Felix inquired, "Potter, are you here for shopping for your school supplies?"
Harry looked a little shaky as he said vaguely, " erm, I'm currently living in Diagon Alley ... in room eleven of the Leaky Cauldron ..."
He couldn't say that he had blown up his Aunt Marge, and had no place to stay, so he's staying in the Leaky Cauldron with Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge's help?
Felix, somewhat curious about Harry's demeanor, so asked tentatively, "Just by yourself?"
There are certainly quite a few tenants in the Leaky Cauldron Bar, but it is quite obvious, for Harry to understand what the professor meant, "Yeah, just me." He quickly added, trying to divert his attention, "I'm quite comfortable on my own, shopping, eating, and going to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour to do my homework ... By the way, there's Dobby to keep company with me."
Felix also revealed a smile, "If I remember correctly, he should be working at the Leaky Cauldron bar, right?"
When he noticed that Professor Hap didn't pursue further, Harry let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, and he responded enthusiastically, "Yes, Dobby is working at the Leaky Cauldron, he woke me up in the morning for the past two days, but he should be busy serving the customers in the bar at this time."
As the two walked and chatted, Harry introduced more about the slightly odd house elf.
"Dobby sent me a birthday present and a greeting card! He said on it that he earned it, and I've always wondered where he works at -- the letter didn't mention it, but it turned out to be the Leaky Cauldron --" He snapped back to his senses and turned his head to look at Felix in surprise. "Professor, how did you know that?"
Felix said briefly, "Dobby and I are sorts of friends, and he mentioned it in conversation."
Harry nodded, and then Felix asked him: "So, you saw me while you were window-shopping? That's quite a coincidence, another second later I might have left."
Harry explained, "Actually, I saw your Patronus - the silver rainbird, Hermione mentioned it to me. I thought there seemed to be some resemblance at the time, so I waited in the store next to it for a while."
"Did you? A keen observation," Felix replied somewhat carelessly, his attention focused entirely on Harry himself. From a moment ago till now, he had been feeling something wrong with Harry somehow.
He did not move and switched the perspective, in the black and white world, the magic on Harry's body kept jumping around and looked unusually active.
"Professor?"
Harry felt a twinge of discomfort as he felt his gaze, Professor Hap is looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
"Potter," Felix said softly, " The whole thing must have affected you a lot ..."
Harry froze in place as he stammered, "You, you know all about it?" A cold chill ran through him, and he explained in a panic: "I didn't mean to do it, it was Aunt Marge who insulted my parents first, and I just got angry!"
The professor wouldn't have a bad impression of him, right? He just bought the ancient runes textbook yesterday.
"No, you misunderstand, Potter."
The two walked through the wall, then left Diagon Alley, and arrived at the Leaky Cauldron bar. A little past the counter, Felix heard a shrill greeting, "Dear Mr. Hap, Dobby didn't expect to see you and Mr. Potter at the same time, what a day to celebrate!"
The eyes of the others in the bar looked over, they murmured noisily.
Felix calmly looked over in return, his voice lowered before he looked over at the elf, "Dobby, it's been a long time."
Dobby's eyes widened, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with a dirty rag, "Oh~ Mr. Hap remembers Dobby, it's so touching ..."
"Dobby, please arrange a seat for us, Potter and I have something to talk about." Felix looked at him softly.
"Dobby understands, both gentlemen, please follow me."
The elf took them to a relatively secluded seat, served food and drinks, and respectfully left the table.
Harry looked at Felix with a slightly bewildered expression, after he had taken the Knight Bus and been caught by Minister Fudge in front of the bar, the two of them sat in this seat to have a conversation.
Felix did not rush to speak, he pondered how to start a conversation.
Harry stared at the doorpost to his right, where a wanted notice hung, a picture he became very familiar with after two days at the Leaky Cauldron.
"Potter--"
Professor Hap's words brought his sense back to his body and he listened quietly.
"I heard you like dueling course?"
"That's right, Professor." Harry said, "I think it's a great class, and I can learn a lot. Only thing is that we can only get to the class once every two weeks, and some spells are pretty hard."
"By now, I'm not even proficient in the Shield Charm ..."
Felix nodded, "So, do you need some private instruction for a while, Potter? I personally would be happy to oblige."
Harry froze directly, he really did not expect to encounter such a good thing, so good that he could not believe it a bit.
He felt that since he had blown up his aunt, all the acquaintances he met had become strange, Dobby greeted the bar guests skilfully, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, turned a blind eye to his violations, and now, even Professor Hap had offered to train him?
"Of course I do, but why?" He asked cautiously.
"Potter, to be open and honest, your current state is fascinating - your magic is in a very active state, like a constant dancing and burning flame from my point of view."
"All in all, I think it's worth studying."
Felix decided to tell Harry straight up, and there is nothing to hide about the whole thing - except that he wanted to study Potter, which sounded a bit strange.
But put another way, he is concerned about the young wizard who is in a peculiar state, is not much better?
Harry gulped at the words, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Harry, if I am correct, you should have experienced an accidental magic burst recently a few days ago, right?"
"An accidental magic ... burst?"
"You should have heard Similar terms, uncontrolled magic, magic awakening, Underage magic... Many people see it as a sign of magic awakening for a child with magic, but in fact, magic remains throughout all our lives. There are just times when, because of violent mood swings, little wizards display all sorts of magical powers."
Harry listened quietly as his memory returned to a few days ago. Aunt Marge, who kept dogs in the countryside, had come to visit, a rather rude and cynical woman, these two words could not describe a tenth of her character.
Every time s she came, it became a nightmare for Harry.
But in order to get a signature on Hogsmeade's permission form, he put up with her for a whole week, allowing her to verbally humiliate him. The last day she stayed as a guest, she got drunk, mouthed off, and insulted his father and mother so much that it blew his mind.
He didn't have a wand in his hand, but he is a wizard. By the time he came back to his senses, Aunt Marge had swelled like a balloon, like the giant pumpkin Hagrid had grown in the garden last year, but one with tiny, ugly eyes.
He ran away from home in anger, never intending to return to 4 Privet Drive, and waited until he had calmed down before he began to fear that he would be expelled or even imprisoned in Azkaban, in the company of a group of dark wizards.
He even thought of wandering the world, drifting through life to escape the Ministry of Magic, but he needed to fetch some money first. But things always go beyond his expectations - one foot to the door of the Leaky Cauldron bar, the next foot got caught by the Minister of Magic.
Fortunately, Fudge not only did not hold him responsible for anything but also offered him a room at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, telling him to stay in Diagon Alley until the start of the school year and that he must not return to the Muggle world privately.
What reason did he have to refuse?
...
Professor Hap's voice seemed to come from far away, "But this basically occurs during childhood, and by the time the young wizards enrol in school, it mostly won't happen. So, Potter, your case is very rare."
Harry looked up and said in a relieved tone, "I agree, Professor Hap. When do we start?"

Felix chuckled, "Anytime, Potter, I'll temporally move here. But first I have to go back to school and arrange some things. You can think about your own schedule, too."
He stood up, "The special training will be hard, Potter, be prepared. In my personal experience, the period after the accidental magic burst is an excellent time to learn spells, as you will improve by leaps and bounds."
Harry agreed without any hesitation.
Felix found Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, a hunched-back, wrinkled wizard, and at his suggestion, Felix chose room number twelve, right next door to Harry's.
He waved his hand at Harry, who is standing at the top of the stairs, and turned to walk out of the bar, using the public fireplace to return to his office.
He sorted through his recent work, and in addition to attempting to add the Sneakoscope to his curriculum, he came up with some good ideas. Then he rolled these half-finished plans together and tucked them into his ring.
Then he looked at the observation log of the yew wand tree, which he and Professor Flitwick were doing every day, but this job would be handed over to Filius alone for now.
So he went to the charms' professor's office and informed Filius of his conflict in time, and the short professor quickly agreed, smacking his lips and saying, "The accidental magic burst ... also I don't know what happened to Potter, and with you by the boy's side, Minerva will be relieved. "
Felix then also saw Snape's figure in the school, he took a big step, his black robes floating behind him.
"Severus?" He greeted him: "You're back so early?" He knew, that Snape would go home for the holidays every year, and usually returned to school only a day before the school started.
Snape said with a stern face, suppressing his discontent: "You'll have to ask our esteemed Headmaster Dumbledore, who called me back in order to brew a disgusting potion."
He seems to be in a bad mood at the moment, throwing off his cloak and quickly walking away.
Disgusting potion, what could it be? Felix watched his back curiously.
Ten minutes later, Felix returned to Diagon Alley again. He knocked on room eleven and saw Harry's bed littered with miscellaneous items, textbooks for various subjects, parchment, bottles of ink, and a broom repair kit.
"Professor, I'm going over my assignments, well, I have three History of Magic thesis, two Potions thesis, and a charm thesis left to write."
"History of Magic ..."
Harry clearly heard a groan of discomfort from Professor Hap, but the professor said nothing more as he took a seat across the table in front of him.
"Time is precious, Potter," Felix said, "I will guide you through your homework - in your spare time."
...
The owner of the Leaky Cauldron Bar offered an empty basement that, according to him, had been abandoned for a long time.
Old Tom hunched over with a toothless grin, "I remember there are still some protective wards here, but that too may have expired, and you'll need to deal with it yourselves."
He snapped his fingers a few times, and the torches stuck in the wall lit up. He then bowed and stepped back to leave.
Felix waved his wand and cleared the room of the dust and cobwebs that had accumulated. And smoothed out a few broken bits of flooring. When his wand touched the floor, the ground like waves undulating, Harry seemed to be in a small boat, which reminded him of the first time Hagrid took him on a boat ride.
When everything quieted down, the wooden floor turned into an exotic carpet.
Harry took a few steps back and forth, and it didn't feel as soft as he thought it would, to which Professor Hap explained, "I didn't create a few cushions, so you could practice your magic in comfort."
As he watched, some bits and pieces of trinkets flew out of Professor Hap's ring, and they popped into a small square table, two armchairs, and some human-shaped targets.
At the moment, Felix is sitting in the chair, watching him from behind the square table.
"Here, Potter, let's practice your best spell for the first hundred times."
Harry's hand holding the wand shook unnaturally, this does not seem to be what he thought ...
He also thought that he would struggle to dodge the professor's attacks, like a chipmunk constantly jumping, while Professor Hap easily waved his spells, to show off his might.
But now, Professor Hap behaved like a scholar, sitting quietly in a chair, if he put a gold-rimmed glasses, it would look more like a teacher he saw in the Muggle school.
Harry looked at the target seven or eight meters away from himself, he waved his wand and shouted: "Expelliarmus!" A red light flew from the tip of his wand and hit the wall, but it was a full two feet away from the human-sized target.
"Uh, sorry, I missed."
"That's okay, keep going."
So Harry waved his wand continuously, a red light flew out, and after almost half an hour, he shouted out in a hoarse voice breathlessly, "Expelliarmus ..." which resulted in his wand merely spewing out a string of sparks.
"Well, we stop, for now, come and sit over here," Felix said.
Harry walked wearily to the other side of the square table and sat down, he looked at Professor Hap across the table, he is writing and drawing on parchment. Half a minute later, he looked up, "I know enough about this spell of yours, good, we finished the first step of the test."
"Just a mere test?" Harry shouted out in surprise, he was going to die of exhaustion, every cell in his body was desperately screaming in pain.
Felix curled his mouth and whispered in an enchanting tone, "Potter, at your age, I already understand the disarming charm no better than an ordinary adult wizard, and you have every potential to do so."
"In addition to the disarming charm, the not-quite-skilled shield charm, as you said yourself."
"And the tongue-Tying Curse, I will even throw you an extra simple and practical spell or two ..."
Harry swallowed, with the help of the bright firelight in the basement, despite the respect, he felt he saw the devil's smile.
But he must admit that his heart thumped.
Professor Hap hadn't said what would happen if he learned the spells, but he couldn't help but make the connection; the adoration of his classmates, the extra credit in class, and maybe the chance to show off his abilities in front of the girl he loved ...
With a little tremble in his voice, he said, "Professor, I'm at your disposal." He felt like he sounded tragic when he spoke, as if he was about to head to the execution ground.
Felix took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to him, "Eat something first, and we'll do the second test next."
Ten minutes later.
Felix and Harry were seven or eight meters apart, facing each other.
"Potter, we're here to test the maximum power of your spell this time. You have to fully mobilize your emotions, remember what we mentioned in the dueling class? Determination, confidence, and most importantly the INTENT, the disarming charm is meant to protect yourself and disable your enemy's ability to harm you."
Harry nodded, he took a deep breath and imagined that across the room stood Malfoy, who suddenly turned into a gargoyle with Peregrine hair, waving a club towards him ...
"Puff!" He burst out laughing, "Uh, sorry."
After brewing his emotions for a while -
"Expelliarmus!"
Harry hissed and shouted as a finger-thick red light rushed straight at Felix, and stopped by an invisible barrier.
"Not enough, Potter, let me see your potential!" Felix cheered.
Harry gritted his teeth, mobilized his magic with all his might, and for a moment, he really felt the difference, it seemed to be the "active magic" as Professor Hap had said, and he thought to himself: disarm, make the enemy lose the ability to hurt me ...
He thought of the real enemies, Professor Quirrell, the Basilisk, and ... Voldemort!
The red light became as thin as a hair after a few tremors, Felix almost thought he had failed, but the next second, a searing beam of light flew out from Harry's wand, spanning seven or eight meters, and instantly crashed into Felix's shield charm.
The two magic spells wrestled in midair, and a low rumble echoed through the basement.

Chapter 177 Harry's Special Training
Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) by Crazy_Darkside_Cat

" Potter, wake up! Potter ..."
Harry opened his eyes slowly, the light of the torch is a bit glaring, which made Professor Hap's shadow a bit blurred.
For a moment, his expression looked somewhat dazed.
He then rose from the ground and straightened his glasses, "What's happened to me?"
"Exhaustion plus dehydration, a very normal phenomenon." Felix looked at him, "That's enough for today, let's go up and get something to eat, and I'll also work on your special training plan."
Harry felt very uncomfortable, his limbs were weak, and he felt light.
He followed Felix's footsteps stumbling on the stairs, his stomach turned upside down.
It wasn't until he downed a large glass of juice and ate two pies that he felt alive again and is in the mood to think about something.
"Professor, you said this is normal, do you have a similar experience? Also, you told me that the period after an accidental magic burst is perfect for practicing spells, is this your personal experience ..."
Harry's tone slowly lightened, he remembered Hermione once very emotionally expressed sympathy for Professor Hap.
It was a time when the news of the Dueling Club was released and the topic of discussion revolved around the word "dueling". Professor Hap's 'brilliant experience' was once again brought out and talked about, the boys all wanted to take his place, and the young witches were adoring or sympathetic to the injustice during his school days.
And Hermione is one of them.
At the time, Harry could not understand her thought process, but now, he suddenly understood a little.
In the face of his question, Felix said shortly, "Indeed ..."
What Indeed? As Harry lay in bed in a room where he stayed, he's still thinking about this question.
Early in the following morning, Harry is woken up by Dobby's knock on the door, he opened the door in a daze, the elf respectfully passed over the toiletries, next to him stood Professor Hap.
"Come on, Potter, we've got a big day ahead of us."
Harry felt a novel experience, similar to the feeling he had when he was a guest in a Burrow and woken up by Mrs. Weasley. Rarely would any adult intervene in his daily life and remind him to brush his teeth at the right time - if you didn't count the angry rantings of the Dursley's towards him.
All morning they hunkered down in the basement as he kept casting the disarming charm, and in the words of Professor Hap, "We want to maximize the benefits, and you'll find that at the student level, one trick pushes all the right buttons."
He feels like he's about to throw up, but Professor Hap takes great trouble to point out his mistakes and spends a lot of time explaining the trick to the spell's advancement.
"You have to imagine yourself as a dualist, or a newcomer Auror. Your magic is very active, and you can feel it, mobilize it so that you can control it, and let it flow out in a stream." Felix said as he applied a Supersensory Charm on Harry.
"Also, this is a good time to learn silent casting of the disarming charm."
"And the theory of the spell part, I'll only cover the ones most related to the disarming charm, it probably won't help you learn the other spells, but we're going to speed up time and I want to see how far you'll go."
Harry found that in the basement, Professor Hap always seemed unsympathetic, he would wake him up again and again after he collapsed on the floor without even a second's delay, but after the special training, he would take him to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, or just stand with him outside the window of the Quality Quidditch Supplies, as he admired the latest model of Firebolt.
Of course, Harry guessed that the broom was not on Professor Hap's mind, because once again, after wondering for two minutes he would ask him about the disarming charm, "Isn't there a feeling of euphoria? Like you were born to know this charm."
His reply at the time was a bit sloppy, and he couldn't remember if it was "kind of like that" or an unassuming "just like that".
They also ran into Neville Longbottom, his classmate, a round-faced, fidgety boy. He followed his grandmother, who looked ghastly, carrying a large red handbag in one hand, and was sternly reprimanding Neville.
Harry wanted to run away because he had impersonated Neville while riding the Knight Bus, and he hoped that Neville's grandmother would never find out about it.
But Neville saw Harry and waved excitedly at him: "Harry, Harry! It's so good to meet you, I lost my book list."
Harry hurriedly borrowed a piece of parchment from Professor Hap and wrote the name of the new course material on it.
"Ah, you are Harry Potter, right, Neville mentioned you to me, a good boy, very talented. You guided him in disarming charm, and he said you were a quick learner, unlike him ..." Neville's grandmother clutched her handbag tightly, her eyebrows knitted together, "The boy did not inherit his parents' talent, and I was worried until he received an Admission letter,"
Neville grimaced and peeked at Harry, and Harry did not dare to speak, the old woman is really intimidating, but to his surprise, a silent Professor Hap spoke up: "Neville Longbottom, I saw you on the list of students who chose my class, I am glad you will take my class."
"You're a professor at Hogwarts?" Neville's grandmother asked.
"Felix Hap, I teach Ancient Runes, ma'am."
"I've heard of your name, Mr. Hap, and I admire your courage, not anyone would dare to face a despicable pureblood family," she pointed proudly at Neville, "like his parents, who were on the front lines resisting dark lord's rule all through the war years, even when tortured by some scum ..."
She wiped the corners of her eyes and led Neville away.
Neville mouthed at Harry: see you on the train. With that, he is dragged away.
"What happened to Neville's parents?" Harry asked as he looked at his back.
Felix replied, "I'm not really sure, I think they were killed in the battle with the Death Eaters."
...
A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Professor Hap showed him a thick pile of charts.
"These are the data of me practicing the disarming charm?" Harry asked in surprise, pointing at the thick parchment.
"There is no need to make a fuss, to tell you a secret, I have made a fortune in the Muggle world based on this!" Felix said jokingly.
Harry looked at the curve above, with ten casts as a unit, his progress isn't obvious, but if you take a hundred casting as a unit, his progress rate is a bit unbelievable.
"Interesting, isn't it? No one has ever really worked on this." Felix said in a brisk tone.
"Professor Hap, I've reached level four on the disarming charm?" Harry couldn't help but stare at the note on the parchment that seemed to be at the level the Auror had reached after a few years of service.
"Ah, you remember the division of it?" Felix said, "In a way, it does meet that requirement. You can flexibly control the power of the disarming charm and make more delicate manipulations, such as drawing an arc, casting a silent spell, and so on ..."
Harry's mood became delighted, like eating a row of ten strawberry ice cream, from head to toe with a surge of pleasure. But Professor Hap quickly threw a bucket of cold water -
"Only this one charm, Potter, if you want to go further in the field of dueling, you should consider establishing your own fighting style in due course."
"Fighting style?"
"Like which spell to use as the core-"
" Disarming charm!" Harry said without thinking.
"... don't decide easily, besides, there should be complementary spell structure, such as: what spell you use to defend, what spells to attack; which spell is used to hold the opponent down, which is to deal with tricky problems, all these, you should think clearly."
"Needless to say the pace of battle, critical judgment, scenario foresight, and so on."
"Of course, there is targeted knowledge, well, maybe I'm asking too much from you, this is beyond the level of the average Auror."
Harry excitedly took a notebook to write down: "That's okay, you can say as comprehensive as possible." He got inspired to imitate Hermione's tone of voice: "Professor, in fact, I want to write a related thesis!"
"... Very well, I will say it."
In the days before the school began, Professor Hap did not ask him to continue to cast the Disarming Charm - a relief that he had finally been exposed to a second spell.
"Potter--"
"Professor, you can call me Harry," Harry said with some apprehension, having practiced in the mirror several times this morning just to say this phrase.
After a few moments of silence across the table, just as he was somewhat remorseful for his recklessness, Felix said, "Yes, Harry, I'll call you that in private."
"Your disarming charm will hardly improve in a short time, even with my all-round assistance you can't-"
"Professor, I'm already satisfied," Harry said contentedly, he had changed for the better, at least he didn't think beating Malfoy and his two followers would be a problem.
He saw Professor Hap smiling at him, "I also got the test data I wanted, and you are gradually getting your Magic activity back to normal, I've tried to prolong the process as much as I can, but alas, I can't defy the laws of nature yet."
"In the next day or two, we learn some spells to surprise, the results will be three to five times quicker than your regular results."
Harry nodded his head hurriedly.
