A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 222 Black's Trace
To be honest, Felix didn't know if Luna had the talent for divination. This little girl has always been very special, but what he focused on was: "You still often go to the Forbidden Forest?"

Luna froze for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to solve this problem. Felix also wanted to hear how she would explain, but then Luna became dazed.

Felix snapped his fingers in front of her, and Luna said dreamily, "Firenze is a good man."

Felix wasn't sure whether her words answered his previous question, but he roughly understood what she meant: the centaur named Firenze would protect her.

He tentatively said, "Maybe I can get to know your centaur friend? I happen to be going to the Forbidden Forest on weekends to release a small animal..."

"Oh, I'm not sure. Firenze said that his companions are very traditional. According to my understanding, they just have a bad temper." Luna said. "I can talk to him first."

……

Another two days later, Hogwarts was rainy, and the black clouds were so low that it was hard to breathe.The temperature dropped to the bottom, and Madam Pomfrey reminded the little wizards to put on thick clothes more than once.

"It doesn't need her to remind, I mean, we are not fools." Ron pointed to the weather outside, and there was a light rain outside the window, hitting the shed in the second greenhouse.

Harry flicked the pod feebly, "Wood will like it, he thinks our first game is likely to catch up with the rainy weather, he can't wait to add this part of the training content... It can be regarded as a chance for him."

Mrs. Sprout clapped her hands, attracting the attention of the little wizards. She reminded: "Pay attention to your methods and be gentle, otherwise they will retaliate severely."

But she said it was too late, Seamus Finnigan's actions were very rough, because he was repeating his experience in rune class with Neville, "You also saw that as soon as I touched that fiery red magic symbol, it Just give a strong reaction, I guess... ouch!"

The pod in front of him exploded suddenly, and seven or eight hard beans shot out from it, all hitting him in the face, one of which accidentally injured Neville, and he groaned too.

Mrs. Sprout walked over quickly. She scanned the scene, "Don't follow the instructions, and ignore the teacher's words! I should really deduct points for you, Mr. Finnigan." She took Seamus and Neville away In the corner, "Just a dab of ointment, and honestly, if you're that careless about squeezing the pus out of a Babo tuber, you're going to suffer..."

A flash of lightning flashed across suddenly, illuminating the somewhat dim castle. Felix retracted his wand, turned his head to write and draw on the parchment, and in a glass container next to him, a fist-sized acromantula said angrily: "You are dishonest, wizard!"

Felix said: "I promised you to let you go back before Halloween, but I didn't say which day. And...you really don't consider my suggestion? I can let you be my assistant."

"What assistant? Same as that little girl?" said the acromantula. It had seen Hermione, and the little witch was very interested in it until Felix showed her its true size.

In a normal state, an acromantula is as big as a small carriage, covered with hard black hair, with a small and ugly head, and a pair of large claws that always make a "click" sound anytime and anywhere.

"Ah, almost, but you have to continue to cooperate with my research." Felix said.

The acromantula thought for a moment, and then yelled angrily. Felix thought it was noisy, so he cast a silencing spell on the glass container.

"I finally got the detailed test data. The rest of the work is to conduct some repeated tests on other creatures, and compare the results so that I know what I know." Felix put away a stack of thick parchment.

He will do this for every ancient magic he currently masters.Flitwick appreciated the caution.

That night, the drizzle turned into a torrential rain, with pea-sized raindrops beating on the window sills of the castle, and while half asleep, Felix heard a low beeping siren.

He sat up suddenly, and the wand appeared in his hand in an instant.Waiting quietly for a few seconds, there was no one, but he quickly thought of something, quickly came out of the bedroom, and pushed open the window of the office——

The rain was swept into the room by the strong wind, it was pitch black outside the window, and the alarm sound became clear all of a sudden.

"It's the pocket looking glass at the castle gate, here comes Sirius Black!"

He turned over and jumped out of the window, a gleam of light flashed in the ring, and a broomstick suddenly appeared. In the next second, he rode the broom through layers of rainwater as thick as a curtain, and disappeared in front of the office.

When he appeared at the gate of the castle, there was no one there, except for a place above the gate, which was constantly flashing with golden light, accompanied by a huge buzzing sound.

Felix pointed at himself with his wand, and a large cloud of mist emanated from him, making him look like a boiling kettle.At this moment, Dumbledore appeared. He was wearing a gray-blue pajamas, he didn't even wear glasses, and a fiery red phoenix lay on his shoulder.

"Hello, Fox." Felix greeted.

Fox groaned.

A tabby cat appeared in the distance, turning into a panting Professor McGonagall while running.

"Did you find anything, Felix?" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

"Obviously, I'm late." Felix pointed to the broom in his hand. Among the three, he was the closest to the gate of the castle. "Already arrived as fast as he could, but the rain helped him a lot."

"Is it Sirius Black?" Professor McGonagall asked in a panic.

"Obviously..." Felix flicked his wand, stopping the beeping.

"We should search the castle, Dumbledore," said Professor McGonagall solemnly, "Filius Flitwick, Severus Snape, Argus Filch..." she muttered With one name after another, three silver-white cats flew out from her wand and flew away in different directions.

Dumbledore watched quietly as Professor McGonagall's patron saint disappeared. He bent down to observe the ground at the castle gate, and touched the cold marble with his fingers. Then he walked into the castle swiftly and asked about the row of portraits closest to the gate.

"An outsider broke in?"

"No, we didn't find anything." The characters in the portrait said one after another, "Of course we can be deceived, Mr. Principal."

Dumbledore nodded, but said nothing.

"Is it possible that Black is hiding in the castle, Albus?" said Professor McGonagall worriedly.

"It's unlikely," Dumbledore said softly. "Felix arrived very fast, and he couldn't clean up his traces calmly. It's very likely that he just appeared from afar and triggered the alarm. But we will Get ready, Fox—"
