A certain Hogwarts professor of runes.

If we're talking about what he's best at, it's undoubtedly Quidditch, but he's unsure if he'll ever become a professional Quidditch player.

Finally, after discussing it with Ron, he chose the same few new courses—Protection of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Ancient Runes.

He felt that if these courses were difficult to learn, at least there was someone willing to help him in a friendly way.

Dean, who also grew up among Muggles, told the two, "Except for ancient runes, I choose them with my eyes closed."

Other students, influenced by Felix, also tended to prioritize ancient runes.

A huge surprise awaits him when school starts next year.

Chapter 150 Metamorphosis

With less than a week left in the Easter holiday, Felix suddenly abandoned all activities and hid in the Room of Requirement to practice memory magic and Patronus Charms. He had a premonition that his magic was about to undergo a qualitative change.

It was a strange feeling, with both fluency and awkwardness appearing on him at the same time.

As time went by, even students who happened to meet Felix in the corridor noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Professor? Are you feeling unwell?" Hermione asked cautiously, looking into his silvery eyes.

When Professor Hyp looked over, she felt as if her thoughts had been easily read.

Felix turned his head and said gently, "It's nothing, just some magic has improved, it'll be fine in a while."

On the last day of the Easter holiday, the House of Requirement

At this moment, he sat in a large bronze armchair, leaning forward, his slender fingers supporting his chin, seemingly lost in eternal thought.

A series of ripples spread through Felix's heart as memories of using the Guardian Angel Spell flooded back.

He first successfully manifested the form of a guardian deity in fifth grade;

Accompanying you during nighttime excursions through the forbidden forest;

Then there was the battle when they encountered the Ground Bat during their graduation trip;

And countless hours of practice, day after day...

Every wave of the magic wand, every moment of reflection and insight, every moment of joy, every time I watch it take flight across the sky…

These past memories, like a volcanic eruption, surged into my mind in an instant.

But Felix was no longer as helpless as he was in his fourth year. He had a wealth of experience, and with the help of his breakthrough in memory magic a few days ago, he was constantly sorting out his chaotic thoughts.

The Mind Chamber seemed to be under a spell of seamless expansion, constantly growing and extending. The books inside were being swept away by a whirlwind, and all sorts of magical symbols burst forth with dazzling light.

Countless silver wings appeared in his mind, filling his entire world of thought, and then, in a certain instant, these swifts converged towards the very center.

The speed was incredibly fast!

One after another, silver figures collided and exploded into large clumps of silver mist. Thousands upon thousands of swifts rushed forward one after another, while the silver mist at the center churned continuously, as if brewing something.

Inside the Room of Requirement, Felix's eyes grew brighter and brighter, his light blue pupils radiating a dazzling silver light.

As the light reached its peak, Felix drew his wand and swiftly thrust it forward.

"Take the God's Protection!"

A burst of silver light suddenly exploded, first rapidly expanding and completely engulfing Felix's figure, instantly spreading to almost half the room. After a brief pause, the silver light quickly contracted and condensed into a silver swift.

That is Felix's new guardian spirit.

This swift was much larger than usual, about the size of an owl, and its body was covered with countless tiny points of light.

These points of light are connected to each other by tiny, almost imperceptible filaments, like the bones and blood vessels of a guardian deity.

When the last ray of silver light merged into the guardian, all the points of light and filaments disappeared.

What appeared before Felix was a brand new guardian deity with a physical form.

A level six guardian spell!

He and the silver swift looked at each other, as if he could sense its thoughts. It spread its sickle-shaped wings and darted through the room like a bolt of lightning, leaving an endless trail of silver in the distance.

“You’ve gotten even faster,” Felix exclaimed in admiration.

A swift suddenly appeared before him, floating in mid-air, letting out a short cry to express its joy to Felix.

Felix extended his index finger and gently touched its head. It had a solid texture, and if one didn't look at the silver sheen on its body, others would probably think it was a mutated large bird.

The swift rubbed against his fingers, conveying its inner joy.

Felix also smiled with satisfaction. On the eve of Easter, he had finally turned his recent efforts into reality.

Six transformations through brain occlusion surgery!

The six transformations of the mind-capturing technique!

Six transformations of forgetting all!

The Guardian Spell undergoes six transformations!

The breakthroughs in the other three spells were a natural progression. They had already reached the pinnacle of level five, and in less than a year after returning to Hogwarts, their magical foundations deepened through various experiences.

From the formation and practice of magic in the Mindroom, to his exchange of memory magic with Snape, to Lockhart's magical journal... all the way to the Room of Requirement, where Rowena Ravenclaw's thousand-year-old memories showed him the most advanced memory magic.

With the help of the crown, everything led to a qualitative change in his memory magic.

And once the memory magic transforms, the breakthrough of the Guardian Spell becomes a natural consequence.

Since he faced no obstacles, Lady Ravenclaw directly told him the existence and location of the memory nodes, saving him a great deal of time. However, due to his limited control over memory magic, he found it somewhat difficult…

A silver swift landed on his shoulder and gently pecked at his ear.

Felix's thoughts raced as he pondered once again a problem that had been troubling him for a long time: the cheat code.

What exactly is his cheat code? Or rather, does a cheat code really exist?

There was no panel, no prompts, no sudden appearances of other people's thoughts...

Yes, it was simply tireless practice and a natural transformation, and Felix named his magic according to the number of transformations: Level One, Level Two...

Perhaps this is the true nature of his "golden touch".

An innate magical talent?

The magical world has never lacked talented people, such as Parseltongue and Disguise Magus;

There are also talents specific to a particular area, such as flight, advanced shapeshifting, potions, or even simply having superhuman strength in a particular spell...

Such examples are common throughout history, but how many have actually been able to bring their talents to their fullest potential?

And Felix did it.

His perseverance, wisdom, and unique magical talent have combined to make him who he is today.

"So, does having a cheat code really matter?"

Felix smiled, looked at the silver swift on his shoulder, and walked out of the Room of Requirement.

Before a window, Felix gently tapped the guardian's forehead. "Go, bring me a moonflower from the Forbidden Forest."

The swift spread its wings and transformed into a silver streak, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

Felix watched the silver trail it left behind and suddenly remembered the ancient poems he had seen in the Ravenclaw manuscripts.

"The stone turned into a little bird, chirping and singing. It crossed mountains and lakes, bringing back daisies from the Red Plain."

Chapter 151 The Exam is Approaching

The Easter holidays are over, but for fifth and seventh graders, it just means the Wizarding Levels exams are getting closer.

Professor McGonagall also took the opportunity to hold a faculty meeting to remind professors of their preparations for the upcoming exams.

"We must pay special attention to the mental state of young wizards. Before each exam, some students suddenly have emotional breakdowns and do all sorts of inexplicable things. In addition, this period is also a peak time for the circulation of various substandard potions, amulets, and cheating devices. As teachers, we must be vigilant and take strict precautions..."

Comparing what he saw with what he saw, Felix wasn't sure whether Miss Kremy Vera's sudden breakout of acne was due to seasonal changes or, as Professor McGonagall suggested, a result of her pre-exam mindset.

"...The regular exams are scheduled for June 1st. They're earlier than the Wizarding Level Exams, but that doesn't mean we can let our guard down..."

As they left the faculty and staff lounge, the two new professors huddled together to share their experiences.

“I didn’t know professors had to prepare so much. I was overwhelmed by all the exams when I was in school,” Belby said with a surprised tone.

"I only just found out about this myself, Damocles. How's your Forbidden Forest creatures project going?"

“Everything went very well!” Belby said triumphantly. “I really want to show you the look of surprise on their faces. I think my classes will be unforgettable for students for at least a few years.”

"Perhaps many years later, I will still receive greeting cards from the little wizards."

Felix smiled and congratulated him, and Belby then said mysteriously, "And it is indeed as you said, Felix, the Hogwarts library is so vast that I had no idea when I was in school."

……

All five grades taught by Felix exhibited varying degrees of pre-exam syndrome, with the most pronounced cases in fifth and seventh grade. This was unrelated to academic performance but rather a result of accumulated pressure.

Fifth-grader Warren Pardis wrote a blank paper on a test, claiming his mind went blank and suspecting he had been given a forgetting spell. But to Felix's professional eye, he was perfectly fine.

“Mr. Pardis,” Felix said, “the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was imprisoned in Azkaban for abusing memory magic, so you still insist on this claim?”

Pardis quickly made an excuse and left.

Some students claimed they were cursed by dark magic items and their minds had regressed to a year in the past. They asked the professors to take care of their special circumstances, and one of them was put in solitary confinement for three days by Professor McGonagall.

The sixth-grade students were very composed. They often watched with smiles as students from other grades strode past them, enjoying their breakfast at a leisurely pace, their postures much more elegant and composed.

In his latest class, Felix criticized this practice.

"I won't stop you from sharing your experiences from the practical classes; in a way, it's a reward for completing your learning tasks ahead of schedule. But..."

“Chasing around showing off to seventh graders can easily lead to uncontrollable consequences, and I’m talking about you, Miss Ray.”

Amidst laughter, Emily Ray said sheepishly, "Professor Hyp, I'm not bragging. She's my cousin, and she kept making fun of me for being sloppy and like a lapdog during the OWLs exams last year."

The laughter grew even louder.

Felix chuckled. "Alright, let's move on to the new lesson. You've already completed the sections on the Tombstone Cluster and the Black Nest."

"Actually, it's a little skeleton and a black crow..." someone in the audience muttered.

“Felix continued, “We also discovered a lot of hidden Easter eggs. Now, let’s review the various problems you encountered.”
