A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 172 The Looking Glass Joke
Under the light, Felix looked carefully at the looking glass on the table, which looked like a spinning top, spinning slowly.

As the most commonly used warning device for wizards, if there are suspicious people around, it will light up and rotate at high speed, and some special looking glasses will emit harsh sirens.

In fact, Felix is ​​no stranger to this kind of alchemical creation. In the first book he read when he returned to Hogwarts - "Quest for Ancient Alchemy", he introduced seven ways to make looking glasses.

As a kind of detector, there are detailed methods for making looking glasses for black magic, lies, and even specific groups of people.

At this moment, what puzzled him was whether this pocket looking glass was a small gift from Nicolas, or did it contain some deep meaning?
"Am I going to take this thing apart?"

He fiddled with the top, which was spinning slowly, his mind was full of questions:
Nick Flamel obviously knew him, and said that he had read his book on the recommendation of a friend. Who was that friend?

Dumbledore?Or some old antique?
Did you only read your own Muggle research works, or did you read the "Exploration of Ancient Runes" together?
Did he find himself by chance or by necessity?Is it a disguised investigation?

Felix believes that if Nick Flamel has the idea of ​​looking for a descendant, he still meets the requirements. Alchemy creations are deeply connected with rune creations, and as the most famous alchemist, Nick Flamel can definitely understand this connect.

Even, Felix suspects that the number of practical ancient runes he has mastered may far exceed his own.

Thinking of this, he felt itchy.

But Nick Flamel just left, didn't even say his name, just left him a looking glass, what the hell does that mean?
Could it be that the looking glass glowed when the two were chatting?

Felix: "..."

After some hesitation, he finally made up his mind.half an hour later—

He looked at the parts on the table in a daze, there was no reserved magic, no hidden note, nothing.

'Did I guess wrong?Is that an ordinary old wizard with bad legs? '

He now has only one way to verify it. If the old wizard is Nick Flamel, someone must know something.

In the evening, Felix blocked Dumbledore who came out of the auditorium. He looked a little tired.

Felix asked: "Principal Dumbledore, is there any progress in the discussion?"

"You can almost think that such a thing doesn't exist."

The two walked down the steps and came to the yard, looking at the stars in the sky.Dumbledore said: "I have heard all kinds of complaints and excuses for half a day, and there are too few people who can really take responsibility."

Felix didn't quite understand: "Where is the problem? It stands to reason that the demands of the Reform Society are very clear. It is nothing more than a question of whether to amend the law or not. If it is to be changed, which articles should be amended and to what extent? There should be no progress at all."

Dumbledore said patiently: "You think too simply, Felix. Everyone's demands are different, and the things to discuss are also different. Whether the law should be amended, whether the innovation society should be punished, the Magical Congress of America Do you want to pay compensation..."

"Even Fudge wrote letters from thousands of miles away, implying that I was helping the French Ministry of Magic and asking for greater benefits."

Felix said in amazement: "What's his business? He can't get a copper Knut."

"With you and Caredy," Dumbledore said wisely: "Besides, money has never been the most important thing. Since records began, there has been almost zero official communication between the American and European magic circles. They hope to break The current state of the American wizarding world."

"How to do it?"

"From a small point of view, exchanging students, or co-organizing large-scale events; from a large point of view, it is to radiate influence outside the country and obtain various conveniences..."

Felix shook his head, this is really not what he could think of.

"I am more optimistic about the student named Yuria." He said instead.

"Ah, he has courage indeed," said Dumbledore. "I will try to get a pardon for him."

Felix hooked his lips.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Principal Dumbledore, I seem to have seen Nick Flamel today..."

Dumbledore looked back at him, his eyes very calm. "I mentioned you to him. In recent months, his attention to you has increased significantly."

"Then why is he paying attention to me?" Felix's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"I think," Dumbledore blinked and smiled, "maybe to exchange some alchemy knowledge with you."

"Really? But he didn't leave any contact information."

"Of course, Nick rarely goes out and spends most of his time in his safe house. Few people can contact him." Dumbledore took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Felix: " This is what he left for you, and you can communicate through Nick's photo."

Felix took it, and it was empty.

"He's not here at the moment," Dumbledore explained.

At the end of the conversation, Felix couldn't help asking: "Dumbledore, do you know what you mean by giving someone a looking glass?"

Dumbledore couldn't help but said, "Perhaps, maybe it's just that this is the only thing in his pocket that he can give away?"

Felix returned to the room with a dark face. He glanced at the speculum part on the table and couldn't help but want to cast a shatter spell on it.

"I'm not!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a looking glass some other day, so you can guess what I'm thinking."

"Huh? That's a good idea, looking glass... This is a typical magical creation with a very low limit and a high limit. There are a lot of shoddy garbage on the market, but even Gringotts can't Wouldn't refuse to use a high-end looking glass."

"The looking glass and the magic puppet are similar in some respects, and can be used as a supplement to the course, or the teaching content of the rune club."

Felix's thinking began to diverge. When the new school year started, in addition to the normal classes, he also had the Dueling Club and the Rune Club in his hands, and he felt that there were more things all of a sudden.

"I should take another professor's resident dueling class. Usually it's just me and Severus, and there will be a lot of pressure after the school starts."

"Who should I invite?"

"Flitwick? McGonagall? Or, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? I don't know Dumbledore's candidate yet."

Early the next morning, Felix bid farewell to the crowd.It was also the first time for him to meet the chairman of the Magical Congress of America and the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic. The French Minister of Magic also hinted that he could be recommended to join the "Medal of Valor" sequence, but he declined.

Felix apparated away directly.

When Hagrid's cabin appeared in the distance, he felt the long-lost peace and joy.
