351. Accident, Baby, Magic Mirror

One of Hagrid's one-on-one lectures once again exposed his unusual aesthetic and safety standards when dealing with magical beasts, which led many to distrust his teaching.

On the way back to the castle after class, Roger said to Scott, "I hope Miss Grapeland will come back soon." Otherwise, the accident that happened to little Malfoy in the protection of magical beasts class is likely to happen again. ”

Even Cedric, who had always been very friendly, agreed with Roger, and he said euphemistically; "Professor Hagrid doesn't have a good grasp of his own security boundaries from ours."

Scott nodded.

Admittedly, Hagrid was a good guy, of course, but he was really a little too nervous.

In addition to them, other students are also expressing their dissatisfaction.

"It's terrible, that monster, what the hell does Professor Hagrid think, how could anyone want to get close to the three-headed dog?"

"Maybe we'll see the dragon in the next class."

"Maybe it's a troll, or a giant."

All the way back to the Great Hall, Scott discovers that most of the previously injured students of Gryffindor and Slytherin have been discharged from the hospital early.

Fred and George were talking to Lee at the Gryffindor table. Jordan laughed, and immediately stood up and ran over when he saw Scott.

"How's it going, Scott?"

The two of them moved Scott aside at the same time and asked quietly.

"Did those panoramic telescopes succeed in retrieving them?"

All of their magical damage has been restored, and they are no longer "Treants" and "Blue Skins".

"You're fully recovered?" Scott asked with a smile.

When Fred and George heard this, painful expressions immediately appeared on their faces.

"Madam Pomfrey dislikes us too many and too noisy." "So she asked Snape to give us some cures." ”

George made a retching expression, "That smell...... If you drink it, you can see hell. ”

Fred added: "If you don't talk about this, what about the panoramic telescope?" ”

"Didn't you ask Eddie?" Scott asked.

He looked up at the Ravenclaw table, only to see that Eddie wasn't there.

"We didn't see him." Fred said.

"All the panoramic telescopes were successfully recovered, just today at noon." Scott said to the two, "I put them in your joking furniture studio, and Eddie's guy is probably there right now." ”

He guessed that Eddie's kid went there directly after class to read the gossip, and he didn't even have time to eat.

"Then let's go too." Fred couldn't wait.

George nodded in agreement, "I'd love to see what's going on, too." ”

Scott said to the two of them, "Go ahead, I'll need to join the Transfiguration Club after dinner, and I won't be able to meet you until the event is over." ”

Fred glanced at the long table in the auditorium and said hesitantly, "I think it's better for us to have dinner first." ”

"You're right." George's tone was heavy, "The potions and nutritious meals at the school hospital have seriously damaged my taste buds in the past few days. ”

The two of them reached out and patted Scott on the shoulder at the same time, and then ran straight to the Gryffindor table to sit down, and picked up their knives and forks, ready to wait for the food to arrive.

Scott smiled, walked over to the Ravenclaw table, and sat down next to Roger and Milton.

At this point, the hot topic at the long table was still the afternoon lesson on protecting magical beasts.

Although the fifth graders who took this course were not comfortable with the content of today's class, the other students were full of curiosity about the rare three-headed dog, a magical animal born in Greece.

Even Milton was the same.

"It's nice to have a chance to see this animal." "Learning about different magical beasts is what this class should be about," he said. ”

Roger shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, you'd be right, if Hagrid hadn't tried to get us closer to that behemoth. You know, the three-headed dog is at the same level as the fire dragon in terms of danger. ”

After dinner, Scott went to the classroom on the second floor of the castle to participate in the Transfiguration Club.

At 19:30 p.m., in the classroom where the Transfiguration Club was located, the students had already arrived, but Professor McGonagall had not shown up for a long time.

The students of the club looked at each other, all worried about whether something had happened.

Because for Professor McGonagall, who has a serious and old-fashioned personality, being late is an extremely unbelievable thing, but this happened anyway.

Percy stood up and said, "I'll take a look at Professor McGonagall's office." ”

Just then, an illusory, silver cat flew in from outside the classroom and squatted on the podium.

It's Professor McGonagall's Divine Guardian Charm.

Professor McGonagall's voice came from the mouth of the silver, illusory cat.

"I'm sorry, students, there was some unexpected incident at the school, and now Dumbledore is not there, and I need to deal with it. This time the club activities are cancelled, of course, you can also study and discuss on your own. ”

After saying that, the cat turned into wisps of silver light and dissipated directly.

Unexpected events?

Scott remembered the battle between centaurs and unknown wizards in the Forbidden Forest last night.

I don't know if the professors have found any useful clues.

Scott stood up, intending to go to the secret passage to meet Eddie.

Percy is trying to organize a self-learning exchange, but some of them, like Scott, choose to leave the classroom.

This made Percy's face a little unpleasant.

Coming to the remote corridor where the one-eyed hunchback witch statue on the third floor was located, Scott used his magic perception to confirm that there was no one around, and then opened the passage of the secret room as quickly as he could.

Descending down the slide, Scott soon came to the bottom of the secret passage.

He lit the Lighting Charm and went to the gap where the studio was and pushed open the tattered wooden door.

In the candlelit room, Eddie and the Weasley twins each held a panoramic telescope and watched with great interest, and when they heard the sound of the door opening, the three of them looked at it in surprise at the same time.

"Time so fast?" Eddie looked at Scott.

He was probably confused by the images in the panoramic telescope, and thought that the Transfiguration Club was over normally.

Scott explained why, closed the door, and walked over to the old desk and sat down.

Fred and George had already picked up the panoramic binoculars and continued to look at them.

"I thought ......" Eddie first showed a blank expression, then suddenly a look of excitement, "By the way, Scott, I have a big new discovery!" ”

"What's new?"

Scott looked at the several panoramic telescopes lined up on the table, and Eddie had numbered them.

"There were two people hiding in another house, the dilapidated mansion not far from Gaunt's old house," Eddie said. ”

He shook the panoramic telescope in his hand.

"This is Shot 7 placed near that mansion, and I saw through it."

Riddle House?

Scott's mind suddenly understood.

He asked Eddie, "Do you see who it is?" ”

"It's too dark." Eddie shook his head, "But I'm sure they're all wearing black robes, and they're supposed to be Death Eaters, right......"

He raised his binoculars again and looked at it, "One of them seems to be holding a baby in his hand, it's true, I see that baby moves!" ”

Not only Scott, but even Fred and George's attention was attracted by his words and put down the panoramic binoculars in their hands.

"Baby? Who would take a baby to that kind of place? Fu Leifei's face was full of disbelief, "Breastfeeding?" ”

"Maybe Malfoy's dad gave him a brother." George said with a smile.

Scott held out his hand to Eddie, "Show me." ”

Eddie holds Telescope 7 in his hand.

Scott raised the telescope and looked into the lens, at which point the image presented inside the lens was still -

Through the dilapidated windows of the Riddle House, two blurred dark shadows could indeed be seen inside, one of them holding something in his arms, like holding a baby.

Scott stretched out his finger and flicked the round roulette wheel on the lens, causing the image to speed up and rewind until the two dark shadows first appeared in the shot.

The two figures in pitch-black hooded cloaks suddenly appeared through apparition, and when they appeared, the edges of the screen flashed with blood.

It was the red light that Medea had deliberately made in Gaunt's old mansion.

Scott judged that the two men had arrived a little earlier than the rest of the Death Eaters.

Scott continued to look down.

After the two black shadow phantoms came to the courtyard of Riddle House, they immediately entered the house as fast as they could.

One of them was always holding something in his hand, like a swaddling baby wrapped around it, but Scott was sure that the so-called "baby" was Voldemort.

In this way, Voldemort did not "go to the appointment".

He went, but ...... Maybe it was because he was afraid of Medea, or maybe he was wary of Dumbledore, who appeared later, and he had been hiding in the shadows and not showing up.

But he commanded the Death Eaters battle that followed.

Scott fast-forwarded, about four times as fast as he watched the two shadows leave.

The light was so dark that he didn't see any details, but he was sure of his guess.

In the second half of the battle, the reason why the Death Eaters were able to re-emerge one by one after escaping, and even took the gold cup with a tacit relay, was because of the command of Voldemort himself, who was lurking not far away.

Scott paused the frame and put down the No. 7 telescope in his hand.

Fred, who couldn't wait, hurriedly reached out and picked it up and looked at it.

"You guys continue to look for details and clues and document them." Scott told the trio, "I need to do some preparation and 'edit' for the rest of the picture." ”

With that, he pulled out a rectangular mirror from the deformed lizardskin pouch around his waist.

"It's good that I have enough materials in stock."

He muttered, and pulled out a quill and three small glass bottles, two of which contained bright red liquid and one of which contained gray powder.

"What is this?" George, who had just put down the No. 5 telescope, looked curiously at the three small glass bottles.

Scott took out a larger, empty glass bottle and replied, "The blood of the cat and the wicked bird, and the powder left over from the time Boggart died." ”

George's eyes lit up, "You need to engrave a special magic circuit?" ”

Skot nodded, "Part of this set of magic circuits comes from inside the panoramic telescope, and of course, I made some changes to this set of magic circuits with the help of the professor, and added some new things. ”

He didn't say which professor it was, and most people would have defaulted to Professor Babling, but in fact it was the Ravenclaw mentor in the portrait who helped him.

He carefully poured some of the raccoon's blood into the empty glass bottle, then poured in some Boggart powder, then reached into the bottle and stirred it quickly.

"I can probably guess what they do." George seemed interested in what Scott had concocted, "The blood of the cat's civet can increase the sensitivity of the magic circuit, and the powder of the Boggart ...... Something to do with change? ”

Scott nodded slightly, "Boggart's powder can enhance the expressiveness of some of the magic circuits in this group of compound magic circuits, which are a set of magic circuits that can display pictures. ”

As the movements of his hands quickened, and the mana was evenly fused, the mixture of red blood and gray powder finally turned black.

He picked up a quill and dipped it in a glass jar, and began to write the magic script on the mirror.

Since he had practiced a few times, he wrote very smoothly and finished a set in no time.

Then, turning the mirror 90 degrees, he continued to write.

He could feel the other three staring at the movements of his hands.

It wasn't until he put down the quill that the three of them breathed a little heavier.

"This ...... Doesn't seem quite complete? ”

Fred looked at the mirror, which had a lot of vacancies and unfilled.

"It's not finished yet."

Scott took out a new quill, dipped it in some of the Wicked Bird's blood, and began to write in the blank space of the mirror.

"The blood ...... of the wicked woman," George whispered, "is it about the magic circuit of sound?" I was still there just now, but unfortunately the panoramic telescope does not have the function of recording sound. ”

"I tried to add a sound part."

Scott said as he wrote.

"Of course, because the panoramic telescope can't record sound, we can't match the picture with the original sound."

He quickly finished writing the rest of the script.

Fred asked, "Didn't it activate, did it fail?" ”

"One last step to go."

Scott pulled out another bottle of mercury and an extraordinarily thick quill pen.

He dipped the quill in mercury and drew intricate arcs on the mirror.

When the last stroke fell, the originally scattered magic circuits on the mirror were suddenly linked, and they all emitted a soft light.

Scott quickly picked up his wand and lit it on the edge of the mirror.

For a moment, all the magic words and lines on the mirror began to emit a golden light, but this light soon faded.

As the light faded, the magic circuit on the mirror also disappeared, leaving only a smooth and clean mirror.

"Did it work?" Eddie asked, "How do I use it?" ”

Fred had reached for the mirror and fiddled with it.

"It's already a work of alchemy." He laughed and said, "Although I didn't use any alchemy techniques. ”

George stared at the movement in his hand, "It looks like you won't use it." ”

Fred shrugged his shoulders and put the mirror back in front of Scott.

Scott first packed up his other things and then straightened the mirror.

"The next ......," he smiled as he looked at the three of them, "is the moment to witness the miracle." ”

He held his wand and pressed the tip of it against the No. 1 telescope he had first looked at.

As his wand pulled, a strand of silver silk attached to the tip of his wand and was withdrawn from Telescope 1.

Then he flicked his wand and flicked the long strand of silver over the mirror.

The moment the silver silk catkins came into contact with the mirror, the originally hidden magic text circuit on the mirror immediately showed faint traces, and the silver catkins instantly melted and sank.

When the silver silk wool completely melted away, the original silver mirror changed again.

Like pouring ink into water, the black spreads through the mirror, filling the front mirror and revealing the image.

"Oh!"

Watching this scene, Eddie and the twins exclaimed at the same time.

"It's kind of like using a meditation pot." Fred pressed his wand against his temple, "That's how people usually take memories and put them in a meditation basin to look at them carefully. ”

"It's really related to the way you use the meditation pot." Scott said.

He tapped his wand in the center of the frame, and the still screen began to playβ€”

First, a green-robed man appeared in the dilapidated courtyard of Gaunt's old house, and Medea's carriage descended from the sky along with the other green-robed men.

Scott's wand swipes left and the screen begins to recede, and swipes right and the screen begins to fast-forward.

"This thing feels clearer and easier to use than a TV!" Eddie said in a tone of surprise.

"Of course, this is the magic mirror I made!"

Scott said with a hint of meaning.

"Although it can only play the images stored in it, its main purpose is to help me 'edit' and process the images."

After a little show-off, he said to the three of them, "Hurry up and check all the images in the other telescopes to see if there are any details missing." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his wand and began to check the images in the other panoramic telescopes.

There are a total of seven perspectives, and Scott has roughly gone through them, and he immediately knows what to expect.

The incident that took place in the village of Little Hangleton can be described as a three-way melee.

Medea wanted to lure Voldemort into the Horcruxes by destroying them, and prepared a trap for them.

However, Voldemort, who had not yet regained his strength, was extremely cautious, and although he reached the village of Little Hangleton, he did not show up, but secretly manipulated the Death Eaters to snatch the possible Horcruxes.

The third forces are some of the righteous Aurors and Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore, who are not technically in the same group, but are on the same page.

For Dumbledore and the Aurors, the best outcome would certainly be to wipe out Medea and Voldemort, and of course, they failed to achieve their goal.

And the result of this incident is -

Medea retreated, losing some of her green-robed men.

Voldemort was given a gold cup that was unknown but most likely fake, and he lost some of the Death Eaters who served him.

Dumbledore and the Aurors failed to capture Medea and Voldemort, and the loss was that some of the Aurors were injured, but the gain was that many Death Eaters and Greens were captured.

Eddie smiled and said, "In this way, the witch of recovery, as the initiator of the incident, not only did she not gain anything, but she lost a lot. ”

"I think she was prepared for that." "At this stage, she just needs to make a posture against the Dark Lord, and it doesn't matter too much whether she wins or loses." ”

"Oh, is she trying to tell the people that she is on the same page as everyone else, so that everyone is no longer wary of her?" Eddie said keenly.

Scott smiled, "I guess it's a subtle process. ”

"All I know is that Azkaban is welcoming new guests again." Fred said with a grin.

"Whether it's a Death Eater or a green-robed man, I hope the people who get caught are some nasty guys." George laughed too, "Like old Malfoy." ”

"While both the Death Eaters and the Greenrobes attacked the Aurors, it was clear that the Death Eaters had committed more serious crimes, and they used the Unforgivable Curse," Scott said. ”

He got busy as he spoke, and he re-engraved the image from all seven panoramic telescopes in the magic mirror.

"It's a big project." Scott slid his wand over the mirror, cutting the image into seven parts, and muttered.

Although he only had meager experience in editing short videos in his previous life, he could only bite the bullet.

After all, other people are even less good at it.

"Are we going to make money selling mirrors like this after that? I mean, save your edits. ”

Eddie asked as he watched Scott's actions.

"Such a complex function has to be sold more expensive, after all, it is too troublesome to make a mirror like this."

"What are you thinking? Why did you suddenly become stupid? Scott glanced at him, "Of course it's a rudimentary version that can only be played and can't be changed." ”

"Well, you're right."

Eddie immediately planned and began calculating costs and expected profits.

"Don't get too happy, Eddie." Fred's laughing voice rang out.

"I'm not optimistic about this business." George said, "Can such images really be sold?" It's about the witch and the demon king, as well as the headmaster and the Auror. ”

Eddie shook his confused head and shouted, "What the hell are we doing!" ”

"When I'm done, I'll show it to Professor Flitwick." Scott said calmly, "If the professor allows it, he can only sell it." ”

"Don't think about it, no matter from that point of view, the professor won't promise us." Eddie said with some frustration.

"Be open-minded." Scott quickly edited the video, "While we may not be allowed to sell this content, we can create more content to sell." This time it's time to break through the technical difficulty. ”

Eddie immediately understood what he meant.

He might have been staring at the panorama for too long and was confused, but when he heard about the reliable way to make money, he immediately became savvy again.

"Oh, Fred." He took aim at Fred, "We can help you make a romantic documentary about you and Angelina, and it only costs 20 gold gallons." ”

"Go away! I don't need to! Fred exclaimed, "My love doesn't need to be witnessed in this way!" ”

George couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey, Fred, as your closest brother, I didn't even witness your love, only your secret love. ”

"Soon." Fred refused to admit defeat and said, "I can date Angelina as long as I want." ”

"So don't you need a documentary to record the first date?" Eddie asked.
