Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)

In the professor’s seat.

Felix looked at the scene and felt strange, he didn’t seem to have done something horrible, why were the students of Slytherin so afraid of him?

Since sixth grade, he’s been a gentleman, and the oldest of the wizards around here is only in their second year at that time.

This is a smear on his reputation!

If the words got out, it would look like a mobster had come to the school posing as a budding professor.

The other professors also looked at Felix with a slightly odd look, as most of them had experienced Felix’s “seven years of brilliance”, and it’s been three years since he left the school, yet he is still so influential.

It’s this look that made Felix want to punch someone!

Dumbledore smiling all the time as if what just happened is completely normal.

Felix could hardly bear it, but he still pretends nothing has happened and had an awkward conversation with Lockhart.

Bang, bang, bang!

There is a loud knock on the door, and then the door is flung open, and a giant strode in. Behind him were rows of first-year students who resembled a row of herds.

Professor McGonagall, who had originally left, returned and led the new students forward and placed a tattered sorting hat on a small stool.

The next moment, the cap began to sing.

Felix grinned, still so peculiar …

At the end of the annual song, the hats began to divide 1st year into 4 houses, and one by one the young wizards put the hats on their heads and waited to find their calling.

What nostalgia!

After the end of the division, the whole campus began to enjoy dinner, but Felix noticed that Snape hadn’t returned yet, and none of the professors mentioned him… well, you’re not very popular, Professor …

The good news is that Professor Snape returned once in the middle of the dinner, and Felix was relieved that his fears had not become reality – the Professor has not been captured by the unknown monster.

But what mysterious development happened, when Snape leads Professor McGonagall away?

Felix’s imagination is playing with him, and he is now so happy that even looking at the transparent Bloody Baron in delight.

After a few more moments, McGonagall and Snape returned. Felix rushed forward and pulled Professor McGonagall aside to describe a little method he had thought out for his class.

“Open class?” Professor McGonagall repeated, with a look of intense distrust in her eyes.

“Yes, I’m a new professor after all, and the first class is very important, and I’ve used this long holiday to prepare for it, so it would be a waste to split it into five years.” 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

“But if you bring five grades together, they won’t learn anything.”

Felix explained, “My first lesson doesn’t contain any theory, it’s a demonstration class and all they have to do is watch with their eyes, my aim is to show them the wonders of ancient magic runes. As long as they’re interested, I’ll be able to teach them later.”

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, she didn’t like to break the rules, but nevertheless asked, “What day are you going to put the open class on?”

“Thursday afternoon!”

“All right, I agree.” Professor McGonagall behaved like a Deputy Headmistress.

“Er …” Felix looked a bit embarrassed.

“Any more questions, Mr. Hap?”

“Call me Felix,” he replied quickly, “Thursday afternoon is my well-chosen time, but there’s still a lesson that clashes with it.”

Professor McGonagall sighed, “Which professor’s class is it?”

“Professor Snape.”

McGonagall’s eyes widened, and she gave him a stern look, “I’ll talk to him!”

Felix breathed a long sigh of relief.

Eat, eat, keep eating …

When everyone had almost finished eating, Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and under his command, the crowd sang a school song and then dismissed completely!

Felix ate and drank enough and is ready to go back to his professor’s office, watch a film and go to bed.

For the rest of the week, all he has to do is prepare for his open class. What’s there to prepare for? Let’s go to the library tomorrow!

Dear Hogwarts Library, I’ve missed you so much!

The fantasy interrupted and this time, it’s Professor McGonagall who pulled him out of it.

The two of them went to the corner where three young wizards were already standing, two boys and one girl, all in Gryffindor House gown.

The two boys looked exactly identical and were looking sad for some reason; the other girl he had seen before during the summer holiday.

He had a suspicion in his mind.

Are these the three that he and Professor McGonagall had discussed as his assistants? So, in other words, the Weasley twins and Hermione Granger?

Sure enough, after introducing them, Professor McGonagall mentioned Felix’s need for an “assistant (tool)”.

From the looks of it, the twins were somewhat disinterested, while Hermione Granger is somewhat tempted, but also seems to be less interested.

Indeed, is there any appeal for a temporary worker?

It’s not going to work …

Felix decided to say something, and he is sure that when he did it, they would change their attitude completely.

Here see how it goes!

Felix gave Professor McGonagall a glance, followed by a slight cough, he looked at the three young wizards and spoke gently, “Hello, I am your new Ancient Magic Rune professor,” then glanced at Hermione, “and probably your future professor.”

Hermione looked a little more formal, the twins were much bolder, one of them asked with a leap of hope, “Professor, is it true that you defeated the whole of Slytherin House when you were at school? And you drove the Shafiqs into submission?” 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Well, Felix is a full seven years older than the twins, and he graduated before they enrolled, a seamless connection that is perfectly lost.

That’s bold … Felix took pause.

He didn’t respond positively, however, and said, “There are often some strange rumours circulating at Hogwarts, I even heard when I was at school that there was a tunnel that linked to Hogsmeade on the eighth floor of the castle!”

Expectedly, the twins were visibly disappointed, and Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes covertly.

“Let’s continue where we left off. I will be teaching Ancient magic runes at Hogwarts for a long time to come – at least until you graduate. As a result, I’m going to be training an assistant who will be helping me with trivial tasks, such as correcting papers and such.”

Seeing the lack of interest from the two twins, he quickly skipped over this uncomfortable part.

“Of course, with loss comes gain. By becoming my assistant, you will also receive some hidden benefits. For example extra guidance from me, in addition to ancient magic runes, I am also very good at charms, as Professor McGonagall can vouch for me.”

“Secondly, extra bonus points. Assistant work takes up some of your time after school, after all, so Professor McGonagall and I have discussed adding fifty points per semester.”

The twins looked at each other, that’s a hundred points for one academic year!

And Hermione’s eyes were just as bright, in fact, she became excited as soon as she heard the first offer.

“Thirdly, you will have the opportunity to take part in my research. You will be exposed to a lot of advanced magical knowledge that will not be taught in the curriculum.”

“Fourth, priority to join my Ancient magic rune club next year.”

“Fifth, earn my personal friendship. If one becomes my assistant, I will not refuse the usual little favours,” Felix winked and whispered in a seductive tone, “such as forbidden Books in the Library, weekend trips to the Forbidden Forest, and roaming the castle after hours … ”

“Cough cough cough!” Professor McGonagall suddenly coughed so violently that she seemed to be coughing her lungs out.

“Well, the last two doesn’t count.” Felix felt somewhat sorry for himself; when he had been in school, he had strongly wished to be able to do these things openly rather than secretly – two completely different experiences.

Still, with all those previous perks, it would be enough to excite the three young wizards.

Sure enough, by the time he finished, the twins and Hermione were so full of expectation that they seemed ready to say ‘I do’ in the next minute.

“Of course, it’s not easy to become my assistant, you’re all the best under the fifth year at Hogwarts, which is why Professor McGonagall recommended you to me.”

“However, there is a necessary test,” Felix began slowly and deliberately, like a sinister and experienced hunter, as he drew his wand and turned two strands of hair into parchment and a quill, which started to fill the parchment with words in the air.

The three young wizards took a peek at what seemed to be a very, very long list of books …

The twins’ faces immediately turned sour, even sourer than before.

After the quill finished writing, it quietly turned into a flame. He stretched out his wand again and clicked on the parchment, which immediately split into three copies and floated towards the three in turn.

“Here, this is a list of reference books, read as much as you can, but by Next Monday at the latest, you will have to hand me a paper on the history of the development of ancient magic runes.”

Felix looked at them with mischief in his heart, “No limit to the number of words, but the more, the better; no limit to the number of thesis topics, but the more, the better; no limit to the number of reference books, again, the more, the better.”

“You have one week.”

Three “the more, the better” left them a bit confused, but that is none of his business; he expected at least two sheets of parchment, not only with extracts but also with their own thoughts, and at least with the reference book list half-read.
