A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 709 Accidental Visitors
"...I declare you to be partners for life."

Announced by a little bushy-haired wizard, Bill and Fleur hugged each other tightly, and a large silver star surrounded them, making them more radiant and moving.Charlie, Ginny, and Gabriel, who were closest to them, clapped excitedly and smiled broadly.Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Delacour sobbed with joy from the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Stand up, please!"

The guests stood up.The canvas of the white tent is rolled up, and the golden sunlight shines through the orchard, and it seems that even the air has become fruity.Under the effect of magic, the tables and chairs were gathered into a corner, and a pool of molten gold spread slowly under the feet of the couple, forming a glittering dance floor.The band sang and danced, and the waiters poured in with trays full of food, moving nimbly between the vacated venue and the colorful confetti and bells floating in mid-air.

Felix took a glass of champagne off his head and walked over to a table.

"Mr. Elphias Dorji, may I sit down?"

"Felix Hep?" The old man in the turkey looked up in surprise, revealing a few strands of soft and thinning hair. "Sit down, boy! I've been wanting to talk to you, but last time The timing is wrong..."

Felix knew he was referring to Dumbledore's funeral, where the two had had a chance to speak, but then the wizarding world was exposed.Felix knew him from an early age, and Dorje was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, but has now retired.

He and Dumbledore had a close personal relationship, the two enrolled in the same year and immediately became good friends, a friendship that lasted for a century.

"Mr. Dorje—"

"Call me Elphias, if you don't mind," Dorje said hastily.

Felix paused, "Ephias, I read your obituary for Dumbledore, it's very touching—"

"Yes, I think I have that obligation, I've known him the longest."

"—You severely refuted Grindelwald's statement in the article."

"That's it!" Dorje said immediately, the soft and even transparent hair on his head floated in the air because of excitement, "Don't believe him, since the first day I knew Dumbledore, he has held a grudge against Muggles." Sympathy, his noble character—”

"As far as I know, those claims are largely true," said Felix calmly.

Dorji quieted down, as if under a curse, his expression became painful.

"Well, I also had doubts. In our lives, we had the least contact during that time. I went on a trip, and he changed a lot when I came back." After a long time, Dorje said in a depressed tone, like As if he had suffered a great blow, he was undoubtedly an admirer of Dumbledore-worshiping his ideas, admiring his personality, admiring that he had turned the tide.

"—Maybe he did support Grindelwald, but I think he was only briefly stunned. I can guarantee that, as I said in the article, that painful experience gave birth to his real thoughts, a A heart of great kindness and compassion."

"You don't need to convince me." Felix said seriously: "Just like your obituary has limited space and can only pick one or two things to talk about, Grindelwald is the same. Besides, he really had contact with Dumbledore The time is only two short months, and it is obviously subjective and extreme. I think you agree that his words are somewhat misleading. Some people conclude that Dumbledore was once obsessed with black magic—"

"Who?" Duoji blushed angrily, as if he had been insulted.

"It's not important." Felix lightly lifted the topic, "What's important is that there are already signs of this. Dumbledore studies the dark arts, Dumbledore hates Muggles, Dumbledore seeks fame, and even affects family, saying that his mother imprisoned her daughter in order not to shame the family..."

Dorje's face became redder and redder, burning with anger.

"...someone has to stand up and clarify." Felix finished.

"Yes, someone must stand up!" Dorje repeated loudly, and he looked at Felix helplessly, "My dear child, I want to use your reputation—"

"I can't." Felix shook his head, before Dorje could express his disappointment, he turned his head to the side, "There is someone who can, he knows Dumbledore better than any living person in the world, completely The heir to his brilliant mind."

Following this gaze, Dorje passed through the crowd and saw a young man with black hair holding a sandwich and munching.

"You said he...Harry Potter?" The old man stared at Harry and muttered in a low voice, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself: "It's possible...I read in the newspaper...that the kid can stand alone Pick a fire dragon... there must be someone to teach him at his age."

Felix did not dispute this view.Part of magic comes from the heart, and from this perspective, Dumbledore's support for Harry is unprecedented.He struck while the iron was hot and said:
"So, we have a deal? You two collaborate on a biography of Dumbledore? I know I may not be able to ask you, and I don't know if you can spare the time, but I can feel the surge in your heart just by writing. Sincerely, if you'd like to—"

"Of course I would!" Dorji said impatiently: "It's my honor!" He then became hesitant, "Have you talked to that child, and he agrees?"

"I was just going to tell him."

Felix stands up when Dorje calls to him. "Mr. Haip—Felix, can I ask why you did this? I know that you have been busy with major events that affect the fate of the entire wizarding world recently. What makes you spend your mind alone—"

"Dumbledore took good care of me. And objectively speaking, Dumbledore has really become a symbol representing wizards. He may have made mistakes, but mistakes should not be described as evil. Of course, the influence of rumors It has not yet appeared, and it can be delayed-I am because of another person."

"Harry Potter?" Doge guessed, pronouncing the name for the second time that night.

"That's right." Felix nodded and said, "He still doesn't know what kind of wealth he has acquired. I have to remind him. To prevent him from forgetting." crowd.

On the other side, Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione huddled together at a table, watching Luna dance with her father as they chomped down on food.You could tell they were starving.

"Eat quickly, and then we'll dance!" said Ginny, thinking written all over her face.She looked at the noisy crowd, her eyes suddenly froze, and she whispered, "Oh, look——"

Several people looked away from the food and looked at Professor Haipu who was walking towards him.Hermione choked on the champagne, put down her food, wiped her mouth quickly, and sat up more straight.

"Miss Granger." Felix nodded to her, sat in the vacated chair next to her, and explained to Harry the reason for his visit.

"Let me write a biography of Dumbledore?" Harry said blankly, thinking of his unfinished book.The others also widened their eyes.

"It's you and Elphias Dorji." Felix raised his chin towards the opposite side.

Following the direction pointed by the professor, Harry saw an old man in a round cap stretching his neck and staring sharply in this direction.

"...You provide information, what to say, how much to say, and you know what to say. It is estimated that it will take a year and a half, and it may not be able to keep up with the first batch of book lists for communication-the Ministry of Magic believes that the selected list is the best. Presenting the magic of magic—but it makes sense in its own right."

"But, Professor," said Harry, thinking elsewhere, "I hear the negotiations are not going well?"

"Oh, Harry, you need to see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon." Felix smiled and said, he looked at Hermione.Hermione raised her eyebrows, "Professor, do you mean that the recent slow progress is just a negotiation technique? Or is it stuck on a key issue?"

"Almost, another reason is that some government officials are affected by external influences, and I will solve this trouble soon." Felix said tactfully, "Let's not discuss such serious topics at the wedding, I think—— He suddenly stopped talking, stood up quickly, and looked outside.

"What happened, Professor?" Harry asked, and Ron, Ginny, and Hermione looked around inexplicably, but saw nothing unusual.

"There are unexpected visitors, it's not a big problem, I'll go and have a look." Felix said, he got up and walked towards the orchard outside the tent, Hermione followed after thinking about it.

The fruit trees shimmered under the brilliant sunset, and the tent was surrounded by a pleasant pastoral scene. Hermione passed through the crowd, looked around the edge of the tent for a while, and found Felix returning with a strange girl, and the two were talking while walking .

"...You will treat it as a dream, deal?"

The girl nodded, raised her head and looked at everything in the tent timidly and longingly.Felix pointed at her, and her dress transformed into a beautiful gown.

"Go." Felix said encouragingly, and the girl rushed into the tent with her skirt in her hands, stepped on the golden dance floor and looked around.A bottle of champagne and an empty glass squeezed in front of her, making a clinking sound. She poured herself a small glass with interest, then searched among the crowd, and then her eyes lit up, and she strode in one direction .

"Professor, she's... a Muggle?" said Hermione in surprise.

"She lives in a nearby village and her parents run a flower shop." Felix said: "Just a few days ago, Fred and George exchanged a pack of snacks for flowers for today's wedding. The clever girl took her heart and looked out at the entrance of the village every day. However, the Weasleys' house was protected by a spell, and ordinary people couldn't find it—but she was quite persevering. She kept guard for several days, and accidentally saw A guest who came with a portkey."

"Oh." Hermione looked back at the girl who disappeared behind the phoenix cake. No one at the wedding noticed that a non-magical person had mixed in.She turned around, quietly mustering up her courage, and just as she was about to speak, Felix cleared his throat, "Um—may I ask you to dance?"

Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"Since you said so." She nodded reservedly, stretched out a hand, and the two walked towards the dance floor.

"By the way, I want to ask, what did you see during time travel?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this question?"

"Purely out of curiosity."

"A cave full of stalactites—"

"Cough, stop talking." Felix quickly stopped, it was the place where he secretly practiced the death curse.

……

At night, the lights in Sword Castle were still on.

"Ready?" Felix asked, and Lupine nodded silently, closing his eyes, ready to face his fate.Tonks stood by, his fingers tightly knit together.

Felix opened his hand, countless small runes fluttered in the air, and then turned back like a tired bird returning to its nest. Before the other two could react, they turned into a mass of silver moonlight, as if there was a leak in the moonlight. Human roars echoed.

Felix put his hand on Lupine's shoulder.

A strange feeling flooded his whole body in an instant, he was no stranger to this feeling, he had to experience it once every full moon night since he was five years old.Lupine snapped his eyes open, the pupils dilated and blacked out.But this time was different from all the previous ones. He had just used the not-so-proficient 'Reverse Werewolf Transformation' magic on himself-although it failed several times.

Lupine's head began to deform, his body was elongated, and the dress he hadn't had time to change was overwhelmed. He let out a low growl, showing his sharp teeth—Tonks covered his mouth and couldn't help but take a step closer—but Then all the discordant parts of Lupine's body were put back, and he regained his human form. When he raised his head again, his eyes were still so sincere and reliable.

Tonks trotted over, took Lupine's hand with great interest and inspected it repeatedly, never tired of it, and then rolled up his sleeves, making sure that all the brown bristles that had burrowed out of his arm before were gone, and then he loosened it. Take a breath.

"Did we succeed? The magic worked?" she asked, swallowing.

Felix said cheerfully to Lupine and Tonks, "Success without a doubt."

"How long can this magic last? Can it survive the full moon night?" Tonks' voice was slightly abnormal.

"If you don't crack it by force, it should be fine." Felix said.

Tonks let out a yelp of joy, and Lupine watched her and smiled slightly. "Let's see what Mom has to say!" she murmured, turning her hair a dazzling blond.

Lupine remained calm amidst the great joy, and he said calmly: "I just completed the first step, and then mastered the magic of werewolf transformation, that is, turning into a werewolf when the moon is not full. With the previous I think I can master this magic in a month or two."

"Why did you do that?" Tonks stopped and asked in bewilderment, "Why did you take the initiative to become a werewolf?"

Lupine looked at Felix.Felix explained: "Let's put it this way, the effect of wolf's poison varies from person to person. If an ordinary person is bitten by a werewolf, the wolf's poison will kill that person; but if I am bitten by a werewolf, the wolf's poison will kill that person. I can't do any harm at all, at most it's a little trouble..."

"...Dumbledore is the same. Our bodies and magic power have undergone strange changes, and the connection between them is more closely connected. I call it the biologicalization of magic. An important sign is that no matter how the body changes, the magic power can adapt perfectly. The current state. This is very different from the wizard's Animagus."

"The transformation of a werewolf is somewhere in between - beyond the ability of ordinary wizards, it is difficult to control; but it will not completely kill the wizard."

"If Remus masters the methods of werewolf transformation and reversal at the same time, he can continue to be familiar with this process in a waking state, which will help him grasp the most subtle changes in his body, thus paving the way for learning advanced human body transformation. Clearing obstacles, the final effect is to fix this state for a long time.”

"You can understand it as a human Animagus transformation specifically for werewolves."

"After three steps, the status of werewolf will no longer have any influence. The only disadvantage is that this method is very difficult. If you want to promote it on a large scale, let's wait a little bit for those potion masters to create a potion that can completely cure wolf's poison." Felix Si calmly said that although the ancient runes are highly adaptable, they certainly cannot replace all magic.

"I asked Belby." Lupine shook his head and said, "It took him many years to develop the wolfsbane potion, but the final result was just barely suppressing the wolfsbane, so that the werewolf remained rational when transforming. Eradication is very difficult... I plan to go through the whole process by myself, and if it goes well, I might as well pick some qualified werewolves—"

He looked hesitantly at Felix, who shrugged at him.

"I don't care what you want to do outside of work. Anyway, the key to solving the problem is already in your hands."
