Chapter 219: Professional Repairman
When Harry sat down, he was still clutching the cloth bag containing the remnants of Halo 2001, and the other two 'old guys' in the office had already guessed what Harry was visiting at this time.
"During the day today, Minerva came over and told me about your condition, and by the way mentioned your broomstick--"
Surprisingly, Professor Blaine, who was the director of this office, did not speak, but just stared at himself with sparkling eyes, but instead Professor Lupin rubbed his hands on the vigorous flame in the fireplace, and walked over lightly,
"It can be seen that she is worried about the future of the Gryffindor team this year."
Harry's face darkened suddenly, including his mood, as he had once again fallen to the power of the Dementors, and the Gryffindor team was now one step away from being out...
Harry suddenly thought to him if he should apologize to Professor McGonagall, because the broom he had given him was given to him by Professor McGonagall in his first year, and now, because of his weakness, the broom had finally fallen apart.
"Of course..."
As if to see that he was in a bad mood, Professor Lupin immediately added, "Minerva obviously cares more about you than about the game. ”
"That's true--"
At this point, Professor Blaine suddenly interjected, "I was also complained about by Professor McGonagall. ”
"But what does that have to do with you?"
Harry asked, a little surprised.
"Well, Professor McGonagall thinks--"
Amosta scratched her head and grinned
"She probably meant that if I had been in the arena, I might have been able to spot the signs before the Dementors stormed the schoolyard... Well, this is indeed a lesson, and I am planning to discuss with the deans of each college that from now on, there will be activities where more than a certain number of teachers and students will gather, and I will file here in advance, so that I can free up time in advance to escort them. ”
"That's a good idea, Amosta."
Lupin nodded approvingly,
"Even if nothing extras happen, with your on-site supervision, we can avoid conflicts between the young wizards of the various houses..., to be honest, this kind of thing was not uncommon in my years at Hogwarts."
Professor Bryan and Professor Lupin discussed the reporting process for a while, and Harry was a little interested in the topic, and he listened quietly, not in the slightest bit unhappy that he had neglected him.
"So--"
Suddenly, Professor Blaine turned his gaze to himself and said bluntly,
"You're here to let me show you your broomstick, right, Potter?"
"That's right, Professor,"
Harry kept carrying the cloth bag, and he didn't let go even when he sat down, such an obvious thing, a wizard like Professor Blaine couldn't understand it for no reason, Harry immediately stood up, because he was too nervous, he was choked by the spit and coughed several times,
"It's badly damaged... I'm not sure--"
Then, at the urging of Professors Bryan and Lupin, Harry scrambled to empty the scraps from the sack.
"Oh, oh my God--"
Professor Lupin exclaimed slightly, but there was not much surprise in his voice, and he looked at the broken foam on his desk and sighed deeply,
"That beating willow was planted the year I arrived at Hogwarts, and at first many young wizards were curious... I was trying to touch the trunk of the tree, and then one of David Gjein's boys almost went blind in one eye, and the school wouldn't let us go near him anymore... Truth be told, no broom can withstand it. ”
It also nearly killed Ron and me...
Harry was concerned, but then, he noticed Professor Bryan standing up from his seat, bending down and holding out his two index fingers to pinch the residue of a broom handle and look at it carefully, Harry immediately held his breath, his blue eyes shining with anticipation.
There was a brief silence in the office, barely audible even the sound of matches cracking.
After a moment, Amosta picked up another piece of debris with his free other hand, compared it with each other, and studied the magical corridors inside the broomsticks that were indiscernible from a normal perspective.
Call--
After a long time, Amosta put the two pieces of diamond-shaped wood that fit together in front of him, shook out the wand in his cuff, and grunted, and then, under Harry's surprised gaze, a faint fluorescent light flowed through the gap between the two pieces of wood with difficulty, and they were completely glued together.
"It worked!"
Harry exclaimed as if he had lifted himself off his weight at once.
"Incredible--"
Looking at the two pieces of wood slag that had been spliced together, Lupin also showed a surprised expression,
"You can really fix Harry's broomstick, Amosta, as far as I know, the broomstick is a very sophisticated alchemy item, especially the Halo series, which has at least a thousand intricate magical corridors--"
"It's not that simple."
Amosta's short words silenced Lupin and caused the surprise on Harry's face to freeze.
"Back to normal--"
Amosta, who had a good idea in his heart, pointed to a small pile of sawdust on the table and sighed.
The tip of the ebony wand spewed out a hazy air current, and the wood scum was swept into the air by the air current, and in the sparks that were scattered from time to time, the messy wood chips found their place with each other and glued together, and it didn't take long for a complete light wheel 2000 to appear in front of everyone!
It worked!
Looking at the Light Wheel 2000, which was wrapped in a faint air current, once again completely complete, Harry's heart was filled with a great joy.
"Your alchemical prowess is astonishing, Amosta."
Remus Lupin also gasped and said.
Amosta didn't speak, he reached out and removed the light wheel, his eyes following the thumb rubbing against the broomstick handle, as if he were observing something.
"That's probably all there is to it--"
After a while, Amosta said regretfully, he saw Harry with a happy face, and said calmly,
"Don't be happy, Harry, I didn't fix your broomstick."
"But?"
Amosta waved his hand, motioning for Harry to be quiet,
"Just like Professor Lupin said, the internal structure of most alchemy props is very complicated, and there are hundreds of interconnected magic corridors in my spare time, although I can barely weld most of the magic channels inside this broom, but due to the lack of design drawings of the broom, for those places that have suffered destructive damage--"
Lupin nodded knowingly, but Harry was still confused.
This is actually the reason why the same spell can have completely different effects in different people's hands.
The wizarding world can say that more than 99% of wizards are aware of the standard spells they use on a daily basis but do not know why, many wizards only know the magic of magic, but they do not know that magic is not 'unprincipled' magic, similar to Muggle science, magic also follows a strict set of logical rules.
"That is--"
Amosta patiently explained,
"In the future, if you want to ride this broom on the lawn and chase butterflies, I don't think it will be too much of a problem... Maybe it's just that the steering isn't very flexible, but you're counting on it for an intense, high-intensity Quidditch match, Harry, and I'd suggest you'd go on the pitch with a parachute on your back--"
