A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

"The idea is feasible." Felix saw more possibilities from this simple attempt. He felt that if he worked hard, he could be like the sleeping guard statue in the castle.

However, he didn't think he could complete a magical creation similar to a Sorting Hat or a diary.

The latter is easy to say, after all, it is a Horcrux, with a piece of Voldemort's soul hidden in it, but what about the Sorting Hat? Its predecessor was just a hat for Gryffindor, not something specially made for the Sorting House.

According to Felix's imagination, the four founders may have questioned each other's "talent selection plan" when they shared afternoon tea. In order to resolve their differences, they decided to use "smart magical creations" to conduct division.

Thus was born the Sorting Hat. The Sorting Hat has been around for thousands of years. It can communicate with people and has its own memory and character. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real life.

This reminds him of magical portraits that can also communicate with people.

Some simple portraits, such as Sir Cadogan in the Castle, are extremely simple in their wits and incapable of engaging in complex and structured conversations.

As a result of Felix's probing in school, the boastful jazz could only give seven types of valid feedback, such as boasting about his brilliance or issuing an invitation to a duel.

And some of the portraits are magical enough - they can have complex interactions with the outside world, and they still retain a considerable amount of memory.

As far as he knows, the portraits of the previous headmasters in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, as well as the ancestors of some pure-blood families, are all in this category.

This is because the owners of the portraits have injected a lot of memory and magic into this, so that the portraits they left still maintain a similar character to the original owner, but they are only similar, and they are not real life.

The biggest difference is that the characters of the portraits do not change over time, but are always fixed at the moment they are made, like a complex set of interactive programs.

This is fundamentally different from the Sorting Hat...

"The Sorting Hat definitely hides a bigger secret!"

...

Christmas dawn came, and Felix got dressed and came out of the bedroom. Under the small Christmas tree in a corner of the office, a large number of Christmas gifts of different shapes are piled up.

Roughly counted, there are almost hundreds of them.

Moreover, there are still quite a few packages on the way. During the period of time he was making tea, three owls flew into the house through the window he deliberately left last night. One of them obviously flew a long distance, holding a delicate gift box the size of a palm in its mouth, and collapsed on the table in front of him tired.

Felix had to feed it a few drops of potion, and it was much better.

After eating a few small biscuits, the brown owl jumped up in front of him and lightly pecked his fingers with its pointed beak, "You want me to open the package?"

The owl looked at him, tilted its head, and stretched out a paw at him, where a small metal cylinder was tied.

Felix opened the cylinder and pulled out a rolled-up note--

"Dear Mr. Felix Hepp, my wolf's poison potion has been finalized. By the time 'Bai Xian' flew to you, I had submitted the official formula to the Ministry of Magic. Barring any accident, I will Recently awarded an Order of Merlin - at least 2nd class! I hope you will come to watch the ceremony. I enclose a bottle of the latest wolf's poison potion, please taste it."

Signed Damocles Belby.

Felix quickly wrote on it, "It is an honor, please notify me as soon as the date is set, I will be on time. Also: Your Merlin Medal is well deserved."

He put the note back into the metal cylinder, "Thank you for your hard work, Bai Xian." The owl drank some water, spread its wings and left.

Felix opened the exquisite gift box, there was a bottle of potion, he opened the lid, and sniffed lightly, "Well, it still smells so bad, can't he consider adding some sugar? Or make the potion unpleasant to drink? The quirks of all magic masters?"

He put the potion into the emerald ring on his left hand, and began to open presents with great interest.

A considerable part comes from his book fans and pen pals, mainly greeting cards. Felix sorted them out, putting them aside for now, and the rest were gifts from Hogwarts professors and students.

Dumbledore sent a private alchemy manuscript, his personal experience on alchemy. And Felix gave the Headmaster a Muggle book called 99 Inventions That Changed the World, paired with a pair of woolen socks embroidered with red lions.

Professor McGonagall sent a book called "The Quidditch Teams of England and Ireland", which is an introduction to the Quidditch teams in England and the various honors they have won. It also contains a lot of Quidditch skills. illustration.

It looked as if she wanted to pull Felix into the circle of Quidditch fellowship.

Hagrid gave him a self-made short dagger, rather crudely made, but made of a very special material - unicorn horn.

"Tsk." Felix smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.

Professor Flitwick sent a document on ancient magic and invited him to have time to discuss it with him. Felix replied happily.

Professor Snape's gift was a thumb-sized clear bottle containing about a milliliter of clear liquid.

"It's a potent Veritaserum. It's yours, Professor," he said happily. "I hope you'll like my present too." Measuring cups, balances and droppers, etc.

He also thoughtfully matched a copy of the "Code of Conduct for Chemical Experiments (Children's Edition)", which contains a lot of pictures, so that the professor could not understand it.

Many young wizards at Hogwarts also gave him gifts. His assistant, Miss Granger, gave him a dark green knitted scarf, Potter gave him a large bag of chocolates, and Ron Weasley gave him a box of biscuits. Nourishing bee candy.

The most interesting thing was the gift from the twins. It was two wooden lovers dolls hugging each other. They looked rougher than Hagrid's short daggers. The facial features were all drawn. Felix followed the instructions. Knocking on the head of the male doll, he screamed in pain, and then the two dolls trembled and danced a zombie dance.

Although the twins introduced that it was a kind of "waltz" in a small African country, Felix ignored it directly.

In addition, some young wizards who have not seen each other a few times also sent gifts, such as Justin Finch, who sent a gorgeous quill with a combination of functions.

It took Felix an hour to finish writing the letter and returning the gift.

He entered the auditorium, and there were scattered little wizards sitting on four long tables.

More than a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost were hung with all kinds of new and interesting baubles, ribbons of mistletoe and holly hung from the ceiling, and enchanted snow fell.

Professor McGonagall and several professors were busy decorating the auditorium.

"Need help?" he asked.

Professor McGonagall straightened up. "Oh, no, it's almost done." She waved her wand and hung a long colorful ribbon on the tree, turning to him and saying, "I love your present, Felix. s."

Felix smiled, and what he gave to Professor McGonagall was a half-human-high magic puppet with more than a dozen complex circuits built in, which allowed it to have two forms - in addition to the human form itself, it can also be transformed into a A mighty lion.
