Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) Chapter 89

Felix stayed at Snape’s office until the end of the first class in the afternoon, and then left in a hurry to go to the class for the seventh-year wizards.

He stood at the podium and looked at the junior wizards of the Grade below him.

There were less than twenty combined, “Tsk! There are really too few.”

At the beginning of the school year, Felix had communicated with Professor McGonagall that he could “appropriately” ease the students’ grades and let so little wizards with A grades enter his improvent class.

He did so with the idea that “one more is one more”, and that he might be able to use his strong charisma to fool an additional young wizard into joining the family of ancient runes research.

But before his arrival, the course had been lukewarm and the response rather lacklustre. Except for those wizards who were interested in studying ancient languages, or who wanted to join the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic’s senior citizen departnt, there were very few other interested parties.

So his seventh-grade classroom is either a school tyrant, those who have chosen it by mistake, who try to choose as many as possible, or an Academic scum For example, Marcus Flint, is a typical representative of the academic dregs, after entering the seventh grade, he selected a total of two courses – Care of Magical Creatures class and ancient runes class.

For him, it’s Felix who gave a word to join, otherwise, he would simply have taken a single class.

As far as Felix knew, the seventh grade Care of Magical Creatures class would add a great deal of knowledge about raising and breeding rare magical creatures, requiring a lot of information to be consulted and morized. With Marcus Flint’s troll-like brain, Felix really didn’t know how he would pass.

On the podium, Felix waved his wand, causing a dozen of parchnts to fly in all directions and land in front of the corresponding young wizard.

He comnted, “In general, your grades are still steadily improving. However, I must remind you that according to the previous NEWTs assessnt standards, you must translate a complete ancient rune docunt.”

“This ans that during your exams, there may be ancient runes that are quite out of the box, and you won’t be able to find the corresponding knowledge even after going through five years of ancient runes textbooks.”

“Professor, then, how should we respond?” A Ravenclaw witch asked, wearing a pair of extrely recognizable, thick glasses.

“Miss Vera, it cos into a bit of exam technique, such as speculating the aning of words.”

“Speculating the aning of words?” Vera asked, pushing up her glasses in disbelief.

“In the sixth and seventh-grade Ancient Runes textbook, a considerable amount of space is devoted to the evolution of Ancient runes, such as Eoh, which has gone through seven versions, each with slightly different anings and writing styles.”

“But actually, once you sort out the logic of its evolution, you’ll find that its core aning has never really changed.”

Vera nodded, this knowledge is obvious to her.

And Professor Hap continued, “Therefore, as long as you know one of the versions of the ancient rune, you can make reasonable speculations based on its core aning in context.”

“Even for those runes that you have never co across, you can make reasonable speculations based on word patterns. This requires the use of the more common 27 evolved forms …”

“Of course, runes with magic power are not in this range and need to be morized separately, but there are not that many, actually.”

Next to her, Marcus looked desperate, what are you talking about?

Why does every word I can understand, but together it’s like a heavenly text?

“I get it, Professor Hap,” Vera said excitedly.

In this class, she is the only one who has a true love for ancient runes and is determined to follow this path, except that her research direction is docunt translation.

This is actually influenced by her family – her grandfather is a vice president of the Ancient Runes Society.

When she returned ho for Christmas break and said that the new professor of Ancient Runes at Hogwarts is Felix Hap, the look on her grandfather’s face was amusing.

He scolded Felix for being ” a heretic and going astray”, but on the other hand, he shyly admitted that “he does have real skills, you can barely learn from him”, which made her ntally put Professor Hap on the sa level as her grandfather.

“Let’s move on–” After settling the daily questions, Felix’s eyes fell on Marcus: “Flint, your grades are always hovering up and down around A (passing), I’m worried about you. ”

Marcus cried, he had really put a lot of effort into Ancient Runes, even when he was training on the Quidditch pitch, he kept an Ancient Runes textbook in his book bag – although he had only opened it once in total.

But at least the attitude is there, he hasn’t been this dedicated to his other classes. But unfortunately, he really is not that kind of material. Marcus had a mind to quit, but he shivered at the sight of Felix and simply couldn’t muster the courage.

“Teach, professor, I will try,” Marcus said tremblingly.

“Very well, if you have any problems, just find .”

Felix started the formal class, in this modest classroom, the academic tyrant and academic scum are clearly separated. The more the academic tyrant listens, the more the dregs beco confused, and Marcus is the latter – he is a dreg, but he is bracing himself to show the appearance of the academic tyrant’s spirit.

A lesson passed in a jiffy.

Felix left with a stack of parchnts, and in his hand were the assignnts of the seventh graders.

Today, he received a total of three grades worth of holiday assignnts. Felix is ready to make full use of his assistant’s motivation to learn, so that she can make the most of her talents, by handing over all the assignnts of the third and fourth grades to her.

In the evening, Felix looked idly at Professor Flitwick’s Christmas gift, a manuscript of ancient magic.

There were two kinds of writing on the parchnt, one of which is an extrely old and ancient Rune language, and the other is Professor Flitwick’s additions and annotations, containing his thoughts on the study of this magic.

It’s very enlightening.

The only thing is that according to Professor Flitwick, he has no special talent in ancient runes, so this fragnted ancient magic was researched by him in collaboration with the forr professor of ancient runes – Babbling, and when Professor Babbling left Hogwarts for holiday, the research ca to a standstill.

The manuscript was given to Felix with the intention of collaborative research.

Felix waved his wand, a hazy light blue light like a river of stars, cut through the air and fell on a quill.

The brown quill first turned into a toothpick, and then quickly expanded to the size of a cane. As Felix kept injecting magic power, the quill kept growing to about seven feet, and it stopped dead in its tracks.

“Well, looking at the effect is similar to combining two magic spells, the Shrinking Charm and the Engorgent Charm, together, yet in essence, it doesn’t have the high consumption, danger, and intensity of ancient magic.”

“Instead, it’s more like modern simplified magic, with a limit to its power and magic consumption.”

“Is it because the part that complents it is the idea of simplified magic?”

Felix wrote and drew on the parchnt, preparing for a prolonged battle, recovering ancient magic is not an easy task.

‘I wish I had a teacher.’ Before going to sleep, he thought with so emotion.
