A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 228: Diffusion of influence

The crowd dispersed, and the little wizards were still discussing the topic of the couple mirror enthusiastically. In a corner of the lounge, Harry said thoughtfully: "Fred and George must have referred to the real phone, but at present Only one-to-one calls can be realized.”

"Is that the dropped... phone call I called you on vacation?" Ron said, "What a weird word!"

Harry recalled: "You yelled so hard at the time, I felt that you thought you were talking to someone halfway across the Quidditch pitch, for fear that the other side might not be able to hear you clearly."

"I got you into trouble that time, and it was your uncle who answered the voice." Ron said awkwardly.

"Yeah, he gave me a hard time after he hung up the phone and almost shoved me back in the cupboard," said Harry indifferently.

Ron and Hermione looked at him worriedly, and Hermione said angrily, "Your family is terrible!"

Harry shrugged, "This is the only place I can go on summer vacation. Fortunately, it's only two months, and I can move out when I grow up."

Ron said suddenly: "Why don't you come to the Burrow directly during the summer vacation. It happens that there will be the Quidditch World Cup next summer. My dad can get a ticket from the Ministry."

Harry's heart skipped a beat, "Can you?"

"It's not the first time anyway, my parents will definitely welcome you, let alone Ginny..."

Harry's mood brightened, and it didn't even matter that he couldn't go to Hogsmeade for the weekend, "I bet the Dursleys would let me go, especially if I did something to Aunt Marge. After that incident."

Hermione thought for a while and said, "Harry, judging from the address of the Dursleys, you should live not far from London, and you are welcome to come to my house as a guest. When the time comes," she laughed, " I introduced it to my parents, saying that you are Mick, a wizard kid."

"What's that?" Harry asked.

"The protagonist of a magical comic book, from the wizarding world." Hermione said.

"Why haven't I heard of it at all?" Ron looked at her suspiciously.

"It didn't take long because it was published. I bought it from Lihen Bookstore through Owl two days ago." Hermione hurried back to the dormitory, and not long after, she came back with a stack of books, and there was a "bang" Hit it on the small round table.

Harry was fiddling with these books, one was obviously a big one, the name was "Magic" in the Muggle World, and the rest was a whole set of comic strips, slightly thinner in thickness, but larger in horizontal size, On the cover is a playground, and a little boy dressed as a wizard is looking around at the gate of the playground. The title of the book is "The Adventures of Mick the Little Wizard".

Ron glanced at the tome in fear, without touching it, he flipped through the comics, and soon became fascinated. "Wow, that's interesting!"

Harry noticed the author's name on the cover: Felix Haip, "Is this the work of Professor Haip?" He said in surprise, it is hard to imagine that Professor Haip would create a comic strip.

He thought he had read it wrong, and subconsciously opened the tome "Magic" in the Muggle World. There were densely packed small characters and various illustrations on it, which made him dizzy.

This is Professor Haipu's style!

Ron closed the book and looked at the lower right corner of the cover carefully, "Really! Wait, L.C.A Comics Publishing House, my God, this is my favorite publishing house!" Hermione was looking at him blankly.

"This is "The Adventures of Martin Miggs" published by the famous L and theirs, which was my favorite when I was a child!"

Harry suddenly remembered that the last time he went to the Burrow, he had seen this set of comic strips in Ron's room, but the magic on them had almost disappeared, and the movement of the character in the beret in the book was stuck It was so powerful that it was uncomfortable to watch.

He opened the brand new "The Adventures of Mick the Little Wizard", and opened a page at random. This page is divided into nine screens, from the first screen to the end, telling the story of the little wizard Mick and his friends. My first experience with a pop-up toaster was when I was a guest at home.

Looking at the comic strip, Mick pointed at the slice of bread that popped up suddenly, with his mouth wide open, matching the words in the book: "This is magic, definitely magic!" Harry couldn't help laughing When he woke up, he had seen a toaster in the Dursleys, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting from a different perspective.

He even began to look forward to whether Ron would have the same expression of surprise from ear to ear when he saw the actual toaster.

Harry and Ron quickly got together and read them from the first page in order.

"Wait, I haven't finished reading yet." Seeing that Harry was about to turn the page, Ron said hurriedly.

Hermione looked at them with some puzzlement: "Although I admit that this set of comic strips is very beautiful, you don't need to be so exaggerated, right?"

Ron raised his head, "Exaggeration? It's definitely the best comic strip in the past ten years. I bet it's a work comparable to "The Adventures of Martin Miggs", and speaking of it, Martin's book is actually a bit outdated..."

Harry said honestly: "I also think it looks good, as if my ordinary life in the past eleven years has suddenly become extraordinary."

"But—" said Hermione, "don't you think the book "Magic in the Muggle World" is more logical and charming?" She turned a page of the tome, "Look , the prototype of the steam engine is described here, and a large airship is even conceived in combination with the floating spell..."

Ron looked up blankly, "What are you talking about, Hermione? What is a steam engine, what is a large airship?"

Seeing that Hermione had the idea of ​​forcibly popularizing science, Ron quickly hid behind the comic strip and said loudly, "Oh, Harry, look, why is the slice of bread bouncing..."

His voice drew their roommate, Seamus Finnigan, and by the way Neville and Dean Thomas, pointing at the comic strip.

Some little wizards thought there was something exciting to watch, so they also gathered around.

Dean Thomas, who grew up in the Muggle world, saw one of the pages and couldn't help but introduce: "This is an ice cream machine, which is very convenient. You only need to add cream, milk and other ingredients, and you can get a steady stream of ice cream. ice cream."

Others looked at him blankly, and Dean said proudly, "My uncle has a mobile ice cream truck. I used to play on it when I was a child." Constant ice cream eating.

Hermione tried several times to popularize the greatness of steam engines and large airships to the young wizards, but all she got was a polite glance, and then everyone turned their attention to the comic strip.

Percy did not show much interest, but he wrote down the title of the book, "I think it is necessary to recommend it to Mrs. Pince, Hogwarts needs this book."

Hermione couldn't understand why everyone didn't like steam engines and airships?

When Hermione asked this question the next day after Ancient Runes class was over, Felix laughed: "Granger, you have a special... love of knowledge, but you can't expect others to be like you , interested in somewhat boring knowledge.

That book is for adults, and it can even be used as a reference book, and you can read the corresponding entries when you need it.

Oh, by the way, here is the list of the Rune Club, and these coins, I need you to distribute to the students on the list, you can ask Percy for help, he is the president of the student union. "

Hermione had no objection, she just looked at the stacked copper Knuts, "Is this Fever Knuts?"

"That's right, I changed it casually, it was inspired by Fred and George, they can generate heat and display text." Felix said, "The time for the first club meeting has not yet been set, My schedule is full recently, and I may have to wait until mid-November.”

Hermione nodded, ready to put away the list and coins, but she still couldn't help frowning when she saw the names of Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass, and Pansy Parkinson.

Felix turned his head and waved to Harry, "Potter, come this way!"

Harry, who was waiting for Hermione at the door, came over and looked at Professor Haip with some trepidation. His dissertation was still short of finishing, so don't bother him at this time.

Fortunately, Felix didn't ask about the thesis. He whispered, "Harry, do you still have that looking glass with you?"

Harry took out the pocket looking glass from his pocket, and Felix took it. "Wait a minute," he said, then tapped it repeatedly with his wand, and soon, Felix drew a line from the looking glass. The filament, he quickly pulled the filament onto a gold Galleon.

"What's this?" Harry asked in surprise.

"A kind of synchronization magic," Felix explained, "as soon as the pocket looking glass is triggered, I'll get the message ~IndoMTL.com~ no matter where you are."

Harry understands that Professor Hap is concerned about his own safety, just like Mr. Weasley, he sent a reply some time ago, in which he severely criticized the three for trying to pry into Sirius Black's secret Behavior, thinking that this is "reckless, undesirable, and unnecessary, and staying in school is the best choice."

In comparison, he still prefers Professor Haipu's approach, at least he doesn't intend to put himself in a cage.

In the next few days, the little wizards ushered in the first Hogsmeade weekend of the new school year, and many of them had a wonderful time.

For example, the Weasley twins went to Zuko’s joke shop to purchase a batch of stink bombs. In their words: “Without the company of these cute, smelly little guys, we will inevitably be flustered and bewildered... ..." "When I saw Filch, I felt uncomfortable, as if something was missing."

The Halloween dinner was also great, and the ghosts in the castle put on a perfect show. But soon, the little wizards were all absorbed by the approaching first Quidditch match.

On the first Saturday in November, thunder rumbles, the wind howls and the rain pours down.
