Chapter 187 The Twins and Snape's Gossip
After the fifth-grade ancient magical essay class in the afternoon, Felix kept the twins alone.
"Professor, do you really have seven kinds of spectators?" Fred asked curiously.
In the class just now, Felix's arrangements were the same as in the seventh grade, and also explained the study plan for the entire 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 magical creation mirror.
Felix nodded and said, "It does exist, you will see it in the next class."
The reason he delayed was that he was missing a kind of spectator, which was in a state of adjustment.
"A Study of Ancient Alchemy" mentions seven methods of making spectacles, but they all take the alchemy route. What Felix did during this period was to replace some magical circuits so that their functions remain unchanged and even enhance them.
He enjoyed trying it out, and if he could, he was going to spend most of his time this year changing the alchemy creations into magical creations.
With Nick Lemay, the alchemy master, he is confident enough in this.
...
George asked, "Why are there seven kinds of looking glasses?"
Fred said without hesitation: "Maybe the shape of the mirror is disguised? For example, it is usually a door handle, and once it touches, it will scream loudly."
George followed his thoughts and said: "A little like our fake wand, or it could be the other way around, usually in the shape of a spectator, but if you try to do something about it, it will spray fireworks from the tail and run around the room..."
Frey laughed and said, "Very great thoughts, George, what a charming little head."
George bowed: "So too, Mr. Weasley."
"Ahem!" Felix coughed twice, stopping their play. "Seeing that you are so happy, I can't bear to tell you what's next."
The twins turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
"Oh, don't, Felix, we're in the same group." Fred said without hesitation.
Felix was amused, and he had just said this not long ago, "Don't respect the professor?"
Fred raised his hands and made a mercy gesture.
But neither side cared about it. Felix discovered very early on that the personalities of these two people are very suitable for being friends, provided that you have a certain degree of majesty in front of them, otherwise their habitual pranks would be a headache.
It is not appropriate to be an assistant. Felix initially wanted to find someone to help him share the work, but it was hard for him to imagine that the twins would carefully correct their homework. He even suspected that they might impose evil curses on some bad test papers.
For example, if the homework with zero grades is subjected to a knot spell, the little wizard who does not study hard can feel the malice from the magic text assistant...
It's quite interesting to think about it carefully, but I can only think about it.
Felix's expression became serious: "Okay, let's get back to the point. This year is your OWLs year, how many exams do you have the confidence to pass?"
"There is no problem with ancient magic texts. If they exchanged the test content for magic puppets," Fred said gasping.
Felix said with a stern face: "This is not a joke. I don't refuse you to do research and provide guidance in your spare time, but your grades cannot be reduced too much."
The twins sighed, and Fred said the truth with a rare slightest: "I guess I can pass four or five exams in my OWLs exam, or even fewer, what about you, George?"
"We have the same level, but I think you may be too optimistic. I think the three certificates are more reasonable numbers." George said with a straight face.
Fred immediately smiled.
Felix shook his head, not letting them break the topic at will, he said directly: "To prevent you from being overly addicted, I specially entrusted your brother, Percy Weasley, to let him take time to watch you."
"What!"
"No, professor!"
Felix's lips curled up, "Is there anything wrong with it? I told him that he will not interfere in your research, at least not in the short term. As far as I know, his grades are very good, and he can provide you with some advice."
Fred shrank his neck, his eyes tilted to the side, and he made a proud gesture in imitating Percy's tone, saying, "Fred! Put away your prank candy, if I see you for others, I will put your confinement in my mind, I will do what I say!"
Felix: "…Frankly, your gummy is not poisonous, right?"
"Of course not, professor, we have done the test, I was the first test subject," Fred said.
"I'm the second one," said George.
The twins and Felix were soaked for ten minutes, and they were about to be late, so they left quickly. Before leaving, they did not forget to shout loudly.
"Professor, we will not give up!"
"Yes, unless you take back this decision!"
Felix looked at their backs with some headache. At one moment, an idea popped up in his mind: ‘Did Professor Snape also view me like this?’
‘But he wasn’t that absent.’ He returned to the office and took some time to complete the improvement of the last seventh sight glass.
Looking at the different sizes of the glasses on the workbench, his mood became inexplicably better.
"The number of ancient magical texts I have mastered now exceeds one thousand. When can this number become ten thousand and twenty thousand?"
"At that time, what would my understanding of magic reach?"
Felix imagined that during the battle, the demonic texts lingered around him, and under his thoughts, they automatically aggregated into powerful ancient magic. Other people's spells were at most beams of light, and he had completely abandoned his wand and raised his hand to attack continuously.
There is no way to escape, no way to avoid, and only to resist.
"I've thought too much, and now there are few people who can let me take full advantage of it. I'm still thinking about what I'll do next time I communicate with Nick Lemay. His understanding of alchemy is completely beyond my imagination."
"With his perspective, I can look at alchemy and magical creations from a higher level."
"This will help me better understand the characteristics of the magic text."
In the evening, when Felix walked out of the office and went to the auditorium to have dinner, he accidentally heard two gossips.
One thing is that there was an accident in Hagrid's first class, and a student was injured. Felix breathed a sigh of relief after asking carefully. The situation was not serious. The student's wound had some alien magic. With Mrs. Pomfrey's skills, he could only be alive after three days of cultivation.
He didn't take this matter seriously. The former professor of this course caused much more trouble than this. At most, Hagrid was punished with a punishment that he could stay for inspection.
The second thing made him scratch his head. In the Black Magic Defense class, the new professor taught third-year students to resist Bogt, a magical creature that can be transformed according to the fear in his heart.
Bogt is not strong in nature, but it is amazingly effective against wizards who have fatal weaknesses or are fragile in their hearts. Especially when facing it without any warning.
In class, a student's fear in his heart turned out to be Snape. With Professor Lupin's encouragement, the student overcame his fear and recited the Boggart expulsion mantra "funny and funny". As a result, things really became funny. Professor Snape, who symbolized his inner fear, changed into women's clothing.
Felix was sitting on Hufflepuff's long table at the time, two seats across him, a little witch with two golden braids was vividly depicting the scene at that time.
"...Professor Snape came over with great momentum. Although his target was Longbottom, I felt cold, thinking that he would definitely fail now. Guess what happened?"
Hannah Abbot said with a red face: "Lonbaton shouted a spell, like a whip hit Professor Snape. His clothes instantly turned into a grandmother's clothes with flowers embroidered, with a triangle hat on his head and a huge red handbag in his hand..."
"To be honest, the first time I found that boy was so cool!"
