After the conversation in the president's office, Scott was ready to work the production of a promotional video for Ravenclaw College.

In this school year, he not only focused on studying for a long time, but also experienced a lot of mental work, and this production of the promotional video can be regarded as a fun time for himself to relax the mood that has been relatively tense.

After dinner, he, Eddie, and the Weasley twins returned to their studio in the secret passage.

Eddie looked at the twins in amazement, but finally couldn't help but speak, "You guys made it through the afternoon Potions class safely?" ”

Fred immediately had a smug look on his face, and he said, "We have a lot of experience in this kind of thing. ”

George also raised his chin and said, "Even that old bat from Snape can't do anything about us." ”

Eddie smiled and asked, "You didn't fall asleep in class?" Didn't blow up the crucible either? ”

"Of course not, and we didn't skip school." Fred said.

"How did you do that?" Eddie was surprised.

Fred and George smiled smugly at him, but they just didn't say anything.

Scott looked at the energetic appearance of the two and asked, "Is it an energy potion or a time turner?" ”

Fred and George shrugged their shoulders at the same time.

"Well, it's a time turner." George said, "We've wanted to give it a try since we saw Hermione and Harry save Buckbeak with the time-turner last semester. ”

Fred grinned, "So we stole Percy's time turner before the afternoon class began, and went back to the morning and slept beautifully all morning. ”

"Can this be?" Eddie was a little annoyed, "I knew I would have taken a few more classes so that I could get a time turner to play." ”

Fred and George looked at him disapprovingly.

"It's not a good thing."

"Not everyone can do as hard as Percy does to complete all the classes at the same time, you know, even Hermione can't stand it anymore."

"Okay." Eddie shrugged his shoulders as well, "I'm just talking. ”

The four of them laughed and laughed, and Fred and George continued to work on the set of magic circuits that had been cracked from the panoramic telescope, while Eddie was busy designing his promotional brochure.

Scott decided to improvise a tool that could record sounds.

He asked Fred and George, "What do you think is the best material to carry the sound?" ”

"What do you mean?" Fred raised an eyebrow, "Isn't your [Magic Mirror] okay?" I remember using the blood of the evil woman to engrave the magic circuit? ”

"I needed a better one to capture the sound and make the promo video," Scott said. ”

"It's good enough." George said, "Otherwise, you can add crystal powder." ”

"Good idea." Skod's head.

Crystals can conduct magic very well, can enhance the effect of many magical materials, in the theory of alchemy, crystals are a universal and effective additive.

Scott removed his shape-shifting lizard skin pouch from his belt and pulled out a few of the materials he needed.

This time, he decided to use Transfiguration to create a tool to capture sound.

With a wave of his wand, he lit a small piece of brass on the table, transforming it into an eagle with outstretched wings.

The eagle is only the size of a thumb and looks like a brooch.

At the same time as the overall transformation, the eagle's body was transformed into a tiny groove of the magic circuit.

He then mixed the blood of the Wicked Bird with crushed crystal powder and added a little more mercury.

With a wave of his wand, the mixed liquid in the glass bottle turned into filaments and flew up, embedding itself into the tiny grooves of the magic circuit on the brass eagle's body.

Once he had done this, Scott tapped the eagle with his wand again, turning it into an eagle-shaped brooch.

"Done?" Eddie looked at the small brooch curiously, "Try the effect?" ”

Scott smiled and put the brooch in his hand.

The eagle on the brooch moved, opened its mouth and said, "Done?" Try the effect? ”

Exactly the same voice as Eddie.

Scott smiled in satisfaction, and then waved his wand and pulled an illusory silver filament from the brooch and threw it into the [Magic Mirror].

Then he stretched out his finger and made a few strokes on the mirror.

"Done? Try the effect? ”

The sound was successfully "imported" into the Magic Mirror, and the "playback" effect was normal.

"We need a lion brooch." Fred said immediately.

Eddie also hastened to say: "I need an eagle brooch, and I am also the producer of the promotional video." ”

So Scott made an eagle brooch and two lion brooches for the trio.

He told the trio, "We'd better find cheaper materials to make a simple player that we can sell later." ”

He tapped [Magic Mirror] and continued, "The cost of this thing is not cheap, and not many students at Hogwarts can afford it. ”

Eddie immediately agreed, "You're right, look at the materials you used to make [Magic Mirror], the blood of the raccoon dog and the evil woman, the boggart powder, it's all expensive things. ”

"Can't it all be just mercury?" George asked, "If you need to engrave the magic circuit, this is the most common and cheapest material, although it may not be very effective. ”

"Then let's try it." "It's not meaningful if it's too poor," Scott said. ”

He found a smaller mirror and began to write the inscription with a quill dipped in mercury.

Once all the magic circuits had been activated, he used his wand to "import" a sound and video.

When the broadcast began, all four frowned.

"Nope." Fred looked at the mirror in Scott's hand, "The picture and sound are too blurry. ”

Eddie suggested, "Add crystal powder and try again?" ”

Scott took his suggestion and tried to make a new [Magic Mirror] again.

Judging from the results, the combination of mercury and crystal is indeed much better, although it is not as good as the [magic mirror] that was originally made, but it is barely enough.

"The problem is that crystals aren't too cheap, even if it's crystal powder." George was a little dissatisfied, "If it's a large-scale production, it's also a lot of expense." ”

Eddie laughed, "I'll solve the crystal problem, anyway, we just need crystal powder, and I can get it for free." ”

Both Scott and the twins looked at him curiously.

Eddie said: "My dad has a crystal jewelry factory, and the fine crumbs and powders produced during the crystal cutting process are enough for us. ”

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Fred happily patted Eddie on the shoulder.

Scott also laughed and teased, "It seems that Mr. Carmitchell's business is doing a lot." ”

"It's nothing." Eddie modestly said, "It's just some jewelry business." ”

Solving the problem of making it easier to record sounds, Scott and Eddie began working on a promotional video for Ravenclaw College.

"Let's get started, we'll make our own Gryffindor House promo film later."

"Of course, we'll do it after the invention of the magic camera that captures sound and image in one piece."

Fred and George said confidently.

Scott didn't spend time researching the magic camera.

He was originally for fun, and he used a panoramic telescope and a brooch to complete the production of the promotional video.

For the next few days, the Ravenclaw College students were surprised to see Scott and Eddie haunting with panoramic binoculars.

Auditorium, Library, Ravenclaw Tower, Common Room, House Library, Quidditch Pitch, Classroom ......

They were often seen in all corners of the castle, pointing their binoculars at the students of Ravenclaw College.

Whenever a student asks curiously what they are doing, Scott and Eddie always laugh and say nothing.

Out of curiosity, Roger and Milton, as well as the Weasley twins, often hang out with them.

Roger and Milton helped, while Fred and George followed them to gain experience in making promo films.

Scott and Eddie spent a week "shooting" the footage, and another week editing and soundtrack.

In the end, they decided to hold the premiere on a Saturday night in the Ravenclaw College common room.

The premiere was made of an oversized [magic mirror] made of a huge dressing mirror, which Scott hung horizontally on the wall of the common room.

Saturday, 14 March 1994.

From the beginning of the morning, the large mirror hanging on the wall of the common room attracts everyone's attention.

Students who walk into the common room are drawn to a beautiful melody and look into the big mirror.

In the mirror, there are videos that Scott didn't cut into the promotional video, all of which are from the daily lives of the students at Ravenclaw College.

The students looked at the images in the mirror and talked about it.

"Ha, Dylan, is this you?"

"Of course, you're by my side, Kayla."

"Oh no, there's me in there, there's ink on my face, I remember I was writing my paper at the time!"

"This is a Quidditch match?"

"Where did this picture come from, why is there a picture of me riding a broomstick and getting knocked off!"

It didn't take long for more and more students to gather in front of the big mirror.

Scott, Roger and Milton sat on the couch next to each other watching the scene, while Eddie was already standing by the mirror with his head held high.

A few lines of large letters soon appeared on the mirror.

One of the onlookers read it out loud—

"Collect the images and sounds to record our Ravenclaw, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's first Ravenclaw promotional film, Extraordinary Wisdom."

"Producer: Scott? Trollope, Eddie? Camichell, Roger? Davis, soundtrack: Milton? Grevis, Advisor: Philius? Flitwick, Assisted: All Faculty and Students of Ravenclaw College, Produced: Ravenclaw College! ”

"Saturday, March 14th, 1994 at 8:00 p.m., stay tuned?"

"What is this?"

"Eddie! Tell us about it, you boy. ”

Everyone asked Eddie, who was standing in front of them with a smug face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, of course, please listen to me!"

Eddie clapped his palms and said loudly.

"This is a promotional video that we have specially made to promote our college and let everyone understand more clearly the philosophy and spirit of Ravenclaw College since its establishment......"

Scott, who was sitting on the couch, couldn't help but laugh as he watched this scene.

He said to Roger and Milton, "Look, it's right to leave this to Eddie. ”

"Scott!" Luna ran over to sit down across from Scott and looked at him curiously, "Is this the result of your time in this time?" ”

"That's right." Scott nodded.

"It's fun." Luna glanced back at the image in the large mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

"Scott, what are you?" Jacob also walked up to Scott and asked, "Want to give the other houses a good look?" If nothing else, this year's House Cup is ours too. ”

Scott laughed helplessly, "I didn't think about it that much, just for fun." ”

"yes, that's a lot of fun." Luna chimed in.

Looking at the images of many classmates unintentionally embarrassed, she still couldn't stop laughing.

The expression on Jacob's face was a little stunned, and then he laughed as well, "It's that I'm thinking too much, it's really funny." ”

At this moment, Eddie's promotional speech was already coming to an end, and he loudly announced, "At 8 p.m. tonight, our Dean of Ravenclaw College, Professor Flitsch, will also come to the common room to watch with us!" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone cheered a few times.

After the excitement, everyone dispersed.

Scott went to the Room of Requirement after breakfast.

He used the [Magic Mirror] in his hand to play the finished promotional video for Ravenclaw and Helena in the painting.

By the way, in this promotional video, the portrait of Ravenclaw also appears.

Scott mentioned it to her during the production process, and the portrait of the founder of the academy readily agreed.

As the music becomes softer and softer again, the trailer ends.

"It's funny!"

In the painting, Helena snuggled up to Ravenclaw and said happily: "After reading it, people feel very proud and a little moved, what do you say, mother?" ”

Ravenclaw nodded slowly with a reserved smile on his face, "Very good." ”

Her gaze looked at Scott with a look of obvious appreciation.

"I didn't expect that." "But I think this kind of funny whimsy is enough to change the lives of wizards." ”

Ravenclaw certainly has enough intelligence and sharpness.

Scott shook his head, but did not take credit.

"It's just a learning imitation." He told Ravenclaw, "This form of entertainment has long been widespread throughout the Muggle world, and I'm just using magic to do what they've been doing for a long time." ”

Ravenclaw raises her eyebrows slightly to express her surprise.

"No wonder you used to say that Muggles were growing much faster than wizards." "I have the impression that Muggles are still very ignorant and backward, and can only live a life far inferior to that of wizards as sheep herded by the Holy See," she said in an exclamatory tone. ”

Ravenclaw lived at a time when Muggles had not yet grasped the power of science, and were indeed very ignorant and backward.

Scott said: "Muggles at that time had not yet discovered the way to understand the world, and did not have the power to change the world. But now it's different, they already have some powers that wizards don't have. ”

Ravenclaw discussed with Scott in a very natural way, and even asked Scott to talk to her in detail about the recent and modern history of the rapid development of Muggles.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the most precious treasure of mankind."

Ravenclaw sighed at this quote from her own.

"My words used to be just for wizards, but now it seems that the importance of wisdom is the same for all human beings."

Helena's face changed, as if she remembered something, and she couldn't help but ask Scott, "Is that why Medea made those points?" ”

In the past, she learned from Scott about Medea's banners and proclaimed ideals.

Scott nodded, "According to Medea herself, she has traveled through the Muggle world since leaving Hogwarts, and she has been greatly shocked by the changes in the whole world. ”

"Maybe what she said was right and not alarmist." Helena hesitated, "Wizards should indeed speed up their own development, as she said. ”

Scott did not refute, but said: "Of course her words are right, and only the right ideas will make so many people voluntarily gather around her for her use." ”

Helena asked curiously, "Since you think her words are right, why don't you want to go to her side and help her?" ”

Scott smiled, "The right people will say the right things, and the wrong people will say the right things for some purpose to achieve their own incorrect purposes." ”

Helena nodded knowingly, "Oh, you still can't believe her. Of course, I don't quite believe her when I think of her past performances. ”

Ravenclaw had been listening to the conversation between the two with a smile, and he also asked Scott, "So, do you think Medea's real purpose is not this?" ”

Scott admits, "Maybe she did have the right ideals, but I couldn't really believe it." ”

Ravenclaw smiled meaningfully.

"It's right to be vigilant." "I said the same thing when Salazar left Hogwarts," she says, "but Godric and Helga believed him. ”

Both Scott and Helena in the painting look at her with curious eyes.

Ravenclaw continued: "Salazar, who was unable to teach students the dark arts at Hogwarts because of differences in teaching philosophy, said he was leaving, and he said he would protect the school in secret, which he did, but he never came back since he left. ”

With that, she patted Helena's hand gently.

"Later, Godric and Helga thought that part of the reason he left was to facilitate the teaching and study of the dark arts, but I don't think so, I always thought he had a hidden untold purpose."

Scott rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you think of Medea's current behavior and Salazar?" Is Slytherin related? ”

Ravenclaw didn't answer directly, she just said: "Medea didn't change the ideals and minds of the entire wizarding world when she was young, of course, maybe she has grown up in her later life." ”

Although this is a tact, it still means that she doesn't trust Medea very much.

Regardless, Scott believed in Ravenclaw's vision.

He has always had a sense of awkwardness in the matter of Medea, although Medea's slogan was shouted loudly, he never believed it, probably for the same reason.

Whether it was because of preconceived impressions or not, in short, he never thought that Medea was the kind of person who had the world in mind.

Medea's initial impression on him was simply too great.

She used her magic oath to plunder other people's talents to strengthen herself, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of others, even killing her husband who had lived with her all her life.

These things were completely different from what she later said.

And this time Ravenclaw said Salazar again? Slytherin thing.

Scott could see that his mentor was interested in Salazar? Slytherin had a certain vigilance that had not been dispelled until now, and had even been passed on to her portrait.

In the afternoon, Scott, who had completed the day's study tasks, left the Room of Requirement.

At the long table for dinner, Scott was a little delighted to find that the Ravenclaw students were discussing an upcoming promo.

With the exception of a few, the students of the other houses were bewildered by the lively discussion of the Ravenclaws, who apparently did not understand what the Ravenclaws were discussing.

It seems that the Ravenclaws didn't talk about the promo video with the students of the other colleges.

"They're going to take a look first." Eddie told Scott, "Only if they're sure our promo is good enough that they'll want to go to other colleges and show it off." ”

After dinner, the Ravenclaw students rushed back to their common room amid the surprised gaze of others, and even Roger's Quidditch team canceled their training schedule.

At this time, although the repetition was still playing in the large mirror on the wall, everyone who had already watched it several times was watching it with relish.

at a distance of 8 p.m.; 00 Half an hour later, Professor Flitwick walked into the common room.

His arrival quieted down the students.

"Good evening, everyone."

Professor Flitwick walked over to the single couch that everyone had reserved for him and sat down.

Students sitting near him began to ask him about the promo video.

"I really like the promotional video they made this time, Scott." He told the students, "It's a great idea. ”

His words aroused everyone's curiosity, and they wanted to see it even more.

"Let's get started, Scott!"

"That's it, although it's not yet 8:00 p.m. as agreed, since everyone has already arrived, let's just release it directly!"

"Eddie, you put it in!"

Scott doesn't care, he just doesn't want anyone to miss the time when he decides with everyone.

He was about to stand up and agree, but Milton reached out to stop him.

"Wait a minute." He said, "Since the time is set, the time is scheduled." ”

He is still very particular about the sense of ritual in life.

Scott satisfied his obsessive-compulsive disorder and sat down again.

This made the others even more anxious.

Eddie hurriedly ran up and said something nice.

Professor Flitwick, however, watched with joy the urging of the crowd, neither agreeing nor objecting.
