Chapter 328: Invitation

Time moved towards August, and Felix thought he would stay in Diagon Alley until the start of the Quidditch World Cup. Until he received a letter from his student, Clammy Vera.

'Dear Professor Hap

I'm still working for the Gringotts in Egypt, where everything is fine except for the somewhat gloomy and sweaty working environment.

I've made the acquaintance of many friendly colleagues, and a senior named Bill Weasley took me under his wing, and when I mentioned you to him, I was surprised to find out that he knew you as he enrolled in the same year as you! Likewise, I couldn't wait to ask him more about you, and to my surprise, he described you as a "Wandering Sphinx" because in the few brief exchanges you had, you politely asked him about very deep knowledge of ancient runes and magic theory, and he couldn't answer it, which made him a little embarrassed and his self-esteem hurt (Bill). ( Bill is a very funny and humorous senior in person, he is laughing when he said these things).

I also met some local friends from Uagadou, a huge magic school with over 5,000 students! It's almost impossible to imagine so many people in class together, but they tell me it's because Uagadou accepts students from all over Africa ...

I now have a problem, after exploring an ancient tomb at the bottom of an Egyptian pyramid, we accidentally discovered a dark room leading to a deeper level, a long, winding hallway, shrouded by a thick black fog, filled with all kinds of dangerous magic traps - we didn't even finish exploring the hallway, but a colleague suffered seven or eight kinds of curses, and we withdrew urgently.

That colleague was hospitalized, but he brought back a slab of stone from the corridor wall, which turned out to be inscribed with ancient runes that I had never come across before, and that even my grandfather could not decipher or translate, which seemed to come from a more distant era.

I seriously suspect that they are all ancient runes of a practical nature (the traced patterns are sent with the letter), and I am eager to receive your guidance, and it would be great if you could come.

Your student, Clammy Vera.'

Felix put the letter aside and looked at the Egyptian sacred heron next to him, a large bird over half a meter in size, with an entirely white body, but with a black dot on the ends of its wings and Tail feathers.

The bird's head and neck were black and bare, and its long, downward-curving beak looked like a scythe.

Its legs were long and strong, and at the moment it's kicking over a tightly wrapped package next to it, Felix unwrapped it and saw a three-foot-square piece of parchment with the pattern obtained by tracing the slab that Vera had mentioned in her letter.

He looked over the slate copy and confirmed the true nature of the patterns at first glance; they were indeed ancient runes; to be precise, it should be part of some ancient magic - a fragment of a rune sequence; black lightning arcs flared in the air as he tried to outline the fragmented pattern.

Felix went over the letter from Clammy again, and he sensed a contradiction - the owner of the darkroom hung the slab of ancient magic in the hallway in a big way, which seemed to indicate that the owner was rather a generous person, but black mist and curses could not be associated with generosity.

He didn't decide easily that person was a dark wizard because the definition of a dark wizard was different in different times, and in the ancient wizard community, those who could be called dark wizards were all evil to the core, not something that could be compared to today.

"A powerful ancient wizard slipped into the pyramid, created a dark room, and laid out a complex curse .... Could it be some kind of harsh inheritance? And both the black mist and the curse are a test for the outsider?"

"Or, is it a way to use human greed to punish an unexpected intruder?"

Felix wrote a reply letter, attaching all this information, including his own speculations. He also expressed his gratitude for Vera's invitation and then had a flash in his mind, then he asked if he could bring a student with him. His own assistant had acquired a great deal of knowledge of ancient runes in two years, and it is time to be exposed to some social practice.

After waiting for a few days, Clammy Vera sent a reply letter, which expressed their welcome to him and his student, accompanied by a formal invitation from the Gringotts, with a total of two positions on its name, one already filled with the name "Felix Hap", and the other one is blank.

Only with this invitation, they will be allowed to enter the interior of the pyramid to explore.

Felix smiled slightly and filled in the blanks with the name "Hermione Granger".

The next morning, Hermione excitedly came to the Future World company in Diagon Alley, curiously looking around, just yesterday, the professor sent a letter and explained the situation to her, inviting her to explore the pyramids of Egypt! She had wanted to go there for a long time, and although the professor had told her she would be staying at the back most of the time, there's still a chance to get close to thousands of years old relics safely.

"Professor Lupin!" Hermione was surprised to see the figure of Professor Lupin, "What are you doing here?"

Lupin smiled and said, " Gotta get a job for myself." He led Hermione upstairs, while briefly introducing the company. Along the way, the employees they encountered have greeted Lupin, and soon, they came to an office on the fifth floor.

Pushing open the door, Felix is sitting in a chair, staring attentively at the palm of his hand, where a black lightning bolt coiled. Seeing Lupin and Hermione enter, he dispersed his magic and revealed a smile.

"Remus, I may have to leave temporarily for a few days."

Lupin shook his head and said with a sigh, "When you get back, do you have to make a trip to France?"

Felix said humorously, "Remus, you don't have the gift of prophecy, do you?"

...

"Professor, are you working on the magic lamp?" Hermione asked, as she came over, she saw various shapes of magical creatures, and she noticed that each animal held a glowing ball of magical light, much like the ancient magic illumination she had mastered.

Felix smiled, "The research is done, they're preparing for the Quidditch World Cup, a large light show."

"A light show ..." Hermione imagined the picture and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Well, we're in a bit of a rush today, so when we get back from Egypt, you can stay here and see more." Felix said as he is looking forward to Hermione's graduation to her further study of ancient runes, her current level already surpassed most of the employees in the future world.

And there are still four full years until she graduates from Hogwarts.

...

Egypt, the Nile River Valley.

Felix and Hermione walked through the streets of Cairo, visually feeling the exotic atmosphere that hit them. An Arab with a broken accent asked them if they needed a camel, which they declined, and Hermione watched fondly as the odd-looking camel walked past them, as she fed it a mop of hay on the way off.

"Well, we need to meet your senior first, she must be tired of waiting," said Felix, then he added, "Maybe a camel ride later? I was under the impression that the pyramids were in the desert ..."

At a tavern in the city, Felix and Hermione met Clammy Vera, who is wearing a sunhat with a transparent silk scarf draped from its broad brim. When she lifted the shade, the two saw that her skin got a dark brown tan, as she smiled brightly at them.
