Chapter 401: Palm Prints
"Professor Wang, I thought you wouldn't come to dinner?"
By the time we returned to the Great Hall, the dinner had come to an end, and only Professor Flitwick was still eating in the supervisor's seat, and the other professors had already returned.
Wang Xu looked around, chose to sit down next to Flitwick, took out the lucky water from the space ring, and asked, "Professor Flitwick, can you help me see if this is the real lucky water." ”
"Lucky water?" Flitwick took the lucky water, first observed the bottle, then opened the potion and smelled it, nodded and said: "It's perfect, it's definitely a master-level production process, currently on the market, only Professor Slughorn can make it, this is the top lucky water." ”
"Thank you very much." Wang Xu smiled and nodded, but he didn't expect Edward's profiteer to look a little treacherous, but he didn't make any small moves behind his back.
Taking the lucky water from Flitwick's hand, Wang Xu put it away quietly, and said: "Professor Flitwick, Luna and I have reacted that she is a little uncomfortable with her tablemate, can you help her change her seat, it is best to sit with the girl." ”
"No problem, it's a gesture."
Flitwick drank the fish soup from the bowl, wiped his mouth and stood up, and said, "I have to supervise the choir in the evening, so I have to go first." ”
"See you tomorrow." Wang Xu smiled goodbye to Flitwick and sat down on the mentor's seat to start enjoying dinner.
Today he ate very slowly, thinking about how to maximize the function of the lucky water as he ate.
As the name suggests, Lucky Water can boost your luck for a certain period of time, making you very lucky in an hour.
At this stage, a good thing that happens with a small chance will become a big chance to happen.
In the experiment, Slughorn once did not rely on gambling skills, and just luckily threw three dice and threw five eighteen points in a row.
Wang Xu thought back to the situation at that time and found that there was a premise for the effect of lucky water, that is, first you have to have what you want to get.
For example, Professor Slughorn wanted to roll the dice for eighteen, and then he rolled eighteen.
If he doesn't want to, it's hard to say whether this kind of luck can happen, it's a bit like a weakened version of responsiveness.
Thinking of this, a new question arises, how to use lucky water.
According to the ability of lucky water, it is effective in treasure hunting expeditions, gambling, and adventures.
If you take lucky water for a long time, can you pick it up wherever you go, just like those adventure stream protagonists in it, even if it is a treasure that all parties are competing for, it will eventually fall into his hands, thus becoming a pseudo-child of fate?
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, the ultimate of luck is luck, the ultimate of luck is fate, even if I drink lucky water, at most it is the level of the lucky son, and when I meet the son of luck, or the child of fate is estimated to be ineffective. As for whether this is the case, maybe you can try it with Harry, Harry is the protagonist of this world, and the Harry Potter world belongs to the low-magic world, even if he can't reach the threshold of the son of luck, the lucky son should always be nine out of ten. ”
Wang Xu dipped the soup in his hand and wrote the words lucky, luck, and fate on the table.
After writing it, he read it for a long time, and then wrote the low-level world under luck, the middle-level world under luck, and the high-level world under fate.
After writing, Wang Xu quickly erased the handwriting, stood up and walked out.
"Password!"
On the door of Gryffindor's bedroom is a portrait of a middle-aged and elderly woman in a pink gown and a pearl necklace, known to everyone as the Fat Lady.
Answer the password correctly, and the fat lady will open the door, and in turn, she won't let it pass.
"Dragon's scum, no, this was Harry's passphrase from his first year, and it's been changed a long time ago!" Wang Xu struggled to remember what Harry's password was when he was in sixth form.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't expect it, because in the last three parts of Harry Potter, it is no longer about the fun of the wizarding world, but from the perspective of adults.
The most obvious change is that the plot is less childlike and more serious, similar to the picture of entering and exiting the door and saying the password, which is rarely described in the last three.
"Professor Wang Xu, for the sake of your first day in office, I have decided to open up to you. Next time, remember that the mantra is fennel cereal, and I won't be accommodating to you. The fat lady looked at Wang Xu with disgust, waved her hand and opened the door.
Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders, the entrance order is for teasing children, and those above the fourth grade of primary school don't play this anymore.
Bowing his head slightly, through the somewhat low passage, Wang Xu came to the Gryffindor public lounge.
The Gryffindor's bedroom is on the eighth floor, with a red carpet on the floor and a circular interior with many sofas.
When Wang Xu walked in, many Gryffindor students had not yet rested, and were gathering around the fireplace.
When I looked up, I saw that it was actually a professor, and the students stood up one after another and said, "Good evening, Professor Wang!" ”
Wang Xu nodded slightly, his gaze swept over everyone, and asked, "What about Harry?" ”
"Professor Wang, Harry was called away by Professor Dumbledore when he finished eating, and he hasn't come back yet." A sixth-grade student opened his mouth to answer, Wang Xu glanced at this person, this student's name is Seamus Finigan, Wang Xu has a little impression of him, this person has always appeared in the Harry Potter series, and he is a soy sauce character.
"Seamus, remember to tell Harry when he comes back and ask him to come to my office." Wang Xu's main search was Harry, and Harry left directly without being in the bedroom.
Seeing the door of the dormitory closed, the young wizards present breathed a sigh of relief.
Seamus even sat on the sofa, patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, if the professors find out that we are gambling, let's wait to call the parents." ”
"It's not like I haven't been caught, come, let's continue!" A seventh-grader rummaged under the couch and pulled out a black bucket cup.
Jingle Bell!!
With a wave of his hand, three dice fell into the cup, and soon the room remembered the sound of the pressure.
"Gryffindors who gamble for money, Stethelin who likes to read salty and wet comics, Ravenclaw who plays riddles as a whole, Hufflepuff who has nothing to drink a little wine, this is life outside of the movies."
Leaving Gryffindor's bedroom, Wang Xu had a smile in his eyes.
Only a fool would think that a great grandmaster-level master would not be able to find the dice cup that was hastily stuffed under the sofa.
However, the water is clear and there are no fish, and the most important thing to do as a professor is to learn to turn a blind eye when necessary.
What's the use of exposing these people, what's the use of calling their parents, Generations of Gryffindors have come over like this, and no professor will care about these things except Filch, the administrator who is loyal to corporal punishment of students.
"Good evening, Professor Wang!" When he thought of Filch, Filch really showed up with the cat in his arms.
Wang Xu smiled at him and nodded, Filch was a coffee table, and his life was full of cups.
You must know that Filch's ancestors also had glory, and the Argus family was no less than the Malfoy family in its heyday.
It's a pity that people are not good for a thousand days, and flowers are not good for a hundred days, and now the Argus family has declined, and there is only Filch left in the present generation, and he is still a squib who was born in a wizarding family and has no magic power.
The glory of his ancestors and the frustration of reality combined to twist Filch's mind, and the most he loved nothing was to sit in a cottage with the smell of grilled fish, wipe the handcuffs hanging from the ceiling, and be ready to get permission from the school to punish the little wizards with these handcuffs.
"Filch, Harry is coming to my office in a moment to help me with some little experiments, and he might be back a little later in the evening." When Wang Xu saw Filch, he also said hello to Harry, and Harry in the province would be caught by Filch if he went back late.
With a flattering smile on his face, Filch nodded his head while holding the cat in his arms.
Wang Xu passed by him and walked past the office, and when he just took a few steps, he stood still, and said without looking back: "Filch, in fact, I don't know magic, did Professor Dumbledore tell you?" ”
"What?" Filch paused for a moment, but still didn't hear clearly.
Wang Xu turned around, pressed lightly against the wall, and whispered, "Magic is not the only one! ”
After saying this, Wang Xu left without looking back, and Filch looked at the wall in a daze.
In the eye, on the position pressed by Wang Xu's right hand, there was a palm print that was an inch deep.
