After the fifth grade ancient magic class in the afternoon, Felix left the twins alone.

"Professor, are there really seven types of mirrors?" Fred asked curiously.

In the previous class, Felix's arrangement was the same as that of the seventh grade. He also explained the study plan for the whole school year and briefly reviewed the learning content of the third and fourth grades. At the end of the course, he mentioned that in addition to the magic puppet, this school year also introduced a new magic creation mirror.

Felix nodded and said, "It does exist. You will see it in the next class."

The reason for his delay was that there was still one mirror missing, and it was in the process of adjustment.

"The Exploration of Ancient Alchemy" mentioned the production methods of seven mirrors, but they all took the route of alchemy. What Felix did during this time was to replace some magic circuits so that their functions remained unchanged and even strengthened.

He was happy to try it. If possible, he was prepared to spend most of this year on this to transform each alchemical creation into a magic creation.

With the alchemy master Nick Flamel, he was confident in this.

...

George asked, "Why are there seven kinds of peepholes?"

Fred said without hesitation, "Maybe the shape of the peephole is disguised? For example, it is usually a door handle, and it will scream loudly once it is touched."

George followed his train of thought and said, "It's a bit like our fake wand, or it can be the other way around. It is usually in the shape of a peephole, but if you try to do something with it, it will spray fireworks from the tail and run around the room..."

Fred laughed and said, "Great idea, George, what a charming little brain."

George bowed, "You too, Mr. Weasley."

"Ahem!" Felix coughed twice to stop their playfulness, "Seeing you so happy, I don't have the heart to tell you the next news."

The twins turned their heads and looked at him at the same time.

"Oh, don't, Felix, we are in the same group." Fred said without hesitation.

Felix was amused. He had just said this not long ago, "Disrespecting the professor?"

Fred raised his hands and made a gesture of begging for mercy.

But neither of them cared. Felix discovered very early that the personalities of these two people were very suitable for being friends, provided that you have a certain degree of dignity in front of them, otherwise their habitual pranks would be enough to give people a headache.

Being an assistant is not appropriate either. Felix originally wanted to find someone to help him share the work, but he found it hard to imagine that the twins would seriously correct homework. He even suspected that they might cast evil spells on some bad test papers.

For example, homework with a grade of zero was cast with a pimple curse, so that the little wizard who didn't study well would feel the malice from the magic assistant...

It's quite interesting to think about it carefully, but this is really just a thought.

Felix's expression became serious: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. This year is your OWLs year. How many exams are you confident that you can pass?"

"Ancient magic runes are no problem if they change the exam content to magic puppets." Fred said with a heavy breath.

Felix said sternly, "I'm not kidding. I don't object to you doing research in your spare time and giving guidance, but your grades can't fall too far."

The twins sighed, and Fred rarely told the truth: "I guess I can only pass four or five OWLs exams, or even less. How about you, George?"

"We are about the same level, but I think you may be too optimistic. I think three certificates is a more reasonable number." George said sternly.

Fred smiled immediately.

Felix shook his head. He couldn't let them change the subject at will. He said directly: "In order to prevent you from being overly addicted, I specially asked your brother, Percy Weasley, to take time to watch you."

"What!"

"No, professor!"

Felix's mouth curled up, "Is there anything wrong? I told him that he would not interfere with your research, at least not in the short term. As far as I know, his grades are very good and he can give you some advice."

Fred shrank his neck, his eyes slanted to one side, and put on a proud attitude. He imitated Percy's tone and said: "Fred! Put away your mischievous candy. If I see you give it to others again, I will put you in detention. I mean what I say!"

Felix: "...Frankly speaking, your candy is not poisonous, right?"

"Of course not, professor, we have tested it, and I was the first test subject." Fred said.

"I'm the second one." George said.

The twins coaxed Felix for ten minutes, and they left quickly when they saw that they were about to be late. Before leaving, he still shouted loudly

, "Professor, we will not give up!"

"That's right, unless you take back this decision!"

Felix looked at their backs with a headache. At a certain moment, an idea popped up in his mind: 'Did Professor Snape look at me the same way back then?'

'But I'm not that detached.' He returned to the office and spent some time to complete the improvement of the last seventh mirror.

Looking at the mirrors of different sizes on the workbench, his mood inexplicably improved.

"I now have more than a thousand ancient magic runes. When will this number become ten thousand or twenty thousand?"

"By then, what will my understanding of magic be?"

Felix imagined that during the battle, the magic runes were lingering around him. Under his thoughts, they automatically gathered into powerful ancient magic. Other people's spells were at most beams of light, but he had completely abandoned his wand and raised his hand to launch continuous attacks.

There was no escape, no avoidance, and he could only resist.

"You're overthinking. There are not many people right now who can make me use my full strength. I'd better think about the content of my next communication with Nick Flamel. His understanding of alchemy is beyond my imagination."

"With his perspective, I can examine alchemical creations and magic creations from a higher level."

"This will help me better understand the characteristics of magic."

In the evening, when Felix walked out of the office and went to the auditorium for dinner, he unexpectedly heard two pieces of gossip.

One thing was that an accident happened in Hagrid's first class, and a student was injured. Felix was relieved after asking carefully. The situation was not serious. The student's wound had some alien magic. With Madam Pomfrey's skills, he would be alive and kicking after three days of recuperation at most.

He didn't take it seriously. The previous professor of this course caused more serious trouble than this. Hagrid was at most punished with a stay of office.

The second thing made him scratch his head. In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the new professor taught the third-year students to resist Boggart, which is a magical creature that can transform according to the fear in their hearts.

Boggart is not strong in nature, but it is amazing for wizards with fatal weaknesses or fragile hearts. Especially when facing it without any preparation.

In class, the object of a student's fear turned out to be Snape. With the encouragement of Professor Lupin, the student overcame his fear and recited the Boggart expulsion spell "Funny Funny". As a result, things really became funny. Professor Snape, who symbolized his inner fear, changed into women's clothes.

Felix was sitting at the long table of Hufflepuff, two seats away from him, a little witch with two golden braids was describing the scene vividly.

"... Professor Snape came over aggressively. Although his target was Longbottom, I felt cold in my heart, thinking that this time it was bad, he would definitely fail. Guess what happened?"

Hannah Abbott said with a flushed face: "Longbottom shouted out a spell, like a whip hitting Professor Snape's body, his clothes instantly turned into a grandmother's dress with embroidered flowers, a tricorn hat on his head, and a huge red handbag in his hand..."

"To be honest, this is the first time I found that boy so cool!"

Felix listened in surprise. According to his understanding, Snape must be mad.
