The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

Chapter 4 The Cat Who Can See the Road

The day after Victor sent the letter, he woke up from the wooden house as usual, abandoned all the conveniences brought by magic, left his body and mind to nature, and went to the farm to drive a tractor.

It’s quite troublesome to have a big farm in my hometown, right?

Victor complained to his family at the breakfast table about why he gave the farmers on the farm a day off as soon as he came back.

The family read the Daily Prophet, and while persuading Victor, they asked him to pay the owl that delivered the paper.

Don't be stingy and only feed rats. This is dimensional mail from the wizarding world to the Muggle world, and the price is generally set much higher.

Victor walked out of the house mumbling, opened the door, and saw a tabby cat sitting in front of the farm road sign. The strange square lines on its face looked very familiar.

"Good morning, little kitten, are you lost in a strange world? I have some dried rat meat to entertain you...

"No, just kidding, forget it. Ahem, hello, Professor McGonagall, I happen to have freshly baked buttered bread, but it's Irish Farmer Muggle flavor."

The tabby cat flicked its tail, twisted its body as flexibly as liquid, and transformed into a witch with a three-cornered hat and dark green robes.

Victor bowed and made a "please" gesture, and the two entered the room and started a conversation that was a bit sudden for Victor.

----

The family treated Professor McGonagall, Victor's transfiguration mentor, with respect and a hint of shamelessness.

According to his son, after Professor McGonagall first showed his talent for divination in Victor's third grade, he promoted talents in an eclectic way and offered Victor an olive branch to replace Professor Trelawney as the new professor of divination after graduation. .

However, this idea was killed by Dumbledore.

Then after the fifth-grade Victor cheating scandal in divination learning in OWL came out, she finally gave up on this idea.

However, every time Professor McGonagall encountered the eccentric Trelawny making a death prophecy anywhere in Hogwarts, she would think about it again:

"Your intuition is much better than your teacher's."

Victor thought Professor McGonagall was saying that he had seen through the kitten's true identity.

Ah, it's not that difficult.He identifies Animagus by feel.

The Eisner family left room for dialogue between the eldest son and his mentor.The study is guaranteed not to be bugged, but it's just a little messy.

Victor used his secret book, the Master of Desktop Cleaning, to sweep the mess to the floor, invited the professor to sit down, and made a cup of black tea to go with the buttered bread.

Minerva?6?1 McGonagall glanced at the semicircular bookshelf filled with books and was deeply satisfied with Victor.

Many of her students gave up their studies after graduation. On the other hand, there were many decent adults in Ravenclaw.

However, "You seem to have read a lot of Muggle books over the years." Professor McGonagall recognized some Muggle terms.

"Yes, it was hard to find a job after I graduated from Hogwarts, so I had to continue studying.

“And from a researcher’s perspective, I also want to delve into ancient Egyptian magic texts from another angle.

"Many universities in the Muggle world have established mature learning and research institutes. They have used archaeological knowledge to decipher the symbolic meanings of many magic texts, and have published many regular papers."

"I even met Mr. Heap, a magic arts professor who once taught at Hogwarts. He gave me considerable help."

"At the same time, I'm also learning about Muggle history. Their history is quite instructive.

"Furthermore, because Muggles have a relatively short lifespan, many changes that took a long time to occur in the magical world have changed rapidly several times in the Muggle world.

"We should learn the laws of the world from such a good textbook."

Professor McGonagall took a sip of black tea, and the rough smell of the farm made her frown.Still, she was pleased to hear what Victor had accomplished in four years.

After all, all the talented little lions in his academy have made their mark in the magical world, but Victor has never heard of his movements.

"You know, since you took the Divination OWL exam in 85..."

She paused, and Victor said he didn't mind mentioning it, sighing that the professor was still as straightforward and caring as before.

"You are regarded as cheating with strange ancient Egyptian magic, and then you will not be seen as high-spirited in the future. Some wizards laugh at you as a Ravenclaw eagle with broken wings."

"But Dumbledore and I are clear that you have been immersed in interpreting your prophecy."

Victor was noncommittal.

"You are a very good prophet, Victor. You are the second best among the prophets I have ever seen. You are always so accurate."

"I think the only one in the first place is the owner of the Elder Wand."

Professor McGonagall seemed to smile, and then started talking to Victor about another matter. This was the purpose of her visit today:

"Victor, tell me about your war prophecy. How far has it been solved?"

Victor reflexively wanted to sit upright.

As a person who was a college student before time travel and lived twice and studied for a total of 26 years, he became alert when he heard the professor's "Talk about it".

“All I can say is I made sure I translated the names of the cards.

"There are a lot of ancient Egyptian characters on the cards that are densely packed with small characters. I have interpreted a lot of them over the years, but I always can't form a coherent sentence."

Victor was upset when he talked about it.

Ancient Egyptian runes are different from ancient runes. The latter is a course at Hogwarts and is also the standard ancient runes in the British wizarding world. There are traces to follow when studying them.

However, the ancient Egyptian magic script given by the Millennium Building Blocks is a hieroglyphic script whose logic is different from that of the British.

When Victor was at Hogwarts, he had been trying to use runic word-making methods to decipher ancient Egyptian text, and he had taken many detours.After going to college, I followed a Muggle professor to reorganize my knowledge of Egyptian writing.

But even so, the ancient Egyptian text on the card always made him feel elusive.

"So, what's the name of the Pharaoh card?"

The Pharaoh Card, this is the official name given to Goldfinger by Victor, commemorating the owner of the Millennium Building Blocks in another dimension, the nameless Pharaoh King Atum.

"I am convinced that what is written above the card is: Final War. I stated this when I sent six letters to Hogwarts."

"Oh, at that time Dumbledore still read the letters himself. After the number of your letters exceeded one hundred, he forwarded the recipient address to my office."

"...I apologize if Professor you came here because you couldn't bear to be disturbed.

"Let's do this. I will re-edit Professor Dumbledore's address to the owl clock and send a few pairs of wool socks with the letter. I think this will make him more patient..."

Professor McGonagall interrupted Victor's apology conference. She stared at Victor with a "can't you see it yet" look and said:

"Victor, don't tell me you can't guess what I'm here to do today. Evaluate the war subjects you've been asking for a year. This is the task Dumbledore gave me."

Of course Victor guessed it.

He has a keen intuition.

This is not to be polite.
