Chapter 285 Ancient Runes and Professor Babling

Although Rita Skeeter's report created quite a buzz, it didn't last long.

Mainly since the second week, it has been raining at Hogwarts.

The gloomy weather and continuous rain made everyone feel unhappy, and the damp cold air penetrated into the castle, and many little wizards caught a cold.

Madam Pomfrey had to brew a large amount of refreshing potion in advance. Although this potion has an immediate effect, people who drink it will have white smoke coming out of their ears for several hours.

George also fell into the trap. He joked to himself that he now looked like an old steam train.

Fred found it very interesting, and even though he didn't have a cold, he also asked Madam Pomfrey for a bottle of refreshing potion.

Then the two of them smoked together...

In this case, Kyle finally waited for his first ancient rune lesson.

The ancient rune classroom is on the third floor of the west tower. The professor in charge of this course, Bastida Barbling, is a witch with gray pupils and about forty years old.

But there are rumors that she has been a professor at Hogwarts for more than fifty years, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

As the most difficult subject at Hogwarts, there are very few people in the ancient runes classroom, only sixteen people.

Because there are so few people choosing this course, this is already the owner of four colleges.

After class, Professor Babuling glanced at everyone, a little surprised.

"Are there so many people this year?"

Her voice was strange, like it was coming from a long tunnel.

"That's a lot..."

Kangna, who also chose this course, whispered: "Are there so few people choosing this course?"

Although her voice was very quiet, Professor Babling heard her.

"Last year there were nine, and the year before that was even less... only seven." She said, "This classroom is rarely filled with ten people."

Professor Babling was not as serious as she seemed. After answering Kangna's doubts, she half-jokingly said: "Sometimes I even wonder if five grades can be taught together, so that I only need One class was enough, and the remaining time was just enough for me to take a vacation to another country.

Unfortunately, your Headmaster Dumbledore always disagrees. "

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

After everyone calmed down, Professor Babuling said: "Okay, now who can tell me what ancient runes are."

Qiu, who was sitting next to Kang Na, was the first to raise her hand.

"Ancient runes are also called ancient runes, or runes. This type of writing was used in many books before the Middle Ages.

In addition, different runes arranged into special symbols will produce specific magic power, so it is also widely used in alchemy. "

"Exactly, two points for Ravenclaw."

Professor Babling said: “The application of runes in alchemy involves more complex knowledge, so in most cases, it is usually used to translate those ancient documents. ☜♦

But if you want to learn..."

She knocked on the table.

On the walls of the classroom, several symbols suddenly lit up, and then a bright ball of light appeared in the center of the ceiling.

"...I can also teach you."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Being able to cast spells without a wand is a skill they only dream of.

"Professor, I want to learn this!" a Gryffindor student said excitedly.

"Do you think so too?" Professor Babling asked.

Everyone nodded together.

"Okay then, I can simply teach some basic content, but you have to be prepared." Professor Babuling glanced at all the students with a smile.

New 🅇.🄲🄾🄼

"Let's get started, I can't wait..." The other party patted his chest confidently.

But half an hour later, he regretted it.

too difficult!

There are a large number of those magic words, and each magic word represents at least five or more meanings, and some even have as many as a dozen.

Just remembering these things made his mind a mess.

Plus, it's even more complicated to arrange them correctly into those special symbols.

It is obviously the same magic text, but according to different meanings, the way of writing is actually very different.

After half the class, he felt as if he hadn't remembered anything, or that everything he had remembered before had been completely forgotten within a few minutes.

Sure enough, there is a reason why there are so few people in this class.

Too complicated……

Finally, when get out of class was over, when he raised his head from "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts", his face was filled with a confused expression of...who am I, where am I, and what did I just read.

Of course, so does everyone else.

"About alchemical applications, that's pretty much it."

On the podium, Professor Babuling said with a smile: "But normally, in our class, we don't need to remember the order and writing method. We only need to understand the meaning of each magic text.

This is much simpler for you. "

The classroom was quiet. Apparently, the students' understanding of "simple" was somewhat different from the professor's.

Just when everyone was packing up their things silently and preparing to leave the classroom, Professor Babling suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

She said casually: "If you feel that this course is not suitable for you, you can also go to your respective dean to apply for a course change... I will agree to it before October."

Some people looked happy and suddenly showed expressions of thinking.

After leaving the classroom, Kyle looked at Kangna and Qiu and asked, "How do you feel? Do you want to change classes?"

"Of course not," Connor said without hesitation.

"That's right, why do you want to change courses?" Qiu said with a smile: "Although it is a bit difficult, Magic Text is really interesting. No wonder Cedric would strongly recommend this course to me, and..."

She looked at Kyle and Connor, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm a Ravenclaw, I can't lose to you Hufflepuffs."

"Hey, the academy attacks, right?" Kyle said angrily.

"Of course not." Qiu said with a smile: "I mean, Ravenclaw has never been afraid of knowledge. The more complex the content, the more interested we are."

"That's true..." Kyle shrugged.

Half of those sixteen people were Ravenclaws.

"However, I always feel that something is wrong with Professor Babuling."

Kangna said thoughtfully: “In other courses, the first class is the easiest, but she did the opposite.

I have read "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" before. The issue of writing magic texts in it is the last thing that needs to be learned, and it is only briefly mentioned. "

"That's right..." Qiu nodded, "Normal ancient runes are not that difficult at all, and Professor Babuling's last words... I always feel that she wants students to change courses."

"However, there are very few people choosing this course."

"It's just that we think it's less."

Kyle whispered: "Don't forget what she said before class...there are rarely more than ten people in that classroom."

"Perhaps we can ask Cedric and Fred. Maybe they were like us when they took the ancient runes class for the first time."
