"It's temporary." Snape stared into his eyes, "Felix, it's January now, and there are still five months until the end of this school year. You know what this means."

Felix was speechless, which meant that the little wizard had no Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for nearly half a year.

But then again, does it matter whether it's important or not?

Even if the little wizard is allowed to learn by himself, it is probably better than when Lockhart was there. At least they save time on doing boring homework.

"Professor, I've always been curious, why are you obsessed with this course? Aren't you afraid of the Dark Lord's curse?" Felix was very puzzled by this.

However, Snape did not answer his meaning.

Felix thought about it and said, "I can ask Dumbledore for you."

He was not good at curses, and this course had a terrifying record, so he never thought of taking over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

However, he was indeed very curious about the 'Dark Lord's Curse', and perhaps he could learn about it from Dumbledore.

"By the way, Severus," Felix winked at Snape, "Don't forget the dueling class tonight."

Snape looked at him with disdain, "How do you plan to arrange it?"

"Each person will teach a part, mainly for demonstration. After all, the professors are all here together, and I will invite them individually for the follow-up classes." Felix said helplessly.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, plus himself and Snape, there are four people.

Snape nodded and turned away.

In the seventh grade class that day, Felix showed the young wizards the new teaching aids of ancient magic runes.

They watched Professor Hep talk at the podium, "Do you see the parchment in front of you? It will play a huge role in your NEWTs exams."

A young wizard raised his hand, "Professor Hep, is this the teaching aid that Flint is said to have participated in making?"

The young wizards present cast their eyes on the tall and strong Marcus Flint.

There were less than 20 people in the seventh grade ancient magic rune class, and everyone knew each other well, and at this moment they all looked suspicious.

Marcus was a little tearful. He just boasted a little, why was he pointed out to his face?

Felix glanced at him and said, "Miss Vera, Flint did participate in the testing of the new teaching aids. Not only him, but a total of ten young wizards, each of whom put forward their own valuable suggestions. What you see is the result of their joint efforts."

"Next, let's actually practice it."

According to the previous explanation, the young wizards placed their wands on the answer parchment and whispered, "Secret of the Magic Rune."

The parchment gave off a dim light, and a line of text emerged -

'Welcome to the answering space, please complete the following operations. '

Like ripples on the water, the emblems of the four colleges appeared on the parchment - snake, badger, lion and eagle.

Their bodies are made up of simple ink lines, and they look vivid. The little snake representing Slytherin swam and swayed in place, the badger representing Hufflepuff stood up and looked around, the lion representing Gryffindor roared silently, and the eagle representing Ravenclaw flapped its wings and was about to fly.

The wizards and witches exclaimed in amazement.

Vera happily pointed at the eagle's position, and then the other three animals disappeared. The eagle representing Ravenclaw occupied the middle position on the parchment. It flapped its wings and seemed to be climbing upwards. Clouds of ink lines appeared around it. Finally

, the eagle stopped, its sharp eyes staring at the front, and a line of beautiful handwritten words slowly emerged, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

Almost instantly, Vera fell in love with this thing, and her brown eyes seemed to glow under her thick glasses.

"Is this made by Professor Hepp? Is this an application of ancient magic runes?"

"This is the ancient magic runes!"

Even she herself did not realize that her understanding of ancient magic runes had unconsciously leaned towards Felix's side.

A few seconds later, the image of the eagle shrank again, and it landed on the pattern in the upper left corner of the parchment. It looked majestic and combed its feathers.

And new content appeared in the center of the parchment, "Please use the magic wand to input magic and write your name. Vera

used her wand to write her name neatly - Clemmy Vera.

After completing this step, the formal interface finally appeared on the answer parchment.

In the upper left corner was the eagle representing Ravenclaw, and below was Clemmy Vera's name, while the central position was divided into three modules, namely - OWLs module, NEWTs module, and wrong question collection.

Felix nodded with satisfaction. In the finalized version, he made a lot of adjustments.

For example, the startup password changed from the original "I like ancient magic runes" to the more formal "Secret of Magic Runes";

for another example, he added the information binding part, which is a combination of name, college and magic recognition functions.

The "ranking" function that was originally set was temporarily suppressed by him. First, the number of answer parchments is too small, and second, he also wants to bring other professors in.

To achieve these, it takes time to ferment.

About three or four minutes later, the young wizards enthusiastically followed the instructions on the parchment and completed this step of the operation.

Moreover, many people have begun to compare.

"Look at my lion, so majestic!"

"An eagle is more beautiful."

...

"Okay, little wizards." Felix clapped his hands to attract their attention.

Felix explained: "Currently, the answer parchment is only used in the fifth and seventh grades. You need to choose the NEWTs module. It stores the test questions of previous years for you to complete the test and study."

"Of course, I broke up these contents so that each test lasts about twenty minutes. You can also practice when you have nothing to do."

"As for the wrong question collection module, you can find all the questions you got wrong here."

The little wizard who came into contact with this new thing for the first time couldn't help but want to try it. Clemmy Vera suppressed her excitement and said: "Professor Hepp, can we try it now?"

Felix said sympathetically, "Of course, the next twenty minutes are reserved for you."

"Oh, by the way," he emphasized, "If you don't like the feedback effect, you can use your wand to touch it and say 'silence'."

Vera was a little confused, but she touched the wand on the 'NEWTs module', and a series of magic test questions quickly appeared on the parchment.

When she finished the first question, a line of golden words appeared on the parchment -

'wise choice'.

She understood Professor Hepp's words a little bit, and then she saw all kinds of compliments.

'Your answer is really touching.'

'You are the next magic star! '

'Genius choice! '

These words made Vera feel very subtle, a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but want to see new compliments. Time passed by little by little without her noticing.

But the experience of others was not as wonderful as hers. Most people were a mixture of compliments and venomous remarks, while Marcus faced mostly fancy ridicule.

He couldn't help but repeat the names of two people: "Fred Weasley, George Weasley."

They did it!

In less than ten minutes, Clemmy Vera was the first to finish the test.

A big 'O' appeared on the parchment, and the eagle in the upper left corner kept circling, with large clusters of fireworks in the background.

She excitedly waved her fist.

"Very good, Miss Vera, ten points for Ravenclaw!"

At the end of the class, Felix assigned the latest homework: "Complete three tests and write an essay based on the wrong answers, analyzing the weak points of your knowledge."

...

In the evening, the auditorium changed again, the gilded arena rose from the ground, and the little wizards talked in twos and threes.

The third duel course was about to begin.
