A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 558 Grilled Fish
"It has nothing to do with you," Mafalda said, poking his neck.

"Well," Harry said indignantly, "what story are you going to make up again? Harry Potter's secret army? Or Hermione Granger's ambitious recruitment of an army of house-elves, determined to overthrow the Ministry of Magic? ?”

"Sounds good," said Mafalda, filling out the registration form quickly. "By the way, your outfits are ugly, like two mummies..."

"Never mind." Ron said angrily. "I'm warning you, don't point fingers at us, and you are not allowed to arrange Harry again, otherwise I will deduct points for you, and I will do what I say! Don't think that you are my relative, so I will let you—"

Hermione pulled Ron's clothes, Ron stopped uncomfortably, and said reluctantly, "I did it for her own good, she did too much..."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice intervened, "It seems that this surname doesn't give you much favor, does it? It's just a waste of effort."

"What are you trying to say?" Mafalda clenched his fists and glared at Draco Malfoy.

"Pewett," Draco said softly, his gray eyes fixed on the taut Mafalda, "you said you were a distant branch of the Prewett family, but as far as I know, the Prewett There are not many descendants of Te's descendants, and there are no children of the right age..."

Mafalda flinched and dodged her eyes, her body trembling slightly.

"Malfoy, you really haven't changed at all, you're just bullying a little girl." Harry couldn't see it and chimed in, and he regretted it as soon as he said the words, what are you talking about, he really hates these two people.

The expression on Draco's face froze, "Just tell the truth."

Mafalda calmed down, and she changed the subject cleverly: "Where's your girlfriend, Malfoy? She can't take her eyes off your pointed chin for a moment, my God, it's been almost 5 minutes, she Won't you faint?"

Draco said slowly, "You mean Pansy? She's off to her prefect duties."

"I don't think so." Mafalda said slyly and meanly, "I just saw that she was going to confiscate a butterbeer bottle from a student, and the bottle exploded on the floor and ignited her beautiful clothes. Oh, she's really unlucky..." She turned and ran away.

Draco narrowed his eyes, then set his sights on Harry, "So you're famous again, Potter?" He tilted his head to one side, and Harry knew it was from the 'Harry Potter Fan Club' direction.

"Yeah," Harry said numbly, he knew Malfoy would not let go of the opportunity to taunt him, some time ago Malfoy was out of his mind all day, he thought something would change.

"Fame is always rising, and I can't stop it. I'm actually quite distressed."

Ron laughed.

Draco looked at him, "If I were you, I would go home and look up the family tree, so as not to be mistaken for relatives...if you have that thing in your house." He turned and left.

"What does he mean?" Ron frowned, staring at Draco's back.

Hermione sighed, and she carefully glanced at Neville and Ginny not far away, not letting her voice spread out.

"You don't think Mafalda's real last name is 'Pwett'?"

"Why not—" said Ron, and his eyes widened.

Harry's mind turned quickly. Mafalda's father was Mrs. Weasley's distant cousin, and Mrs. Weasley's surname was Prewett before marriage. What does this mean... He quickly found a template for comparison—— Dudley and him.The two of them are cousins, but one of them is named Dursley and the other is named Potter. If Dudley has a child in the future, his child will only be named Dursley, not something else, such as Potter...

It occurred to him that Mafalda had said that his father was a Squib, and that a Squib was looked down upon in wizarding circles.Harry almost instantly thought that Mafalda's father suffered a lot of discrimination when he was a teenager, so he didn't want his daughter to be like him. Harry firmly believed that he would do something as a father, what was it?Change a surname, the surname of a sacred 28 pure-blood family.

The disgust for Mafalda in Harry's heart instantly subsided, replaced by sympathy.

Ron's reaction was a bit slow, but he also thought of what Harry had just thought of. He opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, and the three of them tacitly stopped discussing this topic.But at this moment, Harry suddenly felt that the idea of ​​pure blood was downright stupid.

Harry remembered what Nearly Headless Nick had said.

Professor Haip never talked about his origin, but this did not prevent him from becoming the banner of Slytherin House, and students in other colleges also liked him very much, but Harry didn't know if it was because Professor Haip stayed behind every time. The reason is that there are relatively few homework...

"I said, stop thinking about it, come and help before you take off your ridiculous hats." Hermione raised her waist again and said in a teaching tone.

Harry and Ron showed their faces reluctantly, Ron didn't want his name to be seen printed under 'vomit', and Harry just wanted to stay away from the Creevey brothers.He took a sneak peek, and the "Harry Potter Fan Club" behind him was empty, leaving only an empty brown curtain.

Can't recruit people?Harry thought expectantly, as Ginny stalked over, "They're done with their presents."

"What?" Harry asked in bewilderment.

"Gift." Ginny said calmly: "As long as you become a member of the club, you can get a whole set of photos of you for free. I think the photos are pretty good."

Harry glared at her. "You wouldn't also—"

Ginny shrugged and admitted generously: "It's just a registration form, and it's actually a good deal for those in need."

Harry's face suddenly felt like it was on fire, and he couldn't speak.

"My set is under the table, you can take a look." Ginny covered her mouth and chuckled, "I went to Luna's, she found a bunch of butterbeer plugs somewhere, and planned to make some necklaces... ...Well, I really have to persuade her."

Harry sat down slowly against the table, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a large box on which he was blinking playfully.

……

Felix squatted in front of a booth. In front of him, seven or eight boxes were lined up in a row, and all of them were neatly piled up with dolls of different shapes.He looked over from the first row, and the dolls were obviously more jerky, and the proportions of the characters were still a bit uncertain, and it could be seen that there were shadows of magic puppets, which might be the early works of the creators.Starting from the second row, it is much better, more refined, and there are many other shapes. A vivid Bowtruckle walks around on the box, except that its head is a bit crooked, and the leaves will glow. Lex couldn't find anything else wrong with it.And those glowing leaves are embedded with ancient runes.

"Did you use the 'sedation' circuit?" Felix asked with interest.

"Yes, professor." Cedric was a little nervous, "I moved the contents of the twelve amulets I saw in class to this, and the effect is not bad." He said a jerky pronunciation, A leaf on the Bowtruckle suddenly burst into light, and the expressions of several people shrouded in the halo—Felix, Cedric, and Qiu Zhang—became peaceful.

"It's a bit strong," Felix commented.

Cedric smiled, "I occasionally use it when I practice the rune, it can calm my restless emotions."

Felix nodded.

Then Cedric introduced him to the dolls on the shelf one by one, "These are made by imitating magic puppets, but there are always problems with some connection parts, and the movements are not so smooth... Later I designed more models, not limited to fighting On the one hand, like this doll dog doll whose only purpose is to do somersaults."

"The expression on its face was vivid," Felix said.

"I combined a part of Transfiguration," Cedric explained. "Using the rune circuit to store magic power can last for a long time. It feels more convenient than alchemy."

Felix thought for a moment and asked, "Have you thought about where to work after graduation?"

Cedric said honestly: "I haven't thought about it yet."

"What do Mr. and Mrs. Diggory think?"

"The family wanted me to go to the Ministry of Magic, my father worked in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures," Cedric said, "but Collins suggested that I join the Auror team, and Fred and George, they invited me to their Magic Wheezes... but I'm not too interested in either."

"What about your own thoughts?"

Cedric looked at the doll on the table with gentle and focused eyes.

"That would be nice too," said Felix understandingly.

The conversation with Cedric has benefited him a lot.He realized that another sub-discipline of ancient runes appeared, combining ancient runes and transfiguration, which may cover alchemy, memory magic and other fields in the future. He only needs a little push... Golemology?
Felix has also made many magic puppets himself, but obviously he doesn't intend to study it further, and it is the most ideal result to give this knowledge to someone who is worthy.

Felix finally suggested that Cedric go to the penultimate row of the restricted area of ​​the library, "Remember to keep 'enthusiasm'." He reminded before leaving.

"What's the meaning of Professor Haipu's last sentence? Is it pure encouragement?" Qiu Zhang looked at Cedric in puzzlement, she didn't think so.

Cedric obviously thought so too. He pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said excitedly: "I think it's this." He raised his hand, and outlined a rune in the air, and the next second the rune symbol became A group of colorful and beautiful clouds danced in his palm, which looked like he was holding a flowing aurora.

"I guess Professor Haipu left some information there, and the 'Enthusiasm' rune is the key." Cedric said with certainty.

"How did you think of it?" Qiu Zhang said happily.

Cedric faltered: "I told you, Fred and George have been hiding things in the castle in different ways recently. I know something about it. One of the ways to open the treasure point is to use an ancient weapon against a suit of armor. Rune recites Latin poems, of course, hitting the armor's stomach seventeen or eight times can also achieve the goal..."

Felix continued to stroll around the auditorium in a happy mood. Not only the students, but also many professors were very interested in this.The burly Hagrid and Muggle Studies Professor Bubaji stopped in front of a Muggle movie poster.

Professor Bubaji was talking quickly, but Hagrid was obviously absent-minded. He kept staring at the poster: an old monkey stood on a protruding rock, holding up a newborn lion cub , Under the rocks are bowed beasts.

Hagrid asked in a low voice, "Cartoon? Is it for children?"

The student swallowed, "Adults can watch it too, I think it's quite interesting."

"So—er," said Hagrid, waving his arms, "where can I see it? With a magic projector?"

"'Future World' company has it, and Professor Haipu has also shown the film in class." The student whispered.

"Sounds good," Hagrid muttered, "do you have any good advice if I wanted to show a - er - creature much bigger than me?"

"Oh, I think..." the student trilled, looking terrified, "Our club doesn't consider taking members that big..."

"Hello, Hagrid," Felix couldn't help but interjected.

Hagrid turned his head and said happily: "Great! Felix, I just thought of a good idea, if I can make little Gramp—" His face suddenly turned red, and even the woolen hat and The beard on the chin can't be covered, "Ahem, I mean, if you show it to the big man in the Forbidden Forest, the effect will be good, at least you can lose your temper less..." He muttered.

"You can write and ask Remus, I remember that the company is testing new products and needs a lot of feedback," Felix said.

Hagrid left happily.

As soon as Hagrid left, Professor Bubaji came over.

She took out a bulging envelope from her body, and said angrily, "Professor Haipu, pass it on to that big talker for me, and I'll make him admit his mistake on his own initiative!"

Felix blinked, "Caredy, some of his words are quite reasonable."

"But he's so arrogant," said Professor Bubbaji angrily, "like I'm a kid who doesn't understand anything, listen, 'Only a fool would abandon the identity of a wizard', 'Technology can't be used by wizards. If you don’t use it, then it’s only a threat’, Professor Haipu, who is your pen pal? I really want to have a good chat with him face to face!”

Snape, who pretended to be passing by, froze. He stopped in silence, and turned his head to look at the stall in front of him. It was a wooden shelf covered with cushions, and there were grilled fish stuck in it. Eyes met his.

"Would you like a bunch, Professor Snape?" a little girl asked bravely.

Snape looked away from the dead fish's eyes, stared into Eleanor Branstone's face, and said coldly, "No need, Miss Branstone."

On the other side, Felix was patiently explaining to Professor Bubaji why his pen pal was unwilling to show up: "Caredy, you should know that in reality there are always some people who are withdrawn, dull-spoken, and extremely repulsive when dealing with people... "

Professor Bubaji showed a skeptical expression, "Really? His language in the letter is quite sharp."

"Some people like to communicate through text and think more carefully." Felix said with a shrug.

Eleanor Branstone couldn't help but curiously looked at Snape who looked like a sculpture, wondering if Professor Snape couldn't save face, she took out a small pot from her body, and pulled out a blue wind chime with her wand Grass-like flames, the flames circled the grilled fish twice, and the aroma overflowed in an instant.

Snape's nose twitched slightly.

Eleanor Branstone looked at him encouragingly, as if waiting for him to speak, but Snape took two steps back with a cold face, revealing Warren who was attracted by the scent.

"Walking Niffler!" cried Eleanor Branstone, pointing to Warren.

Varen proudly puffed out his chest, blinked his black eyes, and stretched out a little finger to point at the grilled fish on the rack.

Eleanor Branstone smiled and handed it one.

Warren jumped onto the table and gave Snape a strange look. Seeing that he didn't respond, he happily ate.

so delicious~
"Hey, Varen, have you come here?" After chatting with Professor Bubaji, Felix turned around and chased Varun to the booth.He stared at the grilled fish and said to himself: "It looks good, do I have to sign up for it?" He lowered his head and asked Eleanor.

"You can also help distribute leaflets." Eleanor carefully pointed to a few students not far away. They came from different colleges, but they all had a common feature: a grilled fish in one hand and a flyer in the other.

"Sounds fair," Felix said hesitantly. "Shall I wrap the recipe, I know of a secret sauce that tastes quite... Severus?" he asked in surprise.

Snape looked at him blankly.

"Of course, I heard that you are the developer of the 'Fish Bone Curse'—" Eleanor said.

"Stop, don't talk about it." Felix took out a piece of parchment from the ring with a straight face, "One hand for the fish and the other for the recipe, deal?"

Eleanor Branstone blinked, "Deal." She glanced at Snape and handed over two grilled fish, "The extra is for you, Professor, you can give it to anyone you want. "

"Oh, thank you." Felix took it, took a bite from one of the grilled fish skewers, then turned to look at Snape with a smile, "Would you like to try it? I can assure you, it's delicious."

　A little bit about this episode:
　　1. Mafalda is derived from Rowling’s discarded character, because foreign cousins ​​and cousins ​​are all the same word, so Mafalda’s surname is actually not sure (I didn’t find it myself), and the domestic materials are uniformly translated into cousins , I also used it in this way, and derived the plot in the book, which I personally think is more interesting;
　　2. The content of these two days is about the student club. The reason is that Felix does not want the students of Slytherin House to be isolated because of the war. It is difficult to mention the details when writing.

　　In order to avoid water, a lot of useful information is interspersed between these two chapters: such as the new trend of classroom No. [-]; Peeves represents the will of the students; Magic Alliance; Mafalda's life experience; magic puppetology, a branch of ancient runes, and hints that Professor Bubaji discussed some issues with Grindelwald under the lead of Felix.
