A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 142 Small gathering
Three brooms.

Mrs. Rosmerta sent two glasses of mead, "The best oak-aged mead, low alcohol, you will like it."

"Thank you, ma'am."

She nodded with a smile and turned to greet other guests.

Belby looked at the environment in the tavern. Apart from the young wizards in twos and threes, there were seven or eight adult wizards talking in low voices.

"I feel like it does a lot better business here than the Hog's Head," he said.

"The Hog's Head pub focuses on hard liquor, and little wizards don't go there very often," Felix said, "and the owner's attractiveness and indoor environment are very different."

Belby glanced at the graceful Mrs. Rosmerta, and then thought about the wrinkles on the owner's face and the dirty glasses of the owner of the Pig's Head Bar, especially the dirty and decaying atmosphere in the bar...

"Well, you're right. I wouldn't go without any necessary reason."

Felix lowered his head and took a sip of mead. The taste was excellent. The sweetness of honey and the fragrance of oak permeated between his lips and teeth. He could hardly feel the taste of alcohol, but when the wine slid down his throat, he could clearly feel a A continuous wave of heat surged into his heart, making his whole body warm.

"How does it feel to be back at school, Damocles, for almost a month?"

"It's easy, I feel young again," Belby said with a smile, "Sometimes, though, I really want to crack open some students' little brains to see if they're stuffed with babo tuber pus ?”

Felix looked at him speechlessly, as expected of you, potion master, the metaphor is so fresh and refined.

The babo tuber is an extremely ugly plant, and its ichor is no exception, a viscous yellow-green liquid with a pungent petroleum smell.

However, he can’t be blamed for being mean. The challenge that Belby encountered from a self-taught scumbag surpassed Felix in all aspects—because Defense Against the Dark Arts is a compulsory course. Before the sixth grade, every little wizard All must participate.

As we all know, the teaching quality of this course has always been worrying.

Felix said, "There's always some good students out there, aren't there?"

"That's true," Belby reflected on himself, "I've been teaching a little too fast, you know, in order to make up for the previous shortcomings. Take the second grade as an example, they didn't even see low-dangerous magical creatures After a few, let alone how to deal with the little jinx."

"Is this the potion you brewed for?"

"That's right, I collected a list of the little curses they have mastered, and made a special topic to teach them how to deal with these spells."

"Sounds great, Damocles, you have a gift for teaching."

"No, Felix, your 'answer parchment' helped me a lot."

Felix looked at him puzzled.

Belby explained: "I converted the information I found into test questions, put them on the answer parchment, and urged them to complete them after class, which was counted as part of the homework."

Is this... online homework?
The answer parchment of the general subject version has been launched for a while, and each professor has obtained a dragon skin scroll, which can modify and add the questions of the corresponding subject - Felix has opened up this part of the authority.

But most professors obviously pay more attention to students in grades [-] and [-]. They have moved all the topics of OWLs and NEWTs exams in recent years. As for other grades, they may only give the key areas and corresponding reference chapters.

No one seems to be aware of this use of parchment yet...

Felix looked at him, and Belby said with some embarrassment: "Although I only plan to substitute for half a year, I also hope to make good grades. To be honest, I don't want to let the little wizards tell the new professor that I How bad."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be a better defense against the dark arts professor than you in the past ten years." Felix said with experience. He met most of the defense against the dark arts professors in the past ten years when he was in school. The few people below, as far as he knows, have a fairly mediocre reputation.

Not to mention the last two years, a dark wizard, a liar.

At the end of this small gathering, Belby talked about his latest teaching plan, "In addition to the topic of minor curses, I also want to do a topic on creatures in the Forbidden Forest, which also has many dangerous magical creatures."

He also officially extended an invitation to Felix to explore the Forbidden Forest together.

Seeing his faltering tone, Felix knew in his heart that he was afraid of being affected by the curse, and wanted to find a partner who could take care of each other in times of danger, so that they would not be isolated and helpless due to accidents.

Like meeting a Tebo warthog?
Felix agreed after thinking for a moment, and he was also going to explore the Forbidden Forest in an all-round way, and pick up some magic materials by the way.

Every time he saw the snake-tooth carving knife, he always felt that it was mocking him.

Felix was determined to change the unicorn dagger that Hagrid had given him into a rune carving knife.

Back at school, the two separated.

On the way back to the office, Felix saw a few young wizards with obvious awe and gratitude on their expressions, which made Felix a little confused.

Rumors about Peeves got out?Could it be another outrageous rumor?
Until the third wave of little wizards he met, they all had similar eyes. Felix couldn't hold back his curiosity, and stopped one of them: "Finley, what happened in the castle recently?"

Justin Fenriely looked at him adoringly, "Professor Haip, it's about Peeves."

Felix thought to himself, that is indeed the case, it is not a rumor that I killed Peeves, right?
"Be specific," he said gently.

Justin said a little excitedly: "Several Slytherin students said that you couldn't understand Peeves' pranks and taught him a lesson with magic."

So far so good, Felix thought.

"please continue."

"...Everyone noticed that Peeves has become weird. He seems to be imitating the speech of different students, and he is still stupid."

No problem getting here.

"And then?" He wondered at what step the messaging went wrong.

"Then, Ron's twin brother discovered something strange about Peeves, and they made a big fan, fanning Peeves around the castle for exhibition."

Felix: "...very creative idea, did they get into any trouble?"

"Does it count as attracting a large number of ghosts?"

"ghost?"

"Yeah, they were applauding, especially a pudgy ghost with big glasses, and she couldn't have been happier," said Justin Fenriely.

Moaning Myrtle?Felix guessed.

"Where are they now?" He planned to go and have a look.

"Oh, it was originally in the courtyard—they were going to hold an impromptu party, and then they were taken away by Professor McGonagall."

"She looked very upset," Justin added.
