A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 649 Important Time Node
In February, the snow in the school began to melt, and the air became humid and cold. With the first cold rain coming, Professor McGonagall called the seven most promising students over and reminded them that it had entered the rainy season and there were many There is a high probability of encountering thunderstorm weather.

Of course, this was a speech to the students, and the purpose was to make them feel more urgent and not dare to relax. In private, Felix had promised her that a storm could be brought to Hogwarts at any time.

Another sunset, Harry finished chanting the Animagus spell. While chanting the spell, he felt his heart beat a little faster, but he wasn't sure if it was an illusion. After hesitating for a while, he decided to wait another two days, and he was sure. Report it to the professor again.

He walked into the courtyard and saw two familiar figures, one of whom left quickly after he appeared.He quickened his pace.

"Luna?"

"Hi, Harry," Luna waved to him enthusiastically, even though Harry was already standing in front of her, "long time no see."

"It wasn't that long, actually," Harry muttered. "You were talking to Ron just now?"

"Yeah, but we didn't have a few words, he saw you and left, I think he was avoiding you." Luna said.

"Thanks for telling me that," said Harry.Luna showed her special talent again—to tell the unpleasant truth, he had never seen anyone like her, "So... um, what did you guys talk about?"

Harry tried to get the conversation right, and couldn't let Luna have her way.

"He told me to 'fuck off'—"

"It's not - I'm sorry, Luna, I apologize on his behalf, Ron has been in a bad mood lately, acting like a complete jerk... partly because of me."

"It's okay," Luna said calmly, "Ginny told me a little bit that she shouldn't be so impulsive, even though she spent more time proving herself right, Ron deserved what she deserved... She also mentioned Hermione and Neville, does that mean my friends are arguing behind my back?"

Harry felt terribly awkward, listening to Luna sound like it was a wholesome group activity and they weren't taking her.

"No, Luna, I wonder if he mentioned anything in particular? Like—"

"His birthday," Luna said dazedly. "He said he screwed up everything and told me to stop bothering him. He looked annoyed, but it's not weird, is it? It's a rite of passage... I remember your birthday is at the end of July?" Her last sentence was no longer so dazed.

"Yeah," Harry said absently, it wasn't what he wanted. "Thank you, Luna, but I actually want to know where he's been hiding all this time—wait, bar mitzvah?" He turned his head quickly. He knew Ron's birthday was March [-], and he had Gifts were prepared, but it just didn't quite connect to adulthood.

He suddenly realized one thing: among the three of him, Ron, and Hermione, Hermione was the first to become an adult, then Ron, and finally himself—July 31st, less than half a year from now .

Not much time left.he thought longingly.

Maybe Ron wanted to use the Animagus transfiguration as his adult gift, so the reaction after the failure was so big?Harry subconsciously made excuses for Ron.By this time Luna had already begun to answer Harry's second question.

"...I took it and asked Felix. My two gifts seemed to be inseparable. They were the Goblet of Fire model and the Goblet of Fire Rune that Ginny gave me. He said it was a good sign, although Kind of unexpected... Ron was there."

"You said you met Ron in Professor Haip's office?" Harry caught the key words keenly, "What is he doing there?"

"... my mouth was full of chocolate cake, I almost didn't recognize it," Luna finished as if she didn't hear, "I've seen it just once. But maybe he's always been there."

Harry returned with more doubts than before.

He really didn't expect Ron to be with Professor Haipu, because in his consciousness, the professor didn't seem to have contact with Ron alone, and Ron was with him even in confinement, and what happened to the chocolate cake?

On the other side, Ron had already gone a long way. He made a big circle, turned to the front of the castle, climbed up the movable stairs, and sneakily knocked on the ancient rune professor's office.

It was Valen who opened the door.

"The professor is still in classroom seven?" Ron asked softly.

Varen nodded numbly. Based on past experience, it knew that its snacks were about to suffer again, and Ron rushed in impatiently.Sure enough, there were animations showing in it.

On the table were fruit preserves and the homework left by Professor Haipu for Warren.

Except for the first time Felix was there, Ron was received by Varen for the rest of the times. As for the reason—Valen wanted someone to do homework with him, and the person who played this role most of the time in the past was He Min, but she hasn't been here much recently, and seems to be busy studying how to become an animal.

Varun was amazed at the idea.It also reconfirmed with Ron that Animagus can only make wizards into ordinary creatures, not even magical animals.

Is there any need to learn this?
Varen thought about the series of forms of the Great Demon King he had seen—thestrals with bat wings, feathered snakes that can become bigger and smaller, invisible beasts that can become invisible, ball-stalking birds that suddenly disappear and appear, and control The Thunderbird of Thunder, the White Sable who divided himself in two...

Because the list was too long, it made Valen, who was lost in memory, seem to be in a daze.

Ron opened his schoolbag and took out the teaching materials and parchment. He paid the price for his actions. Now he can only write homework by himself, without even a reference person, but he really wants to prove that he can not rely on anyone.

Although the result of these few times will basically become him watching cartoons and eating snacks with Varun.But at least Warren's homework doesn't require much brainwork, he can read and write while he can't, which makes Ron even more frustrated.

Could it be that I really can't do anything well?

He spread out the parchment with a sad face, and began to write letters. This is one of the few people he can still talk to at the moment—not counting Lavender, she seems to have a good impression of him, and the sense of existence during this time is surprisingly strong , this is also one of the people he needs to hide from.

Varun moved his eyes away from the screen, looked down, and it was okay, he didn't write serial... It looked at Ron again, and leaned over to take a look.Ron raised his head vigilantly, covering the parchment.

"Haw?"

"What did you say?"

Warren sighed. There is a long way to go to popularize Sniff Language. So far, only three people can talk to it directly.Warren took out his exclusive wand and wrote in the air—it could write quickly and neatly now: Who is 'Dear Collins'?
Ron gasped.

"Her name is Collins, not 'Dear Collins'—" He tried to explain the word formation to a Niffler, "It's a letter writing language, similar to 'Hello'..."

The little wooden stick continued to dance, and several new words appeared in the air.

'Dear Lavender? '

Ron shook his head again and again, "No, it can't be used like this."

Varun squinted his eyes, as if looking at a liar.

……

When Felix came out of classroom seven, Ron was staring at the screen with piercing eyes, and the cat and mouse drama was staged to a critical moment.His mouth was full of strawberry sandwich cookies. "Teach, professor?" Ron said guiltily.

"Well," Felix said, "You're here again, so the relationship is still frozen?" Ron said nothing. "Forget it, you can stay if you want. I'll tell you that you've been locked up by me. Anyway, just don't disturb me."

He suddenly thought of something, "By the way, your birthday is March 3st?"

"Yes, Professor," said Ron, swallowing hard, "a month before Fred and George."

Felix sat behind his desk, his chin propped on his right hand, his thoughts racing.Time flies so fast, and the sixth graders are beginning to become adults one after another. The latest...the latest should be Harry's group, almost a year later than Hermione, tsk, I don't know their grades and Does birthday matter directly.

Felix's movements stopped suddenly.

adult……?
If I remember correctly, the blood protection spell cast on Harry by Dumbledore seems to be automatically lifted when he becomes an adult, right?Felix stared at Ron thoughtfully, making him uncomfortable.

"professor?"

"Hush, don't make a sound." Felix said softly, lost in thought.

There are two layers of protection on Harry's body.

One layer comes from Dumbledore, which is bound by blood relatives and will automatically expire after adulthood; one layer comes from Harry's mother, Lily Potter, which only targets Voldemort's death curse, but the effect should be permanent, but all spells have A limit, after resisting and rebounding Voldemort's Killing Curse, how effective is Lily's guardian magic?
He and Dumbledore had similar concerns before.But that was more because Voldemort's growing power indirectly caused the bond between him and Harry to deepen, and now with Voldemort's consciousness slumped, the effect has become negligible.

But that just means there is an impact.And in about half a year, Harry's own soul defense ability will plummet.

Felix was not sure for a moment, how many variables would Harry's adulthood add to the soul fragments in his mind?But he did feel the tension that he hadn't seen for a long time, as if... time was not as abundant as he thought.After thinking for a moment, he tore off a piece of parchment, filled a quill with ink, and glanced at the calendar to find the nearest weekend——

'February 2th, at the door of classroom No. 8; keep it secret, and try to solve the problem at eight o'clock in the morning. '

Felix folded the note and handed it to Ron.

"Pass it over to Harry for me."

Ron's outstretched hand was hanging in the air, and he faltered, "Professor, can Hermione pass it on, I, I now—"

"Alright." Felix didn't insist.

"Professor, what's the note about?" Ron asked, swallowing. He suspected that the professor was trying to sneak something to Harry again, just like that Professor Bagshot.

"Well," Felix looked at Ron with weighing eyes, "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, I should have known it long ago—do you know who is locked in the depths of Room [-]?"

"...It's a mysterious person."

"Well, it's time for Harry to face him."

pat.

The cauldron cake in Ron's hand fell to the ground.
