A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 326 Lupine's doubts

Remus Lupine attached great importance to today's interview. He was half an hour ahead of schedule, and silently reviewed the materials he had prepared on the way here. He treasured the cut newspaper clippings in his pocket.

"...Regardless of background, it all depends on ability. Anyone who is far beyond ordinary people in any of the three fields of ancient runes, alchemy, spells, transformation, magic theory, and Muggle research..."

Regardless of origin, it all depends on ability!
This is an extremely rare term used in recruitment in the magic world. Although the conditions are relatively harsh, Lupine thinks that he is not bad except for ancient runes. In fact, he is best at content related to Defense Against the Dark Arts. , During those years when he was wandering, there were many opportunities to practice.

After receiving the interview invitation, the reply letter sent to him reiterated that the company is committed to the practical research of magic, which will involve the improvement and transformation of a large number of Muggle items. Lupine spent half a month to understand the non-magical world. All kinds of novelty.

This understanding was fascinated, and Lupine discovered a system completely different from magic, full of rigor and logic, and everything could be traced, but unfortunately, there was no place for magic here.

He didn't know if the owner of 'Future World' saw this, but he felt that even if he was not admitted, it would be worthwhile to see the philosophy of this company.When he came over according to the address, he saw a very imposing vertical castle surrounded by a large group of people.

He listened for a few minutes, still confused.What is a building that grew suddenly an hour ago? Could it be that this was an open space two hours ago?
He also saw a house-elf in clothes—a strange thing in itself—but the ringed ouroboros on his chest caught Lupine's attention, representing some ancient family, or alchemy?Or... the Rune Club?

After he revealed his identity, the house elf led him into the building. Lupine liked the simple and unadorned architectural style of the interior. They went up a winding staircase, with Dobby bouncing ahead. .

"Please wait--"

Lupine looked at the reliefs on the ceiling near the handrail on the second floor, and had to do his homework for the past few days. Although he didn't know all the characters on the dome, he could tell their occupations, especially the one who played with complicated machinery. Man, that seems to be a mechanical engineer?

While thinking, he heard a rush of wind, turned his head, and saw Severus Snape's indifferent face.Snape stood two steps higher than him, folded his black robes in front of him, looked down at him like a black bat with its wings folded.

"Lupin," Snape said softly, a grin forming on the corner of his mouth, "welcome to..."

Lupine suddenly remembered that Snape had the same expression when he brought him the Wolfsbane Potion for the first time. After he drank it, he couldn't eat for two whole days.

"Hi, Severus," said Lupine gently as he walked up the last two steps, "what a coincidence to meet you here."

"Coincidence? No..." Snape said playfully, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are you waiting for me?" Lupine frowned, and the Ouroboros pattern on Dobby's chest came to mind again. He is a Muggle-friendly person, and the ancient runes were ranked first in the recruitment requirements...

"The surname Lupine may hint at your identity." Snape's smile became colder. "I have recently studied the knowledge of names, and I have overlooked one point in the past. Names are magical."

Lupine was stung, and he hated being mentioned about it. The word 'Lupine', in the uncommon usage of some countries, has the meaning of wolf.

Snape curled his lips contemptuously, and was about to continue to say something, but there was a noise behind him, and Felix came out with Percy and Penello, who were surprised by the tense atmosphere between them.

"Get out of here—" Snape said coldly.

Percy and Penello glanced at Felix, who nodded at them with a smile, and they left in a hurry.

Felix waved his wand, and the door of the building slammed shut.

Leaning against the corner, he said slowly, "I've always been curious. The two professors were outstanding at that time. One is a master of dueling and the other is a master of Defense Against the Dark Arts. So who is better?"

"I had the opportunity to see this, but I cut it off, and now I finally have the opportunity to confirm it."

Lupine frowned and looked at Felix: "I'm here for an interview, not a fight."

Felix lowered his head and stared at his nails seriously: "You misunderstood, Professor Lupine. At your farewell party, I have already admitted you, yes, this is my company. I respect your Ability has enough understanding as early as this year's work together, so you can regard this as an orientation activity for new colleagues-show your skills and improve your understanding. Perhaps, you can also chant evil curses at me. "

A flash of red flew towards him, "Don't talk nonsense, Felix," Snape said sullenly.He looked at Lupin, "I don't seem to have much to do with you, you always hide behind Potter and Black's ass..."

"Oh, Severus," Lupine said, pulling out his wand, and he couldn't contain his anger, "the two of them are enough for you, and if you add me, you'll be scared to pee your pants."

Snape showed a stern smile, "That's very well said..." A red light flew out.

Lupine dodged swiftly and cast a disarming spell with his backhand. The two equally angry people fought, and the spells flew and radiated everywhere.Snape felt the excitement he hadn't seen for a long time, he really felt that he was still alive, except for the chatter of someone next to him—

"Nobody cares here, don't hide, Severus, where's your dark magic?"

"Oh, almost hit me, Professor, your aim is wrong—"

Felix tilted his head, a spell exploded beside him, and he smiled: "You guys did it to me first, don't say I'm unreasonable..."

He stood upright from the wall, his arms stretched out slowly, a black magic wand appeared in his hand, with just a light wave, three dazzling rays of light flew out at the same time, rushing towards the two of them.

Lupine was surprised that he suddenly joined the battlefield, and he blocked the spell in a bit of embarrassment. He took two steps back cautiously, and was surprised to see that Snape also propped up a barrier that was glowing with light.

The two looked at each other, looking at Felix approaching with open arms, Snape said very irritably.

"Kill whoever gets in the way."

But Felix made the first move. As he kept approaching, spells fell like rain. Each spell was not considered strong, but the number was absolutely exaggerated. The magic light illuminated his body.

"Two professors, you still need to work hard."

Snape and Lupine looked at each other, Snape shook his hand and threw out a swift black mist, corroding the spell that was flying towards him, Lupine's wand swiped down like a sharp sword, and made a "whoosh" sound , the gravel on the floor trembled and flew towards Felix.

He is still a little dazed now, completely unable to understand what happened.Originally participating in the interview nervously, he bumped into his arch-nemesis Snape and poked him in the sore spot as soon as he came up. Another ex-colleague also secretly poked trouble and encouraged them to fight. He even found lame excuses to join in, and himself Forced to team up with Snape...

How did you get to this point?
