A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Through a message from a slightly talkative named Chagus Gaunt, Felix concluded that the ancient book came from a family called "Gaunt", or at least they had been in possession of it for a long time.

Because the following notes are full of praise for this great-grandfather.

More than one.

This gave Felix the pleasure of reading reviews.

The rune products Felix prepared to complete are also from this ancient book. The reason why they are "rune products" rather than "alchemy products" is because its internal circuit is completely constructed by one rune, and there is no future generation. Traces of alchemy.

Many people can't tell the difference, but Felix is ​​the exception - Rune can be used both on ancient magic and inscribed on objects because it's a language, a magical language.

Its essence is the exploration and summary of magic by ancient wizards.

Alchemy, on the other hand, partially inherited ancient runes and developed it on its own, with the aim of "leaving magic on objects and giving them special magical functions".

So the symbols used in alchemy cannot be called language, but only magical symbols.

But it also has advantages. In order to leave magic power on various items, many great wizards have tried various methods, leaving behind many incredible enchanting skills.

The master of this is the French alchemist Nick Lemay.

Compared with alchemy, magic creations can be regarded as "old antiques". This is one of the reasons why he believes that the notes are quite old.

...

The magic text product Felix wants to complete is called "Vine of Binding". It uses the extended growth characteristics of magical vines to launch a surprise attack. The advantage is that there is no need to chant, and the launch is stable and undisturbed.

But if you really want to say how powerful the power is, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. At least Felix has a question mark in his heart.

But he didn't value power either. What he valued was the ideas contained in it: first, the idea of ​​making rune products;

Unicorn, representing pure, kind;

The Devil's Web is a very aggressive magical plant. It always takes the initiative to attack all kinds of small animals and unlucky humans. Hunting is their instinct.

Under normal circumstances, the magical characteristics of the two are difficult to combine. Felix refers to the practice of ancient books and uses the beater willow to neutralize this antagonism. Although the beater willow is violent, it is actually not compromised. Unbuttoned neutral plants.

Felix waved his wand, broke up the mat woven from unicorn hair, and soaked it in clean water. Almost instantly, the water turned pitch black.

Felix: "..."

He changed several basins of water before washing the unicorn hair and drying it with magic.

It was only at this time that the unicorn hair showed its original appearance. The long, supple and smooth white hair stretched freely, and the warm light was constantly flowing, as if it was a creation of solidified mercury.

The other two main materials need time to cultivate, and the devil's net needs to wait for it to grow up. The willow branches need to be infused with magic power to make them more flexible to facilitate transformation.

Felix estimates that preparations won't be complete until at least the end of November.

However, I can think about how to optimize the rune circuit in advance...

As the days passed, Felix completed the first large-scale unified examination in five grades - the test he promised at the beginning of the school year.

The weekend before Halloween, he was busy marking exam papers.

Fortunately, he was not alone, and another assistant was working overtime with him.

Ten o'clock at night.

Hermione yawned, covering her mouth, and gave Professor Hepp a sneak peek.

"Professor, I have finished marking."

Felix raised his head, "I still have some, you go back first. Have a good Halloween party."

Hermione said good night and left the office. Walking on the road, she also looked forward to three days later. But what she was going to attend was not the party organized by the school, but the 500th anniversary of the death of Gryffindor's ghost "Nick Headless".

Back in the common room, many little wizards in Gryffindor were still doing their homework.

Ron let out a whimper. His Potions paper was eight inches short, and his History of Magic paper was a foot short.

"Why so much homework is left before Halloween!"

Ron shouted out the hearts of many young wizards, and they agreed, and then continued to bow their heads to make up for the homework.

Hermione sat next to Harry and Ron, and said politely, "If you had finished your homework earlier, it would have been less troublesome."

She is much busier than others. In addition to her homework, she not only has to complete the work of the ancient rune assistant, but also practice the rune taught by Professor Haipu. So far, she has mastered 19 runes.

Professor Hip said she had the opportunity to complete an alchemical artifact on her own this year.

Ron grimaced, "Stop being long-winded, and quickly lend me a paper on the history of magic."

"You have to do your homework yourself!"

"I'm just a reference, right, Harry?"

Harry nodded quickly.

In the end, Hermione lent them their homework anyway.

The festive atmosphere on campus grew stronger over the next two days. Although it was pouring rain outside the window and it was as black as ink, the house was bright and cheerful.

Professor Flitwick decorated the auditorium with live bats, Professor McGonagall transformed into huge colorful decorations, and the giant pumpkins of the Hagrid species finally found their place. They were carved into hollow-shaped lanterns, large enough to accommodate three or five people. inside.

There was wind on the campus that Dumbledore ordered a skeleton dance company to cheer up the festival.

Everyone is looking forward to the Halloween party.

Only Harry and Ron were gloomy, because Harry couldn't save face and agreed to "almost headless" Nick to participate in the 500th anniversary of his death, while Ron supported his brother and sacrificed himself to accompany him.

But the more they saw the lights in the auditorium, the more bitter the smiles of the two of them.

This bitterness finally reached its peak with the afternoon of Halloween.

At seven o'clock, the three went straight through the doorway, ready to go to the banquet. When passing by the auditorium, there are lanterns and candles shining. The giant jack-o-lanterns were each the size of a carriage, and some of the little wizards had already chosen their seats and were chatting and laughing.

As Harry squeezed through the crowd, he even saw one of the twins directing the ghost dolls, catching up with the little wizards one after another, spraying black air at their faces, and the magic golems making a "crunching" ghostly sound.

Just the day before, Felix handed out the results and fulfilled his promise. The first place in each grade received a customized version of the magic puppet, which was more powerful and contained more "moves".

And fourth-grade first place wasn't one of the twins, it was Hufflepuff's Cedric — who occupied the first place all year round. However, when he was choosing the prize, he was fooled by the twins and chose the ghost doll.

He is sitting with his friend now, but his eyes are on a third-year Ravenclaw girl. He suddenly regrets it. If he chose a beautiful young lady and gave it to this girl...

Cedric's heart turned back and forth, and the road under Harry's feet was also winding. They went all the way down and went straight to the basement. The sound of joy behind them became lower and lower, which was exactly how they felt.

Walking through an icy corridor full of black candles, they saw "nearly headless" Nick standing at the door of a room to greet guests, dressed up today with a black velvet curtain.

"Welcome, my dear friends, it's so nice of you to come..."

At almost the same time, Dumbledore also announced the official start of the Halloween party, and the cheers of the little wizards resounded through the auditorium.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other, their faces gloomy under the light of the blue candlelight, and the three walked in as if dead.
