Chapter 152 Ancient Runes
Saying goodbye to Harry, who was still a little dazed, and Ron and Neville who were comforting him.
Without waiting for Hermione, Light ran off to the ancient runes class alone.
It was not until the course started that he realized it was not surprising that this course was not a major and it did not teach much about magic.
Compared to the magical runes taught by Borgin, the ancient runes taught here are simply not as good as them.
The ancient runes taught here do not contain any magic power, but are more used for reading and studying ancient manuscripts and magical materials.
After all, in ancient times, almost all wizards understood runes and they were widely circulated.
To some extent, it is a subdivision of the history of magic, and can be regarded as another learning channel for wizards who are interested in the history of magic.
The course was taught by Bathsheda Baburin, a middle-aged female professor.
She had a lot of teaching experience, and at the beginning of her lecture, she described the origin of runes:
Runes originated from Odin, the god-king in Norse mythology. He prayed to the world tree and the first runes represented the source of magic.
Later, because the first generation of characters was too powerful, they were constantly split up, causing the current runes to lose their powerful magic.
Students are also encouraged to explore the hidden power of ancient runes. Perhaps you can unearth the strongest first-generation runes.
It was obvious that she wanted to arouse students' interest by making big promises.
However, she did achieve her goal and greatly stimulated students' interest in learning.
During the whole class, everyone except Wright was taking notes diligently.
Light, who did not take notes, naturally had his own ideas. He found that some of the analyses of the magic runes he had learned overlapped with runes.
However, there are more differences. In this case, it is naturally impossible for Wright to bring the magic runes of power and memorize the runes of unknown depth.
After class, Hermione, who had been hiding at the back of the classroom to attend class secretly, got up and left in a hurry.
The professor, who was still organizing course materials at the podium, was not surprised at all, but rather acted as if he had expected it.
And Wright did the same, hurried to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.
Soon after arriving in the classroom, Light heard the students around him discussing Harry's ominous prophecy.
"It seems that news spreads very quickly! Everyone knows it after just one class." Wright said to himself.
As the center of the prophecy, Harry was as restless as a chair with nails on it.
The discussion about Harry ended with the arrival of Professor McGonagall.
In class, Professor McGonagall explained the knowledge of Animagus and tried to arouse students' interest.
He also demonstrated in front of the little wizards how to transform from a human into a tabby cat.
However, the result was unexpected, the students in the class were still focused on Harry's prediction.
Almost no one cares about this lonely cat on the podium.
Professor McGonagall, who didn't understand why, turned back into a human and consulted the little wizards about the situation.
After understanding the whole story from their explanations, Professor McGonagall said unhappily:
'Trelawney is a liar and her predictions are not to be trusted.'
Under pressure from the professor, the student who believed in the prophecy said nothing, but this was strongly endorsed by Hermione.
……
After class and lunch, Wright and his group took their books and walked out of the castle, ready to go to Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.
On the way, Harry and Ron held tightly onto the noisy monster books in their hands. Even though they were tied up with ropes, they were still full of energy.
Hermione, who was less powerful, was also struggling to hold the monster book with its mouth sealed in her arms as it was still struggling.
Seeing Wright holding the book in one hand with a relaxed look on his face, Ron immediately shouted, "Wright, hurry up, tell me the secret."
Seeing the three people staring at him eagerly, Wright picked up the monster book in his hand and started to explain and demonstrate at the same time.
"Just touch its spine gently with your hand, and it will be very obedient!"
The three of them watched as Wright's hand moved across the spine of the book. The monster book, which had been silent, shook for a while and then returned to its original state.
“Great, it really works!”
Ron was the first to take out the monster book and try it. He looked at the book that became extremely obedient after shaking it and said happily.
"Wright, how did you know this method?" Harry asked curiously, holding the book that had become calm.
He was sure that even the bookstore employees didn't know this trick.
You know, during his last vacation in Knockturn Alley, many employees were bitten badly by these monster books.
"This book has been brought to life by some kind of magic. Once you master the method, it will be easy to tame it."
"And I know a little bit of alchemy, so it was easy for me to find its characteristics and weaknesses."
"Really? I don't know who designed a book like this." Hermione stroked the fluffy monster book that had calmed down in her arms, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Just like that, the four of them chatted and soon saw Hagrid's hut, which was unusually lively at this time.
There were about forty or fifty people, and it seemed that many of them were very interested in the magical creatures class, an extracurricular activity course.
The Snake Court wizards were just standing together, especially Malfoy who was making faces among them. Harry's mood suddenly turned bad when he saw them.
The tall Hagrid, wearing a mole coat, accompanied by the hound Fang, directed the students to the Forbidden Forest.
All the little wizards were a little worried, but also followed Hagrid with anticipation.
After all, each of them had been warned that the Forbidden Forest was dangerous and not to enter it casually.
They walked with excitement, but they were disappointed after walking for a while because Hagrid did not take them into the Forbidden Forest.
Instead, he led them along the edge of the forbidden forest, and soon they came to a fenced area next to the woods.
Hagrid, the leader, stopped in front of the fence and said in a loud voice: "Everyone gather around!"
The little wizards gathered around obediently. Hagrid smiled innocently and said, "Okay, open your textbooks first!"
Among the young wizards, almost no one opened the monster book, and they were all looking around for help.
"Ah! Didn't you open them?" Hagrid said in panic when he saw the scene.
At this time, Harry and Ron saw Hagrid so panicked, and immediately raised their open books and gestured frantically.
