A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 642 Transformation of Fiction and Reality
Before the Christmas holiday, the last ancient rune class of the fifth grade was changed to free activities. The students opened "Practical Rune Elementary" and chatted enthusiastically.

Colin Creevey took out a list, swearing that it was the Animagus deformation form of the students in the 'Animagus Class'.He read aloud the names on the list, glancing at Professor Hemp each time he uttered them, hoping for a response.

But Felix was busy playing cards with a few students, so he didn't see his wandering eyes.

Varun sat in his arms, looked at the same deck of cards with him, and kept coming up with ideas with great interest. "Are you sure you got this one?" Felix lowered his head and asked, Varun nodded firmly, and stretched out his fingers again, yes, that's it.

"Disarm you," said Felix.

The student on the opposite side, Newman Balk, grinned loudly, and lifted a hole card that had been ambushed for three rounds—"The Humanoid Iron Armor Curse, I used concealed casting, so the defense was successful." He said triumphantly, and then put A full hand was played.

"Quickly imprison—professor, you are imprisoned, you can't fight back—thunderbolt explosion! Add another eye sickness spell, hehe, it's control again...Look at this again, the flames are raging."

Felix watched sourly as his little figure exploded in anger.Valen covered his eyes.

Newman Balck and another student high-five.

On the other hand, Creevey read to the end. "... Draco Malfoy - the white peacock; Elvira - the fox; Harry Potter - the lion, I'm not surprised at all, Harry pulled out in the second year The Sword of Gryffindor..." he said fervently.

"Fake news," Ginny whispered to Luna a few tables away, "Harry said he has more feelings for stags." Luna was building blocks with physical runes, trying to piece together the shape of the trophy. He raised his head unhurriedly, "Patron Saint?"

"An interesting subject, isn't it?" Ginny shook her hair and said, "It's a pity that the samples are too small. Both the Animagus and the Patronus Charm are extremely rare, and there are not many people who have mastered them at the same time in history..."

"Many people in the club can release Patronus." Luna said vaguely.

"We're special." Ginny immediately said sharply. "There haven't been many incidents of stray dementors hurting people in the past few hundred years. Until the third year—" she became angry, "it's all Umri's fault. Strange that woman! Hearing that the mysterious man destroyed her brain, I am really happy!"

Luna paused, her expression thoughtful.

"My father said that the mysterious man has an unusual relationship with dementors. He may have disguised himself as a dementor when he was young, and then secretly learned two tricks. You know, the kiss of a dementor..."

Ginny froze for a moment, then giggled happily, "Ouch—"

After a long time, she straightened her body, her face was tense, and she said seriously: "You are right, Luna. Why didn't I realize before——You-Know-Who's clothes are so similar to the Dementor's cloak, even All in shape... Maybe he misses the carefree days."

"The nose and hair are also evidence," Luna said earnestly, "if you've paid attention."

Ginny laughed stupidly. She lay on the table and shrugged her shoulders. Luna looked at her curiously, looking confused and puzzled, but she still patted Ginny on the shoulder, and then continued to write the runes. The blocks are gone.

After class, the students filed out, and many people who went home for the holidays greeted Felix in advance.

"See you next year, Professor Haipu!"

"See you next year."

After everyone was gone, Felix breathed a sigh of relief and played cards all morning, because he and Varen had completely opposite ideas, and the result of mixing together was more losses than gains, so he decided to let Valen occupy a place alone in the afternoon. They can team up against other students.

"Haw?"

Varun climbed up to where Luna was sitting before, and curiously looked at the trophy made of runes left on the table. It was crumbling, and the shadow of the Goblet of Fire could be seen faintly from its shape.

Felix picked up the rune trophy and had an idea in his mind. He thought of Luna's thesis. The idea was roughly correct. It was somewhat similar to the rune creature he had conceived, but it was not easy for Luna to realize it. There is too much knowledge involved.

But that didn't stop Luna from receiving a talking trophy as a Christmas present.

Half an hour later, a gleaming trophy appeared in front of Felix. Its main body was composed of ancient runes and blank memory fragments, and it could flexibly transform between virtual and real.Usually it can be stored in the Ring of Ouroboros.

Staring at the trophy, he cleared his throat and asked, "What would Felix Hemp like for Christmas?"

"A magic book, an insight, and a painting," answered the trophy.

"Then what doesn't he want to receive?"

"Pumpkin mask, blimp plum earrings and vine cape covered in glowing sequins."

"Excellent." Felix said with satisfaction, and decided to hurry up and send it out.Varun listened for a long time, and finally understood who sent those strange gifts.

They descended the stairs, and the Great Hall looked very grand, with twelve Christmas trees gleaming with silver frost and tiny icicles, and faintly singing if you got close, with mistletoe and holly between them. The sash is connected, and there are flower fairies dancing, and their transparent wings sprinkle pieces of silver light.

The ceiling also became different, and the enchanted snow fell down one after another, getting into the necks of the students, feeling cool.

The table was messy and lively as usual.But Felix keenly caught the embarrassment of some students, they were students of Animagus.Looking at the beef pie, ribs and vegetable soup on the table, Neville sighed deeply, grabbed a piece of dry bread, and tore into small bites to eat.The aggrieved look on his face is reminiscent of the ghost 'Nearly Headless' Nick.

After a few seats, Harry couldn't eat.Ron stared at the food in front of him, then looked away with great determination, as if he had a grudge against them, and Hermione sipped the porridge carefully, chewing slowly.

"Hermione, try this, it's delicious!" Lavender Brown gloated as he ate the creamy apple pie.Throughout lunch, she tempted Hermione with delicious food, laughing and cuddling with Parvati whenever Hermione sternly refused her.

"I'd love to turn her into a big-mouthed frog!" said Hermione angrily when Lavender left.

"No, you can't," said Harry feebly, who was terribly hungry now, "the first few people who did this got a hundred points plus detention for the entire Christmas period, without exception. Professor McGonagall nearly went mad."

"Yeah, it's said that Snape was humming with joy." Ron said unluckily, "We've completely missed the Academy Cup this year."

All the 'Animagus' students underestimated the difficulty of stuffing a leaf in their mouths - including Felix himself, it wasn't an hour or two, or a day or two, but a whole month.When he checked with Professor McGonagall last weekend, they found that all the students were almost wiped out.

The reasons they gave are also strange, some accidentally slipped it down while drinking soup, some chewed the ribs while biting the leaves, and some accidentally blew them out when talking loudly, or even molared their teeth while sleeping, and the leaves were second The sky disappeared without a trace.The few students who took out the leaves turned out to be cheating, and they just grabbed a leaf from the Christmas tree in the auditorium before they came.

Felix was amazed.Professor McGonagall accepted these reasons very calmly, and gave him a demonstrative look. Felix guessed that it probably meant, 'It's so rare...'

"If there's no other way," said Ron gritted his teeth as he stood up, "we'll just have to try Sirius." He meant Stunning and Petrification, or Slimy Jaw Curse also works.

Neville gave him a sad look, "Okay," he said softly.

The two of them have in common that they snore a lot. When they woke up the morning before yesterday, Ron and Neville found that the blade of grass was missing from their mouths at the same time. The former found the innocent blade on the pillow, while the latter only A little green debris can be seen between the teeth.

Harry was a little better off than they were, at least he didn't snore much, so when he woke up the leaf was still in his mouth, but it was broken in two in the middle, and the section was neat.He is still investigating why.

Among them, Hermione was the only one who refused to disclose any news about her leaf, but Harry thought that since Hermione didn't take the initiative to raise her hand to answer questions these days, it was enough to show the seriousness of the problem.

As they left the Great Hall, Ron plucked a Christmas tree branch and said pessimistically, "It's going to be useful sooner or later." Hermione didn't raise any objections.

In the afternoon, Felix showed up in the greenhouse for the herbal medicine class.

Professor Sprout was still in the same unkempt attire, with a patched hat slanted over his flowing gray hair, and a lot of mud on his clothes-in a word, in stark contrast to the well-organized greenhouse.

"Felix!" she said enthusiastically, "Minerva told me that a total of 23 mandrake leaves are needed, right?"

"Well—that's right," said Felix. "There's actually another thing." But Professor Sprout was already dragging his chunky body towards the back of the greenhouse, waving a pair of huge scissors .

She said cheerfully, "We'd better get some fresh fronds, every few years Minerva begs for some for the students... but never so many as this year - here we are, and there happen to be a few Mandrakes The branches need pruning, it has been growing for almost four years."

Felix followed and came to a separately marked area.

Seven or eight fully grown mandrakes were lush, about the height of a small shrub, planted in pots the size of Hagrid's enchanted pumpkins, and he could clearly hear the purring one after another. "Be quiet, they are sleeping, and it will be dangerous if they are woken up." Professor Sprout said in a low voice, and slowly opened the huge scissors in an arc, wrapping the two blades in the gleaming blade.

"Crack."

The leaves fell smoothly.Felix beckoned, and two mandrake leaves swirled and landed on his hand.Sprout switched positions again and did the same. "You can't pick too much from the same plant, or they won't like it," she explained.

Soon they were collected, and Professor Sprout handed him another bag for Felix to put the Mandrake leaves in.When everything was over, Felix got a little closer. He stretched out a hand and turned to look at Sprout: "Can I touch it?"

"Oh," said Professor Sprout hesitantly, "their calls are deadly now, it's best not to wake them—"

"Of course, of course," Felix murmured.

He turned his wrist, and the huge jar slowly floated up and stopped in front of him.He could only see the upper half, the rest was buried in the dirt.Felix looked at it carefully for a moment, his eyes flickered with the pattern of the book of runes, and the magic of the thinking cabin slowly spread around him.

Flicking lightly with your fingers, the black jar gradually turned into a lighter color, flickering a few times, leaving only some rough lines, just like Varun drawing a three-dimensional painting in the air with a quill pen.

Professor Sprout stood by and watched curiously. She hadn't seen magic like it before.

However, the outside world has recognized that Felix Hemp's magical attainments are close to Dumbledore's, which is why she did not stop it.

In front of them, a mass of solidified brown soil was bound by invisible forces.Felix twitched his fingers again, and Xushi had a wonderful transformation under his magic. Layers of brown soil seemed to be repeatedly rubbed with an eraser, leaving vague traces like pencil sketches on the spot, and the soil no longer hindered them The line of sight reveals the mandrake inside.

Felix didn't know who first suggested that these things looked like babies, but he thought they were actually little old men, very ugly, with unknown spots on their bodies, and their eyes closed unaffected , the body curled up into a ball, and the small pointed fist was pounding on the chest.

"I haven't seen a mandrake in sleep, it's so beautiful." Professor Sprout showed an obsessed expression.

Felix has a new appreciation for her aesthetic.He stretched out his hand, straight through the rough sketch-like lines, directly touching the mandrake plant, touching the anthropomorphic face.

Little by little his magic power seeped in.

On the other side, Professor Sprout also stretched out his hand curiously, gently stroking the root-like skin of the Mandrake, muttering something.

Felix closed his eyes, trying to feel his magic.Gradually, he realized that his magical power spread little by little, and attached to some magical lines, which were the unique wooden grains inside the mandrake.

In the early days of the magical desert, these magical lines were believed to be the origin of ancient runes, and he captured some familiar shapes.

He opened his eyes, and Professor Sprout was looking at him.

Felix clenched his fist and withdrew his arm suddenly, and a blue grid made of pure magic was dragged out by him.These magics are like the messy shapes obtained by pouring molten iron juice into an ant nest.But in Felix's eyes, it exudes a unique sense of beauty.

His eyes are now the same as Professor Sprout's obsession just now.

The big net of magic power slowly stretched out, and he dispersed most of the irrelevant magic power, leaving only a small cluster in the middle like a crescent moon. Under his exquisite control, these magic powers underwent subtle changes, from the original The rough shape turned into a cluster of crystal clear crystals, and soon, one of the crystal branches fell off and turned into a gleaming ancient rune.

Sprout's eyes widened.Thanks to Felix's spare no effort to promote it in the past four years, most of the professors are no strangers to the basic knowledge of ancient runes. Right now, all she can think of is one word—ancient magic, the ancient spell of the deadly cry of the Mandrake. magic.

More and more rune symbols gradually took shape, falling off from the main body, falling into Felix's other hand like a tired bird, and gradually pieced together into a shape similar to a crescent moon, just like the magic lines before.

But even Professor Sprout knows that the two are very different.She was getting more and more nervous.

When only one-third of the magic power left in mid-air, it suddenly disintegrated itself and disintegrated into smoke-like magic power.Professor Sprout, who was watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, and before she knew it, a trace of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"It doesn't seem to work." Felix said with a smile.

"You want to convert the natural abilities of the Mandrake into magic?" Professor Sprout asked.

"Recently I'm researching sound magic," Felix said slowly. "During the summer vacation, I saw some materials from the library of Ilvermorny School. The progress has been slow recently, and I want to find inspiration from other places..."

"Speaking of Ilvermorny, Felix, would you like to see the snakewood branch you brought back? It's growing well now."

"OK……"

They walked towards another greenhouse, and on the way they saw the figure of Professor Bubaji far away. "Caredy is ready to publish her own research results," Professor Sprout said. "She seems to be planning to publish more than a dozen papers in one go... I advise her to compile them into a book."

"I also know about this." Felix nodded and said: "Severus is also sorting out relevant information, maybe they have discussed it."

The snakewood branches were growing well, already as thick as a wrist, and three or four feet high. Felix stayed for a while, then took his leave.Walking in the snow, he recalled what happened in the greenhouse.Professor Sprout seemed intimidated, which is not surprising, and he himself found the research results to be very frightening.

Converting the cry of the mandrake into real ancient magic, this is the real sound of death, destroying the city and the country in an instant, Felix hopes that he will never have the opportunity to unleash its full power, only he knows .

Ancient magic—no, the combination of ancient runes and memory magic gradually revealed unparalleled power and potential, just like what he did to the mandrake flowerpot, the real and the unreal were in his mind.

If soul magic and time magic are added in the future, how far will he reach?He raised his head to look at the sky, and the clouds in the sky seemed to change into the face of Nick Flamel.

"Old man, I seem to feel the restriction you mentioned."

Felix shook his head and laughed, "Let's think about the easy stuff—at least Remus's little furry problem has a solution."
