A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 365 After the Lights Out
Ron left them angrily, "Ron—" Harry reached for his back, not knowing what to say.

When he was packing for the first day back at school, he saw Mrs. Weasley's dress for Ron.From his point of view, it looked more like a maroon velvet dress with a musty ruffle at the neckline and matching lace at the cuffs.

Harry didn't have the courage to wear it out. Judging from Ron's expression at the time, he wished he could put this dress at the bottom of the suitcase, and he would never use it once in his life.

Ten seconds later, Ron flew out whirling.

Harry and Hermione caught him, and Ron sat on the ground, his face pale, and he said in a low voice, "I've had enough of being poor. Harry, can you lend me some money, and I promise to pay you back!"

Harry hesitated for two seconds. He knew what Ron was going to do - buy aging potions. "No problem," he said.

"Ron! You shouldn't - Dumbledore can't fail to consider -" Hermione urged.

"Don't worry about it." Ron buried his head, "Don't you have a way to get the invitation card, aren't you talking big?"

Hermione stared at him incredulously, but Ron only gave her the back of the head.She cast a haughty glance, and stomped up the steps.

Her figure disappeared in front of the cold black hanging gate, and only ten seconds later, the black mist fluctuated violently.

Ron looked at the black stele in disbelief, and a golden name appeared in all directions—Hermione Granger.The black door opened silently, and a wave of hot air gushed out from inside, and the golden flame gradually disappeared behind her.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Felix took Justin Fenriely's apparition and appeared in a London alley, and then they took a taxi and came to the villa area according to the address provided by Justin.

"Mom, it's me, Justin." Justin rang the doorbell in front of the courtyard and said into the microphone above: "I'm with a professor in the school."

"Oh my God! Mother is coming right over, baby."

There was a frantic sound from the other side of the microphone, as if someone had broken a glass.

Justin opened his mouth, a little embarrassed, and Felix silently observed the carved patterns on the pillars, until a delicately dressed woman came out quickly, straightening her hat in a panic.

"Hello, you are, uh..."

Through the door, she was stunned, looking at Justin and then at Felix.

"Are you the professor of...?" She asked cautiously. She was too young. All the professors she had met had fat bodies and thinning hair, without exception.

Even if magic can cure hair loss, it can't make people younger, right?The professor surnamed "McGonagall" who visited the house for the first time did not have this ability.

"Oh, mom, open the door quickly. He is my ancient rune professor, I told you!" Justin said aside.

The woman stretched out a hand through the door and flicked him on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

The woman touched her pocket with satisfaction, and then said apologetically, "Is it Professor Haipu? This child did mention you and said you were young, but I thought, it should be... oh, sorry, I I forgot my key, and I changed when I went home at night...I'll be right back." She left in a hurry.

Justin asked suspiciously: "Professor Haipu? We can use the unlocking spell..."

"It's not necessary," said Felix, "it doesn't hurt to wait."

Justin scratched his curly hair, not quite understanding, "Professor, what kind of magic did you use just now? Portkey?"

Felix laughed. "Where did you hear that word?"

"Ernie told me that during the Quidditch World Cup in the summer, the Ministry of Magic prepared [-] Portkeys, and people from all over the world came to England through Portkeys!"

"Three hundred are only the number in the UK." Felix said, "The magic of the Portkey needs to be attached to something. I use Apparition."

"Disapparation?"

"That's right, it's more convenient than a portkey, and you've seen the effect, and you'll get to know it when you're in sixth grade."

"But why haven't I seen anyone else use it?"

"Oh, because there's a spell in the school that forbids disapparation and, of course, portkeys."

At this time, Mrs. Fenlieli appeared at a trot and welcomed the two of them in.

Mr. Finlieli has the same curly hair as Justin. He brought two cups of coffee, "I heard from Justin that you drink coffee too. My friend gave me some Geisha coffee. You can try it."

He puts down the coffee, wipes his hands, and holds them with Felix.

Felix explained his purpose of coming. Mr. and Mrs. Felix were taken aback, and immediately took him to the study. Mr. Felix introduced as he walked, "It was originally placed in the living room, but Justin The child is always playing with it, and his mother is worried that it will be broken, so she puts it in the study."

Justin glared at his mother, before she tousled his hair.

In the study room, Felix looked at the antique vase carefully for a long time. Of course, what he saw was not the pattern on the enamel paint surface, but the magical glow hidden from ordinary people's vision——

"Is there a question?" Mr. Finlayly asked nervously.

"Oh, no," Felix said, "No matter how many times you watch it, you will be amazed by the craftsmanship of goblins. Their unique magic can be compared to the top formula of alchemy... But please rest assured that there are no curses on it .”

"That's good, that's good." Mr. Finlayley breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried about some radiation or something-forgive him for not understanding magic, but this is the curse he imagined.

Afterwards, the Finlaylies invited him to spend a weekend together.Felix knew that it was their children they wanted to keep.

He said implicitly: "The students at Hogwarts live on campus, and the professor has an unshirkable responsibility for the safety of little wizards..." Seeing their disappointed expressions, he added, "At most, wait By tomorrow morning, please prepare a room for me, preferably quieter."

"Naturally, don't worry, Professor Haipu." Mrs. Finliery hastily agreed, for fear that he would go back on his word.She patted Justin on the back of the head and said seriously, "What about your manners?"

Justin said dully, "Thank you Professor."

……

Hogwarts, after lights out.

Harry went to bed early, he was tired enough for the day, Ron and Hermione were having a fight, and they ignored each other, but Hermione had already got the invitation card, and of course Harry hoped that Ron could get it too, he and Hermione Ron stayed in classroom seven all afternoon.

What he can do is really limited, just help analyze the situation after Ron's failure, but this is really not what he is good at.Fortunately, Hermione left Madam Pomfrey's potion, which can relieve mental fatigue and shorten their rest time a lot.

Ron was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, his face full of preoccupations.

He stared at the light outside the window, barely able to see a corner of the moon.

Harry succeeded, Hermione succeeded, even... He glanced at Neville, who was snoring loudly, yes, even Neville managed to get the invitation card.

He knew he wasn't as good as Harry and Hermione, but at least he didn't want to be left too far behind.

He sat up and stayed in a daze for a long time. Finally, he tiptoed out of bed and picked up the half bottle of medicine from the table.Walk out of the dormitory and open the door to the common room.

Ron walked all the way in the dark corridor in fear, not even using fluorescent lights, for fear of meeting Filch or Mrs. Norris.

Finally, half an hour later, he came near classroom No. [-], secretly thanking himself for his good luck.

With his wand in his mouth, Ron didn't dare to make a sound, and groped along the wall with his hands.There is no lock in classroom No. [-], and the way to enter is to outline a rune symbol.It just so happened that Professor Haipu had spoken in the Rune Club.

Right now, he only needs to find the correct position, quickly outline the runes, and sneak into the classroom, and he can spend one more night than others.

Ron touched a protruding thing, which was cold but warmer than the wall and the door. He was shocked and found it!But in the next second, a suppressed scream rang in his ears, making his hair stand on end.

ghost?Peeves?No, it's a living person...

"Who!"

"Who!" Ron's voice was so frightened that it was distorted, and his tone was twisted and twisted, even he himself didn't know what he was talking about.

In the darkness, there was an unknown creature less than a foot away from him. Ron swallowed, took two steps back, raised his wand, and whispered, "Luminescence flashes."

A hazy halo lit up from the tip of the staff, illuminating the face on the opposite side who was close at hand——

"Draco Malfoy!"

"Ron Weasley!"
