A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 157 Interesting Research

There were more young wizards around the yard, and they looked at the group of examiners from a distance with awe-inspiring eyes.

Several seventh graders immediately exclaimed when they saw the wrinkled faces of March class.

"She's here again!"

"Pretty much the same people."

"Honestly, every time I come here, I'll be watched as a troll." Tofudi muttered.

Felix smiled and said, "These people are anxious to see their norns."

"I am not the goddess of fate, we are wizards."

It was bound to be a long day, especially for the fifth and seventh graders, but Felix had done what was necessary, and the rest was up to them.

At 09:30 the next morning, the wizarding exams officially began.

The spacious auditorium was converted into an examination hall for students to take theoretical examinations; several small rooms beside the auditorium were sorted out as classrooms for practical examinations.

Theory in the morning and practice in the afternoon, the whole process lasts for two weeks.

Felix glanced at it while teaching other grades. The entire auditorium was quiet, except for the sound of the quill pen rubbing against the parchment, and the only sound was the gravel falling from the hourglass.He turned and went to teach the little wizards of the sixth grade.

Felix strode into the classroom with a stack of parchments in his arms.

"Today we announce the final grades."

The academic masters headed by Percy, Penello, and Jeffrey didn't dare to breathe, as if they were waiting for their fate.

"A total of 33 test papers, 12 excellent, 17 good, and 4 qualified." Felix read out the overall results: "Congratulations!" He handed out the test papers.

The male and female wizards in the audience applauded violently and whispered to each other, beaming.

"Of course, I have to say one more thing—"

The students fell silent and looked at Professor Haipu on the stage.

"This score is excluding the part of the practice bonus. If you count these extra points... I think I need to correct it: 15 excellent, 18 good."

On their test paper, a new line of handwriting appeared, which was an extra point for the practical part, and it was about the application assessment of the 'practical runes'.The evaluation grade on the test paper will also be changed accordingly.

The wizards and wizards were overjoyed, and there was a loud roar of celebration in the classroom.

"We will explain the test papers in this class, and the practical class will continue in the next class."

……

With two grades missing, Felix has a lot of free time, and he spends all of this time in the library.

Until the weekend morning, he saw his assistant.

She is writing a thesis.

"Which professor is so inhumane? Homework is left after the end of the semester..." Felix looked at the busy figure and guessed in his heart.

With less than two weeks to go until the end of the school year, professors are generally free of assignments for the younger classes.

In the evening, he solved the puzzle.

The little witch excitedly said to him: "Professor, didn't you suggest that I look up the relationship between wands and wizards? You also recommended me a book called "Wizards and Wands"?"

"Indeed it is," Felix replied.

"I skimmed through it before and thought it was very interesting, in fact, I was fascinated by it. Until the end of the final exam, I finally had enough time."

Hermione said to him: "I want to write a paper on it, not for publication - just for fun."

Felix asked with interest: "Have you finished writing?"

"It's just part of it. A lot of it is the material I copied, and I haven't formed a complete thinking yet." She took out a stack of parchment from her schoolbag and handed it to Felix. "There are my scribbles and comments on it, as well as scattered thoughts and so on. It may be messy..."

"It's ok."

"You can do something else first, like watch a movie," said Felix, picking up the 'half paper' and reading it.

Hermione on the side skillfully turned on the small projector, rummaged through the small box, and picked out the favorite film.

After a moment of hesitation between "Wuthering Heights" and "Tom and Jerry", Hermione finally decided to watch something light, the former was too heavy for her.

Felix put on earplugs for himself and read it slowly. He soon discovered that this was indeed a paper for entertainment, which contained the wand data of some friends around the little witch.

Like Harry Potter's wand - eleven inches, holly wood, phoenix feather, soft and flexible.

The note given by the little witch is: 'Holly wood, a rare wand material, is generally believed to have defensive properties, representing endurance and durability, and also symbolizing death and rebirth, suitable for people who need to overcome irritability and emotional impulsiveness. '

'Phoenix feathers, hard to tame. '

She draws two lines on 'overcoming irritability and impulsivity';
'However, holly wands are also often chosen for wizards who have experienced danger together and have strong spiritual pursuits, and their specific performance will match the core material. '

'Wands of holly wood and phoenix feather are extremely difficult to make, and their different characteristics will cause great conflicts.But once this combination is formed, nothing can block its way. '

Hermione underlined the last sentence and put a question mark, maybe because she didn't agree with it, or maybe she had doubts.

It also contained Ron Weasley's wand - fourteen inches, willow, unicorn hair.

The little witch's note reads: Willow, an equally rare material, possesses healing powers (?) and is suitable for casting silent spells.

Unicorn Fur: Strongly averse to the dark arts, very loyal, and usually best suited to its first owner.

She underlined 'very loyal', 'best fit with first owner' and next to that she wrote in fine print, 'Fit with Ron and Neville, Ron's old wand came from brother Charlie, Neville His old wand, inherited from his father, was made of unicorn hair. '

Seeing this, Felix was a little surprised. Besides Ron Weasley, anyone else uses the old wand these days?

Or did they come from two famous wizarding families?
What did their parents think?

The surname of Longbottom is not an ordinary character. Although he is not a representative of pure blood, he has also produced many outstanding wizards, and their reputation has always been good.

There is also a description of Hermione's own wand in the paper: fourteen inches, vine wood, and a dragon heartstring core.

Here's a slightly scribbled note: 'Vinewood wands are often chosen for visionary wizards of noble purpose, who often do things that shock their friends who think they know them. '

Felix smiled lightly. It seemed that when Miss Granger wrote this sentence, she was not in a very calm mood.

He then flipped through the pages, which contained both examples from her classmates and entries copied from the book Wizards and Wands.

Somewhat surprisedly, he also saw Hermione's guess about her wand: Professor Hype, between twelve and fourteen inches, ebony wood, with an unknown core, possibly phoenix feathers or dragon heartstrings.

Next to it is a very small two-letter abbreviation. Felix deduces that it should mean black magic. She has read some books on black magic in the thinking cabin, so did she rule out the option of unicorn hair?
'Ebony is impressive in its appearance, and ebony wands are well suited for offensive magic and transfiguration, and will choose those who have the courage to be themselves, not conforming to the crowd, mavericks, or immersed in the outsider's state.Their owners tend to ignore external pressures and stand firm in their beliefs. '

She is heavily marked on 'ignoring external pressure, firm in faith'.

　This chapter cites some reference materials, but I personally feel that it is quite important, with the nature of prophecy and interpretation.

　　It can also be regarded as popular science for readers who have not read the original work.
