The headmaster's office was once again silent.

After a long while, Dumbledore seemed to come to his senses. He had already made a decision. Dumbledore

chose his words carefully, "I'm sorry, Felix, Professor Bubbage has not thought about retiring yet..."

Felix showed a disappointed expression.

"But," Dumbledore said quickly, "I can see that you are very good at ancient magic runes."

"Yes, Headmaster." Felix thought of something, suppressed the glimmer of hope in his heart, and stared at Dumbledore.

The old man opposite did not deliberately keep the suspense, and directly stated his thoughts, "I hope you can come to teach ancient magic runes, I wonder if you are willing?"

"Of course I am willing!" Felix blurted out, and then slowed down his speech: "Yes, I am willing. But, Professor Babel..."

"Ah, Bathsilda," Dumbledore seemed to sigh and mutter, and then explained, "She has served Hogwarts for more than fifty years. In recent years, she has always wanted to take a vacation for a while to see the changes in the world." "

Take a vacation for a while? Do you mean to let me take over the ancient magic runes temporarily? For a school year? Or a semester?" Felix frowned slightly. This was not what he wanted.

Hogwarts has a rich collection of books, and becoming a professor at the school will have many conveniences. He doesn't want a year or two, at least five or ten years, right?

Dumbledore was amused, his silver beard trembling. He pointed out seriously, "Felix, Professor Babel is not a pure wizard. She has magical blood, which makes her view time differently from us."

Other blood? Felix recalled Professor Babel's appearance. It seemed that she had never changed from enrollment to graduation...

Could she be a mixed-blood? A mixed-blood with other humanoid races?

This is possible. There is no shortage of such people in the magic world. The most common mixed-bloods are humans and giants, veela, dwarves, and fairies. As far as he knows, there is more than one in the school.

Before he could think of a conclusion, he heard Dumbledore continue: "In Professor Babel's opinion, taking a break for ten or twenty years is a very normal thing. In fact, when she complained to me that she didn't have a break, she recommended several names to replace her, including you, Felix."

Felix suddenly realized that he had a good relationship with this professor. Although he couldn't choose ancient magic in the sixth and seventh grades, he always asked her for advice during his self-study afterwards, and he didn't stop writing letters even after graduation.

It can be said that the professor who kept in touch with him after graduation, in addition to Dumbledore, was Professor Babel.

Professor Dumbledore said: "Your arrival will make Professor Babel very happy. She has accumulated a lot of wishes to fulfill over the years, and she is almost full of parchment."

Seeing such a good thing, Felix nodded and agreed.

Walking out of the principal's office, Felix breathed a sigh of relief. Although the interview process was a bit tortuous, at least, the result was good. He finally returned to this place.

The center of the British magic world-Hogwarts. This time, as a professor.

After calming down, he returned to Professor McGonagall's office and happened to see a phoenix patronus disappearing. It suddenly dawned on him that Dumbledore had already informed Professor McGonagall of the result through the patronus.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall raised her glasses and said, "I have received Dumbledore's message, Felix, no, I should call you Professor Hep now."

"You can still call me Felix, I will always be your student."

Professor McGonagall snorted slightly, "Professor Snape may not be happy."

Felix scratched his head, because he had made Snape very angry back then. However, McGonagall quickly skipped the topic. She waved her wand and more than a dozen pieces of parchment flew out from the large cabinet in the office. These parchments were neatly piled up, showing the owner's serious and serious character.

"These are your class schedule, student list, obligations and powers, purchase items, and things I personally think you need to use. Of course, the most urgent question is whether your textbooks need to be changed?"

"Textbooks?" Felix was a little confused.

"Yes, teaching materials." McGonagall repeated, "Many professors have their own teaching philosophy. In principle, Hogwarts encourages this, so they can decide on their own teaching methods, the proportion of theory and practice, and of course the selection of teaching materials."

McGonagall glanced at him, "I know you also wrote a book on ancient magic runes."

Felix understood, and after thinking for a moment, he decided not to make any changes. "Professor Babel's teaching materials are very good. I benefited a lot from them when I was in school."

"Okay." Professor McGonagall seemed to be noncommittal about his move, but Felix heard her mutter again. The voice was too soft for him to hear clearly, but it seemed to involve another professor.

"If... the professor is also like this..."

Felix didn't know how to ask. As a new professor, he didn't want to cause trouble before he officially joined the job.

As a Slytherin, he did things with a strong purpose.

After a while, Professor McGonagall raised her head, looked at Felix who was motionless, and said, "Professor Hepp, you can go now. We will mail you a formal letter of appointment and the time of employment, and any additional information will be attached."

Felix smiled, "Professor McGonagall, I still want to make some more preparations. You know, although I have made some achievements in the field of magic, I am still very young after all, and I have no relevant teaching experience. In this regard, you are experienced and I really need your guidance."

Not sure if it was an illusion, Felix noticed that Professor McGonagall seemed to smile. Of course, it could also be that the corners of his mouth twitched. It is said that people who have a stern face all year round are prone to facial paralysis.

Felix had some unfocused thoughts in his mind.

"Felix, you are always so polite." McGonagall seemed to sigh, but stopped her work to show respect. "What do you want to know?"

"I want to see the student information first, such as academic performance, the number of students in different grades in each college, and some excellent or famous young wizards. It would be even better if there were evaluations of each person."

Professor McGonagall glanced at him and waved her wand silently. The door of the large cabinet crackled open, and parchment scrolls flew out of it. Felix quickly took out his wand and waved it gently. A feather pen on the table turned into a long table.

Professor McGonagall understood and stacked the parchment scrolls on the long table. "Great Transfiguration."

"It's inseparable from your teaching." Felix said modestly.

"I remember that your Transfiguration was not rated highly in your first three years."

Felix was a little embarrassed. At that time, he was busy defeating the little snakes in the seventh grade. He didn't have enough time to practice spells every day, so how could he spend time on Transfiguration? It was just about right.

It was only later that he picked up Transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall didn't dwell on his grades, because she knew Felix's situation at the time very well. To be honest, she had always been quite dissatisfied with the use of the Sorting Hat for sorting. For a long time, she believed that Felix should be sorted into Gryffindor.

Just for that reckless, ahem, brave spirit, who would believe that he was not from Gryffindor!

Even among the little lions, he is the most reckless one!

"These are the information you want, but there are no comments. Regarding some outstanding little wizards, I can only stand on my position and say some names of Gryffindor House."

"That's also very useful." Felix is ​​not picky.

"Sixth graders Oliver Wood and Percy Weasley, fourth graders Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson, second graders Hermione Granger," McGonagall pursed her lips, "and of course the Weasley twins, Fred and George. Oh my god, if they put half of their mischievous energy into studying..."

"Are those the only ones? I remember the famous Harry Potter is also enrolled, isn't he in Gryffindor?" Felix was a little curious. In her past and present lives, this name was like thunderbolt to her.

"Harry..." It was obvious that this name made her even more entangled.
