Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)

The bickering with Draco Malfoy put Harry’s panic aside for a moment, but Professor Hap seemed determined to have his way with them, as he said languidly from the sidelines, “There’s a little time boys, and you need to hurry up.”

The crowd scattered even further, and everyone paired up with each other like headless flies.

“Which magic rune have you mastered?”

“Light, Fire and Cut – and you -”

“I only know Light and Cattle.”

Time is running out, and they could only say the most important magic runes, that is, the core one they had. The good thing is, everyone has the same idea. Until Harry finished a set of exchanges, he didn’t understand what the opposite guy’s name is, what house he’s from.

He found that it didn’t seem that hard, so for the next three times, he deliberately looked for people who were left alone and whom he didn’t recognize for the exchange, but he always remembered to politely ask for names, and as for the house, everyone tacitly omitted that.

When he expressed his thoughts with Ron in the middle, Ron glared at him: “You don’t think people don’t know who you are, do you, Harry?”

Harry slapped his own head, he hadn’t thought about it at all, he saw Hermione appear joyfully and pulled her in, “How many did you exchange?”

“Fifteen,” Hermione said happily, “The secret is to find girls in the senior years who are friendly and have less overlap with your knowledge-wait!”

Hermione’s eyes lit up, and she walked up to Daphne Greengrass on her toes, whispering something with a glowing face, Harry looked aside for a moment and finally noticed that the two seemed to be moving together to a corner.

“They’re friends?” Harry asked, he knew the girl is a Slytherin.

“Rivalry,” Ron said, “golem vs. golem duel, at least that’s what Hermione said.”

Felix watched quietly, mentally making quick notes of the students who could be put into groups; while he wanted to break down the barriers between the four houses and facilitate their interaction, he also had no interest in having completely inappropriate people come together.

The good thing is that, except for a few people, the majority of people did not have as strong rejection in their minds as they had expected, they just needed a suitable excuse. In this way, it seemed that some of his next arrangements will not be abrupt.

When the last student exchange got completed, the majority of the students had already finished the process of trying to use the Ring of the ouroboros snake to collect the magic runes, and Felix clapped his hands and told them to stop.

Wordlessly, their seats changed, originally distinct now staggered.

“Let’s talk about how to perceive the structure of an object?

You should have been exposed to it in other classes, especially the Transfiguration class. Perceiving magic rune is also a similar line of thought, there are some tips here, let your magic touch it gently, not a rough injection of magic, that will blow them up-

Think of raindrops falling in a puddle and spreading a ripple.”

Felix’s fingertips tapped on the air, which seemed to take shape with a slight dent, followed by light blue magic spreading out.

“Mobilize your magic as subtly as you can without interrupting it, and I will remind you that this is not a spell-”

“Bang!”

A student blew up the magic rune as if an orange-red firework had burst.

“Eddie Camilche, hear me out,” Felix pulled them into the thinking room, “practice here for a while or the magic rune you just exchanged will disappear faster than the invisible beast.”

After the assembly, Felix asked Neville, “Can you keep up with the progress?”

Neville scratched his head, “It’s a little hard, but it’s easier than I thought, and I got four magic runes now.”

Out of the thinking room, Felix only allowed them to get their hands on analysing the magic runes, and the subsequent session was like a fireworks show, though most of them barely got the hang of it after seven or eight failed attempts to put the skills they had honed from the thinking room to use in reality.

And Neville as a first-timer, with no previous relevant study; hadn’t even mastered a single practical magic rune.

“You’re doing well, I noticed, you signed up for the dueling tournament?”

Neville’s face flushed as he whispered, “I wanted to try-”

“Well, go ahead and prepare, I remember Potter and the gang have a dueling self-study group, it might help you,” Felix suggested.

Neville looked up and told him, “I’m already a regular member there, I’m pretty good at using a stunning spell.”

“Regular member?” Felix asked in confusion.

“Uh … Harry… they don’t forbid anyone else to get mixed in, a lot of students have come to play once or twice, and they volunteer to invite some upperclassmen.”

“Those who come regularly will get a copper Knut distributed, and as long as the Knut is glowing, it means there is an event.” Neville pulled out a coin from his pocket, and Felix took a look at it, dumbfounded, isn’t it the fever Knut he made earlier.

Except for the design on it is changed to a lion’s head.

With the depth of the content of the magic rune club teaching, some students can no longer keep up and choose to quit voluntarily – there is no way around it because, in the selection of members, he actually thought only seven are qualified, for which he had to relax the conditions.

Some people were actually not ready to invest a lot of time and energy, and when the novelty passed, they decided to leave. Before leaving, they returned the Copper Knut that was used to inform the assembly time.

These things are of little use to him, Felix made them without even adding the most basic safeguarding magic, in fact, it is only a bridging item, which has now been changed to the Ring of the ouroboros snake.

He casually put the Fever Knut into the disposal area, ready to find time to dispose of it. Now it seemed that his own assistant should have found them and studied them privately …

Gryffindor common room.

Harry told Ron and Hermione about his accident yesterday when he went to Professor Lupin’s office and practiced the Patronus Charm.

Hermione said pointedly, “You saw Voldemort – you saw that Dark Lord?” The others in the lounge looked over, and she covered her mouth, “How is that possible, didn’t you say you are just afraid of Dementors?”

“I thought I was too,” Harry said rather fearfully, “Professor Lupin found a boggart from the faculty common room, he said there is some way to fool a boggart, to which I turned it down though.”

“I really thought I was most afraid of dementors, as a result, the boggart became Voldemort stuck in the back of Quirrell’s head, and later became a basilisk …”

Ron said incredulously, “It must be out of its mind, how can someone have two greatest fears?”

Harry explained, “Professor Lupin said it is possible, but usually the same type of fear, such as your fear of spiders, a boggart is possible to switch between different spider forms. My case is relatively rare, Professor Lupin speculated that it may be that the Boggart could not find something that would make me lose my mind, so it had to take turns – ” and with that, he grinned.

Hermione raised her eyebrows, “I think it might be the influence of that Dementor doll … how many times have you guys taken it for a play?”

Ron said emphatically, “That wasn’t playing, Hermione. We were getting ourselves used to the feeling of facing a Dementor, and you see, Harry isn’t that scared now.”

Hermione grunted as she asked Harry, “But how are you going to practice the Patronus Charm?”

“Professor Lupin has temporarily fooled the boggart into thinking that my greatest fear is still dementors, but he told me to bring the dementor doll over to him next time …”

Harry shrugged, “The professor said he had never heard of anything like that before.”
