Chapter 1079: Construction Site
Around Hogwarts, a gust of wind blew, and the waters of the Black Lagoon rippled, except that the original Hogwarts area remained unchanged, and all kinds of strange buildings and many more just leveled open spaces stood on the shores of the Black Lagoon - except for the first residents and shops and workshops that needed to be moved in, most of the area was only planned and construction did not start.
Because when people of different cultures and classes are brought together, they can't help but want to show off their individuality, especially when they don't have to think about the cost - even the Muggles, the Creyvats, after seeing the blueprints of the wizards, tore up the boring drawings that they were very happy with but now seemed too formal.
Originally, Hogwarts Castle under the vast black lake in the distance of the lake, has been artificially built a small island, a castle is located on the inaccessible island in the middle of the lake that is raised by spells, its huge main castle and manor palace are surrounded by seven towers and seven rhombic castles stacked on top of each other, although they are not completed, but from a distance it seems indestructible- There were also a number of dark shadow-like humanoid objects floating around the building, and some metal blocks carved with ancient magic scripts were covered and installed on the heavy stone surface.
It looks a bit like another Hogwarts, but compared to the fairytale appearance of Hogwarts, this castle has an innate quaint air that is characteristic of a marching warrior, and it is the new castle of the Harris family.
In Allen's planning and design, Harris Castle is the center point of the name, and the location of Hogwarts Castle and the newly established Hogwarts University and Primary School forms an equilateral triangle, and the main buildings of these three schools are the three vertices of the equilateral triangle, and Harris Castle on the island in the middle of the lake is just the center point of this equilateral triangle.
In order to maintain a regular equilateral triangle, the primary school was located in a forest away from the shores of the Black Lake, while Hogwarts Castle and the university were set up between the mountains and rivers on the lake's edge.
The entrance is different from the large iron gate of Hogwarts, and on the walls, there are large curved fireplaces side by side, so that adult wizards can use Floo powder to pick up and drop off their young wizards. The primary school did not build student dormitories, but all the towers on the heights were set up to prevent falls, there were no square pillars in the castle, all of them were columns, and all the window edges and porches were rounded in arcs to prevent the little wizard from being bruised- Although they were barely able to use magic at this age, the children's occasional awakening of magic and exuberant energy made this castle, which was relatively small compared to the other two schools, take these additional security measures to deal with the wizarding parents who were not able to deal with it.
The wizarding school is a little smaller than Hogwarts Castle, but it is built in a more vibrant and vibrant style than the somewhat eerie Hogwarts, with brighter colors and more vibrant colors, and the various jumps of bright colors used in the building make it stand out even in the dark clouds and darkness. There are also sculptures of the characters of the stories in the "Tales of the Poet Bean", which are familiar to young wizards, such as the round cauldron with unusually beautiful feet inside, and the heart of the wizard who has become shrunken and covered with long black hair because of being in the cold cellar for a long time, unable to hear beautiful music, unable to feel the love of relatives, and caressed by his lover.
Compared to the almost completed Wizardry Elementary School, Hogwarts University seems to be on a much better schedule.
In addition to the grassroots and grand scale of some buildings, it can only be recognized from the completed parts that this university is the same as Hogwarts, or continues to follow the original medieval castle architectural style, and the building materials are mainly granite gray- It's just that compared to the elementary school that doesn't need to arrange much magic except for the Traceless Expansion Charm, Hogwarts University is more professional and dangerous for the mysteries of magic, and like Harris Castle, in order to arrange a venue for adult wizards to study magic, the university uses heavy stones and magic alloys made of ancient magic metal blocks carved to resist magic spells, plus the wizarding university has built new facilities such as the dueling arena and the arcane greenhouse garden for various disciplines, so that the entire construction site looks like it is almost halfway through.
However, almost all of the above scenery Alan heard from Hermione's mouth, and his head was messed up by the wind, and now he was holding the hem of his robe with his hands like a skirt, so as not to be soiled by the filth that he vomited out from time to time due to fainting and searching - obviously, Alan basically didn't bother to see any scenery when he was first in the sky.
Hermione leaned over and patted Alan on the back gently, and with her other hand handed Eren her own water bottle. Her cheeks were hot, her face swollen red, and fine beads of sweat broke out from the tip of her nose.
After Hermione rinsed his mouth and felt more comfortable, Alan reached into his waist bag, but then let go of the raven-carved comb, and instead directly brushed his hair back neatly and cast a spell to style his hair like his usual meticulous hair.
"No one will believe me if I say it, I made the best Seeker in the world stun the broomstick..."Hermione's pursed lips finally couldn't help but let out a grumbling as she tried to regain some momentum for herself.
When Hermione was not embarrassed, it was Alan who felt embarrassed, and he argued: "It's like some Muggle drivers are fine when they drive, but they get dizzy when they sit in the back seat... It's two experiences entirely..."After saying that, Alan glanced at the fire bolt at Hermione's feet with trepidation, "Hermione, you're very talented at flying in a sense... I didn't even know that fire bolts could fly so fast..."After speaking, from Hermione's tighter lips, Allen, who realized that he might be dying, quickly changed his tone, he pointed to the eyes that had been revealed in the sky, "The sun is out, let's just walk for a while... This allows you to get a closer look at the architectural details..."
"Let's go, I'll fly you down again, if our English Seeker has a problem... According to Luna, if there is something like broomstick phobia, then I am even more guilty. Hermione looked at Eren so much that she didn't feel awkward, she bit the tip of her tongue to maintain her grim appearance,
Feeling relieved to hear that he no longer had to sit on a broomstick, Alan quickly stood up, and he swept his vomit whirlwind into the black lake with his hands in an attempt to feed them to Grindy Lowe.
"By the way, speaking of architectural details," Hermione said, gesturing in the direction of the castle in the middle of the lake, "Alan, do you see Lovegood's new home?"
Alan followed Hermione's finger and saw the one standing in the strange house on the shores of the Black Lagoon, not far from the new home of the Weasley Burrow.
Lovegood's new home is built around a central garden facing the Black Lagoon, and the main body is still like the wizard's chess piece in the village of Autery-St. Cachpole, which makes it easy to see who the owner is, but this new house has a lot of additional buildings that continue to bend like "roller coaster" tracks, and it seems that the interior gravity of these circles of buildings has been extravagantly altered.
Then, Alan was a little dumbfounded to find that the strange building in front of him was indeed like the roller coaster carriage itself—the outdoor square terrace decorated with flower stands and many green plants was connected in series, and it was sliding along the ridge of those zigzag track buildings, and even if the angle of the terrace was reversed, so that the terrace floor was facing the ground, the tables, chairs, plants and other debris in those terraces did not fall, as if they were firmly glued to the terrace.
However, like the Harris family castle that Alan had just noticed, there were also some black humanoid creatures floating around the building of the Lovegood family, and Alan resisted his eyes with his hand and looked closely before he realized that these things were Dementors, and the Eris Dementors that Alan had encountered before entering the school were transformed by Ravenclaw, and they seemed to be participating in the construction work instead of wearing black rags but raven feathers, and a series of symbols would appear on the lenses of their palms from time to time, and those symbols had a faint light on them, just suspended in the air on their palms。
"Xenophilius doesn't know how he suddenly fell in love with the roller coaster... Luna didn't laze with her father and your family, helping with the design and some difficult spells, but altering gravity and achieving constant motion and stability of the building... And the big temple she's just working on the foundation... It costs a lot of money to use the raw materials well..."Hermione snapped her fingers as if to settle the score, and then she noticed Alan's gaze, "Oh, so you're not familiar with these Dementors either?Luna didn't know how to control these horrible things, and then made them look like this, and those symbols are what they 'say' when they communicate..."Hermione pouted, "Luna told me that they can actually communicate normally with simple words... It's just that they prefer to hide what they say with these riddle-like symbols, and if you can understand the riddle-like prophecy you can understand what they're talking about... It's a bit hot, but I didn't expect it to be easier to use than many wizards when doing construction work..."
"It's just met once, and it's really not familiar. Alan replied casually, "By the way, Hermione, what about your family?"
"Well, my dad and mom don't agree much," Hermione sighed, "My mom wants her home to feel familiar and safe, and my dad thinks that since he came to the wizarding world, he should be more magical—the magic is actually his own personal fantasy, although we can do it." She shook her head again, "Let's keep walking, and see a few more to give them some advice." ”
“... Anyway, now there are a lot of open spaces, so you can just build one for them alone. Allen gave a nouveau riche suggestion that was not a suggestion, and then changed the subject before the other party said no, "Why don't I get a flying carpet?" ”
"Alan, it's against the rules that Britain can't use a flying carpet!" Hermione vetoed, then felt stiff and soft, and found a suggestion to remedy it, "Maybe... We can play skateboarding. As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione seemed to think that Alan, who had grown up in the wizarding world, did not know what it was, and tried to describe to him an extension of surfing, and then began to explain to Alan what surfing was.
"Hermione, you're implicitly discriminating against pure-blood wizards... I didn't watch wizard TV and knew what skateboarding was. After Hermione digressed, Alan reluctantly stopped her science popularization until she recounted that the British explorer Captain J. Cook had seen such activities in the Hawaiian Islands as early as 1778, "but you don't look like a girl who likes to skateboard." ”
"It's like I don't look like a broom that can stun a professional footballer. Hermione replied, then she rolled her eyes and gestured with her hands outstretched, "I was probably between 8 or 9 years old, and I had a neighborhood boy named Tom Felton, who was three years my senior... yes, it's Tom again," Hermione deliberately said in a tone that looked a bit like when she adored Lockhart as a child, "You know, he does all sorts of cool tricks of figure skateboarding..."
Under Hermione's somewhat sneaky gaze, Alan puffed up his chest and pointed to the fire bolt, directly transforming the magical creation broomstick into a red skateboard with a lion's head texture.
"Come up and let you see. Alan stepped on it and extended an invitation to Hermione.
Hermione, who smiled in response, had just taken a few steps before raising her hand to block the dazzling sunlight that broke through the dark clouds, and then she would take out two hats from her fanny pack and transform them into red baseball caps, and then help Alan and herself put them on, but the brim of her own visor was really worn backwards so that it didn't do anything like that.
Afterward, the blonde boy and the brunette girl stepped on a skateboard and glided over the already hardened ground on the expansion site of the residential area next to the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts.
"Hermione, don't shake it too hard, keep your feet steady. "Alan wasn't as good as he said he was, he didn't skateboard and he just used his agility to maintain that balance.
"Haha!" Hermione laughed happily as she leaned on Alan's back, "I'm very steady on my feet." ”
"You didn't," Alan replied with a hippie smile, "don't dance on the skateboard, hold on." ”
"Hold on~" Hermione replied in a gentler tone than before, she put her forehead on Alan's back without the brim of her hat to hinder it, arched it, and then put her chin on Alan's shoulder, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
