“You have thought it through quite well, and what amazes me most is that you have been patient enough to revise seven versions.” Felix complimented.

The twins said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you, you always give us a bunch of suggestions for modifications, which makes us feel that it’s not good enough.”

Felix looked at them, “What are you going to do now?”

Fred said, “We’re currently simply advertising in the school, and there are quite a few people who are interested in buying it.”

Felix considered, “The production process is very time-consuming, right, your OWLs Exam …”

Fred begged, “Professor, don’t make it hard for us, we still have plenty of time now.”

George said, “Yeah, we already dropped most of the electives, and some mandatory classes are totally unnecessary–”

“Astronomy-”

“History of magic-”

Felix looked at them with a reproachful gaze.

“You can’t force us, after all, we didn’t drop a single thing we were supposed to learn, and Professor Flitwick even praised us.” Fred appealed for himself and George.

Felix also could not do anything about them, moreover, he believed in his heart that shackling the twins is not a good choice. Providing them with a broader stage and watching them dance is probably what he should do.

He said thoughtfully, “You guys restrain yourselves this year, and when the exams are over, I mean after the OWLs, I’ll take you guys out for more experience.”

As Harry and the rest watched in disbelief, the twins squinted their eyes at them and marched off.

Before leaving, Fred patted Ron’s shoulder, “Silly Ronnie, you can record on the parchment: The assessment content is alchemical items couples mirror, Price – three Gold Galleons, the price may increase anytime.”

Ron turned his head to look at Harry, “Did you hear that?”

“Of course,” Harry is still thinking about the couple’s mirror, in the middle of thinking, he saw the girl who made his heart flutter.

Cho Chang and her friend appeared, they looked around, there are already seven or eight students on the ground sitting in the corner with a golem and carving runes.

Her friend pointed at Cedric’s figure and muttered.

Professor Hap is surrounded by three or five students, he is staring at a cross-shaped amulet and shaking his head, the student at the side looked disappointed.

Cho Chang came next to Hermione, “Hello? We came to participate in the assessment.”

Hermione just finished recording a form, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, “Oh, please wait a moment.” She pulled out a new piece of parchment and said fluently, “Name, grade, and house.”

“Cho Chang, fourth year, Ravenclaw.”

“Marietta Edgecombe, fourth year, Ravenclaw.”

Hermione noted down on the parchment, ” What part of the assessment are you taking … Harry?”

Harry unknowingly came over, and he stammered, “Hermione…, I came over here to check and see if I can help …”

“I’m okay,” Hermione didn’t notice his expression as she looked over to the two people across the table, and they replied briskly, ” Essay, both of us going to submit an essay.”

“You guys put your essays on that big table with the clips and quill by the side. The results will be posted approximately in a week or two.”

Harry waited for her to finish and said to Cho Chang and her friend, “Let me take you there.”

Cho Chang looked at him and nodded. The three of them walked away together.

Hermione faintly heard Harry muttering and introducing himself …

Around eleven o’clock, a group of third-year Slytherin came over – Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass, Pansy Parkinson, Crabbe, and Goyle.

Ron walked over excitedly as he said provocatively, “I didn’t expect you guys to actually show up, Malfoy, you must be dying to show us some ancient runes, right? After all, you are Malfoy!”

Draco gave him a contemptuous look, “Weasley, where there is Potter, there is you, are you his lackey?”

Ron gave a surprised look as he looked at Crabbe and Goyle, “Hey mate, is that how Malfoy sees you guys? He doesn’t even have any friends?”

Pansy said impatiently, “Hurry up and register us, I’m not interested in listening to your clown speech.”

Ron turned red, “Sorry, you guys might need to write yourselves.” He pushed a stack of parchment into Malfoy’s arms.

On the other side, Daphne paced next to Hermione, “Hey, little Gryffindor girl!”

Hermione stared at her, ” It is YOU?” Her voice became sharggressive, “I haven’t had a chance to ask you if you liked your golem?”

In the first ancient runes class at the beginning of the school year, both of them competed for the same golem model, but Hermione is one step faster.

Daphne said condescendingly, “Sorry, I found a senior sister and swapped with her.”

Hermione remained silent for a while, then suddenly said, “My golem is more powerful!”

“Nonsense!”

“Want to try it?”

“Sure, you think I’m afraid of you!”

Felix wiped the emerging sweat, he had reviewed dozens of strange alchemical creations in the morning, except for a few that passed, the rest really left him speechless.

For example, a small bottle emitting a strong irritating odour, the student swore that it possessed a marvellous warding effect that could drive away frenzied werewolves.

But Felix double-checked that it merely contained a pus layer of the Bubotuber, which is still quite dangerous, so it got directly confiscated by him.

Cedric finally finished his work, Felix looked at his results and couldn’t help but praise him by saying, “You have mastered fifty-two runes, very outstanding. Did you learn them all by yourself?”

Cedric said, “I asked the senior students to teach me, and they gave me some pointers.”

After watching the last student leave at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, Felix turned to Harry and Ron and said, “Thank you for your hard work.” The two left with a weary farewell, they needed to go back and catch up with their sleep.

Hermione, who is an assistant in the Runes class, stayed behind as the two looked at the hundreds of essays, and Felix sighed and said, “Huge amount of work, we’ll have to work overtime tonight.”

“We’ll sort these essays first, just like grading dueling class papers, I’ll be responsible for underlining and picking out mistakes, you’ll be responsible for marking them.”

Hermione nodded.

Felix suddenly looked at her, ” You seem to be starting to look good, getting rid of the time-turner?”

Hermione said, “I talked to Percy, he provided a lot of useful advice,” she counted on her hands, “I need to record every hour before using time tuner, every four hours I need to eat something, and take a break for at least half an hour; go back to the last point in time is not necessary to be so rigid, can be slightly earlier, leaving time to respond; he also recommended me a few abandoned classrooms, which he previously used. There are also some potions available in the hospital wing, which can relieve fatigue and improve the quality of sleep …”

“Sounds good,” Felix said.

“Yeah, he’s been using it for three whole years and has a lot of experience. Percy told me he’s keeping it as a dead secret, even his girlfriend doesn’t know about it.”

Two of them sorted the essay according to year, and then corrected it. For them, the content on it is very familiar, and the most important reference book for the essay is Felix’s own “Explorations of Ancient Runes”, and as for other reference books, he also read them many times before.

And Hermione is not unfamiliar with it, because the reference books for the essay are the same batch she read last year – Professor Hap just copied her previous test.

Felix quickly skimmed over the familiar content, focusing on capturing the flashes of the young wizards’ own reflections.

Time passed little by little, and Classroom Seven remained as bright as day.

“It’s almost time, we can continue tomorrow.”

“Professor, should I come tomorrow morning?”

“No, I have something to do tomorrow morning, I need to go to St. Mungo’s.”

“That wizarding hospital?” Hermione looked at him nervously, the professor is sick? Even Madam Pomfrey couldn’t cure him?

“I’m going to visit two friends,” Felix said briefly.

Hermione nodded, she suddenly remembered her earlier question, “Professor, do you know how Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban?”

Felix thought about it, “I’m not sure, he comes from the ancient Black family, also a former Death Eater, may have mastered some very subtle magic, and perhaps used it.”

“But why did he flee after a decade?” Hermione asked in disbelief.

This question made Felix silent: “Yes, why did he escape after more than ten years? Did he just find the opportunity, or did he have a reason to risk breaking out of prison?”
