This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Who is Vincent's backer?

Muggle parents who own a gun shop?

No!

Without Dumbledore's acquiescence, he would never have bullied Slytherin.

So as long as this person is dealt with, the future of Hogwarts will not be decided by Black Swan.

"But what are we going to do?" Daphne didn't hold out much hope. "Even if all the school directors agree, they don't have the power to expel him."

Draco made a small fist and said, "Ministry of Magic."

That's right, as long as the school directors and the Ministry of Magic agree, even if Dumbledore is internationally famous, he will have to leave the school honestly.

"This is even more impossible." Daphne shook her head in disappointment, "Fudge has just taken office not long ago, so he won't risk offending him."

"I didn't say I was going to kick him out of school."

Draco leaned forward and crossed his arms on the table.

"Dumbledore, an old man with no knowledge of people, recruited a dark wizard like Quirrell into the school. If it weren't for Wayne -"

His originally cheerful face suddenly turned cold, "If it weren't for this bastard, we don't know what terrible things we would have experienced!"

Although Daphne had no objection on the surface, Pansy next to her noticed something.

"Don't worry, it will take at least ten days and a half to take Dumbledore away for investigation. This time is enough for us to completely ruin Wayne."

Higgs knew he had been given up.

It's best if you succeed, but you can also have a second plan if you fail.

He was unwilling to continue like this, "Please give me a little more time. I will complete the task before the Christmas vacation."

Blaise waved his little hand, "If you fail, don't come back. We, Black Swan, don't raise waste."

Draco didn't say anything, but his expression revealed his true thoughts.

"I will definitely come back with Wayne's hair." Higgs turned around with determination and left the Black Swan Club activity room.

It was just a hair, but he didn't believe he couldn't get it.

…

…

Gryffindor common room.

Vincent is teaching himself ancient runes.

The president spoke, and Vice President Percy had no choice but to hand over the class notes from the fifth grade.

"Wayne, do you want any other subjects?"

"Thank you, I don't need it right now."

"Don't forget to ask me if you need anything." Percy sat at the next table and went to review.

The Court of Owls is developing extremely well, and the President of the Boys' Student Union cannot escape.

Vincent opened this somewhat worn textbook.

The analysis on the first page made him frown.

Ancient runes are actually the runes in Nordic mythology.

Its original text has long been lost, but it was recorded by wizards in Scandinavia and the British Isles in their respective languages ​​during the Middle Ages.

namely the Germanic languages ​​and Old English.

According to Muggle mythology, Odin, the father of the gods, hung on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, understood it from the deep universe, and was finally taught to humans by Heimdall.

But whether it is ancient runes or runes, their characteristics are the same.

As long as mana is injected into the writing process, the things engraved with words will be as magical as magic props and alchemical items.

No wonder Nico Flamel's notes recommend that beginners of alchemy learn ancient runes. It turns out that there are many similarities between the two.

They can even be combined with each other in some special cases.

"The invisible beast symbolizes '0', and the unicorn symbolizes '1'..."

Vincent, who was bald from looking at the runes, simply gave up on Percy's Old English futhorc version and concentrated on learning Nico's Germanic futhark version.

"The 24 characters are divided into three parts in groups of 8, namely Freya, Aite, Hag..."

This time he became even more bald.

But there is no other way but to memorize these unique characters by rote.

After seven days of spare time, he felt that his young hairline had moved up slightly.

As for the progress, they must have all been recorded.

But if asked about the meaning of the individual words combined, he had no idea how to parse it.

Ancient runes are not as simple as one plus one.

Each wizard has his or her own set of magical runes.

They are used to sign documents or mark their ownership of an item in a manner similar to a signature.

Depending on the way of writing, a single text can contain many different kinds of information.

The meaning of combining them cannot be understood by rote memorization.

Another seven days passed, and Vincent finally had his own magic runes.

His cute signature before can finally be thrown into the trash can.

"?" This ancient rune contains basic information such as his current height and weight.

Powerful wizards can figure it out at a glance, such as Dumbledore.

…

…

On Saturday night, Snape was grading his first year's Potions essay assignment.

"It's interesting..."

A simple paper on efficient processing of materials caught his attention.

The efficiency and quality of manual grinding with a mortar and pestle are too low, so it can be replaced by a mechanical hand grinding machine.

The juice obtained by squeezing the Horklap fruit is too wasteful. You can insert a tube at the bottom and let it drip down drop by drop, and finally squeeze it to finish.

The method of obtaining the mucus of Flobberworm is too complicated. You can use smoke bombs made of chili peppers to choke it out, and then just wait for the smoke to evaporate.

Wait, smoke bombs?

Snape looked at the name column with a dark face.

There was a big "?" magic rune written there.

He lifted the long hair on his face, waved his wand and began to analyze the text.

This is a reassembled rune, and it is also a rune containing multiple information.

Snape split the "?" into "?" and "?", and found that these two pieces of information were not encrypted.

"Wow - I thought he was so smart!"

Whether he did it on purpose or was not capable enough, it took less than two minutes to deal with this magic rune.

[This signature is exclusive to:

The strongest student in the history of Hogwarts who is difficult to sort,

The president of the Court of Owls Club,

The founder of Gwent,

The only two wizards who have survived the killing curse of Nosed Tom,

The first professional snake hunter,

Vincent Edward Wayne. ]

Snape finished reading the first paragraph with a frown on his face.

He couldn't help shaking as soon as he read the beginning of the second paragraph.

[Dear Professor Snape:

Hello~

Well, I've been studying ancient runes recently, so you can take a break at night.

I promise I won't come over, really!

Oh, by the way -

The Fat Lady asked me to tell you not to bother her in the middle of the night again.

Finally...

...

...]

Snape almost sprained his waist when he read this long paragraph of ellipsis.

He took the quill pen and dipped it in red ink, and directly drew a big "t".

Face? I don't want it anymore!

...
