《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 31 - 31Felix's Mental Journey
Advertisement
Felix watched the young witch leave as he stood at the window, he could vaguely see through the darkness in the distance, a pair of young wizards sitting holding hands and enjoying a leisurely weekend.
"The Age of Peace ..." he chewed on the word with slight emotion, it wasn't until he returned to Hogwarts that he realized the effects of war as an afterthought.
When the Dark Lord had wreaked havoc, Felix had been leading the older kids in the Muggle orphanage to beat up the punks from the school next door, and it was safe to say he had a happy time. And by the time he enrolled in school, the Dark Lord had been gone for almost a year.
It turned out to be a very messy time in the magical world - Death Eaters busy trying to escape their sins, ambitious people eager to seize the power vacuum, victims constantly demanding compensation, and fugitives who were not happy with their defeat hiding in the gutter and plotting a comeback. None of this affected him, of course; it was the young wizards at Hogwarts who affected him.
The pure-blooded families of the wizarding world at the time did everything they could to distance themselves from the Dark Lord, discriminate wizarding muggle family?, Absolutely not, But how they behaved at home, and how they educated the next generation, might have been a different story.
It was in this situation that he enrolled in Hogwarts and-
Shh! Keep quiet, look what we found, a muggle-born Slytherin! Let's bully him!
Well, that was the mental activity of most of the Slytherin students at the time.
When the dinner was over and Felix was about to make friends with his roommates, a Slytherin said to him with a disgusted look on his face, "Go away, you vile mudblood!"
Felix didn't understand the meaning of the word until he subconsciously shot the other man with a Petrificus Totalus, I mean, whoops.
Both sides were a bit confused at the time.
Luckily, there was only one head of steel, the other two roommates had frighteningly low knucklehead values and if you ask one question they answered ten, so by the time he lay in bed that night he already had some idea of what his future held.
He realized that this clash today would not be the end of events, but the very start of everything.
What followed was as he had expected, but fortunately, in just one week he had fought to convince, yuck! He forced himself to make friends with the new students, who have said more than once in public that Félix is a good guy, not only talented but also helpful.

He couldn't beat the upper classmen for the time being, but with the professors and school rules in place, they wouldn't cast a vicious spell on him. After all, a fight in the same year could be described as a frictional clash, but an attack by a senior against a junior would result in expulsion.
And by the time he had shown his great magical talent, there weren't many who still wanted to get involved with him.
Needless to say, there was no shortage of smart people in Slytherin.
But the danger didn't only exist at school, Felix couldn't remember how many death threats he had received during his school years, but he clearly remembered the first one was at his first year's Christmas party.
It was an anonymous yelling letter, and he guessed it was probably sent by the parent of one of the new students he had beaten up at the time.
Still, he had cautiously stayed in school that year, by bonking a second-year Slytherin - and he couldn't be blamed for that, they had made the first move, and he had just made the best out of it.
But he didn't expect the death threats to intensify, and at the beginning of his second year, a batch of red yelling letters flew at him, filling the auditorium with "Get out of Slytherin, you filthy mudblood!" Or "Don't let me see you, or I'll wipe out Slytherin's shame with my own hands!"
The young wizards at dinner were stunned, and Headmaster Dumbledore was particularly serious as he examined the remains of the roaring letter himself. But it was difficult to trace the source of such things; the owl was rent and the sound was disguised.
Frankly, he was in a difficult position. He wanted to study magic in peace, but things never worked out the way he expected.
Felix had to continue his plan of making friends, making more friends and fewer enemies. To do this, he had to suffer some misunderstandings - people who didn't know the truth interpreted it as him striking out in retaliation.
It wasn't long before he approached a third-year Slytherin, who had developed a particular dislike for him and sent him to the school clinic for three weeks under the guise of "seeking guidance".
He actively visited this friend afterward and was distraught at his "mistake", which was, after all, an accident!
Professor, I'm really distressed, you want to deduct my points? Go ahead and deduct them, I can bear it ...
Felix suddenly realized that if you want to get into trouble with Slytherin, it's really easy, all you have to do is call their family rubbish in a place where no one is around.

This fishing tactic was tried and proven.
After a few times, the third year Slytherin succumbed - the most headstrong he encountered was still that roommate, but even headstrong as he was, he happily accepted his friendship after seven days of lying on the floor.
In his third year, he put down the last stubborn seventh year Slytherin, and when it was done, there was a real sense of enjoyment in beating the odds and passing out with a full grade.
But he was still afraid to step out of school; he still had to deal with the annual death threats.
That's why he spent the whole year desperately trying to gain two level 6 spells when his magic theory was only level 4!
But it was worth it, as he was able to use his level six "Petrificus Totalus" and "Protego" to take out the seven idiots who tried to attack him over the summer in the fourth year, and who are still living in Azkaban!
The next time he initiated a family duel at the beginning of the fifth year, it was no big deal to him, and none of the official duels took place - that Shafiq was simply picked up the next day.
After that, he lived happily ever after until graduation.
After graduation, Felix didn't choose the Ministry of Magic or the Ancient Spirit Court as destinations, he wasn't interested in working there.
Good prospects? Good pay?
Well, he could finally justify it by saying, I'm not interested in the money.
He then wanted to stay in school, but unfortunately, Headmaster Dumbledore turned him down.
"You're young, travel more and see more, or work in peace for at least two years."
Felix ended up choosing to travel the world, experiencing the magical customs of different countries like clockwork, especially the black markets of different countries, where there was no shortage of old magical manuscripts and alchemical artefacts, which he desperately needed.
He also met some interesting (black) wizards as a result, and everyone covered their faces so that they didn't judge a book by its cover, but rather each took what they wanted.
When he meets some particular black wizards, he happily tests his magic ideas on them, and it must be emphasized here that he hasn't ended any lives personally, but has created a bunch of idiots - hopefully, some of his friends and their family will take them back for treatment.
His "thinking room" is also taking shape a little at that time.
After his travels, Felix applied again for a teaching position at Hogwarts and was politely refused in return. However, it seemed that he was not interested in the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore suggested that he should live in the Muggle world for a while.
Felix chose to accept. On the one hand, he thought it might be a "test" from Dumbledore, as he was not really a "professorial candidate" after all the things he had done at school, and on the other hand, he wanted to pave a way for himself as a scholar --This way, even if the professorial path did not work out, he could still communicate with other famous wizards.
He was very confident about this. On muggle studies, there was one thing he could do in a heartbeat.
He could write ten books on muggle research a year if he wasn't afraid of shocking the jaws of the wizarding world. But in the end, he decided to be patient and make more sense of what he was doing.
In the span of two years, his correspondence with Dumbledore had increased dramatically in frequency, with Felix constantly sending him a number of research manuscripts and the two exchanging correspondence on Muggle issues.
This gave him hope that he would return to Hogwarts.
Although midway through his third job attempt he failed again ... as he looks back on the journey, he still feels miserable. But from the correspondence, he realized that Dumbledore's attitude had quietly changed.
The next step is to publish a book and release it. His books received a lukewarm response in the marketplace, but were extremely informative in the eyes of professionals.
The name Felix Hap was also given the title of "expert on Muggle research".
Thanks to this, in the third year of his career, he was able to establish pen-pal relationships with many famous wizards, which benefited him greatly.
He was also asked by the ministries of magic in some small countries to be head of their department that dealt with muggle issues, but he declined.
Exactly three years after graduating, he finally received an offer of an interview at Hogwarts.
It all begins here ...
Felix stood at the window, watching the sun go down, a glimmer of afterglow clinging to the horizon.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.

Life is Wilde
There is a world where fiction meets reality. A world where human logic may prevail. Where human logic is the main thing that binds humanity. A world where Humanity is lesser to The World.Synopsis (For Chapters after Authors Note):Oscar is a child alike most others. He loves his mother, doesn't know his dad, and lives in a dome. Only, his greatest dream is to explore the vast wildes that plague the world. The problem is, the wildes house strange creatures mutated by radiation and a mysterious energy called "The Essence". How will Oscar ever survive in this chaotic world? Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
