A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 332 Invitation

It was August, and Felix thought he would stay in Diagon Alley until the start of the Quidditch World Cup, until he received a letter from his student, Clémie Vera.

'Dear Professor Hype
I also work at Gringotts in Egypt, and apart from the somewhat spooky and humid working environment, everything is fine here.

I got to know a lot of friendly colleagues. A senior named Bill Weasley took me along. When I mentioned you to him, I was surprised to find that he knew you, and he was enrolled in the same year as you!I couldn't wait to ask him more about you and to my surprise he described you as a "walking sphinx" because in the few short exchanges you politely asked him very esoteric knowledge of ancient runes and magic theory, and he couldn't answer it, which made him a little embarrassed and hurt his self-esteem (Bill himself is a very funny and humorous senior, he said these words with a smile), because you don't Ancient runes are not selected.

I also met some local friends who came from the mysterious Ouagadou, a large magic school with more than 5000 students!I can't imagine so many people taking classes together, but they told me it's because Ouagadou recruits students from all over Africa...

I am now encountering a problem. After exploring an ancient tomb at the bottom of an Egyptian pyramid, we accidentally discovered a dark room leading to a deeper layer. It is a long, winding corridor that is surrounded by thick black fog. Shrouded, there are all kinds of dangerous magic traps inside - we didn't even finish exploring the corridors, a colleague suffered seven or eight kinds of curses, and we evacuated urgently.

This colleague was sent to the hospital, but he brought back a stone slab on the wall of the corridor. The stone slab was actually engraved with ancient runes. I have never touched it before, and even my grandfather could not decipher and translate it. distant ages.

I seriously doubt that they are all practical ancient runes (the traced patterns are sent with the letter), I am eager to accept your guidance, and it would be great if you could come.

Your student, Creme Vera. '

"Tsk! The wandering sphinx..."

Felix put the letter aside and looked at the Egyptian holy heron next to him. It was a large bird over half a meter in size. Its body was all white, but the ends of its wings and tail feathers were dotted with black.It shrank to one side, thinking of itself as a delivery owl, pecking at the small biscuits on the plate.

The bird's head and neck are black and bare, and its long, downward-curving beak looks like a black sickle.

Its legs are long and strong. Seeing Felix looking over at this moment, it stretched out its legs and kicked a tightly wrapped package next to it. After Felix unwrapped it, what he saw was a three-foot-square Parchment with the pattern obtained from the tracing stone mentioned in the letter of Clemie Vera.

He carefully looked at the copy of the slate, and confirmed the true colors of these patterns at the first glance. They are indeed ancient runes. While drawing this incomplete pattern, a black arc of lightning surged in the air.

Felix looked carefully at the letter sent by Keremi again, and intuitively felt a contradiction—the owner of the dark room swaggered and hung a stone tablet engraved with ancient magic mysteries in the corridor, which seemed to indicate that the owner was a very generous person. People, but the mist and the curse have nothing to do with generosity.

He did not easily determine that this is a black wizard, because in different eras, people have different definitions of black wizards. In the ancient wizard group, all the black wizards who can be called black wizards are extremely evil, right? Comparable now.

"A powerful ancient wizard slipped into the pyramid, built a dark room for himself, and arranged a complicated curse... Could it be some kind of harsh inheritance? And the black mist and the curse are tests for outsiders?"

"Or, is it using human greed to punish unexpected intruders?"

Felix wrote back a letter with all this information, including his own guesswork.He also expressed his gratitude to Vera for the invitation, and then his heart moved, asking if he could take a student with him. His assistant has mastered a lot of knowledge of ancient runes in two years, and it is time to get in touch with some social practice .

After waiting in peace for a few days, Clemie Vera sent a letter back, expressing her welcome to him and that student, and accompanying the letter was a formal invitation from Gringotts. There were two places in the name column, one One place had been filled in with the name "Felix Hepp" and the other was left blank.

Only those who hold this invitation will be allowed to explore inside the pyramid.

Felix smiled, and filled in the blank with the name "Hermione Granger".

The next morning, Hermione excitedly came to the Future World Company in Diagon Alley, looking at it curiously. Just yesterday, the professor sent her a letter to explain the situation and invited her to explore the Egyptian pyramids together!She has long wanted to go, although the professor told her that she would stay behind most of the time, but she also had the opportunity to get close to the magical relics thousands of years ago under safe conditions.

"Professor Lupine!" Hermione saw Lupine unexpectedly, "Why are you here?"

Lupine smiled and said, "Always find a job for yourself." He took Hermione upstairs while briefly introducing the company.The employees they met along the way greeted Lupine one after another, and soon they came to an office on the fifth floor.

Pushing open the door, Felix was sitting on a chair, staring seriously at his palm, where a black lightning bolt was entangled.Seeing Lupine and Hermione come in, he let go of his magic and smiled.

"Remus, I may have to leave for a few days."

Lupine shook his head and said with a sigh, "When you come back, will you still go to France?"

Felix said humorously, "Remus, you don't have a talent for prophecy, do you?"

……

"Professor, are you researching magic lamps?" Hermione asked. When she came over, she saw magical creatures of various shapes. She found that each animal had a glowing magic light ball on it, and the ancient magic she had mastered Illumination is very similar.

Felix smiled: "The research work is done, they are preparing for the Quidditch World Cup, a big light show."

"Lantern show..." Hermione imagined the scene, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Okay, today's time is a bit rushed. When we come back from Egypt, you can stay here and take a look." Felix said, he is very much looking forward to Hermione's ability to continue to study ancient runes after graduation. Her current level has exceeded All employees of the future world.

And it was four full years before she graduated from Hogwarts.

……

Egypt, Nile Valley.

Felix and Hermione were walking on the streets of Cairo, intuitively feeling the rushing exotic amorous feelings.An Arab with a bad accent asked if they needed a camel, but they refused. Hermione reluctantly watched the strange-looking camel go away from them, and fed it a tuft of hay before leaving.

"Well, we need to meet your senior sister first, she can't wait," Felix said, and he added, "Maybe there will be a chance to ride a camel later? I have the impression that the pyramids are in the desert..."

In a tavern in the city, Felix and Hermione met Clemie Vera, wearing a sun hat with a transparent silk scarf hanging from its wide brim.When she lifted the curtain, they saw her tanned and smiling brightly.
