In the Magic Club, the young wizards sat relaxedly on sofas of different sizes, chatting enthusiastically and discussing what they would do during the holidays.

"I will definitely go to the World Cup... I will also visit relatives with my family. My uncle has a monster with a high ridged back and a pair of long horns..."

At a corner of the sofa, Hermione whispered, "I guess he is talking about the horned beast. They are generally distributed in mountainous areas, with purple bodies and very aggressive personalities."

"Oh, Hermione, we have all finished the exam." Ron said.

"This is not the content of the exam."

"I know, you are just too excited to control yourself because Mr. Newt Scamander wrote back to you, so you found all his information and memorized it." Ron said.

Harry couldn't help laughing, and Hermione glared at them in embarrassment.

Harry was playing with a seven-sided Muggle coin. Professor Hep told him that he could only use Apparition outside the Room of Requirement when the entire coin turned into dazzling gold, but it was still missing a corner, and Harry had always hoped to fill it before the holiday.

Ron looked at the coin with envy. When he was practicing with Harry, he also tried several times, but he never succeeded. He always had a wish, which was to learn this magic before the twins, and then laugh at them.

"Harry, when is Professor Lupin's farewell party? Is it confirmed?" Ron asked.

"The day after tomorrow," Harry said, "It's a small dinner, some professors... and us."

"How strange," Ron said, "I thought Snape would treat him as a ouch!" Harry stepped on his foot in panic, and he came to his senses, "I mean, with Snape's attitude towards Professor Lupin, he definitely wouldn't mind revealing his secret..." Hermione said,

"Professor Snape knew it a long time ago, from the beginning, he didn't need to do this."

"What I mean is,"

Harry said thoughtfully, "maybe he was embarrassed, and Professor Lupin helped him, right? He doesn't know the Patronus Charm." Although he said so, he still couldn't be sure whether the silver light he saw from Snape's wand that day was his illusion.

Or was it just magic that had nothing to do with the Patronus Charm?

At this time, Professor Hepp came over with a shallow stone basin in his hand. The young wizards gathered around curiously.

"Is this... a Pensieve?" A sixth-grade student shouted, and said excitedly: "Professor, is this a Pensieve?"

"It's just a replica." Felix said with a smile, and he put the stone basin on the small low table so that everyone could see it clearly, "We will use it later."

In the gray stone basin, there was some silver substance, which looked like liquefied clouds or melted silver, slowly rotating.

Harry remembered that in the first Ancient Runes class, the professor had introduced this ancient magical creation, which can store and observe memories. He thought of his own nameless book and couldn't help but guess, maybe it has a similar function?

Felix sat down and smiled at everyone. "Many people know that I will teach you an ancient magic in the last period of the school year. I am very happy to see that you have all mastered the magic runes you will use."

"I named it Illumination Magic myself. I originally thought it could only be used for lighting, but I discovered some time ago that it also has a significant inhibitory effect on dark creatures and can dispel the dark fog caused by magic... In short, it is a good magic that can be classified as defensive magic." As

he spoke, Felix pronounced the strange syllables and grabbed his fingers forward. He deliberately slowed down the process to make everything traceable. The little wizards stretched their necks to look, fearing that they would miss a detail.

One after another, ancient magic runes appeared out of thin air, as if they had always been there, but had been invisible before. They were smaller than the tip of a little finger. These ancient magic runes overlapped each other to form a complex pattern. The next second, milky white light rippled and bloomed from the professor's fingertips.

"I just demonstrated the process of casting, not its power. In fact, it is difficult to evaluate the upper limit of this magic." Felix said with a smile: "But I don't think anyone will be bored enough to use up their magic power."

He suddenly stopped, because more than one little wizard was eager to try. He held his forehead. Well, he was thinking wrong. For him, this was boring, but for the little wizard, it was quite interesting entertainment.

So he warned again: "Although this magic is safe enough, the biggest danger is the discomfort after draining the magic power, but that feeling is very uncomfortable. I can only say that if you faint, you will be glad for yourself." The

serious attitude of the professor made the students restrain a little. Felix continued: "The power is huge and difficult to control. This is the characteristic of ancient magic, but why is it so? Has anyone thought about it?"

The members of the club discussed it all at once. After more than half a year, they are no longer novices in ancient magic runes. When it comes to practical magic runes, they are the strongest group of people in the magic world.

Although in Felix's opinion, it is still very weak.

"Because it requires a lot of magic power?"

"Obviously not. I guess it's because when the runes gather into a pattern, if something goes wrong, it will explode."

Draco Malfoy suddenly spoke up: "My father said that ancient magic is very evil. Once it takes shape, it has its own thoughts. It will extract the magic power and even the life of the caster..."

The discussion became weaker, and everyone looked at him with a shrinking look.

Felix clapped his hands, "Well, Malfoy, to some extent, I can't say you are wrong. This involves a question. How can we master an ancient magic..." "

First of all, the first step is to master all the ancient runes corresponding to magic, and it is best to reach the level of mastery, that is, to master the magical symbol of the rune itself;"

Runes appeared in the air in front of him, and these runes took various forms and then disappeared silently.

"Take illumination as an example. There is only one core, which means light, and there are six sub-core runes, representing its different characteristics; outside, there are seventeen less important runes."

Felix showed all these runes, and everyone present mastered them, at least the seven most core runes, all reached the level of mastery.

"The second step is to combine the magic runes in a specific order. In ancient times, this was a wizard's biggest secret. It would not be easily revealed unless it was to close relatives..."

"The reason is simple. The wizards at that time only mastered a small number of magics, and they were often similar. Once leaked, they would be easily targeted by the enemy."

"To complete this step, although it is not easy, it is not difficult either. The best way is to practice a lot. Except for some obscure ancient magic, this step is not very dangerous, especially the illumination technique we are going to talk about today."

Hermione nodded constantly, and her practice went relatively smoothly. Even if the rune sequence collapsed, it would only turn into pure magic. After each practice, she would write down her specific experience and look through it frequently.

"Finally, we have reached the key point, and the characteristics of ancient magic are also fully reflected here."

Felix glanced around and was satisfied to see that all the students were listening attentively. He continued, "The form of ancient magic is not fixed. The same magic may be used by some people as a fire phoenix, while others may be used as a fire bird, a fire lizard, or a fire crab..."

He gave an exaggerated example, and the little wizards laughed softly.

"Malfoy's first half of what he said is very true. Once ancient magic takes shape, it's as if it has its own thoughts. It will instinctively draw the caster's magic power and strengthen itself, like a greedy monster. At this time, you must have enough ability to control your own magic power to resist this suction;" "

In addition, ancient magic has no fixed form, so you must make it obey your orders and operate according to your will... How much magic power do you want to invest? How long will it last? What form will it become? Which characteristics will be strengthened? How to make it end?"

Felix asked a series of questions, waited quietly for a few seconds, spread his hands and said: "Unfortunately, there are no fixed answers to these. It all depends on your own judgment."

"So once you learn powerful offensive magic, you can imagine what the consequences will be if it gets out of control."

Harry followed the professor's train of thought and imagined that if it was an ancient fire magic, it would be okay if it didn't take shape. Once it was cast successfully by chance, it would be out of control and the magic power would be drained. It is estimated that he can only watch the magic devour himself...

"But fortunately," Felix raised his voice, awakening the young wizards who were trapped in terrible hallucinations, "The illumination technique you are going to learn is not dangerous. At least you don't have to worry about being burned to ashes by flames, corroded into pus by poisonous fog, or turned into a mummy by lightning..."

The young wizards all widened their eyes. They really didn't get much comfort from the professor.

"Does anyone know what revelation this brings to us?"

One of the twins muttered, "Don't let it take shape."

"That's right," Felix looked at him approvingly, and Fred opened his mouth wide. He said it casually.

"Don't let your ancient magic take shape easily. Repeat the second step until you feel very proficient, and then you can continue to try the next step."

"Each of you will be tested before leaving school. I will also write a letter to your parents to explain the situation. Private practice is strictly prohibited. Even if it drains the magic power, it is a stupid act. Do you understand?"

The young wizards were silent. The professor had never been so strict. They nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"Very good. You have about a week to master the art of illumination." Felix pointed at the stone basin. "With it."

Felix stood up and looked around. "Who wants to be the first to go in? Although it is a replica, I have retained some of the features of the meditation basin. The way to enter is a bit like diving. I personally think it is very interesting."
