A Hogwarts Magical Writing Professor Chapter 454: Transaction



Let me enlighten others... Neville thought blankly, and his heart suddenly felt heavy, that was the weight of responsibility.

He liked this feeling.

...

On the other side, Professor Marchbank and old Vera walked in the corridor of the castle.

"A very talented young man, I realized when I was invigilating him that he would achieve great things!" Marchbank said loudly.

Old Vera didn't seem to agree.

"You shouldn't underestimate a great wizard." Professor Marchbank pointed out.

"The great wizard... you mean him?" Old Vera's eyes widened. The short Professor Marchbank looked at him without hesitation. He opened his mouth several times, but was defeated by her stern gaze.

"Don't tell me you don't pay attention to the news, Hedstrang!" Professor Marchbank said loudly.

Old Vera was speechless. If there is anyone in the entire wizarding world who pays the most attention to Felix's news, he will definitely be ranked first. God knows what his expression was when his granddaughter found the comic book in the study.

He is not worried that this kid will smash a few bricks of the ancient magic building one day!

"I just read his book 'Exploration of Ancient Runes' two days ago! That was his level three years ago," Professor Marchbank said unceremoniously, "It's more exciting than the introductory manual of runes you published!"

Old Vera opened her mouth to refute, but she continued, "I also wrote to Babelling! She praised him highly in her reply!"

"That half-blood——" Old Vera frowned, and when he saw Marchbank's stern gaze, he immediately shut up and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It seems that she had a reason to refuse to join you!" She said dissatisfiedly.

Several students in the corridor looked over, and neither of them spoke. They came to the spiral staircase and went downstairs. "What day is today?" Professor Marchbank asked loudly.

"What? Uh, I think it should be Sunday——Ouch!" Old Vera was thinking, and his foot sank into a step of the stairs without paying attention, and he was stuck.

There are many such tricky stairs in Hogwarts. For students, skipping them has become an instinct. Old Vera hasn't been here for more than half a century, and he clearly remembers that there was nothing unusual in the morning.

"It turned out to be Thursday." Professor Marchbank said thoughtfully.

...

When Felix went to the auditorium for lunch at noon, he pasted the questionnaire of the Experimental Spell Committee handed over by Professor Marchbank on the bulletin board in the entrance hall and attached a bubble charm to the outside.

Then he waved his wand, and a piece of parchment flew out of the ring and was pasted on the wall, with glowing handwriting on it.

When he left, the little wizards gathered from a distance and read the new notice:

'Any individual student, group or teacher who has studied the stable combination of ancient magic words and spells can get a questionnaire of the "Experimental Spell Committee", answer it in detail according to the requirements and send it to the Experimental Spell Committee with a paper. After being reviewed as a valid new spell, they will be awarded the honor of "Spell Inventor" and have the opportunity to obtain the right to name the spell.

The content and word count of the paper refer to the front-page article "The Invention of a New Spell: The Combination of the Water-Creation Spell and the Ancient Rune 'Water Flow'" of the Daily Prophet on March 12. The paper template can be obtained from any member of the Rune Club.

Each person is limited to one questionnaire. If there is not enough, you can copy the ones in other people's hands.

Note: This is the most convenient and safest way to print your name on the textbook.

Come on!

Signature: Felix Heppe, Professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts.

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

An excited voice sounded behind them: "Warren! Look! We just finished the relevant paper yesterday!" Seventh-year Pete Seldon pulled a Ravenclaw boy's sleeve and squeezed forward. "Oh, Hermione, Harry, Ron, hello." Seldon greeted.

"Hello." Warren Pardis also said that they were both the first members of the Rune Club.

Harry and the others greeted each other in a flurry.

"Printing your own name on a textbook... sounds really attractive." Seldon said with narrowed eyes, reaching out his hand into the sticky bubble on the notice board, slowly pulling out a piece of parchment from it, and Hermione saw the official seal of the Ministry of Magic with sharp eyes.

"Eh~ How disgusting! The professor's bad taste!"

Seldon said as he pulled his hand out, her fingers were clean. Pardis also took a copy, and the two left together.

"Let's hurry up, otherwise we can only borrow someone else's." Hermione said decisively, and they each took a copy. Standing not far away from the crowd, they read it.

Harry read the questionnaire, and the first line on it was a string of small words: 'Please fill in the name of the inventor of the spell truthfully, and ensure that all people involved in the research and development of the spell are signed to avoid disputes:'

The first question is: Describe the principle of the spell in brief language.

The second question is: Describe the effect of the spell in brief language.

The third question is: Confirm the type of spell: general practical spell/protection spell/evil spell/poison spell/curse/destruction spell/transfiguration/other.

...

"Oops!" Ron shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Harry and Hermione asked in unison, looking down at the question.

"Look at the first line!" Ron stared, reading word by word: "'Make sure that all people who worked on the development of the spell are named...'" He looked at Harry meaningfully.

"Malfoy!" Harry gasped, his body shivering.

At this moment, Draco Malfoy, with his hands in his pockets, led two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, swaggering towards the notice board. "I heard someone calling my name..." Draco said with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing!" Harry and Ron said immediately.

Draco looked at them with suspicion. He stared at the content on the notice board and tilted his head at Crabbe. Crabbe followed his gaze and stared back.

"Go get a copy." Draco said slowly, and Crabbe immediately squeezed into the crowd. Ron quietly pulled Harry's sleeve, and Harry retreated knowingly.

"Wait, Potter!" Draco said. Harry turned his head woodenly and looked at him coldly, "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly, Malfoy."

Draco: "I heard that Professor Happ is giving you special treatment?"

Harry, Ron and Hermione felt nervous. The professor asked them to keep it a secret, but Harry had been learning for almost three months. He would report to the Ancient Runes Office once a week, so he would be seen a few times.

"So what? Are you jealous, Malfoy?" Ron covered and took the initiative to provoke.

Draco glanced at him, lazily took out a small note from his pocket and raised it. He grinned and said, "Sorry, I have it too."

"What is it?" Harry said impatiently, and was stunned. "You are going to receive special training from Professor Happ?" He shouted loudly, and Ron and Hermione also showed incredible expressions.

"You can see for yourself, Potter." Draco was very happy. Harry snatched the note and read the contents of the note with Ron and Hermione.

"It's true." Hermione said softly. She recognized the familiar handwriting on it at a glance.

At this time, Crabbe squeezed out of the crowd and handed the questionnaire to Draco. Draco glanced at it quickly and his eyes stopped at the first line.

"Tsk tsk." He said.

Ron and Hermione looked up from the note, looking very frustrated and puzzled. Harry was still reading the small words on it again and again, as if trying to find a flaw.

"No name," Harry said.

"What did you say--" The smile on Draco's face froze. "

No name," Harry repeated, looking at him suspiciously: "It doesn't mention the name of the spell, just asks you to report to Professor Happ's office every Saturday."

Draco walked in front of Harry and said softly: "Because it needs to be kept confidential, but I can tell you, Potter..." His light eyes sparkled, "It's Apparition and Disillusionment."

He looked at Harry's shocked expression with satisfaction. "Yes, this has always been your privilege, right? Violating school rules recklessly without any punishment, and having fans everywhere, even professors are no exception--"

"So you are jealous?" Harry looked at him without avoiding, and repeated what Ron said.

"You can think so." Draco actually admitted it and snatched the note from Harry. He gestured to Crabbe and Goyle and walked towards the hall.

Harry stared at his back, silent.

"Who knows what he did to please Professor Hep!" Ron looked at Harry worriedly, and said sharply: "Maybe his father bought two hundred magic phonographs at once!"

...

That evening, Felix was writing a letter in the office. He stretched out his index finger and tapped the letter lightly, and the handwriting on it disappeared little by little -

"Lucius, thank you for your reminder, your information is very useful. Remember: in the future, every abnormal movement of the Dark Mark, no matter how slight, must be promptly reminded to me. In return, I will abide by my promise and train your son in life-saving magic, starting this Saturday..."

He put the letter into an envelope, sealed it, stared at the blank envelope for a while, put it aside, and picked up a stack of manuscripts from the drawer.

This is a booklet on the introduction of runes that he planned to complete, which is used to promote the use of runes. It contains detailed analysis of the origin and development of ancient runes, and the most important illumination.

It is never easy to learn an ancient magic, even the simplest illumination. In particular, Felix also planned to adopt a method similar to correspondence courses, which usually can only deceive squibs who have never learned magic.

But he had to challenge it.

The secret lies in the extreme familiarity with illumination and the magic rune cards. According to Remus's data, magic rune cards have sold a thousand sets in Britain, covering almost 40% of the potential buyers - that is, those families with young wizards who have not yet entered school.

This is of course inseparable from the overwhelming advertising and low prices.

For wizards who lack entertainment activities, magic rune cards are a good way to pass the time, whether adults or children. Of course, most parents just regard them as a kind of intellectual development toy - this concept was also proposed by the young people of the "Future World" company. In order to come up with advertising slogans that satisfy the boss, they can be said to be very painstaking.

Time passed little by little, and the night gradually deepened. Sniff Valen yawned, and his bright black eyes moved away from the comic book, blinking sleepily.

"Chirp!"

"Wait a little longer... Valen, don't worry about me." Felix said with a smile, turning over another page of the manuscript and continuing to revise.

"Chirp! Chirp? (Wait for that fool who can do magic?)"

Felix laughed.

"Don't call him a fool, Andes shouldn't use gold galleons to do magic in front of you. Not only did you take it away, but you also laughed at him..." He tapped Valen's pink beak and said. "It's Dobby." He explained.

"Chirp!" Valen got excited and drank a sip of lemonade with a straw. His shiny black fur suddenly became fluffy, making him immediately energetic. "Huh Chirp? (Is it that rich man?)"

"Well, Dobby has been collecting gold buttons recently."

Finally, the small golden clock on the desk struck twelve o'clock. Almost at the same time, a copper Knut in Felix's hand became hot. At this time, Dobby asked, and Felix waved his hand to disperse the warning magic in the room. Almost half a minute later -

"Shh!"

Dobby, the house elf, suddenly appeared in the office.

Valen's eyes widened, "Chirp, chirp!"

"Oh, Mr. Hep, hello!" Dobby bowed deeply and said, he raised his head and greeted Valen happily, "Hello to you too, Miss Valen!"

Valen was very happy, looking at Dobby with expectation, "Chirp?" Dobby

carefully took out a shiny metal button from his small suit pocket and said in a sharp voice, "This is what Dobby collected, for Miss Valen!"

Valen stretched out her little hand to take it, looked at it for a long time, took out a small golden bottle from her pocket and handed it to Dobby.

"Oh, Miss Valen is so generous!" Dobby said excitedly, he glanced at Felix, Felix smiled beside him, Dobby took it and looked at it repeatedly.

"It's transparent! Look, it's so beautiful! Dobby has received another gift!" Dobby put his tennis ball-sized eyes to the bottom of the bottle and looked around.

After a moment, Felix had to remind him, "Dobby, Lucius is still waiting..."

"Oh..." Dobby sighed, and his two bat ears drooped. It can be seen that he seemed to have been avoiding mentioning this matter.

"Don't worry, he dare not touch you." Felix said.

"Dobby knows that Dobby has the support of the great Mr. Hep! But Dobby is in a complicated mood..." The house-elf said, picking up the envelope that had been on the desk for a long time, "I don't have to talk to him, right?"

"No." Felix assured him. "If you want, you can throw the letter at his feet."

"Oh~" It can be seen that Dobby was very tempted, but he still refused, "Dobby now represents Mr. Hep, Dobby has no need to be afraid of him..." He puffed out his chest and said heroically.

"Chi Chi! (Your legs are shaking!)" Valen stretched out a finger.

Felix was very sober and Dobby didn't understand what Valen was saying.
