Chapter 515： The changes brought about by Burglar Falls

"Joker, warrior, lion, firebird...what do they mean?" Ms. Bones asked tentatively. If the first two sentences have opened the curtain of the times, then the latter four are obviously important roles on the stage. She actually had some guesses in her mind, and she wanted to get confirmation from Dumbledore and Felix at the moment.

"Before it really happened, all we got was conjecture." Dumbledore shook his head slightly.

"But, some things—such as Nirvana the Firebird, don't they refer to the Phoenix? Or people related to the Phoenix?" Ms. Bones said, looking at Dumbledore unabashedly.

As we all know, the principal of Hogwarts has a phoenix named "Fox".

"This is one of the shortcomings of prophecy," Dumbledore said with a smile. "When you try to explore the'truth', you are already in it-I can think of more than a dozen wizards related to the'Firebird'. If you count foreign countries, it’s even more. It may represent a certain kind of magical animal, such as a phoenix; or some magic, such as a unique patron saint, transfiguration; it can even represent a state, a type of quality... What we are guessing right now is what we hope to see."

...

Day by day, Felix took the time to go to the Ancient Magic Association, led by Kremy, and they came to the office of the president of the Ancient Magic Association unimpeded-in fact, it was an independent study room. Stacked with various stone steles, scripts and ancient writings.

Felix saw Old Vera at a glance, he was lying in front of the table with a row of magic text cards on the table, muttering words in his mouth.

Kramy coughed slightly, but the people at the table didn't react.

Kramy had to walk over, knocked his fingers on the table, and reminded: "Grandfather, Professor Haipu is here..."

"Who's here?" Old Vera raised her head and glanced at her slightly blankly, her attention seemed to remain on the table, "Forget it, don't worry about that, let me see what I should understand here first?" He waited. For a few seconds, there was no response, so he looked up carelessly, and when he met Felix's eyes, his eyes suddenly widened.

"I heard Kramy say that you have time recently, so you came here suddenly." Felix said with a smile, "I recently read a few books you wrote, and I have some questions. I want to discuss it with you. ..."

Facts have proved that no matter how stubborn people are, when someone takes the initiative to hand out the ladder, he will push halfway.

At least Old Vera was such a person, he had already compromised, and he didn't care about being embarrassed this time.

At the beginning, Felix asked a few questions symbolically. It happened to talk about the pride of Old Vera. He began to talk and talk, but after ten minutes, it became him holding Felix’s hand. Ask about the magic text card.

"I want to compile an order according to the difficulty, as a reference for learning." Old Vera said.

Felix was a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about the textbook.

"Don't look at my research on theoretical magic texts, but at any rate they have something in common," Old Vera reluctantly'quoted' Felix's definition and explained: "As long as I want to, I will learn dozens of them a day. Practical Mowen is not a problem at all, it's just that you need to adjust your writing and cognitive habits."

Felix understood that this is a trick. As the old Vera said, the two do have overlapping parts-both theoretical magic texts and practical magic texts. The speed of learning must be very fast, but the remaining ones will take a lot of time.

According to this line of thinking, those old antiques in the Ancient Magic Script Association who have studied theoretical magic verses for a lifetime can actually master hundreds of magic verses casually, and the follow-up learning will not be too slow.

Of course, there are not so many practical magic texts on the market for them to learn. It's all in Felix's hands.

"Mr. Vera, I want to ask you one thing." Felix said, "This year's Hogwarts Ancient Magic Course will undergo a curriculum reform, which will be divided into a theoretical part and a practical part, and the two parts will be tested separately. Theory. The part is okay, but the practical part requires re-planning of the textbook-I think what you are doing now is very helpful in writing the textbook."

"You mean to let me participate in it? Are you willing to give up this part of the rights?" Old Vera looked quite surprised.

"The decision is definitely still in my hands." Felix said quietly.

The ancient magic text developed to the present, he is no longer alone, and this is completely unnecessary. He only needs to stare at the most important places without making mistakes and not letting the development direction deviate from expectations.

...

Before the beginning of school, a good news finally came from the sword castle. The anti-thief waterfall is complete.

"It seems to be different from Gringotts?" Sirius looked at the products in the laboratory.

In front of him is an arch, the sides are straight, no different from a normal door frame, except that there is an extra half arc on the top, and a thin curtain of water hangs down from the arc. Sirius and Ms. Bones are in front of each other. Later, through the curtain of water, he looked at the other side's dim figure.

"The principle has changed. I have incorporated some magic text circuits to replace the part of fairy magic." Felix said. "The effect is almost the same. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

"What do you want to do? Does anyone have the compound decoction on him?" Sirius looked at the other people with searching eyes. The others shook their heads. He looked at Felix again, but Felix looked at him with a smile on his face. he.

Sirius was a little dazed for a while, what did this mean. But he suddenly woke up.

"Animagus?"

Felix nodded at him, yes, just what you think.

Sirius did not refuse either, and his body quickly turned into a big dog covered with black hair. Its fur is shiny and smooth, and it is huge, like a bear.

Sirius in the form of Animagus looked a little excited, yelled to the surroundings twice, wagging his tail, and circled Harry who came together, looking very happy.

Ms. Bones' thick eyebrows jumped fiercely. She had to clear her throat-by this time the **** dog had put two front paws on Harry's shoulders. "Oh, Sirius, Ms. Burns seems to be calling you." Harry said laboriously, almost knocked over by it.

The **** dog circled the arch twice, then got in from one side. The water curtain on the arch made ripples and Harry suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

The fact is also true. The thin curtain of water seemed to have another secret. Half of the **** dog's head disappeared from one side, but did not immediately appear on the other side. It is completely unknown to all of this, and walks forward on its own. When only two hind legs are left, only half of its head appears on the other side of the arch. It looks like Sirius’ body was taken by someone. After walking for a while, it looks very funny.

Harry shrugged his shoulders and suppressed a laugh, and the rest of the audience, including Ms. Bones, also cocked their mouths.

But in the next second, the funny show turned into a horror scene. The **** dog's head was forced to shrink and deform, and the black hair quickly faded. Then his shoulders, arms and body parts returned to his human form.

Sirius shook his head, as if he couldn't figure out where he was, and it took a few seconds to wake up.

"It's amazing." He tweeted, circling around the arch. The look was no different from when he was deformed before. He plunged one hand into the curtain of water and then pulled it out again. The curtain of water did not react significantly this time. .

There was a round of neat applause in the laboratory.

...

A week before school started, Felix got his new wand. Thirteen inches, ebony wood, the core is taken from a piece of his own hair. When the fingers touched the wand, the fingertips suddenly heated up, and the wand vibrated slightly, seeming to be jumping for joy, cheering, and can't wait to wait for his first spellcasting——

Felix held his magic wand and cut through the air like a long sword-Ollivander watched intently-the ‘crack’ seemed to be connected to another place, and quickly expanded, sucking the surroundings in. The small magic wand shop seemed to shift its shape all at once, appearing in a barren land overgrown with weeds.

Everything seemed so real, the dim light, the swaying bushes, the whistling sound, Mr. Ollivander also smelled the smell of the fresh soil that was sent by the wind, he tried to walk two steps forward, and hit something Things are on, but there is clearly nothing there.

"Illusions? No, more real than illusions..."

He pulled a handful of weeds from the ground and watched it turn into dots in his hand.

The next second, the entire illusion disappeared, and they returned to the wand shop. Felix nodded in satisfaction. Although the specific effect has yet to be verified, the Mind House Magic alone has made significant progress. He can more easily make the memory in his head appear in reality, "Much better than I expected. Now, Mr. Ollivander, thank you, you are the best wand master I have ever met."

"It's you who match the wand," Mr. Ollivander said with a wry smile, "Even if you change the person or the material, it will not have this effect."

After that, Felix paid enough remuneration.

"Speaking of which I want to thank you," Mr. Ollivander said. "Thanks to you for reminding me, I found two groups of sneaky people."

"A Death Eater?"

"Maybe," Mr. Ollivander was not sure about himself. "Those people are hiding their heads and revealing their tails. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic has issued warnings to every shop. Just click on the Auror patrolling the street and they will rush quickly. Now, they haven't had time to do anything."

...

"Remus, it's nice to meet you. I thought you forgot about us." Sirius hugged Lupin and pretended to complain.

"He may not forget you, but he must have forgotten my boss." Felix said quietly from the side.

"Ahem--" Lupin turned his head guiltily.

"What the **** is going on?" Sirius asked, and they were sitting in the living room of Black's old house, waiting for people to come to the meeting.

"Encountered a closed and exclusive community." Lupin explained: "It is not wise to risk contact with the outside world under the nose of a group of nerve-sensitive werewolves. I stayed until the matter was over." There was a lingering expression on his face. "Once or twice I almost thought I couldn't come back."

Sirius didn't say anything, but patted him on the back twice.

Kingsley and Emilyn Vance came over, everyone gave a warm welcome to Emilyn's recovery, and the taciturn witch kept smiling.

Soon, Snape also appeared. Everyone entered the meeting room one after another. "Don't expect eavesdropping, I will use magic." Mrs. Weasley warned the children.

"It sounds like you did it for the first time." Fred muttered. The door closed heavily in front of him.

In the meeting room——

Snape was the first to speak.

"The next thing I read is a top-secret document. At the request of Principal Dumbledore, it is not allowed to be mentioned publicly on any occasion, and is not allowed to be disclosed to non-members of the Order of the Phoenix." He deliberately glanced at Sirius, Sirius. There was a "cut".

"According to reliable information, the Dark Lord—the mysterious man," Snape changed his expression expressionlessly, "has a keen interest in something in the Department of Mysteries, and is sparing no effort to search..."

"After the anti-thief waterfall?" Sirius interrupted him.

"...You will find that that thing can't stop him." Snape said lightly.

"I know his abilities, I have fought him—"

"You mean to run away?"

Both Snape and Sirius were almost needle-pointed to Maimang, making everyone else a headache.

"Well, we can put our greetings after the meeting." Kingsley said.

"... In view of the failure of controlling the Silent Broderick Bird with the Imperius Curse for the first time, he may send Death Eaters to gather information-he has shortcomings in this area, and he has worked in the Department of Mysteries. Death Eater August Rookwood was imprisoned in Azkaban again..."

"...The Anti-thief Waterfall is not omnipotent. It cannot detect people's hearts. Whether it is willing, forced, or unwittingly revealing secrets, it cannot detect or warn..."

Snape finished speaking, then leaned back in his chair and said nothing.

"Oh, then I will continue on this topic," Kingsley said calmly: "We have been prepared for this. Such things have been subjected to complex protection magic, and the silent people who can reach it through the normal way are strictly controlled. Restrictions, but there may be loopholes during the time after get off work. Dumbledore persuaded Ms. Burns to let the Order of the Phoenix take on the protection task, the reason is to avoid leaks."

Not everyone in the Order of the Phoenix knows Voldemort's goal, so when they talk about prophecy, they use ‘such a thing’ to refer to it.

"I don't have anything to say here," Sirius said. "We are somewhat relieved after the anti-thief waterfall. Amelia has decided to also arrange one in Azkaban. The time is tentatively set for the day after tomorrow..." Suddenly, his tone became complicated. If there were such things a few years earlier, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Snape raised his head, eyes gleaming strangely. He whispered: "Azkaban? Are you with you too? Yeah, I don't think you will miss it. You made a lot of friends there..."

The conference room almost evolved into an arena.

...

After the meeting was over, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who had no task stayed to enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea, and Snape and Professor McGonagall left on their own. Felix stared at Snape's disappearing figure and asked Mr. Weasley: "Has he been so busy?"

"Probably, he doesn't stay too much on weekdays." Mr. Weasley murmured. They came to the living room and sat down. Soon after, Mrs. Weasley and Tonks appeared with some dessert plates Pay attention to the last step. "Ms. Weasley reminded.

"Oh, okay," Tonks said, and then hit the umbrella stand and the plate came out.

Felix moved his fingers and let the plate fall on the table.

"Thank you, I always forget that there is something here." Tonks said distressedly.

"The umbrella stand was actually moved here from the hall two days ago," Ginny behind her said weirdly. "The reason is that you always bump into it when you come back from get off work..."

Tonks was so embarrassed that she covered Ginny's mouth, she screamed and ran away.

"Where are Frank and Alice?" Felix asked, who hadn't been here for a while.

"They went to a far gate, and they should go to the giant's territory." Mr. Weasley said.

On the other side, Bill was chatting with Sirius and Lupin.

"The fairies are very angry, you know, because of the thief-proof waterfall." Bill said of the information he found in the office.

"Crappy excuse, they don't want to support either of us at all." Sirius said.

"If you have dealt with them, you will find that the concept of the fairies is different from ordinary people, to be precise, different from wizards." Bill shrugged and said, "They are really angry, thinking that wizards have stolen their skills... …But you’re right, they really didn’t plan to be on our side..."

"Sirius, when are you going to leave the Ministry of Magic?" Lupin asked. What he asked was not when Sirius was off work at the Ministry of Magic, but when he would withdraw. According to the plan, Sirius would become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the new school year.

"It's the day before school starts." Sirius hesitated and said.

"You won't bear it?" Bill said with a smile.

"Ha, what a joke, I wish I could leave soon."
