Chapter 192 News from the Rune Club
The next two days were calm. During the fourth-grade Ancient Magic Literature Class on Thursday morning, Felix also revealed the news about the Magic Literature Club to the students.
As soon as get out of class was over, he was surrounded by many students.
"Professor, when will the Magic Wen Club hold an event?" said a witch with golden curly hair. She asked with her friend in her arms.
Felix said gently: "Miss Ekemo, the news will be announced next Monday, including recruiting new ways."
"Can you reveal it in advance, just a little?" Marietta Aikemo said begging, and the students around him couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
"One of the methods is to pass the public assessment, and I can only say so much," Felix said.
"Does the assessment still need to be conducted? Oh, but other clubs have passed the invitation!" Marietta chirped.
Eddie Camilche retorted her: "I think it's good, after all, it's the first time I've hired someone." He thinks he is a top student and can stand out even if he has an assessment.
Eddie was detained by Professor McGonagall for selling inferior potions last school year. At that time, Felix happened to want to take Ron out of Lockhart, so he asked Professor McGonagall to come to the young wizard who was detained recently.
He is one of nine people.
In addition to Hermione who joined the middle, a total of ten people completed the initial test of "answer parchment".
Felix explained: "There are a few people who will receive my own direct invitation. They are the candidates I have observed this year and think they are suitable. But time is limited after all, and I can't understand all of you..."
The little wizards around him dispersed one after another. Marietta held his friend's hand and asked, "Qiu, what kind of assessment do you think will be?"
Qiu Zhang joked, "It's not necessarily an assessment, maybe you will receive an invitation."
"I know myself. I'm just the same grade in this course, and that Camilche hopes more." Marietta said a little pessimistically, but she quickly looked at her seriously. "You might get an invitation."
Qiu Zhang stroked his hair, "We can't put our hope on this, we should make some preparations in advance." She blinked and looked at her friend, "The professor has revealed a lot of information."
"Is there any?" Marietta looked at her with a confused look on her face.
"The professor said he would conduct public assessments. After combining what he said, he observed for a year and found several suitable candidates... What did you think of?"
"I thought...uh, there are two ways to recruit new ones?"
Qiu Zhang stared at her eyes, Marietta said with a embarrassed smile: "You know that my brain is not as smart as you, and I am confused all day long."
"You are too lazy to use your brain!" Qiu Zhang said angrily, and she then explained: "The assessment criteria are definitely not the grades of ancient magical literature, otherwise there is no need to waste time. In addition, the various things this professor has done over the past year, magic puppets, question-answered parchment, and this year's glimpse... all illustrate one thing."
"What?"
"He values practicality more in ancient magical texts!"
Marietta finally came back to the spotlight, "It makes sense, but we have not learned much practical sexual magical texts..."
"So I guess there are two possibilities!" Qiu Zhang raised his finger, "The first is to let us make an alchemy item and examine our hands-on ability;"
"The second type is to examine our understanding of practical ancient magical texts."
"But I don't understand anything. We only learned 7 last year, no, 9 practical sex magic words." Marietta said with a bitter face.
"Stupid, the professor has written a total of three books, one of which is about ancient magical texts."
"Then what are we waiting for!" She excitedly held Qiu Zhang's hand and was about to go to the library.
"Wait, wait, we still have classes!" Qiu Zhang grabbed his unreliable friend.
"Oh, I forgot. By the way, did that handsome guy from Hufflepuff ask you out?"
"Ahem! This...he invited me to Hogsmeade for the weekend."
“Oh~”
On the other hand, Felix had finished his morning class. He headed straight to the library and met the new professor of Black Magic Defense who came out from inside at the door.
He nodded to the professor and passed by him.
"Professor Hayp, please wait!"
Felix stopped, "Is there anything wrong, Professor Lupin?"
Lupin looked at him gently: "That's right, I learned from some students that there has been interaction between the duel class and the Dark Magic Defense class before. I want to ask about your plan for this school year..."
Felix's scalp was tingling, and he felt Snape staring at him in a corner.
Of course, this is just an illusion.
He thought for a while and said, "I'll communicate with Severus and determine what I'll teach this school year."
Lupin clearly understood his hint, and he did not make any other requests and thanked him gently.
Felix looked at his back, "A good person, but unfortunately you can only stay for a year." Otherwise, he would work hard and try to untie the knot between the two.
But such things are actually thankless and easy to get yourself in. When Snape is angry, he will be blind.
Felix walked into the library, greeted Mrs. Pins, the librarian, and came all the way to the forbidden book area.
After a while, he found the book he wanted - "The Witcher's Blood".
‘The origin of wizards is different, and the two are the most popular. Destiny Theorists believe that wizards are people who naturally awaken the power of magic. They are extraordinary and unique in life. These people are regarded as the original pure blood, or the source of the first generation of wizards.’
‘The wizards who hold the argument for blood transplantation believe that wizards were just ordinary people at first. In a very early era, ordinary people (muggles) faced the threat of magical animals and had difficulty in survival. Some wise men used experiments to transplant some magical bloodlines to themselves, thus possessing magical power.’
‘But the second statement is obviously untenable. It is a blasphemy against the identity of a wizard, full of incredible lies. Whenever someone discusses this topic with me, I always refute him with a question: Where did those original magical creatures come from?’
‘This question is not easy to answer, because there are two kinds of sounds, one is the theory of nature, which believes that those magical creatures have always existed, and the other sound believes that magical creatures are the result of the wizard’s experiment.’
'According to the first statement, if magical animals always exist, why can't wizards always exist? And the second statement proves the greatness of wizards...'
Felix quickly turned over this part of the content mixed with strong personal opinions. After more than ten minutes, he stopped in a passage.
‘The wizard's blood is magical, more powerful than other parts. In some rigorous magic contracts, blood is one of the necessary conditions. This leads to the infamous bloodline detection magic. Some pure blood families will extract the bloodline of newborn descendants and abandon those with low concentrations. However, this practice has been despised. To this day, it is not ruled out that some stubborn families still insist on using it…’
Felix raised his head from the book and pondered what he saw.
He originally wanted to confirm whether Sirius Black's hair could be used to replace blood, thereby prying open Black's old house's defense system.
But the question is how much hair should he need? Dumbledore didn't give much, and it was very difficult to make three spectacles. So Felix came to the library to check the relevant information.
Chapter completed!
