and it was empty.

"He's not here," Dumbledore explained.

At the end of the conversation, Felix couldn't help but ask, "Dumbledore, do you know what it means to send someone a looking glass?"

Dumbledore couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe, maybe it's just this thing in his pocket that he can give away?"

Felix returned to the room with a dark face. He glanced at the part of the speculum on the table and couldn't help but want to give it a crushing spell.

"I'm not!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a speculum the other day, so you can guess what I'm thinking."

"Huh? This is a good idea, looking glass... This is a typical magical creation with a very low lower limit and a very high upper limit. There are a lot of shoddy garbage on the market, but even Gringotts Will not refuse to use high-end sight glasses.”

"Looking glasses and magic puppets are similar in some ways, and can be used as a supplement to a course, or as part of a rune club."

Felix's thoughts began to diverge, and when the new school year started, in addition to the normal classes, he also had the Duel Club and the Rune Club in his hands, and he felt that things suddenly increased.

"I should take another professor in the dueling class. Usually it's just me and Severus. After the school starts, the pressure will be very high."

"Who should I invite?"

"Flitwick? McGonagall? Or, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor? I don't know who Dumbledore is yet."

The next morning, Felix bid farewell to the crowd. It was also the first time that he met the President of the Magical Congress of the United States and the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic, and they were polite to each other. The French Minister of Magic also suggested that he could be recommended to join the sequence of the "Medal of Valor", but he declined.

Felix directly Apparates away.

When Hagrid's hut appeared in the distance, he felt the long-lost peace and joy.
