Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 344

This is the "joke props studio" hidden in a secret passage in Hogwarts.

There was a whining sound of wind coming from the air vents on the ceiling, and on several old desks that were put together, a dozen candles were burning blazingly at the same time.

"Why didn't I know there is such a fun thing? This is a combination of a telescope and a camera. The magic is amazing!"

"We've known it for a long time, but we couldn't afford it before."

"And then I forgot when I could afford it."

Eddie and the Weasley twins were having so much fun with the panoramic binoculars Scott had bought that they almost forgot what they were about to do.

Fred held the binoculars in front of his eyes and said excitedly, "I really want to go to a ball game with this thing."

"To be honest, I also have this idea. After all, this is something we have dreamed of." George said with some regret, "It's a pity that our Gryffindor will play this Saturday."

"I can use this telescope to watch your game!" Eddie exclaimed. "Of course, if you play well, I will keep some highlights."

"Oh sure! Who do you think we are?"

The twins immediately yelled.

"We're the greatest batsmen Gryffindor has ever seen!"

Scott is also testing research with a panoramic telescope.

The operation of this thing is very simple, similar to the panoramic binoculars used by Muggles, except that there are two more rotatable circular roulettes, which are respectively responsible for returning to the square and adjusting the playback speed.

Of course, it's not as easy to operate as a Muggle camera.

Scott wanted to take apart the panoramic telescope in his hand and figure out how this function was achieved.

If he can analyze the rune circuit engraved inside, maybe he can evolve the listening bat into a monitoring bat that includes both monitoring and listening functions.

This means something to him.

The meaning of this monitoring bat, which is still in conception, is not only to help him monitor some secrets, but also can be used in battle.

As long as he is used to training, he can see all directions and hear all directions during battle, complementing the magic perception, thus gaining an advantage in the battle with others.

Such an idea is of course good, but it is a pity that it is very difficult to implement.

According to the usual practice of businessmen in the magic world, the products of this kind of alchemy products generally have corresponding confidentiality measures, and cannot be easily disassembled for research and copying.

Whether it is a broomstick or a joke prop, basically there is no room for people to crack it.

If Scott dismantled the panoramic telescope in his hand forcefully, the runic circuit inscribed inside it might self-destruct.

Fortunately, Scott has a mentor who has a very high achievement in alchemy and even created a magical secret room like the Room of Response. Otherwise, he really doesn't have the confidence to crack the secret of the panoramic telescope.

Under the guidance of Ravenclaw mentors, he felt that he could still succeed.

"Scott."

Eddie, who had had enough, called Scott.

"What should we do next?" he asked.

Hearing his question, Fred and George also stopped playing and turned to look at Scott.

"Next." Scott smiled, "Of course, first inquire about the location and layout of Gunter's old house."

Eddie suddenly showed embarrassment, "Sorry, this matter is very difficult, and it is beyond my ability."

"Did you hear that?" Fred said to George exaggeratedly.

George nodded with a sad face, "I heard."

"What do you two mean?" Eddie stared at the twins suspiciously and warily.

"We're just sorry." Fred reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tears that didn't exist.

George's movements were synchronized with his brother's, and at the same time he sighed with feigned sadness, "Our little gossip Mr. Eddieka Mitchell actually encountered news that he couldn't find out."

"This is so sad!" The two said in unison, their voices choked.

"You are embarrassing me!" Eddie said unconvinced, "If this is the Muggle world, I can get a detailed map of Little Hangleton Village through many means without leaving home!"

"This is Hogwarts." George shrugged.

Fred also straightened his expression, "Well, we can't do this either."

"Let me settle this matter." Scott said.

The other three looked at him curiously.

"What do you want to do?" Eddie asked.

Scott shook the panoramic telescope in his hand, "Let a telescope to investigate carefully first."

All three of them looked at him with understanding expressions on their faces.

"Then I'll leave it to you." The three said at the same time.

"..." Scott was speechless for a moment before agreeing, "Okay."

He suddenly wondered why he got involved in such a troublesome matter.

But since he's already mixed in half, and he's also curious about what's going to happen there, so he's not going to back down.

"There is one thing we all know very well. We must not be the only ones staring at Gaunt's old house." He said to the three companions, "I will go there in advance to set up and I don't know how many groups of people there will be. Discovery is what matters."

"The resurrected witch, the evil devil, and the righteous Auror." Eddie muttered, "Maybe there is also a great principal."

"Isn't it too difficult not to be discovered?" George frowned.

Fred smiled and asked Scott, "What do you want to do? Do you already have an idea?"

Scott was a little helpless. If it wasn't for Medea's existence, sending Rimbaud and the crows to Little Hangleton would be the best way.

It's a pity that Medea already knew his ability to "serve" crows.

But there is always only one way he can think of to detect the terrain...

"It can only break through the air." He said to his companions, "In order not to be noticed, you must fly higher."

Eddie frowned, "The opponent also has air guards, don't forget the Thestrals that Hogwarts lost."

"Yeah." Of course Skater understood this, "Just wait until you try it."

He decides to use Transfiguration to "create" an eagle that can fly high and take a panoramic telescope to investigate.

Due to the complexity of the task, the eagle must be "smarter" and have a certain amount of wisdom to complete the task.

After excluding Rimbaud and the crows, he can only strengthen the Transfiguration through a simpler "personal design".

Scott quickly thought of the "personal design" in his mind, and repeated the memory again and again until he tried to "deceive" himself that the "personal design" was real.

Of course, compared to Rimbaud, this character design is too simple-Scott only needs the eagle to have the memory and wisdom to complete the scouting mission.

After everything was ready, Scott took out the ebony wood that best matched his magic power from the deformed lizard skin bag, and slowly waved the ebony wand in his hand.

He chanted the incantation of the Transformation Mantra in his mouth, and he firmly thought about the "human design" in his mind.

Transfiguration was a quick success.

Since no rune circuit was inscribed and no spell was applied, Scott could feel that the handsome eagle born under his transformation spell perfectly met Scott's expectations.

The above steps did not take Scott too long.

In the eyes of the other three, this is a normal transfiguration.

"Is this really okay?" Eddie asked with some uncertainty looking at the eagle standing on the table.

Fred laughed. "It's mighty, isn't it?"

At this moment, Eagle twisted his neck and looked at Eddie, seeming a little annoyed.

"It seems very smart!" George exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's smart," Scott said with a laugh.

He reached out and touched the eagle's feathers, and immediately calmed it down.

"Although it can't understand what you said." He said to Eddie, "but it has a keen sense that you don't seem to think highly of it."

Eddie immediately laughed too.

"Okay, I surrender." He sincerely said to the eagle, "You will definitely be able to complete the task Scott entrusted to you!"

At this time, Scott picked up the panoramic binoculars on the table, "The next step is to camouflage this."

"It's true that we can't let people see our eagle holding the panoramic telescope at a glance." Eddie nodded. "Although it can fly very high, it is also easy to be caught."

Scott thought for a moment, took out another block of ebony, and waved his wand again.

Under the shroud of the Transfiguration Charm, the block of wood slowly transformed into a small, gray, fluffy... rabbit.

"Masquerading as prey?" Fred stretched out his hand and squeezed the rabbit, "It's really inconspicuous."

"I like the idea," George said.

Scott turned the rabbit upside down and unzipped the belly.

Eddie laughed, "Oh, it's empty, are you inspired by stuffed animals, Scott?"

He helped to pick up the panoramic binoculars and put them in the rabbit's belly, "Just put it down."

"Of course." Scott took over.

He first took out the panoramic binoculars and set them up, then put them back in again, fixed them with the buckles designed on the plush rabbit, and re-zipped the zipper to expose only two lenses.

"Get ready, Fred will open the door for our warriors." Scott pointed to the ceiling above his head, then reached out and patted the eagle who twisted its neck to look left and right, "Go, warrior!"

The eagle raised its head, slowly spread its wide wings and flew up.

It grabbed the back of the plush rabbit with its sharp and powerful claws and flew straight into the air.

At this time, Fred also flew to the ceiling on a broomstick, and raised his hand to open the iron grille in the vent.

The eagle screamed, flew into the huge air vent, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Eddie looked up at the vent and asked Scott at the same time, "It's going to work, isn't it?"

"If we're lucky." Scott didn't say too much.

"Of course our luck will not be bad." Under Scott's request, Fred did not close the fence.

He swooped straight out of the air, landed next to George on his broom, and gave him a high five.

"This is your transfiguration, how long do you think it can last before it turns into wood again?" George asked Scott curiously.

"Who knows?" Scott didn't test it specifically, either.

Anyway, the Harry doll he made a year ago was still working, though more because that doll wasn't a real creature.

"At least 24 hours a day is no problem." He said an answer conservatively, "This is enough for our warriors to fly and come back."

"Then come here at the same time tomorrow and see if it can come back."

The four discussed a few more words, then left the secret passage and returned to the castle.

After their separation from the Weasley twins, Scott and Eddie ran into Caccini on their way back to Ravenclaw Tower.

Speaking of which, Scott hasn't seen Roger's ex-girlfriend for a long time. Even though Roger said that she had changed a lot, Scott didn't take it seriously. The changes are really big, in various senses.

Caccini and a couple of Hufflepuff girls pass Scott and Eddie in the hallway.

If Eddie hadn't reminded him in a low voice, he wouldn't even know that the girl walking towards him was Caccini.

"Hello, Scott, Eddie." Caccini greeted them with a half-smile.

"Hello, Caccini..."

Scott was surprised to find that this girl who used to be too literary had completely changed her appearance for some reason.

Her original long black hair was cut short, and she also highlighted some gorgeous colors. She painted smoky makeup on her face, painted black lip gloss, and wore a lot of ostentatious jewelry, even nose studs and lips. ring.

She has changed from a beautiful and generous musical girl to an earth-shattering image of a female gangster.

This image subversion was so thorough that Scott was stunned.

It's like a weak little flower has turned into an overlord flower, and the visual impact is too great.

Scott was still surprised when the girls walked away.

"How is it? Are you dumbfounded too?" Eddie chuckled, "I didn't even recognize her when I saw her a few days ago."

"..." It took Scott a while to recover.

"This may be Roger's catastrophe." He murmured.

"What?" Eddie turned his head in surprise, "Isn't it enough that she slapped Roger already?"

Scott shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, I can't predict what Caccini will do now, and her magic power has changed a lot."

Eddie's eyes widened, "Could it be..."

Scott saw his expression and knew that he remembered the former Miss Poison Doll.

"Your imagination is too exaggerated." Scott said with a smile, "Anyway, Caccini is still a qualified Hufflepuff."

"Oh..." Eddie couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately," he said, "I thought the beautiful tradition of no Dark wizards in Hufflepuff House was over."

Scott laughed again, "It's not that serious. Anyway, let Roger have a headache about this matter."

He could see that Caccini had no malicious intentions, nor did he change the nature of magic power, so he didn't worry about Roger.

At the same time, the guilt that came from impersonating Roger with Polyjuice Potion disappeared as a matter of course.

"Could it be that he has finally met his destined nemesis?" Eddie also smiled gloatingly, "Thinking about the experience of the past few years, I have been expecting someone to cure him."
