Chapter 616: Culture Invades Another World
At six o'clock in the morning in winter, the darkness above the canopy outside is the same as before going to bed.
Harry didn't think it was so painful to leave the warm bed at this point in time, and it only took him a dozen seconds to recall why he had set the alarm clock at such a point in time, quickly dressed and got out of bed, and then went to the bathroom to clean up.
The boots were spotless, the wizard's robes were neat without a single wrinkle, and even the glasses he was wearing, Harry had asked Hermione to help him clean up with magic before going back to the dorm last night.
The only blemish was that his hair was still hanging on the top of his head, and no matter how much Harry tried to smooth them, it was useless.
Neville was no longer in the room, and the other three boys were still sleeping soundly, mainly because they had discussed the game too late last night, and they had taken the trouble to get Harry and Neville to tell them about their escort mission today.
"Good morning, Harry--"
Harry didn't find anyone in the common room, but when he went down to the Great Hall for breakfast, he met Ginny at the Gryffindor table.
"Good morning, Ginny--"
Harry greeted Ginny, he moved his eyelids in surprise, he could see that Ginny must have taken the time to dress herself, she looked much more beautiful than ever, of course, compared to the smiling girl at the Ravenclaw table—for Harry.
"Are you the only one?"
"Hmm-"
Ginny's cheeks flushed, and her eyes flickered,
"A group of people just left, and I haven't eaten yet, so I'm staying here."
"Well, looks like we're going to have to speed things up too—"
Harry nodded awkwardly, no longer speaking but lowered his head and gobbled up, he could sense that Ginny was looking at him with a plaintive look, and now Harry could basically face Ginny's admiration with a more calm mood, of course, this was also due to Ginny's age.
"I want you to remember the rules!"
By the time Harry and Ginny hurried to the school gates, most of the PE class had already gathered, everyone in brand-new wizarding robes and chattering excitedly. And on important occasions, Filch, who always wears his moldy tuxedo, is roaring hoarsely,
"You want to represent Hogwarts, anything that tarnishes the school's image will be punished, this is Professor Blaine's order, listen, little cubs, I have applied to Professor Blaine for permission to use some of the old ways of disobeying students, if you want to taste it, then come!"
Lady Loris, whose fur was more oily than usual, crouched on Filch's shoulder, and let out a menacing growl at the right time.
"This old rice bucket is good for nothing but using chicken feathers as arrows--"
Fred, who was chatting with Angelina, took the moment to make a sarcastic remark, and Harry sneered when he heard him say that.
Filch dreamed of putting the students in the castle in chains, but everyone knew that it was impossible.
Filch's frustration at the discovery that he could not establish his authority in front of this group of lawless students even with Professor Blaine's orders, his mood immediately slumped, he snorted a few times in anger, and then, turned around and took out the key to open the school door.
As they walked through the damp leaf-covered forest, it was pitch black until they walked up a hill along a rugged trail when the morning light became visible, and then the students were surprised to find that on the top of a hill adjacent to them, a tall metal pole was erected, like an antenna.
"I heard from Professor Flitwick that it was an alchemy prop used to transmit the game footage, and it was Professor Brian's invention—"
Qiu Zhang said with a little awe.
"Something seems to be up there--" Neville said hesitantly, squinting his eyes, "looks like a house-elf?" ”
"It's the elves, Neville—" Harry said decisively.
The topic of how Professor Bryan was going to show the Hogwarts scene to the entire European wizarding community was hot, but some people already knew the answer. For example, the three Weasley siblings and Harry.
"That's really not easy--"
George whispered to Harry,
"We've always wanted to restore this set of things, but no matter how many times we try, we can't succeed, this is not something that can be done with a little knowledge of transfiguration and alchemy!"
Fred and George had been obsessed with it since they snuck into Professor Bryan's office early last year and saw the magical device, and Harry knew that they had been trying their best to produce it themselves, but it was no surprise, this wonderful alchemy item was not a joke product that Fred and George were good at.
"How's your business going?"
Harry snorted and asked casually.
At the mention of this, Fred and George immediately became excited, they were about to say something, however, the morning sun in the sky was free from the shackles of the horizon in an instant, and the hundreds of millions of golden silk threads made the dull world come alive at once, and the students were shocked to find that the antenna erected was not just one adjacent to the mountain, until the end of the line of sight, almost every few mountains, there would be one such antenna.
"These crazy goblins!"
Hufflepuff's Justin Finchrie said in surprise,
"I can't imagine how much gold this will cost!"
Finreri's emotion caused Draco to snort contemptuously, and although he was not very interested in running the family business from a business family, he had a far more business vision than anyone else.
Admittedly, the new equipment that the elves have funded is worth a lot of money, but they can get more out of this live broadcast, and if they can convince Professor Bryan to sell the technology, then the equipment will not be a one-off, and they will work entirely with WWN to bring a whole new form of entertainment to the wizarding world, and with a little brain, you will know how many gold Galleons are hidden in it.
Outside of the beginning of the school season or the summer and Christmas holidays, Hogsmeade Station can be much more deserted, with only a few Hogsmeade villagers serving the huge station.
Outside the station, Hogwarts carriages used to pick up and drop off students were lined up on the platform, washed and cleaned, with a new red carpet on the ground from the exit to the boarding point, with brightly colored flower baskets on either side of the red carpet every few steps.
When Harry walked into the station, he found that inside the station, there was a flag on the two steel pillars supporting the main body of the building, which was the flag of Hogwarts, and a huge banner was pulled up between the two steel pillars - "Warm welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
"Whose idea was this?" Millicent asked, smacking his lips.
"It certainly won't be Dumbledore—" Draco said casually, staring at the flower-filled station with interest, "it could only be Professor Bryan." ”
The sparse sunlight finally lit up this ancient landscape, the sky, the faint sound of the whistle wandering among the mountains, the little wizards waiting in the station were shocked, they quickly stood up according to the rehearsal array, and everyone raised their chests with a sense of pride.
Today, the castle by the lake will once again become the focus of public opinion in the European magical community and even the world's magical civilization!
