A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 195 Neville's Wand

In the last class of the afternoon, when Felix saw a group of dirty little wizards walking into the classroom, he looked at them strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Neville wailed: "I blew up the cauldron."

Standing next to him was a little wizard with light brown hair, and Seamus Finnigan explained solemnly: "Professor, that was just an accident. Professor Snape stood behind Neville, and Neville shook a handful of The caterpillar slices fell into the cauldron while I was stirring the potion...Anyway, there was an explosion."

Felix waved his wand wordlessly to clean up the suspicious black smoke from their faces and robes, and looked at the others, and he also solved it smoothly.

"Thank you, Professor," said Neville.

"You're welcome," Felix said to him, "stay here after class, I have something to tell you." Neville visibly shook, and Felix added, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

He watched as Neville stumbled into a seat and Hermione came over quietly, "Professor?" Harry and Ron next to her were also listening.

"About the wand," said Felix curtly.

Hermione understood instantly. In the thesis she wrote last semester, she mentioned that among the wizards she knew, there were two who had inherited their wands from others, and they were very difficult to use. One was Ron, and the other was Neville.

It looked as if Professor Hemp was going to suggest that Neville get another wand.

She pulled Harry and Ron who didn't know why back to their seats, and muttered softly.

After a minute or two, Felix started his class.

"Today we officially learn the ancient runes, and turn the book to the seventh page. They are all very simple sentences, but in fact, you will learn its complete chapters in the fourth grade."

"If you learn this lesson well, you will definitely save a lot of trouble in the fourth grade." Felix mobilized the enthusiasm of the little wizards, "The first rune we came into contact with, its pronunciation is Ken, which means light, The shape looks a bit like a torch."

"Combining the known magic handwriting, we found that the ancient wizards have derived multiple meanings from it——

The first level of meaning is the light itself, and this light can illuminate the road ahead, especially the light emanating from darkness;

The second level of meaning, it can refer to the light of knowledge, and the older the manuscript, the more obvious it is.It may be because in the age of ignorance, knowledge can break through the fog...

The third level of meaning represents the opposite of evil. In a certain period of time, some wizards like to use this word to flaunt themselves;

The fourth level of meaning can also refer to hope, especially hope in adversity;

......"

The little wizard at the bottom rustled and took notes, and soon, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Felix clapped his hands, "This class is relatively simple. You only need to memorize the meanings of the twelve ancient runes. I won't leave any papers, but you must complete the content on the 'answer parchment'—all It is a multiple-choice question, so I ask you to have a correct rate of more than [-]%, and I will spend a few minutes in the next class for the test."

The little wizards came out in a file, and Felix watched Neville step out of the classroom with one foot, and quickly stopped him.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot..." Neville retracted his outstretched foot.

The three of Harry dilly-dally packed up their things, Hermione pretended to accidentally loosen a stack of parchment, Ron and Harry acted more bluntly, holding a book and weighing it over and over again, trying to tell the professor that they I want to straighten the book.

Felix looked at Neville in front of him, his round face was a little uneasy, and he said gently: "Longbottom, I heard that you inherited your wand from someone else?"

"Yes, it's my father," Neville whispered.

Felix was afraid to touch his heartbreak, the boy he and Harry had met during the summer holidays, with an old woman by his side instead of his parents.

"Can you perform a few spells?" Felix said.

"Now? In, here?" Neville stammered.

"Yes."

Neville pulled out his wand awkwardly, blushing and fumbling in the air.

Harry, who was still packing his things, couldn't stand it anymore. He walked up to Neville and encouraged him aloud, "Neville, don't be nervous. We practiced the Disarming Charm together. Think about how you felt at that time!"

Felix glanced at him, it's fine for you to stay and eavesdrop, and you're still meddling in a fair manner... For the sake of your words being useful, I won't drive you away.

Neville did relax, he called "Expelliarmus" and a red light flashed away.

Felix thought for a moment, "Harry, would you like to temporarily lend Neville his wand to use the Disarming Charm?"

Harry froze for a moment, "Of course, no problem." He handed Neville his wand.

Felix looked at Neville with a dazed expression, and said to him, "Try Harry's wand, or use the Disarming Charm."

Neville tried a few times, but he didn't release even a single spark, and instead made himself panting from exhaustion.

It's as if Harry's wand doesn't want to talk to him at all...

"Try Mr. Weasley's again, I remember you both have the same core - unicorn hair?"

"Yes, Professor," said Ron.Before he knew it, he and Hermione also came over.

Felix asked: "Weasley, would you like to temporarily lend Neville your wand to use the Disarming Charm?"

Ron seemed to think this kind of conversation was cool, and he said with a straight face, "As you wish, sir." Then he handed Neville his wand with both hands in a slightly solemn manner.

This time, Neville managed to cast the Disarming Charm.

"Hmm..." Felix thought.

"Professor, what does this mean?" Hermione was very interested in this phenomenon, and she wanted to add this paragraph to her notes.

Felix explained: "This means that Mr. Longbottom's wand just doesn't repel him, but it doesn't suit him. It creates a lot of obstacles, and it would be better to change it."

Neville held on to his wand steadfastly.

"Teacher, professor, I don't want to change wands."

Felix said quietly, "There are other ways to commemorate..."

He glanced at Neville: "Wait a minute." Then he took out a piece of parchment and wrote a series of smooth letters on it. From the upside-down words, Hermione recognized 'Mrs. Longbottom'.

Soon, Felix finished writing a short letter and handed it to Neville, "Send it to your grandmother, let her decide."

When Neville walked out of the classroom, his expression was very troubled.

Hermione, remembering his forgetful habits, advised him: "Let's go post the letter now and eat when we get back?"

"I, I..." Neville bit his lip.

Harry understood his attitude very well. The wand was probably a relic left to him by his parents, and he was remembering them in this way.But he also agreed with Professor Haip's statement that there is more than one way to commemorate, and there is no need to force yourself to use an inappropriate wand.

He pulled Neville aside and spoke to him in a low voice.

Hermione asked Ron with a puzzled expression, "What happened to them?"

Ron shrugged that he didn't know, and switched to gloating about the twins.

"Percy took the wrong medicine recently, staring at Fred and George all day..."
