A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 116 Invitation

Belby looked at him puzzled, are you going to let me remake it?
"Let's sit down somewhere and talk, how about the three broomsticks in Hogsmeade?" Felix suggested.

"No problem." Belby said a few words to his brother, and walked over quickly.

Snape had already left, so the two of them used Apparition to go directly to the door of the Three Broomsticks tavern.

"It's a great experience, Felix, I don't even feel uncomfortable." Belby said with admiration: "I usually don't use it on my own, unless I have to..."

Felix and Belby walked into the tavern. Today was the weekend, and there were young wizards from Hogwarts sitting in twos and threes, especially lovers. They were also surprised to see Professor Haip and a stranger walk in.

"That's Professor Haipu's friend?" Keremy Vera thought in her heart, and the girl next to her stared at the two curiously.

Felix chose a corner seat, and Mrs. Rosmerta came over to take down what they ordered, and within a minute, it was delivered.

"A glass of low-alcohol mead."

"A glass of pear and limoncello."

She twisted away.

Felix knocked on the table, and the surrounding voices suddenly weakened.

"Felix, is this?"

"It's best not to let the little wizards know about the conversation between us." Felix pointed to the not far away, and several little wizards looked around curiously, and he even saw a few familiar faces.

Next, Felix introduced to him what happened to him in his previous Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"It turns out that... I didn't pay much attention to it," Belby said.

"There is something I must remind you about the rumors that this class is cursed..." Felix concealed the existence of Voldemort, and used a powerful wizard to refer to the source of the curse.

"Hmm..." Belby hesitated. "According to what you said, I only need to teach for half a year, so the curse won't affect me?"

"Judging from the experience of the past few decades, this is indeed the case. Most of the wizards who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts are still alive and well, except for a few—"

"But they all have their own reasons. Damocles, you are an excellent wizard, and the substitute time is shorter. The danger is almost negligible."

Felix said sincerely: "Hogwarts has the largest collection of books in the world, I think it will be of great use to you at this stage."

He suggested it because he was a friend, he knew how obsessed Damocles was with potions, and how rich Hogwarts' library was.

In a way, they are the same kind of people, both climbing the mountain of magic.

Belby's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "It's true... I have spent more than ten years researching chamaejasma potion, and what bothers me the most is the lack of similar research materials."

Potion masters are a group of nerdy wizards, and they have less time to socialize. This is related to the nature of potions—a potion needs to be brewed for a month or two. If you want to make improvements, you must at least brew it Hundreds of trials.

His mind came alive, and he might be able to recharge himself in half a year - he also learned the word 'recharge' from the Muggle world.

What's more, there is a potion master in Hogwarts who can communicate;
Add to that the double allure of the Forbidden Forest and Mrs. Sprout's Conservatory...

"If I agree to teach, what advice do you have, Felix?" asked Belby, already feeling his heart.

Felix thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you prepare a few magical defense items—I can provide them to you, no, no, there is no need to be nervous, I am just used to actively responding to problems." He looked at Belby's expression and added said a word.

"Secondly, when you communicate with Dumbledore, you can ask him to learn more about this course, especially those wizards who have served as professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts—how is their current situation? You can even visit some of them people."

"Finally, prepare lessons in advance, the level of Hogwarts wizards may be beyond your expectations."

Belby smiled: "I also graduated from Hogwarts, Felix, I understand my level at that time."

……

On the same day, Felix told Dumbledore about it.

"So, we will welcome an excellent professor soon?" Dumbledore's face showed a surprised expression, "To be honest, I'm just about to send out the recruitment advertisement."

"Principal Dumbledore, Belby is just a little emotional, and you need to communicate with him in detail, and I will not participate in this aspect. But—he is one of the few friends who can talk, I hope you can guarantee his Safety."

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at Felix, and he smiled gently, "Of course."

For the next few days, Felix paid little attention to the matter.He attended classes, answered questions, and studied magic step by step.

This rhythmic life made him blur the sense of time.

A week passed quickly.

On a sunny afternoon, the snow in the castle began to melt, and the eaves were dripping with snow water.

The Weasley twins blocked him at the end of class.

The two laughed and took out two coins, and Felix took them. He couldn't help but suspect that they had scrapped the "Fenat" for fun.

But to his surprise, the coin was intact and there was something extra.

Felix stroked the brass Knut in his hand, and looked at the twins, who returned their sly glances.

"Is this to test me?"

He felt the magic contained in it. After more than ten seconds, he pinched one of the coins and injected magic power into it. The other copper nut quickly became hot, and the surface became uneven.

Felix looked carefully, and several abbreviations appeared on this frighteningly hot coin. He tried to think about it, and found that the most suitable sentence was——

'Filch is here, get out! '

Felix: "...Is this your night tour prop?"

"Uh, Professor Hemp," said Fred, "don't you think this is a good emergency item—it should be used when the Aurors raid the magic black market, such as filling holes in the defense line or something."

"Or a code is passed between lovers, and the words on it are filled in casually." George said.

Ha ha.

Felix would not believe it. They first developed this thing for the convenience of night travel.

And, what black market of magic... I think you're implicating me.

But—their thinking is very broad, just like the two situations they mentioned, there is really a certain feasibility.

"Then why did you come to see me?" he asked.

"Professor Haipu, we have encountered some difficulties—for example, the words on the coins are fixed, and we cannot change them."

"The coin itself is too small to write anything on."

"Yeah, we hope to be able to develop gadgets for two-way communication, similar to two-way mirrors, of course—"

"-lower cost!"

"—Easier to make!"

They looked at Professor Haipu eagerly, hoping that Professor Haipu could answer their puzzles.

In the past few years, some prank props were researched by the twins themselves, but many ideas could not be realized and could only be shelved.

Fortunately, Professor Haipu promised that they could ask him for help at any time.

When the twins finished speaking, Felix fell into deep thought and stood motionless.

After a few minutes—

The two looked at each other, and Fred said somewhat cautiously: "You just need to give us a little hint..."

　A reader pointed out that Belby's name is Damocles Belby, and I missed a word at the time...

　　Now change it back together.
