Although Rita Skeeter's report set off a lot of heat, it didn't last long.

Mainly from the second week, it has been raining at Hogwarts.

The gloomy weather and the continuous rain made everyone's mood not very pleasant, and the wet cold seeped into the castle, and many young wizards caught a cold.

Madam Pomfrey had to boil a lot of pick-me-ups in advance. Although the potion had an immediate effect, the person who drank it would have white smoke coming out of his ears for hours on end.

George was also tricked, laughing at himself that he was now like an old steam train.

Fred found it amusing, and he also asked Madam Pomfrey for a bottle of pick-me-up.

Then the two of them smoked together......

In this case, Kyle finally waited for the first lesson in Ancient Runi.

The ancient Runiwen's classroom was on the third floor of the West Tower, and the professor in charge of the class, Bathsida Barbling, was a witch with gray eyes and about forty years old.

But rumor has it that she has been a professor at Hogwarts for more than fifty years, and it is not known if it is true or not.

As the most difficult subject at Hogwarts, there were very few people in the ancient Runifin classroom, only sixteen.

Because the number of people who choose this course is so small, this is already all the people of the four colleges.

After the class, Professor Babling glanced at everyone and was a little surprised.

"Are there so many people this year?"

Her voice was strange, like it had come from a long tunnel.

"That's a lot......"

Connor, who also chose this course, muttered quietly, "Are there so few people who choose this course?" ”

Although her voice was very quiet, Professor Bablin heard it.

"Last year it was nine, and the year before that it was even less...... There are only seven. "It's rare to have 10 people in this room," she says. ”

Professor Bablin was not as serious as she seemed, and after answering Connor's doubts, she half-jokingly said, "Sometimes I even wonder if I can have five grades in class together, so that I only need one class a week, and the rest of the time is just enough for me to go on vacation to other countries."

Unfortunately, your Headmaster Dumbledore always disagrees. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

After everyone had quieted down, Professor Bablin said, "Okay, now who is going to tell me what the ancient runes are." ”

Choi, who was sitting next to Connor, raised his hand.

"Ancient Runi, also known as Ancient Demonic Script, or Rune Script, was used in many books before the Middle Ages.

In addition, the arrangement of different rune characters into special symbols also produces a specific magical power, so it is also widely used in alchemy. ”

"Exactly, Ravenclaw plus two points."

"The use of runi in alchemy involves much more complex knowledge, so in most cases it is usually used to translate ancient texts," says Professor Baburing.

But if you want to learn......"

She knocked on the table.

On the walls of the classroom, several symbols suddenly lit up, and then a bright ball of light appeared in the center of the ceiling.

“…… I can teach you too. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

It doesn't take a wand to cast a spell, it's a skill they've always dreamed of.

"Professor, I want to learn this!" A Gryffindor student said excitedly.

"Do you think so too?" Professor Babling asked.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Alright then, I can teach you the basics briefly, but you have to be prepared." Professor Bablin smiled at all the students.

"Let's get started, I can't wait......" the other party patted his chest confidently.

But half an hour later, he regretted it.

It's so hard!

There are a large number of those magic texts, and the meaning of each magic text represents at least five or more, and some even as many as a dozen.

Just memorizing these things has already made his brain a mess.

In addition, it is more complicated to correctly arrange them into those special symbols.

It's obviously the same script, but according to different meanings, the way it is written is also very different.

At the end of the half-lesson, he felt as if he hadn't remembered anything, or that what he had memorized before had been forgotten in a few minutes.

Sure enough, it is not for nothing that there are fewer people in this class.

It's too complicated......

Finally, when the class ended, when he lifted his head from the "Easy Introduction to Ancient Demon Texts", his face was full of ...... Who am I, where am I, the confused expression of what I just saw.

Of course, the others are about the same.

"As for the application of alchemy, that's pretty much it."

On the podium, Professor Ba Buling said with a smile: "But normally, we don't need to remember the order of arrangement and the way of writing in our class, we just need to understand the meaning of each magic script.

It's a lot easier for you. ”

The classroom was silent, and it was clear that the students' understanding of "simple" was somewhat different from the professor's.

Just as everyone was silently packing up and preparing to leave the classroom, Professor Bablin suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing."

She said casually: "If you feel that this course is a little inappropriate for you, you can also go to your respective dean to apply for a change of course...... Until October, I'll agree. ”

Some of them had happy expressions and suddenly showed thoughtful expressions.

After leaving the classroom, Kyle looks at Connor and Cho and asks, "How are you feeling, do you want to change classes?" ”

"Of course not." Connor said without hesitation.

"That's right, why change classes." Qiu smiled and said, "Although it is a little difficult, the magic text is really interesting, no wonder Cedric strongly recommends this course to me, and it is ......"

She looked at Kyle and Connor, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I'm a Ravenclaw, I can't afford to lose to you Hufflepuffs." ”

"Hey, Academy Attack, huh!" Kyle said angrily.

"Of course not." "I mean, Ravenclaw has never been afraid of knowledge, and the more complex the content, the more interested we are. ”

"That's ......," Kyle shrugged.

Half of those sixteen were Ravenclaws.

"Still, I always had the feeling that something was wrong with Professor Babling."

Connor said thoughtfully, "The first lesson was the easiest, but she did the opposite.

I've read "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Demon Scripts" before, and the questions about the writing of magic scripts are the last thing you need to learn, and it's just a simple mention. ”

"That's right......" Qiu nodded, "Normal ancient runes aren't that difficult at all, and Professor Ba Bu Ling's last sentence...... I always felt as if she wanted her students to change classes. ”

"However, there are very few people who choose this course."

"It's just that we think it's less."

Kyle whispered, "Don't forget what she said before class...... There were rarely more than ten people in that classroom. ”

"Maybe we can ask Cedric and Fred, maybe they were like us when they first took the ancient rune class."
