Chapter 720: Professor Barburing's Warning

It's been over a week since Dumbledore last left the Headmaster's office, during which time he had come back to teach Harry a lesson and then disappeared again.

Kyle didn't know what their class was about, but he could probably guess it...... It was nothing more than an open and honest conversation with Harry.

The content may be about the Order of the Phoenix or about Horcruxes...... After all, when Harry didn't learn Occlumency some time ago, many things were hidden from him, and Harry was worried about this in his heart.

To put it bluntly, this class is for him to untie the knot, and to what extent it depends on what Dumbledore wants Harry to know.

But it has nothing to do with Kyle.

On Wednesday afternoon, after the Ancient Runi class, Kyle approached Professor Babling as he was about to escape, holding a piece of parchment with a magical formula written on it.

Yes...... Run away.

Ever since the first class of the school year, Kyle had asked a few questions about the arrangement of the magic symbols, and she hadn't wanted to see the student that much.

It's not that she's afraid of being stumped and losing face, Professor Babling's knowledge of ancient magic may be higher than Dumbledore's, and Kyle's problem is nothing to her.

Professor Babling just doesn't want to work overtime, and usually she leaves after class without delaying a minute.

But if Kyle's question is answered, it won't be a matter of delaying a minute, half an hour is less.

Unfortunately, Kyle was sitting in the doorway, and the castle couldn't be apparitioned, and her plan to leave work on time had failed since she stepped out of the classroom.

Professor Barblin glanced down at the parchment that Kyle had handed over, and his face suddenly fell.

"Primordial Demon ......," she said almost subconsciously, "What do you think this useless thing is for, wasting time?" ”

"Huh?" Kyle blinked, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect Professor Babling to say that, and the tone didn't sound like a perfunctory awareness, she really thought Kyle was wasting his time.

"That's right." Professor Babling explained, "In the eyes of medieval scholars, led by Rowena Ravenclaw, the original scripture is a great drawback, and I don't recommend that you waste your time on it. ”

"What do you mean?" Kyle still doesn't understand.

"That's ......" Professor Barblin was a little more patient, and said, "The so-called primordial magic script, to put it bluntly, is just a kind of magic text that the ancient wizards themselves deduced.

However, due to the constraints of the times, these characters have not been effectively unified and planned, in other words, they are too confusing, and if they do not understand their correct meaning, even the slightest mistake may lead to the collapse of the magic symbols.

"It is precisely because of this that the great Rowena Ravenclaw gathered all the scholars of the time to jointly plan and organize the original magic texts into a book, which is what we have learned now."

At this point, Professor Babling glanced at Kyle meaningfully, "I remember saying something to a student more than fifty years ago, and now I'm giving it to you......

"There is a reason why certain things are eliminated, don't go too far with the so-called powerful, because when you are immersed in the joy of invincibility, you often also unknowingly bring something more terrible, dragging you into the abyss of magic."

Looking at Professor Barbling's light gray eyes, Kyle subconsciously took a step back and scratched his hair.

"I'm sorry Professor, but I thought about learning this because I had read something written in primitive script."

"Oh?" Professor Babling raised an eyebrow, "At least thirteen hundred years old original documents, this is rare...... But there's no need to go out of your way to learn. ”

She grabbed it next to her, and instantly had a thick book in her hand, and then threw it to Kyle.

"This is the original magic text comparison table, just check it yourself, there is no need to waste time to learn.

"Let me make it clear, even if you insist, I won't waste time teaching you...... No one wants to take up my time, not even Dumbledore! ”

Professor Babling's patience had basically run out by this point, and by the time Kyle looked at the chart, she had already left the classroom without looking back.

By the time Kyle reacted and chased him out, there was no one in the hallway.

Kyle sighed, Professor Babling didn't have an office, or she never went to her office, and in this situation, no one could find her unless it was the next class, and the one that stood out was that she would never be delayed.

Kyle stood in the empty hallway, thinking again about what she had said earlier.

Fifty years ago, I reminded a student who that person was, Tom Riddle?

Judging from the timing, and more importantly, Riddle also knows a lot about the magic script, which Kyle has a lot to say.

However, Professor Babling was reluctant to say more, and Kyle couldn't ask.

He glanced at the book in his hand, then slipped it into the box without paying attention.

At least this trip was still rewarding, he knew that there was no need for him to study those seemingly mysterious, but in fact eliminated primordial magic texts, which could be regarded as saving him a lot of time.

As Kyle exits the hallway, Professor Babling, who has vanished, suddenly reappears at the door of the classroom.

She looked in the direction in which Kyle had left, and her eyes, which had always been calm, gradually became a little more curious, as if she had seen some interesting plot.

She never thought that there would be a second student who would notice the Primordial Script when she was in school, and she wondered if Kyle's choice was the same as the one before her.

Of course, no matter what Kyle chooses or decides, she will not interfere, and will only quietly be a bystander, just like she did fifty years ago.

……

On the other side, Kyle trotted all the way to the Charms classroom, but despite this, he was ten minutes late.

"I'm sorry, Professor Flitsch, I asked Professor Babling some questions and didn't pay attention to the time." Kyle explained, standing in the doorway.

"Next time, remember to come early, at least don't delay other students' classes." Professor Flitwick said that a punishment was also given that was neither light nor severe.

"Hufflepuff deducts a point, all right, come in."

Kyle nodded and walked into the classroom.

"Where did we just go......" Professor Flitwick clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, "yes, wandless spellcasting." ”

He continued, "This is also an ability that needs to be mastered as a wizard, and now who can tell me the benefits of casting spells without a wand. ”

"It allows wizards to not be caught after dropping their wands." Qiu raised his hand and said.

"That's right, that's it, Ravenclaw plus five points." Professor Flitwick said, "There's nothing more terrible for a wizard than dropping his wand.

"And at this point, wandless spellcasting became the last resort, and I remember the battle when I became the champion of the Duel Tournament, and my opponent took my wand away because of a moment of negligence.

"He thought he had won and couldn't wait to start celebrating, only to be hit by a wandless stun spell and lose the match."

Professor Flitwick had a wistful look on his face, "So wandless spellcasting is also a wizard's last hole card." ”

……

"Anyway, Professor Flitwick has won a few dueling tournaments." At this point, Mikel whispered below, "Why do I remember in Charms class before, he said that he won with a swamp spell?" ”

"As far as I know, Professor Flitwick has won three dueling tournaments." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "If he hadn't come to Hogwarts later, maybe that number would have increased." ”

"Three-time champions...... Mikel smacked his lips, "that's fine." ”

"Let's start with the simplest levitation charm." By this time, Professor Flitwick had already begun to teach them the essentials of wandless casting.

"You have to be focused." He said, "Keep your eyes on your feathers and imagine yourself holding your wand at this time, and now, everyone starts chanting incantations......"

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!" There was a commotion in the classroom.

The feathers on the table fluttered up and down, but none of them were normal, Ryan's feathers swayed from side to side, and Mikel's swirled in the air like a spinning top.

Even Connor's feathers trembled slightly, falling a little from time to time.

The Charms classroom seemed to be back to seventh grade in an instant, when everyone was still in first grade, and the situation was the same as now, everyone was trying to control their feathers to fly.

However, Professor Flitwick was quite happy with the result, he thought it would be nice to have half of the students get the feathers flying, and the result was much better than last year.

"Not bad, not bad." He clapped his hands and said loudly, "Concentrate and imagine your fingers as a wand, what you can do......"

With his reminder, some people became familiar with this feeling, and more and more feathers began to stop steadily in mid-air.

To be able to cast magic without a wand, to be honest, it's quite amazing, and there's an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Ryan liked the feeling, and after successfully stabilizing his feathers, he quickly became dissatisfied with this little fight, and fell on the "Standard Spell: Level 7" on the table.

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!" Ryan pointed to his textbook.

The heavy "Standard Spell: Level 7" shook violently on the table, and the next second it flew straight to Ryan's head.

"Smack!"

With a heavy crashing sound, Ryan had a big bag on his forehead, and he was directly knocked unconscious.

"I've said it all, start with feathers." Professor Flitwick shrieked, "Someone will help take him to the school hospital." ”

Mikel immediately gave up his top-like feathers and took the job.

Mikel didn't dare to let go of the use of magic for his own reasons, and wandless spells required precise magic control, so for him, this was simply an impossible task.

"How are you asking?" Connor commanded the feather in front of her as she asked, "Did Professor Barblin promise to teach you?" ”

"Not really." Kyle spins his fingers, and the feather moves back and forth. "She said it was a waste of time."

"What do you think?" Connor asked, "Maybe you can ask Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore, they should be able to teach you too." ”

"Forget it." Kyle thought for a moment and shook his head, "Actually, I think what Professor Babling said makes sense......

After class, Kyle prepares to visit Ryan at the school hospital, and on the way, he meets Hermione and Harry.

It is not difficult to judge from the direction of movement of the two that they should also go to the school hospital, after all, this road can only go there.

"Are any of the Gryffindors hurt?" Kyle asked.

"It's Ron." Harry sighed, "He was in a Quidditch training match when he got hit in the head by a Bludger. ”

“…… All right. Kyle was a little speechless.

Fred and George were able to make Bludger more obedient than Fluffy in the third grade, and Ron was smashed in the sixth grade.

However, it may also be a different position, after all, Ron is a goalkeeper and usually doesn't deal with Bludger.

"Did you start training so soon?" Kyle changed the subject.

"Because there's a lot of competition." Harry explained: "There were five people who wanted to be goalkeepers, and Ron was nervous and wanted to practice in advance during the break. If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn't have lent out all my Quidditch balls.

"By the way, what are you going to do at the school hospital?"

"Visiting roommates." Kyle said, "He had a mistake in class and got hit on the head. ”

"Speaking of which." Harry said with trepidation, "I almost got hit on the head with a cauldron the other day, in Potions class. ”

"Something happened." Kyle asked curiously, "Neville's grades shouldn't be able to make it to the improvement class." ”

"It's me." Harry's face flushed slightly, "It's the first time I've known that the cauldron would explode if the materials were put out too late. ”

"While Professor Slughorn insists that I was negligent, I think he's a little disappointed."

"Because of your Potions grades?"

"Yes." Harry nodded, "He thinks I'm supposed to be a potions genius like my mother, but I can't even cut Sleepy Beans. ”

"Wait......" Kyle suddenly realized something. Did Professor Slughorn reward elixirs in Potions class? ”

"Yes, and Hermione got it." Harry's mood finally improved, "You know, there's no one in sixth year better than Hermione. ”

"Ah, I'm just lucky." Hermione said as she spoke, trying to show her composure.

In fact, after getting the elixir, she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep for days.

"What about you, did you get the reward?" Harry asked.

"Nope." Kyle shook his head, "It's Connor." ”

Harry was surprised, but not surprised, he knew that Connor had gone to the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild during the holidays, and he had learned about it, and he knew that it was the most authoritative Potions Society in the wizarding world.

Speaking of this now, Harry was still a little envious.

Others were already able to participate in the most powerful potions organization when they were in seventh grade, but he was in the sixth grade, but he couldn't even complete the tasks in class.

"That's it......" Kyle said suddenly, "If you don't mind, I can lend you last year's notes, which have some tips for brewing potions that should help you." ”

"Really?" Harry's eyes lit up.

"What's really wrong with this, it's just a note." Kyle smiled and said, "I'll go back and look for it in a moment, and I'll bring it to you when it's time for dinner." ”

"Thank you so much." Harry said gratefully, "Seriously, after not having Snape, I suddenly found out that potions were actually quite interesting, but my previous grades were so poor. ”

"Can you show me too?" Hermione asked.

"Absolutely." Kyle nodded, "You can make a copy with the Copy Charm then, but some of it may be different from the textbook, if you can accept it." ”

"It's different from the textbook?" Hermione frowned.

"It's a Potions Master's own little trick, and I've written it down." "But I'm sure those tips worked...... After all, the book "Advanced Potions Making" hasn't changed in decades, and much of the content in it is outdated. ”

Hermione opened her mouth and didn't speak.

In fact, she was more inclined to textbooks than so-called tips, but after all, it was Kyle who recommended it, so she decided to give it a try first.

Several people chatted all the way, and soon came to the corridor where the school hospital was located.

"Are you going to Hogsmeade this weekend?" At this time, Hermione suddenly said, "The announcement says that next week will be the first Hogsmeade visit day. ”

"I don't know yet." Kyle thought for a moment, "If nothing else, I think I'll go......"

As soon as Kai finished speaking, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in front of him, and then Fawkes appeared in front of the three of them.

It looked directly at Kyle and chirped softly.

"I'm sorry Harry, Hermione." Kyle's face turned serious, "Can you please greet Ryan for me?" I may have something to do and I can't go to the hospital for a while. ”

"Ah, no problem." Harry said.

"You ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Fox fall onto Kyle's shoulder, and then disappear again.

The two looked at the empty hallway and glanced at each other.

"That's ...... Phoenix? Hermione was the first to ask.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore's phoenix." Harry said, "I've seen it when I went to the headmaster's office before. ”

"So Professor Dumbledore is looking for Kyle?" Hermione continued, "What do you think will happen?" ”

"I don't know." Harry said, "It must have something to do with the Order of the Phoenix, remember Professor Dumbledore gave me a lesson the other day?" He told me that Kyle was actually involved in a lot of the Order of the Phoenix. He also said that if he wasn't at school, I could go to Kyle for help. ”

Hermione glanced in the direction the phoenix had disappeared. "Looks like Professor Dumbledore trusts him."

"Obviously." Harry said.
