A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 10: "Felix's Wisdom Tooth"

Upon returning home, Felix Harp approached his workbench and began to modify the tooth:

First, he drilled a small hole at the bottom of the tooth, creating a tiny cavity;

Next, he smoothed out the cavity;

Then, he placed it under a microscope and, using a carving knife he had purchased from a micro-carving merchant, etched intricate ancient magical symbols, nesting them together to form a circuit.

This was a delicate task, constructing magical symbol circuits within an incredibly minuscule space. It could be said that very few in the entire wizarding world could achieve such a feat. However, with the aid of his professional carving tools and the latest generation microscope he acquired at a high price, Felix Harp managed to reduce the difficulty of the entire magical process by two-thirds.

This was one of the fruits of his theory – the fusion of Muggle wisdom and magic.

Muggle wisdom, in this context, didn't merely refer to their unconventional ideas; their tools for studying and altering the world were equally fascinating.

In the wizarding world, very few could achieve this.

Pure-blood wizards, not to mention, often harbored disdain for Muggles, at best they might be indifferent;

As for half-bloods or wizards from Muggle families, they might be more familiar with the Muggle world, but between the ages of 11 and 18, their focus was primarily on magic. By the time they reached adulthood, their thought patterns had already solidified, making it nearly impossible to deeply integrate the strengths of both worlds.

...

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Felix Harp gradually completed the construction of twelve sets of magical symbol circuits. Each circuit ranged from a few ancient symbols to more than ten. As he finished etching the final ancient symbol, he carefully connected these twelve circuits, forming a cohesive whole.

Magic circuits lit up one after another, and the brilliance of magic blossomed within the narrow and confined space!

With the illumination of the last circuit, the entire assembly of twelve circuits finally closed completely, forming an everlasting and unified mysterious pattern.

The tiny hole within the tooth began to expand without a trace, swiftly growing to the size of a small suitcase. And this expansion did not stop; Felix Harp patiently waited, savoring the results of the day and night's work, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

Finally, the interior space of the tooth expanded to the size of a small room. Then, the concealed circuits began to function; the surging fluctuations of magical power quickly diminished until they were almost imperceptible. The stable circuits solidified the entire magical script structure, making the tooth's container sturdy and resistant to wear...

Most importantly, the activation circuit would only trigger under the conditions he set.

Felix Harp smiled contentedly. The Third Hole, completed!

He retrieved a suitcase and transferred the items he had already prepared into the tooth's cavity. Felix Harp had designated it as a "portable backup storage room," containing not only seven or eight wands (obtained from dark wizards), but also various magical potions, flying broomsticks, tents, and other items.

With everything in place, Felix Harp placed the tooth into his mouth and secured it with magic.

He smacked his lips, feeling no difference, then licked the wisdom tooth deep within his mouth. Yes, it was almost indistinguishable from a real tooth. Dr. Granger's skills were truly impressive!

Felix Harp sat quietly at his desk, his gaze serene and contemplative.

His everyday items, the less important ones, resided in his suitcase;

As for the important belongings, his contingency supplies, they were divided into three parts, known as the Three Holes of the Cunning Rabbit.

First Hole: A gemstone ring on his left hand, storing a portion of his precious materials, potions, books, and some research findings, engraved with concealed magical inscriptions;

The advantage lies in its portability, convenient for daily use;

However, the drawback is that with frequent use, it's inevitable to draw attention, making it difficult to escape the scrutiny of skilled wizards;

Felix Harp's intention for it is as an everyday item and also as something openly enticing to draw fire.

Second Hole: A magical symbol circuit on his right wrist, storing only a spare wand;

The greatest advantage is its extreme concealment, nearly impervious to conventional methods of detection;

Felix Harp's intention for it is as a weapon for counterattacking in desperate situations!

Third Hole: "Felix's Wisdom Tooth" stores a considerable amount of regular supplies and strategic resources;

The advantage, again, is extreme concealment;

Felix Harp's intention for it is to provide him with ample resources when facing major crises or needing to go into hiding.

"That should make things fairly secure."

Felix Harp believed that individuals as crisis-conscious as himself were a rarity in the wizarding world. Perhaps some experienced members of the Order of the Phoenix had such foresight, but their methods surely couldn't match his.

Especially with his proficiency in the Occlumency, conventional methods of interrogation wouldn't even make him reveal secrets!

Of course, that's the worst-case scenario; Felix Harp didn't believe he would end up in such a predicament. Nonetheless, life is unpredictable, and it's wise to be prepared.

In the coming years, a shadow called "Voldemort" will loom over the British wizarding world.

Felix Harp never underestimated him. Perhaps the Second Dark Lord had intellectual shortcomings, but he was undoubtedly a magical genius. Moreover, his study of magic spanned far longer than Felix's, and not to mention he delved into the obscure and malevolent topics of "killing and death."

With less than a week until school starts, Felix Harp plans to relax a bit. He's been quite exhausted lately!

He intends to watch some movies, attend concerts, indulge in delicious food – after all, he still has a hundred thousand pounds in his account! In the future, most of his time will be spent in the wizarding world, and keeping all that money in cash isn't practical!

Felix Harp spent a good amount of pounds purchasing a range of Muggle items for recreational purposes.

Particularly, he spent eight thousand pounds on a small projection device, the kind used in cinemas, along with copies of classic Muggle movies. Concerned that Hogwarts might not permit Muggle items?

Is that a problem for him?

Likewise, music is indispensable. Felix Harp, who considers himself a quintessential Slytherin, aims to enjoy life to the fullest.

As the start of term approaches, Felix Harp tidies up his room, gathering all magical items into his suitcase – if a thief were to break in and steal a few magical items, it could become quite a nuisance.

"What else needs preparing?"

After contemplating for a while, Felix Harp suddenly taps his wise little brain, "Right, books!"

He recalls the hint given by the Headmaster during his interview. First, he bought several pairs of colorful wool socks, then he embarked on a mad shopping spree at various bookstores.

He got books he'd like to read and also Christmas gifts for various professors – whether they'd be useful or not, it's best to be prepared.

Felix Harp plans to give his former Head of House a book titled "Common Experiment Procedures for Secondary Students." Yes, the one with lots of illustrations.

Hopefully, he'll like it.

Felix Harp is confident he will – after all, he's his best student!

Felix Harp's anticipation for his new post at Hogwarts only grows stronger.
