A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 328: gift

Latest URL: After some bargaining, Felix purchased three sets of equipment each, and then he took Lupine and the twins through the streets and alleys of London, citing the names of Muggle companies, and purchased a batch of Miscellaneous things.

Back to the Future World Company in Diagon Alley, Felix piled up these items in the lobby, forming a hill, attracting crowds of onlookers. , but also to see the boss of the company who never showed up.

Felix led them to sit together and had a brief meeting.

"I will live here for a while, and work with everyone to make the company's first product." Felix said, "By the way, I will transform some magic machines."

Clivatt reminded him: "Professor Haip, oh sorry, boss—"

"It doesn't matter, you can still call me Professor, or Hep." Felix said with a smile.

"...Okay, professor," Penello said nervously, but she quickly got into work. "We need to consider the attitude of the Ministry of Magic, especially the Department of Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items."

"You mean the department Arthur Weasley is in charge of?" Felix said pointedly.

Penello blushed and pretended not to hear, "The responsibility of this department is to prohibit the use of magic on things made by Muggles, in case they return to Muggles' shops or homes."

Felix saw that other people had similar worries. He thought for a while and replied seriously: "This is indeed a problem, but I have studied this part of the law carefully, and it does not affect us much. Report those engraving machines to the Ministry of Magic."

"Following this topic, you will find that the entire law is for one purpose, which is to prevent the exposure of the magic world."

"To sum up, the prohibition of misuse of Muggle items mainly has three meanings." Felix glanced around, looked at the people with confused expressions, and said with fingers, "First, it is forbidden to cast malicious spells, tease Muggles; second, the sale of enchanted products in the form of Muggle items is prohibited, especially their unique things, such as a toaster;" He smiled, "Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, the Ministry of Magic has a special list Yes, not all of them are allowed.”

"Thirdly, it is forbidden to modify without permission and add other functions. I don’t know. So there is only one thing worth noting—” He said in a low voice with a long voice: “That is, don’t use it in front of ordinary people.”

The Weasley twins looked at each other, and Fred snickered and said, "Dad's mind is clearly understood." But he knew that this law was drafted by his father, and he had a good understanding of the laws in the Muggle world. Everything is curious, for which he has left himself many back doors.

Before Arthur Weasley, the Ministry of Magic law was blank, but with the increasing number of examples of misuse of Muggle items, the Ministry of Magic finally thought of making a law around it, Mr. Weasley It was against this background that the law was enacted and he served as the head of this department.

Felix continued: "One of our tenets is the improvement and transformation of Muggle items. What does this mean? It is not a simple copy, but a reference to the wisdom they have shown, not a specific thing ;"

"For example, the magic lamp, its principle is completely different from the electric lamps used by ordinary people, the only thing in common is that they can all emit light."

Everyone laughed lowly, and the worries in their hearts dissipated. Most of them actually didn't have the courage to openly defy the Ministry of Magic.

"In this process, you will find that what we are using is a conceptual thing - a more convenient and practical way of lighting. We don't need to work hard to learn how to use electric energy, how to study the materials and Principles, but thinking about how to use magic to achieve the effect we want.”

Felix looked at the crowd and said seriously: "I don't want to see everyone's prejudice against the non-magical world in the 'future world'. Any specific person or specific group, as long as it has obvious External features will never be liked by everyone. To put it bluntly, some people see the advantages, and some people see the disadvantages..."

"I don't want you to be entangled in these boring things. With an appreciative heart, you will find that in the past few hundred years, the outside world has also made remarkable achievements. The wisdom, ideas and achievements they display are worth learning from.”

For the next few days, Felix stayed in the vertical castle in the future world. Lupine, Penello, and several seventh-grade graduates who mastered the ancient magic of lighting technique completed a pair of The task of designing the magic lamp.

The most difficult thing here is how to store the rune sequence of ancient magic on a specific object. Felix rummaged through the information left by Nick Flamel, and finally found an enchantment like flowing mercury materials, shaping them magically.

This process required a lot of trial and error, and Snape came here to protest because he disliked the materials being consumed too quickly, so he was dragged by Felix to join the research.

The basic chandeliers, candlesticks, and lantern-shaped magic lamps were successfully completed one after another. After that, a witch who graduated from Ravenclaw proposed to use Transfiguration to design an eagle shape. When using it, you only need to read a specific syllable, the eagle will flutter its wings, fly into the air, and spit out a bright ball of light.

This idea was unanimously praised by 17 employees who graduated from Ravenclaw College. Later, more forms of magic lamps were proposed. Badgers with masters walking around, and snake-shaped magic lamps inlaid with green gems also appeared one after another.

Felix added several dragon shapes, and used transfiguration to change the emitted light into the shape of breath.

The purchased engraving machine also came in handy. Felix never expected to use it so soon. He just made a simple modification to let the employees familiarize themselves with its operation in their free time and try to propose improvements. Opinion.

As a result, a wizard named "Fink David" came up with an idea. When he was fiddling with the engraving machine, a flash of inspiration flashed. He suggested that a batch of rune cards could be made by imitating the chocolate frog cards. , and the most basic engraving part is handed over to the machine to complete.

Felix was very interested in this idea, and he perfected this idea on this basis - using a machine to complete the engraving part, and then coating a layer of enchanting material on the card, wizards can hold the card and use it Practice the corresponding runes by following the imprints on them with your fingers.

Felix felt that he would add another teaching tool to his ancient rune class this year, so he happily ordered a batch, which gave the company its first business.

Soon, the first batch of 100 rune cards was finalized. It can be regarded as a simplified version of Hermione's rune carving knife on the chestnut board. There is only one angle for reference, which is magic power of stability. Once successful, the magic symbol corresponding to the rune will be displayed, such as a waterfall or a flame. Of course, this is just an illusion of magic.

The twins come up with a gag version where the card screams piercingly as soon as the magic breaks and taunts loudly the wizard who uses it.

"This is the inspiration that life gives us." Fred said with emotion.

Felix was afraid that the little wizards would shut themselves down collectively, so he didn't use it. He valued the auxiliary function of the magic text cards in learning the magic text, but the twins never tired of it. They also tried to add a few cards to the stack of real cards. A fake card, if you try to inject magic power, the card will transform into a nest of mice, scurrying around.

George said with a smile: "We can give it to Harry as a birthday present."

…

In the early morning of July 31st.

When Harry unwrapped the gift, he was a little dazed. Professor Hype and the Weasley twins gave the exact same gift, a stack of cards, and even the instructions were the same.

However, there was a weird smiling face drawn on the manual of the Weasley twins, which made him a little flustered.

He curiously followed the instructions in the manual, trying to trace on the card with his fingers and inject magic power. The moment he succeeded, a green wand tree phantom popped out of the card, swaying gently, and issued a The sound of "rustling".

Harry stared at it for a while, and tried other different cards with great interest, and he got to know many strange runes from this. However, he finally discovered the difference between these two gifts.

After a failed attempt, the card made a "bang" sound, the purple smoke exploded, and the card turned into five or six fat mice running around the narrow gaps in the room, which startled him a lot. He tried to get the little ones out from under the bed, and they squeaked even more.

When he heard Uncle Vernon's snoring, he didn't try to act aggressively, and waited quietly for a while. The fat mice ran out by themselves and gathered together. After a cloud of purple smoke passed, they returned to one cards.

Harry unwrapped other presents. Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid gave him three super big cakes, which made Dudley's weight loss plan completely unaffected to him. In fact, except for breakfast, he usually It was to sneak into the house rented by Sirius, and stay there until the evening before returning.

In addition to satisfying his desire for family affection, Harry discovered a benefit he hadn't thought of before, that is, he could cast spells outside the school. Next door to Mrs. Figg, Harry had access to Sirius' spare wand—according to him, the wand he snatched from the Dark Wizard didn't go very well, and he went to Ollivander to get a new one.

And the Dragon Heartstring wand was held and used by Harry. In fact, he was not used to it. He and Sirius were practicing duels in the house that had been cast with the Fixture Charm. It was originally just one afternoon, Sirius and Harry slumped on the sofa, protesting against the boring TV show, and it turned out that Sirius was unexpectedly keen on this game.

He taught Harry a lot of dueling skills, but he soon discovered that Harry had formed his own fighting style, although it was a little immature, it did exist. And Harry's level is very high, which makes the duel game between them closer to real battles.

Sirius called out Harry's father's name more than once, which made Harry feel sad and moved.

There was an episode in the middle, the Ministry of Magic sent him a letter warning him of the fact that he was casting spells outside the school, and then Sirius sent back a roaring letter, and then the Ministry of Magic had nothing to say.

Harry was a little worried at first, but Sirius explained: "This law is aimed at Muggle-born students to prevent them from exposing themselves in front of Muggles, but do you think they will control children from wizarding families?"

Harry was happily persuaded, and he wrote this matter into the letter. Hermione said in the letter that she also wanted to learn from Sirius, and sent him a Howler letter. Harry smiled very brightly, But when he read the back of the letter, when Hermione mentioned that she was studying curses, he couldn't help laughing.

…

In the bedroom, Harry opened Sirius' gift box, which was only the size of a palm and square, and when he touched the lid, there was a sound inside. Harry froze for a moment, he wasn't worried about a curse, but worried about the weird gift Sirius sent him.

Harry had already discovered that his godfather was not as mature as himself in some aspects. He couldn't cook for himself, for example, and he was terrible with housework magic, and if it wasn't for Kreacher, he figured Sirius would have moved in with the Dursleys and fought them that day.

He opened the lid carefully, and a golden, round object flew out. Harry instinctively reached out to catch it, his heart skipped a beat, and through the gap between his fingertips, he saw a beautiful shiny object. The glowing Snitch, Harry's eyes glowed, the gift was just what he wanted.

There is also a note in the box——

'Dear Harry

I've been meaning to give you this gift for a long time, I found it from Felix's office with only one wing intact, I asked Felix to fix it and make some interesting changes , but if you find out for yourself, it would be boring to tell all the secrets.

Also ~IndoMTL.com~ When he was in school, James often stole the Golden Snitch from the team for a while, pretending to be cool to attract Lily's attention, I strongly recommend you to try it.

Your godfather Sirius. ’

Harry grinned, he let go of his clenched hands, the Snitch slowly spread its wings, and disappeared with a "whoosh". Glancing left and right, he quickly caught sight of it and held it firmly as it flew past Harry's left ear.

Harry shook it vigorously, and the Golden Snitch calmed down, obediently stopping in his hand. He seemed to hear a small and trivial voice. He put the Golden Snitch to his ear and shook it gently. The voice was more obvious this time.

Harry pressed the surface of the Snitch, its metal shell suddenly opened, Harry noticed something stuffed inside, he tilted the opening towards the bed, "Wow!"

A pile of assorted treats littered the bed and rolled everywhere—chocolate frogs, cauldron cake, **** newt biscuits, dragon's milk cheese, and a candy spree from Honeydukes.

"Wow," said Harry in admiration.
