Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL)-Chapter 18

The young wizards were excited to hear Felix’s words, their curiosity already piqued.

Even the professors in the room were curious.

Professor Snape is standing in the corner, wondering what this boy had come up with that he dared to pry into his lecture!

Professor Flitwick is very excited, he really loves magic spells, but he hadn’t studied much about ancient magic. As for Felix’s views on ancient magic, he agreed, as he himself had a few powerful ancient spells, but he rarely used them.

Lockhart was envious of Felix standing in the middle of the Hall. If he could hold a public class himself, he would get plenty of attention, right?

What if he wrote about it in his new book …

But what was he supposed to do, put on a stage show?

As everyone in the room is having different thoughts, Felix simply waved his wand and all the candles in the great hall were instantly extinguished and the sky above the ceiling is completely darkened.

The entire great hall is plunged into darkness.

“Lumos.” Felix’s voice sounded clear to everyone in the room, calming the restless young wizard. “This is a common spell that serves to illuminate the surrounding area – it is so simple that even young wizards who are not enrolled at school can master it through self-learning.”

By the glow of the Lumos spell, Felix’s figure is faintly visible to the crowd.

“Once you have fully mastered this spell, you can make some alterations to it -”

“Like amplifying the glow,” Felix said, as the glow from the tip of his wand spread across the platform.

“Change the colour,” the mass of light kept switching from white to red, green, yellow, and cyan …

“Or, can just toss it away.” Felix waved his wand and the ball of light flew far from its tip, arcing in midair.

The great hall is plunged into darkness once more, “And its counterpart, the ancient magic-”

The next moment, a huge amount of light blossomed from the centre of the platform, a milky white glow enveloped the entire great hall, the strangest thing was that the light seemed to spread in all directions, there was not even a single shadow in sight.

“This is another version of Lumos spell,” Felix whispered. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Every young wizard in the audience burst into applause.

Felix smiled, “This is just a simple example, but we can still see the difference.” He waved his wand again, the candles relit, and the ceiling returned to its original state.

“In modern magic, there are boundaries in power and intensity, albeit fluctuating within a certain range – but we can still clearly perceive the limit.”

” Ancient magic, on the other hand, is different; it is simple, brutal and its power often depends on the size of your magic.”

“For example, if I wanted to, I could light up all of Hogwarts with this magic.”

A student in the crowd shouted, “Professor, I want to learn that!”

Felix inexplicably wanted to laugh, and in a tone of amusement, he couldn’t help but say, “Give it up, if you learn this magic, it will drain you of all your strength at the first opportunity.”

“Does anyone remember what I just said? Ancient magic is known for being powerful and difficult to tame, and I think most of you only remember the first half of it.”

“But the second half, that’s the point!”

There is a lot of chatter from the students below the stage, their faces intensely excited, as if they were going to learn the powerful ancient magic themselves the next moment.

But unfortunately, all the books on ancient magic were in the Forbidden section.

A strange light flashed across Ron’s face, “I’m going to learn this, I’m going to learn this magic! It’s so cool!”

Harry is also fascinated by the power of a simple flash of Lumos spell when replaced with ancient magic. Would Hermione’s Full Body-Bind Curse, for example, be able to completely petrify a person and turn them into a piece of stone?

Snape wore the same expression, but this kind of power …

So, Dumbledore and the Dark Lord have mastered some powerful ancient magic?

Felix waved his wand and a red spark shot out from the tip, redirecting the students’ attention.

“We will now move on to the next demonstration, which is the focus of this open class and, of course, the test for this year’s Ancient Rune course -”

“One.”

The students’ hearts, which had somewhat subsided, stirred again.

What kind of open-book examination is this?

At that moment, Felix came down from the stage, “Accio suitcase!” With his spell, a suitcase flew over quickly, and landed on the ground, then popped open with a bang, and a dozen or so figures flew out of it, landing on the stage and standing still.

It was only then that the crowd realized that the figures on the platform were half a foot tall (about 15 cm). These figures were different in appearance, male, female, old, and child, but each one was very distinctive.

“This is … Hey! I’ve played this game before!” Muggle-born wizard Justin suddenly shouted, his face flushed red, not expecting to see a figurine at Hogwarts, and one that could move!

Harry also seemed vaguely familiar with it, as his cousin Dudley mentioned it before.

“What’s this?” Ron asked, as a pureblood, he had no idea what this is. It’s just a toy that moves, what’s so surprising about it?

“It’s a character from a fighting game in the Muggle world.” Harry searched his brain for more information, but he had never played it, either.

“A fighting game?” It is clear that Ron is more interested in the term.

Felix smiled and said, “It seems some of you have recognized that these figures are indeed inspired by a muggle game in appearance, but that is not our focus today.”

Felix waved his wand and two of the dolls on the platform leaped up and stood in the middle of the platform, while the others retreated to the edge.

“Does anyone know their names?”

” Fireman and Icewoman!” Justin shouted, this is his domain!

Felix continued, “And do you know their powers?”

“Fire and Ice!” Justin answered again, for the first time so aggressively.

Felix repeated, “Fire and Ice … then!” He waved his wand again.

And all at once, the figure on the platform moved, the fingers of the fireman’s right hand burst into a bright yellow flame, and with a mighty swing, the flame swelled to the size of a ghostly flying ball and flew far away … half a meter before exploding with a bang.

The young wizard who is close by could not help but take two steps back, and only when he saw that the flames did not fly off the platform did he feel relieved, and then stared at the dolls with a fiery look in his eyes.

I want to play with it, I want this too.

On the other side, the Ice Woman kicked out with a powerful and graceful gesture, sending a line of ice-blue icicles into the air, causing some young witches’ eyes to sparkle.

Aaaaaahhhh so cute!!! I want to hold it in my hands.

Felix smiled in control – “Now we need to get back to the game.

“Next, we need a fight!”
