Volume 2 The Basilisk is the Five Scumbags Chapter 17 Get on the right track
"What, you suspect I got the cat?" Leaving Lockhart's office, Daphany asked disapprovingly as she looked at the odd-looking trio.
"I didn't ...... No. Harry shook his head awkwardly, and Daphany was in the auditorium at the time, and many professors had seen it. It shouldn't have been her anyway. However, her extraordinarily powerful petrification technique did make the trio a little suspicious.
Daphany was also a little puzzled, she had never cared about this. She has a lot of magic at her disposal, and although petrification works well, she doesn't actually use much. And she uses petrification, which can be easily dismantled by herself. So I didn't think it was anything special. It wasn't until she saw the difference between her petrification and Snape's petrification that Daphany realized that her petrification seemed to be a bit outrageously strong.
Magicians with HP are not good at perceiving personal magic because they are not good at using mental power. This is not the case with Daphany, who is very good at using her psychic powers to do some probing. For example, perceiving magic. Therefore, she naturally knew that Snape's magic was far above her at this time. Although after more than a year of study, her magic has improved a lot. The average adult mage may have been far from her match. But against a top wizard of Snape's level, there was still no chance of victory.
As a result, Snape, whose magic power is far superior to his own, is far less effective than his petrification. That shows that there is something special about your physique. What constitution affects the effectiveness of petrification? Daphany had thought about it just from Lockhart's office. There are many answers! In Aegean, affinity earth derivative lineages, stone magicians, and petrification will have some bonuses. Could it be that the physique of this host, Daphne, is relatively rare in stone physique? It doesn't seem impossible. There's no way to prove it, though. The magicians in the HP world do not have a lineage, and there are not so many magic elements in nature here, so the magic lineage is very unclear.
"That's right, Daphine......" Harry seemed to struggle with his thoughts before leaning over and looking left and right to see if there was anyone else, before whispering, "I was returning from Nick, who was almost headless, and I heard a voice saying that he was going to kill someone. But Ron and Hermione, they all said they hadn't heard. ”
Daphany was a little surprised, not by accident Harry heard the voice, of course Harry with a parseltongue could hear the voice of the basilisk. To her surprise, Harry would tell herself about it. Although Harry and himself had always had a good relationship, it was still a bit unexpected for Daphany.
"Harry!" Ron snorted dissatisfied, he was a little suspicious of Daphany, who was not too brainy. As a result, Harry was a little unhappy that he had told Daphany about such an important matter.
"There's no way Daphany is the murderer, didn't Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape say it!" Hermione said loudly. Compared to Harry, Hermione and Daphany had a slightly better relationship. After all, both of them are top students...... Although Daphany is a bit scummy in theory class, she is definitely a super student in practical class. The two often discuss problems together, and they still know each other since childhood, so the relationship is naturally better.
"Harry......" Dafanie hesitated for a moment, but decided to continue fooling him, "If you think it's necessary, you can mention it to Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, but my advice is not to say anything about anyone." Being able to hear things that others can't hear, even in the wizarding world, isn't necessarily a good thing! ”
"You believe me?" Harry asked, somewhat surprised. In the office at the time, the other professors were fairly neutral, but both Filch and Snape were clearly suspicious of him. No way, they were the first to arrive at the scene after all.
"Of course!" Daphne said as a matter of course, "You can't do that level of petrification." The three of you can't do it together! ”
Well...... The three Harry were a little embarrassed, and although Daphany's argument concluded that they were fully convinced, the argument was ......
"Okay, okay, it's late, go back and rest!" Dafanie waved her hand and prepared to go back to her bedroom.
"Daphine," Harry called out to Daphine, "there's something else I want to ask you." ”
"Oh?" Daphany turned and looked at Harry.
"What is a Squib? What is a secret room? Harry looked dumbfounded.
"Harry, why didn't you ask me." Ron was a little unhappy.
"Because I'm better looking than you!" Daphany grinned, and Ron and Harry blushed at the same time. Hermione couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. Daphany smiled, "It's so much better." Squibs are children who were born into a family of magicians, but can't do magic. Well, this kind of person is very discriminated against in the wizarding world. ”
"So it's the opposite of mudbloods?" Hermione interjected. In this life, because of the existence of Daphany, Draco did not mention the word to Hermione, and Hermione mentioned it herself, but there was no psychological pressure.
"Well, it's very rude!" Daphany nodded.
"No wonder, that's why Fairch ...... Well, what about the Chamber of Secrets? Harry continued.
"I'm not sure about the secret room!" Daphany frowned and pretended to think, "There are actually many mysterious spaces in the castle, and each of them can actually be said to be a secret room. I've been looking for one of the rooms called the Room of Requirement, but I haven't been able to find it! ”
"There is a room for requirement, I've seen this in the literature!" Hermione found that she had room to play, and her already big eyes widened, and she said eagerly: "The book says that there is a mysterious secret room at Hogwarts, which only appears when people are very desperate. However, several principals have tried to find it, but without success. ”
Daphany is very satisfied, the crooked building is successful! He nodded in agreement.
Daphany was really looking for a room to answer the need, but unfortunately more than a year later, she still hadn't found it. Daphany wanted to find the Room of Requirement, and when one of Voldemort's Horcruxes was hidden, she was going to find it and prepare in advance. Second, she had heard that the Hogwarts Room had a super-rich library. It contains rare things that have not been recorded even in the forbidden area.
After the trio went back to bed, Daphany walked in the direction of the dormitory. As he walked, a figure suddenly passed through the other side of the hallway. Daphne frowned slightly, and saw the red-haired figure clearly - Ginny!
Ginny didn't notice Daphine, and hurried towards Gryffindor's common room.
Looks like everything is back on track. Daphany pondered.
For the next two days, the center of the academy's conversation basically revolved around the keywords of Mrs. Lorris, Squibs, and the Chamber of Secrets. Fortunately, it was only a cat that was attacked, and it was not dead. Although it caused some turmoil, it did not cause panic. Most of the students are supposed to do what they are supposed to do.
The writing on the wall remained there, and Daphany knew it was written with special magic. It took a lot of effort for Filch to wipe off even a bit. If a few of the Headmasters had made a move, the handwriting would have been cleared, even Daphany, but apparently Dumbledore had his mind and kept the writing.
From the twins, Daphany learns that Ginny is very upset about what happened to Lady Loris. Daphany knew that Ginny was upset because she was missing memories of that time. The twins explained that Ginny had always been fond of cats. Daphany pretended to believe it. And there is no mention of seeing Ginny that night.
The twins' new achievements are completed by their magic toys that become fireworks cannonballs.
It's a magical fireworks. The user needs to have a certain amount of magic to instill in the flowers. The fireworks effect is set in advance, but the size depends on the user's magic. The stronger the mana input, the larger the scale of the fireworks. However, it has little actual destructive power.
Daphany tried, and a hundred-meter-long firework dragon covered the castle. If it weren't for the fact that Dafanie and the twins were fast enough to be caught by the professor who rushed over, they would have been expelled.
However, such a splendid and spectacular result immediately attracted all the little wizards in the castle, and then the orders were flooded.
Then another Gryffindor boy who wasn't afraid of death tried it. His magic was much worse than Daphne's. However, when the flame phoenix more than ten meters long flew in the air, it still caused enthusiastic cheers and applause from the entire castle.
And then...... Then this Gryffindor was fined for cleaning the underground warehouse for a week, and Gryffindor deducted 20 points. But these two goods are still very happy. In fact, among the Gryffindor students, they were celebrated as heroes. What is 20 points? Last year, what was that, didn't a certain three people deduct 150 points?
And before the boy's punishment ended, the twins and Daphany already knew that their product was going to sell out!
Because the day after Daphany tried the effect, the Daily Prophet published a moving image of the dragon. The scaly dragon roared over the castle, and although there was no sound, it was shocking enough. This is equal to free, hanging advertising! Although there is not the slightest talk of fireworks or toy factories, it has attracted everyone's attention.
And on the third day, the twins sent out the real advertising message through special channels. When the internal Hogwarts order first arrived, the external order was already on the way.
The cost of making the cannonball is about seven silver cosi, and as a joke item with no practical effect, the cost is quite high. And the price was negotiated between Daphany and the twins, and it was set at twelve silver coxies. Throwing out the production costs and other add-on costs, each flower can bring two silver coxies to the twins and Daphne each. If sales can catch up with canary biscuits, then increasing the production line can be said to be a certainty.
In fact, the number of orders for salute cannonballs far exceeds that of canary biscuits. Daphine and her twin brothers are in a hurry. Daphany wrote to Jingjing overnight, asking Jingjing to buy materials to assemble the assembly line. The name of the toy factory has completely established itself in the wizarding world.
New products are on the shelves, and the pressure on development is suddenly reduced. And with the arrival of November and the approach of Quidditch, the twins have to focus more on Quidditch training. Wood's demonic training was no less than that of Daphany, at least in terms of intensity.
As a result, the R&D team was temporarily disbanded after the twins and Daphne paid a bonus.
In two weeks, Qiu, who earned three gold gallons with the prize money, and her best friend Marietta Ekmo were very satisfied. As for how much money Daphany and the twins will make from the product in the future, they don't know and don't care. Most thirteen or fourteen-year-olds can't think about things that long-term.
Because of the disbandment of the research group, Harry lost the opportunity to contact Autumn. Harry was embarrassed to take the initiative to find Cho, who was obviously not that proactive. A pair of boys and girls who originally had a little budding good feelings had no chance to go further.
Daphany was happy with that. The impact caused by oneself has basically been eliminated so far, right? Well, it should be! Daphany comforted herself so that everything was on track.
