Chapter 339 Ancient Magic Texts
Professor McGonagall prepared a dozen monster books for Andrew - but the professor told him not to worry, and to master the art of human transformation first before thinking about it.
As for the rest, he only needs to come to the office after the first class, use the time converter to go back to before class and start processing the files.
In short, his handyman career has made huge progress - before, it depended on when to take a break, but now it is fixed to work in the office after finishing the first class.
‘It’s so gratifying, why do you feel like you’re at work? ’
But there was no need to show this emotion. He picked up a stack of timetables - Andrew had sorted them by college and grade a few days ago, so he just went over to distribute them this time.
"Let's go, Taylor."
Professor McGonagall took the lead, and Andrew followed behind, holding the class schedule, and walked towards the auditorium.
It wasn’t until they reached the auditorium that Professor McGonagall took the Gryffindor timetable from the top and went to the Gryffindor prefects to distribute it.
As for Andrew, he started looking for prefects from other colleges and handed the things over.
‘Fortunately, the prefect of my college is very strong and can eat it warmly. ’
After finishing his work, he sat down next to Hal and started eating.
…
"Andrew, what are you doing, digging a black lake?"
Hal opened his mouth wide, "I feel like you want to eat it An elephant goes in.”
Nonsense, I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry for six hours in the morning. How can I resist if I don't eat enough?
In addition to having classes in the morning, I still have to go to the professor’s office to do odd jobs! The time converter is not resistant to hunger.
"The first section of the morning, ancient magic texts, who is there?"
"Only Hughes, you two go,"
"Okay, "Andrew hurriedly finished the last bite of ham and eggs, "It's time to go to class after eating, let's go!"
The elective courses are held twice a week, but they are divided into classes, with each class having one large class.
Because individual electives are different, students can choose between the two classes A and B - this allows students who have conflicts between the two classes to choose. Of course, choosing both classes will inevitably conflict.
The class schedules of Andrew and Hughes did not conflict. They were both in Class A, so they took their textbooks and headed to the classroom together.
"Ancient magic texts," Andrew walked slowly while thinking about the course, "I didn't read the textbook very much. Do you know that, Hughes?"
"I do know a little bit," Xiu Si's voice was not high, "But it is not my main research direction - I prefer the magic history of the Roman Empire, and the runes are actually more suitable for translation."
"Translation?"
"Yes, the translation of magic characters and runic classics, I suspect it should have something to do with Latin, but the current translation has nothing to do with it, but my summer research may have something to do with ancient Germanic There is a relationship, but I have only read a little bit of textbooks, and I can only confirm that there is a relationship."
Sius shook his head, "Our professor is Professor Bathsheda Bablin, you know. Right?”
“Well, I know a little bit, but I don’t know much about it.”
Andrew has indeed heard some rumors, but it is really not suitable for gossiping in a place like the corridor-no, even if it is. It's not even possible to go back to the dormitory.
Although this is not the content of the office, Hal, the guy who aspires to be a reporter, will spread every news-if this gossip about the professor gets out, he will not have to hang out this semester.
'Professor Bathsheda Bablin, 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 level of dark magic may be second only to Professor Snape. ’
‘There is also a saying that the professor seems to be a supporter of Grindelwald’s theory, but this is nonsense, after all, no one says it. ’ ‘There is also a saying that this professor is rather old-fashioned. After all, he teaches serious linguistics, so he is very serious in his work... But I have never dealt with him myself. ’
But these things are just random things I learned from listening to professors gossiping, and they cannot be taken seriously.
‘It’s better to see it with your own eyes. ’
"Let's go, find a good seat. I don't like the front very much, what about you?"
"Same."
——
'Hey, there is a meeting in our hospital. Already? ’
When Andrew walked into the classroom, he was a little dumbfounded - looking around, there were almost half of the Ravenclaw students.
"This way, Taylor, Adam!"
Everyone is familiar with each other, so they naturally stick together. Andrew and the others easily sit together with the people from their own college, then he is inside and Hughes sits outside.
"How about it, which one of you is going to take the first place in this course?"
The classmates next to them joked in a low voice - after all, Andrew and Hughes each hold the first place in a single subject.
"And Miss Granger, don't think about it, I'm going to learn from the French anyway."
Cheerful laughter instantly erupted from the crowd.
"Don't you dare, I'll fall for you!"
"Come on."
Andrew made a cheering gesture - does he still have a good reputation? Isn't it enough to be able to mingle with your own school?
But the happy time was extremely short-lived, because the professor arrived in almost no time.
Professor Bathsheda Bablin is a woman of about forty years old who is of a certain grade. Her eyes are not very sharp, but there is a force in her tone that cannot be refuted.
"Good morning, I am your ancient rune professor, Bathsheda Bablin."
She didn't even use magic, she wrote directly on the blackboard with chalk He wrote down his name, and then wrote down another set of words in a pattern that Andrew couldn't quite understand.

"This is the first set of words you have learned - one is zero and one is nine. This is your introduction to runes."
The professor looked at the students, "Rune is a word that is almost It is an obsolete and dead language, but this does not mean that it has lost its magic power.”
“On the contrary, this strange symbol is an inevitable symbol used in alchemy. Pursue more knowledge, it is a course that you cannot escape."
"The things in the textbook are generally accepted content, but I am not going to talk about those points. You can watch it yourself - what I want to talk about. It’s my opinion that has not been finalized yet.”
Professor Bablin spoke firmly, suppressing all the students from making any noise.
"The magic system is constantly evolving. In the beginning, spells were not as convenient as they are now, nor are they as clearly classified as they are now. In the ancient magic system, runes were widely used - until Latin After the short spell casting brought by the language system exceeded the limit and made magic casting faster, the rune system was gradually abandoned, stopped developing, and was even abandoned on a large scale."
"Yes, I support it. That bold guess is that runes were developed from ancient Germanic runes and were simplified into various symbols."
Andrew looked at Hughes, this view was the same as that of Hughes last semester. The statements are very close!
‘Everything is getting interesting. ’
