Chapter 353 Rune Cards
Felix was having breakfast in the school auditorium while flipping through the newspapers of the day. Rita Skirt commented on the trouble Alastor Moody caused yesterday with his spicy brushstrokes and unobstructed tendencies, and also mocked Mr. Weasley.
In this report, Moody is considered a tricky figure who "cannot distinguish between ordinary handshake and intentional murder", while Mr. Weasley is mistakenly called "Arnold Weasley", and revisits the old story, referring to the flying car two years ago.
Felix read it again, and the woman was very good at reporting facts half-hiddenly—just the part she needed, and then combined with her own distorted understanding to come to a ridiculous conclusion.
But in general, some useful things can still be seen, such as the one mentioned above that a female official has been missing for more than a month, which is likely to refer to Bertha Joggins.
...
Felix walked into the classroom of the ancient magic literature class ten minutes in advance, and some students were already sitting scattered on his seat.
"Hello, Felix." Luna raised her head from the magazine and greeted him happily, as if she had met by chance not in class, but in other places, such as in the clearings of the Forbidden Forest.
Felix smiled, "Hello, Luna. Are you in third grade?"
"Yes." She was stunned for a while. Ginny next to her was no longer surprised and pulled the magazine to her. They were just playing with the prize-winning quiz in the magazine, and they guessed it correctly and got the gift.
Luna stared at her big misty eyes and said to Felix: "Tell me more, I like your Christmas gifts. Have I told you?"
"Oh, uh, I remember it was..." Felix had a rare trance. This problem was something he had not expected, "Nine months ago."
Two rows apart, a gray-haired boy suddenly raised his hand and looked at him with anticipation.
"Hello?"
Felix was a little surprised. He pulled out a long piece of parchment, carefully looked at the boy's red pattern on the wizard's robe, and lowered his head to look for the boy's name from Gryffindor Academy.
"Hai, Professor Hayp, my name is Colin. Harry Potter recommended me to take this course, and I also like magic puppets!" He held his arms high as he spoke.
Felix stroked the list on the parchment and nodded at him, "Crevi, we are just chatting."
"Then can we get the magic puppet today? Can I choose one by myself?" Colin said excitedly.
"Of course, I will also give you all permissions to the ancient magic literature class in 'Anti-answer parchment'. Many of your homework for this school year will be completed on it..." Felix said.
There are more and more students in the classroom.
Luna and Ginny held the magazine "Singing the Spoken" and tried to guess the puzzle above. Luna picked up the page with the puzzle printed and looked at the shadow on it through the light, "I think it's an origami hat."
"Why didn't I see anything?" Ginny said, "By the way - why do you call the professor's name?"
"Because we are friends," Luna said happily, taking out a quill pen and outlining the shape of her imaginary hat.
Ginny was still thinking about the riddle of the riddle: "A thing is empty in its belly, and it is related to wisdom; it is not necessary to see it when it is used, but it is not necessary to see it." She shook her red hair and woke up, "Yes, what else can it be?"
She snatched Luna's pen and wrote the word "hat" in the blank space of the answer. The page in the magazine fell off lightly, folded herself into a hat, and Ginny put it on Luna's head.
"Okay--" Felix stood on the podium and looked at the sitting classroom, saying: "Welcome, classmates! I'm glad to see that the number of people who have signed up for the ancient magic literature class has increased a few more this year."
After he clicked his name, his eyes swept over the little wizards present, and they looked at Felix with a gaze.
"With the new school starts, your mind is still clear, let's talk about some topics worth thinking about." Felix said, his voice was not as excited as it was at the beginning, but was much calmer, and the students below quickly entered the state.
“I certainly hope you have performed well in this course, but first I want to clarify one fact-
The knowledge in the textbook is just my most basic requirement for you. If you want to stand out or make a difference in this subject... Whether you are a pure scholar, or want to integrate magical texts and alchemy to reproduce ancient magical objects; or you are following the footsteps of ancient wizards, and experience the wonderful feeling of powerful and arrogant ancient magic taking shape from your hands little by little, releasing... I can teach you all this knowledge, provided that you must meet my requirements.
Given that the teaching props for this course are becoming more and more abundant and the difficulty of learning continues to decline, I will also increase my expectations for you accordingly. The benefits are obvious - you will gain more than students in previous years, and this time, I will lead you to look at more interesting and mysterious areas."
He raised his hand, and dozens of cards flew out of his robe, and landed accurately in front of every little wizard.
"Demonic Card." Felix said briefly, "I hesitated repeatedly between the Demonic Knife and the Demonic Card, but in the end I still thought that the Demonic Card was more suitable for beginners who knew nothing."
"And the magical text carving knife is actually suitable for portraying the magical text circuit. You are still far from this step."
The little wizards listened carefully, and for a moment they were a little confused about these unfamiliar concepts, but Felix did not intend to unfold them carefully. He simply made a distinction and pushed the classroom progress to the next step.
He held the card in his back hand and showed it to the students. As he injected magic into the card, the original traces on the card were gradually lit up, and he also introduced: "The reason why it is suitable for beginners is because its only requirement for you is to infusate stable magic. You have been practicing magic for two years, and this step is not an insurmountable obstacle."
When he finished speaking, the lines on the card had been completely lit up, and egg-sized spherical light projected from the card, composed of countless tiny light spots, which were shiny and bright. From a distance, it looked like a bright, furry ball.
"This is a magical text that means light. You just need to know it for the time being. Look, does it look like a glowing little ball of hair?"
"Its corresponding magic symbol is the pattern on the card, which is a bit like a torch, and it really looks like this-"
An invisible hand appeared in the air, outlining a golden symbol. The little wizards compared the symbol with the patterns on the cards, which was exactly the same.
Felix smiled and grabbed the golden magic text, "In the courses that follow, you will understand the meaning of this magic text, and then you can convert it into the image you see in the projection, which is its magic symbol. Like this-"
His closed palms spread out and displayed them in front of the students. The golden magic text turned into a shiny little ball of light. Then, Felix let go of his bondage, and it completely turned into a bright white light.
"Okay, let's start practicing."
Felix announced that the little wizards held the card together, frowned, and tried to inject magic into it. After a while, Felix saw little faces that were red, with their mouths tightly closed, so serious that they thought they were about to go to a duel that could die at any time.
He shuttled between the students and reminded: "Think about the feeling of deforming the goblet in the transformation class, allowing the magic to flow evenly and steadily... Learn to relax, deliberately force will only make your magic intermittent, this is just a game..."
Under the power of language, the little wizards became calm and their progress began to accelerate.
Felix murmured in a low voice: "I'm so glad that weasley twins didn't use the prank card, otherwise the class would be full of mice."
Unexpectedly, but reasonable, Luna was the first to succeed. Maybe in the whole class, she was the only one who really treated it as a game, "Look, it's the same as Purongrong," she said.
It was rare that Felix heard from her that he knew something.
Purong is a very popular wizard children's pet. Their bodies are spheres covered with milky yellow soft hair, which is indeed somewhat similar to the light ball projected by the magic card. Moreover, the key is that this creature is not fictional, it really exists.
"Ravenclawa ten," Felix showed a stack of cards in front of her, "Pick another one, Miss Lovegood."
Luna stared at her eyes and asked with interest: "Is there any magical text representing the horned snoring beast?"
"……No."
