A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

"Effective potion requires the participation of the wand, of course, it is not a silly, uninterrupted waving of the wand, but just a flick at a critical moment is enough to cause a wonderful change in the materials in the cauldron..."

"So Muggles don't get to experience this wonderful process, and so does Squibs," Snape said slowly.

On the weekend of the first week of school, Professor Flitwick hosted an afternoon tea party under the pretext of celebrating Professor Moody's recovery, although Felix didn't think the tough-minded ex-Auror needed those things. .

Moody ate what he brought to himself, without touching the fine tea on the table.

When he appeared here, it meant the end of Snape's one-week substitute career. So when Felix asked about the potion, Snape seemed nonchalant.

Snape sat on the soft chair and slowly said the topic just now: "We also do not rule out the following situation: some simple potions can be spontaneous without the participation of a magic wand or even the fine guidance of magic power. To produce an effect, but that is more similar to inspiring the properties of the potion material, and in the eyes of those who really understand potions, it is just a half-finished product."

Felix knew that the pet tonic formula he gave to Filch was like this - no magic wand was needed, the main material was dragon blood, and as for those accessories, it only played the role of stimulating and relaxing the characteristics of dragon blood.

For wizards, some potions have similar effects as spells, and the choice of which one to use is related to the wizards themselves. In other words, they will choose the easiest or most effective method among potions and spells to achieve their goals.

Perhaps money is also an important consideration.

For example, the Happy Charm and the Delight Potion can be replaced in most cases. The Happy Charm is the content of the third grade spell teaching, and the Happy Potion is only available in the sixth grade Advanced Potions Enhancement class, but if you neglect it in school This seemingly trivial lesson in magic spells, and it is not easy to learn happiness spells through self-study, especially the lame happiness spells will have side effects such as hysteria and laughing.

In this case, most wizards will choose to go to the pharmacy to buy a euphoria.

Flitwick waved his wand, bent an enamel teapot, and filled the cup in front of him. "I've heard that some wizards use magical rituals instead of wands when brewing potions, Severus?"

"There are also repeated spells..." Snape said, "This usually happened in the Middle Ages, some shallow wizards couldn't control their own magic, and naturally couldn't guide and control them finely - no different from Squibs. , so they choose this way."

Felix murmured, "I think I've seen a similar statement somewhere."

"I guess it's a Muggle fairy tale? There are indeed some wizards who are not cautious enough. After they are found, they are burned to death." Snape glanced at him and said.

"That's a long time ago, and we'd better talk about something else," said Professor McGonagall uneasily, turning to the side. "Professor Moody, are you going back to class next Monday?"

"It's dragged on long enough," Moody said, biting into a bland-looking piece of chicken, "I planned to take care of all my troubles over the holidays and not miss class, but Professor Hepp insisted on completing the final round of inspections... …”

"Has your memory been restored yet?" Professor McGonagall asked him, but his eyes were fixed on Felix.

"Voldemort's methods are very crude, and Professor Moody has lost more memories than I initially estimated, maybe because Voldemort's soul is also infused with black magic?" Felix said softly.

"At least I haven't become an idiot, have I?" said Moody gruffly, with a short laugh, reaching for the cup on the table with his oily hand, the moment his fingertips touched the cup, he was like It stopped like an electric shock.

Moody silently took off the jug from his waist and took a gulp. After drinking, he dressed in rough clothes and said, "I lost the original one. This one is brand new. Albus gave it to me... He is very considerate about these things."

'Actually, it still has an impact,' Felix thought to himself, 'not only is it a memory problem, but also his reaction will slow down, and his combat effectiveness will not be as good as before. ’

What he did during this time was to eliminate the adverse effects as much as possible.

Moody ripped off a piece of chicken through gritted teeth and chewed it, the skin on his face shaking. He said nonchalantly: "Compared with old Barty, I am already good. His body is broken, and it is estimated that he will not survive in Azkaban for a few years."

"Barty Crouch was locked in?" Flitwick asked sharply.

Several people looked over, and Moody grumbled, "Yeah, Kingsley told me he insisted on doing it. Before being taken to prison, Barty and Fudge had a private chat—" Seeing the others With a strange look, he waved his hand rudely, almost hitting Flitwick in the nose. "Oh - sorry, Professor Flitwick - don't ask me, I don't know what they said, maybe it has something to do with Voldemort?"

"As for whether Fudge will believe it, no one knows." He took another gulp and said, "That person looks indecisive, but he is actually quite paranoid and wishful thinking. But anyway, he doesn't seem to want to cause too much panic, Putting down the Barty thing, many people thought he was retired!"

He grinned and smiled sarcastically.

"I can't listen to him. Some things must be reminded everyone. It's better than knowing nothing when it comes-"

"Professor Moody," Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "you, uh, don't you want to do something to the little wizard? Some previous practices..." She hurriedly cleared her throat, looking embarrassed.

"You mean what I did before 'me'? Some of the classes I didn't take, but they did fit my heart—" Moody gave another short laugh, his expression contorted. "He imitated it. , I taught him for a while, maybe that's part of the reason."

The others stared blankly at Moody.

Moody laughed and said, "Sr. Barty wants to train his son to be an Auror. So Crouch Jr. has been training with those candidates since the fourth grade - longer than the average Auror training, wait until When he graduated, he was way ahead."

"I remember him taking twelve certificates," recalls Flitwick. "Since I've been teaching, only a handful of people have received this honor."

"I'm not talking about the results on paper, it's the collective evaluation of the Aurors! I also taught him some things - the detection and trapping part, when everyone thought that little Crouch would become a Excellent Auror, take his father's class!" Moody exclaimed.

All were slightly unwell. The better Barty Crouch Jr did during his school days, the more contrasted it became with the changes behind him - instead of becoming an Auror, he chose to become a Death Eater.

Flitwick changed the subject and said: "Felix, I like the gift you gave me, I have seen it. I have to say that some African gestures are very good and can be used as auxiliary methods. I am ready to add them next year. in the teaching content.”

Felix smiled and said, "I asked several friends to recommend my book list..."

Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Vagado's teaching method is very different from Hogwarts, where students determine their research direction at a very early stage, so they can take apart a lot of advanced content and open it up. It is integrated into the teaching of the lower grades, but not at Hogwarts, and only a small number of students actually choose Transfiguration in the sixth grade."

"What about the body shapeshifting part? Maybe in your shapeshifting club?" Felix suggested.

"It's really a good approach," Professor McGonagall said. "My club is only for sixth and seventh graders who have gone through the O.W.Ls and learned a lot of skills naturally, like you mentioned 'pre-requisites' Knowledge'?"

She uttered a tongue-in-cheek word and continued, "However, there is not much knowledge about deformation of Vagadu outside, and deformation of African elephants is very common, but if the congenital conditions are not enough, it may only become a malnourished animal. The baby elephant. From this point of view, it is not as good as Animagus..."

Felix said with approval: "Animagus has a certain randomness after all, and it is related to the psychological state of each wizard. If it becomes a snail, it is better to choose an African elephant."

Professor McGonagall looked at him sternly: "Felix, you haven't studied Animagus privately, have you?"

"How is it possible," Felix curled his lips, "If you are a wizard who is interested in studying Transfiguration, you can also experience the mysteries of Transfiguration in transformation, but I'm not... I think the cost-effectiveness of this magic is too low."

There is another chapter under revision, and it is estimated that it will be released before one point.
