A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

In the first class of the new semester, Felix felt the restlessness of the little wizards. They were all waiting to go to the courtyard to see the Basilisk after class.

He cleared his throat, and after attracting the attention of the little wizards, he waved his wand gently, "Oolong out of the hole." Accompanied by a cloud of black air, a small snake surrounded by black spots fell on the table. .

It made a "hissing" sound, and its slender body kept twisting.

The little wizards raised their heads and stretched their necks to see clearly.

As Felix's wand slid down its scales, the black-spotted snake's appearance changed dramatically—its smooth scales became thick and firm, giving it a metallic quality; its color It has also become green, glowing with the gorgeous light unique to poisonous snakes.

Even its body swelled a lot, it raised its flat snake head, and a pair of yellow eyes looked cold and hideous.

"Professor, is this... a basilisk?" a student asked.

"That's right."

"So, Potter and the others defeated this little guy?"

The little wizard in the audience was a little disappointed and said that it was too small, about three or four feet.

Especially when the little basilisk shrank on the podium, it looked even more inconspicuous.

Many little wizards suddenly had an illusion in their hearts: I can do it if I go.

But the appearance of the basilisk is very intimidating, especially the pair of yellow eyes, which look really infiltrating.

Felix was noncommittal about their attitude, and went on to explain: "The biggest threat to the basilisk is the eyes, they are extremely lethal. In other words, when you see it, you may have lost the power to fight back forever. "

The discussion below the stage was much quieter.

"and--"

He waved his wand, and the little basilisk huddled on the podium suddenly jumped up from the table, causing the little wizards in the front row to lean back.

But when it crossed an arc in mid-air and just fell into the center of the classroom, the little basilisk's body suddenly swelled up rapidly.

It magnified a dozen times in an instant, and before they could react, it filled most of the classroom space.

"Ah ah ah!" Many little wizards screamed and hurriedly avoided the huge basilisk that was pressed down, but soon they found that the body of the basilisk had changed from a solid body to a black mist.

A little wizard sitting on the ground summoned the courage to reach out and touch it, and his hand went straight through the black mist. He raised his head and saw that half of the bodies of many people were poking into the black mist, and at this moment they were moving out in horror.

Felix said with a nasty taste: "Well, this is the original size of the basilisk."

After a while, the little wizards calmed down after finding that this thing didn't do them any harm.

Several students got up from the ground in embarrassment, and one of the little witches named Campbell King stirred the black mist-like basilisk with a wand, stirring the scales near her into a black mist again.

Many young wizards imitated curiously, and in the process, the black mist-shaped basilisk kept wandering and twisting in the small classroom, and the huge snake body passed through the desks, chairs, books, men and women.

But at this time, most of the little wizards were no longer afraid. They poked it with their wands with great interest, and sparks of various colors flickered from time to time in the shadowy black mist.

After a few minutes, the basilisk shrank back to three or four feet, and its body changed from a black mist back to a green gleaming entity.

"Professor, is this the real appearance of the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets?" a little wizard asked in awe.

"You can understand that." Felix made a chair and sat on it. "Since you are curious about basilisks, let him teach you a lesson today."

The little wizards looked at each other in confusion, but at this moment, a voice similar to that of Professor Hep came from the mouth of the basilisk.

"Opening the book now to page 79, we will study an excerpt from a manuscript translated in 1842 by Carlisle Matthews, an expert on ancient runes, from about seven hundred years ago."

Many little wizards were startled, but with their previous experience, they were not so embarrassed that they fell from their seats again, but stared at the little boy in front of the podium with his upper half raised high with big eyes. On a basilisk.

They blinked suspiciously, and then looked at Professor Haipu, who was sitting in the corner of the podium, with countless complicated thoughts surging in their hearts.

And the little basilisk opened his mouth, revealing thin, dagger-like teeth, "Yeah, that's me, your ancient Rune professor. So, what are you waiting for?" The basilisk suddenly approached the front The little wizard in the row was so frightened that she dropped her quill.

"Campbell, tell me, what did I just say?"

"Teach, Professor, you just said the rune Eoh, which means the yew tree, which symbolizes death and regeneration, and can also mean continuity and maintenance." The little witch named Campbell King stood up and stammered.

"That's right, Ravenclaw plus ten," said the basilisk, spitting out his letter.

Campbell sat down with a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"So, why didn't you write it down?"

The rest of the little wizards began to write quickly.

In the rest of the course, the little wizards gradually accepted this somewhat weird "Professor Snake". The Professor Snake kept walking on the aisles on both sides, and from time to time, he approached the indifferent little wizards and stared at a pair of Yellow eyes exclaimed, "Don't look at me, read!"

And Professor Haipu, who was sitting in the corner, had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and he seemed very happy.

As get out of class drew to a close, Felix stood up, waved his wand, and with the reluctant expressions of the little wizards, turned their snake professor back into a black mist.

"Today's homework is to retell the content of this manuscript. The request is a piece of parchment, and the knowledge learned in the third and fourth grades must be used."

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, there were "crackling" footsteps and noises in the corridor - these little wizards couldn't wait to rush out and went straight to the courtyard. In the fifth grade ancient rune classroom, the little wizards packed up their things in a trance and walked out of the classroom slowly.

"Hey! Campbell, hurry up and go see the Basilisk!" her friend stopped her, cheering. "I was looking forward to this last Transfiguration class."

Campbell said indifferently: "You go first."

"how about you?"

"I suddenly lost interest in basilisks," Campbell said.

The little wizard who walked out of the ancient Rune classroom with her also nodded in agreement. Not only did they spend a lesson with the Basilisk, they were also taught to learn ancient Rune by it.

...

In the courtyard, many little wizards were already surrounded, and they were crowded together, shadowy.

In the middle of the little wizard is a huge basilisk, forty feet long. Its body is as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and its scales are as large as a palm. It looks very rough and glows icy green. Light.
