Hogwarts: This wizard wants to make progress too much

She was satisfied with everything about Ethan except for his habit of attracting girls. He was excellent enough to smooth out the gap between pure-bloods and Muggles, perhaps even the next Dumbledore or Voldemort.

Another reason was Cassandra's fondness for him. Once that child made up her mind, she wouldn't listen to anyone, and couldn't be persuaded.

Therefore, she could only choose to help Cassandra become the ultimate victor.

With Ethan's looks, talent, and future achievements, as long as Cassandra could secure her position as his wife, she wouldn't care about anything else, and her mother couldn't interfere.

Such things were not uncommon among pure-bloods. It was just that her own husband was completely under her control and didn't have the guts to do anything.

Anyway, she felt that her daughter's chances of winning were quite high. With her family background and her resemblance to herself, how could she lose?

She was definitely the top candidate for the main wife!

Ethan gave Cassandra a look of pleading for help. This excessive enthusiasm was too much to handle!

Who knew that Cassandra would ignore him, appearing quite happy by her mother's side.

Mr. Worley stood alone at the door, petrified.

His daughter had been snatched away, and now even his wife was ignoring him. What was the point of living…

"Amos, what are you doing?"

"Coming!"

Hearing his wife's voice, the petrified Amos Worley instantly perked up and hurried to the banquet hall.

The Cassandra family's family banquet was quite sumptuous. Except for Mr. Amos's silence, the laughter of Ethan, Cassandra, and Belinda continued throughout the entire evening.

They talked about Ethan's experiences in France, Muggle world affairs, and some interesting anecdotes from Cassandra's childhood.

Chapter 89: It's All Gilderoy Lockhart's Fault

August 28th.

Three days before the start of school.

Ethan and Cassandra stood together at the gate of the manor.

Yesterday, Ethan and Cassandra went to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks for the new school year, and then ate ice cream at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, still sitting in the same spot where they first met.

In fact, Ethan had already bought them. He had bought them casually when he passed Diagon Alley on his way to Knockturn Alley.

It was mainly Cassandra who said she hadn't bought textbooks yet, but she didn't say the specific reason.

Helpless, Ethan could only accompany her to Diagon Alley and then stay another day at her family's manor.

Originally, neither of them needed to buy extra textbooks. Before even entering school, they had almost bought all the required textbooks.

However, the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook required this semester was different from the past. It was a novel written by Gilderoy Lockhart himself, containing a series of his experiences fighting dark wizards, magical creatures, and so on.

Although these were his stolen experiences and adventures, the stories were real, and others didn't know. There was still some truth in them, otherwise, it wouldn't have become so popular.

It's just that the price was a bit expensive, costing more than thirty gold Galleons in total.

He had accurately calculated the money bags of Muggle-born wizards, just enough to spend all of it on buying these this year, right!

A voice came from the sky.

"Ethan, over here!"

Ethan looked up, and a green small car was flying in the sky. It didn't look very stable, and there was a risk of falling at any time. George leaned out halfway and shouted loudly at Ethan.

On the day Ethan returned, when he replied to the Weasley twin brothers, he said that he was going to Cassandra's house. There wasn't much time left before school started, so there was no time to visit their house. He would go next summer vacation.

But he soon received a reply, saying that their village, Ottery St Catchpole, was also in Devon, only a few dozen miles away from the Worley family's manor.

After Ethan finished his visit at Cassandra's house, they could come directly to pick up Ethan to go to their house.

As pure-bloods, they naturally knew the location of the Worley family's manor, even though they hadn't received an invitation to the Worley family's banquet for many years, but the location of the Worley family's manor hadn't changed. The Weasley family also had its glory days.

"How is it, this is very cool, right!"

If this car couldn't be driven out, they would have to go to Hogwarts to show off. This thing is much better than a flying broomstick.

Ethan gave a thumbs up below.

Immediately, he had the idea of getting a flying car, even if it wouldn't be used much, but it was cool!

"Have fun, see you at Hogwarts!"

After Cassandra saw the car stopped, she straightened Ethan's collar and turned to leave.

What Ethan didn't see was that at the moment of turning around, her face immediately turned red.

She didn't know if what her mother taught was useful!

Cassandra muttered softly in her heart.

After Ethan got into the car, the twin brothers began to sing and harmonize.

"Oh, ho, you've met the parents?"

"What about Penelope Clearwater?"

"What about Cho Chang?"

"And our Gryffindor know-it-all, Hermione Granger!"

"It's just that I was invited by Mrs. Worley to stay for a day or two, don't think too much."

"Really?"

The two brothers looked at Ethan with an expression that said, "Do you take us for idiots?" Is the door of the Worley family so easy to enter?

Is it really okay for you to turn your head and chat with the passengers while driving?

Well, it's okay to drive without looking at the road!

Flying in the sky, there is no danger of a car accident, just more bumpy.

"What's going on with this car?"

Ethan didn't want to get entangled in this topic. He couldn't explain it to two single dogs.

"My dad modified it. He is very interested in everything about Muggles. He works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office in the Ministry of Magic and is now the head of the office."

"That is to say, your dad is really abusing his power. He is the one who is supposed to prohibit the misuse of Muggle artifacts, but he is using them himself?"

Ethan looked at the twins with a teasing look.

It can only be said that pure-blood families have advantages. This department is actually most suitable for Muggle-born wizards, but it is still controlled by pure-bloods.

Moreover, in the original work, after this flying car was discovered by Muggles, it was also published in the newspaper, but their dad was still fine, which shows that this ban is not aimed at pure-bloods.

Those who were targeted were Muggles. With very few exceptions, only Muggle-born wizards would use and modify Muggle items. (The original book primarily prohibits modifying Muggle items.)

George immediately retorted,

"You can't say that. It's not against the rules if you don't get caught, right?"

Very much the old tradition of Hogwarts.

Arthur Weasley doesn't seem to be an honest person either. I remember records of him being caught by Filch's predecessor and severely punished.

"That's right, or we'd all be expelled!"

The three looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"By the way, Ethan, what's Nicolas Flamel's house like? Have you learned to make the Philosopher's Stone yet?"

They admired Nicolas Flamel quite a bit. If they had his skills, the quantity and quality of their prank products would increase dramatically.

Especially the Philosopher's Stone, turning lead into gold!

With it, they would never lack Galleons again.

After returning from France, Ethan wrote to a few people, mentioning that he had gone to Nicolas Flamel's place to study alchemy. There's no need to hide it now.

"Do you think I would?"

He really would, Nicolas taught him.

It's just that he hadn't experimented with it yet, as the requirements for making it are extremely high.

There are two methods to make it. First, a large number of magical creatures are needed to generate the Philosopher's Stone within the alchemical array. They must be living, and the higher the magical power contained in their bodies, the better, whether wizards or magical creatures.

Nicolas originally experimented with a large number of magical creatures, but found that the quantity was still insufficient, and only semi-finished products could be produced.

Later, he found a place full of magical power and used extremely rich magic to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and only then did he succeed.

It's just that such places are hard to find, and after using them once, it takes a lot of time to recover, which severely limits the production of the Philosopher's Stone.

Hogwarts should be a place full of magical power that the four founders found together, which may be why it has been able to keep running for so many years.

"That's the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Why wouldn't you know how!"

The twins' faces fell, as if they had lost something.

Then Ethan introduced Nicolas Flamel's house to them.

The brothers were very excited, and they all began to complain about Dumbledore, why didn't he send them to study as well.

As they chatted, the car flew over Ottery St Catchpole.

The Weasley family lives on the outskirts of this village. The house is built with very wizarding characteristics, like Diagon Alley, with crooked and bizarre architecture, and several chimneys on top.

There is also a stone pigsty in front of the house, with several large white pigs inside, and a pond and vegetable garden next to it.

If the house were normal, Ethan would have thought it was a farmhouse in the British countryside.

Which pure-blood wizard feeds pigs and grows vegetables himself? It's too demeaning.

The Weasley family members, hearing the roar of the car, ran out to greet Ethan. Mr. Weasley was not there because of work.

Harry was also there, which Ethan was not surprised by. In the letter he received, he said that he was visiting Ron's house, and Ethan sent his reply there.

"Child, welcome to the Burrow!"

Molly stepped forward and gave Ethan a hug. She had heard her twin sons mention Ethan's name many times, and Harry was also quite familiar with him, but only today did the two officially meet.

"Ethan, what does Nicolas Flamel look like? I heard he's six hundred years old."

After greeting him, Harry came over. He was very curious about Nicolas Flamel, after all, because of his Philosopher's Stone, he had an adventure that almost cost him his life.

"Very old, the Elixir of Life can't stop the body from aging."

As they talked and laughed, they came to the Burrow. Molly was rushing to prepare lunch, and Ethan and the others were sitting in the living room chatting.

There were fudge and juice prepared on the table in advance.

Ethan threw one in his mouth. The taste was quite good, not so sweet, full of milky flavor, it should have been made by Molly herself.

"Look over there, these are the Pygmy Puffs we bred, what do you think?"

Following Fred's finger, Ethan saw a fluffy ball on the windowsill. This is a Pygmy Puff?

Ethan hadn't really noticed it.

It's in the book 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', a very ordinary animal, distributed all over the world.

XX other magical animals, that is, harmless level, the body is spherical, covered with fluff, gentle in nature, and will not be angry if thrown around.

It's just that this thing has a very slender tongue, which will stretch into the wizard's nostrils to eat the wizard's boogers when the wizard is sleeping, which Ethan couldn't accept.

"If you can breed this in large quantities, it should be quite marketable at Hogwarts."

Ethan couldn't accept it, but the children in the wizarding world like this thing.

And this size, if it is an adult, is only one-third the size of a normal Pygmy Puff, and can be carried in a pocket, those little witches probably can't refuse it.

"That's what we think too, this will definitely make a lot of money, Ethan, are you interested in investing a sum?"

Fred rubbed his hands and looked at Ethan with a mercenary look.

"Wait, don't you two have hundreds of Galleons?"

Ethan looked at the two brothers incredulously. Just by relying on their own Puking Pastilles, in the month or so before the exam, the two of them earned more than four hundred Galleons together.

Even if they spent some money on experiments this summer vacation, it shouldn't be all used up!

Their little gadgets cost very little and don't require any precious materials.
