A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 431 Professor Tea Party

"Effective potions require the participation of the wand. Of course, it is not foolishly waving the wand non-stop. Just a slight wave at a critical moment is enough to cause wonderful changes in the materials in the crucible..."

"So Muggles can't experience this wonderful process, and neither can Squibs," Snape said slowly.

On the weekend of the first week of school, Professor Flitwick held an afternoon tea party under the pretext of celebrating Professor Moody's recovery, although in Felix's view, the tough former Auror didn't need these things .

Moody ate what he had brought without touching the exquisite tea on the table.

When he appeared here, it meant that Snape's short week of acting as a substitute was over.So when Felix asked about potions, Snape looked cold.

Snape sat on a soft chair, slowly talking about the topic just now: "We don't rule out the following situation: some simple potions can be spontaneously administered without the participation of a wand, or even the fine guidance of magic power. However, it is more similar to stimulating the original characteristics of potion materials, and in the eyes of those who really know potions, they are just getting a semi-finished product."

Felix understood that this was the case with the pet tonic formula he gave Filch - no wand was needed, the main ingredient was dragon's blood, and those auxiliary materials were only used to stimulate and moderate the characteristics of dragon's blood.

For wizards, the effects of some potions are similar to spells, and the choice of which one to use is related to the wizards themselves. In other words, they will choose the easiest or most effective method between potions and spells to achieve their goals.

Perhaps money is also an important consideration.

For example, the happy spell and the euphoria potion can replace each other in most cases. The happy spell is the teaching content of the third grade magic spells, and the euphoria potion is only available in the advanced potion improvement class of the sixth grade. This seemingly insignificant class of charms, it is not easy to learn the happy spell through self-study, especially the bad happy spell will produce side effects such as hysteria and endless laughter.

In this case, most wizards will choose to buy a euphoria potion at the pharmacy.

Flitwick waved his wand, causing an enamel teapot to bend down, and filled the cup in front of him, "I heard that some wizards choose to use magical rituals instead of wands when brewing potions, Severus?"

"There are also repeated spells..." Snape said, "this kind of situation usually happened in the Middle Ages. Some superficial wizards couldn't control their own magic power, so naturally they couldn't guide and control it finely - no different from Squibs , so they choose this way."

Felix muttered: "I seem to have read a similar statement somewhere."

"I guess it's a Muggle fairy tale? There are indeed some wizards who were not cautious enough to be discovered and then burned to death." Snape glanced at him and said.

"That's a long time ago, and we'd better talk about something else," said Professor McGonagall uneasily, turning away. "Professor Moody, are you going back to class next Monday?"

"It's been dragging on for long enough," Moody said, biting into a piece of dull-looking chicken, "I planned to solve all the troubles during the holidays and not miss the class, but Professor Heppe insisted on finishing the last round of inspections... ..."

"Has your memory recovered yet?" Professor McGonagall asked him, but looked at Felix.

"Voldemort's methods are very rough, and Professor Moody lost more memories than I initially estimated, maybe because Voldemort's soul was also impregnated with black magic?" Felix said softly.

"At least I haven't turned into an idiot, have I?" Moody grumbled, and with a short laugh, reached for the glass on the table with his oily hand, and when his fingertips touched the glass, he felt like It stopped like an electric shock.

Moody silently took off the flagon from his waist and gulped it down.After finishing the drink, he dressed roughly and said, "I lost the original one, and this one is brand new, and Albus gave it to me...he is very considerate in these things."

"Actually, it still has an impact," Felix thought, "not only is it a memory problem, but his reaction will also slow down, and his combat effectiveness will not be as good as before. '

What he did during this time was to eliminate the adverse effects as much as possible.

Gritting his teeth, Moody tore off a piece of chicken and chewed, the skin on his face trembling.He said nonchalantly: "Compared to old Barty, I'm already considered good. His body is broken, and he probably won't last a few years in Azkaban."

"Barty Crouch is in?" Flitwick asked sharply.

Several people looked over, and Moody said harshly: "Yes, Kingsley told me that he insisted on doing this. Before being taken to prison, Barty and Fudge talked alone—" Seeing other people With a strange look in his eyes, he waved his hand roughly, almost hitting Flitwick on the nose. "Oh—sorry, Professor Flitwick—don't ask me, I don't know what they said, maybe it has something to do with Voldemort?"

"Whether Fudge will believe it or not, no one knows." He took another gulp and said, "That man looks indecisive, but he's actually paranoid and wishful thinking. But anyway, he doesn't seem to want to cause too much panic, After suppressing Batty's affairs, many people thought he had retired!"

He grinned sarcastically.

"I can't listen to him. Some things must be reminded to everyone. It's better than knowing nothing when it comes to the end—"

"Professor Moody," Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "You, uh, you don't mean to do something to the little wizard, do you? Some of the previous actions..." She cleared her throat quickly, with an embarrassed expression.

"You mean what 'me' did before? I didn't take some of the classes, but they did suit me—" Moody gave another short laugh, and said with a contorted expression: "He imitated it quite like , I taught him for a while, and that may be part of the reason."

The others stared blankly at Moody.

Moody laughed and said, "Barty Sr. wants to train his son to be an Auror. So Crouch Jr. has been training with those candidates since the fourth grade—longer than the average Auror training. Wait until When he graduated, his grades were way ahead."

"I remember he took twelve certificates," Flitwick recalled. "Since I have taught, there have only been a handful of people who have received this honor."

"I'm not talking about the grades on paper, but the collective evaluation of the Aurors! I also taught him some things-the part of detecting and setting traps. At that time, everyone thought that Crouch Jr. would become a Brilliant Auror, take over from me!" Moody exclaimed.

All are slightly unwell.The better Barty Crouch Jr. performed during his school days, the more he would be in stark contrast to his subsequent changes—he did not become an Auror, but chose to become a Death Eater.

Flitwick changed the subject and said: "Felix, I like the gift you gave me very much. I have already seen it. I have to say that some African gestures are very good and can be used as auxiliary techniques. I am already planning to add them next year. in the lecture content."

Felix smiled and said, "I entrusted several friends with a list of books they recommended to me..."

Professor McGonagall frowned and said: "The teaching method of Waggadu is very different from that of Hogwarts. The students there will determine the research direction very early, so it is possible to disassemble and organize a lot of advanced content. Scattered, integrated into the teaching of lower grades, but Hogwarts can't do it, the students who really choose transfiguration in the sixth grade only account for a very small part."

"What about the body morphing part? Maybe in your morphing club?" Felix suggested.

"It's really a good way," said Professor McGonagall. "My club only recruits students in grades [-] and [-]. They have gone through the OWLs exams, and many skills have been mastered naturally, just like the 'pre-knowledge' you mentioned. '?"

She uttered a difficult word, and continued, "However, there is not much knowledge about transformation in Waggadu outside, and the transformation of African elephants is very common, but if the innate conditions are not enough, it may only become a malnourished animal." From this point of view, it is not as good as Animagus..."

Felix said in agreement: "After all, Animagus has a certain degree of randomness, which is related to the psychological state of each wizard. If you become a snail, you might as well choose an African elephant."

Professor McGonagall looked over sternly: "Felix, you haven't learned Animagus in private, have you?"

"How is that possible?" Felix curled his lips. "If you are a wizard who is interested in studying Transfiguration, you can experience the mysteries of Transfiguration while transfiguring, but I am not... I think the cost performance of this magic is too low."

　There is still a chapter that is being revised, and it is estimated that it will be released before one o'clock.
