"Professor." "Hello, Professor Happ."

Harry, Cedric, Ron and Hermione greeted them.

"Come and sit down." Felix nodded at them. He waved his wand and four small low tables emerged from the grass. The four of them chose their seats and sat down.

One by one, small teacups jumped into their hands. The long-necked, narrow-mouthed teapot behind them bent gracefully and poured out amber liquid.

Harry drank the tea. He rarely drank tea, but he thought it tasted good. The long-necked teapot came over to refill it for him. He curiously scratched the big belly of the teapot with his fingers, and it suddenly trembled, as if it was tickled, shaking "clang clang", and the tea spilled all over the small low table.

"Sorry, professor? It suddenly became..." Harry said in confusion.

"Oh, it's not your problem." Felix waved his wand and made the teapot quiet down again. "I want to make them active recently and become more autonomous... but sometimes they seem too lively."

Hermione asked in surprise: "Did you give them intelligence?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It should be said that it is a kind of dull response. From the feedback mechanism alone, they are actually more advanced." Felix pointed to the small platform in front of him.

The four people's eyes fell on the magic puppets-

the drama was still going on. These "actors" seemed to have their own wisdom. Some were full of emotions and read the lines very fluently, while others were a little perfunctory. They stopped from time to time, as if they had forgotten the words, and continued after a few seconds. The guys who had no

tasks next to them would look around and seemed very unprofessional. For example, a magic puppet that looked like a weird old man, he was holding a wine jug and put a mouthful of it into his mouth from time to time.

Harry stared at it for a long time, and finally confirmed that the small wine flask was just a decoration. He said strangely: "Professor, they can be lazy?" He searched his memory, looking for similar examples: "Just like the portraits in school, they have their own interests and hobbies?"

Felix explained, "Their intelligence is similar to that of the portraits, but in essence, they have no emotions, and all their behaviors are designed. Of course, I don't intend to let them have the same intelligence as humans, just being able to understand simple commands will do."

The four people listened with a confused look, and Ron said enviously: "It sounds a bit like a house elf, which can help you with housework. I once looked forward to having one and asking it to do my homework for me."

Hermione said: "Ron, they won't do these boring things."

"No, Hermione, you don't know. They do everything. They are all-rounders." Ron retorted, "If you don't believe me, ask Harry. Dobby should have told him?"

Harry shook his head. "Dobby didn't mention much about his life in the Malfoy family, but it should be pretty bad." He looked at Felix, "Professor, is Dobby okay now?"

The day before the start of the school year, Dobby resigned from the Leaky Cauldron and is currently handling some book publishing issues for Professor Happ.

Felix nodded and smiled and said, "He's doing well. I'm considering giving him a raise..." He waved his wand and ended the drama performance. "Okay, let's get back to the topic. Are you all going to join the Rune Club?"

"Yes, professor." Harry took out a stack of parchment. "This is my thesis." Ron also took out a few wrinkled parchments from his schoolbag. He tried to smooth out the curled corners of the paper.

Felix tapped on it and it immediately became neat.

Ron asked with great interest, "Professor Hepp, what kind of magic is this?"

Felix said in a relaxed tone, "It's just a simple trick, it's not even magic."

He turned his head and looked at Cedric, "Diggory, judging from your performance in class, you are fully qualified..."

Cedric refused, "I have practiced privately for a long time, and I want to show you the results."

Felix agreed. He took out a semi-finished magic puppet from the ring, which had only a faint trace of magic words on it. "You have about two hours, I think it should be enough."

Cedric took it with great energy and began to work seriously.

Felix waved his wand to quiet down the area around him and avoid being disturbed. Cedric was surprised at first, but then he understood and smiled at Felix to express his gratitude.

Students who were taking the test came one after another, and they also looked at this space curiously. Several seventh-grade students pointed and talked, showing nostalgic expressions.

A senior girl said with emotion: "We had a magic practice class here last year. I dug up three hidden boxes and put together a precious magic manuscript."

Harry and the other two began to record the information of the people who took the test. They saw many familiar figures.

Harry saw several of his teammates, "Angelina, Alia, Katie, you are all here!" He also saw the twins coming from a distance and joked, "Is it a team party today?"

"Oh no, Katie and I will try it. Alia is very promising." Angelina said, "As for Wood, he didn't come. I guess he is hiding somewhere to study new tactics. In his last year, he must hope to win another Quidditch cup."

As they were talking, the twins came over with their shoulders on each other, looking like they were playing some game. When they got closer, Harry found that their legs were tightly stuck together.

"We are testing the limits of the sticking spell." Fred said with a wink. "Isn't it cool?"

The three girls giggled. Angelina waved her hand. "Oh, don't make me laugh."

The twins performed exaggeratedly, but they didn't control the distance well and rolled to the ground together.

Ron rarely saw the twins being embarrassed. He took the initiative to come over, squatted in front of them with a smile, and held a piece of parchment. "Excuse me, what are the assessment contents you chose--"

The twins lay on the ground. Fred said cheerfully: "Silly children, we are here to watch the fun. We have already received an internal invitation."

Ron looked at them in surprise: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I think Hermione also got a place." "

But she wrote a paper like us!" Ron said.

Hearing Ron's words, Fred looked at George and said pretentiously: "Shouldn't we reflect on ourselves? This will make us look lazy."

George sighed, "Fortunately, we are also prepared."

The two stood up from the ground, walked to Felix, and took out a palm-sized heart-shaped square from their pockets. "Professor, do you remember the couple mirror last semester? This is the finalized product."

Felix played with the magic creation in his hand. It looked more delicate. One side was painted black and the other side was painted pink. He touched it with his finger, and the heart-shaped square automatically split into two halves.

"You designed them as a pair? Ingenious idea..."

Its interior is similar to a small makeup mirror, but the middle is not a lens, but a carefully polished circular plane with a layer of silver powder on it.

On the outside of the circular plane, there are some patterns carved. Felix stroked these uneven patterns and felt familiar traces.

"Is this the magic loop I taught you last year?"

"Yes, we referred to your suggestion and used the magic loop to store synchronous magic. The effect is very good - the information transmission is more accurate and the communication distance is longer." Fred said.

George said: "We also added magic to prevent cracking."

Percy appeared at some point. He and Penelope Clearwater from Ravenclaw College stood far away.

Penelope said to Percy: "They seem to have developed something amazing, that couple mirror."

"You know?" Percy said unexpectedly.

Penelope said calmly, "They sneaked into the Ravenclaw common room two days ago to promote their new products, and they also wrote down several names who were interested in buying them."

"You didn't chase them away?"

"Why? Ravenclaw welcomes anyone as long as they can answer the questions at the door correctly. And," she laughed, "I also left my name on the list."

"Penelope, how could you..." Percy looked at the twins in the distance and stopped talking. His two younger brothers were talking and discussing seriously with Professor Happ, with high spirits on their faces.
