Archaeologists at Hogwarts

The little wizards who had spent their first weekend at school returned to class again. Almost everyone agreed that Professor Heimer was in a bad mood, and the first-year students who bore the brunt of it were the ones who bore the most anger.

"Recently, I heard a rumor in school."

Toby walked slowly in the ancient magic classroom, his hair always hanging in front of his eyes and not slicked back.

No one dares to look at the eyes hidden behind the hair.

In just one week, the students understood that Professor Heimer was the most difficult person to mess with at this time. Whenever he passed by a student, that student would lower his head lower.

Neither Neville, who had contact with him, nor Hermione, who was the editor, were no exception.

Everyone knows that Professor Heimer is famous for being selfless and treats students from all colleges with the same attitude - especially during class. In his eyes, there is no difference between colleges, only the difference between good students and poor students.

Toby seemed determined to pass by every student. He continued to say in a calm tone: "This rumor has something to do with me and the devil."

"I can only say that you may not know me well enough, nor do you fully understand ancient magic."

He walked back to the desk and glanced at the lowered heads of the students one by one.

"You will realize that I am much scarier than the devil."

There was silence in the classroom, not even the sound of loud breathing.

"Now, everyone turn to page seven of the textbook!"

Suddenly there was a series of sounds of turning books, and judging from the anxious movements of the students, everyone was worried that they would be the last.

"From today on, you will officially learn ancient magic."

Toby finally pushed his hair back and gave a smile that made the little wizards cringe.

"Magic circle."

"This is an extremely partial category of magic. Only the Lost City at the bottom of Loch Ness has the most complete inheritance. Now, I am bringing this inheritance back to Hogwarts. I hope you can listen carefully to every section.

Lesson, lest you turn yourself into a monster, or summon some monster inexplicably."

Just when he finished speaking, one arm was raised high.

"Miss Granger."

"Professor, what do you mean by turning into a monster and summoning a monster?"

"Excellent question."

Toby said it as if he was waiting for someone to ask a question.

"This is the original purpose of the magic circle. It is similar to a summoning spell to conjure objects out of thin air. I noticed that there are many speculations that the city under the lake has become a ruin, but there is no lack of food. As we all know, due to Gamp

Due to the law of transformation, the transformation spell cannot directly transform food, but the magic circle can do it, but it is more accurately called summoning, summoning food."

"So you must draw each magic circle well during the learning process to avoid summoning any weird things. As wizards, you also need to pay attention to it. A failed magic circle may turn you into a monster, even if

You are not within the scope of the magic circle."

"This is the danger of ancient magic, which requires precision and constant vigilance."

The looks the students looked at him were frightening enough, but Toby felt it was not enough and needed to add fuel to this fear again.

"How about I show you an example myself."

The students wanted to refuse, but no one dared to say this.

At the same time, the magic ball melted and fell to the ground again. Fortunately, this time it only covered a small area near the podium and did not surround the entire classroom again.

When another hexagram array flashed by, the small area completely changed its appearance and turned into that of the bottom of the lake. The shrunken Professor Heimer was swimming on the mudflat at the bottom of the lake, where a completely different path had been carved.

The six-pointed star formation looks extremely complicated.

Everyone stared at this scene with their eyes wide open - the magic circle began to work, and a dark and unknown light emerged from it. It looked very ominous, even a little evil.

Immediately afterwards, a strange-shaped thing suddenly appeared in the open space. Its figure was blurry and shrouded in a light layer of fog, but even this looked scary enough. The body showed an irregular shape, and the lake was covered in an inexplicable red color.

It's stained red, like--

"The product of a failed transformation that appears out of nowhere may also be deliberately created by a dark wizard and hidden in a certain corner of the world."

Toby explained: "This was a failed magic circle, and it summoned something extremely terrifying. Fortunately, I was at the bottom of Loch Ness and destroyed it with the largest horse-shaped water monster, otherwise something might have happened.

What."

"As for the specific appearance of this monster, I deliberately blurred it out. At least it is on the same level as the illustrations in the forbidden books in the library, and it is not yet time for you to see it with your own eyes."

Absolutely no one wants to watch this monster, and they don't understand why Professor Heimer would say the word "watch" so naturally.

The magic ball returns and floats next to Toby.

"According to my speculation, if compared with magical animals, this monster is at least 5X dangerous level, the same as the fire dragon, so I think you all know what to do in the future."

The students stared at him with pale faces, forgetting to even nod.

For some reason, Harry thought of the picture of a cow with its entire body turned open. Although he had never actually seen it, he thought it should be as scary as the monster at the bottom of the lake.

Fortunately, Toby's next words confirmed the reason why this course was chosen as a formal course. The magic circle is not so scary yet.

"At this stage, you don't have access to the content of the six-pointed star array. Even if you want to imitate the mistakes I showed, you can't do it. Most spells can be realized with the five-pointed star array, which is also the lowest level of magic.

Array."

"Generally speaking, a magic circle is composed of a magic core, an outer array diagram, a magic guide, an outer magic ring, an outer magic text and other components. This is the same as casting a spell with a wand, which requires the correct wand gestures, magic spells, etc.

Focus, and intention.”

"What you need to do is to understand the magic circle and use the magic circle to describe the magic you learned in other classes. I have communicated with Professor Flitwick in advance. As a starting point for learning magic circle, the floating spell is a good one.

Choose, this will also be your homework for this class, draw the correct magic circle on the parchment, and then hand it in."

When he said this, Toby suddenly paused.

The students' hearts trembled.

They saw Toby looking at them with a smile, a smile they absolutely didn't want to see.

"Any students who make mistakes in their homework will receive personal tutoring from me."

"At the beginning of the next class, I will also test whether you can draw the magic circle independently in class. If you can't, you will still receive personal tutoring from me."

He immediately blocked the possibility of students plagiarizing their homework - in the classroom test, all students who were cheating would immediately reveal their true colors.

Crabbe and Galton suddenly looked embarrassed, and they looked at Draco for help.

But Draco didn't dare to look at them. He had already received a reply from his father Lucius. Lucius told him not to mess with Professor Highmore under any circumstances - he dared to provoke the ancient curse himself.

Lytlin, even Lucius didn't expect that Toby was still alive.

In the pale silence, another arm was raised high.

"Miss Granger."

"Professor, besides the five-pointed star and the six-pointed star, are there other levels of magic circles? For example, the seven-pointed star? Isn't seven a magical number?"

“Interesting idea.”

Toby praised: "I have had the same confusion as you, but unfortunately, so far I have not been able to discover the existence of the seven-pointed star array, let alone what it is used for."

Al on the flying carpet nodded solemnly, working hard to assume the responsibility of a teaching assistant.

It didn't even look at the magic ball next to it, as if it didn't exist at all.
