A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

At the end of November, the weather had become very cold, the castle windows were covered with thick frost, there was a few snowfalls, and the mountains around Hogwarts wore a snow hat.

In a small classroom, it was as warm as spring, and the firewood in the fireplace was burning.

Felix sat relaxed on a sofa, smiling at the little wizards of different grades and academies in front of them. They sat around a dozen sofas with novelty and desire in their eyes.

"Today is the first meeting of the Rune Club. It's good, everyone is here."

"I was busy some time ago, and now I finally have time to think about the club's affairs." Felix was playing with a dark green coin with a unique thick luster in his hand, and the little wizards looked at it curiously. .

The coin does not belong to any known coinage, not a copper nut, a silver sic, or a gold galleon.

Felix means bouncing the coin.

Under the watchful eyes of the little wizards, the coin was thrown into the air, and suddenly changed into a slender snake covered with scales, and then swelled suddenly. The snake twisted its body and twisted its dark green snake body. At a certain moment , it swallowed its own tail in one gulp, forming a standard ring.

The little wizards stared at the weird little snake that kept swimming in midair—many people had never come across this pattern before.

But Slytherin's prefect, seventh-year Jeffrey, said in a low, frenzied voice: "Ouroboros."

"That's right, Ouroboros. If you've ever dabbled in magical symbols, you won't miss this ancient symbol. It represents many things, and is widely used in alchemy, ancient rune, ancient seals, even in the non-magical world. , the Ouroboros are also quite famous, but people tend to call them occult symbols."

"Many people see ouroboros as a symbol of cycles, infinity, rebirth..."

Felix tells the history of the Ouroboros logo, and when he stops, sixth-grade Pate Selton asks.

"Professor, then how do you think about it?"

Pate Selton has a long braid, and Felix had the impression of her that she had blindly bought an onion-smelling amulet before the OWLs last school year.

Felix explained: "I used to think of it as a symbol in alchemy, when I thought it represented the archetype of everything and the cycle of things, the reciprocation of construction and destruction ... in a way, the expression of the alchemist The pursuit of perfect alchemy;

Later, I delved into the theory of magic, and I thought that it contained vitality, symbolizing the alternation of death and new life. In ancient times, many ancient wizards would engrave it on tombstones;

When I came into contact with ancient runes and used them as my ruler to measure magic, I thought it represented infinity and self-growth. "

Felix said leisurely: "Miss Selton, can you understand what I mean? People's ideas are always changing, and the perspectives of viewing things are different at different stages."

He raised his head and looked at the little snake in the ring, and said with emotion: "Everyone's views will not be exactly the same. I hope that one day, you will also have your own views. It is not based on what others say, but after careful consideration after learning."

The little wizards listened with incomprehension. In the Rune Club, there were students from grades three to seven. Not everyone could understand these words and Felix's state of mind.

After waiting quietly for a while, the firewood in the fireplace was still burning, and Felix raised the corners of his mouth: "Okay, little wizards. I gathered you together, not for chatting. To be honest, I There's a lot to do, but that doesn't include discussing trivia."

"The Sorting Hat divides you into different houses based on your most prominent traits, such as Ravenclaw—" He glanced at Qiu Zhang, Penello, Walton Pardis, Eddie Camille Che, Marietta Ackermore, Michael Corner, Padma Patil...

"Slytherin—" He looked at Jeffrey, Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson again...

"Hufflepuff—" He gestured to Cedric, Justin Finch, Susan Burns, Pate Selton...

"And Gryffindor." His eyes flicked across the three of Harry, the Weasley twins, Percy, Arya Spinnet...

Felix smiled and said: "Your traits together make up the different ethos of the four colleges. But in fact, the ethos of the four colleges in turn affects you and accentuates this trait - sometimes I just need to chat with others. With the last few sentences, you can roughly determine the academy he came from."

Felix smiled, "As an aside, for a certain period of time, I consciously played this kind of game, and the success rate was very high."

"Back to the point. There are good and bad things about this approach. The good thing is that each college has its own virtues that it values. Once a ethos is formed, it is easy to be driven forward; the bad thing is that some people don't learn it. Well, instead of being tainted with all kinds of shortcomings without knowing it.”

Penello said thoughtfully: "Professors, like Ravenclaw, advocate knowledge and mavericks, and students are smart, visionary, and curious...but sometimes they are too self-centered. Center, and out of tune with the outside world, and even hurt some people?"

Felix nodded approvingly. "Very insightful, and courageous, Miss Clift."

"The Headmasters of Hogwarts have realised this very early on, and some of you may have had this question, that many of your classes are taken with other houses, and it is not a fixed one, for example Example - Miss Granger?"

Hermione raised her head and whispered nervously: "Our herbal class is with Hufflepuff, our potions class is with Slytherin, and our astronomy class is with Ravenclaw."

"What about after fifth grade?" Felix looked at Jeffrey again.

Jeffrey replied: "Mostly it's four colleges together."

The other little wizards couldn't help but think about this question.

Felix said: "This approach is so that you can see another group of different types of people and learn from each other's good points."

"The club magnifies this advantage, which is what I like. So in the future, when it comes to cooperation, I will let you choose students from different colleges as partners."

Harry looked at Ravenclaw's Cho Chang almost immediately, but to his heartbreak, her eyes were on another person. He turned his head and saw the tall and handsome Cedric.

His heart was instantly filled with a feeling of depression and loss, and the long-standing anticipation was like a soap bubble burst.

Malfoy glanced at Harry, then at the others, wondering what he was thinking.

Percy and Penello smiled at each other.

"Next, I'll talk about the Rune Club itself—" Felix tapped the armrest of the sofa, quieting the restless little wizards.

"First of all, the teaching of the club is mainly based on practical rune, and you will learn a lot of practical rune knowledge;"

"Secondly, you will participate in some of my research, be responsible for providing some data, or form a research group to complete some experimental topics;"

"Sometimes, we might just simply sit and chat about something that's not related to rune, but interesting enough, like--why can we cast spells unconsciously when we're kids, but not when we're in school, or... it's hard ?"

Harry suddenly remembered some of the magical experiences he had had before he started school, such as how his hair was always growing like crazy, and within a few minutes of leaving the barber shop and going home, it was back to its original shape, as if it had never been done. ;

Or when Aunt Petunia tried to put an ugly sweater with orange balls on him, he resisted, struggling, and the sweater shrunk until he could only wear it for a puppet toy;

And when he was at a Muggle school when his cousin Dudley and his gang chased him, he tried to jump over a litter box, only to find himself sitting on the chimney inexplicably;

He also lost the protective glass in the zoo and let go of a large python...
