《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 112 - 112 Extra Guidance
Advertisement
Later in the day, Felix had mentioned the conversation with Dumbledore with Snape, and the professor had left in silence.
Maybe he wasn't hopeful ... Felix watched his back and thought silently.
Time skipped to Saturday, and Felix finally got a big chunk of free time.
He took out the memory spells material copied from Lockhart's office and studied them carefully. It could be seen that Lockhart attached great importance to this information, it was filled with plausible personal notes, and part of the ink was still very new, it couldn't be more than two weeks old.
'It's not as if Lockhart hasn't done anything decent for most of the year.'
According to Felix's thoughts, perhaps Lockhart never took teaching to his heart and just mingled as much as he could. Waiting for a year to pass away, he sold a lot of books, memory magic can also have some progress, and most crucially, he can write a book like "The Professor Under the Curse" or "My Year at Hogwarts" kind of book.
This is not a challenge for Lockhart, who could even modify stories that were abandoned in the past and use them directly.
At least he saw in the manuscript of Lockhart's interview, which the trio had copied, a considerable amount of space was devoted to the crooked old wizard's experience in solving the curse of dark magic items, but this part was not placed in his "Wandering with Werewolves".
It would make perfect sense if Lockhart intended to link this part, with the Hogwarts curse, to present himself as a master who is good at solving curses.
Felix ignored the notes from the material of Lockhart and carefully read the original manuscript - although the term original manuscript is not appropriate, because the entire material was copied by Lockhart, and this is the most regrettable part for him.
But from the lines, he still felt a sense of familiarity.
What exactly is it, has he read a different book by the same author?
Felix went through thousands of magic books in his thinking hut, and he got a bit of a migraine.

Late in the evening, Felix let out a soft sigh of relief and put down the material in his hands.
The harvest was great.
In addition to Lockhart's own signature magic, Obliviate (Ancient Magic Version), he had also gained some scattered and trivial tips on Occlumency.
After combining the insights about memory magic from Lockhart, the diary, Snape, and his knowledge, perhaps he could obtain a new level six magic spells after working on it for a while.
Whether it is an Occlumency or Obliviate? For Felix, it was really hard to choose.
"And with two versions of the Obliviate spell, I have a chance to sort out the simplified concept of modern magic and go back to the source to restore the ancient magic from the modern one."
It is another long-term project, but for Felix, it is a million-dollar affair.
Felix kept thinking about it, and he felt that the biggest gain from his return to Hogwarts, besides the growing number of practical ancient magical runes, this would be his biggest gain.
He even tapped into a number of interesting ideas from this material, which can solve the puzzles that arose from the diary.
" Lockhart is really a Treasure Wizard, unfortunately, he's going to Azkaban."
...
A little later, his own young assistant reported in a time.
Felix put the memory charm materials away and took out the two-foot thick parchments from the corner.
These were the assignments turned in by the young wizards in dueling class.
"Well ... we have to divide the work neatly, I'll give the evaluation, and you will be recording it," Felix said, he felt his assistant was somewhat sluggish in the sparring match with Harry.
But she was the most determined among the young wizards, who learned the Disarming Charm according to his " division method ".
It is necessary to give her some extra care as a benefit.
"This ..." Felix picked up the first parchment and looked at the data in the table on it, "Tsk!" Without saying anything, he handed it to Hermione.
"Professor, what should I write?" The young witch asked, holding a quill in her hand.

"Give him a question mark, an exaggerated one."
Hermione: "????"
"The data is made up." Professor Hap said shortly.
"Professor Hap, how do you figure it out?"
"His stats are excellent, but I've noticed him in dueling class, and he didn't learn the disarming charm and has problems with even the most basic wand form ... probably copied a schoolmaster's stats."
Hermione nodded as she wrote down a question mark on the parchment.
"The second one, let me see ..." Felix circled a few lines of data, "His problem is that his foundation is too poor, it is recommended to review the specific chapters of the magic spell textbook, which is mentioned in detail in the material. Miss Granger, mark the specific entries for me."
"Okay." She wrote down "focus on what is mentioned in the fifth article of the study material" with ease - she knew the study material of the Disarming Charm by heart.
Hermione finished writing her annotations on the parchment, then looked at the data Felix had circled, and she understood it all at once.
This student named El-Buz, most of the problems are concentrated in the major category of 'operation standard', and slightly on other categories such as 'essential theory', 'spellcasting mentality', 'magic comprehension', etc.
Time passed, Hermione continued to follow Professor Hap's description, writing down various suggestions on the parchment, Professor Hap didn't do anything, he would only highlight the key data and mark it out.
As she has seen more and more problems, her understanding of the disarming charm is becoming clearer and clearer.
With many suggestions made by Felix, she was able to understand a good deal compared to the key data that the professor had underlined.
This is a matter of handling specifications, and this is a matter of mindset ... which is also reflected in the self-evaluation.
Felix will also give various tips, such as the spell casting mentality part, he gave the approach of " imagine a tall man wielding a broomstick to attack you, and you are using your mind to make the broomstick in his hand fly over."
She also wrote up Professor Hap's explanation - "The mindset of the disarming charm is a self-preservation mindset, to be determined to make the enemy lose the ability to hurt you."
Hermione could not resist asking: "Professor, do we have to visualize this idea to succeed?"
"When you become proficient, there is no necessity. Some elite Auror can even cast disarming charms while sleeping. But when you have yet to master the charm, this right mindset will speed up your progress."
Hermione nodded.
Halfway through the grading, Hermione yawned impishly.
"Let's continue tomorrow evening, I suggest you spend more time practicing the disarming charm tomorrow during the day, you might get some surprises," Felix said to his assistant.
The next day, evening.
"It's really improved!" Hermione said excitedly.
She didn't wait until morning, but practiced by herself when she got back last night.
It was a strange feeling, when the wand was waved, she could realize which part she did not do well.
The advice and tips she had written down in a stroke of her own quill kept popping up in her head.
During the day, she spent a lot of time practicing, and she was progressing almost at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Felix smiled, "We'll finish grading today, and I think, by that time, your understanding of the disarming charm will be excellent."
...
In the following week, time flew by and the answer parchments, which were only used in the fifth and seventh years, appeared in the ancient magic rune class of the other years one after another.
There was a buzz among the young wizards about this new teaching tool.
During one day in the great hall, Professor McGonagall asked him some information about the answer parchment, and Felix answered her cheerfully.
Professor McGonagall stayed where she was with a thoughtful face.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
