A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 713 Developing New Saints
At the end of the dinner, Professor McGonagall stood up and said to the students: "The first-year freshmen and prefects stay behind, and the students of other grades leave first, so as to prevent someone from making mistakes and going to other lounges."

The students pushed aside the stools sparsely and walked towards the door. "It's true that someone went to the wrong place on the first day of school?" Harry asked curiously. "Oh, yes." Hermione hurried over and said, "But this mistake is easy to spot, the names of the new students are written on the beds in every dormitory."

In the professor's seat, Emmeline Vance, who had been quiet all night and didn't say much, suddenly said, "We haven't sung the school song yet." The professors who were closer to her froze immediately.

Professor Flitwick cleared his throat unnaturally, "Well, it doesn't happen every year."

The other professors echoed in a low voice: "Yes, yes."

There was an obvious disappointed expression on Emmeline's face, as if a certain wish hidden in her heart had come to nothing, she said calmly: "I know, it usually happens on important occasions. I only heard it once when I was in school. When I entered school..."

"What was it about that time?" Felix asked politely.

"I don't remember clearly." Emmeline shook her head slightly.

Slughorn on the side showed a reminiscing expression. "It seems to be a bit of an impression... I remember that Peeves created a mess in the reference room, and some folders were destroyed by fire, including the score of the school song. It was a long time ago... Before that, there were some I haven't sung the school song in the first year, I think at least seven years, because none of the students at that time could..."

"So the school song has no tune since then?" Felix was a little surprised, it turned out to be the case.

"Actually, there are, and I found a backup from the library later." Slughorn explained, "But Dumbledore thought it was enough to keep only the text, and the tune can be changed at will."

Later - Harry was sitting on the four-poster bed in the dormitory, unpacking the contents of the suitcase one by one.He lifted the top cover of the box, and a stack of thick parchment fell down. Ron picked up the one that fell in front of him and took a look. Are there any rules for the hobby of connecting?"

"They're real," said Harry, "and I'm going to write to them one by one."

Neville stood behind Ron, looking at the parchment with a bit of a tongue.

"Or because of Headmaster Dumbledore's biography?"

"Yeah, ask for some details. Elphias Dorje wants the biography to be as good as it gets," said Harry.For the next few minutes, Ron and Neville happily called out familiar names one after another. They regarded it as a game to see who could recognize the most names-and this usually meant that the person whose name was called A small achievement.

Seamus, who was making the bed, leaned over and grinned, "Cormac McLaggen would be mad with jealousy."

Harry rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, the price is thinking about words and sentences every day, thinking about grammar and diction." In fact, he did much more than that. He also spent a lot of time speculating on Dumbledore's thoughts in different periods. This is really not an easy task, haha Leigh had a similar experience - for a while he was able to get into Voldemort's mind to sense the other person's emotions and guess his purpose.Harry felt like he was doing the same thing now.

"Let's be more realistic," Ron asked. "What do you think Emmeline Vance will teach us tomorrow? I never knew she was good at Transfiguration. I thought she was good at dueling. She gave us Used to be a guard, remember?"

"She is good at many subjects," Harry said without thinking. "Spells, potions, transfiguration, and she invented a few simple and practical little spells. Dumbledore spoke highly of her."

"Remarkable," said Ron, carefully arranging the two wizard chess pieces on the bedside table, and lying on the bed, "and the centaur - I noticed that Trelawney hadn't shown up all night, She must be pissed."

Harry shrugged, and the image of Trelawney gritting her teeth in the mirror in the attic appeared in his mind.He suddenly thought of Luna, she is in the sixth grade this year, and it is estimated that she will take Firenze's courses.

At this time, Neville, who was still in place, spoke hesitantly.

"Harry, can I join you when you have Transfiguration tomorrow?"

Harry looked at Neville in surprise, but immediately a distant memory was triggered, "Oh, I remember you took the Transfiguration OWLs exam last year, so you—"

"It's done!" Neville smiled.

Ron sat up from the bed with a "boo".

"What grade did you get?"

"Excellent," Neville whispered.

A series of exclamations echoed in the dormitory.

"Great." Harry gave a thumbs up, and several people in the dormitory gathered around Neville to congratulate, "So you can work hard for Aurors again?"

"How did you do it, Transfiguration is probably one of your worst subjects?" Seamus asked him.

"I think it's the effect of the Animagus," Neville said softly. "During the practice assessment, the examiner said that I could be ranked first."

"The effect is so obvious? I want to try it." Seamo was extremely envious, and at the same time a little moved. Both he and Dean had mastered the patron saint magic that was helpful to Animagus.

"Neville himself worked very hard and spent a lot of time." Harry recalled that he couldn't remember what Neville was doing during that time, but he vaguely remembered that he was often with Hannah, and that Hermione Borrowed notes.

"Honestly, it's a bit late, unless you're planning on staying for a year." Dean said with regret in his tone, and they discussed the issue for a long time, until they went to bed.

"I remember that the gorilla captain of the Slytherin team stayed in school a few years ago. What's his name?"

"Marcus." Harry was impressed.

"That's right, it's him. In the end, he only graduated with a certificate from the NEWTs exam, which is an ancient rune!"

"It's amazing, isn't it?"

……

For the next week Felix enjoyed a rare leisurely time at school.As he mentioned when chatting with other professors at the dinner, after a month of continuous actions, both he and Aginbad need to take a break. He is not the only one in the International Federation of Wizards, even if he wants to It is impossible to solve all problems in one go.

Under the mediation of Felix, the ministries of magic of various countries did not act rashly (they also wanted to wait for the results of the British negotiations), but they still reached a consensus on two things. For the Pan-Magic Alliance, Felix talked to Ms. Burns, and she immediately decided to send six experienced teams, and the local Future World Company branch will cooperate with them as much as possible.

The second matter is also of great significance, that is, the preparation for the holding of the International Federation of Wizards Conference.

Just as representatives of wizards from various countries came together to formulate the "Secrecy Act" 300 years ago, a new legal framework will be determined.In addition to the few remaining members of the International Federation of Wizards who are making intensive preparations, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries are also working hard for this.

A week later, Felix left school after a short rest.The memory in classroom No. [-] is enough to replace the real ones with his teaching.And for the wizard—especially for him, the distance is not a problem, he can even go back to school for lunch at noon every day.

When I saw Aginbad again, he was staring at the huge world map on the wall with a sad face.

"Here, here, and these places..." He clicked a dozen times on the board of the African continent, and said, "They are all occupied by Grindelwald. Instead of the original loose organizational form, some small groups of wizards who tried to resist or break away from control were smashed to pieces."

"The change over there is much more radical, and it's in full swing," Akinbad said.

Felix wasn't surprised at all, because that's what he did.He moved out the Grindelwald Code from the ruins of history, picked out the content that is still suitable for this era, and even implemented some radical content. Thanks to his own efforts, Grindelwald's name is now very famous, and various analysis reports about him Was put on the desk.

At the same time, as a representative of wizardism (similar to nationalism), Grindelwald also gained a large number of fans, which made Akinbad deeply plunged into fear and doubt.

"Grindelwald is smarter and more dangerous than we imagined! He didn't stand idly by, but tried to get rid of the restrictions of the 'unbreakable oath'. He picked the most chaotic Africa and broke the rules in the name of saving wizards-I Knows what you're going to say," he said to Felix, "and even if he means it, he's arrogant enough to think he's the chosen one to save wizards from fire - but one thing you can't deny is that his power is rapid expansion."

"I don't deny it," said Felix.

"So--"

"Since we can't take care of it for the time being, why not leave it to him? Don't you think some of his initiatives are meaningful? According to your analysis, Grindelwald's real purpose is to streamline more than 200 loose wizarding community management organizations. For more than 20 institutions similar to the Ministry of Magic... In the future, the cohesion of wizards in that land will be higher, and management will be more convenient."

"But he will use the unified army of wizards to fight against us!"

"There is an oath to restrict him..." Felix couldn't remember how many times he mentioned this reason, but it may have been said too many times recently, Aginbad still stared at him, but Felix had no choice but to change the phrase , "Well, I will step up and make sure the two join forces when necessary."

"How is this possible?" Akinbad shouted.

"The situation is changing rapidly, Mr. President. So anything can happen." Felix said seriously, "At this stage, Grindelwald has little influence on us. On the contrary, his existence can also deter some people with malicious intentions." people—a greater deterrent than I am."

"Oh, if only he were on our side," Aginbad sighed, with a gleam of illusion in his eyes, "he won't just overthrow the secrecy law and wreak havoc on the wizarding world by himself." sinners, but, rather..."

what is it then?

Akinbad couldn't describe it, and he didn't say these words to defend Grindelwald, but regret and regret.

After knowing that he was deceived, he wished to smash that hateful and cunning old face with his fist. This idea lingered in his mind for several weeks. Instead of weakening, it became more intense.In his opinion, this is a thorough act of dividing camps and splitting wizards, and it is a painstaking conspiracy by careerists.

It's a pity that Akinbad can only watch and can't do anything. He can't even go back to Africa to see the situation in his hometown with his own eyes. Knocked down, made a prisoner, brought to Grindelwald, and mocked face to face.

Felix, who was the only one capable of keeping him safe, resolutely disagreed with rushing to Africa, but instead focused on Europe and America. More precisely, he even put America aside for the time being. Akinbad thought about this Quite critical, suspecting that he was afraid of facing Grindelwald.

But Akinbad also had to admit a fact:
From a utilitarian point of view, there is nothing to blame for Felix's approach, but it has become more and more correct as time goes by.He didn't rush to conflict with Grindelwald and show off his force (this is incredible in Akinbad's view); he didn't waste time facing the near-unsolvable mess in America in the short term, but raced against time to re-establish the international wizard Federation prestige.

After a month, the federation is no longer an empty shell.

The above are the views of Aginbad and some wizard groups. If it is replaced by Felix, his thoughts will be completely different-that is, no one should think of Grindelwald and Felix, the two turmoil. , and people with very different personalities are essentially two sides of the same body.

With Felix's intentions, Africa has become almost an independent kingdom.

What he did was completely in line with Grindelwald's usual behavior. Even Vita Rozier, the only one who knew the truth, sometimes couldn't help but wonder: Is Felix pretending to be Grindelwald, or Grindelwald pretending to be Grindelwald? Felix Hepp?

At least in her opinion, Grindelwald's thoughts are encroaching on the minds and living space of African wizards in a gentle way, and they have grown vigorously like wildfire in the past month.

"If it is not for physical reasons, he is likely to shine in this era. Of course, if that is the case, it means that he and I are completely on the opposite side."

Felix said emotionally.When he said these words, he defeated a group of wizards who 'took the opportunity to grow in chaos' with his own force. At this moment, more than fifty wizards fell to the ground, looking up and glaring at him.

Felix waved his hand casually, and a new generation of saints took over in an orderly manner with their heads held high.

"So whose thought do you prefer? Grindelwald or Dumbledore?" Rozier asked in a low voice.

"What thought?" Felix asked back. "I'm here to solve the problem."
