"A certain Hogwarts Rune Professor (

Ilvermorny's library occupies the center of the building complex on the west side of the castle. From the outside, it extends in all directions and extends out of four corridor-shaped exits.

The interior of the library is a spacious round-shaped building that is divided into three floors, which is somewhat similar to the structure of the sword castle. The first floor is a spacious reading area. There are neat tables and chairs in the middle of the hall, and the surrounding areas are divided into grids according to functions. Going up the circular staircase, there are rows of brown bookshelves standing on the second and third floors, and the collection is very rich.

Felix stayed inside these days.

It was summer vacation, and there was no one in the library for most of the day. If he was tired of reading, he would walk among the bookshelves over and over again, capturing the emotions of the Ilvermorny students left here, which often brought him novelty. feel.

For example—even though they had never met, Felix had already known several Ilvermorny students. They always sat in the same place, and their thoughts as they read turned into a lasting beauty for Felix to enjoy.

When Felix described what they looked like, they were, unsurprisingly, some of the best students.

Yuria was amazed at his ability.

Felix has seen a total of three wizarding schools' libraries - Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Ilvermorny - each with its own characteristics, distinguished by the decoration style alone, Hogwarts is towering and ancient, Beauxbatons is elegant and comfortable, Ilvermorny is more modern.

This may be because Ilvermorny's library was established in the seventeenth century and referred to many Muggle libraries, so both the spatial arrangement and book indexing are better, and the number of books may be twice that of Hogwarts. three times.

Of course, compared with Hogwarts, which was founded around the tenth century, the proportion of ancient books here is obviously smaller, but Felix found research and records of aboriginal local magic in a small area. He has a lot of inspiration. .

Magic developed in North America later than elsewhere.

Felix looked at the history in this area and recovered a superficial truth in his heart. Before the European Muggle colonists invaded, the representative group of local magic was the Indian aborigines. These aborigines did not have magic wands and used magic in primitive and rough ways. Moreover, because of the tribal way of living, magic is only concentrated in the hands of a few people, coupled with poor communication - there were about 160 languages ​​and 1,200 dialects at that time, all of which made the local magic civilization completely absent. integrated and developed.

Nonetheless, there is still a lot of merit.

The founders of Ilvermorny originally wanted to build a place to provide a family magical education, but to satisfy the wishes of their two adopted sons, they came up with a similar structure modeled after Hogwarts - Felix reads It's funny here, because Isolt Thayer never attended Hogwarts, and all the common sense she knows is what that evil aunt Gormley Gaunt told her, after she had made a Muley described Hogwarts as a "dangerous place full of mudbloods and egalitarianism", and tore up the admission letter sent by Hogwarts to Isaot, which made 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. 'The concept exists only in the imagination of the founder of Ilvermorny.

What's more interesting is that the curses and abuses in Aunt Gormley's mouth not only didn't work, but made young Isolt think there was heaven.

She told her two adopted sons about Hogwarts she imagined, and the whole family was fascinated, so there was 'Ilvermorny', the four plausible houses, the sorting ceremony, and most importantly The -- wand. They did a decent job, and the Aboriginal people nearby came here, which made the entire Ilvermorny School finally get rid of the embarrassing scene of not even filling four colleges because there were only two students (though they didn't care. ), Isolt himself and his two adopted sons who grew up tried to combine local magic with European magic, forming a unique characteristic of Ilvermorny.

Those native magics—such as primitive magical rituals, hunting battle songs developed by imitating the roars of magical animals, and techniques for casting spells using materials and organs of magical animals and plants... Many things are specious, but Felix still records Down, intend to leave it to try later.

He constructed a sound magic based on Parseltongue and the chirping of a bad bird. Unlike the Amplifying Curse, it is more similar to the Parseltongue Curse Voldemort once used on him, and Felix also tried to incorporate the theory of sound waves in physics into it.

Carrying magical power with sound waves is not only faster, but also more secretive...

For example, once the bat's ultrasound is combined with the magic of the thinking house, Felix can quickly construct the surrounding real environment in his brain and cover it with illusions. The effect of this magic is terrifying: when facing Felix , the enemy may never be able to tell what is real and what is unreal.

Even if it is only the simplest positioning function, it is difficult for spells such as invisibility cloak and illusion spell to work, not to mention the damage caused by large-scale infrasound waves to the human body.

Felix reckoned he had few chances to use it, but the joy of solving puzzles and constructing a new discipline kept him addicted. He just made a trip back to Hogwarts and gave the Snakewood branch to Professor Sprout.

"It is extremely rare for a plant to be affected by powerful magic power for a long time while retaining its vigorous vitality." Professor Sprout said excitedly, wishing to hug Felix and kiss him twice.

"Can I grow?" Felix hurriedly changed the subject.

"It's easy to survive, but to retain its magical properties, it has to be cared for, and it can take a year or two to nurture, which is quite a challenge for me," Sprout said, though. The professor smiled, not worried at all, "I have to go to Severus, I found he is very talented in this area, and Keridi can testify!"

She left in a hurry.

After Felix re-fortified classroom No. 7, he returned to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During this period, Principal Ilvermorny was interviewed by the outside world, and for the first time revealed a "dusty history".

"The snake-wood wand meant childhood misfortune to Lady Isolt Thayer," said Principal Zecharia solemnly. "Her evil aunt took this wand and killed Isolt's parents and used Cruel punishment tormented her - until she had the courage to escape."

“Although this wand helped Ms. Isolt Thayer when she fled, she ultimately chose to bury her past with her husband and live happily ever after. Looking back on this history, I am always grateful: because Her choice not only created a new Ilvermorny, but also left us a magical plant with powerful healing properties."

"Ms Isolt Thayer must have been more gratified to see this change than the shadow of the wand - what we need is not violence, but healing medicine."

"In addition, I would also like to thank Mr. Dumbledore and Mr. Hepp..."

The impact of these words is far-reaching.

At least, the members of the Stewart family who have been jumping up and down and active as victims of oppression for the past few days have finally stopped, and the final result, as Principal Zekaraya said, "The evergreen snakewood tree will stand forever. Witness the friendship of two wizarding schools in front of Ilvermorny Castle..."

Uriah also succeeded in becoming a director of the Division of Magical Law Enforcement for her role in this incident. Although he is still a long way from his dream of "changing the living conditions of wizards in America", he is at least on the right track.

And his first assignment was to represent the Magical Congress of the United States as an **** to the Archmage Mr. Felix Happ.

The two took this opportunity to chat a lot about the political environment within Congress. Perhaps because of a deeper understanding of the operating logic of the Magical Congress, a huge magical authority, Yuria's ideas have become more objective and pragmatic.

It's a difference in perspective.

In the past, Uriah, and even the members of the Reformation, could only ask questions, find problems, and resent and resent the fact that the Magic Council was comfortable with the status quo, but now their thinking has become how to solve problems.

"It's very tricky." Yuria sighed, "There are many practical reasons for the closed magical environment and strict laws in the United States. The more I dig, the more headaches I have."

Felix made an attitude of listening intently.

"The Magical Congress of the United States restricts wizards from No-Maji families out of fear of a repeat of the events of the Puritans and Purifiers..."

This is another piece of dusty history. Felix nodded and thought, simply put, the Puritans are some extreme religious people, they are Muggles, and they are keen to accuse others of using witchcraft in history, and these people's attitudes towards wizards can be imagined.

It is worth mentioning that when the founder of Ilvermorny, Isolt Thayer, came to North America, the 'Mayflower' cruise ship she took carried a lot of Puritans. These Puritans were persecuted in the British mainland. Turn around and persecute others in the New World.

And the purgers are sorcerers. Or, once a wizard. They were originally a group of wizard mercenaries from different countries. They were profit-seeking, and even sold their compatriots for the bounty, such as selling wizards to Puritans to burn to death.

After the establishment of the Magical Congress of the United States, it began to liquidate and execute traitors among these wizards, but some escaped punishment. They dared not show their magic any more, but disguised themselves as Muggles, but the matter did not end with their deaths. , these wizard traitors not only did not repent, but instead extended their hatred of the Magical Congress of the United States to the wizards of North America, and passed this hatred from generation to generation.

Several of the more serious exposure incidents in the history of American magic are almost all related to the descendants of the purgers. The most far-reaching one, the entire wizarding world was shocked and feared, the Magical Congress of the United States received a severe warning from the International Federation of Wizards, and thus promulgated the notorious Rappaport Law, forcing No-Maj and the wizarding world. Strict separation to avoid such incidents from happening again.

"In this country, some No-Maj families have never seen magic, but they firmly believe that magic exists." Yuria said sadly: "It's just that they believe that all wizards should be eliminated."

Felix said slowly, "I heard Dumbledore mention that the people of the Americas seem to be more difficult to deceive and deceive by magic than people elsewhere..."

"That's why," said Uriah, "but it's more than that—when all the above are put together, there is a terrifying threat to the wizards of America—"

"Muggle government," Felix said solemnly.

"That's right," Uriah affirmed. "Wizards are not a secret in the eyes of the Muggle government, at least to those at the top." He added, "Since the independence of the Muggle government, there have been several vicious incidents on both sides. Conflict. The Muggle government wanted to crack the secrets of wizards, or force wizards to serve them, but we resolutely resisted. Congress secretly destroyed some laboratories and erased the memories of some people... In short, all kinds of open and secret battles were once approaching the brink of war. …”

"I've heard a saying," he lowered his voice, "that in 1892, the then president of the Magical Congress of the United States and the president of the Muggle government negotiated a non-interference agreement in secret, which continues to this day."

"Can I see this agreement?" Felix said cheerily.

"This matter can't be found in the official historical records at all. I also heard it from an old man in Congress. As for whether it is true, I can't judge." Yuria shook his head and said, "I remember the textbook. The reason for the relocation of the fifth Congressional headquarters is the 'Bigfoot Rebellion'... Anyway, the Magical Congress of the United States has completely moved away from Washington, the center of Muggle politics, since then, and moved to New York, and has not moved since."

"It's really strange to hear you say that."

Felix groped his chin, knowing that the Magic Congress of the United States had only been established three hundred years ago. As a result, in the past two hundred years, he had moved five times due to various "exotic reasons", but the British Ministry of Magic had never done this once.

What the **** happened in 1892?

At that time, Dumbledore was only eleven years old~www.novelhall.com~ had just entered school. He may not know much about this history, and as far as Felix knew, Dumbledore did not travel according to the school tradition after graduation. It was Grindelwald, who was once entrenched in the United States in order to develop his 'career'. Well, the old man was arrested here for the first time, and Newt contributed a lot...

Felix and Dumbledore didn't tell Grindelwald—the memory of a certain Fantastic Beasts lover in Classroom 7 was alive and kicking—and they invariably chose to remain silent.

Felix left Ilvermorny in mid-August.

Before parting, the headmaster of Ilvermorny kept him several times, hoping that he could give some open classes for Ilvermorny's students, but it was summer vacation, so we had to make another appointment.

However, this incident made Felix think about it. With that international exchange activity, the influence of ancient rune has expanded to the entire wizarding world, but if you want to make this subject popular, you still have to put your hope in school education. .

Beauxbatons recruited seven or eight Hogwarts graduates in one go this year.

After returning to the familiar campus, Felix didn't catch his breath, and the Ancient Rune Yearbook activity began. Many students—such as Harry who had just finished traveling—was surprised to find that many students who had just graduated a year or two The classmates got together again because of this event.

These students were deeply branded by Felix Heppe, who taught them by himself. If they had to find a different group of people, it would be those from the Ancient Rune Society. Harry never imagined he would be talking to a bunch of old men and old ladies about the future of ancient runes.

"Some people are old enough to be my great-grandfathers," Ron whispered to Harry.

But no matter how strange it felt, three days later, the "Ancient Magician Yearbook" with their names was published in the world.
