Chapter 255： Keitelburn's Reply

At the end of the banquet, Felix got up with his own firecracker hat and prepared to leave. He saw that Hermione did not go with his companions, but stayed alone.

"What's the matter, Miss Granger?" He thought Hermione was here to find him.

"Oh, Professor," she hesitated, "I have something to say to Professor McGonagall."

"Is that..." Felix nodded, "Then I will go first. By the way, I like the music box you gave. It doesn't seem to be pure alchemy?"

Hermione’s worried expression faded, and she said happily, “I brought it from home and used the original mechanical structure to recast the spell. For the music part, I referred to the snake language scroll. The magic circuit that stores the sound on it is very useful... …"

Felix knows that after the end of the Chamber of Secrets last year, Harry still spent a few days adding up the Snake Guy pronunciation. Felix sorted out the corresponding syllables and converted them into books and kept them in the Thinking Room.

For a while, he did see Hermione playing with a scroll and asked him some production skills...

Back to the office, he took the time to return a few more letters, one of which was an official letter that caught his attention.

"It turned out to be a letter from the Ministry of Magic."

Felix looked at the sign on the letter and wondered what it would be. Could it be his memory therapy essay? But he only sent it out yesterday, when did the Ministry of Magic react so quickly.

Opening the letter, he first glanced at the signature at the bottom, which was Walsh Sidrick from the Office of the Minister of Magic’s Advisor, before he read the text.

"Dear Mr. Haipu: Some of my colleagues have noticed that your new book "The Magic of the Muggle World" has been listed as a recommended bibliography by the Ministry of Magic of twelve countries. Monographs on the study of melon issues all show that you have a very deep understanding of Muggles. We sincerely invite you to give an internal speech for the Ministry of Magic...

……

The time is tentatively scheduled for the first Thursday after the Christmas holiday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, in the second meeting room. If you have any objections, or the schedule is inconvenient, please contact me in time.

you faithful

Walsh Sidrick, Office of the Advisor to the Minister of Magic. "

The following is a long list of departments. If he accepts them, they will be the audience of his speeches, including: Muggle Mediation Committee, Muggle Liaison Office, Department for Prohibition of Muggle Abuse, Reversal of Incidental Magic Incident Team , Remember to write off the headquarters and interested people.

"It's reasonable. They are departments that often deal with ordinary people."

Felix thought for a moment, he was still willing to promote his ideas, and he also wanted to know more about the actual situation of the Ministry of Magic. Among the people who have dealt with at present, Fudge is a standard politician, and Umbridge is the same. Not to mention, the nausea is even more than three points, but Kingsley Shaker is calm and capable.

Some of the remaining people either don’t know each other, or they only communicated through letters, so accurate judgments could not be formed.

He took out a piece of parchment and wrote: Dear Mr. Sidric, I accept your invitation very happily, but in terms of time, I hope to move to Friday. I have no class that afternoon...

After the letter was sent, all that was left was waiting. In the last few days of the holiday, he did not spend time in the library, nor did he study magic artifacts in the office, but formed a new habit.

There are always a few magic symbols on his hand, only his little thumb is big, and he picks it up from time to time and plays with it for a while, even eating and sleeping as much as possible.

At his step, simply increasing the number of magic texts has no effect. The ancient magic texts he learned from many ancient books and alchemy items, in fact, do not have a deep understanding.

He decided to take time to sort out what he had learned. If he can complete a book of magic texts, it is definitely better than mastering hundreds of new practical magic texts.

He also visited several ancient magic text experts-his friends in this area are pitiful, even the most talked about TOFDI, the understanding of this area is quite limited.

In Felix's opinion, he might as well pretend to be an alchemist and mix the gold circle. Nick Lemay introduced him to a few people before, and he also wrote a few letters to express his thoughts on communication, but then slowly faded, because the focus of the two sides is completely different, it always feels awkward to communicate.

Alchemists pay more attention to the selection and ratio of alchemy materials, and the fusion of different properties. A rare formula may sell for a sky-high price or become a secret. They also pay attention to the application skills of alchemy symbols, especially the realization of unique functions.

Felix exchanged some knowledge with them, and then maintained the communication at a lower frequency.

He was not in a hurry. He didn't have a suitable circle to build his own: Eight or nine of the students who graduated last year still kept in contact with him, and the girl named Vera had the most positive attitude.

She has become a Gringotts curse caster. Curse caster is a very dangerous and serious profession. They may be killed by ancient curses, poisons or curses at work, but they are paid accordingly. Very generous.

Kremy Vera wrote to tell him that she is currently working in Egypt, where there are a large number of ancient tombs and historical sites, and the colleagues are also very friendly.

She even discovered an application scenario of practical magic text-many ancient defenses and traps are inseparable from alchemy. Compared with other alchemy symbols, practical magic texts have superior magic performance and are often selected by ancient wizards as the whole The core of the defense and counterattack system.

In a recent operation, Vera accidentally discovered that a practical magic text was hidden on the decorative pattern in the pothole. She used this to avoid a sinister curse, and she succeeded in turning right.

Felix is ​​not hesitating to give pointers. In his reply, he pointed out that for some alchemy entity traps that are not aggressive but difficult to crack for a while, you can try to bridge a magic circuit to draw out the magic and let it run out quickly. energy.

……

On the other side, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were not idle either. Ever since Hagrid wrote to Professor Kettleburn for help, they would go to Hagrid’s Hut every day to see how it was going.

There is something to do, which also reduced Harry’s resentment towards Hermione from the side He knew that Hermione was kind, but the firebolt was taken away by Professor McGonagall as soon as he got it, and it was taken to check the possibility. There are black magic and curses, and he has to endure the old comet series, which has to make him feel wronged.

Until the beginning of school, Hagrid finally received a reply.

"Read it, Hagrid, read it!" Harry said impatiently.

Hagrid opened the letter and cleared his throat. "Hagrid, I am glad to receive your letter. I feel sympathy for what happened to Barcobic, but I can do nothing. I really don't have any contacts at the Ministry of Magic. You can't expect one. What kind of popularity can a bad old man who has stayed in school 62 times and got a rewarding turn to positive before retirement, unless you want to meet one or two monster friends—"

The three Harry’s expressions were very strange. They both felt sorry for Professor Keitelburn’s failure to help, and couldn’t help laughing at his humorous self-deprecation. They looked like they wanted to laugh and held back, Ron’s eyebrows. It's about to fly to the forehead.

"Then how do we—"

"Don't worry, there will be more later." Hagrid said: "I will continue reading-but I recommend to you a person who has enough prestige in the field of magical creatures, and it just so happens that he is very Interested, it is said that it was influenced by his mother. I have attached the address. You can write to him in the near future, and I will also write a letter explaining the situation. You are faithful, Silvanus Kettleborn." Hagrid finished reading the letter and looked up at them.

"Who is it? Who is the person he recommended?" Hermione asked hoarsely. She had a cold recently.

Hagrid lowered his head again, looked at the bottom of the letter, stared and said a name, "Newt Scamander."
