A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Felix left the twins alone after the fifth-grade ancient rune class in the afternoon.

"Professor, are there really seven kinds of looking glasses?" Fred asked curiously.

In the class just now, Felix's arrangement was the same as that of the seventh grade. He also explained the study plan for the whole school year, and briefly reviewed the learning content of the third and fourth grades. At the end of the class, he mentioned that in addition to the magic puppet, This school year will also introduce a new Wraith artifact, the Looking Glass.

Felix nodded and said, "It does exist, you will see it in the next class."

He's procrastinating because there's still a kind of looking glass that's in the process of adjustment.

"Ancient Alchemy Quest" mentions seven methods of making looking mirrors, but they all follow the alchemy route. What Felix did during this time was to replace some rune loops to make them function. unchanged, and even strengthened.

He was eager to try it out, and if he could, he was going to spend most of the year on it—turning alchemical creations into magical creations.

With Nick Lemay, the master alchemist, he was confident.

...

George asked, "Why are there seven kinds of looking glasses?"

Fred said without hesitation: "Maybe the shape of the speculum is disguised? For example, it is usually a doorknob. Once touched, it will scream loudly."

George followed his train of thought: "It's kind of like our fake wand, or the other way around, it's usually in the shape of a looking glass, but if you try to do something with it, it'll shoot fireworks from the tail and fill the house. kid running around..."

"Great idea, George, what a charming little brain," Frey said with a grin.

George bowed. "You too, Mr. Weasley."

"Cough cough!" Felix coughed twice, stopping their mutual praise, "Seeing how happy you are, I can't bear to tell you the next news."

The twins turned to look at him at the same time.

"Oh, no, Felix, we're a gang," Fred said flatly.

Felix was amused, he said this not long after, "Disrespect the professor?"

Fred raised his hands in a begging gesture.

But neither of the two sides cared. Felix discovered very early that the characters of these two people are very suitable for being friends, provided that you have a certain dignity in front of them, otherwise their habitual mischief is enough to cause headaches.

It's not appropriate to be an assistant. Felix initially wanted to find someone to help him share the work, but it was difficult for him to imagine that the twins would seriously correct their homework. He even suspected that they might put a curse on some bad exam papers.

For example, applying a pimple spell on unqualified homework, so that the little wizard who does not study well feels the malice from the rune assistant...

It's interesting to think about it, but it's really just something to think about.

Felix's expression became serious: "Okay, let's get back to the point. This year is your OWLs year, how many exams do you have the confidence to pass?"

"Ancient Rune will be fine, if they change the exam to mending magic puppets," Fred gasped.

Felix said with a straight face: "This is not a joke. I don't refuse you to do research in your spare time and give guidance, but your grades can't be lowered too much."

The twins sighed, and Fred rarely told the truth: "I guess I can pass four or five OWLs, or even less, how about you, George?"

"We are about the same level, but I think you may be too optimistic. I think three certificates is a reasonable number." George said relatively impartially.

Fred suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.

Felix shook his head, and he couldn't let them talk about it at will. He said directly: "In order to prevent you from being too addicted, I specially entrusted your brother, Percy Weasley, to let him take time to watch you—"

"what!"

"No, Professor!"

The corners of Felix's mouth twitched, "Is there anything wrong? I told him that he will not interfere in your research, at least not in the short term. As far as I know, his grades are very good, and he can give it to you. offer some advice."

Fred shrank his neck, his eyes were slanted to one side, and he made a pompous gesture - imitating Percy's tone and saying, "Fred! Put away your mischievous fudge, if I can see it again. If you feed others, I will put you in confinement, and I will do what I say!"

Felix: "...Frankly, your gummies aren't poisonous, are they?"

"Of course not, Professor, we did the test, and I was the first one," Fred said.

"I'm second," said George.

The twins spent ten minutes with Felix, and seeing that they were going to be late for the next class, they hurriedly left. Before leaving, I did not forget to shout out loudly—

"Professor, we will not give up!"

"That's right, unless you reverse this decision!"

Felix looked at their backs with some headaches, and at a certain moment, a thought popped into his mind: 'Did Professor Snape see me in the same way? ’

'But I'm not so out of touch. ’ He went back to the office, took some time, and completed the final seventh speculum refinement.

Looking at the looking glass of different sizes on the workbench, his mood improved inexplicably.

"The number of ancient runes I have now exceeds 1,000. When will this number become 10,000 or 20,000?"

"What will my understanding of magic be then?"

Felix imagined for a moment that when he was fighting, the sky was full of magic text, and under his thoughts, it automatically aggregated into powerful ancient magic. Absolute attack.

There is no escape, there is no escape.

"I think too much, and there are not many people who can make me do my best. I'm still thinking about the content of my next communication with Nick Lemay. His understanding of alchemy is completely beyond my imagination."

"With his perspective, I can examine alchemy creations and magical creations from a higher level."

"This will help me better understand the properties of the rune."

In the evening, when Felix walked out of the office and went to eat in the auditorium, he accidentally heard two pieces of gossip.

The first was that Hagrid's first class had an accident and a student was injured. Felix breathed a sigh of relief after inquiring carefully. The situation was not serious. The student's wound contained a bit of alien magic. With Madam Pomfrey's craftsmanship, he would be able to live and dance for three days at most.

He didn't take it to heart. The former professor of this class had caused much more trouble than this, and Hagrid would at most be punished by a stay-at-home order.

The second thing made him scratch his head. In Defence Against the Dark Arts, the new professor taught third-year students to resist the boggart, a magical creature that can shapeshift according to fear.

Boggart is not strong in nature, but it is amazing for wizards with Achilles' heels or weak hearts. Especially when faced with it unsuspecting.

In class, the object of fear in a student's heart turned out to be Snape. With the encouragement of Professor Lupin, the student overcame his fear and chanted the Boggart Exorcism Charm "Funny". Funny - a symbol of his inner fear, Professor Snape changed into a woman's clothes.

Felix was sitting on the long table of Hufflepuff, two seats away from him, a little witch with two golden braids was vividly describing the scene at that time——

"...Professor Snape walked over aggressively. Although his target was that Longbottom, I also felt a chill in my heart, thinking that this was broken and he was going to fail. Guess what?"

Hannah Abbott said with a blushing face: "Longbottom shouted a spell, like a whip on Professor Snape's body, his clothes instantly turned into an embroidered green grandmother's dress, Wearing a bonnet, and dangling a huge red handbag..."

"Seriously, it's the first time I've seen that boy named Longbottom so cool!"

Felix listened in astonishment, knowing that Snape must be mad.
