Chapter 721 Professor Babuling’s warning (page 12)
It had been more than a week since Dumbledore last left the Headmaster's Office. During this period, he had returned to give Harry a lesson and then disappeared again.
As for the content of their class, Kyle didn't know, but he could probably guess it...it was nothing more than a frank conversation with Harry.
The content may be about the Order of the Phoenix, or it may be about Horcruxes... After all, when Harry didn't learn Occlumency some time ago, many things were hidden from him, and Harry was still worried about this.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of this class was to let him untie his knot. The specific extent of this would depend on what Dumbledore wanted Harry to know.
But this has nothing to do with Kyle.
On Wednesday afternoon, after the ancient rune class ended, Kyle found Professor Babling who was about to escape with a piece of parchment filled with magic formulas.
Yes...run away.
Ever since Kyle asked a few questions about the arrangement of magic symbols in the first class of this school year, she didn't want to see this student that much.
It's not that she's afraid of being embarrassed and losing face. Professor Babling's knowledge of ancient runes may be higher than Dumbledore's. Kyle's problem is nothing to her.
Professor Babling just doesn't want to work overtime. Normally, she leaves right after class and never misses a minute.
But if Kyle's question is answered, it won't be a matter of wasting a minute, half an hour is considered a small amount.
Unfortunately, Kyle was sitting at the door, and Apparition was not allowed in the castle. Her plan to get off work on time had failed as soon as she stepped out of the classroom.
Professor Babling lowered her head and glanced at the parchment handed over by Kyle, and her face suddenly fell.
"Original magic text..." She said almost subconsciously: "What do you think this useless thing is doing, a waste of time?"
"Ah?" Kyle blinked. He thought about the possibility for many minutes, but he didn't expect Professor Babling to say that, and the tone didn't sound like a perfunctory one. She really felt that Kyle was wasting his time.
"That's right." Professor Babling explained: "In the view of those medieval scholars led by Rowena Ravenclaw, the original magic text has great disadvantages. I don't recommend that you waste it on it. time."
"What do you mean?" Kyle still didn't understand.
"That's it..." Professor Babuling was a little more patient and said: "The so-called original magic text is, to put it bluntly, a kind of magic text that the ancient wizards themselves worked out.
"But due to the limitations of the times, these words have not been effectively unified and planned. In other words, they are too confusing. If you do not understand its correct meaning, even a slight mistake may lead to the magic runes being broken. collapse.
"It is precisely because of this that the great Rowena Ravenclaw summoned all the scholars at that time to jointly plan and organize the original magic texts into a volume. This is what we have learned now."
When saying this, Professor Babling gave Kyle a meaningful look, "I remember that more than fifty years ago, I once said something to a student, and now I also give this sentence to you. …
"There are naturally reasons why certain things will be eliminated. Don't pursue the so-called power too much, because when you are immersed in the invincible joy, you often unknowingly bring about more terrifying things, dragging you down. Into the abyss of magic.”
Looking into Professor Babling's light gray eyes, Kyle subconsciously took a step back, scratched his hair and said.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I wanted to learn this because I read something written in original magic script."
"Oh?" Professor Babuling raised her eyebrows, "Original documents from at least 1,300 years ago are rare... but there is no need to go out of your way to learn them."
She grabbed it at the side and instantly had a thick book in her hand, and then threw the book to Kyle.
"This is the original magic text comparison table. Just compare it and see for yourself. There is no need to waste time learning it.
"Let me make it clear, even if you insist, I will not waste my time teaching you... No one can take up my time, not even Dumbledore!"
Professor Babling's patience was basically exhausted here. When Kyle was checking the comparison table, she had already left the classroom without looking back.
By the time Kyle reacted and chased him out, there was no one in the corridor.
Kyle sighed. Professor Babling didn't have an office, or she never went to her office. In this situation, no one could find her unless it was the next class. What stood out was that she was a professor who would never procrastinate.
Kyle stood in the empty corridor, thinking again about what she had said before.
Fifty years ago, I reminded a student, who was that person, Tom Riddle?
It was just right in terms of time, and more importantly, Riddle also had a deep understanding of magic texts, which Kyle had a say in.
But Professor Babling didn't want to say more, and Kyle couldn't ask.
He glanced at the book in his hand, then stuffed it into the box without a care in the world.
At least this trip was fruitful. He knew that he didn't need to study in depth the original magic texts that seemed mysterious but had actually been eliminated. This could be regarded as saving him a lot of time.
After Kyle left the corridor, Professor Babling, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom.
She looked in the direction where Kyle left, and her eyes, which had always been calm, gradually became more curious, as if she had seen some interesting plot.
She never thought that a second student would notice the original magic text when they were in school. At the same time, she was also curious whether Kyle's choice was the same as the previous one.
Of course, no matter what Kyle chooses or decides, she will not intervene and will only quietly be a bystander, just like she did fifty years ago.
……
On the other side, Kyle jogged all the way to the Charms classroom, but despite this, he was still ten minutes late.
"Sorry, Professor Flitwick, I asked Professor Barbling some questions and didn't pay attention to the time." Kyle explained standing at the door.
"Remember to come early next time, at least not to delay other students' class." Professor Flitwick said, and also gave him a moderate punishment.
"One point from Hufflepuff, okay, come in."
Kyle nodded and walked into the classroom.
"Where did we just talk about..." Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to him, "By the way, cast spells without a wand."
He continued: "This is also an ability that a wizard needs to master. Now can anyone tell me the benefits of casting spells without a wand."
"It will prevent the wizard from being trapped after losing his wand." Qiu raised his hand and said.
"Yes, that's it, Ravenclaw plus five points." Professor Flitwick said, "For a wizard, nothing is more terrifying than losing his wand.
"At this time, wandless spellcasting became the last resort. I remember the battle when I became the champion of the duel competition, but my opponent took away the wand due to a moment of negligence.
