Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 90: Magic lesson
After changing the subject for the time being, Malfoy walked out of the auditorium. Pansy followed closely. Today’s first class is the ancient magic text class, which should be for the convenience of arrangement and coordination, similar The elective courses seemed to be in the same building, so they came to the North Tower again, but this time the number of floors was lower.
No accident happened along the way. After all, I have been there once before, but there are a few more portraits of horses jumping off and grazing leisurely on the grass. The fat jazz named Cadogan babbled something. If people don’t understand, they want to charge on a horse for a while, and recruit these students to be his followers. The short and chubby body with inexplicable words and actions is particularly ridiculous. This reminds Malfoy of the name Tang. Quixote's windmill rider.
They went up a few floors and saw a bright iron sign with strange patterns engraved on it. No, it should be text. Various types of text are constantly changing. Malfoy is powerful enough. His dynamic vision successfully captured the moment when the English characters flashed, and it said: The ancient magic text classroom is in the second classroom in the corridor on the right.
"It's really a special test." Malfoy thought to himself, those words hadn't been seen in his self-study of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts", and they should be advanced words.
Malfoy didn’t put too much thought on the ancient magic texts. Apart from being memorable, a certain degree of understanding, and a mature mentality far surpassing his peers, he didn’t have more talent for magic. Compared with the memory subjects in magic subjects such as potions and herbalism, Malfoy’s learning is generally cautious and careful. Without the guidance of professionals, he has no confidence in learning this difficult science. Go down.
So most of his previous self-study in ancient magic texts was just a taste.
The sign on the classroom has been around for some years. The magic nailed to the wall seems to have failed. A rusty iron sign hangs on the ground and hangs weakly in the air. As soon as the two of them stepped into the classroom, I heard the class bell ringing.
"It's a coincidence." Pansy patted her chest pretendingly in surprise. In fact, she is not afraid of being late.
"Who do you think is wasting time?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows.
"Alright, alright, I'll pay attention next time." Pansy stuck out his tongue playfully.
Then Malfoy found a place to sit down and looked around the classroom. In this large room that can accommodate at least a hundred people at the same time, there are only a few dozen students scattered in each seat, responsible for ancient times. The teacher of the Magic Course—Professor Bathsida Babling sat on the podium with a faint smile, not minding that there are only so many students in his course, maybe there are some surprises, there are so many students Willing to come to her class.
Bathsida Babling is a middle-aged witch, about fifty or sixty years old. Unlike the divination professor who looks a little flamboyant at first glance with jewelry, her dressing style is very simple, but The light yellow knit gown and light blue shawl set off her friendly temperament, and under the wrinkled eye sockets, the eyes are full of depth and wisdom.
"Very good, I am glad that you have the courage to choose this course. This may be the most esoteric course you have learned in Hogwarts. Of course, if you only deal with exams, it is also the most A simple course, you only need to memorize the knowledge in the book." The female professor's voice is gentle and magnetic, but not lacking in seriousness.
"Ancient magic text is a rather contradictory course," she said. "Even Professor Dumbledore cannot deny that the combat effectiveness of wizards in today's wizarding world has declined. This is the inevitability of the times and is inevitable for all wizards." Professor Babling sighed as he spoke. : "Because it's the age of standard spells." There was regret and luck in her tone.
"With the progress and development of the times, wizards gradually abandoned the ancient magic texts with great power but also significant shortcomings, and instead used standard spells, but they are all part of magic. The more we understand , It will also help us further understand magic."
"Even some of the current spells still have the shadow of ancient magic inscriptions, can that student say something?" Only one person in the classroom raised his hand.
"Well, Miss Hermione Granger, I think you can bring me a good answer." There are only a dozen elective courses for students, so she has enough patience to remember every classmate Her face, and this studious student had already heard of it, which made it easy for her to call out the girl's name.
Hermione stood up quickly, looking a little nervous. The position of this class in her heart was much higher than the so-called divination class. She had to leave a good impression on the teacher.
She tidyed up some messy hair, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "The most evil spell in the Unforgivable Curse—Avadaso Mantra has traces of some ancient magic texts. "Then he sat back in his chair.
Some of the other students showed a blank expression, some apparently had heard of this infamous spell, their expressions changed involuntarily, Pansy was one of them, her eyebrows were slightly raised and she couldn't accept herself. The course of study can actually be related to that kind of spell.
"Well, I actually set a trap for my question just now." Professor Babling laughed, her eyes narrowed, and she was obviously satisfied that the girl fell into her trap.
"But I still have to add ten points to Gryffindor, because you are not wrong." She added. "Please sit down."
Hermione sat down a little happily, not depressed by her mistakes, this is the real pleasure course for her, not the ones that are baseless, just relying on the "halo" to decide one Suddenly Hermione sat up straight again because she heard the female professor begin to explain the problem just now.
"It’s not so much the spells have the shadow of the ancient magic texts, but the spells are not borrowed from the ancient magic texts." She paused, looked around the classroom and continued: "In a sense In other words, the ancient magic text is the origin of all current spells, but the current spells have been improved countless ways, becoming stable and relatively efficient."
"Well, I seem to have introduced too much." Professor Babling patted his forehead a little annoyed, put his hands together, and said, "I will brag, your Professor Flitwick may I'm all dissatisfied." She joked, then tapped the teaching desk in front of her with her magic wand.
"Can any of you name a device in Hogwarts that uses ancient magic texts?" she asked.
"The ceiling in the auditorium." Malfoy stood up and replied. He would not think that the magic that can see the starry sky outside the window was specially maintained by a teacher. The only answer should be the ancient magic text. He wanted to follow With the standards of the Big Four, making such a situation is also a normal handwriting.
"Eyes are like torches." The female professor gave Malfoy an appreciative look. "Mr. Malfoy must have previewed, so what magic text is used on it?"
"Cure, transparent, perceive." Malfoy thought for a moment, and he muttered. Needless to say, the perceptual and transparent ancient magic text acts as a photoresistor on the ceiling, when night falls. At that time, you can keenly perceive the change of the external light source, and then it becomes transparent.
He has reason to believe that technology and magic are just means. If possible, under infinite development, maybe the two systems can finally get a unified explanation.
"Oh, perfect answer, Slytherin added twenty points because of you." Professor Babling began to applaud spontaneously for this wonderful answer.
Hermione heard the familiar male voice, looked back abruptly, and immediately turned her head back.
"That's right, it's normal for him to take this course." Hermione thought to her heart that she felt that he would certainly not be interested in those illusory futures. This was her instinct.
"Should I go to thank Ron and thank him?" Hermione began to think, because Ron's character would never go to apologize to Malfoy, and Harry would do the same. She should be the only one responsible for this. At least the second-year secret room said she saved Malfoy by herself. Presumably he wouldn’t say anything against herself, but she couldn’t help but think of Malfoy when she had breakfast in the auditorium just now. Those bad words~IndoMTL.com~ Oh, help him, be affectionate? I just wanted to humiliate him. By the way, you ran over by yourself to thank him for me. I'm afraid that guy won't accept your love. "Hermione could guess that Malfoy would say these things, maybe even more vicious things.
"No, no matter what he thinks, whether he is insulting or really wanting to help, it is a fact that he helped Ron. I should still thank him." Hermione unconsciously squeezed the white feather pen in her hand. Ready to be stabbed by cold words.
She could even foresee that Ron and Harry wouldn’t look good at her if they knew about it. She also remembered that the crack in the relationship between herself and Malfoy was also due to her cleverness and didn’t worry about his feelings. , Ran to ask the origin of the Philosopher’s Stone.
But there are some things that must be done, and you can't retreat because of the criticism and boredom of your friends.
This is her own insistence, one of Gryffindor.
This may not make her popular, but she will not regret it either.
"The origin of the ancient magic text comes from magical creatures..." The kind and magnetic female voice rang. After a series of guidance, Professor Babling started her topic today, just like many hemp Like the foreign language department in Gua University, it is similar to a foreign language subject for students. In the first class, many professors did not teach "you, me and him", but chose to teach the numbers. Of course, is there any "in ancient magic writing" We have no way of knowing the pronouns like you, me and him.
Inventions and creations in ancient times, human beings or intelligent creatures may not have the concept of "referential" in their minds.
Anyway, the teacher started to teach, and Hermione forced her mind to return to the state it was in when she was studying, got rid of those distracting thoughts, and listened to the class earnestly.
