A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 120 Punishment (available on the 31st)
"Is it a two-way mirror?" Felix asked with interest.

"No, Felix, I don't think so," Flitwick mused.

Professor McGonagall expressed his guess: "Maybe it is a magic newspaper?"

"Newspaper?" Felix looked at her. It had never occurred to him.

"Yes, I remember that the "Daily Prophet" has a similar technology. If the news changes, the content of the newspaper will also change," Professor McGonagall added, "This situation is rare now, and they are more Willing to move it to the evening paper of the day."

She recalled, "During the war years, the Ministry of Magic used the Daily Prophet to issue several urgent notices..."

Felix was a little surprised. In his impression, the "Daily Prophet" did not follow journalistic integrity very much. They might be more concerned about the sales of the newspaper.

Hence the division between the daily and evening papers, and the weekend edition of the Sunday Prophet.

The opinion of the "Daily Prophet" is generally in favor of the Ministry of Magic, so... this is the basis for cooperation laid a long time ago?

"Did they use sync magic too?" He wanted more information.

"I don't think so - the newspaper may have used a variety of transformation spells. This is their exclusive technology, which is not seen in other newspapers." Professor McGonagall replied.

Felix thought, so to speak, it is indeed somewhat similar to his answer parchment, and even more perfect-their newspapers cover the whole of Britain.

Except for the lack of interaction.

"No." Flitwick said inexplicably, "Strange, I shouldn't forget...".

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, and she stammered and interrupted him: "Could it be that person's mark, Felius?"

"Oh, my God, of course not!" Flitwick's voice sharpened.

Felix listened quietly. Did they mean the Dark Mark?

He hadn't studied it, but in his impression, it was a kind of magical contract with a pattern, which had the function of positioning and summoning. Maybe Voldemort also added his personal understanding?
Belby, who was silent on the side, suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I have seen similar things in the Muggle world..."

"Yes, this is it!"

Flitwick was inspired by Belby's words, and he said with a start: "I remembered, I heard it from Professor Bubbaji."

Caredy Bubbaji?

Professor of Muggle Studies?
Felix recalled that he had not met the professor several times, and she seemed to live off-campus all year round.

"Caredy showed me the picture, it's square, I don't remember its name." Flitwick looked at Belby, hoping to get a response——

"Oh, I remember it was called a mobile phone?" Belby said. "I saw someone using it at the Muggle Opera House, and I asked him about it. I said I was from the country."

He grinned at Felix, which was mentioned in Felix's book 'How to deal with Muggles'.

Flitwick gave Belby an affirmative look, "That's it~ a mobile...phone? It's said that Muggles can carry on conversations across thousands of miles. Caredy complained to me that her paper was simply ignored, and they thought It's the Arabian Nights—it's all old stuff."

Professor McGonagall didn't know much about Muggle items. She asked suspiciously: "Is the Muggle world already so developed? How do they solve the problem of long-distance communication?"

At this moment, Flitwick and Belby were speechless, their knowledge of the matter was very limited.

Felix exhaled softly.

He knew what kind of book to write this year - an introduction to technology in the Muggle world.However, what happened to Professor Bubaji gave him a very good counterexample. If it is something beyond the imagination of the wizards at the beginning, I am afraid that it will not be able to cause any splash.

The two books he wrote before introduced the development history of ordinary people and their way of thinking respectively, which are things that wizards can understand, and he deliberately arranged a large number of examples of communication scenes, which have relatively high practicability— —It is convenient for some public officials to follow the map and deal with ordinary people.

It is for this reason that his books have received professional recognition.

It is also convenient for him to include some private opinions that he really wants to say...

How should he organize the structure of the new book?Felix thought.

'It has to be simple, clear and self-explanatory.Don't be afraid of less, be afraid of more. '

Some simple mechanical parts, some prototypes of energy utilization, and even simple and repeatable physical experiments...

He suddenly remembered that when talking about Lockhart with Miss Granger, he mentioned that he admired Lockhart's way of incorporating knowledge into the story, "Maybe I will imitate it in the future!" He said to his assistant at the time explain.

Now it seems that I can write a fairy tale of "The Adventures of the Wizard Kid"?

"Felix?" Flitwick looked at him.

"Just thought of something interesting," Felix said.

He put the matter of visiting Professor Bubbaji on the agenda.

As for the improvement of the answering parchment, he still has a lot of little wizards' brains that he hasn't come up with. In addition, double-sided mirrors, magic newspapers, the Dark Mark, and mobile phones, these things can bring him inspiration and ideas.

Halfway through, several professors finalized the cooperation plan, Belby was a little regretful, he was not good at this aspect at all.

After the dinner, the little wizards left in twos and threes, tacitly, and some wizards and wizards quietly disappeared from the large group, looking for a secluded place for a date.

'I don't know how many couples Filch will catch tonight? ’ Felix was spinning wild thoughts.

Back in the office, he flipped through today's "Evening Prophet", and the news on the front page caught his attention——

'Gideroy Lockhart faces seven years in prison as fans write letter slamming Ministry of Magic. '

This intrigued Felix, and the newspaper mentioned that Lockhart deeply regretted his actions and offered to heal and compensate those who had been harmed—hoping to get away with it.

He also took out a full [-] Galleons and donated them to various prestigious magic organizations.Still, the Wizengamot sentenced him to seven years—a significantly lighter sentence, from Felix's point of view.

Besides, the dementors that ordinary wizards are afraid of are not so scary to memory masters.

But for Lockhart, losing his dazzling aura and future is the most terrible punishment, right?
But this is not the most outrageous news today, in the corner, he found a piece of inconspicuous news——

Rita Skeeter, the former editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, faced charges of concealing Animagus for a long time and illegally obtaining other people's secrets for personal gain. However, recently, the Ministry of Magic suddenly revoked all charges and sentenced her to Two thousand Galleons.It is reported that more than one high-level Ministry of Magic said that there is no direct evidence to prove that Rita Skeeter is guilty...'

Felix suddenly smiled: "Rita, Rita..." He really opened his eyes.

Gilderoy Lockhart and Rita Skeeter, who are somewhat similar, both became famous wizards and witches through illegal means.

Lockhart even received a badge of honour, the third class of the Order of Merlin.

Even so, when the crime came to light, they ended up very differently—Lockhart received a reduced sentence but remained in prison; Skeeter's sentence was less painful.

Felix's light blue eyes reflected the night scene of Hogwarts in the night, and he was very curious at the moment: "How many secrets do you know about the big man, Rita Skeeter?"

A series of controversial names of high-ranking Ministry of Magic officials flashed through his mind——

Cornelius Fudge, Barty Crouch, Ludo Bagman, Dolores Umbridge, Pierce Thicknesses…
