A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

"Clowns, warriors, lions, firebirds...what do they mean?" Ms. Burns asked tentatively. If the first two sentences opened the curtain of the era, then the last four sentences are obviously important roles on the stage. She actually had some guesses in her heart, and she wanted to get confirmation from Dumbledore and Felix at this moment.

"Before it really happens, all we can get is conjecture." Dumbledore shook his head slightly.

"However, some things - such as Firebird Nirvana, don't they refer to Phoenix? Or someone related to Phoenix?" Ms. Burns said, looking at Dumbledore unabashedly.

As we all know, the headmaster of Hogwarts has a phoenix named 'Fox'.

"That's one of the drawbacks of prophecy," Dumbledore said, smiling, "when you try to find the 'truth', you're already deep in it - I can think of a dozen wizards related to 'firebird', If you count foreign countries, there are even more. It may represent some kind of magical animal, such as a phoenix; or some magic, such as a unique Patronus, Transfiguration; it can even represent a state, a kind of quality... What we're guessing at the moment is what we expect to see."

...

As time passed, Felix took the time to go to the Ancient Rune Society, led by Kremy, and they came to the office of the president of the Ancient Rune Society without any hindrance—in fact, it was an independent study room. It is full of various stone tablets, manuscripts and ancient texts.

Felix saw the old Vera at a glance, he was lying in front of the table, there was a row of rune cards on the table, and he was muttering words.

Cremy coughed twice, but the people at the table didn't respond.

Clemie had to walk over, tapped her fingers on the table, and reminded: "Grandfather, Professor Hepu is here..."

"Who's here?" Old Vera raised his head and glanced at her blankly, his attention seemed to remain on the table, "Forget it, don't worry about that, let me see how to understand here first?" He waited After a few seconds, he didn't get a response, so he looked up casually, and when he met Felix's eyes, his eyes suddenly widened.

"I heard from Cremy that you have time recently, so you came here suddenly." Felix said with a smile, "I read a few books you wrote recently, and I have some questions, and I want to discuss it with you. …”

Facts have proved that no matter how stubborn a person is, when someone takes the initiative to hand out a ladder, he will also half-push and half-slip down.

At least old Vera is such a person. He has already compromised, and he doesn't care about being embarrassed again.

At the beginning Felix asked a few questions symbolically, which happened to be the pride of the old Vera. He began to talk at length and eloquently, but within ten minutes, he became Felix pulling Felix 's hand asked a question about the rune card.

"I want to make up an order according to the level of difficulty as a reference for learning." Old Vera said.

Felix was a little surprised to hear that, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about the textbook.

"Don't think I'm studying theoretical runes, but they all have something in common," the old Vera reluctantly 'quoted' Felix's definition, explaining: "If I want to, learn dozens of them a day. Practical rune is not a problem at all, it's just a matter of adjusting your writing and cognitive habits."

Felix understood, this was a trick. As the old Vera said, there are indeed overlapping parts between the two-both theoretical rune and practical rune, which must be learned quickly, but the rest will take a lot of time.

According to this line of thinking, the old antiques in the Ancient Rune Association who have studied theoretical Rune for a lifetime can actually master hundreds of Rune at random, and the follow-up learning will not be too slow.

Of course, there are not so many practical runes on the market for them to learn. It's all in Felix's hands.

"Mr. Vera, I have one thing to ask you." Felix said, "This year's Hogwarts Ancient Runes class will undergo a curriculum reform, divided into a theoretical part and a practical part, and the two parts will be tested separately. Theory. Parts are fine, but the practical parts need to be redesigned—I think what you're doing now helps a lot."

"You mean to let me participate? Are you willing to give up this part of the rights?" Old Vera looked quite surprised.

"The decision is definitely still in my hands," Felix said calmly.

The ancient rune has developed to the present, and he is no longer his own, and there is no need for it at all. He only needs to focus on the most important places and make no mistakes, and it is enough not to let the development direction deviate from expectations.

...

Before the start of school, there was finally good news in the sword castle. Anti-thief waterfall is complete.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as Gringotts?" Sirius looked at the products in the laboratory.

In front of him was an arch, with straight sides, no different from a normal door frame, except that there was an extra half arc on the top, and a thin layer of water curtain hung down from the arc. Sirius and Ms. Burns were in front of each other. After that, he looked at the other party's hazy figure through the water curtain.

"The principle has changed, and I have incorporated some Rune circuits to replace the part of fairy magic," Felix said. "The effect is similar, if you don't believe it, you can try it."

"What should I do, does anyone have a compound decoction on them?" Sirius looked at the others with searching eyes. Everyone shook their heads. He looked at Felix again, but Felix looked at him with a smile on his face. he.

Sirius was a little stunned for a while, what does this mean. But he suddenly woke up.

"Animagus?"

Felix nodded at him, yes, exactly what you think.

Sirius did not refuse, and his body quickly turned into a big dog covered in black fur. Its fur is smooth and smooth, and its body is huge, like a bear.

Sirius in the form of Animagus looked a little excited, called out to the surroundings twice, wagged his tail, and circled around Harry who came with him, looking very happy.

Ms. Burns' thick eyebrows twitched violently. She had to clear her throat - by this time the big black dog had put its front paws on Harry's shoulders. "Oh, Sirius, Miss Burns seems to be calling you," Harry said with some effort, nearly knocking him over.

The big black dog circled the arch twice, and then got in from one side, the water curtain on the arch rippled in circles, and Harry suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

The same is true. That thin layer of water curtain seems to have another secret. Half of the big black dog's head disappeared from one side, but did not appear on the other side. It was completely unaware of all this, and walked forward on its own. When only two hind legs were left, the other side of the arch showed half of its head, as if the body of Sirius was taken by someone. Take a walk, it looks very funny.

Harry shrugged his shoulders and suppressed his laughter, and the rest of the people present, including Ms. Burns, raised their mouths.

But in the next second, the burlesque turned into a terrifying one. The big black dog's head began to shrink and deform, and the black hair quickly faded, followed by his shoulders, arms and various parts of his body, and he returned to human form.

Sirius shook his head, as if he couldn't figure out where he was, and it took a few seconds for him to wake up.

"It's amazing." He was amazed, and circled around the arch. The appearance was no different from when he was deformed before. He put one hand into the water curtain, and then pulled it out again. This time, the water curtain had no obvious reaction. .

There was a round of neat applause in the laboratory.

...

A week before school starts, Felix gets his new wand. Thirteen inches, ebony, with core from a hair of his own. When the finger touched the wand, the fingertip suddenly became hot, the wand vibrated slightly, seemed to be jumping, cheering, and couldn't wait for his first spell-

Felix held his wand and slashed the air like a long sword - Ollivander watched intently - the 'crack' seemed to connect to another place and quickly expanded, sucking in the surroundings. The little wand shop seemed to shift its place all at once, appearing in a barren, overgrown field.

Everything seemed so real, the dim light, the swaying bushes, the whimpering, and Mr. Ollivander smelled the fresh earth that had been carried by the wind. He tried to take two steps forward, but bumped into something. things, but there is clearly nothing there.

"Illusion? No, more real than an illusion..."

He plucked a handful of weeds from the ground and watched as it turned into bits and pieces in his hands.

In the next second, the whole vision disappeared and they were back in the wand shop. Felix nodded with satisfaction. Although the specific effect has yet to be verified, the magic of the Thinking Cabin has made obvious progress, and he can more easily make the memory in his head appear in reality, "It's much better than I expected. Now, Mr. Ollivander, thank you, you're the best wandmaster I've ever met."

"You match the wand yourself," Mr. Ollivander said with a wry smile. "Even if you change the person or the material, it won't have this effect."

After that, Felix paid enough.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you," said Mr. Ollivander. "Thanks to you for reminding me, I have discovered two sneaky people."

"A Death Eater?"

"Maybe," Mr. Ollivander himself was not sure, "those people are hiding their heads and tails. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic has sent warning signs to every store, and just click on the Aurors patrolling the street and they will quickly rush. Come on, they didn't have time to do anything."

...

"Remus, it's nice to meet you, I thought you forgot about us." Sirius hugged Lupin and pretended to complain.

"He may not have forgotten you, but he must have forgotten my boss." Felix said quietly beside him.

"Cough-cough-" Lupin turned his head guiltily.

"What the hell is going on?" Sirius asked, as they sat in the living room of Black's old house, waiting for everyone to come to the meeting.

"Encountered a closed and xenophobic community," Lupin explained. "It's not wise to risk contact with the outside world under the nose of a group of neurotic werewolves. I stayed until the end of the matter." He had a worried expression on his face. "One or two times I almost thought I wasn't coming back."

Sirius said nothing, just slapped him on the back twice.

Kingsley and Emmeline Vance came, and Emmeline's recovery was warmly welcomed, the taciturn witch smiling all the time.

Soon, Snape also appeared. Everyone entered the meeting room one after another. "Don't expect to eavesdrop, I'll do magic," Mrs Weasley warned the children.

"Say like it's your first time doing it," Fred muttered. The door slammed shut in front of him.

In the conference room-

Snape was the first to speak.

"The next thing I read is a top-secret document. At the request of Headmaster Dumbledore, it is not allowed to be mentioned publicly under any circumstances, and is not allowed to be disclosed to non-members of the Order of the Phoenix." He deliberately glanced at Sirius, Sirius. "Cut".

"According to reliable information, the Dark Lord - The Man of Mystery," Snape said with a blank expression, "has a strong interest in something in the Department of Mysteries, and is searching for it with all his might..."

"After the Thief Falls?" interrupted Sirius.

"...you'll find that that thing doesn't stop him," Snape said lightly.

"I know what he's capable of, I've fought him before—"

"You mean run away?"

Snape and Sirius were almost pin-pointed to Maimang, causing everyone else a headache.

"Okay, we can put the greeting after the meeting," Kingsley said.

"...In view of the failure to control Broderick Bird the Silent using the Imperius Curse for the first time, he may send Death Eaters to collect intelligence - he has a shortcoming in this area, and has worked in the Department of Mysteries. Death Eater August Rookwood is locked up in Azkaban again..."

"...Anti-thief waterfall is not omnipotent. It can't detect people's hearts. Whether it is willing, forced, or unintentionally revealing secrets, it can't detect it, and it can't warn you..."

Snape finished, then leaned back in his chair and said nothing.

"Cough, then I'll continue with this topic," Kingsley said calmly: "We have already prepared for this, that kind of thing is subjected to complex protection magic, and the silent person who can come into contact with it in normal ways will be strictly controlled. Restrictions, but there may be loopholes in the after-hours period, and Dumbledore persuaded Ms. Burns to let the Order of the Phoenix take on the protection task, because the reason was to avoid leaks."

Not everyone in the Order of the Phoenix was aware of Voldemort's goals, so when they talked about the Prophecy Ball they used 'something like that'.

"I don't have much to say here," Sirius said. "We are somewhat relieved that we have Anti-thief Falls. Amelia has decided to set up one in Azkaban, and the time is tentatively scheduled for the day after tomorrow..." He The tone of his voice suddenly became complicated. If there was this thing a few years earlier, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Snape raised his head, his eyes twinkling strangely. He said softly, "Azkaban? Are you there too? Yeah, I don't think you'll miss it, you made a lot of friends there..."

The meeting room almost turned into a gladiatorial arena.

...

After the meeting, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who had no mission stayed to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea, and Snape and Professor McGonagall each had their own business to leave. Felix stared at Snape's disappearing figure and asked Mr. Weasley, "Has he been so busy?"

"Probably, he doesn't stay too much on weekdays," muttered Mr. Weasley. They came to the living room and sat down. After a while, Mrs. Weasley and Tonks showed up with plates of dessert. "Watch the last step," reminded Mrs. Weasley.

"Oh, alright," Tonks said, before slamming his head against the umbrella stand and the plate out of his hand.

Felix moved his fingers and let the plate fall on the table.

"Thanks, I always forget there's something here," Tonks said distressedly.

"Actually that umbrella stand was moved here from the hall only two days ago," Ginny said oddly behind her, "because you always bump into it when you come back from get off work..."

Angrily, Tonks covered Ginny's mouth, and she ran away screaming.

"Where are Frank and Alice?" asked Felix, who hadn't been here for a while.

"They've traveled far, and they're supposed to go to the giant's land," said Mr. Weasley.

On the other side, Bill was chatting with Sirius and Lupin.

"The goblins are pissed, you know, because of Thief Falls," Bill said of the information he'd found in the office.

"A lame excuse, they don't want to support either of us," Sirius said.

"If you've ever dealt with them, you'll find that goblins have a different concept than ordinary people, and to be precise, different from wizards." Bill shrugged and said, "They're really angry that wizards have stolen their technology... ...but you're right, they really didn't intend to be on our side..."

"Sirius, when are you going to leave the Ministry?" Lupin asked. What he asked was not when Sirius was off work at the Ministry of Magic, but when he would withdraw. According to the plan, Sirius would become a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts in the new school year.

"It's the day before school starts." Sirius said hesitantly.

"You won't let it go, will you?" Bill said with a smile.

"Ha, what a joke, I wish I had left sooner."
