A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 4 Felix's Theory

Felix seemed a little puzzled, and asked, "I don't understand, Principal?"

Dumbledore put his hands in front of him, showing a scrutinizing gaze, "I mean, you have a great future, but you have been obsessed with returning to Hogwarts! I want to know why."

The meaning of the principal is obvious, you already have a good reputation, you have graduated three years ago, and you have written three books, each of which is quite wonderful.Especially the two books on Muggle studies, although they didn't sell well - at least compared to another professor he interviewed - who was also a writer, but the sales of the two works were simply terrible don't.

But it is undeniable that the influence of these two books is extremely extensive. One "Muggle's Struggle History: From Millions of Years Ago" and "How Muggles Think" have become famous books in the world. A guide to some Ministry of Magic departments dealing with Muggle issues.

At least Dumbledore discussed some of the contents of the books with friends, including both the Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division and members of the Wizengamot, who were also full of praise for both books.

Felix thought for a while and said: "Principal Dumbledore, I have a lot of affection for Hogwarts, it is my home, it makes me feel kind! Moreover, I am also willing to teach students, this is a Very fulfilling thing…”

Dumbledore interrupted him, his blue eyes were full of sharpness, and it was impossible to tell that it was the eyes of a centenarian. "We all know that's not true. I want to know what you really think. It's very important. It's related to whether you will get a teaching position."

Felix was sweating a little.He subconsciously launched the Occlumency Technique, and then stopped.

This is not a wise decision.Occlumency isn't a panacea, especially if you're at a lower level, let alone facing arguably the greatest wizard of the century.

Fortunately, he had a plan before coming, and made some small preparations for it——

For example, a few drops of Felicia.

After thinking for just two seconds, he decided to follow his intuition and "tell the truth".

Felix finally spoke, and he said sincerely, "In order to study the mysteries of magic more deeply."

Dumbledore nodded, pretending to be listening.

"Principal, you have been my principal from the time I entered school until I graduated, so you should have a certain understanding of my experience. Before the fifth grade, I spent a lot of time in magic practice in order to deal with some troubles, and ignored Some theoretical subjects." That was the truth, and he kept it with urgency in order not to get beaten and sapped.

"At that time I was looking for power, the power of a single spell, but I was wrong. It wasn't until the last two years of school, when I finally had time to appreciate the mysteries of magic, that I realized what I was missing." It is also true that while his golden finger helped him become stronger quickly, it also led him in the wrong direction—one-sided pursuit of the power of magic, while ignoring the importance of theory.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his tone became gentle again, and at the same time he was a little curious, "So, your research direction is ancient runes?"

This is not difficult to guess. After all, apart from Muggle studies, one of Felix's three books is "Exploration of Ancient Runes".Muggle studies, on the other hand, cannot be called the study of magic.

"That's right! The more you study magic, the more you cannot do without ancient runes, especially when you need to go back to the source and study ancient magic, you can't do without it. I only discovered it in the sixth and seventh grades. This, but unfortunately, in my OWLs exam, the ancient rune is only A, so I can't continue to study, so I can only choose self-study." This is even more true, and it is a mistake made by Felix when he was young and ignorant.

Felix continued, under the effect of Felicia, his intuition became sharper, and his sentences became smoother and smoother, "I do have selfish intentions, Hogwarts has the largest library in the world, and there are many books about ancient magic in it. Wen's books."

"But on the market—"

"I have read all the books on the market. Unfortunately, most of them are theories, but too little practice-they seem to simply regard the ancient rune as a language, and only use it to translate the manuscripts of the predecessors. And they are studying the Muggles. During the process, I unexpectedly had a new inspiration, and I tried to combine the two! As you know, ancient runes are also essential knowledge for alchemy."

Dumbledore was intrigued. "You mean—if I hear you right, you want to combine alchemy with Muggle items?"

Felix seemed a little excited, and he talked eloquently, "Yes, but this is only the initial stage, that is, transforming Muggle items and turning them into magic items. For example, an air conditioner is a cooling device that can keep indoors The temperature is constant in a comfortable range. Muggles need to be driven by electricity—that is, a kind of energy—and it is easier to convert it into a magic product. The core is a freezing spell, plus a detection spell.”

"Of course, the issue of stability needs to be considered, and this requires the use of ancient runes."

"And what I'm doing now is going a step further, combining the wisdom of Muggles with the magic of wizards. You know, Muggles always have a lot of novel ideas, and some of their ideas are difficult to turn into reality. But if you add magic to it, it's easy!"

Dumbledore nodded, and commented: "The first step is transformation, the second step is creation, brilliant idea."

The two discussed this issue for a long time, and after three full hours, Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses.He was really immersed in the discussion with Felix just now. It can be said that Felix is ​​one of the most outstanding students he has come into contact with in the past few decades.

Especially with my own suggestion, after three years of precipitation, this student exploded with brilliant sparks!

Even though he's a Slytherin.

Too bad he's a Slytherin!
Dumbledore was silent, he was hesitating, time seemed to go back 50 years ago.

So much alike, so much alike!
Born in the same Muggle orphanage, the same Slytherin, the same excellent and polite, and the same obsession with power, how should he choose?
Time has proved that his choice decades ago may have been wrong. If he hadn't used magic flames to force the young man to admit his mistakes, if he had cared more back then, and even if he had discovered his wolfish ambition earlier, maybe there would not have been a The terrifying Dark Lord.

What about now?
It seems that the same choice is in front of him again, how should he decide?
The old man was in a trance. Looking at the young, handsome and outstanding student opposite, he seemed to see the shadow of another person.

Voldemort!
On the other hand, Felix seemed a little puzzled. I was telling the truth, although I was telling the truth selectively.We had a good chat just now, why is Dumbledore looking complicated and sad now?

What did he say wrong?
Sting him?

What is going on?
Felix is ​​having a headache!
