Chapter 339 Ancient Magic Texts
Professor McGonagall prepared a dozen monster books for Andrew - but the professor told him not to rush and to first learn the art of human transfiguration before considering it.

As for the rest, he just needed to go to the office after the first class, use the time turner to go back to before class and start processing the documents.

In short, his career as a handyman has improved dramatically - before, he would come to work depending on when he had a break, but now he has to go to the office to work after his first big class.

"This is really a good thing. Why do I feel like I'm at work?"

But there was no need to show such emotion. He picked up a pile of class timetables - Andrew had already sorted them according to college and grade a few days ago, so he just had to distribute them this time.

"Let's go, Taylor."

Professor McGonagall led the way, followed by Andrew, holding the schedule, as they walked towards the auditorium.

It was not until they reached the Great Hall that Professor McGonagall took the Gryffindor timetable at the top and distributed it to the Gryffindor prefects.

As for Andrew, he began to look for the prefects of other colleges and hand over the things to them.

"Fortunately, my college prefect is very supportive, so I can have a hot meal."

When he was almost done, he sat down next to Hal and started eating.

...

"Andrew, what did you do? Did you dig a black lake?"

Hal's mouth opened wide, "I feel like you're going to eat an elephant in there."

Nonsense, I’m afraid I’ll be hungry for six hours in the morning. How can I resist if I don’t eat enough?
Not only do I have a full class schedule in the morning, but I also have to do odd jobs in the professor's office! The time converter is not good for hunger.

"First class in the morning, Ancient Magic Runes, who are they?"

"It's just Hughes, you two go ahead,"

"Okay," Andrew hurriedly finished the last bite of ham and eggs, "after we finish eating, we'll have class. Let's go!"

There are two elective courses per week, but they are divided into classes, with each class having one large class.

Because of different personal electives, students can choose between classes A and B - this allows students whose classes conflict with each other to choose one. Of course, choosing all of them will inevitably lead to conflicts.

Andrew and Hughes's schedules didn't conflict. Both of them were in Class A and they took their textbooks with them and headed to the classroom.

"Ancient magic runes," Andrew walked slowly while thinking about the course, "I haven't read the textbook much, Hughes, do you understand?"

"I do know a little bit," Hughes said in a low voice, "but it's not my main research direction - I prefer the history of magic in the Roman Empire, and runes are actually more inclined to translation."

"translate?"

"Yes, the translation of magic characters, the classic runic content, I suspect it should have some connection with Latin, but the current translation has no connection. However, my summer research may be related to ancient Germanic, but I have only read a little bit of the textbook, so I can only confirm that there is a little connection at present."

Hughes shook his head. "You know our professor is Professor Bathsheda Baburin, right?"

"Well, I understand a little, but I'm not sure."

Andrew had indeed heard some rumors, but it was not appropriate to gossip in a place like the corridor - no, not even in the dormitory.

Although this was not the topic of the office, Hal, who aspired to be a reporter, would spread every piece of news - if he got the professor's gossip out, he would be done for this semester.

"Professor Bathsheda Babbling, although she teaches runes, is said to be good at dark magic and has a good relationship with Durmstrang...so many professors suspect that her dark magic level may be second only to Professor Snape."

'There is also a rumor that the professor seems to be a supporter of Grindelwald's theory, but this is nonsense, after all, no one talks about it. ''There is also a rumor that the professor is rather old-fashioned. After all, he teaches serious linguistics, so he is also very serious in his work... But I have never dealt with him. '

But these things are just random gossips I learned from professors, so don't take them seriously.

"You'd better see it with your own eyes."

"Let's go and find a good seat. I don't like the front that much. What about you?"

"Same."

-

'Hiss, is there a meeting in our hospital?'

When Andrew walked into the classroom, he was a little dumbfounded - looking around, he saw a sea of ​​Ravenclaw students, almost half of them.

"This way, Taylor, Adam!"

Everyone knew each other and naturally formed a group. Andrew and his friends easily sat together with the people from their own college, with him sitting inside and Hughes sitting outside.

"So, who wants to take first place in this course?"

The classmates next to them whispered and teased - after all, Andrew and Hughes each held the first place in a single subject.

"And Miss Granger, forget it. I'm going to learn from the French anyway."

Joyful laughter instantly rang out among the crowd.

"If you don't dare, I will!"

"come on."

Andrew made a gesture of encouragement - his reputation was still good, wasn't it enough that he could get along well with his own academy?
But the happy moment was very short-lived, because the professor arrived in almost no time.

Professor Bathsheda Baburin was a woman of about forty years old. Her eyes were not very sharp, but her tone was full of irrefutable power.

"Good morning. I am your professor of ancient runes, Bathsheda Baburin."

She didn't even use magic, she just wrote her name on the blackboard with chalk, and then wrote another set of words in a pattern that Andrew couldn't quite understand.

Demiguise
Hydra
"This is the first set of words you will learn - one is zero and one is nine. This is your introduction to runes."

The professor looked at the students. "Runes are a nearly obsolete, dead language, but that doesn't mean they have lost their magic."

"On the contrary, this strange symbol is a symbol that must be used in alchemical manufacturing. If you pursue more knowledge, it is a course you cannot escape."

"What's in the textbook is generally accepted, but I'm not going to talk about those views. You can watch it yourself. What I'm going to talk about are my opinions that have not yet been concluded."

Professor Baburin spoke in a firm tone, suppressing all the students so that they dared not make any noise.

"The magic system is constantly evolving. In the beginning, spells were not as convenient as they are today, nor were they as clearly classified as they are now. In the ancient magic system, runes were used extensively. It was not until the short spells brought by the Latin language broke through the limit and made magic casting faster that the rune system was gradually abandoned, stopped developing, and even abandoned on a large scale."

"Yes, I support that bold conjecture. Runes are developed from ancient Germanic runes and simplified into various symbols."

Andrew looked at Hughes. This view was very close to what Hughes said last semester!
'This is where things get interesting.'
