Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 358
Scott looked at the shattered mirror, and set down the board that had been used as a seal.

"Looks like I'm being smart," he said with a smile.

Think about it, how many alchemists have been studying runes since ancient times?

If there was such a simple method to replace inscription or writing runes, it would have been his turn to think of a way.

Fred and George laughed too.

"When we tried it, we also knew that the possibility of success was almost impossible."

"But we are also like this. We have to try it out before we can be reconciled."

Eddie frowned, "Since this is the case, do factories that produce magic props also need wizards to do it manually? It would be too inefficient."

Eddie's father, Mr. Carmichael, is a capitalist who owns several factories.

In his view, the factories of Muggles have been mechanized, but wizards still focus on handicrafts, which is too backward.

Scott didn't care. He said in a flat tone: "Think about the population of wizards in the magic world. Handicraft manufacturing is enough to cope with the small market in the magic world."

He had given up trying to be lazy.

Turning around, I took another mirror, took out a quill, and honestly began to write by hand.

In fact, [Magic Crystal Player] requires a much simpler combination of runes than [Magic Mirror], and it doesn't take him a lot of time. He just hates such repetitive mechanical labor.

Since it was unavoidable, Scott quickly changed his mentality in a short period of time and regarded this production as an exercise.

To be honest, this is still very good for him to master the magic power coordination when writing the magic text circuit.

This is also what he should practice.

In order to satisfy his one-second alchemy transformation vision, he must turn this skill into instinct.

"Have you stopped thinking of other ways?" Eddie asked.

Probably because Scott gave up trying so easily, which surprised him a bit.

Scott was calm, and replied while earnestly writing, "I don't want to, even if there is such a method, it can't be researched in a short time."

With his current level of ancient magic text and alchemy, there is really no other way to think of it except for the cleverness he tried just now.

Eddie really couldn't turn the corner.

"It's too troublesome." He muttered, "If this is the case, it will be too detrimental to our cost control."

Neither Scott nor the Weasley twins paid him any attention, going about their own business.

Eddie was still mumbling.

"Originally, there were relatively few students who took the ancient rune course at Hogwarts. This course was still mainly based on interpretation and translation. There were even fewer wizards who had learned something and could apply it to alchemy."

"If I want to do business in the magic world in the future, I won't be able to recruit wizards who can inscribe rune circuits."

Scott successfully activated the rune circuit on the mirror and handed him the mirror.

"Come on," he said to Eddie, "you're going to put the plastic covers on the mirrors and put them in the boxes."

"Okay." Eddie reached for the mirror.

He turned around and found a custom-made hard plastic case from the cardboard boxes stacked in the corner to wrap the back and four sides of the mirror, and then packed the wrapped mirror with a white cardboard box.

The plastic cases and packaging were Scott's idea.

The plastic case has four colors, corresponding to the representative colors of the four colleges, and the emblems of the four colleges are also printed.

The packaging box is even simpler, the whole is white, and the name of the product and the words "joke props studio" are printed concisely.

These things are all custom-made through Eddie's business channels, and the prices are very cheap.

But after packaging, it looks more upscale and formal, and it also makes them more confident in making money.

Scott took another mirror and continued writing, and said to Eddie: "You can't think like this, you can make luxury goods, and many Muggle luxury goods are handmade."

"You're right!" Eddie turned the corner. "In my family's jewelry business, there is also a product line that is handmade. Of course, their price is much more expensive than other products."

"The rich have more money." Scott smiled, "You should study how to make money from the rich in the magic world."

Fred and George laughed too.

"You can make money exclusively from those pure-blood families."

"They always like to pay big bucks to stay presentable."

Although Scott wrote the rune circuit very quickly, it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning when they finished the order.

Stuffing all the packed players into Eddie's backpack that had been cast with the traceless stretching spell, the four of them left the studio and came near the slide in the secret passage.

"Look where Filch and his cat are," Scott said to Fred, yawning.

Fred took out the Marauder's Map while yawning, and muttered, "It's so late, Filch should be asleep."

"Filch's ugly cat doesn't sleep at night," said George. "And don't forget there's Peeves, too. He'll yell if he spots us."

"I see." Fred responded, and whispered the spell to activate the map again, "I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

George held his lighted wand to provide him with light.

"Let's see..." Fred said, "oh, Filch's in his office, the cat's in the basement, Peeves... oh, that guy's near the library..."

George took a closer look, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Dumbledore and Professor Binns are still in Professor Flitwick's office!"

"Could they have been studying those two things!" Eddie said in amazement, "Maybe that box is a great treasure!"

George looked up at him. "You mean we shouldn't hand it over?"

"Maybe it's worth a lot?" Eddie said regretfully.

Fred also raised his head, "But that box was found from Hogwarts, and it belongs to Hogwarts."

"Okay, okay." Eddie shrugged, "I'm just a little pity."

"No regrets," Scott said.

He bent down and summoned a battered broomstick from the side of the slide and sat on it.

He took off for a while, then turned back to the other three and said, "Don't even think about it, who knows if that thing will be a big problem."

At this time, he found that the other three were all looking up at him without moving.

"What's wrong?" Scott asked.

"Scott," said Fred, "I remember you carrying your broomstick with you."

"It's still a Nimbus 2000." George emphasized.

Scott laughed, "I'm used to riding a broken broom here, let's go."

He shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and flew straight up.

The four returned to the castle, and Scott relied on his magical perception to lead Eddie back to the Ravenclaw common room peacefully all the way.

At this time, everyone had gone back to the dormitory to sleep, and the common room was dark and empty.

Eddie cried out that he was hungry, so he lit the fireplace again, took a tin kettle from a side table, and prepared to boil some milk.

He squatted by the fireplace to enjoy the fire, then turned to Scott and asked, "Do you feel this way? Isn't too much happening recently?"

Scott, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows, "What are you referring to?"

"All." Eddie said softly, "Although we often talk about what we will do in the future, we all know that the wizarding world is going to be completely uneven, isn't it?"

Scott nodded.

All of them have seen the videos secretly recorded in Hangleton Village since they were young, and they understand the seriousness of the matter.

Although the magic world still maintained the surface calm after that day, they all knew that this was only the surface.

In the dark, where they can't see or hear, how many dark tides are going on.

With Eddie's sensitivity to gossip, it's only normal for him to sense the wind and rain that is coming.

"Relax, no matter what happens outside, at least Hogwarts is safe." Scott could only say this to Eddie.

Eddie curled his lips, "But if this continues, maybe we will have to take refuge in the Muggle world after we graduate."

Scott lowered his eyelids, and his voice was flat, "It doesn't make sense to think about it now."

"Well, you're right." Eddie looked at the flames in the fireplace, "We're all students, we're underage, we can't do anything, it's better not to know so much."

Scott was a little amused, "Is this what you used to comfort yourself?"

"Then what can I do?" Eddie said bitterly.

At this time, there was a gurgling sound from the tin pot, and the milk was overheated.

Eddie hurriedly took two cups, cleaned them with a magic spell, lifted the tin jug and poured two cups of hot milk.

He took a sip of milk from his glass and continued: "Although I would like to know what happened, or how the Ministry of Magic dealt with those who were taken away last time, we obviously can't install the panoramic telescope in the Ministry of Magic. inside."

Scott also bowed his head and took a sip of hot milk. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help but smile and didn't answer.

"Maybe you're right," Eddie added. "Maybe what we sent to Professor Flitwick's office really is a big problem."

"Don't worry." Scott said, "Principal Dumbledore said he will tell us the result, and I don't think he will break his promise."

Eddie sighed, "I just hope that there will be no more major events that will affect the entire British wizarding world, and what happens in the wizarding world will also affect the Muggle world. Maybe we will have to emigrate to ensure safety... "

Having said that, he looked up at Scott, "Oh, sorry, you let your parents go abroad because you were afraid that the troubles in the magic world would affect your family."

"No way." Scott put down his glass and stood up, "There are quite a few people who hate me, hate me, and have the potential to retaliate against me."

the next day.

Due to sleeping late, Scott was a little listless all morning.

Of course, during the morning Charms class, Professor Flitwick looked a little out of energy.

Although he is still working hard to raise his spirits to teach everyone, there is still a gap with his usual performance in class.

Scott had a class in which he was very nervous. He was afraid that Professor Flitwick would suddenly fall asleep and roll off the pile of books.

After class, Professor Flitwick turned and left in a hurry, and Scott didn't find a chance to ask him, Dumbledore and Professor Binns about the results of the whole night's research.

Eddie is different from Scott. Since the morning, he has been busy distributing the finished products of [Magic Crystal Player] according to the order and collecting money. He has been extremely busy.

Not surprisingly, [Magic Crystal Player] and Ravenclaw College promotional film "Extraordinary Wisdom" became popular in Hogwarts.

Especially the college promotional video.

Because Scott and the others sold only this one audio-visual video in the player, and on Sunday, the promotional video was played in the auditorium for a whole day, which caused the students of Ravenclaw College to take the limelight. , walking in the wind.

Scott, a well-known Ravenclaw student, once again attracted a lot of attention because of the production of promotional videos and players.

At the lunch table, Milton told Scott, "Even Professor Trelawney mentioned you in Divination class this morning."

"Oh?" Scott suddenly felt a little creepy, "What did she say?"

"She said..." Milton laughed. "She said that although you are still good, if you don't choose to take her class, you won't be able to become better."

"She's right." Scott nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid of Professor Trelawney?" Roger looked at Scott in surprise as if he had discovered a new world.

"I just don't want to hear her talk about how I'm going to die," Scott said.

Roger laughed, "Everyone knows that most of the time what she says can't be taken seriously."

Scott nodded, and at the same time cursed in his heart.

Most people don't know Trelawney's horror.

If he hadn't read the "original book", Scott wouldn't know this.

The memory from his previous life told him that Trelawney was a very scary person, and what she often said casually turned out to be true.

From another point of view, perhaps Professor Trelawney's mouth may not be a prophecy, but a curse.

I don't know what kind of luck it is, but after this little fright at noon, Scott actually met Professor Trelawney, whom he didn't want to see, this afternoon.

It was after the afternoon class, and Scott was on his way to the Forbidden Forest. He met Professor Trelawney head-on in the back garden of the castle.

The divination professor had messy long hair, thick glasses, and smelled of alcohol. He looked a little crazy.

"Good afternoon, Professor Trelawney."

Although he didn't want to meet him, but since he met him, Scott politely greeted this professor who never left the divination classroom easily.

"Good afternoon, Scott Trollope, poor boy."

Trelawney stared wide-eyed behind the lens, looking at Scott in horror.

"The Celestial Eye told me that I had to leave my classroom in the North Tower today." She said in an affective voice, "but I didn't expect to meet you here, oh my poor child!"

She looked at Scott with pity, and stretched out a skinny hand, as if wanting to pat him on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Oh!"

The moment her hand approached Scott's shoulder, she quickly withdrew her hand as if frightened, exclaimed, and quickly took a step back.

"I'm sorry... child... I'm sorry..." She looked very sad, "I just found out..."

Scott looked at her expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "What can I do, Professor Trelawney?"

"Oh no!"

Just when Trelawney was about to say something, she hiccupped suddenly, and then her expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, Scott also noticed something, and his expression changed drastically.

　Only 4000 was updated yesterday, and a chapter of 4000 is added today.

　　There will be 6000 more today.
