《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 11 - Entry
Advertisement
1st September.
Inauguration time.
A lazy man like Felix, without a doubt, continued to use floo powder to reach the Vice-Principal's office, where he emerged from the fireplace in a bright green robe, his hair neatly groomed, and carrying a small suitcase.
"Professor McGonagall." Felix greeted her with a smile on his face.
Professor McGonagall was busy sorting out events for the day; she was responsible for the annual opening dinner, and it was arguably one of her busiest days of the year.
"Oh, thank goodness you're here at last."
"Is something wrong?" Felix asked.
"I need you to do some work for me."
"With pleasure, ma'am," Felix spoke with elegance.
Professor McGonagall handed him a series of jobs and left in a huff, muttering things like, "Dumbledore never cares about this ... I'm on my own ...". She seemed to have a strong opinion about the headmaster.
Felix looked at the parchment in his hand with interest, "Let's see, the first job, decorating the Great Hall?"
The Great Hall ( Dining Hall ).
Felix waved his wand and placed decorations around the ceiling, arranging the four long tables and spacing out each chair to perfection.
Then came the weather at the top of the auditorium.
"Honestly, I've wanted to play with this for a long time," Felix muttered, waving his wand.
Above the auditorium, the original high noon weather suddenly became cloudy, with thick black clouds pressing ever closer as if they were going to stick themselves firmly in the sky the next moment.
Then, Felix continued to wave his wand, and the dense black clouds dispersed, revealing a large, miserable green glow from the sky, making the entire auditorium look like a cursed place ...
"Yah-hoo." Felix felt so happy he created a big viper, which opened its bloody maw through the green light, and out of its mouth, a miserable green figure twisted and formed, looking and acting like a certain professor.

"Is this what you think of the professor who has taught you for seven years, Felix?" As Felix was having a great time, a hollow voice suddenly surfaced.
Felix turned around to see his Potions professor and head of the house, Snape, appearing like a ghost with his arms flapping.
Snape's face looked expressionless, his eyes untouched by emotion. He spewed his venom slowly and deliberately, "Are you expressing your displeasure with me? Or have three years after graduation filled your head with inappropriate muggle thoughts and made you so arrogant and cocky that you've lost your manners?"
" Cough cough...!" Felix felt a bit embarrassed to have been caught red-handed in the middle of the fun!
Even more embarrassing is that the long snake above his head poked its head down and the miserable green professor in its mouth was wiggling and swaying ...
With a wave of his wand, Felix turned the long snake into nothingness. He quickly adjusted his expression as if he had just seen Professor Snape, first with a look of surprise, then quickly stepping forward and greeting Snape with utmost courtesy.
"Professor, your magic has grown steadily in three years."
Snape looked him over expressionlessly and mocked him in a rhythmic tone, "Three years has opened my eyes, but I would have thought you were a stupid lion if I hadn't taught you."
Felix gave an 'embarrassed' look, his eyes darted away in 'embarrassment' and suddenly looked behind Snape in 'surprise', " Professor McGonagall, when did you get here?"
"
Startled, Snape turns around quickly to find the hallway is empty.
Turning back, he found Felix with a confused look on his face, "Huh? Did I just made a mistake?"
Snape was so angry he couldn't speak.
There you go once again.

The boy always found an excuse to get away with it since he was in school, gagging and talking nonsense, but Snape knew him well enough to know how dangerous this boy could be.
In fact, he had just left the Headmaster's office this morning after a big fight with Dumbledore when he found out that Felix had come to teach at Hogwarts.
Snape approached quietly and said in a volume that only two people could hear, "Felix Hap-"
"You can call me Felix, Professor!" Felix interjected.
Snape: "..."
Again! Always interrupting, always interrupting his speech!
But who told Snape to speak slowly and with a musical aria? The others may have been afraid to interrupt because of Snape's oppressive demeanour, but Felix knew him well enough!
So well that he knew his deepest secrets!
Snape raised his voice: "Felix, I don't care what you're doing here at Hogwarts, but I'm going to keep an eye on you. If you're going to use the students at Hogwarts to promote some of your dangerous ideas ..."
"I see you've read my work too, Professor, what an honour!"
Snape was at a loss for words.
"Professor McGonagall! What are you doing here?" Felix suddenly turned his head to the side and spoke.
"Don't be a smart ass!" Snape said angrily, and then he felt someone approaching quickly behind him.
Emmm this time it's really true ... Felix quietly gestured to his back and before Snape could turn around, he heard Professor McGonagall approaching with a stern and impatient tone.
"Professor Snape, you have come just in time, I have something to discuss with you."
Professor Snape was then dragged away by McGonagall, and Felix made the gesture of goodbye, prompting Snape to give him a fierce glare.
"Looks like the Professor has a strong opinion of me~" muttered Felix, "I just threatened you once, it's been a few years, look how much he remembers that grudge, shame on him."
Well, Felix did threaten Snape, not exactly once, but for seven years during their time at school.
That's another long story.
Anyway, Felix continued to tidy up the auditorium, not daring to play anymore this time. Waving his wand, he turned the sky above the auditorium into a bright starry sky. He deliberately enlarged and brought some of the stars closer together, a full moon as bright as a disk, crimson Mars as red as a furnace, and a yellow-brown Saturn surrounded by a ring of broken stars. ... In the distance there were brighter, smaller stars, constantly shining and twinkling, decorating the auditorium beautifully.
"Excellent charm!" A shrill voice appeared and Felix glanced back up and then lowered his head.
He smiled, "Hello, Professor Flitwick!"
"Oh! Felix!" Professor Flitwick looked thrilled, but in fact, he looked like he was going to faint.
"A talented Hogwarts graduate returns to school! How wonderful! I still remember your brilliant performance on the NEWTs spell test, perfect, perfect!"
Professor Flitwick looked thrilled, despite his small stature, he was affectionate and had no prejudice against the houses.
"It's good to see you, Professor!"

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.

Mobius
Far in the future, humans have thoroughly colonized space through the use of floating colonies and artificially replicating the Earth whenever possible. Most of these endeavors have gone well, with humanity spreading across the universe like the seeds of plants floating in the wind. Yet still there lurks the great mistake, the endless station of Mobius, a megastructure which hasn't ceased its building in over a century. Dante, a man living in this megastructure, is tasked with the recording of stories told by criminals, particularly those who travel between strata. One day, a prisoner is captured claiming to be Captain Pluto, an infamous criminal thought to be fictitious by most scholars. Even more curious, he claims to hail all the way from Stratum 56, a location so far away from Dante's Stratum 999 that it would take lifetimes to traverse such a distance. Dante must discern whether or not the story is false or true, and the longer he lets Captain Pluto speak, the more difficult his task becomes. *****Average chapter length will be 10k words give or take. This isn't a very serious story for me. I'm writing this to blow off steam. Updates will happen infrequently because of this, and it will most likely be unpolished unless I begin to take it more seriously.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
