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

Chapter 443 - The Book of Runes



These are a combination of undeveloped runic circuits or runic sequences.

He randomly grabbed the runes drawn from the book, which were just shadows of gray, but when Felix injected his own magic power, it became completely different, no different from when he would outline the rune in the air.

Felix\'s mind wandered as he refocused his attention on the Book of Runes, and with his thoughts, a complete sequence of runes jumped out from the Book of Runes, and as his magic wrapped around it, it immediately turned into a soft, milky white ball of light.

Illumination.

Felix kept trying as if he had found a new toy, and the Book of Runes seemed to be programmed to arrange the runic sequence as he wished to assemble it.

At that moment, a thought came to his mind, tickling his heart.

He glanced out of the window, it had already gotten dark by now, but it is totally worth a try. He stepped out of his office and out of the castle, his silver cloak splashed down a stream of light as he glided silently through the grounds, and soon he appeared in a clearing in the Forbidden Forest.

The forbidden forest at night is pitch-black, except for the sound of the blowing breeze, it is quiet. And it is in this silence, from time to time, there will be one or two eerie sounds heard, apparently, a sound made by living creatures.

Felix slightly waved his hand, and the book of runes appeared, floating in front of his body.

His finger tapped on it, and a whisper came out of his mouth: "Black Lightning ... can be launched first; well, let\'s start with two." As soon as the words left his mouth, two illusory shadows flew out from the Book of Runes and hovered in front of him.

Felix stared at them for a moment and continued, "Golden flames aren\'t bad either." Another illusory shadow flew out, and like the black lightning, it shifted between the runic sequence and concrete illusory magic image.

"A little light is better."

"And a little protection."

"What about visual disruption?"

Felix draped in his silver cloak named a dozen of satisfying names in one breath as if he were ordering in a restaurant, and by the time he closed the book, there are a dozen more blurred shadows in front of him. In the late cold night, it looked like he was surrounded by a dozen will o\' the wisp of different colours.

"This state is really marvellous ... obviously just illusory runes, but in a moment it can become real and rain down bolts of thunder." Felix murmured, he could not help but stretch out his hand and pour magic power towards the two dark shadows.

The blurry shadows quickly turned from virtual to real, condensing into two black lightning, "crackling" exploding in the surrounding air, when Felix tried to control it, the black lightning immediately became docile, like flowing water.

"So, the limit depends on how many spells I can control?" Felix mused, waving his hand to disperse the magic. He almost got some idea, and the various tactics could be refined accordingly, except-

"What\'s going on here?" Felix frowned and stared at his hand. His index finger is fused with ancient runes that are shining brightly a bit ...

He repeatedly confirmed twice that the runes weren\'t burrowing into his nail cap, but into his skin, as if the skin on his finger had undergone a unique mutation and could absorb the runes.

He stood in the cold wind, thinking cautiously as if he had become one with the surrounding environment.

Half an hour later, he let out a long breath, his brow furrowed deeper, he had repeatedly confirmed that only a small piece of skin on his right index finger changed like this, completely invisible on the outside, but Felix knew there is a difference.

He could only think of one similar example - Dumbledore had shown him a demonstration of flicking off a spell with his bare hands. It was akin to what Lady Ravenclaw had told him about "magical creatures".

"Am I getting close to that state?" Felix thought in amazement, "Close to the four founders of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, and all those people?" He could not accurately distinguish who was stronger and who was weaker, after all, they were too far apart from each other, but one thing is certain, these people\'s understanding of magic is certainly above his.

Is the change brought by the Book of Runes? Felix couldn\'t help but guess, he had chosen the Runes as his path and stepping stone to realize magic, and in his office at Hogwarts Castle, he was once confused when he first saw the manuscript of Salazar Slytherin, yet he strengthened his confidence; later on, he even perfected the Book of Runes by chance.

Is this an indication that he has gone far enough on this path?

"A sign of a Metamorphosis?"

Felix believed that this is a manifestation of his own increased affinity for Runes, and probably various resistances based on it will also increase accordingly, only he didn\'t know how far this change would eventually reach, and how long the whole process would last.

"Magical creature? Or Rune Being?"

Felix pondered the difference between these two terms and smiled slightly, the many phantoms behind him disappeared in unison, he is looking forward to the arrival of that day.

The next day is the weekend, and the young wizards have not yet gotten over yesterday\'s match, and the topic of discussion cannot be separated from those wonderful performances. Harry and the group had planned to spend the weekend catching up on their homework or figuring out what the third task would be (Hermione\'s idea), but there were so many people in the common room, and they were enthusiastic enough that they would occasionally walk by where they were sitting in the corner, and tap them on the shoulder to say, "Good job!"

Or suddenly sit next to them and ask them for more details with a look of awe.

"Can you hear sound in the black lake?"

"I can hear a little." Harry mumbled.

"Didn\'t your hand hurt when you smashed the salmon with your fist?"

"It\'s protected by magic." Hermione said dully.

As the morning passed, Harry finally couldn\'t resist giving Ron and Hermione a wink as they catwalked out of the common room and ran to an abandoned classroom, a place they frequented to practice magic as well as the place for dueling study group.

"Actually, I wouldn\'t mind talking about it, but they know more about what I did than I do about it." Ron said with a torn expression. He felt that one of the downsides of the projection screen is that it took away his ability to flex his muscles.

Think about it, when he described in graphic detail to the onlookers how scary the big squid was, "It\'s a lot bigger than me!" Immediately, someone next to him said the wand used as a spear was too weird.

Or when he tried to make a joke - "Guess what I saw?" A serious answer appeared, "A Merpeople Village." Others said "red hair" or "the shroud of the bubble-head charm", and finally the audience left him the main character behind, and argued among themselves which answer is more accurate ...

Ron yawned, tears coming out of his eyes, "Ah - maybe I should go back and catch up on my sleep, I slept too late last night."

"I want to see Hagrid." Harry said.

"Then I\'ll meet you in the library, it\'s definitely less crowded today." Hermione said conclusively.

Hermione ran off to the library alone. Her two roommates last night asked her about the magic that could "knock out a salmon with one punch", she rolled her eyes as she took out a rune card and handed it to them.

Parvati and Lavender stared in amazement at the card, which illustrated a Wild OX Rune.

"Could Hermione\'s temper have been related to this ...," Lavender whispered.

Parvati tugged on her sleeve and passed her a look, and the two looked over as Hermione was sticking a furry head out of the bedsheet and looked at them with annoyance.

Lavender immediately smiled and offered, "How about ... I lend you that book for two more days?"
