A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 119 Valentine's Day (available on the 31st)
Felix stared at the green snake skin in front of him, thinking about the production method.

"First of all, we need to deal with impurities. This step can refer to the operation of the binding vine. However, the characteristics of the Basilisk and Whomping Willow branches are completely different..."

……

Valentine's Day on February 2.

When the little wizards got up early and went to the auditorium for dinner, they found that the four walls were covered with big and dazzling pink flowers, and many heart-shaped confetti kept falling from the light blue ceiling. down.

Even the usual hallways are adorned with wreaths of holly and mistletoe.

Many young wizards and witches giggled silly as they ate.

It’s a day when professors turn a blind eye and don’t mind their own business—but don’t expect them to smile at you either.

"I think Percy must be so sour seeing this." Ron said, pointing to a few couples holding hands in the distance - he and Percy had reconciled, but he always couldn't help mocking him habitually.

But none of this concerned them, Harry, Ron, and Hermione ate breakfast and hurried off to class.

The time comes to evening.

They dragged their tired bodies to the auditorium, and the long table was already full of many young wizards.

As expected, they saw dwarves dressed up as little Cupids, but they were standing on a temporary high platform in a well-behaved manner, playing the harp with a gloomy face—it wasn’t ugly, at least no one escaped impulse.

The two smallest looking dwarfs seem to have not yet mastered this skill. They stood two or three meters away from the door in the auditorium, and took out handfuls of colored debris from their back pockets. Any two or more When the little wizards in the company pass by them together, they will all be smashed.

Harry and the others saw Dean and Neville, who were walking ahead, bathed in the rain of colored debris. Neville stood there awkwardly, and Dean let out an unintelligible grunt and quickly ran away.

A burst of laughter erupted from the long table.

Neville scratched his head and smiled too, a rosy tinge appeared on Yuanyuan's face.

Harry, Ron and Hermione hurried around the wall to avoid the pair of dwarves.

Soon, groups who didn't know the truth were recruited one by one. If it was a young couple, they would smile generously, which is not considered embarrassing, but if they were pure friends, the expressions on their faces were enough to make the little wizards on the side laugh first half day.

In the teacher's seat.

Looking at this lively scene, Belby said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that Valentine's Day is also celebrated at Hogwarts now? You know, I was hiding at that time."

"Probably to welcome you," said Felix.

"Stop joking, Felix." The middle-aged wizard said, he turned his head and looked around: "Why didn't you see Professor Snape?"

"He won't like the scene and may be late."

"Yes, he looks quite serious." Belby said: "The last time we met was too short, we didn't talk in detail, and some of his thoughts are very insightful..."

"Is it about wolfbane potion?"

"That's right, he seems to have an idea to improve Wolfbane Potion. I hope we can cooperate, and I am willing to provide the initial research information."

"Haven't you thought of inviting others before?" Felix asked curiously.

"I've thought about it, but .

"Slughorn?" It wasn't the first time Felix had heard the name.

"Yeah, he used to be my Potions Professor, but now he's retired, and his whereabouts are erratic, so it's hard to contact him."

After ten minutes, all the professors arrived one after another.

Professor Flitwick took the vacant seat next to Felix, and Professor McGonagall sat next to Flitwick.

Snape took a seat at a distance.

Just when Harry was very bored listening to the dwarf playing the same song for the seventh time, the dinner party finally started.

Dumbledore tapped his glass to silence the little wizard, and he introduced their new professor to the crowd with a broad smile.

"It is my honor to introduce to you, Damocles Belby, who has graciously agreed to fill the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the second half of this year."

The young wizards applauded sparingly, the previous professors had exhausted their enthusiasm.

Belby stood up and bowed to everyone, "It's an honor to return to Hogwarts after so many years. Although I will only stay here for half a year, I will do my best to fulfill my duties... "

Belby's words were very sincere, his appearance and clothes were not as dazzling as Lockhart's, and he wanted to attract everyone's attention, which directly won the limited favor of the little wizards.

The most intuitive evidence is that when he sat down, the applause of the little wizards was orderly and louder.

Snape, who was sitting on the side, stared coldly at the goblet in front of him with a straight face.

The other professors were all welcoming. Although it didn't make sense that Belby, who won the Medal of Merlin for inventing the wolfsbane potion, came to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, but at least he had real talents.

Better than Lockhart who's been strutting around pajama parties all the time.

All kinds of delicacies appeared on the long table, and the little wizards who were tired all day began to feast.

Professor Flitwick, sitting next to Felix, was talking quietly to him.

"Felix, I heard you are using a new type of teaching aid in your classes?"

"That's right, Felius, I call it answer parchment."

Professor McGonagall, who was a distance away, calmly slowed down the speed of chewing food.

"Don't mind me saying this - I've seen it from students and I've found it to be very useful for charm theory as well."

"Are you trying to use the Answer Parchment in Charms?"

Flitwick hemmed and said, "There are not a few months left until the wizarding exams, but the theoretical results of some young wizards are still worrying."

He looked at Felix: "If you need my help..."

Felix smiled lightly: "Felius, I have no opinion on this. However, I did encounter some difficulties - if more disciplines are to be added, they must be improved on the original basis. I can't solve it alone, I want to invite you to study with me."

"I'd love to," Flitwick said briskly.

Professor McGonagall found the right time to answer and said, "I can help too."

Felix said: "Minerva, I have envisioned adding all Hogwarts subjects, but it would take a prestigious professor to make it happen."

Professor McGonagall thought for a while, "I will try to understand other people's thoughts, which is a good thing. But how do you integrate so many disciplines on a piece of parchment?"

"Using synchronization magic," he explained, "the parchment in the hands of the little wizard is just a simple magic product for receiving information. The runes and alchemy methods arranged on it are relatively simple. I also have a scroll made of dragon skin, which stores The wizarding grade examination questions in recent years."

"However, this also caused little wizards to only use answering parchment at Hogwarts."

"Well, one-to-many..." Flitwick pondered, "I seem to have heard someone say this kind of thinking."
