A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 456 Trading
Let me enlighten others... Neville thought blankly, his heart suddenly felt heavy, it was the weight of responsibility.

He likes this feeling.

……

On the other side, Professor Marchban and old Vera were walking in the corridor of the castle.

"A very talented young man, when I proctored him, I realized that he would make a big difference!" Marchban said loudly.

Old Vera didn't seem to agree.

"You shouldn't take an archmage lightly," Professor Marchbane pointed out.

"Archmage...you say him?" Old Vera's eyes widened, and the little Professor Marchban looked at him without hesitation. He opened his mouth several times, but was defeated by her stern gaze.

"Don't tell me you don't follow the news, Heidström!" cried Professor Marchban.

Old Vera was speechless.If there is anyone in the entire wizarding world who pays the most attention to Felix's news, he will definitely be the number one. God knows what his expression was when his granddaughter dug out the set of comics from the study.

Isn't he worried that this kid will smash a few bricks of the ancient magic text building someday!
"His "Exploration of Ancient Runes", I just read it two days ago! It was at his level three years ago," Professor Marchban said bluntly: "It's more exciting than your runes introductory manual." !"

Old Vera opened her mouth to retort, but she had gone on, "I wrote to Babling! She wrote him full of praise!"

"That hybrid—" Old Vera frowned, and when he saw Marchban's stern gaze, he immediately shut up and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It seems that she was justified in refusing to join you!" She said dissatisfied.

Several students in the corridor looked over, and neither of them spoke, they went to the spiral staircase and went downstairs. "What day of the week is it?" asked Professor Marchbane.

"What? Uh, I think it's the week—ouch!" Old Vera was thinking of an answer when his foot sank into a step of the stairs and stuck him.

Hogwarts has many such tricky staircases.For students, getting past them has become an instinct, but old Vera hasn't come to school for more than half a century, and he clearly remembers that there was nothing unusual when he came here in the morning.

"Thursday, it turns out," said Professor Marchban thoughtfully.

……

When going to the auditorium for lunch at noon, Felix pasted the Experimental Spell Committee questionnaire handed over by Professor Marchban on the bulletin board in the foyer, and attached a bubble spell on the outside.

Then he waved his wand, and a piece of parchment flew out of the ring and was taped to the wall, with glowing writing on it.

After he left, the little wizards gathered around from a distance, reading the new notice:

Individual students, groups, and teachers who have researched the stable combination of ancient runes and spells can receive a questionnaire from the "Experimental Spells Committee", answer in detail as required, and send the papers to the Experimental Spells Committee. After review, they will be effective new spells After that, you will be awarded the honor of "Spell Inventor" and have the opportunity to obtain the right to name the spell.

The content and word count of the thesis refer to the article "Invention of a New Type of Spell: The Combination of the Water-making Spell and the Practical Ancient Rune 'Water Flow'" on the front page of the "Daily Prophet" on March 3. The template for the paper can be found in any rune Club members upon request.

Each person is limited to one questionnaire, which is not enough to copy other people's hands.

NOTE: This is the easiest and safest way to have your name printed on your textbook.

Come on!
Signed: Professor of Ancient Runes, Hogwarts, Felix Hemp. '

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

An excited voice came from behind them: "Warren! Look! We just finished the related paper yesterday!" Pat Selton, the seventh grader, pulled a Ravenclaw boy by the sleeve and squeezed forward, " Oh, Hermione, Harry, Ron, hello." Selton greeted.

"Hello." Warren Pardis also said, both of them were the first members of the Mowen Club.

Harry and the others greeted each other in a hurry.

"Printing my name on a textbook... sounds really attractive." Selton squinted and said, reaching out into the sticky bubble on the bulletin board, and slowly pulling out a piece of parchment from inside , Hermione sharply saw the official seal of the Ministry of Magic.

"Hey~ It's disgusting! The professor's bad taste!"

Selton withdrew her hand and said her fingers were clean.Pardis also took a copy, and the two left together.

"Let's hold on tight, or we'll have to borrow someone else's." Hermione said decisively, and they each took one.Standing not far from the crowd, he looked up.

Harry read the questionnaire, the first line above was a string of small print: 'Please fill in the name of the inventor of the spell truthfully, and make sure that everyone involved in the research and development of the spell is signed to avoid controversy:'

The first question is: Describe the principle of the spell in brief language.

The second problem is: describe the effect of the spell in brief language.

The third question is: Confirm the spell type: general practical spell/protection spell/jinx/poison spell/curse/breaking spell/transfiguration/other.

……

"Oops!" Ron yelled.

"What's wrong?" Harry and Hermione asked in unison, looking down at the question above.

"Look at the first line!" Ron squinted and read word for word: "'Ensure that everyone involved in the development of the spell is signed', it is 'all'." He looked at Harry meaningfully, "In In the club we combined the Rune of Light and the Curse of Fire..."

"Malfoy!" Harry gasped, his body chilling.

At this time, Draco Malfoy put his hands in his pockets, and led the two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, towards the notice board. "I heard my name being called..." Draco said, narrowing his eyes.

"Nothing!" said Harry and Ron at once.

Draco looked at them suspiciously.He stared at the bulletin board, tilting his head at Crabbe, who followed his gaze and stared back.

"Go get a copy." Draco ordered slowly, and Crabbe immediately squeezed into the crowd. Ron quietly tugged on Harry's sleeve, and Harry retreated knowingly.

"Wait, Potter!" Draco said.Harry turned his head back blankly, and looked at him coldly, "Say what you have to say, Malfoy."

Draco said: "I heard that Professor Haipu is giving you a little advice?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione tensed.Occlumency!The professor asked them to keep it secret, but Harry had been studying it for almost three months, and he reported to the Ancient Rune Office once a week, and he would always be seen a few times.

"So what? Are you jealous, Malfoy?" Ron said provocatively, taking the initiative to cover for Harry.

Draco glanced at him, lazily pulled out a small note from his pocket, and waved it.He grinned and said, "Sorry, I have it too."

"What?" said Harry impatiently, then startled. "You want to receive special training from Professor Haipu?" He couldn't help but shouted, and Ron and Hermione also showed incredible expressions.

"You can read it yourself, Potter." Draco was overjoyed, Harry snatched the note, and looked at the contents of the note with Ron and Hermione.

"It's true." Hermione said softly, she recognized the familiar writing on it at a glance.

At this moment, Crabbe pushed his way through the crowd and handed the questionnaire to Draco, who took a quick glance and stopped at the first line.

"Tut tut," he said.

Ron and Hermione looked up from the note, looking very frustrated and puzzled.Harry was still looking at the small print on it over and over again, as if trying to find a flaw.

"No name," said Harry suddenly.

"What did you say—" Draco's smile froze.

"No name," Harry repeated, looking at him suspiciously: "It doesn't mention the name of the spell, it just asks you to report to Professor Hemp's office every Saturday."

Draco paced up to Harry and said softly, "Because of the need for secrecy, but I can tell you, Potter..." His pale eyes sparkled, "It's Apparation and the Disappearance Charm."

He was satisfied to see Harry's shocked expression. "Yeah, this has always been your prerogative, hasn't it? You don't have to be punished for violating school rules recklessly, and you have fans everywhere you go, even the professors—"

"So you're jealous?" Harry met his eyes without avoiding it, repeating what Ron had said.

"You can think so," Draco actually admitted, snatching the note from Harry.Signing to Crabbe and Gore, he headed for the auditorium.

Harry stared at his back, silent.

"Who knows what he did to win Professor Happer's favor!" Ron looked at Harry worriedly, and said sharply, "Maybe his dad bought two hundred magic phonographs in one go!"

……

That evening, Felix was writing a letter in the office. He stretched out his index finger and tapped on the letter paper, and the writing on it disappeared little by little——

"Lucius, thank you for your reminder, your information is very useful. Remember: in the future, every change about the Dark Mark, no matter how minor, must remind me in time. In return, I will follow my promise and train your son Life-saving magic, starting this Saturday..."

He put the letter in an envelope, sealed it, stared at the blank envelope for a while, put it aside, and picked up a stack of manuscripts from the drawer.

This is a pamphlet about the introduction of runes that he plans to complete, and it is used to promote the use of runes.It contains a detailed analysis of the origin and development of ancient runes, and the most important lighting technique.

It is never easy to learn an ancient spell, even the simplest of lighting.In particular, Felix also intends to adopt a method similar to correspondence courses, which can usually only fool Squibs who have never learned magic.

But he insisted on a challenge.

The secret lies in the extreme familiarity with the lighting technique and the large-scale promotion of rune cards.According to Remus' data, a thousand sets of rune cards have been sold in England, covering almost [-]% of the potential buyers—that is, those families with young wizards who have not yet entered school.

Of course, this is inseparable from overwhelming advertising and low prices.

For wizards who lack entertainment, whether they are adults or children, rune cards are a good way to spend time.Of course, most parents just regard them as a kind of intellectual development toys-this concept was also put forward by the young people of the "Future World" company. In order to come up with an advertisement that satisfies the boss, they took great pains.

Time passed little by little, and the night gradually deepened.Sniffing Varun yawned, his small black eyes moved away from the comic book, blinking sleepily.

"Hawk! (Still asleep!)"

"Wait a little longer...Valen, don't worry about me." Felix smiled on his calm face, picked up another page of the manuscript, and continued to revise.

"Haw! Haw? (Waiting for that magic trick fool?)"

Felix laughed.

"Don't call me a fool. Andis shouldn't be using the Golden Galleon to perform magic tricks in front of you. You'll laugh at him even if you take it away..." He tapped Warren's pink beak and said. "It's Dobby," he explained.

"Chirp!" Varen got excited, took a sip of lemonade with a straw, and the shiny black fluff fluffed up all of a sudden, making it refreshed immediately. "Humph? (Is that rich man?)"

"Well, Dobby has been collecting gold buttons lately, if that's what you mean."

Finally, the little golden clock on the desk struck twelve.Almost at the same time, a copper Knut in Felix's hand became hot. This was Dobby's inquiry, and Felix waved his hand to disperse the warning magic in the room.After about half a minute—

"laugh!"

Dobby the house-elf suddenly appears in the office.

Varun's eyes widened, "Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Mr. Haip, hello!" Dobby bowed deeply, and said, he raised his head and greeted Warren happily, "Hello, Miss Warren!"

Varen was extremely happy, looking at Dobby expectantly, "Haw?"

Dobby carefully took out a polished metal button from the pocket of his small suit, and said sharply, "This is what Dobby collected, and it's for Miss Warren!"

Warren stretched out his small hand to take it, looked at it for a long time, then took out a golden vial from his pocket, and handed it to Dobby.

"Oh, Miss Warren is so generous!" Dobby said excitedly. He glanced at Felix, who was smiling at the side, and Dobby took it over and looked at it again and again.

"It's transparent! Look, it's so beautiful! Dobby has another gift!" Dobby put his eyes the size of tennis balls to the bottom of the bottle and looked around.

After a long time, Felix had to remind him, "Dobby, Lucius Malfoy is still waiting..."

"Oh..." Dobby sighed, and the two bat ears drooped down.It can be seen that he seems to have been avoiding mentioning this matter.

"Don't worry, he won't dare touch you," Felix said.

"Dobby knows that Dobby has the support of the great Mr. Hap! But Dobby has complicated feelings..." the house elf said, picking up the envelope from the desk for a long time, "I don't need to talk to him, do I?"

"No," Felix assured him. "You can drop the letter at his feet if you want."

"Oh~" It was obvious that Dobby was very moved, but he still refused, "Dobby is now representing Mr. Haipu, so there is no need for Dobby to be afraid of him..." He puffed up his chest and said arrogantly.

"Hawk! (Your leg is shaking!)" Varen held out a finger.

Felix was very thankful that Dobby couldn't understand what Warren was saying.

　I only wrote [-] words today, and I posted them together, and I will strive for the third update tomorrow!
