A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"You'll improve very quickly, it just takes a little time."

"Professor, I am reading the "Introductory Manual of Ancient Magic Texts". At the same time, I also learned how to consult the "Rune Dictionary" and "Magic Symbol Collection", and re-read the book list you gave me before, but most of them are I didn't fully understand it, so I had to memorize it from memory." Hermione sat up straight and quickly introduced her learning progress.

Edward was stunned for a moment, "That's good, but I won't spend too much time discussing how to translate it with you. At most, I will tell you how to learn ancient magic texts."

"You can start from around 900 AD, which is when Hogwarts was founded. The four founders were all the most amazing talents in the world. They left a mark in the history of the wizarding world. Even I have to admit..."

Edward stopped the topic in time, "But some of the information is in the restricted area. After you finish reading the books outside, I will give you a permission to enter the restricted area and continue studying."

"However, a considerable number of books completely disappeared from the library when Salazar left that year, because after he split with the three of them, he took away his research results in a fit of anger..."

Edward recounted a piece of history that fascinated Hermione - Edward spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

After a moment, Edward stood up and motioned for Hermione to follow. They came to the desk next to them, and Lockhart had the good sense to move aside to make room for a large space.

"How can I help you learn magic texts quickly?" Edward picked up a palm-sized piece of yew wood from the table. Magic power gathered at his fingertips. He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, dissipated the magic power from his fingertips, and picked up The carving knife re-injected magic power and carved magic words one by one on the surface of the wood pieces.

When the magic text just fell, a dazzling red light quickly bloomed, but it quickly dimmed and turned into dark lines, with the seal engraved on it.

This was the first time Hermione had seen such a scene. She watched intently while searching her brains to try to decipher what Edward was doing, but found nothing.

After Edward finished carving the magic text, he handed it to Hermione, "You can feel it."

She stretched out her hand to take the piece of wood, and without rubbing it, she could keenly feel the surge of magic power under her palm. Her fingertips traced the dark magic text, and there was a warm touch.

"Yew wood can temporarily store magic power, as you just said, but if it is not treated, the magic power on it can last for about three days at most."

Hermione nodded, she had already memorized this knowledge in her mind.

"And what I'm going to talk about next is how to solve this defect. For example, you can connect them to form a loop, thereby greatly extending the retention time of magic power;"

"Of course, you can also apply special protective magic;"

"Or add storage and conversion loops..."

Hermione's little head was trying hard to remember. She wanted to pick up the parchment immediately and write down everything Edward said on the parchment - and this was always what Lockhart would do.

But Edward was still explaining to Hermione very carefully. At least he wanted to ensure that Hermione's safety was guaranteed during his teaching.

This was his only promise to Dumbledore.

"Professor, regarding the figure inside the oil lamp...it is not a dark magic alchemy item, right?"

When she was about to leave the office, Hermione hesitated to ask her question. This matter had been bothering her for several days.

"Of course not. Albus will not allow that to happen. It is just a container to hold the soul." Edward said lightly.

"Oh......"

......

Time gradually came to October.

After one month of employment, Edward has completely adapted to the 'intense' teaching work, making him feel relaxed and leisurely again.

The first-grade wizards are easy to teach. What they need most is targeted exercises, not Edward's lengthy explanations on writing skills.

Edward only needs to assign topics to the little wizards in class and then let them develop freely. Practice is the best teacher.

There won’t be any surprises in the thesis guidance class anyway, right?

Except for Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy, Edward found that the two of them were simply time bombs in the classroom. They would always choke when Edward was not paying attention, and then when no one could react It turns into a shouting match or a fight.

Edward should be thankful that they were both first year wizards and could only beat each other with fists instead of jinxing or something like that.Thanks to Mrs. Weasley's deep impression, Edward has always been friendly to Ron Weasley.

But today, obviously everything is not going so smoothly.

"I'm willing to compete with you at any time! After you finish your last meal." Malfoy said viciously, "If you have no objection, tonight, there will be a duel between wizards, using only wands - no contact. Why? Like? I don’t think you can successfully recite the spell, right?"

"Of course he has heard of it." Ron said, suddenly squeezing over. Malfoy was actually causing trouble for Harry, "I am his assistant, who is your assistant?"

Malfoy looked at Crabbe and Goyle, sizing them up one by one.

"Crabbe," he said, "at midnight, how about we're in the trophy room—"

"Children, I hope I didn't hear you discussing your plan to duel." Edward came over. He didn't want another bad fight to happen in his classroom. This made Dumbledore very dissatisfied with his performance, and even Blackmail him to cancel the contract.

Of course he can do this. When Edward's performance really fails to meet the standards of a qualified professor, the contract will be automatically voided and Edward will be punished.

If Dumbledore breaks the contract, he will pay the price with his life. This is the wizard's disadvantage.As for Edward, he naturally does not have to pay such a high price. He only needs to pay two-thirds of his magic power and dedicate two-thirds of his magic power forever.

"You'd better be honest in my class." Edward said angrily, "If I catch you doing little things in class again, I will tell your dean and let him take care of your confinement. "

"Yes, Professor." The two groups bowed their heads in response.

"Hermione, keep an eye on them and don't let them cause trouble again."

"No problem, Professor."
