[HP] Pirate Radio and White Album

When Professor Flitwick's Christmas gift was unwrapped to a vinyl record, he would always think of the scene when he went to the high seas to pick up a freshman six summers ago.

It was a very hot summer, and the consecutive days of summer caused the local municipal government to issue an early warning signal.But for fishermen who make a living by fishing, as long as it is not the weather that cannot sail, they will always go to sea.

But the bad weather stopped abruptly and turned directly to the storm.

No boat would go to sea in this weather.

Then, it was in this weather that Professor Flitwick boarded an abandoned... offshore platform?

He looked at the isolated offshore platform in the open sea, which seemed to be made of reinforced concrete structures, but...

In the building on this platform, lights are on.

The warm light is like singing in thick fog, attracting uninvited guests at sea to find their way.

Professor Flitwick heard the singing.

Later he knew it was rock and roll.

The door opened.

It was a man with disheveled hair and paint on his face that hadn't been wiped clean.

"Hogwarts'...um, Professor Flitwick?"

"Yes. It's me." Professor Flitwick cast a cleansing spell on himself, and he looked as if he had just stepped out of a warm room.He was not half-dead by the storm at sea.

I have already introduced my identity in the previous letter, so the communication can go smoothly.

"I'm Vivian's father, Joshua." The other party stepped aside to open the door.

Then, Professor Flitwick saw places that were rarely seen in the Muggle world.

"Wow."

"Welcome to... what should I say?" Joshua looked at a group of people who were cutting cakes in the room. "Leave me a piece with fruit. Well, never mind, Professor, we are Do you want a piece of cake for Vivienne's birthday?"

So, Professor Flitwick ate a piece of birthday cake decorated with fruits, shared his thoughts on the bad weather with a gentleman in a suit named Quentin, and introduced him to the magic world to a limited extent. Then, he met Vivian.

She wears a diamond crown on her head and holds a piece of cake in her hand.

"Professor Flitwick, what class do you teach?"

Professor Flitwick knew he shouldn't be involved in the party, but the weather outside was so bad that the loud rock music couldn't drown out the sound of the rain falling.

"Charms."

"Cool." Vivienne took a fork and picked up a piece of pineapple by herself. Don't ask why there is pineapple on the fruit cake. The reason why there is no avocado is because it looks too ugly. "Can it be like the one you just had? Like this The weather will not get wet?"

"Yes." Professor Flitwick was very happy to share the joy of magic with studious students, not to mention he began to wonder what happened to this platform built in the North Sea—the high seas.

Professor Flitwick stayed for a while in such bad weather, ate cake, and met many people, Quentin—the person in charge of this place, a gentleman in a suit and tie, Vivienne's godfather; Joshua— DJ, Vivienne's father; Mark - dj, Vivian's uncle (the kind that is not related by blood); Marina - the cook, responsible for filling the stomachs of everyone in this place, including the newly arrived Free Professor Wei (Professor Flitwick: Did you make fruit cake? It tastes great. Marina: No, I bought it, the cake shop on the shore has a special price); and the DJ who changed shifts with Mark—Iluvita.

"My mom loved Tolkien so much she even named me that."

Iluvita is different from those drunken men. She has fluffy and lovely golden curly hair, with exaggerated earrings, and she is dressed like the young people Professor Flitwick saw in the city. color.

"Oh, that sounds good." Professor Flitwick used the veiled compliment.

"You don't know Tolkien, right?" Iluvita was keenly aware of this.

Joshua took out a note and handed it to Quentin.

"Hell, Tolkien wasn't a wizard."

Quentin accepted the note and replied, "I told you, he is a linguist, not a wizard."

It seems that the two of them made a small bet on whether Tolkien was a wizard or not.

"Anyway, how do we go to the magic world?" Iluvita asked this question, "Is non-magic people like us welcome there?"

"Oh, I will take Vivienne to buy things for school, if the parents are willing..."

But unexpectedly, the parents' timetable didn't match up.

"I have something to do with Joshua." Iluvita knelt down and said to Vivian, "Can you go with Quentin?"

Vivian nodded: "No problem."

So it's settled.

But before leaving, Quentin said, "I'm being targeted."

Vivienne nodded sensibly.

"I know."

"Just you and the professor." Quentin gave Vivienne a kit, "Be careful."

"I will." Vivian nodded, understanding, "Quentin...Godfather, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

"Good girl." Marina hugged Vivienne tightly, and then stuffed her with a sliced ​​pie, "Be careful on the road."

"What happened?" Professor Flitwick knew he shouldn't ask, but he was still curious.

The main family is very strange, but very close.

very special.

I can't bear it.

"MI6."

Vivienne closed her mouth after she finished speaking.

Professor Flitwick later went to inquire about what MI6 is.

Then he felt weirder.

As far as he knew, Vivienne's family and her family's friends were just a group of people engaged in radio, and he didn't know why.

Maybe they are thinking too much.

It wasn't until Vivian left the school in an extraordinary way that Professor Flitwick understood why she said that.

Not jumpy or overthinking.

Their family really deserves such treatment.

However, when Professor Flitwick brought Vivienne home, he received a thank you gift from Joshua and Iluvita.

A Beatles vinyl record.

Hogwarts professors don't want to tell well-meaning parents that they don't have a record player, but that's okay.

During the Sorting Hat, Vivienne Murphy was successfully sorted into Ravenclaw without any mistakes.

Vivian gives Professor Flitwick a vinyl record every Christmas.

In the third year, she gave the professor a record player.

An exquisite work powered by pure magic that does not require electricity.

Unlike the record player in the wizarding world, this is a flat cuboid record player.

Very powerful design.

Professor Flitwick wanted to give it a high score.

The following year, she gave a set of magic-driven audio equipment, which, together with the record player from the previous year, allowed Hogwarts to play vinyl records.

This year, during Vivienne's fourth grade final exam, at the end of the last exam, all Hogwarts heard Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World".

Some of the professors were stunned, some mad, and then Professor Flitwick found what was singing.

a shell.

"It's amazing." Professor Flitwick was beaming. "This is a very interesting and complicated spell. First record the music, then set the delay time, and when the time is up, the music will be released. When the music is over, the magic spell The spell is over. There are only shells left, so..."

He guessed who it was.

Apparently, Headmaster Dumbledore knew too.

"It's funny isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's so interesting."

In her fifth year at Hogwarts, Vivienne got an O in her Ordinary Wizarding Level exam.

Then, this summer vacation, Joshua and Iluvita suddenly told Vivian.

"A relative of Dad's died."

"We still have relatives?"

"Actually," Iluvita clutched the bag in her hand, "We have it."

But she obviously didn't want to bring up the topic of relatives.

"I haven't seen them in more than ten years."

Iluvita said, "I think sometimes it's just a matter of luck watching the news...the last time I heard about him was five years ago, and he became an alcoholic, lost his job, and... Anyway, this is Relatives of Joshua."

Quentin has made arrangements for the replacement of the frequency band, and other radio stations are willing to send out two DJs to support for a day.

"We only have one day," Iluvita said, looking at the ground, she didn't like to leave the station.

"Come on, Vicky."

Joshua hadn't driven a car for a long time, but when he got on the road, he had regained his memory.

The family stayed in the car for less than an hour, and Vivian said, "I want to open some windows."

"The space in the car is too small." Iluvita covered her forehead, "I want to vomit."

"Motion sickness? Do you take motion sickness medicine?"

"I took seasickness pills."

"...I think I also need to take motion sickness medicine." Vivian swallowed the motion sickness pill.

"Wish we got there sooner."

After driving for two hours, they finally arrived at their destination.

I don't know how to get to this church.Anyway, when their family arrived, the funeral hadn't started yet.

Vivian looked at the black dress on her body.

Bought it specifically for this occasion.

Then, Vivienne meets her...schoolmate for the first time.

I saw a classmate from school outside the school.

One grade lower than me... Slytherin.

"Severus Snape."

"Vicky, do you know him?"

"My classmate, one grade lower."

"Oh."

Iluvita stopped talking.

She is completely different from when she was at sea.fidgeting.

"I hate coming down." Iluvita whispered to Vivian, "I feel like I'm being watched..."

"Don't be afraid. They don't dare to do anything." Vivian patted her mother on the back.

Severus noticed all this.

Vivian Murphy.Ravenclaw fifth year student, very bright, but silent, her mother looked fidgety, with the nervousness forced down on her face, the same as his mother... at first.

Her father kept his face straight and said nothing.

If it weren't for his father's death, and his mother suddenly said that a funeral must be held, he would not have spent money to publish the obituary in the newspaper.

He had been mentally prepared that no one would come.

Who knows.

Someone really is coming.

Just after the funeral was over and the coffin was buried, a group of people broke in. The doctor and a group of community workers came over and forcibly took Severus' mother away.

"She's mentally ill," said one of the men in black. "We need to send her to psychiatric care. I'm sorry, but it's going to be good for her."

Severus looked at his mother who was being taken away, and suddenly shouted, "You're a witch! Do something!"

But his mother was sedated and taken away with her eyesight broken.

She did nothing.

did nothing.

Vivian felt her mother clutching her shoulders tightly.

"Don't be afraid." Vivian said, "That's not here to find us."

"Hemingway." Iluvita said softly, "Same, he is the same. Damn."

Joshua stood up abruptly and walked over to Severus who was still there.

"Do you have any relatives you can go to?"

Severus looked at the Muggle.

"It's none of your business."

"My daughter said that you are his alumni." Joshua didn't care about his tone. In fact, no one came to the funeral except a few neighbors.

Except the Murphys.

"For the sake of our being relatives. If you don't hate eating canned food, would you like to go with us?"

Severus was stunned, and after a long silence, Joshua continued: "We just need to take care of you during the summer vacation, right? That's okay, let's go."

Severus couldn't refuse the offer.

After returning to the home where only himself was left, he packed up his things, and left here without any regrets.

On the way back with the family, Vivienne suddenly asked, "Do you hate the sea?"

"What?" Severus froze for a moment, then said, "No."

"That's fine."

The problem is huge.

Severus got out of the car, walked with the family for a while, and finally looked at the boat, and then at the three people who had jumped aboard.

"where are we going?"

"Sea." Iluvita finally smiled.

She doesn't look tense anymore.

"Let's go, little wizard."

No one can refuse Iluvata's smile.The Elven King cannot.Joshua couldn't.

Naturally, it is easier for a little wizard to be tricked into boarding the boat.

In fact, Severus, who had been holding the spell in his hand, finally knew what was special about the Murphys.

They live at sea.

The offshore platform, covering an area of ​​600 square meters, has basic living facilities and the coolest radio station in the world.

"Ten years ago our radio had 500 million listeners...that's half the population of the UK."

Vivian pushed open the door on the platform and smiled.

"How many listeners do you have now?"

"3000 million." After Vivienne replied, she looked at Severus with an unbelievable expression, "What? What are you surprised about?"

"Don't be so serious." Joshua patted Severus on the shoulder, "Little wizard, welcome to Pirate Radio."
