Chapter 90: Demon Text
After changing the subject, Malfoy walked towards the outside of the auditorium, Pansy followed, the first class of the day was the Ancient Magic Script, it should be for ease of arrangement and coordination, similar electives seemed to be in the same building, so they came to the North Tower again, but this time the floor was lower. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were no accidents along the way, after all, I had been here once before, but there were several portraits of warhorses jumping down, leisurely grazing on the grass, the fat jazz named Cadogan babbling something that people couldn't understand, wanting to charge on a war horse for a while, recruiting these students to be his subordinates for a while, and the short and fat body with inexplicable words and movements was especially ridiculous, which reminded Malfoy of the windmill rider named Don Quixote.
They went up a few floors slightly, and they saw a bright iron sign, which was engraved with strange patterns, no, it should be words, and the various types of words on it were constantly changing, and Malfoy's powerful dynamic vision managed to capture the moment when the English characters flashed, and it read: The Ancient Magic Classroom is in the second classroom in the corridor on the right.
"It's a special test. Malfoy thought to himself, those words he hadn't seen in his own self-study "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magical Scripts", it should be advanced words.
Malfoy didn't put too much thought into the ancient magic scriptures, except for the memorization, a certain degree of comprehension and maturity far beyond his peers, he didn't have more talent in magic, compared to the memory subjects in magical disciplines such as potions and herbology, Malfoy's learning was generally cautious and careful, and he didn't have the confidence to continue this difficult science without the guidance of professionals.
As a result, most of his previous self-study in the ancient magic language subject was superficial.
The sign in the classroom was a few years old, and the magic nailed to the wall seemed to have partially failed, and a rusty iron sign hung from the ground, hanging limply in the air, and as soon as the two of them stepped into the classroom, they heard the bell ringing.
"What a coincidence. Pansy patted her chest in surprise, but she wasn't afraid of being late.
"Who do you think is delaying?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time. Pansy playfully stuck out her tongue.
Malfoy then found a place to sit down, and looked around the classroom, a large room that could accommodate at least a hundred people at once, with only a dozen students scattered across the seats, and the teacher in charge of the ancient magic course, Professor Bathsida Barbling, sat on the podium with a faint smile, not minding that her class was only so many students, and perhaps a little surprising that so many students were willing to come to her class.
Bathsida Barblin was a middle-aged witch, about fifty or sixty years old, and unlike the divination professor who was covered with jewelry, she dressed in a simple style, except for a pale yellow knitted kaftan and a light blue shawl to bring out her affinity, and under the wrinkled eye sockets, her eyes were full of depth and wisdom.
"Very well, I'm glad you had the courage to choose this course, this is probably the most profound course you have learned in Hogwarts, of course, if you are just preparing for exams, this is also the easiest course, you just need to memorize the knowledge in the book. The female professor's voice was gentle and magnetic, but not lacking in seriousness.
"Ancient magic is a rather contradictory course. She said. "Even Professor Dumbledore can't deny that the combat effectiveness of wizards in the wizarding world today has declined, which is the inevitability of the times, and it is also unavoidable for all wizards. Professor Barburing sighed, "Because it's the time of standard spells." There was regret and joy in her tone.
"As the times progressed and evolved, wizards gradually abandoned the powerful but equally flawed ancient scripts and made use of standard spells, but they are all part of magic, and the more we know, the deeper it will help us to further understand magic. ”
"Even some of the current spells still have the shadow of ancient magic scripts, can that student say that?" only one person in the classroom raised his hand.
"Well, Miss Hermione Granger, I think you have a good answer for me. With only a dozen students taking elective courses, she had the patience to remember every one of her classmates' faces, and she had heard of this studious student, which made it easy for her to call out the girl's name.
Hermione stood up suddenly, looking a little nervous, this class had a much higher status in her heart than the so-called divination class, and she had to make a good impression on the teacher.
She straightened her somewhat messy hair and took a deep breath before speaking slowly, "The most evil spell of the Unforgivable Spell, the Avada Death Spell, has some traces of ancient magic scripts. Then he sat back in his chair.
Pansy was one of the other students with blank expressions, some apparently having heard of the infamous spell, and Pansy was one of them, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, unable to accept that the course she was studying could have anything to do with that spell.
"Well, actually, my question just set a trap. Professor Barblin laughed, her eyes narrowed, clearly satisfied that the girl had fallen into her trap.
"But I still have to add ten points to Gryffindor, because you're not wrong. She added. "You may be seated. ”
Hermione sat down a little happily, not depressed by her mistakes, this is the real lesson that makes her happy, not those that are unfounded, and what "aura" alone can determine a person's learning outcomes, and suddenly Hermione sat up straight again, because she heard the female professor begin to explain the problem just now.
"It's not so much about which spells have the shadow of ancient scriptures, but which spells don't have the idea of borrowing from ancient scriptures. She paused, looked around the classroom and continued, "In a sense, the ancient magic script is the origin of all current spells, but the current spells have been improved countless times, and have become stable and relatively effective. ”
"Well, I seem to have introduced too much. Professor Barblin patted his forehead with some annoyance, put his hands together, and said, "If I brag any more, your Professor Flitwick may be dissatisfied." She made a joke, then tapped the teaching desk in front of her with her wand.
"Can any of you name a device from Hogwarts that uses ancient magic scripts?" she asked.
"The ceiling in the auditorium. Malfoy stood up and replied, he didn't think that the magic that could see the starry sky outside the window was deliberately maintained by some teacher, the only answer should be the ancient magic script, and it was normal for him to make such a scene according to the level of the Big Four.
"Eyes are like torches. The female professor glanced at Malfoy appreciatively, "Mr. Malfoy must have already pre-studied, so what kind of magic script is used on it?"
"Cured, transparent, perceived. Malfoss paused for a moment and muttered, Needless to say, the ancient magic text of perception and transparency is like a photoresistor on the ceiling, and when night falls, it can keenly perceive the change of light source in the outside world, and then it becomes transparent.
He had reason to believe that both technology and magic were mere means, and if possible, with infinite development, perhaps the two systems could eventually arrive at a unified explanation.
"Oh, perfect answer, Slytherin because you added twenty points. Professor Babling began to applaud spontaneously for this wonderful answer.
Hermione heard the familiar male voice, looked back sharply, and immediately turned her head back.
"That's right, it's normal for him to take this course. Hermione thought to herself, it was her instinct that he would definitely not be interested in those illusory futures.
"Should I go and thank him for Ron?" Hermione began to think, with Ron's character, he would never apologize to Malfoy, and Harry was the same, so he should be the only one who could do this, at least according to the rumors in the second-year secret room, she saved Malfoy herself, and presumably he wouldn't speak ill of her, but she couldn't help but think of Malfoy's bad words when he was eating breakfast in the auditorium just now.
"Oh, help him, be sentimental, I just want to humiliate him, by the way, you came and thanked me for him by yourself, I'm afraid that guy won't take your affection." Hermione could have guessed that Malfoy would say those things, and maybe something more vicious.
"No, no matter what he thinks in his heart, whether it's humiliation or he really wants to help, it's a fact that he helped Ron, and I should still go and thank you. Hermione unconsciously clenched the white quill in her hand, ready to be stabbed by cold words.
She could even foresee that Ron and Harry wouldn't have looked down on her if they knew, and she remembered that the cracks in her own relationship with Malfoy were also due to her own cleverness, and she didn't care about his feelings, so she ran to ask where the Philosopher's Stone came from.
But there are some things that must be done, and you can't back down because of the harshness and boredom of your friends.
It was her own insistence, a Gryffindor's insistence.
This may make her popularity not very good, but she will not regret it either.
"The origin of the ancient magic text is from magical creatures...", the kind and magnetic female voice sounded, and after a series of guidance, Professor Babling began her topic of the day, just like the foreign language departments of many Muggle universities, for students similar to a foreign language subject, in the first class many professors did not teach "you, me and him", but chose to teach numbers, of course, whether there is such a pronoun as "you, me and him" in the ancient magic text We have no way of knowing at present.
The inventions of ancient times, human beings, or intelligent beings, may not have the concept of "referent" in their minds at all.
Anyway, the teacher began to lecture, and Hermione forced her mind to return to the state of studying, shook off those distractions, and listened carefully.
