A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 299 Sudden
The award ceremony went smoothly, and nothing "worried about it happened". Felix felt that Professor Trelawney had misunderstood again, but it was hard to say, he couldn't get into the Prophecy Hall of the Department of Mysteries to see See if there are new prophecies formed.

The Department of Mysteries is located on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic. It is a department of the Ministry of Magic that conducts secret research on specific puzzles. Most of its business is top secret, and even the staff of other departments of the Ministry of Magic are secretive about it.

The wizards working in the Department of Mysteries are called the Reticents, and these people are forbidden to disclose any details about the content and location of their work. Felix speculates that they may have signed a harsh confidentiality agreement-while being allowed to conduct dangerous research, are also more restricted.

However, there are rumors that there is a mysterious room in the Department of Mysteries. Every time a prophecy appears in the world, a prophecy ball will automatically appear here.Since the founding of the Ministry of Magic, there may have been thousands of prophecies written down, waiting to be verified by posterity.

……

Felix toyed with a gold medal with a purple ribbon for his personal "outstanding achievements and efforts", and Belby told him the green ribbon for the First Class, representing Slytherin house.

"Isn't Merlin from the early Middle Ages? Can he have anything to do with Slytherin House?" Felix asked curiously.

"Heh, when some pure-blood families trace their genealogy, they claim that their ancestors once followed Merlin..."

"real or fake?"

"Who knows! But some families do have a long history."

Felix returned to the office, and the next two weeks of Easter vacation allowed him to sort out his recent work.But the first thing to deal with is the Easter eggs piled up half the room, and his teeth suddenly feel a little bit. These chocolate candies will let him eat ten years later.

He picked some to give to Sirius, and handed him the results of his recent analysis of the Marauder's Map.

It was a rather crude map, only the size of a palm, with irregular shapes, like the result of a child's random scribbles, it simply marked the castle, the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, and Hagrid's hut.

Sirius took it over with a look of disgust. It was densely packed with small dots, which made people dizzy, but some names were marked in small golden letters, and those were people Sirius cared about——Harry Potter, Remus Lupine, Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore...

"Actually, there is Peter Pettigrew, but I can't see it."

Sirius tore open the wrapping paper of an Easter chocolate egg with his teeth, and took a bite of the chocolate on it, "Thanks, otherwise I'm going to go crazy." He kept staring at the palm-sized piece of paper.

Kreacher said in a low voice: "The young prodigal son goes to the Muggle community to play chess every day, and he brings back a stink..."

"Shut up, Kreacher." Sirius roared angrily.

As the days passed, Felix took the time to reorganize the magic items he had studied this year, and included the research materials in the Thinking Cabin.

Mundungus went to the Far East as planned and brought back a large number of magic items, but Felix had only one request—ancient.

While enriching his knowledge, he also felt more and more that he was a bit like Flitwick in his youth. He had mastered too many runes, but only a small part of them could be used.

"This is also the original intention of my plan to write the book of magic text."

Felix thought to himself, and as his thoughts beat, one magic symbol after another appeared in the air, gold, red, blue, green... like a colorful river, flowing in the office.

"Next - the Untitled Book, ha, I remember Ron Weasley calling it the Ghost Book, which is kind of like it."

In front of Felix, a half-fictitious book appeared. The first few pages were real entities, and the rest were illusory, very similar to the untitled book in Harry's hand, but the two are not comparable.

He turned a new page, one rune after another flew out of the colorful river, jumped into the page, and various forms of rune appeared on the page——

A hanging waterfall, the lightning that pierces the sky, the bridge connecting the two places, the ever-spreading green mist...

Felix looked at all this with satisfaction. If he included all the runes, it would mean that he had fully mastered the magical symbols of these runes, although this process may last for a long time.

He suddenly thought of a question, how did the first ancient magic come about?

Are wizards born with it? It's a bit unrealistic. He tends to be inspired by ancient wizards who accidentally triggered this inspiration when they were studying magical animals and magical plants.

The difference between the two is that for magical creatures, talent is an instinct that does not need to be learned, just like people can run and jump, they are born to release lightning and change their shape, but they are inevitably limited by their bodies.

After the ancient wizard transformed his talent into ancient magic, he accidentally got rid of this imprisonment.Their problem, instead, is to exhaust their minds to control it so that it does not get out of control, but from another perspective, they also make this magic more powerful.

With a move in his heart, Felix took out a stack of parchment, which was a manuscript left by Slytherin. He had decided to seal it up because Salazar Slytherin's methods were too cruel and it was not suitable for his rune path. These materials, but now it seems that the two have overlapped.

Before he knew it, he was already able to use his own path to analyze the paths of others.

Felix skipped those bloody and cruel methods, and looked at the records of magical animals one by one, especially the three parchments he picked out before that he thought were suitable for him, which recorded Slytherin's early research on blood magic. Another idea: how to strip the talents of magical creatures into spells used by wizards.

This seems to coincide with Felix's conjecture - Salazar Slytherin had thought of retracing the path of ancient wizards and gaining inspiration from a wider magical world.

But unfortunately, he finally gave up this idea.

Felix couldn't help but wonder, if Salazar Slytherin chose to give up, what was he looking for?Reminiscent of what Helena told him, Salazar Slytherin went deeper into the forbidden realm, and his appearance became more terrifying. This seems to imply that Slytherin was experimenting on himself and integrated into the magical creature blood, and, probably more than one.

Salazar Slytherin turned out to be completely inhuman?
Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw's words still ring in my ears, "We're magical beings in our own right."

What qualifies as a magical creature?Or to put it another way, what happens to a wizard when he is called a magical creature?Felix had no way of knowing, but he thought that since Madam Ravenclaw told him so solemnly, it meant that this was a huge threshold.

And it is very likely that Salazar Slytherin crossed this threshold by relying on transplanted blood.What about the other three, what did they rely on?
So far, he only knows about Rowena Ravenclaw. Judging from her remaining manuscripts, she is a real all-rounder, skilled in alchemy, transformation, spells, and potions, but The most studied is memory magic.

As Felix got deeper into the field of memory magic, he also had a question, that is: Is the Rowena Ravenclaw I saw in the Room of Requirement really just a memory?

Or, is that her?
What will the memory node develop into in the end? Is it related to the soul?

He had too many questions, but no one could answer them, and he could only walk on alone.

On the last day of the Easter holiday, Felix regained his mood and prepared to face the last period of the school year, but Dumbledore suddenly appeared with a solemn expression and brought him bad news.

"Nick is leaving, and he wants to see you one last time."
