A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 378
When Professor McGonagall stopped talking, Felix noticed that Snape's expression suddenly became very strange. He tried his best to show a casual gesture, and said lightly: "We must take them seriously, those dark magic... ..."

He let go, letting the parchment slip from his fingertips.

"Things hidden under dangerous emotions, elusive, unpredictable, always unexpected... If students at Hogwarts are not prepared for this, when they need to, they will find themselves Just a bunch of headless flies."

"When I need it!" Moody repeated loudly, pointing his missing nose at Snape, "Do I need to face it, or do I need to use it? What do you think I've been doing for the past two months?"

Snape and Moody stared at each other.

After a moment of silence, Flitwick interjected uneasily, "I think we can all agree that students will never be taught the Dark Arts—"

Snape glanced at him.

"exactly."

"That's it!" Flitwick said excitedly, as if he had received some kind of encouragement: "But we can't let the students pretend that they don't see that black magic is a huge category of magic. scenarios, they are more advantageous.”

Professor McGonagall said impatiently: "You've confused me, Felius, do you agree with Ilvermorny's suggestion?"

Felix suddenly said: "Professor Flitwick should be as I thought—accept Ilvermorny's proposal. They have two plans. One is to test Hogwarts before the other three schools arrive. The ability to prepare warriors."

"It's not just them, the five schools will do the same thing. If you refer to the information of previous competitions, you will find that there is an option to unite the weaker side and fight against the stronger side. What's more, five schools are participating now, and the Warriors have also increased to three. The situation is more complex and dynamic. Therefore, each school wants to know its position in order to develop appropriate strategies."

Several professors nodded, agreeing with his words.

"What about Ilvermorny's second plan?"

"Of course it is a surprise practice of black arts." Felix said: "Ilvermorny is not as repulsive to black arts as we are, but I want to remind everyone that the name of the course they teach is Defense Against the Dark Arts, not black arts! "

"This means that most of the magic on this list, their students can't!"

"You mean, Felix, we can learn which dark arts Ilvermorny chose through discussions among students?" Professor McGonagall asked.Moody's prosthetic eyes are constantly turning, and it seems that he is thinking quickly.

"That's right." Felix glanced at the parchment in his hand, "There are about fifty black arts in here, with various types and different emphases. Except for Durmstrang, it is impossible for students from other schools to master all of them. , the best strategy is to pick out the useful parts, and traditional schools like Beauxbatons, and maybe even Hogwarts, refuse to use the dark arts."

McGonagall frowned and thought about it: "Among the five schools, Beauxbatons' attitude towards the dark arts is indeed similar to that of Hogwarts, and there is a possibility as you mentioned. As for the remaining three... Dems Needless to say, Trump, their students have at least mastered most of the black magic on the list, Ilvermorny will choose selectively, the only thing that is not sure is Waggadu..."

"What do you think of Waggadu?"

Felix shook his head lightly, "I don't know anything about it, some information is just hearsay and cannot be used as a basis."

McGonagall glanced up at the other professors and made a decision. "Then, I will agree to Ilvermorny's request." She looked at everyone: "Can we find alternative spells to replace some of the remote magical effects?"

"Of course." Flitwick said sharply, "For example, the corrosion-like black magic here can be replaced by a softening spell, which can soften the scales of magical animals or hard stones."

"It works," Moody said gruffly.

"I'm fine," Felix said, "Also, we can change our thinking—it doesn't have to be imitation, but we can also find ways to prevent it, such as 'blood tracing', if students have the awareness to prevent tracing , can completely avoid this layer of danger in advance.”

……

After the meeting, the professors dispersed.

Felix took Snape to visit Flitwick's office.Flitwick brought some biscuits and tea, and while eating and drinking, several professors analyzed more than half of the black magic on the list.

Among the three, Flitwick is a master of spells with profound knowledge. The spells he masters are not limited to black magic and other categories, but Snape simply loves them. From his previous speeches at the meeting, we can see that Faintly showed this tendency.

As for Felix, he also spent time studying black magic, but the amount of discussion was not as good as the other two.

In fact, his strategy is very similar to Ilvermorny's - just pick the right ones.

The Fiercefire Charm is standard powerful black magic, but it is one of his best spells.Its power has reached a certain limit, except for the Iron Armor Curse, which is expected to exceed this level, the others are at most equal to the Fierce Fire Curse.

The next weekend, the Hogwarts reserve warriors gathered in a clearing between the Quidditch pitch and the Forbidden Forest, which was a temporary practice range.Students from the two schools will discuss and practice magic here.

But this has little to do with Harry and the others.

Professor McGonagall forbade them to participate. She just gathered a dozen candidates from the sixth and seventh grades, and ignored those who were underage.

"Why didn't you call us!" Ron complained.

"Because we are not prepared warriors at all, and apart from the little knowledge taught by Professor Moody, we have no experience in dealing with black magic." Hermione said loudly, also reminding a group of students who were about to move around.

"Who said," Ron muttered, "just find Professor Haipu's memory in classroom seven, choose the black market, and you'll see a room full of dark wizards—and every time it ends in chaos. "

Harry and Ron were not the only ones who were unwilling.

Neville, the Weasley twins, Susan Burns, Eddie Emilche all came, they hid in the shade of the trees, because they were not old enough, they could only watch the senior students and the Elfam Ni's reserve warriors sparring, and the professor as a guide.

"You look like abandoned little swallowtail dogs." A drawn-out voice came from behind them.

Feeling tired, Harry turned his head and glared at Draco Malfoy, not surprised to see that he was accompanied by two followers, Crabbe and Goyle.But there were two other people with Malfoy, and they were the Greengrass sisters.

To some extent, Astoria is more famous as her younger sister, especially when her hobby is walking around the Black Lake on a big snake mount.

Harry hadn't spoken to her, but Hermione had.Amazingly, she barely counts as Daphne Greengrass's friend, or rather, rival?Anyway, Harry couldn't figure it out, and the two started arguing when they met, but they didn't really fight.

And Hermione's view of Astoria is that a little girl spoiled by her family is very childish in her heart.The only thing that can be called an advantage is that she has no prejudice against Muggle-born wizards.

"Granger, I want to fight you on behalf of my sister!" Astoria pointed at Hermione and shouted.

But her arrogance was immediately suppressed by Daphne patting her head.

"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" said Harry grimly.

"Don't make me sound like you," Draco sneered, "If I want to see it, I'll do it openly, instead of hiding here like a group of wronged babies..."

He stopped talking, for all eyes were blazing, and a few had drawn their wands and looked at him maliciously.

"Let's go," said Draco Malfoy, "to say hello to my Ilvermorny friends!" He led the Slytherin students proudly towards the clearing.

"Victor and I have a good relationship. The Graves family has a great status in the American magic circle..." His triumphant voice drifted over from afar and entered their ears, making everyone's hearts itch.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and Fred suddenly said, "We also know people from Ilvermorny."

"That's right," Harry agreed immediately.

"Then..." Ron looked at the crowd eagerly.

"Go and see?" Fred said tentatively.

"Good idea." George replied without thinking.

After a moment of silence, the group of them walked towards the practice field with neat steps.
