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

Draco Malfoy’s nose tip glistened with grainy sweats, his nostrils flared with excitement, his pale cheeks flushed slightly, he had never heard such an exciting speech before, Professor Hap’s speech was simply perfect. He looked like his ideal Slytherin – calm, dashing, and commanding.

Especially when he also used some kind of magic to make that brain-dead guy faint in front of the crowd!

Although after the funeral, he was called by Headmaster Dumbledore for a lecture …

Draco stood next to a white vertical flower tower, sneakily glancing at a secluded corner, where Dumbledore and Professor Hap standing, Dumbledore’s expression is one of seriousness, while Professor Hap explained something with a smile, only words he vaguely heard were “… recently mastered … just a lesson …”

On the other side the atmosphere is awkward for a handful of people; his own parents, Potter, Sirius Black, the pink-haired woman, Professor Lupin, Weasleys, and finally the family of Aunt Andromeda, who visited his house once before – most of these people are related to the Malfoys. He had long been accustomed to the various relatives who popped out of nowhere, but he never paid attention to them unless they were deliberately introduced by his father.

The only exception is Aunt Andromeda, the image of her arguing with his mother when he was a child left a deep impression on him, even after all these years, he still remembers her. Especially in Astronomy class, when the professor introduced Andromeda, he remembered that he had an aunt with the same name. She looked a lot like another aunt he had never met, and although his mother never mentioned her two sisters, he had seen pictures of them when they were young as he went through picture albums.

The three were well distinguished; the flamboyant, slightly mean-spirited older sister with her curly black hair; the second sister, Andromeda, with her fuzzy light brown hair and gentler eyebrows, and lastly the youngest, his mother, with her long blonde hair.

Draco looked up and down at the male wizard who stood next to Aunt Andromeda with a critical eye, this is the muggle wizard that his aunt chose? He didn’t look that great … blonde hair, a big belly, and nothing outstanding except for the soothing voice that is both calm and filled with gentleness.

“Draco, let’s go!” Narcissa shouted at him in exasperation, reunions after long periods were not always pleasant, and once again the two sisters broke up unhappily, leaving Draco to follow in a hurry as his family left.

Soon, Felix and Dumbledore also ended their conversation, and he came over with a relaxed expression as he approached the Weasleys, who had planned to leave the place with Ron and talked to them about the Weasley twins.

“I don’t know if they told you guys that I made a promise to show them something novel during the summer.”

Mrs. Weasley’s expression looked a little difficult, she had always been against the brothers engaging in making those mischievous items, but at this point, she didn’t know what to do, and it is difficult to find supporters among the members of the family, except Percy – only when she is angry, the whole family will support her unconditionally.

“Arthur–” she looked at her husband.

Mr. Weasley grimaced, “Oh, of course, of course, Fred and George brought it up when Molly tried to spank them – ahem! You know, the O.W.L’s exam results,” he stroked his somewhat shedding hair, “each received four certificates, which together don’t add up as much as their brothers … Can I ask what it’s all about?”

“It can be interpreted as a special social practice,” said Felix: “I want to show them the factories of Muggle society, machinery, ideas, and whatnot, as it happens, my new company also needs – ”

“Can I volunteer?” Mr. Weasley asked immediately, Mrs. Weasley elbowed him, and he glanced sheepishly at his wife, “Uh, I mean … makes a lot of sense, Molly, I must admit that it would be good for Fred and George.”

Mrs. Weasley puffed out her chest like a bullfrog, “Arthur, they still have two years to go before they graduate, if they start taking … it seriously from now on”

“Molly, you and I both know they’re not ambitious, we can’t make decisions for them.” Mr. Weasley insisted.

He gave his address, “Professor Hap, you’re always welcome.” Then he left with his family.

In the evening, the L.C.A. building.

In a temporarily compartmented office on the third floor, Felix met Severus Snape.

He sat in a swivel chair and turned around lightly, “So, the interview is tomorrow, and you’re not even prepared your own company yet?” Snape’s words dripped with obvious accusation.

“The place for the building has already been bought, along with the building materials. I’m planning to build a new one by myself.” Felix said with a sigh, “I’ve been so occupied reading books lately, it feels like walking into a treasure trove and picking up treasures as you bend down.”

“How can you receive the resumes then?”

“Of course, I asked them to send it to Andys at the L.C.A building in the recruitment advertisement, which in fact was received by Dobby, I found some time to look through them, I have some impressions of some people, it is easy to decide, and while the rest require hard work from you, Severus.”

Snape showed an unexpected expression, “You really want me to help you interview?”

“Oh, it’s me and you together.”

Felix pulled out a silver pocket watch from his chest pocket, then clicked the clasp to let the top cover pop open gently, and a Niffler poked her head out from inside, her pink nose twitched continuously.

“This is … a Niffler.”

“You can call her Valen.” Niffler crawled up to Felix’s shoulder along his arm and surveyed the surroundings sensitively. Then she took an Order of Merlin out of her pocket, hugged it, and held it tightly. Then she settled herself on Felix’s shoulder and entered a nice dream.

“Wizengamot will regret giving you the award when they see this scene.” Snape said.

“A true honour cannot be taken away.” Felix said with a smile.

The next morning, the two stood in a wide-open space in Diagon Alley, where the previous buildings had been bulldozed and replaced by large piles of stone and sand materials, a small cone-shaped sand dune alone is as tall as the second story building next to it.

“What are you going to do now?” Snape asked.

“Use magic to build the building.” Felix said as he stretched out his palm, thin golden lines appeared in his hand, weaving continuously, forming a somewhat illusory three-dimensional castle-like building, it is transparent, if you use a magnifying glass to see, you can even see the interior space divided into layers within, as well as the patterns carved on the massive support pillars; the spiral staircase connected everywhere, the main lobby went straight up through the center, if a person standing there, he can directly see the huge ice crystal-like chandelier hanging down from the very top.

Felix tossed the miniature building out of his hand, and it turned into a stream of light, landing in the center of the space, then swelling and growing rapidly, taking over the otherwise grimy, gray-brown ground and glowing with a bright magical glow.

People on the street stopped and gestured, and a young couple cast their astonished gaze upon it.

Felix waved his ebony wand, and the building materials piled on the ground melted like liquid, white marble, brown sand, gray pebbles … A vortex emerged above the ground, sucking it all in, and then the ground continued to churn, flooding with a huge, murky bubble.

“Reminds me of the scene of boiling potion.” Snape said, hiding the real emotions within.

As they watched, a building began to slowly grow upward.

The illusory three-dimensional image turned into reality, a variety of materials from the vortex-like a small snake poked its head out, and filled the illusory building that existed only in the imagination, layer by layer, from the very bottom of the foundation to extended upward, finally, a hundred-foot-tall vertical castle appeared, exactly the same as the miniature model held by Felix before.

From the bottom to the top, every line, every pattern closed together upward and inward, interlocked with each other, forming a combined flow, and finally gathered at the very top of the whole building, pointing straight to the sky, looking from afar, it looked like a sheathed blade, awe-inspiring.

A black stone monument emerged out of the ground, with a string of gold engraved letters – Future World.

“By the way, there’ also the seeds recommended by Professor Sprout.”

Felix said, carefully pulling two dark brown seeds out of his pocket and dropping them at the building’s entrance, where they quickly sprouted and grew under the magic, sprouting branches and twisting and knotting themselves to form an ancient, thick, green staircase that stretched down to their feet.

“Severus, allow me to solemnly present this to you.” Felix smiled and courteously extended his hand, “You are the first guest.”
