A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Felix and Hermione sat opposite each other, his index finger tapped the dark sofa armrest, and the little witch across a small low table found herself silently appearing in the Thinking Cabin.

'The professor's spellcasting is becoming less and less visible. ' Hermione thought to herself, it's been more than a year since she first entered here. From the initial color and shape distortion to subversion, she can now be pulled in without a sound, and the professor's understanding of this magic. control is self-evident.

Hermione was very familiar with this place, and she looked at the furnishings in the room with ease, and then her brows furrowed.

The half of the space that belongs to the professor has not changed much: brown, black, and dark green are the main colors, with occasional beige and soft gray, giving people a rich and calm feeling.

The deep chestnut-brown rug is soft and comfortable, and is stacked with thousands of tomes that complement the black wall-mounted shelves, the matte-gloss square table, and the heavy dark-green drapery.

Of course, there are more and more ancient rune symbols of different colors, which are like rhythmic spirits in the whole room, bringing vitality and magical visual enjoyment.

Hermione could imagine what it would be like when the professor came to the hut alone - sinking herself on the sofa, beckoning a book, a naughty rune symbol jumped in front of him, and was flicked away by his fingers...

But now she always feels that something is not right today, is the color of the carpet under her feet dim, or is the green curtain rolled up from time to time quiet?

Maybe it's all her illusion?

"Miss Granger?" Felix gave his assistant a strange look, looking around nervously as soon as she came in.

Hermione also said quite puzzled: "Professor, your mind cabin feels strange to me, it's like—more heavier? Or solemn—" She stood at the junction of the two's minds and looked suspiciously. own half of the space.

There is an obvious modern decoration style, the sun is shining softly, the light brown carpet, the goose-yellow curtains, and the two pots of green plants on the small round table in the center are the same as they were a year ago.

'In this comparison, the strangeness is even more obvious. ' Hermione thought, and she finally thought of a word to describe how she felt: "Dark style?"

Felix laughed dumbly, "Why do you think so?"

Hermione shook her head, "I just thought of it suddenly. It doesn't seem to have changed, but some details make a difference."

Felix understood a little, he said thoughtfully: "You reminded me, this is the external reflection of our inner world, and it happens that I have a new understanding of magic recently, and it will be fine in a few days. "

"Let's start today's lesson, Miss Granger."

Hermione temporarily put aside her doubts and sat back in her seat. She and Felix began to discuss the progressive relationship of Rune.

"Professor, starting from a single rune, to the rune circuit, as well as the rune balls I have seen, and the complex loops that overlap and nest each other on the chestnut plate today, does this mean the more complex the rune structure, The more advanced?"

"In terms of functional realization, this is indeed the case. A single Rune has a single attribute, and we humans always want to achieve more and more complex functions, so we have to study hard how to combine more Rune together. ."

"Let me give an example," Felix held a rune symbol in his hand, "flame, this rune itself contains a considerable possibility, and I use it and you use it, it must have a completely different effect, because we use it. There are different levels of understanding of it.”

The magic symbol in his hand was constantly changing rapidly between rune and flame.

Hermione also quickly constructed a flame rune. Her transformation speed was obviously more than a little slower, and after two or three changes, the structure of the rune symbol was no longer stable, and finally turned into blue smoke with a "chi" sound.

"This kind of understanding of magic itself is actually very difficult to take advantage of. Comprehension is comprehension. There is no shortcut. But if you just want to increase the power of the flame, there are actually many ways-"

Felix grabbed some runes from the air, "For example, I want to magnify the flame—" More than a dozen runes were connected to the original rune that meant flames, and the small flames that were originally the size of a palm swelled into the size of a pumpkin

"I also want it to burn more violently..." He grabbed some rune and added it in, as if stuffing some seasonings, and the fireball the size of a pumpkin started to burn violently, accompanied by "crackling" explosion;

"So far, this magic has been difficult to control, and I have to emphasize that the Thinking Cabin is not real, and what I can do here does not mean that I can perfectly reproduce it in the outside world... Back to Seriously, I still want to raise the temperature—"

The new runes were combined and thrown into the flames. The orange-red flames became brighter, quickly transitioning to bright yellow, bright white, and then there was a hint of blue.

Felix said in a relaxed tone: "If it were in reality, without any protection, we would have burned ourselves, so the statement that ancient magic is dangerous is not false. From the ancient books I have seen, it shows that there are too many. Many people were ruined by the first successful spellcasting."

"Go on—in fact, we have obtained a powerful enough magic at this moment, but obviously we still want more: make it controllable, accumulate magic power, or shape..."

"If you have a deep enough understanding of magic and are very skilled in mobilizing magic, some steps can be omitted. In theory, all magic in the world is the product of magic mobilization and transformation. But most people, including you, also Including me, it's far from being able to do whatever I want."

Hermione looked nervously at the blue fireball that had reached a diameter of one meter in the professor's hand, and the surrounding air began to distort. Although she knew that everything here was constructed by her mind, she couldn't help but feel fear.

Felix waved his hand and made the blue fireball disappear, "Okay, the game is over. What you just saw is just a mental demonstration, I can't do it so easily in reality, I hope it won't make you misunderstood. ."

"I repeat, ancient magic is very dangerous."

Hermione obviously accepted this remark. Next, she practiced ancient Rune step by step. In addition to learning new content, she also needed to deepen her understanding of Rune. The symbols are transformed into corresponding magical meanings."

She counted with her fingers, and the only ones who really reached the level of "understanding" were "Bison Power", "Light", "Flame" and so on.

A long way to go~

Felix encouraged her: "At the next rune club meeting, I will take an ancient magic apart and incorporate it into the teaching, and if you progress fast enough, I will teach you this ancient magic rune combination. way. The same goes for everyone else."

Hermione was heartbroken, but she knew that the professor's attitude towards ancient magic had always been very cautious. In the past year or so, the two of them had only a handful of discussions on ancient magic.

Does this mean that the professor has enough recognition of her learning situation and magic manipulation level?

She began to think: in the first year, she has been learning to translate rune and practical rune, and in the next semester, she came into contact with the rune circuit, and she successfully repaired the damaged beaded bag before the end of the semester;

During the summer vacation, she has been using the rune knife to practice drawing rune and rune circuits;

At the beginning of the new semester, she had already been exposed to the knowledge of rune transformation, and focused more on the understanding of rune itself. She couldn't help but imagine: when the third grade is over, is it possible for her to directly master an ancient magic?

Seeing Hermione's energetic appearance, Felix added: "It's the simplest ancient magic, don't imagine it has any lethality." But this did not dampen her enthusiasm at all.

At the end of the practice, Hermione was unusually tired. She stood up and moved, her eyes swept across the room, the strange feeling was still so obvious, and the more she looked, the more awkward it became.

'Although the professor said it was because of the changes brought about by new insights, it still looked gloomy. ’

She decided to change her mind, stood in the corner of the room and kept looking at it, suddenly her eyes lit up, she picked up a pot of green plants and placed it on the professor's square table full of books, she squinted and smiled.

"It looks so much more pleasing to the eye."
