A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

In the ancient Rune office, Hermione looked around curiously. The professor's office looked a little messy. There were two piles of Christmas gifts in the corner, and some of the boxes were scattered in one pile.

There are also some strange and strange items scattered on the large workbench, a palm-sized silver plate with magic symbols on the edge, a dozen dark green coins with a thick metal luster, and disassembled magic puppets. A stack of parchment, a few chestnut-wood discs and rune knives, and two or three books.

Felix noticed Hermione's gaze, "It's all recent work, some of which you've been involved in."

Hermione nodded, the silver plate was a Pensieve bought by the professor and needed to be repaired; as for the coin, she had seen it at the meeting of the Rune Club, and it could turn into a dark green ouroboros, she just didn't expect to know it. There are so many children, is it a new teaching aid?

Or, maybe for the Rune Club?

"You sit down for a while, I'll change a coat." Felix walked into the bedroom and changed into a loose navy blue sweater. When he came out, he found that Hermione was holding a small dark green snake in her hand, and another One hand kept teasing it.

Hearing the footsteps, she explained in a panic: "Professor, it's the coin you put on the table. I tried to perceive it with magic power - and it turned out like this."

Felix said with a smile: "You can put a wand on its head and say something silently: infinite."

Hermione looked down at the little snake in her hand. It didn't look scary. It didn't have the sticky feeling of reptiles. Tip of the tail.

The snake's eyes were dark and bright, and kept shaking with her gaze.

She drew out her wand, touched the little snake lightly with the tip, and said softly, "Infinity."

The little snake nodded to her very humanly, and immediately began to swim. She felt a little itchy in the palm of her hand, and then connected end to end on the little finger of her right hand, turning it into a ring and didn't move.

"This is—the Ring of Ouroboros?"

"Yes, it is the symbol of the Rune Club, and I will send it to you at the meeting after Christmas. It has two forms - a coin and a ring of ouroboros, which can replace the heatnut."

Felix jokingly said: "More than one person has reported to me that the fevernut is too easy to be used as a coin, and every time you have to be careful not to pay it out."

Hermione began to study the snake ring on her hand with great interest, and quickly found the trick. She waved her hand, the ring moved, and turned into a snake again, and then the body of the snake was coiled together, becoming the original one coin.

Hermione put the coin back on the workbench, pointed to the chestnut wood disc and asked, "What is this? It looks like a Pensieve."

"It's very close, the process of researching the Pensieve is not smooth, but it is also imitating some gadgets - of course, it is not comparable to the Pensieve, but in the eyes of some people, it should be very interesting. "

Felix suggested that she could try it. Many times, Hermione, the assistant of the ancient Rune class, was the first to try the Rune creations he made.

Hermione walked over and carefully looked at the chestnut wood disc-shaped ornament. It looked very similar to the Pensieve, only a little smaller. The edge was clearly marked with a carving knife. Rune loops, these loops are layered on top of each other. , interlocking, it looks very complicated.

And what she hadn't noticed before was that the chestnut wood plate was covered with a thin layer of fine silver sand. Shaking gently, the silver sand flows like mercury.

"These silver things—"

"Blank fragments of memory, you can think of them as necessary filler material."

After thinking about it, Hermione touched the edge of the chestnut wooden plate with her wand, and the rune circuits around the plate lighted up one by one. group.

She suddenly remembered the bronze smoke that Professor Flitwick showed in a duel class. That magical magic can also be shaped into various shapes, but it just needs human manipulation.

And the silver cloud made of fine sand in front of him looked more delicate, like a silver liquid light that stretched and floated calmly.

"What should I do?" Hermione asked.

"Imagine a memory, prompt, don't be too private, because it can read your thoughts."

Hermione was startled, but since it was made by imitating the Pensieve, it must have something to do with memory. She recalled a memory in her mind, then stretched out a finger and touched the silver cloud.

The clouds began to churn, and the silver fine sand fell like rain. Gradually, they piled up a three-dimensional model on the silver plate: it was the scene of her fighting with Harry and Ron in the back room and the basilisk in the second grade. .

Hermione put her head on the table and looked carefully at the little "Hermione" that was less than half an inch on the chestnut wooden plate. The strange feeling in her heart was difficult to describe in words. Likewise, Harry and Ron were only a tiny bit bigger, the basilisk was half a foot long, was writhing its body desperately, its tail smashing a "big" rock, and it looked alive.

The secret room buildings have also been re-engraved, including the Slytherin statue, the open space in front of the statue, the stone pillars around the snake... They all look so small.

Everything on the chestnut plate is like a pocket sand model, but it moves. From this point of view, the originally dangerous scene also became cute.

Hermione stared at it. The "story" went exactly as she remembered it, until Harry jumped off the Slytherin statue and stuck the delicate Gryffindor sword on the basilisk's head. , the scene stops.

Hermione stared blankly at the slowly swirling fine sand on the chestnut plate, and didn't regain her senses for a long time.

"This, this..." She racked her brains trying to describe her feelings, and finally said dryly: "It's amazing."

Felix shook his head, he was not really satisfied, because this thing was useless to him, at most it helped him to develop his ideas.

"That's because you haven't used the Pensieve, which restores all the details of your subconscious mind. If you did, you'd be amazed at how rich your memory is and how much you don't know about it. know..."

"What you just saw is actually a chestnut plate reading your memory and showing it again. Many places are not clear."

Hermione recalled the scene she saw, and gradually understood what the professor meant: "It's true, I didn't see you, Professor Snape and Headmaster Dumbledore, but you were actually in the back room at the time. In addition, some Places are blurry too, just too small for me to notice, like the Slytherin statue."

Felix nodded and smiled: "You will find that you, Harry and Ron are the clearest, because you are most familiar with them, followed by the Basilisk, which impresses you deeply, and finally the surrounding environment. , Speaking of which, your memory is good enough, if you let someone with a poor memory use it, the surrounding environment may be a large area of ​​​​blurring, or it may not be visible at all."

Hermione concludes: "So, it's just taking what we can recall and showing it without reaching the subconscious."

"You got the point, Miss Granger," Felix praised.
