Science students at Hogwarts

"Elrios, Elios!"

Draco watched Elios lost in his thoughts and turned a deaf ear to his words. He rolled his eyes, smiled slyly, and put the cold Coke can into Elios' neck.

"Hiss" The sudden coldness made Elios jump out of his wits. He finally came back to his senses from his troubled thoughts. He deliberately looked at the instigator with an annoyed look.

Draco first avoided Elios's eyes with a guilty conscience, but then he remembered that Elios had been distracted during the conversation with him, and he became more confident again and questioned him confidently.

"Elrios, did you hear me? Mom said she would take us to Diagon Alley to do some shopping in the afternoon. We can use the money we earned to buy them gifts."

"Really? But I guess you haven't finished your math today." Elios drawled his voice, imitating Lucius's aristocratic manner. As expected, he heard Draco's wailing, Elios Si picked up the black tea to hide his proud smile.

Considering Draco's young age and the conflict between magic and science, Elios was not so strict with Draco.

In physics, he only chose acousto-optical and electromagnetic fields. In chemistry, he mainly focused on interesting experiments and experimental operating procedures and safety, rarely involving theory.Draco loved these experiments and often used them to amuse Narcissa.

During a visit, Snape "accidentally" discovered these experimental manuals. Although some were not suitable for potion experiments, they had many merits. At least the modifications would help those idiots make less mistakes.

The joy brought by physical and chemical experiments makes the suffering caused by mathematics even heavier. After all, mathematics is something that cannot be done.

But Draco's perseverance and intelligence also surprised Elios. Even though he often lamented the difficulty of mathematics, he could still complete the assigned homework extremely well.

Elios couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a character who has been able to oppose the protagonist for seven consecutive years!" Then he happily increased his workload.

Although the Malfoys turned a blind eye to their children's secret exposure to Muggle culture, as they grew older, Elios was no longer satisfied with those interesting experiments for young children.

Malfoy Manor has set an extremely powerful spell that makes Muggle electromagnetic products almost unusable here.

At the age of eight, he seriously considered purchasing a yard in a Muggle village adjacent to the estate, where he would study Muggle science and magic.

This proposal was like poking a hornet's nest. Both the Malfoys expressed fierce opposition, and Kreacher uneasily punished himself. He believed that it was his negligence that allowed the little master to come into contact with dirty Muggles.

To Elios's expectation, Narcissa's attitude towards this was more determined than Lucius's.

It was her limit to expose her children to Muggle culture. She really couldn't imagine her children living with Muggles, and even Draco's coquettishness couldn't change her mind.

As the head of the family, Lucius knew that rude rejection would only make the children rebellious, so he decided to have a talk with the children.

After vaguely explaining the relationship between wizards and Muggles in the form of a story and how the Black and Malfoy families should treat Muggles and pure-blood families.

Although Draco was ignorant, he keenly grasped what he considered the most critical information: "In fact, the relationship between the Malfoy family and other pure-blood families is not as good as imagined."

So he happily asked if he didn't have to take Goyle and the others to play with him in the future and kept complaining about their stupidity.

After receiving a negative answer, Draco was dejected and shocked.

Elios understood Lucius's intention.

After understanding Lucius's ambition, he couldn't help but sigh: his uncle took Slytherin's ability to adapt to the situation to the extreme. In his eyes, purebloods and Muggle-born wizards were no different. They were both pure tools. , is really an out-and-out capitalist.

However, the economic base determines the superstructure, and most of the means of production in the magical world are owned by pure-blood families.

Although the pure-blood family is declining, the centipede is still alive. With only the help of external forces, how can those wizards with no Muggle roots easily shake the status of the pure-blood family?

After understanding the complexity of the situation, Elios understood that his plan to disappear with the Malfoy family was too naive.

Hedging bets like the Malfoy family will inevitably become victims of the struggle. After Voldemort's second fall, neither the pure-blood families who escaped nor the Yankees who want to get a share of the pie will let go of such helpless people. The fatness of the Lord.

When they return to the magical world, the Black family and the Malfoy family must be just empty shells. So what is the difference between this and the fate of these two families in the original work?

In the hierarchical magic world, after losing most of the family power, trying to return to the top is like a foolish dream.

Elios needs something - even if most of the family power is swallowed up by others, he can still turn the tide.

Even in the mysterious magical world, Elios always firmly believes that "technology is the primary productive force, and development is the last word."

In his view, the wizarding world has a very high starting point. Not to mention the global communications that the wizarding world has already spread, nor the mature automation industry. Speaking of artificial intelligence alone, Muggles want to create an AI like the Sorting Hat. There is still a long way to go.

Logically speaking, with such a start of Tianhu, the magic world should have unified the world and started interstellar colonization.

However, due to the scarcity of wizards and the fact that the wizarding world is stuck in its own ways and has played a good hand to pieces, even capitalism has not fully developed. The most profitable business in the wizarding world now is small workshop production.

Development is the best way to change the current situation.

The magical world has not been completely complacent in recent years. There have still been a lot of technological innovations and industrial upgrades in recent years. Take the most well-known example: the Firebolt.

But compared to the ever-changing Muggle technology, the development of the magical world in recent years is not enough.

Elios does not intend to crudely combine technology and magic, but intends to use scientific methods and scientific thinking to explore magic and carry out product iterations.To put it simply, it means looking at things from a developmental perspective and following the trend of the times.

This idea sounds good, but can he, a high school dropout, really do it?

Elios has also questioned himself in this way, but since he has a chance to do it again and he is also a wizard, then he should follow his heart and explore the infinite mysteries of magic to his heart's content!

He knew that once a breakthrough was made on this thorny road, the family with this opportunity would undoubtedly stand at the top of the wizarding world, and he could calmly lead his family away from the war brought by Voldemort.

Even if he failed, he would immediately switch to the Order of the Phoenix with the Black and Malfoy families. He firmly believed that under the guidance of the Harry Potter memorabilia, it would be easy to escape the tragic fate of the original work.

As for why Elios, as a pure-blood vested interest, still opposes pure-bloodism?

It can only be said that he still retains the values ​​​​of a 17-year-old high school student. In his opinion, whether it is a pure-blood family or a marrow wizard, they are all British. So what does it have to do with me, a Chinese, to lead the British to fight?It doesn't matter who wins in the end, as long as our family is doing well.

After Lucius learned that his nephew decided to use Muggle technology to industrially upgrade magic, he finally understood how Narcissa felt when she heard that the pure-blood supremacist Walburga decided to contact Muggles, but this matter was even more complicated. absurd.

Lucius decided to give up the idea that "rude rejection will only make the children rebellious, and he wants to talk to the children." He planned to use stern reprimands to get the children on the right path as soon as possible, but Narcissa was listening outside. Quit.

Funny to say, Narcissa was the most resolute in her opposition, but when she noticed Lucius' intention to scold the children, she subconsciously stopped him.Lucius was extremely helpless and could only put this matter on hold.

Things turned around with a visit from Snape.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Lucius to reveal that his rebellious nephew wanted to live in a Muggle village. Who knew that the purpose of Snape's visit was related to this nephew.

After Snape modified that rule and used it in the teaching process, it has to be said that when the reckless little wizards saw those terrible accidents, their fear of him was replaced by their awe of potions, and they became a little less reckless. , reducing a lot of workload.

After listening to his thanks, Lucius felt that his nephew was not arrogant. He cautiously revealed that these things may come from Muggles. He thought that the junior students who had joined the Death Eaters would express their dissatisfaction fiercely. Unexpectedly, he just used In his usual mocking tone, he said these Muggles still had merit.

On the contrary, Snape noticed that this prefect who took good care of him had loosened his attitude towards Muggles, suggesting that he had completely distanced himself from the Death Eater family.

After ending this conversation, Lucius talked with his wife many times, and finally made up his mind to agree to Elios' request.

Under the management of John Smith, a muggle wizard loyal to the Malfoy family, Elios got a house in a Muggle village near Malfoy Manor. Draco excitedly called it a "confectionary". From a child's perspective, the candy house is the best place.

Putting aside Lucius's contribution for the moment, even Narcissa, who had a rather cold attitude towards him after this incident, ordered Dobby to look after him secretly. The tolerance of the Malfoys is really touching. Only by rebuilding the glory of the family can they live up to it. all of these.

Elios is also grateful to John, the hemp wizard who helped him. He intends to make friends with this wizard who is ten years older than him. After gradually understanding his experience, Elios feels that he can be called the real protagonist.

John is the only Slytherin wizard that the Malfoy family has sponsored in recent years.

He was born into a family with a Union Jack flag in Old London, and his family was well off. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and Old Smith went bankrupt in the 1980 economic crisis.

This resulted in John, who originally scorned the wizarding world, having no choice but to enter Hogwarts, because the tuition here is free and there is a generous scholarship.

After graduation, Lucius naturally recruited this Slytherin and asked him to take care of some Muggle industries. Most of the people working in these industries were Muggle family members who worked for the family's Muggle wizards.

In a casual conversation, Elios learned that Snape's visit inadvertently accelerated Lucius's change, and he had a bolder idea: to study potions with Professor Snape.

Snape was a veritable master of potions, and he had no shortage of wealth and fame.It would be impossible for an eight-year-old child to get him to join the gang, unless there was an offer that no one could refuse.

Elios discovered an interesting fact in the Malfoy family's collection of books: before the Secrecy Act came into effect, potions were widely circulated among Muggles. Muggles had a very ridiculous identification method. They held potions against the sun. Observe the light transmission.

This story was meant to mock the ignorance of Muggles, but Elios thought of a familiar identification method: absorptiophotometry.

The current identification methods in the magic world are mainly: observing the appearance of potions, current spells and large-scale alchemy equipment. They have different shortcomings. Direct observation cannot distinguish similar potions, alchemy equipment is expensive and monopolized, and current spells can only distinguish familiar potions. etc.

After extensive research, Elios believed that the absorption photometry method had certain feasibility, and he decided to give it a try.

With the help of George Blake, he managed to obtain several different types of spectrometers and took various alchemical equipment from Blake's house.

The research process was not smooth. Even if the magic power contained in the potion was diluted, it would interfere with the test results. The extremely strong magic power in some potions directly destroyed the instrument.

After carefully studying the alchemy equipment, Elios asked an alchemist loyal to the family to prepare a special magic shield. Finally, he got the first test report, which also confirmed the possibility of using absorbance to distinguish magic potions.

He put together the experimental principles, improvement measures, experimental processes and test reports and sent them to Snape anxiously.

Snape was very interested in this, and he quickly realized the value behind it. Potions might usher in a revolution.

However, after detailed questioning, he was dumbfounded by the theoretical basis of Elios' partial science and the cost of experiments. He was also shocked by their audacity (a young man, two children and an old elf).

He found Lucius and severely criticized the team's wanton behavior, then praised their talents and offered to teach them, and Lucius readily agreed.

Narcissa was happy and angry after hearing this. She was proud of their excellence, but also angry that they did such a dangerous thing. She felt guilty for her negligence. Fortunately, Elios and Draco responded. It came with ease and soon made her smile again.

Snape's teachings were quite boring. He mostly asked them to recite the basics and occasionally dealt with potion materials.

The research on the absorption method has not stopped. After a lot of experiments, they successfully developed a portable alchemy device called a photometer. It only takes a few seconds to display the absorbance and determine the type and authenticity of the medicine. Even though the cost is still high , people also flock to it.

Years of study have allowed Elios to lay a solid foundation, and he also understands that when he was lucky, many measures were completely inadequate, and the consequences would be disastrous if an accident occurred.He knew well that he could not rely on illusory luck, so he was more attentive.

However, due to lack of practice, Elios often secretly complained that he and Draco were the Potions King Yuyan. Fortunately, after getting the wand from Diagon Alley, he successfully ended the days of talking on paper and began to prepare magic under the supervision of Snape. medicine.

Although they had expected his harshness, reality still taught them a hard lesson, and Elios thought that Potion King Yuyan sounded good.
