A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 406 More Precious
In the third grade class, there is a wooden box studded with jewels on the desk.

"Why does it look familiar?" Ginny whispered.Next to her sat a little witch with fluffy hair, who looked like she was still awake.

Felix tapped the lid of the box with his wand, and the wooden box creaked open, revealing the rough wooden goblet inside. The moment it was revealed, the little wizards opened their eyes wide in unison. All the quills fell out.

"Goblet of Fire!?"

There was a uniform inhalation sound.A student yelled out in surprise, looking in disbelief at the quietly burning blue flame on the goblet.

Felix smiled. "Of course... no," he gasped.

"The Goblet of Fire has been extinguished. This is an imitation. When I was walking on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, I picked up a piece of wood. At that time, I was wondering how to arouse your interest..." He said with a smile: "So I thought, Take the opportunity of the competition to create a souvenir."

All the students sat upright, staring at him intently.

"Here's the prize for today's quiz. Just to be clear, the flames on it are not dangerous."

"Professor Haipu, is this Gublai Immortal Fire?"

"No, it's a kind of flame that burns forever, so it's also called the eternal fire," Felix explained, "Although I can also cast it, it's still quite time-consuming to operate..."

The students couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when they saw the professor's troublesome expression.

"Although it is not the ancient fire of immortal fire, it also has its own advantages." Felix added.

He poked his finger into the flame of the goblet, took out a cluster of small blue flames, watched it burn quietly in his hand, and it took a long time for it to gradually disappear.

When he looked up again, he bumped into pairs of eyes shining with stars.

He smiled slightly. It seemed that the one-time props that took 5 minutes to make worked well. The only problem was what name should be used next time. "Then, let's start today's quiz. Take out the 'answer parchment', and I will update the latest assessment information on it..."

The little wizards below took action one after another, spread out the answering parchment, tapped the tip of the staff, and recited the mantra silently. Soon, they found a new sign in the area of ​​the ancient rune——the shape happened to be made of simple ink lines Outlined Goblet of Fire.

Ginny quickly clicked on it. She wanted the Goblet of Fire model very much. At this moment, her hands were trembling with excitement, and she poked twice with her wand, so powerful that one wondered if she would puncture the thin parchment.

But so far no students have done this, because the professors have personally cast a powerful strengthening spell on it.

The Goblet of Fire logo on the answering parchment was lighted up unhurriedly, a dancing blue flame was burning from the mouth of the cup, and then a gift box with a blue bow tie was spit out from it, and the gift box continued to enlarge on the paper, In her surprised eyes, a blue light gathered from above the parchment, and then the parchment rolled into a swirling vortex, and the gift box slowly rose from the vortex, appearing in reality.

She recognized it as a work of magic, because the surface of the gift box didn't look real, shimmering with blue ripples.

She took a quick look around, and the others, including the confused Luna, were all staring at the rising gift box held up by the whirlpool. Although she was not sure if her good friend had escaped from her usual state, she did Pulled his wand from behind his left ear.

Ginny lightly touched Luna with her shoulder, "Who is faster!"

"Okay," Luna said, giving her a blank look before looking down to reveal a tiny braid in the shaggy hair.

The gift box was opened silently, and inside was a bronze book, which was locked.She tried the Unlocking Charm, but it didn't help. "I'm so stupid." She patted herself on the forehead, and used her wand to draw a few runes on the cover of the bronze book - which happened to be blank - and the lock disappeared without a sound.

Turning to the first page, there is a question written on it, "Your motto?"

She quickly wrote on it: "Attack like a lion." She didn't realize something was wrong until she finished writing. She stared at the light blue-green page for two seconds, but there was no change on it. She realized something, and quickly Translate this sentence into ancient runes.

Fortunately, she asked Luna this question before.

So the bronze book turned to the next page, and she took advantage of the gap to sneak a glance at Luna. Her answer was completely different from hers, but she also passed the level smoothly, which made Ginny realize that the answer was not unique.

She restrained her emotions and looked at the second page intently. On it was a string of scattered rune characters, and at the top was a sentence: "I was disrupted in order." She quickly recalled the above rune characters, and there was a She didn't know it, but she already knew the answer, a line from the text 'Gnar and the Clay Dolls'.

When she took a lot of effort and fiddled with the last deeply hidden ancient rune from the patterns on the pages, she let out a long sigh of relief. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Luna had turned to the third page. She couldn't help it. Stay anxious for a while.

As time passed, Felix sat very leisurely on the chair beside the podium, sorting out his rune book, standing up occasionally, walking around the classroom to see the progress of the students.

Luna is currently the fastest progressing, followed by Ginny and Colin Creevey, the name of the latter and his brother's 'Harry Potter Admirers Club', even he has heard of it, this is a bit weird The fan group has already absorbed many young wizards in the first and second grades, and after the end of the first competition project, the members have tended to spread towards the senior grades.

The performance of the three is slightly different.

Luna shook her head slightly, answering the questions in a leisurely manner, and sometimes adjusted the order of the sentences to make them as neat as possible.Ginny and Colin were sweating profusely, the youngest Weasley girl's fiery red hair stuck to her forehead.

"There are still 10 minutes, timeout will be counted separately." Felix reminded.

Ginny was sweating anxiously. There were only a few pages left in the bronze book in front of her, but it was getting harder and harder. She flicked her hair irritably, and it looked like an equally bright, jumping red flame , complementing the Goblet of Fire on the podium.

That's too late……

Ginny thought, Luna seems to have been quiet for a long time, has she finished her answer?Why didn't you hear the report?She forced herself to forget about it all, to eliminate distractions, and after 5 minutes, she finally finished the answer.

In an instant, the bronze book "哗啦啦" turned to the first page and finally closed, and a blue swirl appeared on the "answer parchment" again, and a large number of colorful fireworks and "bang bang" sounded from it.

The sudden noise made the little wizards raise their heads in a daze, and looked at Ginny's position.

"Oh, it seems that the first person to finish has appeared," and before she knew it, Felix was standing in front of her, holding a crude wooden replica of the Goblet of Fire with dazzling blue flames dancing on it, " Here, it's yours, Miss Weasley."

……

After class, the others gathered around Ginny enviously, asking her permission to touch the blue flame.

"It's so pretty... I just came close," said Colin Creevey ruefully. "I got to the last one, and you, Luna? You've always been good at it, and I thought you'd win! "

"I also stopped at the last question." Luna said in a singing voice.

"Well, that question is really difficult, maybe give me another five minutes..." Colin said regretfully, "You're lucky, Ginny... Ginny?"

Ginny was looking at Luna with scrutiny. She bit her lip and said softly, "Luna, did you 'stop' on the last question?"

"Oh, uh, yeah," Luna tossed her hair. "It's hard, isn't it? I've been thinking about it for a long time...it's so beautiful." She stared at the slightly protruding light silver eyes, looking at the said the Goblet of Fire.

"Want it? I can give it to you," said Ginny.

"Oh, what?" Luna waved her hands in a panic and said, "I don't need... because, because..."

"Because she already has something more precious." Felix said mildly aside. "Is that what you mean, Miss Lovegood?"

"Of course." Luna nodded hurriedly.
