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

The first week of the new school year was a busy one for Felix.

With the first dueling class approaching, he had to quickly decide which professor would be the third member for teaching. In private, he asked Flitwick and Professor McGonagall separately for their opinions.

Professor McGonagall politely declined, reasoning that she also has a Deputy headmistress position and there are many chores in the school that she needs to worry about.

“I’d be happy to attend once or twice if it’s an occasional visit.” She said to Felix.

On the other hand, it went very well as soon as he mentioned it, Flitwick accepted the invitation with enthusiasm as if he had been waiting for this day.

From a neutral point of view, Felix also recognized Flitwick as the most suitable candidate for the job of teaching.

As the head of the dueling class, he had to consider both the difficulty and the learnability of the spells he would be teaching, since he would be dealing with students from all seven years of the school.

And as an experienced professor of charms class, Flitwick has undoubtedly mastered numerous techniques to simplify the difficulties in teaching spells.

In contrast, Transfiguration has a higher threshold – it is not an easy feat for a wizard to use it flexibly in a duel, and it very much tests a wizard’s ability to cast spells silently and quickly as well as creatively in dueling.

Hogwarts’ senior students will find it difficult to perform a full-fledged creature transfiguration without a sound, let alone in a combat situation.

” Transfiguration is an arena where genius reigns, and it represents the boundaries of magic.” These were the words written in a grimoire by a dueling master specializing in Transfiguration, and Felix partially agreed with him.

Ravenclaw Head’s office.

After settling the issue of invitation, Felix and Flitwick spent almost a day together discussing the improvement for the “Zooming Charm”.

“The Zooming Charm doesn’t work well on magical creatures, but of course, it could be because the only creature currently tested is the Flobberworm, which is not representative.” Felix took out a stack of test data from his ring and handed it to Flitwick.

Flobberworm is a ten-inch-long worm, generally appearing brownish, preferring to stay in a humid environment, and they can be seen in the shadowy shade of the forbidden forest.

Although the Flobberworm’s mucus can thicken potions, they are not valued because they are too common to be found with every cat and beaver. They are one of the food sources for other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest and are located at the bottom of the entire biological chain.

So Felix did not have any psychological burden to do the test with Flobberworm, without worrying about legal issues. But the results are often not fabulous. The already ugly worm has pus growing on it, which looks very daunting.

And crucially, he could never find out what the problem is.

Sitting in a chair with blue cushioned seats, his feet dangling in the air, Flitwick pondered over the data, “Could it be related to an imbalance in magic?”

“Imbalance?” Felix inquired.

“That’s right, I’ve recently re-examined the spell. The Zooming Charm was originally patched by me with reference to modern magic theory, and it can be said that it is considered a combined spell. Therefore, there might be a magic discontinuity at the joint.”

Felix thought for a while and said, “I also considered this problem, but during the spell casting process, I didn’t feel anything different and there was no half-hearted sense of stagnation.”

“We can try it!” Flitwick jumped down from the chair, “One person is responsible for a portion of the work, you cast the spell, I will sense it.”

Felix understood what he meant: “You want to amplify your senses with the help of other magic to feel the formation and flow of the spell? It’s indeed worth a try, I alone can’t do that.”

Flitwick smiled, “Isn’t that what cooperation is all about?”

Pointing his wand at himself, he whispered, “supersensorium … aures et oculos … magicae manifestationis … vox vespertilio …” A magical light flashed over Flitwick’s body. ( there’s no incantation, or it’s a made-up spell, so it’s a direct Latin translation)

Felix watched the scene with admiration, few people could do this, solving the issue of multiple spells affecting each other alone would be difficult for ninety-nine percent of wizards.

Soon, Professor Flitwick finished his task, his appearance became strange, his ears turned into long, copper-colored bugles, his eyes were gray and hazy, and his goblin-like face flashed with different colours of light, looking like colourful light bulbs.

Flitwick’s face is grotesque, as he struggled to maintain the effect of the spell, he squeezed a few words out of his teeth: “Hurry up … won’t last long …”

Felix’s expression is solemn, he deliberately mobilized his magic, making them more active, the light blue light constantly converge, and then burst out a dazzling beam of light.

His spell hit a quill pen, which emitted a “crackling” sound, quickly expanding and growing from the size of a dagger to a somewhat curved spear in the blink of an eye, and it continued to grow.

When the quill stretched to half an office, it finally could not withstand Felix’s magic and exploded with a bang, a huge shock wave spread out.

The whole office is a mess, like a gale passing through.

Felix covered himself with a Shield Charm, so he only took two steps back, but Flitwick needs to sustain sensory spells he can’t cast other protective spell, so he directly flipped off, and his small figure flipped in the air, he quickly pointed his wand on himself, and then slowly floated down.

Flitwick said, “Felix, your magic is so strong that it has completely changed the structure of the quill.”

When he calmed down, he cautioned, “Before this magic is completely perfected, don’t use it on people.”

Felix nodded, “I was thinking the same thing. Filius, did you discover anything just now?”

“Gee, that’s amazing … I did find something interesting.” Flitwick waved his wand and let the furnishings in the room return to their original state, then he shook his wand and flung out a bronze-colored smoke.

The smoke morphed and manifested a phantom of a wizard in the middle as he cast a spell, which Felix recognized as the scene of his own spell casting.

“Here, here, and here, there is an extremely subtle imbalance in these three locations.” Flitwick illustrated what he saw with the help of a figure condensed from smoke.

Felix stared at the image and whispered, “I can’t believe I didn’t notice it a bit before.”

Flitwick laughed brightly, “It’s really hard to find out it when researching alone, but in any case, we have a new way to think.”

Felix went to the Potions Professor’s office to discuss the content for the new academic year with Snape and told him about the invitation to Flitwick.

Snape looked at him suspiciously, “I thought you would invite that Lupin.”

Felix stared at him without saying anything, what is the reason you do not know?

It may be that his eyes were too straightforward, which looked a little annoying to Snape. “I have things to do, if you don’t mind, Felix …”

…

In the evening, Felix organized the Magic Rune’s Club material in his office, until Hermione knocked on the door to receive the training in magic, when he realized that he had missed his supper.
