"A certain Hogwarts Rune Professor (
Felix mentioned Percy's report slightly before going out.
Ms. Burns nodded in understanding. They walked out of the small lounge, and the people outside waited anxiously, at least as of now, the ownership of the snakewood wand is still a mystery. Uncle and Nephew Stewart whispered in the corner.
"Let's go," Felix said calmly.
"Where?" Melville Stewart asked, staring at his uncle out of the corner of his eye, and Blaze shook his head slightly, so he and the others set their sights on Felix again.
"Of course I will go wherever the Snake Wooden Staff is," Felix said. "As for who it belongs to, I can't control it. You can discuss it yourself."
These remarks are still tendentious, and both Yuria and Vice-Principal Greg are happy. Melville wanted to say something else, but was stopped by his uncle's arm, which seemed to acquiesce.
The group walked out of the minister's office. The door slammed shut from behind. .
Felix couldn't use magic anymore when he left the Ministry, so people greeted him warmly or saluted him along the way. When passing through the hall, several sharp-eyed Squibs noticed his back and showed suspicious eyes, but before they could react, they had already sat on the elevator and came out of the red phone booth.
"We'll see you at the gate of Ilvermorny, all right? I'm not very familiar with the road, and I need a guide - Yuria?"
Yuria nodded and walked to Felix. He glanced at the vice-principal. "Mr. Greg, then I'm with Mr. Hepp. You—"
"You don't have to worry about me." The vice-principal said with a smile. Spoulte glared at him, said nothing, and strode toward a deep alley.
Felix pulled Uriah to Apparate, and after several appearances, he had appeared at the U.S. border. Uriah looked around, trying to identify the direction, and then his mouth opened wider and wider.
"There seems to be one around here—"
black market……? He looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but wonder in his mind what Mr. Hepp was doing when he first came here. And he guessed that Mr. Haipu did not have the habit of going abroad to report... Well, at least this time there was a reason.
"I have fished nearby." Felix looked at the surrounding scenery with interest. The scenery near where they landed was very desolate, except for the salty waves and washed black stones, there was nothing to see. But memories add color to this deserted beach.
"It's up to you to lead the way."
"Of course."
It took some time in the middle, and finally, they appeared halfway up the mountain and saw a towering building group looming in the clouds and mist on the top of Mount Greylock. The last part of the road, the two walked all the way, and Felix also took the opportunity to learn about Yuria's recent progress.
"I only saw Voldemort once, the day he took the snakewood wand." Yuria said softly, when they were walking through the mountains, he introduced his experience in the past year, "Only I have seen his strength. , and after being cross-examined again and again, Congress appears to be concerned."
Felix knew that Voldemort's Slaughter Curse was terrifying. Moreover, the Snake Wooden Staff was revived after sleeping for hundreds of years, and he happened to meet the most suitable owner. Naturally, he seemed excited and cooperative. The unfortunate principal was not necessarily weak. , but absolutely careless.
"After that, I joined the Auror team, but I didn't actually do anything. Apart from training, the only meaningful thing was to lead the team to destroy a few black markets..." Speaking of which, Yuria glanced at Felix strangely.
"After a while, there was news of Voldemort looting everywhere. I applied to lead the pursuit, at least to find out his purpose, but it was rejected by Congress, and then around the end of June and the beginning of July, there was a vague news that Voldemort seems to have fallen."
"But the news hasn't been confirmed yet," he said calmly. "At that time, the Auror team was in name only, so I left and came to England with a few friends, just in time for you to capture the remnants of the Dark Lord... Dumbledore Mr. once called on all those threatened by war to unite, so I joined your actions and followed the dark wizard who had been arrested for half a month..."
Felix was a little stunned.
Yuria's experience is really strange. The Magical Congress of the United States is obviously pretending to form a 'revenge team' in order to quell the anger of the wizarding people in the country, but they don't want to make too much noise and attract Voldemort's attention-there is an interesting one. The question is, is the Magical Congress of America afraid of Voldemort?
Felix thought, not necessarily, but definitely extremely fearful. They may have learned more from Dumbledore, and knew how terrible Voldemort was, especially since many people in Congress may have personally experienced the pressure of another Dark Lord and would never let the war burn on their side.
"...Then Ms. Burns officially announced the end of the war. A few days later, Mr. Greg approached me, hoping that I could introduce Ms. Burns for him. You almost know what happened after that."
Yuria finished.
Felix nodded, and they made their way up a meandering stream, a white mist rising from above it. He asked again, "Is the Stewart family famous?"
Yuria looked strange.
"It's quite famous in some ways. The history goes back to the school's inception, when the two principals had four children: two adopted sons, and a pair of biological twin sisters."
"Ah, the Chawick Book," Felix said.
"It was written by Chawick Boot, a very capable wizard whose descendant family is still quite prominent in North America... Another adopted son was named Weber Boot, who grew up to be He hired an Auror, met a beautiful Scottish witch while on a mission, and returned to the UK with his wife after marriage. Of course, what I want to say has little to do with these two adopted sons.”
"The fate of the twin sisters is completely different, probably because they each inherited their parents' talents." Yuria said with emotion: "The youngest daughter Leona was born with magical abilities, and she stayed at the school to work as a black magician when she grew up. Defense professor, never married. Her twin sister, Martha, is a Squib, and Stewart's branch is from her—"
Felix nodded, "She finally chose to leave the magic world?"
He could fully understand the girl's mood. He could find two similar examples, one was Harry's mother and aunt, the blood sisters also had only one showing the talent for magic, and he speculated that their relationship was not good; the other was Filch , his living environment and Martha have something in common, they are all staying in an environment full of little wizards as a squib, while Filch is withdrawn and weird, and loves to anger people.
But Martha Stewart must be in an even more awkward position, since her parents were founders of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
...
"There was no special wand at that time." Yuria made a big joke, but her expression became serious immediately, "Masha married peacefully when she grew up, and she lived as a No-Major since then, and she and her family are still the same. Keep in touch, but that connection was broken with her passing."
"More than a hundred years later, things took a turn for the better. One of her descendants had the gift of magic, what we would later call the first head of the Stewart family. When the little boy showed magical abilities, his elders put the family together for generations. The circulating notes and legends told him that from the first day he entered the school, he claimed to be a descendant of the founder of the school, although that was true."
"His last name is a problem," Felix reminded Uriah.
Yuria pouted.
"That didn't matter, because the boy changed his surname back to Stewart when he came of age, in his words, 'in accordance with family tradition'. With that little fame, he later married a well-known magician The witch of the family was a wife, and with the help of the family of wives, the Stewart family was rebuilt. After that - there is speculation that he may have left a will before his death, because since then, each generation of Stewart's descendants has been as famous and magic as possible. Family marriage. This is almost an open secret and a joke, that is, how much of Ms. Isolt Thayer's blood does the Stewart family have?"
"Thanks to this strategy, however, the Stewart family and a number of magical families have managed to establish in-law relationships, although some hate their practice and are reluctant to intermarry with them. Including the Calderon-Bout family. But in general, Stewart has been influential in recent years."
"Like this matter, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is reluctant to make a big deal out of it, causing criticism..."
Ilvermorny Castle appeared in front of him, and Felix saw Mr. Greg and Stuart's uncle and nephew from a distance. They walked over, and Melville defiantly said, "You're too slow."
"Did you use the door key?" Felix raised his eyebrows, "That really saves effort."
Melville's face flushed red. Blaise Stewart took his nephew's shoulders and said politely, "Mr. Hepp, we're already there, and I'm curious, are you going to put the snakewood wand back in its place? I mean ...replant it?"
He said it humorously, pointing to a fenced-in site where there was a bottomless pothole.
"Almost," Felix said happily.
"Then I'll see." Bryce Stewart said with a shrug and narrowed eyes. He stopped talking, but looked around, as if expecting someone to jump out. At this time, the main door of Ilvermorny Castle opened, and a dozen people walked out from between the two tall stone statues of a man and a woman. They were wearing blue and raspberry red robes, the color of Felix's Ilvermorny school uniform. No stranger—he'd seen it many times during the Tournament, and he knew these people were supposed to be professors at the school.
"The one standing at the front is the new headmaster, Mr. Zekarya," Uriah said to Felix.
Felix looked curiously at the new headmaster of Ilvermorny, who looked in his sixties or seventies, with dark skin, a broad forehead, and gray hair. After introducing each other, Felix took out the snake wooden staff and walked to the deep pit. The people around him quieted down and observed him silently.
There was a strange hissing sound from Felix's mouth, like the sound of a snake spitting a letter, but the sense of oppression was much stronger. No one present would be afraid of a snake or two, but they couldn't ignore this hoarse, Evil voice.
The surrounding light dimmed, as if Felix was consuming the surrounding light.
"What kind of sorcery is this?" Melville shouted back, covering his ears. His uncle didn't even have time to stop him. Sure enough, several professors showed contempt.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Parseltongue," said the new principal, Zecharia, with a smile. "Lady Isolt Thayer's daughter, Leona, has inherited this rare skill. Bly Now, did you call anyone else?"
The silhouettes of the wizards suddenly appeared, and as soon as they appeared, they were stunned by this strange scene.
"They're my friends." Bryce Stewart forced a smile and said bluntly. Still staring at Felix, he had a premonition that his plan had gone awry. Felix Hepper can speak Parseltongue! What is his origin? Is he also a descendant of some Salazar Slytherin?
And he really seemed to be able to wield a Serpent Stick, like the Dark Lord. His heart was hot, maybe Parseltongue was the key to controlling the Snake Wooden Staff? But in the blink of an eye, his heart became cold - as Zecharia said, except for Isolt Thayer's daughter Leona, the Stewart family has never given birth to a descendant who mastered Parseltongue, Is the decision of the first generation of family owners really wrong? While reducing the number of squibs in the family, it also diluted its own pure blood?
The smile on Blaise's face disappeared, and he was so confused that he didn't even care about the allies he had summoned.
The snake wooden staff floated away from Felix's hand and was suspended in mid-air. The body of the staff was full of brilliance and dazzling light. The snake's roar was amplified thousands of times. messed up in a mess.
The surrounding wizards watched this scene in shock.
Finally, Felix finished chatting with the Snake Wooden Staff, and he said in Parselmouth: "Sleep, your body will rejuvenate with new life." The Snake Wooden Staff suddenly turned into a ball of fluorescence and fell straight into the depths. in the pit.
From the depths of the soil, a bright, vibrant grass-green light bloomed, and a fluffy green blade of grass suddenly grew out of the surrounding land, covering the bare pit in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, the brown soil near the center began to squirm, and a small dirt bulge swelled up. A bright green sapling emerged tenaciously, growing rapidly from the size of a fist, as if it had been hit by an expansion spell.
When the sapling grows to the height of a person and the thickness of an arm, the growth rate of snakewood slows down~www.novelhall.com~ Its leaves and rhizomes flash with fluorescent lines from time to time, and every time it flashes, it will be invisible. A little taller and wider.
It might last for an hour or two, or a week or two, but it's growing nicely, and it won't be long before it's lush, just like it used to be. Students of Ilvermorny can watch and even enjoy the shade of a tree.
Felix looked at his results and was very satisfied.
"This is the way to return to the original owner. The snake wooden staff fell into a deep sleep, and no one can wake it up. Oh, even the function has not changed, and its leaves still retain excellent therapeutic effects - Principal Zekarya , may I choose a branch as a souvenir?"
Headmaster Zekarya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is your right, Mr. Hepp. All Ilvermorny teachers and students should write a thank you note to you." "Oh, don't— —" Felix murmured, stepping on the soft grass and cutting off a branch about a foot long.
Neither of the two paid any attention to the Stewart family.
Felix put away the still-living snakewood branches and prepared to take them to Professor Sprout after returning to see if there was any possibility of transplantation. Better call Severus too... Dumbledore has recently expressed his desire to recruit a second Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and he should have known about it.
"Mr. Haipu, the school professor and I want to apply protective magic to the lost and recovered medical snakewood, why not let Yuria take you to the castle?" Principal Zekarya said with a smile: "Although the library in the school may Not as old as Hogwarts, but definitely not inferior in number, I believe you will definitely gain something.”
"That would be the best," Felix agreed readily. "I am very interested in Ilvermorny's collection of books."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The Magical Congress of the United States is obviously pretending to form a 'revenge team' in order to quell the anger of the wizarding people in the country, but they don't want to make too much noise and attract Voldemort's attention-there is an interesting one. The question is, is the Magical Congress of America afraid of Voldemort?Felix thought, not necessarily, but definitely extremely fearful. They may have learned more from Dumbledore, and knew how terrible Voldemort was, especially since many people in Congress may have personally experienced the pressure of another Dark Lord and would never let the war burn on their side."...Then Ms. Burns officially announced the end of the war. A few days later, Mr. Greg approached me, hoping that I could introduce Ms. Burns for him. You almost know what happened after that."Yuria finished.Felix nodded, and they made their way up a meandering stream, a white mist rising from above it. He asked again, "Is the Stewart family famous?"Yuria looked strange."It's quite famous in some ways. The history goes back to the school's inception, when the two principals had four children: two adopted sons, and a pair of biological twin sisters.""Ah, the Chawick Book," Felix said."It was written by Chawick Boot, a very capable wizard whose descendant family is still quite prominent in North America... Another adopted son was named Weber Boot, who grew up to be He hired an Auror, met a beautiful Scottish witch while on a mission, and returned to the UK with his wife after marriage. Of course, what I want to say has little to do with these two adopted sons."The fate of the twin sisters is completely different, probably because they each inherited their parents' talents." Yuria said with emotion: "The youngest daughter Leona was born with magical abilities, and she stayed at the school to work as a black magician when she grew up. Defense professor, never married. Her twin sister, Martha, is a Squib, and Stewart's branch is from her"Felix nodded, "She finally chose to leave the magic world?"He could fully understand the girl's mood. He could find two similar examples, one was Harry's mother and aunt, the blood sisters also had only one showing the talent for magic, and he speculated that their relationship was not good; the other was Filch , his living environment and Martha have something in common, they are all staying in an environment full of little wizards as a squib, while Filch is withdrawn and weird, and loves to anger people.But Martha Stewart must be in an even more awkward position, since her parents were founders of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...."There was no special wand at that time." Yuria made a big joke, but her expression became serious immediately, "Masha married peacefully when she grew up, and she lived as a No-Major since then, and she and her family are still the same. Keep in touch, but that connection was broken with her passing.""More than a hundred years later, things took a turn for the better. One of her descendants had the gift of magic, what we would later call the first head of the Stewart family. When the little boy showed magical abilities, his elders put the family together for generations. The circulating notes and legends told him that from the first day he entered the school, he claimed to be a descendant of the founder of the school, although that was true.""His last name is a problem," Felix reminded Uriah.Yuria pouted."That didn't matter, because the boy changed his surname back to Stewart when he came of age, in his words, 'in accordance with family tradition'. With that little fame, he later married a well-known magician The witch of the family was a wife, and with the help of the family of wives, the Stewart family was rebuilt. After that - there is speculation that he may have left a will before his death, because since then, each generation of Stewart's descendants has been as famous and magic as possible. Family marriage. This is almost an open secret and a joke, that is, how much of Ms. Isolt Thayer's blood does the Stewart family have?""Thanks to this strategy, however, the Stewart family and a number of magical families have managed to establish in-law relationships, although some hate their practice and are reluctant to intermarry with them. Including the Calderon-Bout family. But in general, Stewart has been influential in recent years.""Like this matter, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is reluctant to make a big deal out of it, causing criticism..."Ilvermorny Castle appeared in front of him, and Felix saw Mr. Greg and Stuart's uncle and nephew from a distance. They walked over, and Melville defiantly said, "You're too slow.""Did you use the door key?" Felix raised his eyebrows, "That really saves effort."Melville's face flushed red. Blaise Stewart took his nephew's shoulders and said politely, "Mr. Hepp, we're already there, and I'm curious, are you going to put the snakewood wand back in its place? I mean ...replant it?"He said it humorously, pointing to a fenced-in site where there was a bottomless pothole."Almost," Felix said happily."Then I'll see." Bryce Stewart said with a shrug and narrowed eyes. He stopped talking, but looked around, as if expecting someone to jump out. At this time, the main door of Ilvermorny Castle opened, and a dozen people walked out from between the two tall stone statues of a man and a woman. They were wearing blue and raspberry red robes, the color of Felix's Ilvermorny school uniform. No strangerhe'd seen it many times during the Tournament, and he knew these people were supposed to be professors at the school."The one standing at the front is the new headmaster, Mr. Zekarya," Uriah said to Felix.Felix looked curiously at the new headmaster of Ilvermorny, who looked in his sixties or seventies, with dark skin, a broad forehead, and gray hair. After introducing each other, Felix took out the snake wooden staff and walked to the deep pit. The people around him quieted down and observed him silently.There was a strange hissing sound from Felix's mouth, like the sound of a snake spitting a letter, but the sense of oppression was much stronger. No one present would be afraid of a snake or two, but they couldn't ignore this hoarse, Evil voice.The surrounding light dimmed, as if Felix was consuming the surrounding light."What kind of sorcery is this?" Melville shouted back, covering his ears. His uncle didn't even have time to stop him. Sure enough, several professors showed contempt."If I'm not mistaken, it should be Parseltongue," said the new principal, Zecharia, with a smile. "Lady Isolt Thayer's daughter, Leona, has inherited this rare skill. Bly Now, did you call anyone else?"The silhouettes of the wizards suddenly appeared, and as soon as they appeared, they were stunned by this strange scene."They're my friends." Bryce Stewart forced a smile and said bluntly. Still staring at Felix, he had a premonition that his plan had gone awry. Felix Hepper can speak Parseltongue! What is his origin? Is he also a descendant of some Salazar Slytherin?And he really seemed to be able to wield a Serpent Stick, like the Dark Lord. His heart was hot, maybe Parseltongue was the key to controlling the Snake Wooden Staff? But in the blink of an eye, his heart became cold - as Zecharia said, except for Isolt Thayer's daughter Leona, the Stewart family has never given birth to a descendant who mastered Parseltongue, Is the decision of the first generation of family owners really wrong? While reducing the number of squibs in the family, it also diluted its own pure blood?The smile on Blaise's face disappeared, and he was so confused that he didn't even care about the allies he had summoned.The snake wooden staff floated away from Felix's hand and was suspended in mid-air. The body of the staff was full of brilliance and dazzling light. The snake's roar was amplified thousands of times. messed up in a mess.The surrounding wizards watched this scene in shock.Finally, Felix finished chatting with the Snake Wooden Staff, and he said in Parselmouth: "Sleep, your body will rejuvenate with new life." The Snake Wooden Staff suddenly turned into a ball of fluorescence and fell straight into the depths. in the pit.From the depths of the soil, a bright, vibrant grass-green light bloomed, and a fluffy green blade of grass suddenly grew out of the surrounding land, covering the bare pit in the blink of an eye. Immediately afterwards, the brown soil near the center began to squirm, and a small dirt bulge swelled up. A bright green sapling emerged tenaciously, growing rapidly from the size of a fist, as if it had been hit by an expansion spell.When the sapling grows to the height of a person and the thickness of an arm, the growth rate of snakewood slows down~www.novelhall.com~ Its leaves and rhizomes flash with fluorescent lines from time to time, and every time it flashes, it will be invisible. A little taller and wider.It might last for an hour or two, or a week or two, but it's growing nicely, and it won't be long before it's lush, just like it used to be. Students of Ilvermorny can watch and even enjoy the shade of a tree.Felix looked at his results and was very satisfied."This is the way to return to the original owner. The snake wooden staff fell into a deep sleep, and no one can wake it up. Oh, even the function has not changed, and its leaves still retain excellent therapeutic effects - Principal Zekarya , may I choose a branch as a souvenir?"Headmaster Zekarya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is your right, Mr. Hepp. All Ilvermorny teachers and students should write a thank you note to you." "Oh, don't " Felix murmured, stepping on the soft grass and cutting off a branch about a foot long.Neither of the two paid any attention to the Stewart family.Felix put away the still-living snakewood branches and prepared to take them to Professor Sprout after returning to see if there was any possibility of transplantation. Better call Severus too... Dumbledore has recently expressed his desire to recruit a second Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and he should have known about it."Mr. Haipu, the school professor and I want to apply protective magic to the lost and recovered medical snakewood, why not let Yuria take you to the castle?" Principal Zekarya said with a smile: "Although the library in the school may Not as old as Hogwarts, but definitely not inferior in number, I believe you will definitely gain something."That would be the best," Felix agreed readily. "I am very interested in Ilvermorny's collection of books."
