Chapter 60: The Elevator

Seamus carefully examined the sword in his hand, and did not see any clues, only that the blade was very sharp, and the hilt was very smooth, and it seemed that it had been used for a long time, and it was rubbed by the user's hand very rounded.

Since the whole body is made of metal, not a wooden hilt, it feels cold and refreshing. But obviously the secret is not so easy to discover, and if the secret can be seen by observation alone, then the Gryffindor treasure will not go undiscovered for more than 1,000 years.

The wooden door of the Headmaster's room was pushed open, and Professor Dumbledore slowly walked in, Seamus holding the Gryffindor sword, as if he had been caught.

"Headmaster, this just fell out of the sorting hat. Seamus hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, the Gryffindor Sword has its own spirituality, it must appear in front of you, it must be because you need it, take it, remember to inform me if you find anything. Dumbledore blinked and said, "If you're okay, you can go back to the dorm first." ”

Seamus left the principal's office in a daze, the time had reached more than 10 o'clock, all Halloween activities had been announced, and in the dark corridor, Seamus walked back to the dormitory with a sword more than three feet long.

Arriving at the door of the common room, Seamus finally remembered to put the Gryffindor Sword in his pocket, and he said the slogan "Pumpkin Candy", which is unique to today, in the style of Halloween.

The portrait of the fat lady spun open, revealing the passage behind it, and Seamus bent down to climb in, the common room was empty, and the fireplace was only a salamander tied up in the fireplace.

This was the last time the twins brought it back, and as for where they got it, there was no doubt that it was the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid had spent most of his life driving the two of them out of the Forbidden Forest.

The salamander shakes from time to time and sputters a little bit of spark, but fortunately, the salamander does not need food, as long as there is flame, it can survive forever, only limited by its lifespan.

But it's the end of October, and it's about to get the coldest of the days, and the salamanders will have to wait a few more months if they want to leave this fireplace.

Seamus returned to the dormitory, Harry and the three of them had not yet slept, and they got together to fight the landlord, and Seamus made them a real playing card, not made with Transfiguration. Because the three of them are not proficient enough in the transformation technique, there is no way to conjure up an accurate deck of playing cards, and it is easy to make mistakes and omissions in deformation.

Seamus also taught them various punishments, such as Truth or Dare, and some imitation cookies were also left in the dormitory. Since then, the nocturnal activities of their dormitory have become collective fights against landlords.

Another benefit of magic is that once a playing card is damaged, it can be repaired with magic, so that a deck of cards can last for a long time without having to remake a deck every few days.

Looking at the three of them, they let out some strange screams from time to time, and sometimes they were forced to do a handstand. Seamothy silently walked over to his bed, opened his suitcase, and walked inside.

Harry, the three of them had long been surprised, and knew that Seamus often hid inside to do some strange things, and they had all gone in to visit.

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

A person is the most creative when he wants to be lazy and often makes some strange things. If you use a charm, of course, it's very simple, just remove the ladder, put a plank on it, and use the levitation charm every time you go up and down.

But this has a drawback, that is, every time you enter and exit, you still need to do it yourself, although you don't have to climb the stairs, but Seamus doesn't even want to use a magic wand, so the project has been put on hold, and he is still climbing the stairs.

After coming into contact with the magic circle, Seamus had a new idea, drawing a mobile magic circle on the wooden board and setting a push-button switch on it.

In this way, you only need to step on it with your foot, and the plank will automatically move up and down, and then set the distance, and an elevator in and out of the trunk is ready.

But after the actual operation, Seamus found a very serious problem, people standing on the plank, will not always maintain balance, the center of gravity is not necessarily in the middle of the plank. When this happens, the planks tilt and Seamus gets thrown several times at first, eventually abandoning the first version of the product.

Later, he came up with another way, removing the beam in the middle of the ladder and fixing two vertical wooden sticks as supports.

Then drill two holes in the plank and put it between the two sticks, so that the plank will not tilt and the person can stand more firmly on it.

But the follow-up problem arises again, the magic array relies on special ink, that is, the magic power in the magic materials used to make ink. After reusing it a few times, the magic in the ink is depleted, and the elevator is useless.

Most of the magic arrays are disposable, so there is no need to worry about the consequences of reuse, but if you want to make an elevator, after not using it a few times, you need to draw the magic array again, which is obviously not worth the loss, and it is better to climb the stairs.

So Seamus made the third version of the product, he carved the lines of the magic array into grooves on the wooden board, and the wooden board had a certain amount of ink reserves, and every time the elevator was started, a part of the ink would be used. When the ink is used up, the elevator stops running, but you only need to add the ink again.

Seamus used it like this for a while, and just yesterday, he was pitted by this elevator again, and when he was halfway down, the magic array suddenly failed, and the elevator turned into an ordinary plank, and he fell from it again.

After careful inspection, it was found that the cause of the accident was that the wooden board could not withstand the erosion of ink, which caused the texture of the magic array to change, which also caused the direct failure of the magic array.

But this is easy to solve, Seamus made the last product today, he used a wooden board, carved the lines of the magic circle on it, but those grooves, all covered with a layer of gold.

Although the magic conduction effect of gold is not very good, and each run needs to consume more ink, but this is not a problem, the main thing is that the place covered by gold will definitely not be eroded by ink, and this elevator has finally made a finished product that can be used for a long time.

Seamus cut off the two long wooden sticks that had been fixed, put the prepared planks into them, and repaired the wooden sticks with the recovery charm, and a complete elevator was successful.

Seamus stood on it and pressed a button in the corner of the plank with the sole of his foot, and the plank automatically rose to the top and became the bottom of the suitcase, so that it looked like the suitcase was no different from a normal suitcase.
