A little badger from Hogwarts

Hogwarts Castle, fourth floor!

Hart was in Professor Phoenix's office, demonstrating to him the results he had achieved over the past few months.

"Yes, yes! It is indeed a wonderful idea to control the opening and closing of the magic text through mechanical changes."

Professor Phoenix looked at the applause and nodded in recognition of Hart and his team's hard work during this period of time.

But Hart himself shook his head and took the initiative to confess: "Although it looks like this method is very good now. But we are faced with a technical problem that cannot be circumvented, that is, a spell is usually composed of several magic words alternately. . We tried to use split combinations, but what we ended up with was just a lump of black coal."

In fact, Hart and the others are not to blame for this. Combining magic words into magic spells is an advanced thing. They either haven't learned it or they are half-baked. If they don't produce anything, it's normal. If they actually produce it, it's called a weird thing. !

"This can be considered a secret, so you just told me directly?" Phoenix raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"You and I have no business involvement, so it doesn't matter." Hart waved his hand indifferently.

"That's right!" Phoenix smiled and nodded, and suddenly said: "What if I am willing to join your cause?"

"Sorry, although we are very grateful for your support, we are not accepting external funding now!" Hart was indeed a little moved, but when he thought that he didn't understand the professor in front of him at all, he still refused.

"Why is this?" Professor Phoenix was really surprised at this moment: "I can lend you interest-free loans, which is regarded as my senior investment in you people!"

"Let's forget it!" Hart was even more afraid to accept it now.

"As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Why do I feel something is wrong when you are so enthusiastic all of a sudden?"

"You kid is quite thoughtful!" Professor Phoenix shook his head with a smile. Obviously he didn't think so much: "Since the gold galleons are not accepted, then there is no problem with the knowledge related to the magic text!"

"Of course, we will treat you as a technical investor! When we start making profits, we will definitely give you a share."

Hart quickly made amends, but did not forget to add one sentence.

"There is no need to share the money. I am your magic text professor, and it is my duty to teach you knowledge."

Professor Phoenix smiled and added: "Besides, I am not short of money."

Hart didn't know whether the professor was really Versailles or just pretending to be fat, but it had nothing to do with him, as long as he was willing to teach him.

Next, the teacher and student started a secret course at night.

Although it was said to be a secret course, Professor Phoenix did not teach any secret information. He just took out the scheduled course in advance.

"In fact, magic text is just a tool. As long as you understand the basic meaning, the rest of how to use it depends on how you use it!"

Of course Hart understood that the professor was worried that he was too ambitious, so he quickly said: "Don't worry, I am not an ambitious person. I will master these things as soon as possible."

"Very good!" Professor Phoenix nodded with satisfaction.

Then the lecture ended.

Hart left the professor's office, looked at his watch, and found that it was already ten o'clock, and he was about to go back to the dormitory to rest.

But as soon as he reached the stairs, he heard a shrill, blood-curdling scream.

That high-pitched, continuous, deafening tone kept echoing in the empty corridor, making people couldn't help but send chills down their backs.

However, he soon felt something was wrong: "Why does this voice sound familiar?"

Hart followed the sound and walked upwards. Just halfway, the screams suddenly stopped.

Before he could react, he felt someone pushing him, but when he looked closely, there was no one around him.

Hart stood up holding on to the wall and complained: "Sooner or later, I will hang lights in every dark place in Hogwarts."

"But what was that thing that hit me just now?"

He looked around, but before he could find anyone, he heard a meowing scream and saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

Sensing danger, Hart subconsciously threw out the wand in his sleeve, "There are many obstacles!"

The invisible magic power spread out and knocked the black shadow away.

"Meow~"

At this moment, Hart heard the cry clearly. It was a shrill meow. At the same time, he also knew what he was going to face next.

"Oh, Mrs. Norris, what's wrong with you? Who did this to you?"

Filch ran out with a lantern, looking worriedly at his cat, with Snape right behind him.

"What bad luck!" Seeing these two people, Hart knew that he would not be able to sleep well today.

Sure enough, Snape swung his cloak and walked over menacingly, opening his mouth to criticize: "Hart, it's so late, why are you wandering around when you're not in the dormitory?"

"Someone broke into the library just now. Didn't you happen to appear here?"

"Of course not!" Hart replied, spreading his hands: "I just came out of Professor Phoenix's office when I heard screaming, so I came up to see what was going on."

"Lie!" Filch hugged his cat and scolded Hart angrily, his voice breaking: "This cunning boy must be lying. He must be the one who broke into the forbidden book area just now. I will hang him up. Revenge for Madam Losri!"

"First of all, your cat suddenly pounced on me. It was totally deserved."

Hart's pity for Filch completely disappeared with that threat.

"Second, why do you think I am the one who broke into the forbidden book area? Is there any evidence? If not, I will sue you for defamation!"

After saying these two sentences, Hartley ignored the two guys and turned around and went downstairs!

If it were other professors, he might have cooperated to clarify himself, but when he met Snape, it was better to forget it. When the two of them meet, there will be no other outcome than tearing each other apart.

"I won't let you go!"

Snape's voice came from behind, and Hart just waved his hand: "I'm waiting for you, don't hold back!"

"That's so outrageous, Professor Snape, how could you let this little beast do this to you?" Filch felt unfair for Snape.

But Snape did not catch up with Hart, "That boy is right. Do you have any evidence to prove that he was in the restricted area just now?"

"He is the only one here, who else could he be?"

"These are not the good days in the past, Filch!" Snape shook his head: "You can't do anything to a student just by guessing. If you want to do anything to him, you must get something hard enough." The evidence put him to death once and for all.”

"I understand!" Filch nodded with a ferocious smile, as if the door to a new world had opened.
