A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Chapter 173 The Shrinking Wand Tree

The July wind blew through the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, and the green branches and leaves swayed to form a soft sleep song. Felix felt as if a hand was stroking the nerves of his brain, and his whole body was soothed.

He passed the Punching Willow and walked briskly to Hagrid's hut, "Yaya." The black hound wagged his tail happily, and barked cheerfully at him.

Hagrid pushed open the door, his big hand on the door frame, red sauce standing at the corner of his mouth. "Felix? Uh, I'm eating... please come in, it's a little messy inside..."

He wiped his mouth frantically, blushing.

...

In the evening, in the office, the blank photo on the workbench flashed, Felix looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in the photo, and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Nick Lemay."

...

late July.

Felix looked at himself in the mirror. Under the blue casual suit, was a light-colored plaid waistcoat, which was covered with a dark double-breasted trench coat, which was loosely open.

He touched his chest lightly, and a crystal magic glow jumped on the windbreaker.

"The windbreaker made of dragon skin mixed with basilisk skin is very comfortable to wear, and the snake skin vest is also good." The sun shines through the window and shines on his fine black hair, which complements the brilliance of the clothes.

...

end of July.

Felix flipped through the data on the little wizards' learning of magic, trying to draw some useful conclusions.

"Knock knock!"

Professor McGonagall handed over the course selection list, and when he saw the densely packed names, he froze in place.

"Minerva, did something go wrong?"

Professor McGonagall slapped the list in his hand with a smile, "You should be happy, Felix, the students like you."

...

One day in August.

Felix excitedly counted the rune symbols in the Thinking House three times, and he finally determined an accurate number.

"One thousand three hundred."

In one year, he used the huge library of Hogwarts to increase the number of ancient runes by nearly a thousand, and in the foreseeable few years, this progress will only be faster.

As he mastered more and more runes, his understanding of ancient magic was no longer just outside the door. In many cases, he often felt a sense of inspiration.

The most obvious example is his great progress in studying the crippled ancient magic that Flitwick gave him. Hagrid could testify for him—

Under Hagrid's dumbfounded gaze, the branches of a wand tree swayed desperately, shrinking rapidly from a height of seventeen or eight meters, ten meters, seven meters, three meters... leaving a brown dirt pit on the spot. Hundreds of Hushu Luoguo fell to the ground, grinning at the two of them.

After no hero took the lead in charging, these little guys jumped up the wand tree next to them, gesturing dissatisfied.

"Where's the tree? What about the big one?" Hagrid reached out and drew the shape of the tree in mid-air.

Felix reached out his hand, "Flying wand tree." A small sapling, a foot high, flew out of the ugly pit, and was caught in his hand.

Hagrid took it, it wasn't as big as his slap. "This, is this the tree from before?"

"Yeah, one of my magic has improved, and I can do some things that I couldn't do before." Felix was quite satisfied with the effect of this magic.

The wand tree is magical, but it still can't resist his magic.

'The next exchange, Filius will be surprised. ’

Hagrid looked at him and at the sapling in his hand, speechless. After a long while, he suddenly had a magical thought, "Felix, if you use this magic on Lou Wei, will it also become smaller, can I keep it in the yard?"

"Cough!" Felix coughed twice, and said a little embarrassedly: "Hagrid, this magic has not been tried on magical animals, and I don't know the specific effect, especially the huge magical creature like a three-headed dog. In case something goes wrong..." He didn't go on, but he was worried that the magic would have irreversible consequences.

Hagrid said regretfully, "Isn't it okay? Lou Wei has always been alone, and I'm still thinking of letting him be with Fang."

"There will be opportunities in the future, Hagrid, wait for me to improve it for a while."

Hagrid said with interest: "Need my help? I can provide some less important magical creatures, such as Billywigs, Lizards, Thorns, Frobe Armyworms, Grindylows, etc. , should it be useful to you?"

Felix's eyes lit up.

"That's great, I think what this magic needs right now is practical data."

"However, Hagrid, I must remind you that magic is time-limited. Even if I prolong the effect as long as possible, the expected effect time is only a few hours."

Hagrid smacked his lips, "That's fine, at least I can cuddle him, poor Lou Williams, since he's bigger than my house, I can't let him put his claws on my shoulders anymore. "

The two squatted on the ground and carefully observed the little wand tree, which had green magic lines flowing on its surface. After about half an hour, it changed from one foot to two feet, but only ten minutes later, it grew to two meters.

And it's growing faster and faster.

"Hagrid, get out of the way, I'm going to put it back in the tree pit."

Hagrid took two steps back, Felix threw it back into the pit, used magic to position it, and then, he saw the wand tree swell up rapidly, this is a magical picture-

As Felix saw in the book: when unskilled wizards restore Animagus, the process is often extremely slow, and it is easy to have a strange scene where a certain part of the body is restored first, and other body parts follow. .

The same goes for this wand tree. The process of its restoration is by no means wonderful. A branch stretched abruptly, and then the trunk swelled outwards as a whole, like the huge pumpkin that Hagrid had planted. Then it shrank back again, but the overall length soared by a foot...

After half a minute, the unfortunate wand tree finally returned to its original state, but it looked miserable, the branches were drooping, and half of its roots were exposed. Felix used magic to rebury them one by one. into the soil.

Finally, he poured another bucket of nutrient solution, and the state of the wand tree seemed to be a little better.

Felix studied it carefully, and after a while, he turned to look at Hagrid, "Do you think it's a little crooked?"

"Is there?" Hagrid didn't see it.

"Look here, I remember it was straight, but it protruded a piece after it was restored."

"Uh," Hagrid shook his head again and again after thinking about the appearance of a big lump on his back after his Lou Wei had recovered.

Felix glanced at him, "You didn't notice? From my point of view, it's still obvious..."

...

In the evening, Felix received an Evening Prophet. The headline of the night was-

"Bothrace Hotel Conference Ends, the Beginning of a New Era"
