Chapter 590 Each of Their Difficulties and Gains

"I don't remember sending out invitations. The activities of the Magic Club have been suspended because--" Felix looked at them. Luna nodded and said, "To participate in the trial." "Yes, that's the reason." He said.

"I saw the photos in the newspaper-Professor Dumbledore, Ms. Bones and you." Luna said excitedly: "Dad said in The Quibbler that you are the three most powerful people in the wizarding world."

"I've seen that article, too. It's very interesting." Felix said with a straight face: "Especially the part that envisions us joining forces to fight against the wizarding world..."

He turned his head and looked at the others-they looked at each other, their eyes dodging, and they were hesitant to speak.

"Okay, come and sit down." He used magic to conjure up a few soft chairs. At this time, Fred and George on the desk also stopped. They ran out of the range of the spell and stood at the edge of the desk, staring eagerly, waving their arms to attract attention. "Hey, someone come - we can't get down by ourselves!"

"Let me do it!" Ron shouted, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him. After he finished speaking, he looked at Felix, "Well - is it okay?"

Felix's head hadn't nodded completely, he rushed to the desk, bent down to look at his two brothers, and said in a gloating tone: "Look what I found, a flower fairy without wings? I've never seen a flower fairy so strong..."

"Come up, brats." He smiled brightly and stretched out his hand.

Fred and George subconsciously took a step back. At the moment, they were not in the upper hand. But compromise was impossible. Fred looked up and stared at Ron's face carefully. "From this angle, your face looks like a disaster scene, full of pits and dents—"

"Those are freckles! You two have them too!" Ron said unhappily. He grabbed his two brothers and shook them in his hands. "I haven't settled the score with you yet. That boxing telescope—"

He gave them a warning look, took them to the sofa in the office, threw them on the sofa cushion, and sat down. Fred and George screamed and dodged Ron's body as he slowly sat down. The two climbed up and down, and finally leaned on the armrest of the sofa, patting their chests with lingering fear.

"It was a close call. I was almost murdered by my own brother—" "

And he was crushed to death by his buttocks. To be honest, I will die with regret."

Harry glanced at the two of them. They seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"So -" Felix watched this interaction between relatives with great interest, while everyone else was trying to hold back their laughter. Then he sat on the single sofa and asked, "What kind of coincidence brought you together? Potter?"

"Uh, Professor, Colin saw - saw -" Harry was stuck, staring at Felix's pocket, then looking at the twins who were still playing on the table, not knowing how to describe it.

Should he say that Colin Creevey saw the professor jumping up the stairs while pushing Fred back out of his pocket? That would be too weird.

"I understand what you mean. Are you three here for this purpose?" Felix looked at Harry, Ron and Hermione, who all nodded in unison, and Felix turned to the others. They all started talking at once.

"I have some questions about my studies," Cedric said, pulling out a notebook from his pocket, "I tried to imitate the rune booklet and write something similar, but I always feel that there is something vague."

"Qiu came here with me." He pointed to Qiu Zhang, who was sitting quietly beside him.

Felix nodded approvingly, then looked away slightly.

"I don't have anything to do, I just came to see you on the way." Draco said slowly.

"I do have something to talk to you about, some questions about the course..." Felix said vaguely, "Please stay for a while."

Draco nodded hesitantly.

It was the turn of the Greengrass sisters. Daphne was hesitant to speak, but her sister pointed at Draco openly, "We followed him here. He has been alone and secretive recently. I don't know what he does."

Draco glared at her fiercely.

This caught Harry's attention. He stared at Draco's face, as if trying to see something. He thought of the recent news that 'Malfoy's head turned against the Death Eaters', and guessed that Malfoy, who was in the rumor, should be affected a lot.

Neville, Luna and Ginny were left. Felix turned to Neville.

"I, uh," Neville opened his mouth nervously, as if he was embarrassed to be surrounded by so many people, which made Felix think he was going to talk about something difficult to talk about, so he tentatively said: "We can talk alone-"

"No, no need," Neville said, "I want to ask-" He paused, "the knowledge of potions."

"Potions?" Felix asked in surprise.

Even the others looked at Neville strangely, which made Neville's face more ruddy. He swallowed and said: "The school distributed brochures of various professions during the holidays. I saw that the Auror's leaflet required applicants to have at least five NEWTs certificates, and the grades in each subject must not be lower than 'good'-"

Harry and Ron took a deep breath at the side. They had already identified the Aurors, but they just thought that they could wait until school started to talk to Professor McGonagall and listen to her advice.

"-There is also a series of strict personality and intelligence tests prepared by the Auror Office."

When Neville finished speaking, Harry and Ron's faces turned pale, and they seemed to be as pale as Draco.

"Oh, I see." Felix smiled. "You learned that you need to get a Potions certificate to apply for the Auror exam, and you are worried that you can't meet the requirements. You don't know how to deal with it..." Neville nodded.

"No wonder, many students who want to apply for the Auror exam are stuck at the Potions stage. Who told Professor Snape's advanced class to only accept students with excellent scores in the OWLs exam?" Felix said with some emotion.

"Do you need a Potions certificate?" Harry asked blankly.

"And get an excellent score?" Ron shouted in despair.

The two of them were already pale at this time - in their hearts, getting an 'excellent' score in the Potions exam was simply a fantasy.

Harry felt that his heart and his dream of becoming an Auror were shattered into ice.

"If you want to be an excellent Auror, you should at least understand how to detoxify, right?" Felix said, explaining the problem between the two. "Of course, the actual situation is much more complicated."

He thought for a moment, and said to Neville, "If it's just about improving grades, that is, getting high scores," he looked at Neville uncertainly, and Neville nodded repeatedly. He smiled and said, "There is still a way. Let's talk about it later."

"Professor?" Harry asked hurriedly, "Can we stay and listen together?"

"Yes, Professor, we think the same as Neville," Ron said hurriedly, "as long as we can get high marks."

"Professor Snape won't be happy," Felix shook his head, he seemed to have thought of something and looked very happy. "However, he has no reason to refuse some kind of tricky approach. Unless he wants to deny himself..." His last sentence was inaudible.

Felix's eyes moved between Luna and Ginny, and finally his eyes were on Ginny. This time he guessed wrong, Ginny pushed Luna with her hand, she was staring straight at Fred and George. "Oh," Luna woke up, "I have something to tell you." She said seriously.

"What is it about?" Felix asked.

"Have you read The Tales of Beedle the Bard?" Luna said, her eyes suddenly became very bright, not like the usual dazed look. "There is a 'Legend of the Three Brothers' in it, which mentions the god of death and his three things-"

Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged glances cautiously.

"I know what you're going to say." Felix interrupted her. Luna blinked, a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she looked at him expectantly, which gave Felix a headache.

Troubles seemed to have come together. He didn't expect Luna to mention this story. How did she know?

"The rumors about the Elder Wand are wrong. I think I have proved it." Felix said briefly. At the cost of more than a dozen lives and an open battle with Voldemort, all the secret covetousness disappeared.

Of course, it didn't disappear all at once. When Felix had nothing to do in those few months, he would take out the Marauder's Map and look through it, exchanging those suspicious people for bounties.

"I'm talking about another thing," Luna said softly, "The Resurrection Stone."

Felix frowned.

"Miss Lovegood--"

"I did a divination with Firenze," Luna said quickly while looking at him, "He said that from the results, the thing I desire seems to be very close-so close that it's just passing by."

Felix was silent for a moment. What? The Resurrection Stone? Did she mean that the Resurrection Stone was in the school?

It can't be in the bag of one of her roommates, right?

And he guessed that what Firenze meant by 'passing by' might be different from what Luna understood...

"Okay." He said, "You really brought me a lot of surprises." He stood up and looked around. "There are a lot of problems. Let's solve them one by one. It just so happens that I need your help with something. Luna, come here first."

He and Luna walked to the other side of the office and talked in a low voice.

The result of the discussion surprised him a little. It was the first time he heard about the Deathly Hallows. In this legend, the three creations of the god of death mentioned in the fairy tale were pinched together and regarded as a whole. And it has a special meaning - that is, mastering the three holy objects can become the master of the god of death.

Felix only knew that the Elder Wand was real and was currently held by Dumbledore.

"Have you ever thought that this is just a legend similar to a motto? Even if they really exist, they may just be three powerful magical items that were fabricated and forcibly linked together by later generations?"

But Luna gave a realistic basis.

"The Elder Wand." Luna drew a vertical line on his hand. "The Resurrection Stone." She added a circle under the vertical line. "Invisibility cloak." She finally drew a triangle outside the vertical line and the circle, wrapping the first two to form a complete and exquisite pattern.

Felix stared at his hand. If he was not mistaken, this seemed to be the symbol of another person?

Just like his Ouroboros, it was once a synonym for himself.

"Grindelwald?" he asked softly.

"You know him too?" Luna asked curiously, "Dad said that this symbol is indeed misunderstood by many people, but the truth is that this symbol does not belong to him. Grindelwald just borrowed it. Its real creator is the three Peverell brothers."

"Peverell... three brothers? Three brothers?"

"Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus, they are the original owners of the Hallows." Luna said very confidently, but Felix guessed that she was just repeating her father's words, "This symbol is still left on Ignotus' tombstone, in Godric's Hollow. Dad took me to see it. This is the coat of arms of the Peverell family."

Felix lowered his head, as if talking to himself.

"So, those who know this symbol should also know the meaning behind it?"

On the other side, the people sitting on the sofa couldn't help but look at the professor and Luna again and again. They talked for a long time, but they couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away. It might be because of the spell. "The professor's attitude is really kind." Qiu Zhang said. Obviously, she regarded this as a responsible professor instructing a little girl with a head full of fantasies.

"But who is Firenze?" she asked.

"A centaur." Harry said.

"So it's not her fantasy?" Qiu Zhang said with interest. She looked at Luna in the distance and thought: "I am two grades apart from her, but I have heard her nickname - crazy girl, you know?"

"She's not crazy," Ginny said coldly, "Just a little bit -"

"Weird." Ron nodded in agreement. Ginny glared at him.

"Oh," Qiu Zhang said apologetically, "Are you friends?"

At this time, Luna had come back hopping, her fluffy hair up and down. "How was the chat?" Ginny asked. She hoped her friend could give up her unrealistic fantasy, such as resurrection of the dead... This was too far-fetched.

"The professor promised to keep an eye out for me and lend it to me if he finds it." She said happily.

"Diggory--" Felix called out from the other end. Cedric stood up and walked over with his notebook. Felix roughly flipped through it, quickly went through it in his mind, and said to him: "It's already quite good. There are many details that I didn't consider. It can be seen that you put a lot of effort into it."

Cedric smiled shyly.

"You should have submitted your article to the magazine "New Interpretation of Magic Runes", right?"

Cedric nodded.

"It's already been sent out."

"I'll keep this notebook for now. I need to take a closer look, and then we can discuss it..."

Then Felix waved to Draco, and he came over reluctantly.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Felix asked. He looked in the direction of the sofa, and the Greengrass sisters were looking over. "Your classmates have noticed that you haven't been normal lately. I told you before that if you have any concerns, you can come to me."

"They are nosy," Draco said in annoyance, "especially the little one, who blamed me for destroying her ghost food."

Felix asked a few questions about what happened, and it was roughly about Astoria getting a piece of ghost food from somewhere. This thing is actually quite rare and difficult to preserve. It is only in Classroom 7, so he gave some to Valen -

he turned his head and stared at Valen, well, he seemed to know where Astoria got the ghost food from.

The subsequent plot was that Astoria took it out to show off, but was accidentally broken by Draco. "I lost the game at that time, and I didn't notice that she suddenly jumped out." Draco defended himself.

"Then what happened recently?"

Draco's face was flushed. Felix was very experienced in this, "I promise not to tell anyone." So Draco took out an exquisite, gorgeous and complicated emblem from his pocket.

When Felix saw the letter 'M' on it, he roughly guessed it.

"The Malfoy family crest?"

Draco nodded. "It was in the letter my mother sent." Felix knew it in his heart. He helped to forward the letter.

"So they threw the responsibility to you?" Felix asked with a smile, "Did you gain anything?"

"A little bit," Draco said hesitantly, looking at him carefully, "Professor, do you plan to forcibly break the Statute of Secrecy after the war?"

Felix scratched his head, "You all surprised me so much today - who told you?" Isn't this a rumor? He even used this to mock Grindelwald.

"Isn't it?" Draco seemed very disappointed. Seeing the professor raised his eyebrows, he hurriedly said, "I guessed it myself. Professor, I think you must have heard of my grandfather Abraxas Malfoy?" He asked expectantly.

"I have heard of it."

"He died when I was a child. I recently remembered his words. He said," Draco swallowed, "Everyone has his own position. The difference is that the position of the strong is not called a position, but a mission."

"Oh?" Felix said with an unclear attitude.

"I thought, if you have this plan, I can help you." Draco hesitated and said, "You told me before that my wand is suitable for medical magic, plus the employment consultation after school starts... I've been looking up information in this area recently."

Felix had only one idea at the moment, that Lucius could retire as soon as possible.

It turned out that Draco didn't want to be a healer, but he had the idea of ​​'Muggle-Wizard Joint Hospital'. Although his idea was not perfect, it was enough to surprise Felix.

"Your idea... is a bit ahead of time, I can't give you a clear answer. After all, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, but you can indeed work towards this. According to your idea, at least you have to become an excellent healer first. You have a lot to learn."

Draco returned to the sofa and sat down. Neville, Harry and Ron came over. Hermione thought about it and followed him.

The three boys looked at him eagerly, eager for the 'way to get high scores' he mentioned. As for Hermione, she strongly disliked the practice of being clever, but in order to understand the situation, she still came over.

'I'm gathering information.' Hermione told herself.

Felix didn't waste any words. He let them wait here for a while and took out a set of potion textbooks from his bedroom.

He stroked the cover affectionately: "They helped me a lot."

"These are your potion textbooks when you were in school?" Harry guessed.

"Ah, how should I say? You don't think I could afford new textbooks when I was in school?" Felix said: "The school's funding was very limited at that time, and I had to be frugal. I could only afford second-hand books and old robes, but there is a saying, 'Thinking one step further can make things better than they are now.'" "

Not long after the start of the school, I found that the school had a storage cabinet for old textbooks. I spent some time selecting the best ones - I can't believe that some people's textbooks are almost brand new, with only a name on them."

Harry lowered his head and stared at the set of textbooks in the professor's hand. They were tattered, with corners flying, as if they had suffered terrible abuse.

"...excluding the potion textbook. This set of books was carefully selected by me, and you will find that its wonderfulness is not in appearance."
