A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

At the end of the banquet, Felix got up with his own firecracker hat and was about to leave. He saw that Hermione did not go with his companions, but stayed alone.

"Anything, Miss Granger?" He thought Hermione was looking for him.

"Oh, Professor," she hesitated, "I have something to talk to Professor McGonagall."

"Is that so..." Felix nodded. "Then I'll go first. By the way, I like the music box you gave. It doesn't seem to be a pure alchemy product?"

Hermione's worried expression faded, and she said happily, "I brought it here from home, and used the original mechanical structure to re-cast the spell. For the music part, I used the snake language scroll, and the rune circuit that stores the sound is very useful... …”

Felix knew that after the Chamber of Secrets incident last year, Harry still spent a few days to complete the pronunciation of Parseltongue. After finishing, Felix converted the corresponding syllables into books and kept them in the Thinking Room.

There was a time when he did see Hermione mulling over the scroll alone, and asked him for some crafting tips...

Back in the office, he took the time to return a few more letters, one of which was a formal one that caught his attention.

"It turned out to be a letter from the Ministry of Magic."

Felix looked at the sign on the letter and guessed what the content would be. Could it be his own memory therapy paper? But he only sent it yesterday, when did the Ministry of Magic respond so quickly.

Opening the letter, he first glanced at the signature at the bottom, which was Walsh Sidrick of the 'Office of the Minister's Advisor to the Ministry of Magic', and then he read the text.

'Dear Mr. Hepp: Some of my colleagues have noticed that your new book 'Magic in the Muggle World' has been recommended by the Ministry of Magic in twelve countries, plus your two previous publications on Muggle The melon research monograph shows that you have a very deep understanding of the Muggle world, and we invite you to give an internal speech to the Ministry of Magic...

...

The time is tentatively scheduled for the first Thursday after the Christmas holiday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, in the second parlor. If you have any objection, or the time arrangement is inconvenient, please contact me in time.

you are faithful

Walsh Sidrick, Office of the Minister's Advisor to the Ministry of Magic. ’

Below is a long list of departments to whom he will speak, if he accepts them, including: Muggle Issues Mediation Committee, Muggle Liaison Office, Division for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Substances, Reversing Occasional Magic Events Team , Memory Logout Command, and interested groups.

"It's reasonable. They are departments that often deal with ordinary people."

Felix thought for a moment, he was still willing to promote his ideas, and he also wanted to know more about the actual situation of the Ministry of Magic. Among the people who have dealt with so far, Fudge is a standard politician, and Umbridge is also the same. Not to mention more, the disgusting degree is even three points, but Kingsley Shacklebolt is calm and capable.

Some of the remaining people either did not know each other, or only communicated through letters, unable to form an accurate judgment.

He took out a piece of parchment, took up a pen, and wrote: Dear Mr. Cedric, I accept your invitation with great pleasure, but I wish to move it to Friday, when I have no class that afternoon...

After the letter was sent, all that was left was to wait. In the last few days of the vacation, he did not soak in the library or study the magic creation in the office, but developed a new habit.

There will always be a few rune symbols on his hand, only the size of his little finger, and he will pick it up and play with it for a while from time to time, even eating and sleeping as much as possible.

At this stage, simply increasing the number of runes has little effect. The ancient runes he has learned from many ancient books and alchemy items actually do not have a deep understanding.

He decided to take the time to sort out what he had learned. If he could complete a book of runes, it would definitely be more effective than mastering hundreds of new practical runes.

He also visited a few ancient rune experts—his friends in the field were pitifully rare, and even the most accessible of them, Tofudi, had limited knowledge of the subject.

From Felix's point of view, he might as well pretend to be an alchemist and get involved in the alchemy circle. Before Nick Lemay introduced him to a few people, he also wrote a few letters to express the idea of ​​communication, but it gradually faded away, because the focus of the two sides was completely different, and it always felt awkward to communicate.

Alchemists pay more attention to the selection, ratio of alchemy materials, and the fusion of different properties. A rare recipe may sell for sky-high prices, or become a secret that is not passed down. They also focus on so-called alchemical formulas, especially how unique functions are achieved.

Felix exchanged some knowledge with them and then kept the communication on a lower frequency.

He wasn't in a hurry either. He didn't have a suitable circle. He set up one himself: Eight or nine of the students who graduated last year still kept in touch with him by letter. Among them, the girl surnamed Vera had the most positive attitude.

She has become a Gringotts spellbreaker, a rather dangerous and serious profession, where they may be killed by ancient curses, poisons or curses, but are paid accordingly. Very rich.

Clémy Vera wrote to him that she was currently working in Egypt, where there are a large number of ancient tombs and historical sites, and her colleagues are friendly.

She even discovered an application scenario for Practical Rune - many ancient defenses and traps are inseparable from alchemy, and Practical Rune has better magical performance than other alchemical symbols and can carry more magic power. Therefore, it is often chosen by ancient wizards as the core of the entire defense and counterattack system.

In a recent operation, Vera accidentally discovered that a practical rune was hidden on the decorative pattern in the pothole. She used this to avoid a sinister curse, and she successfully turned positive.

Felix is ​​not stingy to give pointers. He pointed out in his reply that for some alchemy traps that are not very aggressive but difficult to crack for a while, you can try to connect a magic loop to draw out the magic power and let it run out quickly. energy.

...

On the other hand, Harry, Ron and Hermione were not idle either. Since Hagrid wrote to Professor Keitelborn asking for help, they would go to Hagrid's cabin every day to see how things were going.

There is something to do, which also reduces Harry's resentment towards Hermione from the side. He knows that Hermione is well-intentioned, but the Firebolt that he just got was taken away by Professor McGonagall and used to check for possible black magic and curses. And he has to endure the old Comet series, which has to make him feel full of grievances.

It wasn't until the start of school that Hagrid finally received a reply.

"Come on, Hagrid, read on!" Harry said impatiently.

Hagrid tore open the letter and cleared his throat. "Hagrid, it's great to hear from you, sympathy for what happened to Buckbeak, but there's nothing I can do, I really don't have any connections at the Ministry of Magic, and you can't count on one. What kind of popularity is a bad old man who has been in school 62 times and only got a reward before retiring, unless you want to meet a troll friend or two-"

The trio of Harry had odd expressions, regretting that Professor Kettleburn was not helping, and laughing at his witty self-deprecation, trying to hold back a laugh, Ron's eyebrows. To fly to the forehead.

"Then how do we—"

"Don't worry, there's more to come," Hagrid said. "I'll keep on reading—but I recommend you a man who has enough prestige in the realm of magical creatures, and happens to be very fond of hippogriffs. Interested, supposedly influenced by his mother. I'm attaching the address, you can write to him soon, and I'll write a letter explaining the situation. Your faithful, Sylvanus Kettleborn." Hagrid finished reading the letter and looked up at them.

"Who? Who is he recommending?" Hermione asked in a hoarse voice. She had recently caught a cold.

Hagrid lowered his head again, looked at the bottom of the letter, and read out a name, "Newt Scamander."

The third is more likely to be after twelve o'clock, or it may not be finished, and it may be moved to the next day. You don't have to wait.
