A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 51: Persuasion and Research


"The prejudice of the human heart is a mountain, Harry."

……

When Harry walked out of the ancient rune office in a daze, what Professor Haip said to him was still echoing in his heart.

Two hours ago, he tried to dispel the professor's "terrible" thoughts, but two hours later, he was already holding a magic scroll and began to think about how to use the evil language "Parseltongue" translate it.

He even thought that he was benefiting the entire wizarding world.

"Harry, I think Professor Haip's point of view is good. A person's talent is not important, what matters is what kind of person he chooses to be!" As a person who listened to the entire conversation, Ron quoted A word from Professor Hepp.

"What's more-Professor Haip's gift is also very generous." Ron added, he looked at a magic puppet in Harry's hand with envious eyes, it was a magic puppet with ice blue hair puppet.

This is also the price that Professor Haipu paid in the whole transaction - one of the most advanced magic puppets in his private collection, according to Professor Haipu, this puppet can "easily defeat a seventh grade graduate".

Harry's memory went back to two hours ago...

"Harry, we always easily label others and unfamiliar things, but as long as you understand a little bit, you will find that this approach is quite one-sided. For example, Principal Armando Dippet, he I have done a lot of practical things in office, but what people can remember are just absurd rumors, which have been distorted by those who want to..."

Professor Haip put on the table "Amando Dippet: Big Sea or Idiot?" " Summoned over, the book turned to the middle page with a "crash", allowing the three of them to see the contents above.

"Headmaster Dippet improved the school rules of Hogwarts and abolished most of the corporal punishment... At the same time, he also rejected the Dark Lord's job application and saved Hogwarts students from his influence— — This is the opinion of ordinary people, but is it really the case? With the idea of ​​exploring the truth, the author sees a completely different logic from it. It is a dusty history that has been covered up, full of political filth..."

Felix said calmly: "This book is full of lies and twisted facts, and it has been on the bestseller list for a long time."

Harry was full of disgust for this woman named "Rita Skeeter", and at the same time felt the same for what happened to Principal Dippet-they were all misunderstood, but he was because of Parseltongue.

Out of a feeling of common hatred, he quickly agreed to Professor Haipu's proposal. So Professor Haipu threw him a dictionary and asked him to translate it.

Ron and Hermione watched curiously. After the initial shock, they developed a strong interest in the matter itself. In Ron's words, "This is the process of revealing the secrets of Parseltongue. Witness history!"

But this process was not easy. Harry turned to the first page of the dictionary, held back for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

"Professor, I can't do it."

Felix thought for a while, "Your Parseltongue is not proficient, maybe it lacks direct stimulation." He waved his wand and cast a detection-feedback magic on the magic dictionary.

The effect is that when someone is reading the book, they feel like they are facing the face of a snake.

Now Harry quickly entered the state. After skipping the first and second useless words, he made a hoarse and gloomy voice, which startled Ron and Hermione next to him.

"This voice is too evil." Ron shuddered, his whole body was cold.

"This is serious magic research, Ron." Hermione was also frightened.

"Which word is it?" Felix asked.

Harry pointed to the third word in the dictionary, "It's this, [stay away]."

"How many sounds can you make on this page?"

Harry tried again, moving his fingers across the dictionary, allowing the other three to gauge his progress.

But then, Harry either held his face and couldn't speak, or normal English words popped out of his mouth. Ron reminded him more than once, "Harry, you speak human language", "Harry, we can understand".

Until the last word on the page, Harry finally said it in Parseltongue, "The word is [eat]," he said excitedly, "I'm familiar with this word, I heard it on Halloween. "

Felix rested his chin on his finger, "That is to say, one page, to be precise, has 23 words on the left and right pages, and only two of them can be converted into snake language."

"Professor, what does this mean?" Harry asked.

"Ah, the language of animals is always not as rich as that of humans, and it is still very vague. For example, for the concept of 'eat', we have more than a dozen words with similar meanings, which is very rare in the languages ​​of other intelligent creatures .”

Felix thought for a while, "Let's pause first, I need to make some changes to the dictionary."

The three of them followed Professor Haipu to the workbench. It was a very large "concave" table with a smooth wooden texture and waxed surface.

From Harry's point of view, Professor Haip tapped on the dictionary with his wand, and the tip of the wand emitted lights of various colors. The professor was sometimes silent, and sometimes muttered words. It took ten minutes before he stopped down.

"Professor?" Harry just wanted to ask him what he did, and then he opened his mouth wide.

The words in the dictionary suddenly "live".

It is completely literal, the surface of the light yellow book page has ripples like water, and the title words of each entry begin to twist, as if they have hands and feet. Then they struggled to break free from the dictionary and appeared in the three-dimensional world.

Then the pages of the dictionary clattered, and the "title words" were thrown out one by one. They fell on the surface of the workbench, and the black hollow lines wobbled and bounced. In less than a minute, the number reached several thousand.

This scene was extremely shocking, and the two-dimensional things suddenly came to the real world.

"Professor, am I dreaming?" Harry asked innocently.

"It's magic," Felix said quietly.

Hermione's eyes burst out with a strong brilliance, this is magic... She always believed that magic is something concrete, such as spells, potions, or moving portraits, but Professor Happe told her with practical actions , magic can do far more than that.

Magic is the unknown, the possibilities.

Felix glanced at the army of "words" in front of him~IndoMTL.com~with satisfaction. They were temporarily activated. A piece of parchment flew out.

Felix raised his wand aloft and drew a circle, connecting them end to end, and the parchments were magically glued together.

Afterwards, Felix's wand hit the table, and the army of "words" on the workbench melted into the parchment, and words emerged one by one on it, and they were arranged in an orderly manner.

When it was all over, the long parchment, or parchment, rolled itself up and became a magic scroll.

"Slap!"

It lands on the workbench.

"Here, Harry, fortunately I know a lot of unpopular magic." Felix smiled.

"How do I use this, Professor?"

"It can store your snake language pronunciation - of course, you need to click the corresponding content with the wand before using it. Moreover, I have also eliminated some English words. You know, there are tens of thousands of words in the dictionary. But many things are useless at all.”

So in the remaining time, Harry spread out the scroll and translated word by word-this time the translation progress was much faster.

Throughout the office, a hoarse and gloomy voice can be heard every few tens of seconds.

And Ron and Hermione went from the initial discomfort, to getting used to it, to numbness, in less than an hour.

At nine o'clock, Professor Haipu sent the three of them out, "Harry, you can usually find a place where no one is around to record, and if you encounter any problems, just come to me."

Then he said to Hermione, "Tomorrow's rune study is temporarily canceled, I have something to deal with temporarily."

"I'm going to meet someone," said the professor.
