A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Before he knew it, Felix read all the content.

"Professor?" Hermione looked over.

She interrupted the screen and turned to discuss some questions about the paper.

"I saw in the book, "Wands and Wizards" a point repeatedly mentioned in the book, 'Wands are alive', how to understand this sentence?"

"Well... I don't have deep research on this aspect, so I can only talk about it in general."

"Of course." Hermione said lightly, blinking her eyes.

"Each wand is unique. Even if they're made of the same material and size, they'll work very differently in different hands."

"Because of the wand's owner?" Hermione guessed.

"Yes, I personally think that the wand in the shop is a half-finished product that desperately desires its own wholeness."

Hermione looked up at Felix, a fresh perspective.

Felix explained: "The properties of the wand's wood, and the properties of the magical creatures from which the core is derived, make the wand extremely rich in variety, but there is one more feature that cannot be ignored - the owner of the wand itself."

"Rather than saying that the wand is alive, I prefer to believe that the combination of the three characteristics of the wand body, the wand core, and the owner makes the wand complete and exerts its real power."

"So, this is the theoretical support of 'the wand chooses a wizard'? In order to make itself complete, when the body and core of the wand are fixed, it is more willing to choose the ideal owner that fits itself?" Hermione followed his line of thought. said.

"It's a family's word," Felix said modestly, then added--

"Moreover, for little wizards, obtaining a suitable wand is only the first step. The wand and the master will partner with each other, learn from and promote each other in the days to come, and continuously cultivate this tacit understanding."

"We can understand that every wand's experience is different."

"But, Professor, I heard some wands betray their masters?" Hermione asked cautiously.

Felix's expression became serious, "This situation is relatively rare, even a wand with a bad reputation and a more perverse wand will not lose sight of the master just because of one or two failures, and the confrontation on campus is even less than satisfactory. To this extent..."

"But it must be the case, isn't it?" Hermione demanded.

"Indeed. I think there are a variety of reasons: some have a bad relationship between the owner and the wand; some are inherently sensitive and worship the strong; some are because the 'failure' has too much influence on the owner, deepening the rift."

"However, in terms of the core material alone, unicorn hair is indeed more loyal, while dragon heartstrings appear to be too active, and they may 'temporarily' succumb to a powerful enemy."

"temporary?"

"For example, this type of wand is forcibly taken away by the enemy. If you recover it in time, you can still use it as usual."

"This, this..." the little witch said in surprise.

"Miss Granger, what we're discussing is too far from your world." Felix ended the topic.

In fact, Felix believes that the conditions for changing hands of wands are extremely harsh, including at least one "failure in a malicious confrontation", which is the conclusion he has drawn from some dark wizards.

That's how the spare wands Felix kept in stock came.

But even so, these wands can only temporarily respond to emergencies at best - not their own wands, and there will eventually be various restrictions on spellcasting.

From the example of Ron and Neville, there may also be a situation of 'willing transfer', but he has not experienced it personally.

"Granger, let's discuss your transformation of the beaded pouch. I thought you would finish it next school year."

...

Felix's new book is also on the agenda. In order to expand his influence, he chose to complete two books at the same time - one is a preparatory wizard for the young, with a large number of dynamic pictures, supplemented by vivid and interesting stories plot.

One is a popular science theme for adult wizards, using the most rigorous logic and words to explain the most simple underlying technology in the Muggle world.

After completing part of the manuscript, Felix had the illusion of explaining addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to the mentally retarded, which made him want to give up at one point.

However, some readers he selected gave good feedback-

Belby looked at the manuscript. The first picture was of a boiling kettle with hot steam gushing from the mouth; the second picture was of a pipe running from the kettle, and the steam flowed through the pipe to a windmill at the other end; the third The picture shows the windmill spinning rapidly driven by steam.

The next picture is a hand-painted version, which looks more abstract: a train with a huge kettle on it, connected to the wheels by pipes, to make the train move...

In order to make the whole process more straightforward, Felix deliberately marked the color of the steam to be very conspicuous. It looked like a train carrying a kettle monster with fangs and claws, constantly spraying venom.

"Is this what Muggles call a steam engine? That's what they use to drive the train?" Belby said excitedly. "You know so much, Felix!"

Three days before the end of the school year, Felix received an invitation letter signed "International Confederation of Wizards" - an organization similar to the United Nations, except that the members are all the Ministry of Magic.

"How did they find me?"

Felix opened the letter and raised his head after a while, "It turns out that a subordinate organization of the International Federation of Wizards invited me to Paris for a meeting, the Muggle Study Group? Tsk tsk, I haven't heard of it at all, it's not a newly established one in recent years, right? …”

From the more formulaic rhetoric of the invitation letter, Felix can tell that this research group adopts a strategy of casting a wide net and catching more fish, and maybe even a little famous Muggle research expert will be invited.

The next day, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Boubaji, and the feedback he got was not what he expected, and she also received an invitation.

"You too?" Bubbage stared at him, "Oh, of course you have the qualifications. I mean, you're too young, I didn't think of that."

"Professor Boubaji, do you know where this so-called research group came from?"

"I do know a little bit," Bubagi said. "It seems to be an issue led by the US Ministry of Magic, dealing with crises or something. It's all clichés, you know, they've always been sensitive to Muggle issues."

Felix nodded thoughtfully.

Then the two agreed to meet in Paris and left.

He also wanted to see how 'experts' in other countries viewed the Muggle issue.

In the next two days, Felix handled all kinds of chores: assigning holiday homework to the little wizard, saying goodbye to Belby's safe departure with other professors, applying to Dumbledore to stay in school, attending the school dinner...

In front of the station, the little wizards happily boarded the train, and Felix watched silently in the corner.

The most conspicuous is the tall figure of Marcus Flint, who has been hiding from himself since the exam;

Followed by Clémy Vera with wide glasses, she found Felix immediately after the exam, hoping to maintain correspondence after graduation and accept his ancient rune guidance;

Several other graduates expressed similar wishes, which Felix did not refuse.

In addition, the little wizards who impressed him this year appeared one by one:

albert balk, percy, penello, jeffrey, pet selton, warren pardis, twins, cedric, harry potter, ron weasley , Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood...

He also saw a somewhat depressed Draco Malfoy, and Felix was silent in his heart. He already knew that Lucius had struggled several times, but he was still kicked out of the school board, and his son was inevitably affected.

Felix watched the Hogwarts Express roar away.

When the shadow of the train disappeared from sight, he turned and left the platform.
