A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 158 School Year Ends
Before he knew it, Felix finished reading the entire content.

"Professor?" Hermione looked over.

She interrupted the screen show and turned to discuss some questions about the thesis.

"I read in the book, "The Wand and the Wizard" repeatedly mentioned a point of view, 'the wand is alive', how should this sentence be understood?"

"Well... I don't have a deep research on this aspect, so I can only talk about it in general."

"Of course." Hermione blinked and said lightly.

"Each wand is unique. Even if they are made of the same material and the same size, they will perform differently in different hands."

"Because of the owner of the wand?" Hermione guessed.

"Yes, I personally believe that the wand in the shop is only a half-finished product, which is desperately longing for its own wholeness."

Hermione stared up at Felix, a new perspective.

Felix explained: "The characteristics of the wood of the wand and the characteristics of the magical creature from which the core comes from give the wand an extremely rich variety, but there is another characteristic that cannot be ignored - that is the owner of the wand himself."

"Rather than saying that the wand is alive, I prefer to believe that the combination of the three characteristics of the wand body, wand core, and owner makes the wand complete and exert its true power."

"So, this is the theoretical support for 'the wand chooses a wizard'? In order to complete itself, when the body and core of the wand are both fixed, it is more willing to choose an ideal owner that suits it?" Hermione followed his train of thought. Said.

"It's a family story," said Felix modestly, and then added—

"Moreover, for young wizards, obtaining a suitable wand is only the first step. The wand and its owner will work together to learn from each other and promote each other in the days to come, so as to continuously cultivate this tacit understanding."

"We can understand that the experience of each wand is different."

"But, Professor, I've heard that some wands betray their masters?" Hermione asked cautiously.

Felix's expression became serious, "This kind of situation is relatively rare. Even a wand with a bad reputation and perverseness will not be separated from its master just because of one or two failures. This level..."

"But there must be such a situation, isn't it?" Hermione pressed.

"Indeed. I think the reasons are various: some have a poor relationship between the master and the wand; some are naturally sensitive and worship the strong; some are because 'failure' has too much influence on the master, deepening the rift."

"However, as far as the core material alone is concerned, the unicorn hair is indeed more loyal, while the dragon heartstrings appear to be too active, and they may 'temporarily' succumb to a powerful enemy."

"temporary?"

"For example, if this kind of wand is forcibly taken away by the enemy, if you recover it in time, it can still be used as usual."

"This, this..." The little witch said with some surprise.

"Miss Granger, what we're discussing is too far from your world." Felix ended the topic.

In fact, Felix believes that the conditions for changing hands of wands are extremely strict, including at least one "failure to defeat in a malicious confrontation", which is the conclusion he has drawn from some dark wizards.

That's how Felix got those spare wands.

But even so, these magic wands can only be used as a temporary response at best-it is not his own magic wand, after all, there will be various restrictions on casting spells.

And from the example of Ron and Neville, there may also be a situation of 'willing transfer', but he has not personally experienced it.

"Granger, let's discuss your modification of the beaded pouch. I thought you'd finish it next school year."

……

Felix's new book is also on the agenda. In order to expand his influence, he chose to complete two books at the same time - one is for young preparation wizards, mainly with a large number of moving pictures, supplemented by vivid and interesting stories plot.

One is a popular science subject for adult wizards, using the most rigorous logic and words to explain the most basic low-level technology in the Muggle world.

After completing part of the manuscript, Felix had the illusion of explaining addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to the mentally retarded, which made him want to give up for a while.

However, some of the readers he selected gave good feedback-

Belby looked at the manuscript. The first picture was a boiling kettle with hot steam gushing from the spout; the second picture was a pipe coming out of the kettle, and the steam flowed through the pipe to a windmill at the other end; the third picture This picture shows a windmill spinning rapidly under the drive of steam.

The next picture is a hand-painted version, which looks more abstract: a huge kettle is mounted on a train, which is connected to the wheels through pipes to make the train move...

In order to make the whole process more straightforward, Felix deliberately marked the color of the steam to be very conspicuous. It looks like a train carrying a kettle monster with teeth and claws on its back, constantly spraying venom.

"This is the steam engine that Muggles talk about? They use this to drive the train?" Belby said excitedly, "You know a lot, Felix!"

Three days before the end of the school year, Felix received an invitation letter signed by the "International Confederation of Wizards"-this is an organization similar to the United Nations, except that its members are all ministries of magic.

"How did they find me?"

Felix opened the letter and raised his head after a while, "It turns out that an organization affiliated with the International Federation of Wizards invited me to Paris for a meeting, the Muggle Research Group? Tsk tsk, I haven't heard of it at all, it can't be newly established in recent years, right? ..."

From the relatively formulaic rhetoric in the invitation letter, Felix could tell that the research team adopted the strategy of casting a wide net and catching more fish. Maybe some well-known experts on Muggle issues would be invited.

The next day, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Bubaji, and the feedback he got was as he expected, and she also received the invitation.

"You too?" Bubbaji stared at him with wide eyes, "Oh, of course you have the qualifications. I mean, you are too young, I didn't think of it before."

"Professor Bubaji, do you know the origin of this so-called research group?"

"I do know a little bit," Bubaji said. "It seems to be an issue led by the United States Department of Magic, dealing with crises or something. It's a cliché, you know, they have always been sensitive to Muggle issues."

Felix nodded thoughtfully.

Then the two agreed to meet in Paris, and they left separately.

He also wanted to see how 'experts' in other countries viewed the Muggle issue.

In the next two days, Felix dealt with various chores: assigning holiday homework to the little wizard, seeing off Belby's safe departure with other professors, applying to Dumbledore to stay in school, attending the school dinner...

In front of the station, the little wizards happily boarded the train, while Felix watched silently from the corner.

The most conspicuous is the tall figure of Marcus Flint, who has been avoiding himself since the exam;

The second is Keremy Vera, who wears wide glasses. She found Felix immediately after the exam, hoping to maintain correspondence after graduation and accept his ancient rune guidance;
Several other graduates expressed similar wishes, and Felix did not refuse.

In addition, the little wizards who left an impression on him this year appeared one by one:

albert balck, percy, penello, jeffrey, pat selton, warren pardis, twins, cedric, harry potter, ron weasley , Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood...

He also saw a somewhat depressed Draco Malfoy, Felix was silent in his heart, he already knew that Lucius had struggled several times, but he was still kicked out of the school board, and his son was inevitably affected.

Felix watched the Hogwarts Express roar away.

When the shadow of the train disappeared from sight, he turned and left the platform.
