A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Newt looked surprised and fascinated.

He stared at the unusually large bird snake, his eyes focused and hot, and he murmured, "Am I dreaming, I hope Tina doesn't wake me up in the middle." He tried to approach, but the bird snake seemed to be frightened by his attitude, The flapping of his wings brought a strong wind that pushed him back a few steps.

"Wow, calm down—"

From somewhere on his body, Newt pulled out a canning jar full of beetles. "I know you like this, no harm, you see, it's food—uh—" he said, trying As I slowly unscrewed the lid, I found that the bird snake began to gradually become smaller.

"Felix?" he said with obvious confusion.

Soon the bird snake was only the size of the shell, and its bodies were coiled together. Warren jumped off the table and looked at Bird Snake, his black eyes gleaming, and the two little guys were almost the same height.

"Ha!"

Warren just wanted to reach out to grab it, but the bird snake had already fled to the side, and as the mist filled the air, Felix's figure reappeared. He stretched out his hand, the robe covered his body, and he returned to normal.

"The show is over."

Felix snapped his fingers, and the fog quickly dissipated.

Newt looked visibly disappointed.

"You wouldn't want to study me, would you?" Felix said warily.

"Oh, no, how could it be—" Newt said slightly flustered, his eyes still steady on him, "Of course not—I can tell the difference between you, there is no such big bird snake in reality. , at least I haven't seen it, is it because of you?" He changed the subject lamely.

But to be honest, Felix was also secretly relieved. Newt's eyes just now seemed to be looking at his favorite magical animal, and it was a new species he had never seen before.

"It should be my fault," he said, sitting on a rock. "I've also tried Fantastic Beasts a few times during this time, but the newest one is obviously easier and more complete. I guess it might be Because I'm pretty good at scaling spells."

"That magic you used on the blow-tail snail?" Newt asked sharply.

Felix nodded.

"That's no wonder," Newt said. "Ancient Rune and Fantastic Beasts are deeply connected—I've read your paper—but, well," he considered the wording, "you should understand that the two It's different, I mean ancient magic and the gift of fantastic beasts, they're different."

"I understand," Felix nodded, "perhaps in the beginning, ancient runes did imitate magical animals and plants, but when wizards combined pure rune symbols into the first brand-new magic, this The two are already very clear."

"However, I will try to restore their abilities."

His light blue eyes showed infinite desire, "The talents of some magical animals are really fascinating." He looked down at the invisible beast. In addition to being invisible, this little guy also has the ability to temporarily predict the future, and then he thought Phoenix Fox in the principal's office, reborn from ashes... that must be extremely difficult.

"You are the most qualified to say this." Newt also said with emotion, "Everyone has underestimated the potential of ancient Rune... When will you come next time? I can't wait to see the new changes. already."

"Let's wait until I encounter a bottleneck," Felix said regretfully. "I need time to digest the current harvest, and it is estimated that this year or two will be very busy."

"War," Newt whispered.

...

After coming out of Newt's house, Felix first walked around the company headquarters in Diagon Alley.

The development of Future World is on the right track, and - Felix is ​​surprised to find - the employees are generally young, and many are even Hogwarts graduates in the past two years.

"At present, we have 267 people. At the request of Professor you, the development in the UK will remain unchanged at the current level, and instead, it will expand rapidly abroad and establish a station." Clemie said with a thick document.

"Did the plan to introduce the foundations of alchemy go well?"

"People who have the foundation of ancient rune masters quickly, and the rest of the progress is relatively slow."

"Don't worry," Felix nodded. "What about defensive training?"

Cremy sighed.

"Not all wizards like to fight, especially since the dueling classes in schools haven't been taught for a few years, and you know what the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts class was... More than a third of the employees didn't even master a dueling spell, Not to mention fighting awareness, they know a lot of small curses, but they are useless except to make fun of people."

"It's not bad to use a prank," Felix said, "but the employees of the company must master the most basic self-protection ability, the Rune Iron Armor..." He paused and thought about it, "Forget it, not all Everyone has taken the ancient rune as an elective, then the iron armor spell and the stun spell must be mastered as soon as possible. The apparition and the bright fire spell are delayed. Orders can be postponed for a period of time, or given to foreign employees to do it, we There are currently no competitors."

Cremy quickly wrote it down.

"What about the progress of Anti-thief Waterfall?"

"Remus is still negotiating with Gringotts, but the goblins ignore him," said Cremy indignantly.

"The goblins want to be neutral, or the more we fight, the happier they are..." Felix said. "And the Ministry of Magic?"

"The Ministry of Magic has technology, but it hasn't been used in hundreds of years," said Clemi with a quizzical expression. "They couldn't find the right person to build the anti-thief waterfall."

"Didn't the Alchemy Society send someone to help?" Felix asked curiously.

"After all, it's a magical organization that spans Europe," Cremy shrugged, "Many people are reluctant to come here at this sensitive time, and British alchemists... not very famous, unless you count Joko. superior."

"Zhoko..." Felix was speechless.

Zuko is the owner of the Joko joke shop in Hogsmeade. He used to be an alchemist, but his business was not very good at the beginning. After struggling for a few years, he could barely make ends meet and almost starved to death. Later, he had no choice but to switch to studying pranks and tricks Unexpectedly, the product became an instant hit, and it has gone further and further in this field since then.

What to do then, Felix was lost in thought. As his goals became bigger and bigger, he was worried that Voldemort would focus on the employees of the 'future world' company. In addition to the regular protection magic, Anti-thief Falls seemed more Strategically valuable, it washes away all enchantments, all magical camouflages, and has an effective range that covers even Potion and Imperius.

"Professor..." Cremy raised her hand and looked at him with bright eyes.

Felix's heart moved, "Do you want to try?"

"That's right," said Clemi, relieved, she thought she and the professor had thought of it together, "We have more than fifty R\u0026D wizards, each of whom is good at two or three directions, and has experienced many new products. development process, I can't think of a more tacit group."

Felix pondered the feasibility of the plan. The Ministry of Magic has technology, they have a mature team, and they have enough brainpower. It seems to be a win-win result. I just don’t know if the Ministry of Magic will agree to sell the technology, and it’s hard to say. Daily News has reached a cooperation.

The Daily Prophet also grew rapidly after the war.

"Professor," said Clemie eagerly, "now is an opportunity."

"Okay," Felix agreed. "I'll go and tell Ms. Burns that if she doesn't have a better choice now, I'll be sure to convince her. Anything else?"

"Yes!" said Clemie, "but it's just a little thing."

She flipped through the file quickly.

"The Weasley twins interned here, their—"

"Wait, Fred and George are here? Right at the company? Now?" Felix asked in surprise.

"Yeah," Kremy nodded, "they came over on the first day of the holiday, with a belly full of bizarre ideas... Remus valued their anti-curse cap and anti-curse cape series, and appointed them For the team leader, I personally beat them." She pursed her lips, "But Remus rejected their Mystery Man prank series, which is scary boxes, constipation kernels and the like... Fred kept yelling at Remus. Moss doesn't know the stuff, and says you rave about this stuff—is that the case?"

"Well, I appreciate their design ideas, but joking about Voldemort... It's really not appropriate, the Death Eaters will chase after them and chant the death curse..."

Cremy stared at Felix's unnatural face for a while, with a suspicious expression on her face.

"Cough, let's continue."

"...Because of the endorsement of the Ministry of Magic, the sales of rune cards have increased significantly. It is estimated that according to this progress, each family will soon be able to have one set... In fact, the promotion of rune cards is selling well, no matter what. Whether it’s the comics published by Andis, or the rune booklet, they are all printed again and again... Many people wrote to ask about the spellcasting skills of Illumination, and Penello often worked overtime during this time.”

Felix wasn't too surprised.

"Illumination is arguably the simplest and safest ancient magic," he said.

"Maybe that's not the reason," Keremy said strangely, "The Anti-Dark Magic Alliance recently announced some spells that are effective against black magic. In addition to the Bright Fire spell, which occupies the top spot, the Illumination is also on the list. The recommended effect is that it can be used on a large scale. expel the corpse..."

"Uh—is that the reason? I thought it was out of love for ancient runes." Felix joked.

"Professor," Clemie said with a stern face, "Infernal corpses are not even troublesome for you, but during the first war, mysterious people created a large number of Infernal corpses to spread terror, which is the heart of countless wizards. nightmare."

Felix scratched his chin. As she said, he never regarded the corpses as a threat, after all, he could solve them in different ways. But thinking about it carefully, the Infernal corpse is not that easy to deal with - it is not slow, has no pain, and can resist regular spells.

It's a nightmare for a wizard who can't Apparate and drag his family around.

If it is combined with the army of dementors, it will be even more terrifying.

...

He went to the Ministry of Magic that day to discuss cooperation in researching the Anti-thief Falls. Ms. Burns readily agreed, "I've had enough of the attitude of the goblins." There was no turbulence in the whole process, except Felix watched a bickering between Sirius and Burns.

The cause was the Longbottom couple who had returned from a trip.

The Ministry of Magic has recently recruited a group of reserve Aurors and strikers, and the result is a decline in the average combat level. Burns is in desperate need of an experienced Auror squad leader, which is very worrying.

"As a result, the Order of the Phoenix has silently digested two important combat forces." Ms. Burns said dissatisfiedly.

Sirius' attitude is that he refuses to admit it.

"Is this the case? I didn't pay attention. I've been with you these days, and I'm so busy... You haven't paid me yet!" He put one hand in his pocket, squinted his eyes, and said in a tone Very begging, "And are you sure Frank and Alice are from the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Sirius Black! My brother was one of the first members of the Order of the Phoenix! Do you think I didn't know?" Burns yelled at him.

Sirius fell silent immediately, and rarely did not refute. He said with a complicated expression: "Edgar... He is a brave man and a reliable comrade-in-arms. I am sorry for what happened to him."

It took Burns a long time to calm down.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little gaffe - Felix, let's talk about the arrangement of the ceremony, Dumbledore is worried that the Death Eaters will attack that day, alas, in order to cheer people up, we have to make a big splash... A lot of people have know about it."

If even the cleaners at the Ministry of Magic knew about it, it would be hard for the Death Eaters to know.

"On the day of the award, we will arrange for the Aurors to guard the whole process. They are the most trustworthy people, and with Dumbledore and you there, the possibility of danger is very low. I even think..." She hesitated and said, " We can go out and catch a bunch of Death Eaters."

"Absolutely not!" Sirius objected, "I can't let Harry and the others act as bait."

"Not them."

"what?"

"It wasn't them that acted as bait, it was ours," Ms Burns said. "I was one of them."

Sirius looked at her in astonishment.

"What? What do you think I got to be the director of the Law Enforcement Department during your ten years in prison?" Ms. Burns said calmly.

Sirius was stunned by the confidence in those words.

"The crybaby turned into a cool girl..." Felix said while sitting in his chair, flipping through a comic book, the two of them glared at him, Felix closed the book, and said nonchalantly, "Bones, I'm interested in the bait part, we can have a good chat."

...

When he returned to 12 Grimmauld Place again, Felix was just in time for dinner. There was a big crowd around the table, Sirius, Tonks, Moody, the Weasleys, Bill, Fred and George, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and—

"Hello, Professor," said Neville shyly. The Longbottoms, who were sitting on both sides, smiled and said, "Mr. Hepp, the last time we met was on Neville's birthday, almost a year has passed."

"Yeah," Harry couldn't help saying, "I just found out today that Neville's birthdays are only one day apart."

"It looks like we're going to prepare two birthday parties in a row." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, "Felix, I prepared your favorite soup."

"Oh--"

"Molly, Felix has only eaten your meal once," Mr. Weasley reminded his wife.

"There will be more in the future." Mrs. Weasley secretly photographed her husband and said to everyone, "Hurry up and eat, the children are exhausted."

"Thanks, Mom," Fred and George said in unison.

"I'm not talking about you." Mrs. Weasley gave them a sideways glance, then turned to Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville with a smile and said, "You've been in the basement these days, it's not healthy, It’s good to breathe fresh air and live in a shabby for a few days, but if you hold it for a long time, you will be depressed.”

"Yeah," said Mr. Weasley, "you can't expect a summer to be comparable to adults. With us in the front, maybe the war will be over before you graduate. You can fight Cedric. Quidditch, the family has moved to the Burrow... take care of each other."

"What's the matter?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, we also tried to convince the Lovegoods, but they didn't want to move—"

"No," Sirius frowned, looking at Harry and the others, "you've been staying at home all this time? Practice magic all day? What do you want to do?"

Harry silently scratched at the leaves in the soup bowl, Hermione looked up, looked left and right, then lowered her head again.

Ron muttered, "You're not letting us in the Order of the Phoenix meeting, we've got to find something to do."

"My dears, you are not old enough—" Mrs. Weasley said.

"We might be able to help a little with this..." Fred and George looked at each other and said slyly, "There's something called telescopic ears—"

"Shut up, you two. I haven't told you yet!" Mrs Weasley snapped.

Ron spread his hands and said to the others, "You have seen it too, even Fred and George were forced to run away from home. They are all grown ups, not a few years younger than Tonks—"

Tonks across from him made a face at him, a real one.

"They want to deal with My-Know-Who and Death Eaters!" Ginny said sharply, throwing her fiery red hair back. "I wanted to train with me too, but they didn't want me and drove me away."

"Oh, shut up, Ginny," said Ron.

"I hope it's just a long-term goal, boys," said Mr. Weasley, putting down the cutlery, slightly solemnly. "Otherwise, we'll need to talk."

4.8k words, if no suitable point is found, it will not be divided into chapters.
