A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Entering February, the snow in the school began to melt, and the air became humid and gloomy. As the first cold rain came, Professor McGonagall called seven of the most promising students to remind them that the rainy season had entered, and there were many There is a high probability of encountering thunderstorms.

Of course, this is a rhetoric to the students, the purpose is to make them feel more urgent and dare not relax, Felix has assured her in private that he can bring a storm to Hogwarts at any time.

Once again at sunset, Harry finished chanting the Animagus spell. While chanting the spell, he felt a little faster in his heartbeat, but he wasn't sure if it was an illusion. After hesitating for a while, he decided to wait two more days. Report back to the professor.

He walked into the courtyard and saw two familiar figures, one of whom left quickly after he appeared. He quickened his pace.

"Luna?"

"Hi Harry," Luna waved at him enthusiastically, even though Harry was already standing in front of her, "long time no see."

"It didn't take long," Harry muttered. "Did you just talk to Ron?"

"Yeah, but we didn't say a few words, and he left when he saw you, I think he was hiding from you," Luna said.

"Thank you for telling me that," Harry said. Luna showed her special talent again - telling the unpleasant truth in one sentence, he had never seen someone like her, "So... um, what did you guys talk about?"

Harry was trying to keep the conversation on track, and Luna couldn't let it go.

"He told me to 'go away'—"

"That's not it—sorry, Luna, I apologize on his behalf, Ron has been in a bad mood lately, acting like a total jerk... for part of my reason."

"It's okay," Luna said calmly, "Ginny told me a little bit that she shouldn't be so impulsive, even though she took more time to prove herself right, Ron deserved it... She also mentioned Hermione and Neville, do you mean my friends are fighting behind my back?"

Harry felt terribly awkward listening to Luna as if it was a good group activity and they didn't take her with them.

"No, Luna, I wonder if he mentioned anything special? Like—"

"His birthday," Luna said in a trance. "He said he screwed everything up and told me to stop bothering him. He looked annoyed, but it's not surprising, isn't it? It's a coming-of-age ceremony... I remember your birthday was at the end of July?" Her last sentence was no longer so dazed.

"That's right," Harry said absently, that wasn't what he wanted. "Thank you, Luna, but I'd actually like to know where he's been hiding all this time—wait, bar mitzvah?" He turned his head quickly, knowing that Ron's birthday was March 1st, and it was already a long time ago. Gifts are ready, but I don't think much of it in adulthood.

He suddenly realized one thing: Among the three of him, Ron, and Hermione, Hermione was the first to come of age, then Ron, and finally himself - July 31st, only a few minutes from now. to half a year.

Not much time left. he thought longingly.

Maybe Ron was trying to use the Animagos Transfiguration as his coming-of-age gift, and that's why he reacted so badly after failing? Harry subconsciously made excuses for Ron. By this time Luna had begun to answer Harry's second question.

"...I took it and asked Felix, my two gifts seemed to be inseparable, the Goblet of Fire model and the Goblet of Fire that Ginny gave me, he said it was a good phenomenon, although It was a bit of a surprise... Ron was there."

"You said you met Ron in Professor Hepp's office?" Harry caught the key words keenly. "What is he doing there?"

"... mouth full of chocolate cake, I almost didn't recognize it," Luna finished as if she didn't hear it. "I've seen it once. But maybe he's been there."

Harry returned with more doubts than before.

He really didn't expect Ron to be with Professor Hepp, because in his mind, the professor didn't seem to have contact with Ron alone, and even the confinement was with Ron with him, and what happened to the chocolate cake?

On the other side, Ron had walked a long way. He circled around, turned to the front of the castle, climbed the movable stairs, and sneakily knocked on the office of the ancient Rune professor.

It was Warren who opened the door.

"The professor is still in classroom seven?" Ron whispered.

Warren nodded numbly. Based on past experience, he knew that his snacks were about to suffer again, and Ron couldn't wait to dodge in. There are animations in there.

On the table were fruit preserves and Professor Hip's homework for Warren.

Except for the first time Felix was there, the remaining times were Ron that Warren received. As for the reason - Warren wanted someone to do homework with him, and the person who played this role most of the time in the past was Helen. Min, but she hasn't been here much lately and seems to be busy researching how to become an animal.

Warren was surprised by the idea. It also reconfirmed with Ron that Animagus can only turn wizards into ordinary creatures, not even magical animals.

Is there any need to learn this?

Warren thought about a series of forms of the Great Demon King he had seen - the Thestral with bat wings, the feathered snake that could grow bigger and smaller, the invisible beast that could become invisible, the ball-escape bird that suddenly disappeared and appeared, and the Thunderbird of thunder and lightning, white sable that divides itself in two...

Because the list was too long, it made Warren, who was caught in the memory, look like he was in a daze.

Ron opened the bag and took out the textbook and parchment. He paid the price for his actions. Now he can only write the homework himself, and he doesn't even have a reference person, but he really wants to prove that he can rely on no one.

Although the result of these times will basically be that he and Warren watch cartoons and eat snacks together. But at least Warren's homework didn't require much brainpower. He could read and write while he couldn't, which made Ron even more frustrated.

Are you really not good at doing anything?

He spread out the parchment grimacingly and began to write, one of the few people he could still talk to right now—not counting Lavender, she seemed to have a crush on him, and her presence was surprisingly strong during this time. , which is also one of the people he needs to hide from.

Warren took his eyes off the screen and looked down at it. It's alright, he didn't write the serial... It looked at Ron again, and leaned over to take a look. Ron raised his head warily, clutching the parchment.

"Haw?"

"What did you say?"

Warren sighed, the popularity of Sniffling is a long way to go, and so far, only three people can talk to it directly. Warren took out his special wand and wrote in the air—it could now write quickly and neatly: Who is 'Dear Collins'?

Ron sucked in a breath.

"Her name is Collins, not 'Dear Collins'—" He tried to explain the word formation to Yi Sniff, "It's a writing phrase, like 'hello'..."

The little stick continued to dance, and several new words appeared in the air.

'Dear Lavender? ’

Ron shook his head again and again, "No, it can't be used like this."

Warren squinted his eyes, as if looking at a liar.

...

When Felix came out of classroom seven, Ron was staring at the screen, and the story of cat and mouse came to a critical moment. His mouth was stuffed with strawberry biscuits. "Teach, professor?" said Ron guiltily.

"Well," Felix said, "you're here again, so the relationship is still frozen?" Roanne was silent. "Forget it, stay as long as you want. I said to the outside world that you were locked up by me. In short, don't disturb me."

He suddenly thought of something, "By the way, your birthday is March 1?"

"Yes, Professor," said Ron, swallowing hard, "a month before Fred and George."

Felix was sitting behind his desk, his chin resting on his right hand, his thoughts racing. Time flies so fast, the sixth grade students are also starting to grow up one after another, at the latest... it should be Harry's group at the latest, almost a year later than Hermione, tsk, I don't know their grades and Birthday is not directly related.

Felix's movements suddenly stopped.

adult……?

If I remember correctly, the bloodline protection spell that Dumbledore cast on Harry seems to be automatically lifted when he becomes an adult, right? Felix stared at Ron thoughtfully, making him uncomfortable.

"professor?"

"Shh, don't make a sound." Felix said softly, his whole body lost in thought.

There are two layers of protection on Harry's body.

One layer is from Dumbledore, linked by blood kinship, and automatically expires after adulthood; one layer is from Harry's mother, Lily Potter, only for Voldemort's death curse, but the effect should be permanent, but all spells have A limit, after resisting and rebounding Voldemort's Killing Curse, how effective can Lily's guardian magic be?

He and Dumbledore had had similar concerns before. But that's more because Voldemort's power is growing, indirectly leading to a deepening bond between him and Harry, and now with Voldemort's consciousness falling into silence, the impact is minimal.

But that's exactly what it means to have an impact. And in about half a year, Harry's own soul defense ability will plummet.

Felix wasn't sure for a while, how many variables would Harry's adulthood add to the soul fragments in his mind? However, he did feel a sense of tension that he had not seen for a long time, and it seemed... time was not as abundant as he thought. After thinking for a moment, he tore off a piece of parchment, dipped his quill with ink, and glanced at the calendar to find the nearest weekend—

'On February 8th, at the door of classroom No. 7; pay attention to confidentiality and try to solve the problem at 8 o'clock in the morning. ’

Felix folded the note and handed it to Ron.

"Hand over to Harry for me."

Ron's outstretched hand hung in the air, and he said falteringly, "Professor, can you let Hermione hand it over, I, I now—"

"Also." Felix didn't insist.

"Professor, what's the note about?" Ron swallowed and asked, suspecting that the professor wanted to secretly cook Harry's stove again, just like that Professor Bagshot.

"Well," Felix looked at Ron with a measured look, "actually it's nothing to tell you, it should have been clear earlier - you know who is locked in the depths of classroom 7?"

"...is a mysterious person."

"Well, it's time for Harry to face him."

pat.

The cauldron cake in Ron's hand fell to the ground.
