” What happened, I saw you look a little angry and pissed off when you first came in.” Felix asked, looking no different from yesterday, except for a wide dark brown bowler hat on his head.
“Professor, I already know what that ‘very interesting’ magic rune is.” Hermione heaved, this term filled with bad taste, mentioned by Professor Hap last night when she suggested that she would try to discover the power of an individual magic rune herself.
“Tell me about it, and I’ll see if you guess correctly.” The corners of Felix’s mouth curled up.
“It’s Uruz, which represents the power of the Wild Ox,” she used a weird tone, a pale white light coating her hands, and her eyes looked at him unkindly.
“Just as I thought … Ahem! An interesting experience must have happened to you.” Felix said.
“Very interesting indeed! I got up early today to avoid everyone, to try this magic rune in the corner of the common room, had some failures as well as some successes …” her face scrunched up with confusion and disbelief, “I don’t know why, but Fred and George sneaked out early too, and tiptoed as if they were hiding from someone.”
“Uh …”
“I was using this magic rune, and I heard them walking, So I didn’t manage to control it for a moment, and I just, I just–” Hermione said with a grimace and remorse: “I broke the arm of the chair in front of them. ”
Felix stifled a laugh and reassured her, “Not a big deal, only the two of them saw it.”
“Not anymore,” Hermione said sadly, “They told Lee Jordan.”
Lee Jordan is the commentator for the school’s Quidditch games and is known for his loud mouth at school, Felix saw a few Quidditch games last school year and was quite impressed with him.
“It’ll all be over, well, maybe,” Felix digressed, “let’s get to the main topic of the day – well, I won’t teach in the thinking room today, it’s being renovated and there’s too much noise. ”
Hermione looked at him with a bewildered look, what’s the professor talking about?
“… Discovering the power of individual magic runes will allow you to become better acquainted with the runes themselves, otherwise, there is little use in mastering more of them. That’s what I’ve learned recently.”
Felix said, from the tip of his index finger appeared a fiery red rune symbol, it bounced past the little witch.
When the rune symbol returned to his palm, Felix clutched it, and Hermione suspected that Professor Hap had crushed the little thing, but he slowly spread his palm, and a small flame burned quietly.
“To this extent, it is similar.”
Originally a little upset, Hermione is now fascinated by the new knowledge, and soon she began to ask one question after another.
Under his guidance, less than half an hour, Hermione mastered the magic rune signifying ‘light’, and a white, warm glow appeared from her hands, although it was only a thin, and superficial one.
“You have laid a good foundation earlier, Miss Granger, you can play a greater role in the magic rune club.”
Hermione sniffed, then said excitedly, “Professor, the Magic Rune Club is about to start?”
“Yes, the news will be announced next Monday.”
Hermione is very excited about the magic rune club, according to the professor’s previous statement, he will focus on practical ancient rune knowledge.
The rest of the time, Hermione practiced alone, Felix flipped through a large book, and all sorts of runes jumped from his fingertips.
Hermione looked exhausted and yawning, as she heard the professor’s voice from the table –
“Did you use the time-tuner today?”
Hermione looked over in a panic, and Professor Hap is staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze through the large bulk of books.
“What? Uh, oh …” she calmed down after a while, “There’s never enough time. I have to do a lot of homework, do extra work on magic runes and read some reference books … It took me six hours in the morning alone.”
Felix shook his head, “I can already imagine how busy you usually are, are you planning to take one day as two, or three?”
Hermione didn’t say anything.
“In fact, I suggest you give up one or two … courses.”
“No, I don’t want to give up,” Hermione said in a firm tone as she interrupted him.
“If that’s the case, you could consult Percy Weasley, who I understand got twelve certificates on the OWLs.”
Hermione nodded her head in approval of the suggestion.
She did wonder how Percy managed to use the time tuner, it had only been a week, and she’s already struggling.
“Can you tell me what did it feel like to use the time-tuner?”
Hermione wondered as she noticed Professor Hap had re-hidden his face behind the bulk of the books. She thought for a moment and described her experience: “It felt like I was flying backward like I was flying, but I wasn’t actually moving at all …”
“You think it is the scene that is moving?”
“Exactly.”
“What else do you feel besides that?”
“I heard some strange sounds, like a drum pounding in my ears, I wanted to talk, but I couldn’t hear anything, I could only see some fuzzy patterns, some like clouds.”
“Thank you, Miss Granger, your answer satisfies my curiosity considerably.”
After a short conversation, the office became quiet.
It wasn’t until Hermione left did Felix put down his book, “The Mystery of Time …”
The next day, a new week began.
Felix took the time to go to the headmaster’s office after his first-class and handed the three Sneakoscopes to Dumbledore.
“Clever idea, I suspect it might incorporate a Trace Charm, oh, and more than that, I saw some of Nicolas’s techniques, looks like you guys have been communicating a lot lately.”
His silvery-white beard tied up, he is currently surveying the walnut-sized pocket Sneakoscope through the half-moon lens.
“You can see that?” Felix asked in surprise.
“I was also addicted to alchemy when I was young, and Nicolas pointed me out, but unfortunately, I did not continue along that path,” Dumbledore said regretfully.
Felix suddenly remembered that he saw the introduction of this old man from the Chocolate Frog card a long, long time ago. One of the sentences came to mind again.
” – his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel.”
So, the headmaster’s alchemical attainments were not bad? He thought of the lamp extinguisher he had glimpsed by chance.
He suddenly realized that he only had a very general knowledge of Dumbledore’s past. For example, the defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald, the subjugation of Voldemort, and a series of papers published in his youth.
But what beyond that? He knew the headmaster has a sweet tooth, a fondness for chamber music and ten-pin bowling.
Felix couldn’t help but think about it.
“No problem, Felix, you have done an excellent job,” Dumbledore said.
After Dumbledore confirmed that there is no issue, he offered his farewell.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now, Headmaster Dumbledore.”
“There is nothing else except that I would like to express my gratitude to you, Felix.” Dumbledore said, “Oh, and by the way, that’s a beautiful hat you have.”
Felix left with a stern face, he refused to respond to that remark. As he left, he glanced fleetingly at the portrait of Headmaster Phineas Black gesturing at him, as if to remind him implicitly not to forget the conversation a week ago.
