Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)-Chapter 102

Lockhart looked very nervous, delicate, flowing blonde hair glued tightly over his head.

“Oh, Professor Hap, I have a temporary matter, it’s about the new book … It’s urgent and must be dealt with immediately.”

“Yes? Oh, I don’t think you’ve linked the floo network in your office, need me to call Professor McGonagall, or … Dumbledore?”

Lockhart showed a bright smile, “If so, that’s really great, eh, Headmaster Dumbledore, what brings you here?”

A brilliant green light shot out from Lockhart’s hand, as fast as it could be, and just as Lockhart revealed a triumphant smile, his spell stopped in front of Felix.

An invisible barrier appeared in front of Felix, and the dazzling beam of light seemed to be intercepted in the air.

“Well, is this your strongest spell? Seriously, you’ve refreshed my perception of you, Professor Lockhart.” Felix remarked, with a special effort.

“Felix Hap! Let me go!”

“Sorry.”

“You knew all about it, don’t you, that Weasley snitch? Do you want justice? Come on, Felix Hap, I know from other people what you’ve been through, and you’re not a nosy one.”

“It’s true that I’m not interested in your business, but who let you jump under my nose?” Felix said that if Lockhart had been bouncing around outside Hogwarts, he really wouldn’t have got involved.

“Then let me get out of here! I swear I’ll never appear before you.”

“Let you leave? After knowing that you’re a master sneak attack who specializes in memory magic?” Felix shook his head.

The spells kept clashing, Felix increased the output of his magic power, and the originally invisible shield charm faintly surfaced with simple lines, and an armour outlined in the air out of thin air.

And the opposite side of the Lockhart, surprisingly, did not fall behind, exuding the aura of a mighty person. His magic spell is extremely powerful and is becoming stronger and stronger.

His spell illuminated the entire corridor, and the green aura reflected on Lockhart’s face, looking eerie and terrifying.

“Felix Hap, my magic is stronger than you can imagine, and I have received a hidden heritage! The current me is far from reaching my limit!”

In just this short minute, his magic spell had climbed rapidly from its initial state, even vaguely shadowing the powerful Disarming Spell that Felix had demonstrated in the second dueling class.

However, Felix surprisingly laughed, ” Lockhart, you are just strong at this one spell, which seems to be some kind of ancient magic, really enviable …”

“But I would say, Lockhart, you are not good at dueling.”

Felix’s other hand waved slightly, and the rubble at the corner shook and turned into big, greasy rats.

These rats made a ‘rustling’ sound and pounced towards Lockhart.

“What the hell! There are rats, lots of rats!”

Lockhart maintained the incantation while shaking his body, but it is futile. One of the rats bit him on the arm, and under the severe pain, his wand fell from his hand.

Under the horror of Lockhart and the bemused gaze of Felix, the wand fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and stood still.

Felix silently cast the Levitation Spell, grabbed Lockhart’s wand.

The corridor became dim again.

With his face ashen, Lockhart pleaded, “Felix, I have no choice … I can give you all the money I have.”

Felix sighed, “Headmaster, I’ll leave it to you.”

In Lockhart’s horrified expression, Dumbledore’s figure slowly appeared, half of his face hidden in the darkness, his eyes intertwined with emotions of anger and sadness.

“Dumbledore … Headmaster! I …”

“Lockhart, I watched you grow up.” f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Dumbledore said calmly, restraining his emotions as a red light flashed and Lockhart fainted.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor floated in midair, a golden thread wrapped around him.

As he was about to leave, Dumbledore said to Felix, “Thank you, Felix.”

“I didn’t do anything, with you watching, he can’t get away.”

All the portraits in the castle are the eyes of the Hogwarts Headmaster, coupled with Dumbledore’s own magical attainment, no one can escape from him easily.

Felix even felt that the old man is filled with so many secrets inside, but never spilled them.

This is also the reason why he did not use any powerful spell, if it is outside the school he meet him, he would absolutely clap Lockhart and search his mind.

“No, Felix, I want to thank you, you let me avoid dealing with my own student.”

Dumbledore left.

Felix stood in place, thinking for a moment, then he walked into Lockhart’s office.

…

During the day, the young wizards found that Lockhart did not come to class and could not help but murmur, and they soon found that the other professors were tongue-tied.

And so a rumour spread –

“It must be Fudge’s doing! I knew it, he wouldn’t let Lockhart off the hook.” Dean Thomas swore to the young Gryffindor wizard, as his audience looked at him half-heartedly.

“It’s true, Fudge has a very petty mind, I read about it in the newspapers.”

And later that evening, Felix announced the ”Teaching Aid Upgrade Program” had been a success, and everyone could retire to their respective houses.

In fact, everyone else’s detention was over, except for Ron.

Felix’s initial aim was actually to get Ron reasonably out of Lockhart’s grasp, except it developed to the point where the young wizard’s enthusiasm was just too high, and the situation was no longer under his control.

However, this was the first time Felix had seen the scene where the young wizards of the four houses were working on a common goal, so he let it happen and even participated in it by providing guidance.

Now that the danger is lifted and the upgrade program for the teaching aids has been advanced to the fourth version, it’s time to end it.

But what should be rewarded must be rewarded.

“In view of the fact that some of you, even after the end of your detention, have adhered to your duties and completed your tasks with excellence, each of you will receive a bonus point.”

Amidst a chorus of cheers, Ron timidly asked, “What about me, Professor Hap?”

“Weasley, your detention is too long for me to give you extra points, but, well …” Felix said, “I can suggest to Professor McGonagall to reduce your detention appropriately. ”

Ron left the office contentedly.

Felix’s mood is also very pleasant, all kinds of chores are sorted out, he also does not have to calculate this, calculate that.

That night, he watched two episodes of animation video happily.

The war between the clumsy cat and the clever mouse, simple and pure, does not contain any burden.

Felix went through his inventory, ‘Maybe I should buy some more?’ He went to sleep peacefully as he carried this thought on his head. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

At the Great Hall the next day, Snape blocked Felix.

“You’re asking me to help you get a position for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?” Felix asked in surprise.
