A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

After some bargaining, Felix purchased three sets of equipment each, and then he took Lupin and the twins through the streets of London, quoted the names of Muggle companies, and bought a batch of miscellaneous things.

Back at the Future World Company in Diagon Alley, Felix piled up these items in the lobby, forming a hill, attracting crowds of onlookers, and the new employees of the company came one after another, not only to see these strange things, but also to see The boss of the company who never showed up.

Felix led them around for a brief meeting.

"I'll be living here for the next period of time, working hard with everyone to make the company's first product," Felix said. "By the way, I'll transform some magical machinery."

Penello reminded him, "Professor Hepp, oh sorry, boss—"

"It doesn't matter, you can still call me Professor, or Hep." Felix said with a smile.

"...Okay, Professor," Penello said nervously, but she quickly entered the state of work, "We need to consider the attitude of the Ministry of Magic, especially the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Objects."

"You mean Arthur Weasley's department?" Felix said pointedly.

Penello blushed and pretended not to hear. "The job of this department is to prohibit the use of magic on Muggle-made things in case they return to Muggle shops or homes."

Felix saw similar concerns on other people's faces, he thought about it, and answered seriously: "This is indeed a question, but I have carefully studied this part of the law, and it has little impact on us, just need to Report the engraving machines to the Ministry of Magic."

"Following this topic, you will find that the entire law is for one purpose, which is to prevent the exposure of the magical world."

"To sum up, there are three main meanings of prohibiting the abuse of Muggle items." Felix glanced around, looked at the people with confused expressions, and said with his fingers, "First, it is forbidden to maliciously cast spells and play tricks on Muggles; Second, it is forbidden to sell enchanted products in the form of Muggle items, especially things unique to them, such as a toaster;" he smiled, "Of course, nothing is absolute, the Ministry of Magic has a list of licenses, and Not all are allowed."

"Third, it is forbidden to modify privately and add other functions. The terms of this type of law are relatively vague. It may be because, if we really want to investigate, many people have contraband in their homes, and they may not even know it themselves. So there's only one thing worth noting—" He took a long note and said softly, "that is, don't use it in front of ordinary people."

The Weasley twins glanced at each other, and Fred snickered, "Dad's mind is well understood." But he knew that his father drafted the law, and he felt a sense of everything in the Muggle world. Curious, for this he left many backdoors for himself.

Before Arthur Weasley, the Ministry of Magic was a blank slate of laws, but with more and more cases of misuse of Muggle objects, the Ministry of Magic finally thought of making a law around it, and Mr. Weasley is here In the background, he formulated the law and served as the head of this department.

Felix continued: "One of our goals is the improvement and transformation of Muggle objects. What does this mean? Not simply copying, but drawing on the wisdom they display, not something specific;"

"For example, the magic lamp, its principle is completely different from the electric lamp used by ordinary people. The only thing in common is that they can all emit light."

Everyone laughed lowly, and their worries dissipated. Most people actually didn't have the courage to openly defy the Ministry of Magic.

"In this process, you will find that we are taking a conceptual thing - a more convenient and practical way of lighting, we don't need to study hard how to use electricity, how to study the materials and principles of electric lights, and It's about thinking about how to use magic to achieve the effect we want."

Felix looked at everyone and said seriously: "I don't want to see everyone's prejudice against the non-magic world in the 'future world'. Any specific person or specific group, as long as it has obvious external characteristics , it will not be liked by everyone. To put it bluntly, some people see the advantages, and some people see the shortcomings..."

"I don't want you to be entangled in these boring things. With an appreciation heart, you will find that in the past few hundred years, the outside world has also achieved remarkable achievements. In the process, they have The wisdom, ideas and results displayed are worth learning from.”

For the next few days, Felix stayed in the vertical castle in the future world. Lupin, Penello and several seventh-grade graduates who had mastered the ancient magic of lighting, completed the magic lamp. Design tasks.

The most difficult thing here is how to store the rune sequence of ancient magic on a specific object. Felix rummaged through the information left by Nick Lemay, and finally found a kind of enchanting material like flowing mercury, They are shaped by magic.

In this process, a lot of attempts were required. For this reason, Snape came to protest, because he disliked the consumption of materials too fast, and was dragged by Felix to join the research.

The basic chandeliers, candlesticks, and lantern-shaped magic lamps were successfully completed. After that, a Ravenclaw graduate witch proposed to use transfiguration to design an eagle shape. When using it, you only need to pronounce specific syllables, eagle. It will flutter its wings, fly into the air, and spit out a bright ball of light.

The idea won unanimous praise from 17 Ravenclaw graduates, and later, more magical lamp forms were proposed, majestic, wake-up lions, jumping around to follow their owners. The badger, and the snake-shaped magic lamp inlaid with green gems also appeared one after another.

Felix added several more dragon shapes and used polymorphism to turn the light emitted into the shape of breath.

The purchased engraving machine also came in handy, Felix never expected to use it so soon, he just made a simple modification, let the employees familiarize with its operation in their spare time, and tried to propose improvements.

But a wizard named "Funk Davey" came up with an idea. When he was playing with the engraving machine, a flash of light flashed. He proposed that he could make a batch of rune cards by imitating the chocolate frog cards. The basic engraving part is handed over to the machine to complete.

Felix was intrigued by the idea, and he further refined it based on it - complete the engraving part with a machine, and then apply a layer of enchanting material to the card, so wizards can hold the card and follow with their fingers The above imprint exercises the corresponding rune.

Felix felt that there would be another teaching aid in his Ancient Rune class this year, and he happily ordered a batch, allowing the company to have its first business.

Soon, the first set of a total of 100 rune cards was finalized. It can be seen as a simplified version of Hermione's use of a rune knife to carve rune on the chestnut board. It refers to only one angle, which is the stability of magic power. . Once successful, the magic symbol corresponding to the rune will be displayed, such as a waterfall and a flame. Of course, this is just a phantom of magic.

The twins came up with a prank version, where once the magic was interrupted, the card would screech piercingly and taunt the wizard who used it loudly.

"This is the inspiration that life gives us." Fred said with emotion.

Felix was afraid that the little wizards would be autistic collectively and did not use them. He paid more attention to the auxiliary role of rune cards in learning Rune, but the twins were not tired of it. They also tried to add a few fake cards to a stack of real cards. , if you try to inject magic, the card will transform into a litter of mice, scurrying around.

"We can give it to Harry as a birthday present," said George, grinning.

...

The morning of July 31st.

When Harry opened the gift, he was a little confused. Professor Hepp and the Weasley twins gave the exact same gift, a stack of cards, and even the instructions were the same.

But the Weasley twins' instruction booklet drew a quirky smiley face that made him a little flustered.

He curiously followed the instructions of the manual, tried to trace on the card with his fingers, and injected magic power. At the moment of success, a lush green wand tree phantom jumped out of the card, swaying gently, and issued a "rustle" sound.

Harry stared at it for a while, and tried different cards with great interest, and he got to know a lot of strange runes. However, he finally discovered the difference between the two gifts.

After a failed attempt, the card made a "bang", purple smoke exploded, and the card turned into five or six fat mice, running around in the narrow gaps of the house, startling him, he tried Kicked these little guys out from under the bed and they squeaked even more.

When he heard Uncle Fernon's snoring, he didn't try to be aggressive, and waited quietly for a while, and the fat mice ran out on their own, gathered together, and after a cloud of purple smoke, they reverted to a card.

Harry opened other gifts. Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid gave him three super big cakes, which made Dudley's weight loss plan completely irrelevant to him. In fact, except for breakfast, he usually sneaked in. In the house Sirius rented, he stayed there until evening.

In addition to satisfying the desire for family affection, Harry discovered a benefit that he had not thought of before, that is, he could cast spells outside of school. Next door to Mrs. Figg, Harry had access to Sirius's spare wand - he revealed that the wand he had snatched from the Dark Wizard was not going well, so he went to Ollivander to get a new one.

And the dragon heartstring wand was used by Harry. In fact, he was not used to it, and always felt that it was not as easy to use as his own wand, but he was satisfied with being able to cast spells. He and Sirius practice their duel in the house under the strong spell, which was supposed to be just one afternoon, when Sirius and Harry slumped on the sofa, protesting a boring TV show, and Sirius was unexpectedly keen on the game.

He taught Harry a lot of dueling skills, but he soon discovered that Harry had developed his own fighting style, a little immature, but it did exist. And Harry's level is high, which makes the duel game between them closer to the real battle.

Sirius called out Harry's father's name more than once, which made Harry both sad and moved.

There was an episode in the middle of this, the Ministry of Magic sent him a letter warning him of the fact that spells were being cast outside of school, and then Sirius sent back a roaring letter, and then the Ministry of Magic didn't follow up.

Harry was a little apprehensive at first, and Sirius explained: "This law is for Muggle-born students to prevent them from exposing themselves to Muggles, but do you think they will control those wizarding children?"

Harry was happily persuaded, and he wrote it into the letter, Hermione wrote back that she also wanted to learn from Sirius, and sent him a roaring letter, Harry smiled particularly brightly, but when he Seeing the back of the letter, when Hermione mentioned that he was researching curses, he couldn't smile.

...

In the bedroom, Harry opened Sirius's gift box. It was the size of a slap and square, and when he touched the lid, there was a sound inside. Harry froze for a moment, not worried about the curse, but worried about the strange gift that Sirius sent him.

Harry had long discovered that his godfather was not as mature as he was in some respects. For example, he doesn't cook his own meals, and uses housework magic badly. If it wasn't for Kreacher, he reckons Sirius would have moved into the Dursleys and fought them that day.

He carefully opened the lid, and a golden, round thing flew out. Harry instinctively reached out to catch it, his heart thumping, and through the gap between his fingertips, he saw a beautiful sparkling golden Snitch, Harry's eyes lit up, and this gift was too much to his liking.

There is also a note in the box-

'Dear Harry

I've been wanting to give you this for a long time, I found it from Felix's office and it only had one wing intact, I asked Felix to fix it and make some interesting changes, but You find out for yourself that it doesn't make sense to tell all the secrets.

In addition, when I was in school, James used to steal the Golden Snitch from the team for a while, pretending to be cool to attract Lily's attention, I strongly recommend you try it.

Your godfather, Sirius. ’

Harry grinned, he let go of his clenched hands, and the Snitch slowly stretched his wings and disappeared with a "whoosh" sound. He glanced from side to side, quickly catching its trail, grabbing it firmly as it flew past Harry's left ear.

Harry shook it vigorously, and the Snitch calmed down and stopped obediently in his hand. He seemed to hear a small and trivial sound, put the Golden Snitch to his ear, and shook it gently, this time the sound was more pronounced.

Harry pressed the Snitch's surface, its metal shell suddenly opened, Harry noticed something was stuffed inside, he tilted the opening towards the bed, "Crash!"

A pile of various treats was scattered on the bed and rolled all over the place—chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, ginger salamander cookies, dragon milk cheese, and the Honeydukes candy spree.

"Wow," Harry exclaimed.
