Felix walked out of the Hog's Head and let out a long breath.

Don't look down on anyone!

Look, a dark wizard has the ambition to peek into the secrets of the Dark Lord. Isn't the ideal of "exploring the true meaning of magic" that he has set a little small?

Felix thought about it seriously and finally thought that his ideal was more noble.

As for the contract with Crane, what a contract!

Doing things under Dumbledore's nose, do you really think he is stubborn?

Besides, he already knew the answer to the question.

What is the secret of the Dark Lord's leap over death? Horcrux, he still has this concept. Therefore, as long as he doesn't study Horcruxes, this contract will naturally be resolved after a year.

Because the prophecy is, "The Dark Lord's relics will only stay in Hogwarts for one year," which means that it is just a passerby, so the contract between the two only needs to exist for one year-this is Crane's idea.

Felix guessed that the relics were probably destroyed by the protagonists.

The protagonists have been restless every year at school, and perhaps they will have to wait until they graduate before they can be completely at peace.

But this also reminded him that it seemed that the crisis of the "plot" this year came from the relics of the Dark Lord, that is, the Horcruxes.

Which Horcrux would it be?

This was the question Felix had been thinking about after returning to the office.

He vaguely remembered that there were seven Horcruxes in total, most of which were relics of the four giants of Hogwarts, which just corresponded to Harry's seven years of school life. Could it be that one was destroyed every year?

He knew about Ravenclaw's diadem, Slytherin's locket, and Hufflepuff's gold cup. So logically, Gryffindor's sword was also a Horcrux?

Which one was destroyed last year? The first part seemed to be called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", so the Sorcerer's Stone was a Horcrux?

Felix speculated irresponsibly.

The information he had was actually useless. First, you couldn't prove what you said, because he didn't know where the Dark Lord put the Horcruxes; second, it was too taboo. Felix's background was not good to begin with, and he suddenly told Dumbledore about the Horcruxes... Good guy, you are still studying Horcruxes, right?

So, let it go, he could only play a supporting role at most.

This is also a benefit for his assistant (tool person) Miss Hermione Granger.

That's right, the position of assistant has been reserved for her, and the reason... is hard to explain.

Two of the only three candidates have died: the Weasley twins found him yesterday and took the initiative to withdraw. Because they are busy with Quidditch training this week, and they are expected to spend every weekend on it in the next year.

Felix heard what they meant, suggesting that he should put the guy named Wood in detention, and for a whole school year, so that they have time to do other things.

Can he agree to this? The professor openly abused his power for personal gain, is he still going to get away with it?

The main reason is that the conditions were not negotiated, and the time they asked was too long!

Even Snape would not put a student in detention for a whole school year for no reason.

This made Felix a little speechless. He originally wanted to repay Professor McGonagall for a favor, but it turned out like this. Are

there any good seedlings in other colleges...

But fortunately, Miss Granger is very reliable. You can meet her in the library every day, and you can see that she is very hardworking, with three plus signs under her eyes.

The next day, the library.

It was another ordinary day. Felix picked up a book called "Fighting Secrets" from the forbidden book section and read it with relish.

This book mainly records the secrets of various duels of wizards in history. The reason why it was placed in the forbidden book section is that there are many restricted pictures on it. In the era when the laws in the magic world were not standardized, black magic was popular because it was quick to learn, powerful and strange, so the duels at that time were bloody and cruel, and even very strange.

For example, the picture he saw now, an unlucky wizard's head was irreversibly "pumpkinized", not expanded to the size of a pumpkin, but completely turned into a "vegetable".

What's more amazing is that this loser is still alive and died three years later.

There are also some fighting teachings in the book, which are very large. Felix even saw how to integrate curses into ordinary spells.

Get new skills!

Near noon, Felix walked out of the library and prepared to enjoy his lunch.

Hermione on the other side hesitated slightly and followed decisively.

"Professor! Professor Hep."

Felix stopped, "What's the matter, Miss Granger?" He did not tell Hermione that she was the only candidate for the assistant. It was not a bad thing to learn more knowledge.

"It's like this. I read in a book that some gifted wizards can hear things that others can't hear. Is this true?" Hermione asked after taking a breath.

Felix was shocked. Mr. Ke? But he quickly discarded this unreliable idea.

"Can you tell me more specifically? The conditions you gave are too broad."

Hermione thought about it carefully and seemed to be organizing her words. "It's a short story. A little wizard and...his father were copying materials in a castle, and then the little wizard suddenly heard strange words, but his, father! He knew nothing about it."

Strange, why did Hermione always pause on the word "father"?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Felix thought about it seriously and replied, "Many little stories are actually made up, so what you heard may not be true, but we can discuss it for the time being."

Hermione nodded happily.

"The first possibility is that the young wizard is lying. He wants to win his father's attention. This kind of thing is very common in the Muggle world." Felix first said the answer he thought was most likely.

Seeing that Hermione wanted to answer, he shook his head, "The second possibility is that they are copying some dangerous magic materials. You know, some ancient magic manuscripts contain magic, or they have been specially processed by their previous owners. Unqualified people who touch them rashly can easily cause dangerous consequences."

Seeing Hermione thoughtful, he added, "There are many such books in the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts."

However, they are all locked with magic chains, and the young wizard is strictly prohibited from peeking - unless you get the professor's autograph.

"The third possibility," Felix raised his voice slightly, "is that the young wizard has awakened some talent, such as prophecy, perception, or suddenly mastered a certain language."

"Can you tell me more about it, professor?" "

Well, as you know, some young wizards have special talents, such as animal affinity, or extraordinary talent in wandless spellcasting, and the rarer one is the talent of prophecy. Professor Trelawney's elders seem to have this talent... Oh, Trelawney is the professor of Divination, you may choose her class next year."

"As for language talent, it is often related to their ancestors. If their ancestors mastered the mermaid language, this talent may be passed on to the next generation, or suddenly appear in the bloodline hundreds of years later."

Felix gave an example casually, "For example, the young wizard in your story, it is very likely that his ancestors could speak rat language, and he happened to hear the chatter of a talkative, Mr. Mouse that day."

Until Professor Hep left, Hermione was still thinking on the spot. Could it be that Harry's ancestors had a strange wizard who could speak rat language?

She was a little confused.
