A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 316 The Choice of Different People
Harry never expected that he would hear the name of the company "Future World" many times in the next two days.

On the morning of the third day, he, Ron, and Hermione hurried to the Rune Club, because there was only one week, and every member of the club felt a sense of urgency, even Harry and Ron, who had been restrained tightly before, Also be patient and didn't go to the last trip to Hogsmeade this semester.

Of course, this is also related to a certain real hidden worry that Hermione pointed out, "This kind of opportunity is hard to find—if the professor's expectations are not met, not only will the professor send a letter home, but even whether there will be any chances in the next school year." Every opportunity is marked with a question mark. You don't want to see Malfoy smug, do you?"

Harry had to admit that Hermione's last words had managed to move him, as had Ron.

"Look at his arrogance, he's completely forgotten about Buckbeak!" Ron said angrily.

When Draco Malfoy showed off his learning progress to them yesterday when he left the classroom, Ron chose to counterattack with the news of Buckbeak's victory, but Malfoy didn't remember the name at all, and said mockingly: "This Is it a doll you made yourself, little Ronnie?"

A few Slytherins laughed, and because of George's mistake, the whole club knew what Ron's nickname was.

……

They came to the stronghold of the Rune Club. Hermione drew a rune in the air with her fingers and stuck it on the door. The door opened silently. When the three of them walked into the room, the door behind them closed automatically. up.

Professor Haip was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Neville. The sharp-eyed Hermione saw Neville handing the professor an invitation card intertwined with gold and red patterns.

"I have, Neville," said the Professor.

Neville smiled shyly at Harry and the others, put his fingers into the stone basin next to him, and his whole body was sucked in. Harry began to imagine that when he landed from the sky, a scene of Professor Happe suddenly appearing.

Harry and Ron entered the space in the stone basin one after another, and Hermione stayed at the end, looking at Felix, obviously having something to say.

"Sit down, Granger."

Hermione sat next to him. "Can I talk to you, Professor?"

"Of course, you have already finished their journey ahead of time. I designed this teaching process based on your learning progress." Felix said with a smile. Light, "Well, no one will hear our conversation."

Hermione pulled out the Time-Turner hidden in her clothes and said hesitantly, "Professor, do you think I should hand it in?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I broke my agreement with Professor McGonagall and used it outside of my studies, she trusted me so much, if she knew—" said Hermione sadly.

"Miss Granger," Felix said emphatically, "do you think you and I are the only ones who know about this? Maybe two of your best friends?"

Hermione's eyes widened: "Professor, you mean, there are other people who know, know—" Her hands and feet became cold. On the day of the Battle of Covered Bridges, she violated at least a hundred laws formulated by the Ministry of Magic .

"Let's do a simple recap of our actions that day: We did cheat time, or more accurately, just complete a piece of history."

Felix said calmly: "In order to wait for the scene you mentioned, even if they encountered crises several times, I never showed up and kept watching from the side. The closest time was less than a foot away from Harry...until Your experience became everyone's experience, and I started to guide Harry, and he successfully cast the powerful Patronus, and then the next thing happened."

Hermione nodded. The professor had told her this, and she agreed.

Felix continued: "But there is a loophole in this - I suddenly appeared in front of everyone. For those who know that you have a time-turner, it is easy to deduce many things from this tiny detail, such as Headmaster Dumbledore, like Professor McGonagall..."

"What about the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione held her breath.

"The Aurors probably don't know about such a confidential matter, at least they can't think of you, but Fudge... I don't know if his head full of desire for power can think of it, but he has no way to verify it." Felix S spread his hands and said.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm not here to scare you, but to tell you something that you've overlooked before. So, if Professor McGonagall pretends not to know, you don't have to tell everything, it will embarrass you all... But I suggest you Give up some electives, and you've had a rough year."

Hermione bit her lip, her expression was very tangled, she calculated in her heart that she had already given up divination, as long as she gave up one more class, she could have a normal class schedule, and she already had the answer in her heart.

She chose Muggle studies before because she thought it would be fascinating to look at ordinary people from the perspective of the wizarding world, but after a year, despite the novelty, she realized that in some common sense, the professors of this course are no better than She knows more, and the viewpoints in the textbooks are quite old and pedantic, which is not as good as the book written by Professor Haipu.

"Professor, I've made up my mind. I will return the Time Converter to Professor McGonagall."

She'll have an opportune moment later today - at Professor Lupine's farewell party.

……

When the day's study was over, Harry heard Percy and Penelope discussing in low voices as they walked out of the classroom.

"Penello, what do you think?"

Penello said hesitantly: "I want to do something meaningful. The future world you mentioned is just a newly established company, maybe just a small shop?"

"It's a tempting ad, isn't it?"

"Maybe it's just big talk..."

"No, look at its salary, fifty galleons per month, which is much higher than the members of the Ministry of Magic, I can't even get the money—"

"I didn't choose to work for the money!" Penello said angrily.

"I know, I know, but this also means that this company is very sincere and lacks people," Percy tried his best to persuade his girlfriend: "Don't rush to make a decision, Penello. When the holiday is over, I will go with you to take a look, it's in Diagon Alley..."

In the evening, Harry came to Professor Lupine's office.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office was moved to the third floor. Harry had always suspected that it was the battle between Professor Lupine and Snape that destroyed the original room. On the day of the duel match, he saw a flash in Professor Hape's eyes. The picture of the two confronting each other.

But neither Professor Lupine nor Professor Hemp admitted, and he really didn't have the courage to ask Snape - the result was predictable, he would be deducted fifty points, plus a week of confinement.

Lupine's office door was open.He has packed most of his things already.Grindylow's empty water tank stood beside his battered trunk, which was open and almost full.

"I saw you coming," said Lupine, smiling, pointing to a piece of parchment on the table. Harry leaned over and realized that it was the Marauder's Map.The map went round and round and returned to its maker.

Lupine said: "Professor Haipu gave it back to me a few days ago. He has cracked the secret on it. Sirius and I agree that it should belong to you."

"For me?" Harry said in surprise.

"You're as restless as James, and I dare say you, Ron and Hermione will find a use for this map. If James' son never discovers any of the secret passages in the castle , James will be very disappointed."

"But the secret passage has been blocked..."

"Just the secret passage to Hogsmeade," Lupine added. "The secret passage in the castle is much more than that."

Harry picked up the map with a smile, and looked carefully for a while, but couldn't find Professor Haip's name. He grinned, and the professor really cracked the secret of the Marauder's Map.

He conveniently stuffed the map into his pocket, and saw the newspaper with a folded corner beside it. The recruitment information on that page caught his attention, and he read it carefully——

'The future world welcomes you to join us!
Recruitment is open to the whole society, regardless of origin, based on ability.Anyone who is far beyond ordinary people in any of the three fields of ancient runes, alchemy, spells, transfiguration, magic theory, and Muggle studies can write to apply for a position. remuneration.

Join the future world, join the future.Looking forward to hearing from you.

Another: Since the company will involve the improvement and transformation of a large number of Muggle items, those with relevant life experience are preferred. '

Harry put down the newspaper and said hesitantly, "Professor Lupine, are you going to..."

"Ah, you said this," Lupine tightened his old box, raised his head and said, "After leaving Hogwarts, I didn't know what to do for a while, and I happened to see the message on it...I thought, If I can successfully apply for the job, even if I am kicked out after only working for a few months, it will be a considerable income.”

Harry felt sorry for Professor Lupine, not a sudden strong emotion, but like an undercurrent under the surface of calm water, poking his heart with an irreparable and faint sadness.

Professor Lupine has been carrying the identity of a werewolf all his life, hiding in XZ, staying in one place for less than half a year, and after leaving Hogwarts, he will also lose the stable source of wolfsbane potion.

"You will succeed!" Harry encouraged him loudly.

Lupine was surprised for a second or two, then smiled. "Don't worry about me, Harry." But he didn't give a reason, maybe because there was no reason to say, he put the box in the corner and straightened himself robe, "Let's go."
