A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 84 Professor Snake

In the first class of the new semester, Felix felt the inner restlessness of the little wizards. They were all waiting to go to the courtyard to see the basilisk after class.

He cleared his throat, and after attracting the attention of the little wizards, he waved his wand lightly, "Oolong comes out." Along with a cloud of black air, a small snake surrounded by black spots landed on the desk .

It made a "hissing" sound, and its slender body kept twisting.

The little wizards raised their heads one after another, stretching their necks to see clearly.

Felix's wand ran across its scales, and the little black-spotted snake's appearance changed drastically—its smooth scales became thick and firm, giving it a metallic texture; its color It also became shiny green, glowing with the gorgeous light unique to poisonous snakes.

Even its body swelled a lot, it raised its flat snake head, and its pair of yellow eyes looked cold and menacing.

"Professor, is this... a basilisk?" a student asked.

"Yes."

"So, Potter and the others defeated this little guy?"

The little wizard in the audience said with some disappointment that it was too small, about three or four feet.

Especially the little basilisk shrinking on the podium, it looks even more inconspicuous.

Many young wizards suddenly had an illusion in their minds: I can do it if I do it.

However, the appearance of the basilisk is very bluffing, especially the pair of yellow eyes, which are really penetrating.

Felix was noncommittal about their attitude, and continued to explain: "The biggest threat to the basilisk lies in the eyes, which are extremely lethal. In other words, when you see it, you may have lost the power to fight back forever. "

The discussion in the audience was much quieter.

"and--"

He waved his wand, and the little basilisk crouched on the podium suddenly sprang up from the table, scaring the little wizards in the front row to fall back.

And when it drew an arc in the air and just landed in the middle of the classroom, the body of the little basilisk suddenly expanded rapidly.

It magnified more than ten times in an instant, and before they could react, it filled most of the classroom space.

"Ahhh!" Many little wizards screamed and hurriedly avoided the huge basilisk that was crushed down, but soon they discovered that the body of the basilisk had changed from a solid body to a black mist.

A little wizard sitting on the ground mustered up the courage to reach out to touch it, and his hand went straight through the black mist.He raised his head and saw that many people's half bodies were stuck into the black mist, and they were moving out in fear at the moment.

Felix said full of mischief: "Well, this is the original size of the basilisk."

After a while, the little wizards calmed down after realizing that this thing didn't do them any harm.

Several students climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, and one of them, a little witch named Campbell King, stirred the black mist-shaped basilisk with a magic wand, stirring the scales near her into a cloud of black mist again.

Many little wizards imitated curiously, and in the process, the black mist-like basilisk kept walking and twisting its body in the small classroom, and the huge snake body passed through the tables, chairs, books, men and women.

But at this moment, most of the little wizards were not afraid anymore, they poked it with their wands enthusiastically, sparks of various colors flickered from time to time in the shadowy black mist.

After a few minutes, the basilisk shrank back to three or four feet, and its body also changed from a black mist to a green and shiny entity.

"Professor, is this what the basilisk really looks like in the Chamber of Secrets?" A little wizard asked in an awed tone.

"You can understand it this way." Felix conjured up a chair and sat on it by himself. "Since you are curious about the basilisk, let it give you a lecture today."

The little wizards looked at each other in confusion, but at this moment, a voice similar to that of Professor Haipu came out from the mouth of the basilisk.

"Opening the book now to page 79, we will study excerpts from a manuscript translated in 1842 by ancient rune expert Carlisle Matthews, which is from about 700 years ago."

Many little wizards were taken aback, but with their previous experience, they were not ashamed to fall off their seats again. Instead, they stared at the little wizard with a raised upper half in front of the podium with big eyes. On the tall basilisk.

They blinked suspiciously, and then looked at Professor Haipu who was sitting peacefully in the corner of the podium, with countless complex thoughts surging in their hearts.

And the little basilisk opened its mouth, revealing thin, dagger-like teeth, "Yes, it is me, your ancient rune professor. So, what are you waiting for?" The basilisk suddenly approached the front The little wizard in the row was so scared that she dropped her quill.

"Campbell, tell me, what did I just say?"

"Teacher, professor, you just talked about the rune Eoh, which means the yew tree, which symbolizes death and regeneration, and can also mean continuity and maintenance." The little witch named Campbell King stood up and stammered.

"That's right, Ravenclaw adds ten points." The basilisk said with a letter.

Campbell sat down with a long sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"So, why don't you write it down?"

The rest of the little wizards began to write furiously.

In the rest of the course, the little wizards gradually accepted this somewhat weird "Professor Snake". The yellow eyes said loudly, "Don't look at me, read a book!"

Professor Haipu, who was sitting in the corner, had a smile on his face from the beginning to the end, and he was in a very happy mood.

As the get out of class was approaching, Felix stood up. He waved his wand, and amidst the reluctance of the little wizards, he turned their snake professor into a black mist again.

"Today's homework is to retell the content of this manuscript. The requirement is a piece of parchment, and the knowledge learned in the third and fourth grades must be used."

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, there were "crackling" footsteps and noises in the corridor—these little wizards couldn't wait to rush out and went straight to the courtyard.And in the fifth-grade ancient rune classroom, the little wizards packed their things in a daze, and walked out of the classroom slowly.

"Hey! Campbell, hurry up, let's go see the basilisk!" Her friend stopped her and said cheerfully, "I've been looking forward to this since last Transfiguration class."

Campbell said indifferently: "You go first."

"how about you?"

"I suddenly lost interest in basilisks," Campbell said.

The little wizards who walked out of the ancient rune classroom with her nodded sympathetically. Not only did they have a lesson with the basilisk, they were also taught to learn ancient rune by it.

……

In the courtyard, many little wizards were already surrounded, they were crowded together, shadowy.

In the middle of the little wizard is a huge basilisk monster that is forty feet long. Its body is as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and its scales are as big as a palm. It looks very rough and glows with a cold green color. Light.
