A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 194 News from the Rune Club
The next two days were uneventful. On Thursday morning, in the ancient rune class of the fourth grade, Felix also revealed the news of the rune club to the students.

As soon as get out of class was over, he was surrounded by many students.

"Professor, when will the Rune Club hold an event?" A witch with golden-red curly hair said, holding her friend's arm, and asked happily.

Felix said gently: "Miss Aikemo, the news will be announced next Monday, including the way of recruiting new ones."

"Can you reveal it in advance, just a little?" Marietta Ackmore begged, and the students around couldn't help but give her admiring glances.

"One of the ways is through the public examination, that's all I can say," Felix said.

"Do you still need an assessment? Oh, but other clubs are all through invitation!" Marietta chirped.

Eddie Camille refuted her and said, "I think it's good. After all, it's the first time recruiting people."

Eddie was put in confinement by Professor McGonagall for selling inferior medicine last school year. At that time, Felix wanted to get Ron out of Lockhart, so he asked Professor McGonagall for the little one who was recently confinement. wizard.

He is one of nine people.

Together with Hermione who joined midway, a total of ten people completed the initial test on the 'answer parchment'.

Felix explained: "There are a few people who will be directly invited by me. I have observed them this year and I think they are suitable candidates. But time is limited after all, and I can't get to know all of you..."

The little wizards around dispersed one after another, and Marietta asked, holding her friend's hand, "Qiu, what kind of assessment do you think will be?"

Qiu Zhang joked, "It doesn't have to be an assessment, maybe you will receive an invitation."

"I'm self-aware~ My grades in this class are only average, and that Camille is more hopeful." Marietta said pessimistically, but she quickly looked at her seriously, "Maybe you can get an invitation. "

Qiu Zhang stroked her hair, "We can't put our hopes on this, we should make some preparations in advance." She blinked at her friend, "The professor has revealed a lot of information."

"Have you?" Marietta looked at her in bewilderment.

"The professor said that there will be a public assessment. After combining what he said, it took a year of observation to find a few suitable candidates... What did you think of?"

"I thought of...uh, there are two ways to recruit new people?"

Qiu Zhang stared, Marietta said with a sneer, "You also know that I'm not as smart as you, and I'm in a daze all day long."

"You are too lazy to use your brain!" Qiu Zhang said angrily, and then she explained: "The assessment standard must not be the results of ancient runes, otherwise there is no need to waste time. In addition, this professor has done it for more than a year. All kinds of things, magic puppets, answering parchment, and this year's looking glass... all illustrate one thing."

"what?"

"He values ​​practical ancient runes more!"

Marietta finally came to her senses, "It makes sense, but we didn't learn many practical runes..."

"So I guess, there are two possibilities!" Qiu Zhang raised his finger, "The first one is for us to make an alchemy item to test our hands-on ability;"

"The second is to examine our understanding of practical ancient runes."

"But I don't understand much. Last year we only learned 7, no, 9 practical runes." Marietta said with a bitter face.

"Stupid, the professor has written three books in total, one of which is about ancient runes."

"Then what are we waiting for!" She excitedly held Qiu Zhang's hand and was about to go to the library.

"Wait, wait, we still have class!" Qiu Zhang grabbed his unreliable friend.

"Oh, I forgot. By the way, does that handsome Hufflepuff have a date with you?"

"Ahem! Well...he invited me to spend the weekend in Hogsmeade."

"Oh~"

On the other side, Felix had already finished his morning class, he went straight to the library, and met the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who came out at the door.

He nodded to the professor and brushed past him.

"Professor Haipu, please wait!"

Felix stopped, "What's the matter, Professor Lupine?"

Lupine looked at him gently: "Well, I learned from some students that dueling class and Defense Against the Dark Arts class had been interacting before, and I would like to ask about your plans for this school year..."

Felix's scalp tingled a little, feeling that Snape was staring at him from a corner.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

He thought for a while and said, "Let me communicate with Severus and decide what to teach this school year."

Lupine obviously understood his hint, he didn't ask for anything else, and thanked him gently.

Felix looked at his back, "He's a nice person, but it's a pity you can only stay for one year." Otherwise, he would work hard and try to untie the knot between the two of them.

But this kind of thing is actually thankless, and it's easy to put yourself in it. When Snape leaves the Dueling Club in a fit of anger, he will be caught blind.

Felix walked into the library, greeted Mrs. Pince, the librarian, and walked all the way to the restricted area.

After a while, he found the book he wanted - "Wizard Blood".

'There are different accounts of the origin of the wizard, but two are the most prevalent.Destinyists believe that wizards are people who have naturally awakened to magical powers. They are destined to be extraordinary and unique from birth.These people are regarded as the original pure blood, or the source of the first generation of wizards. '

'While wizards who hold the theory of blood transplantation believe that wizards were just ordinary people at first.In the very early days, ordinary people (Muggles) faced the threat of magical animals and had a hard time surviving.Some wise men transplanted part of the magical blood to themselves through experiments, thus possessing magical powers. '

’ But the second statement is obviously untenable. It is a blasphemy against the identity of a wizard and is full of incredible lies.Whenever someone discusses this topic with me, I always answer him with a question: where did the original magical creatures come from? '

'This question is not easy to answer, because there are also two voices, one is naturalism, which believes that those magical creatures have always existed, and the other voice believes that magical creatures are the result of wizards' experiments. '

'According to the first argument, if Fantastic Beasts have always existed, why couldn't wizards have always existed?And the second statement proves the greatness of wizards...'

Felix quickly flipped through this part of the content mixed with strong personal opinions. After ten minutes, he stopped on a paragraph.

'The blood of a wizard has magical power, and it is more abundant than other parts. In some strict magic contracts, blood is one of the necessary conditions.From this, the notorious bloodline detection magic was derived. Some pure-blood families would extract the bloodlines of their newborn offspring and discard those with low concentrations.But this approach has been cast aside, and even today, it is not ruled out that there are still some stubborn families who insist on using it...'

Felix looked up from his book, thinking about what he had seen.

He originally wanted to confirm whether he could use Sirius Black's hair instead of blood to pry open the defense system of Black's old house.

But the question is how much hair does he need?Dumbledore didn't give much, and he was reluctant to make three looking glasses.So Felix came to the library to look up relevant materials.

Judging from the results, his idea is unlikely to succeed.

　Add more for the leader's suit or white shirt (4/7), and return it slowly.
