Hogwarts' Demolition Wizards

Simo carefully looked at the sword in his hand, but could not see any clues. He only saw that the blade was very sharp and the hilt was very smooth. It seemed that it had been used for a long time and had been rubbed very smoothly by the user's hand. .

Since the whole body is made of metal instead of a wooden handle, it feels cold and refreshing when you hold it. But obviously the secret is not so easy to discover. If the secret could be found through observation alone, then the Gryffindor treasure would not have gone undiscovered for more than 1000 years.

"Creak!" The wooden door of the principal's office was pushed open, and Professor Dumbledore slowly walked in. Seamus was holding the Sword of Gryffindor, as if he felt like he was being raped.

"Principal, this just fell out of the sorting hat." Seamus quickly explained.

"Don't worry, the Sword of Gryffindor has its own spirituality. It appears in front of you because you need it. Take it. Remember to let me know if you find anything." Dumbledore said with a wink. "If you have nothing to do, you can go back to the dormitory first."

Seamus left the principal's office confused. It was already past 10 o'clock, and all Halloween activities had been terminated. In the dark corridor, Seamus walked back to the dormitory holding a sword more than three feet long.

At the door of the common room, Seamus finally remembered to put the Sword of Gryffindor into his pocket, and said the password "Pumpkin Candy", which was a unique password for today, in a Halloween style.

The portrait of the Fat Lady rotated open, revealing the passage behind it. Seamus bent down and climbed in. The common room was empty, and there was only a salamander tied up in the fireplace as a source of fire.

This was what the twins brought back last time. As for where they got it from, there was no doubt that it was the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid had spent most of his life trying to drive the two of them out of the Forbidden Forest.

The salamander shakes from time to time, sputtering out a little spark. Fortunately, the salamander does not need food. As long as there is flame, it can survive forever and is only limited by its lifespan.

As for when it can escape, it depends on the mood of the twins, and when the continuous rain outside will stop? But it's the end of October now, and the coldest period is about to begin. If the salamander wants to leave this fireplace, I'm afraid it will have to wait for several more months.

Seamus returned to the dormitory. Harry and the three of them were still awake. They gathered together to play Landlords. Seamus specially made a real playing card for them, not one made by transfiguration. Because the three of them are not proficient in the art of transformation, they cannot conjure a precise deck of playing cards, and errors and omissions in transformation are easy to occur.

Seamus also taught them various punishments, such as truth or dare, and left some imitation cookies in the dormitory. From then on, the night activities in their dormitory became a collective fight against landlords.

Another benefit of magic is that once the playing cards are damaged, they can be repaired with magic, so that a deck of cards can be used for a long time without having to make a new deck of playing cards every few days.

Looking at the three of them, they made some strange noises from time to time, and were sometimes forced to stand on their heads. Seamus walked to his bed silently, opened his suitcase, and walked in.

Harry and the three of them had long been used to strange things. They knew that Seamus often hid in there and did some weird things, and they had all gone in to visit.

Seamus came in this time not to study the Sword of Gryffindor, but for a purpose he had long ago. It was really inconvenient to get into the suitcase and climb up and down, so he always wanted to make an elevator.

A person is most creative when he wants to be lazy, and will often come up with some weird things. Of course it's very simple to use a charm, just dismantle the ladder and put a plank on it and use the levitation charm every time you go up and down.

But this has a disadvantage, that is, you still need to do it yourself every time you get in and out. Although you don't have to climb the stairs, Seamus doesn't even want to use the wand, so the project has been put on hold, and he still has to climb the stairs.

After coming into contact with the magic circle, Simo had a new idea. He drew a moving magic circle on the wooden board and set a push-type switch on it.

In this way, you only need to step on it with your feet, and the board will automatically move up and down. Then set the distance, and an elevator for entering and exiting the suitcase is ready.

But after the actual operation, Simo discovered a very serious problem. People standing on the board will not always maintain balance, and the center of gravity will not necessarily be in the middle of the board. When this happened, the board tilted, and Seamus was thrown several times at first, and finally gave up on the first version of the product.

Later, he came up with another way. He removed the middle beam of the ladder and fixed two vertical wooden rods as a support frame.

Then drill two holes in the board and put them between the two wooden sticks so that the board will not tilt and people can stand more stable on it.

But a subsequent problem arises. The magic circle relies on special ink, which is the magic power contained in the magic materials used to make the ink. After repeated use several times, the magic power in the ink is exhausted and the elevator becomes useless.

Most magic circles are disposable, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of repeated use. However, if you want to make an elevator, after using it a few times, you need to draw the magic circle again. This is obviously not worth the gain. It is better to climb the stairs. .

So Simo produced the third version of the product. He carved grooves with the pattern of the magic circle on the wooden board. The wooden board had a certain amount of ink reserve. Every time the elevator was started, part of the ink would be used. The elevator won't stop running until the ink is used up, but only the ink needs to be added again.

Simo has been using it like this for a while. Just yesterday, he was trapped by this elevator again. Halfway down, the magic circle suddenly failed and the elevator turned into an ordinary wooden board, and he fell off again.

After careful inspection, the cause of the accident was discovered. Because the wooden board could not withstand the erosion of the ink, the lines of the magic circle changed, which also caused the direct failure of the magic circle.

But this is easy to solve. What Simo made today is the final product. He used a wooden board and carved the patterns of the magic array on it, but those grooves were all covered with a layer of gold.

Although the magic transmission effect of gold is not very good, and each operation requires more ink, this is not a problem. The most important thing is that the areas covered by gold will never be eroded by ink. This elevator has finally been completed. , can be used for a long time.

Seamus cut off the two fixed long wooden rods, inserted the prepared wooden boards, and then used the restoration spell to repair the wooden rods. A complete elevator was completed.

Simo stood on it and pressed a button on the corner of the board with the soles of his feet. The board automatically rose to the top and became the bottom of the suitcase. In this way, the suitcase looked no different from an ordinary suitcase. the difference.
