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

Chapter 336



The next morning, Felix entered the pyramid with Niffler, who had very little spirit, to re-examine the interior of the dark room according to the remaining traces of magic, and he was accompanied by the goblin Gonuk, Felix satisfied to see that he did not mention the theft of the gems, so he patted the Niffler Valen on her shoulder.

It seemed his education proved useful, as she did not keep a gem or two for herself, but there would be no relaxing time for the rest of the holiday. Whether it is Quidditch World Cup Magic Light Show or a visit to Beauxbatons before heading back to Hogwarts, these are all risky places.

Clammy dragged Hermione on a tour around Cairo downtown, “I’ll take you to see the old museum, there are quite a few things made by wizards, but the locals don’t know …”

Hermione is very interested in this, “I read about this museum in the book, there should be an obelisk somewhere right?”

“What’s that?”

“A pointed square pillar, a monument to the sun god built by the ancient Egyptians, I’ve seen it in France and London, but Egypt is the birthplace of the obelisk, it should be different.”

Clammy thought for a moment, “I don’t know much about it, I can ask about it for you.”

They had two days of intense fun. During the day they strolled around various attractions, as Clammy was familiar with the magic stops within Cairo, while Hermione looked at a load of important locations from the books, so they both took turns choosing the locations and had a great time.

By evening, Hermione followed Felix to learn golden flame magic, and Felix told her, “You have enough self-control to try arranging the magic sequence in private, but you must wait till this school year to formally cast the spell.”

On the third day, they returned to Diagon Alley in London, and Clammy Vera followed them, her reason being that she didn’t want to be alone with that money-grubbing Gonuk, and she took a leave of absence to watch the World Cup, but once she arrived at Diagon Alley, she burrowed into the Future World Company Headquarters and refused to come out.

Future World Company has been very busy lately because it finally opened a branch in Diagon Alley and started selling its goods to the public. Lupin spent a considerable amount of lease to obtain the right to use the store for the next two years, which is not far from the Ollivander wand store.

This store for the time being only sells one kind of good – magic lamps, all kinds of magic lamps. When Sirius and Harry went to Diagon Alley to buy books, they were immediately attracted to the store by the two mighty dragon magic lamps, they came to the door, and the vertical posters on the shopfront were also painted with other types of magic lamps, looked very eye-catching.

A young blond clerk kept everything organized at the entrance, and Harry and Sirius walked into the store, where there were rows and rows of shelves, with magic lamps of various shapes in translucent boxes. In addition, posters appeared above all the magic lamp boxes and floating in midair, one reach you can touch it.

A little boy reached out to touch the dragon above his head and found that he could not touch it. His father lifted him, and the boy struggled, as he shouted sharply with embarrassment, “I’m going to school this year!”

“Dennis-” his father was just about to speak, only to have the magic lamp in the shape of a dragon spew out a fan-shaped light at them, which startled them.

Harry also saw the figure of Luna, with her back to them, wearing a very conspicuous bright yellow robe, was surveying a delicate box, the box contains twelve kinds of palm-sized magic lamp dolls, but the shape looks more cute, like the kind of style he saw in cartoons.

“Luna.” He greeted.

“Oh, Harry,” Luna looked back at him in surprise, still holding a small eagle with short wings, “You are shopping before the World Cup, too? I figured I’d run into some familiar faces today.”

Harry surveyed her, something didn’t feel right, “Where is your little Dirigible Plum Earrings?”

“Left them at home,” Luna said regretfully, turning around and pulling a male wizard next to her who was staring intently at the purple floral pattern on the shelf, “Dad-”

The middle-aged male wizard, Luna’s father, Xenophilius Lovegood, turned back, the silver pendant hanging around his neck shaking on his chest, “Yes, dear?”

“How about we take her home with us?” She asked, holding up the palm-sized eagle in her hand.

“Oh, not good,” Xenophilius frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the eagle and the box, his marshmallow white hair fluttering over his shoulders, “I don’t think it’s good … to separate them, it would break some kind of mysterious connection between them.”

So Harry watched as Luna happily clutched the box containing the twelve magic lamp dolls and prepared to go to the counter to check out.

“See you at the World Cup, Harry.”

Luna waved at him, and Harry waved back. When father and daughter passed Sirius, Xenophilius stopped and stared at his face, Sirius looked a little impatient, but didn’t say much, there were too many people who looked at him with different eyes on the way.

But Xenophilius looked at him for too long, that Luna switched the box to her other side while waiting she chatted with Harry, as she asked thoughtfully: “Have you seen Hermione, I have something to ask her.”

“No–” Harry hurriedly replied, looking at Sirius, the atmosphere in front of him became slightly tense.

Xenophilius approached him, his somewhat contrasting light silver eyes peering straight into Sirius’ face, he flashed his teeth and asked mysteriously, “Are you, Boardman?”

“Bo-who the hell?” Sirius’ eyes widened.

“The leader of the Naughty Goblins group, Humpty Dumpty Boardman, very famous a dozen years ago.” Xenophilius whispered, “Sirius is supposed to be your alias, right?”

Sirius stared at him blankly, “No!” He said in a tough voice, and Xenophilius left with a regretful look on his face as if he had received some kind of heavy blow.

Harry laughed from the sidelines, wincing, tears welling up in his eyes, ” Humpty Dumpty – Boardman, is he really talking about you?”

Sirius tapped him on the back of the head and said thoughtfully, “A family of Ravenclaw? I Knew that house is filled with weirdos since I was in school.”

“They are exceptions, just a little odd.” Harry put in a good word for Luna.

Sirius didn’t have it in him to smile, so he just said, “And you just asked that little girl where her little Dirigible Plum earrings had gone.”

Future World Company Headquarters.

“What is this?” Lupin held a golden stick that looked like a straight pole with a dog-headed knob.

“Pharaoh’s scepter.” Felix flipped through the various charts.

“What does it do?” Lupin asked curiously, is it some new product that can suddenly jump up and hit someone in the head? He shook his head and pushed the thought out of his head, he had been interacting with the Weasley twins too much these days and the entire situation seemed out of whack.

“A souvenir brought back from Egypt, you can have it if you like.” Felix said casually.

“Forget it, maybe Sirius would like it, er, or Valen …” Lupin handed the scepter to Niffler, who was eyeing it from the desk, then he turned to ask about Clammy Vera, “What’s up with that girl? You have your eye on her too and plan to train her like the Weasley twins?”

Felix thought about it, “They are different, Vera will probably stay, at the moment it should be considered a pre-induction visit, she needs to firm up her resolve a bit.”

Lupin’s heart brightened: “I will provide the convenience.”

Felix added: “Vera is very fond of ancient runes, if she spends more time, her achievements will be very high.”

Lupin smiled: “So you plan to groom a long-term high-level expert.”
