A Hogwarts Professor of Magic Chapter 398 Projection Technology



Harry, Ron and Hermione stayed to watch the game, and this was the result of their begging, because Professor McGonagall kept urging them to go to the temporary tent for treatment.

"I'm fine, Professor McGonagall." Harry said, and then he took the white fresh essence from Hermione and applied it to his wound, and the bleeding stopped quickly.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and stared at him for a long time. Taking advantage of this time, Harry hurriedly lowered his head to recite a healing spell for himself. This was one of the spells he learned. Professor Happ hinted that some spells would be used as the promotion standards for the new school year. He felt his wound itchy, and he couldn't help reaching out to touch it. Professor McGonagall's stern eyes looked at him again, and he had to put his hand down. Ron beside him laughed out loud.

"Okay, after watching the game, you...you have to go to Madam Pomfrey for a check-up." Professor McGonagall said, she glanced at Ron and Hermione, except that their bodies and faces were dirty and dusty, they didn't look injured at all.

Harry repeatedly assured that Professor McGonagall left, and then Harry found that his wound had tightened.

"I've never found such a useful spell." Harry said in amazement.

"Oh, this spell can only heal some minor wounds. If you plan to become a healer in the future, you will find that there are too many things to learn." Hermione said as she put the small bottle of distilled essence into her pocket.

"Who would want to be a healer?" Ron muttered. He noticed that Ron and Hermione were both looking at him. "I mean, you have to face a lot of weird cases every day... I should have told you that Bill had a Brazilian pen pal when he was in school. Because he couldn't afford to travel, the pen pal sent him a cursed hat... Anyway, his ears were more wrinkled than a house elf, and his mother had to take him to the hospital... I was only five or six at the time, but St. Mungo's left a deep impression on me."

He frowned and a disgusted expression on his face.

"...Wizards with an extra arm on their chests and witches who think they can only hop around like kangaroos are really weird. There are no kangaroos in the UK! I remember a poor guy whose chest was pierced by an animal. The wound was bleeding all the time. When the healer cleaned it, it smelled terrible..."

Harry and Hermione felt uncomfortable.

When the game was over, Professor McGonagall looked over with a majestic gaze. Before the three of them could react, she suddenly appeared next to them as if she had used Apparition, so they immediately walked towards the temporary tent.

"Potter," Harry turned his head and heard Professor McGonagall say to them, "And Weasley, Granger... you did a great job!" She pursed her lips and said in a surprisingly gentle voice, "Go to the tent, Madam Pomfrey is waiting for you... maybe you can come back before the judges give the scores."

When passing by the stands, the crowd shouted their names enthusiastically. A huge arm hung down from the platform. It was Hagrid. He said excitedly, "You succeeded! Great, you are facing the most ferocious Hungarian Horntail."

Harry, Ron and Hermione smiled and took turns to high-five Hagrid. Ron said lightly, "Oh... It's not that difficult..."

At the temporary wooden gate, Sirius rushed over excitedly and hugged them.

"You are the best team I have ever seen!"

...

At the same time, a heated discussion was going on in the judges' seat on the high platform. The seven judges exchanged opinions on the performance of the six teams.

"Is the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon a little too weak?" Karkaroff questioned.

"No," Bagman retorted, "You saw it! Its flames melted the special chains of the dragon farm. It is the strongest among the several fire dragons... Felix, you are the safety officer and you can see it most clearly from a high place. You tell me!"

He looked at Felix. As the last line of defense, although Felix did not have the power to give scores, he was also pulled over, on the pretext of "providing details that others cannot see."

"In fact, except for the Hungarian Horntail, the other five fire dragons are similar," Felix scratched his chin and said, "If we have to compare, the Swedish Short-nosed Dragon is relatively strong among them. At least its flame temperature is extremely high... What I saw is that everyone in the team completed their respective tasks excellently."

"Cedric Diggory's weather magic made the fire dragon irritable and irrational, which can be seen from the fact that it broke free and chose to disperse the rain clouds instead of attacking the warriors... Roger Davis' timing of the attack was also very clever. His Disillusionment Charm was not outstanding, and in order to avoid being discovered, he did not make any moves in the early stages, but his role in the team was crucial,"

Felix said with a smile, "He is the clarion call for saving the day and launching a general attack."

"If the fire dragon had gone crazy and attacked Diggory, Davis must have stood up decisively to stop it, and the actual situation was also worthy of praise. He activated the black thorns when the fire dragon just flew off the ground... an excellent growth spell... As for Collins Foley, she didn't make many moves, but you should be able to see the patience, courage and trust in her teammates she showed throughout the game. She squatted under the feet of the Swedish short-nosed dragon for at least two minutes. If there was a slight accident in the middle, she might not have been able to run away."

The judges present were all discerning, and Felix just stated the facts.

They finished their discussion quickly and were ready to give scores. Felix suddenly said, "The purpose of the competition is to select the best young wizards from different schools, let them compete on the same stage, participate in the training, and hope that they can show the courage that wizards admire in difficult tasks... Dear judges, I suggest that each judge should give a few comments when giving specific scores, so that the warriors can know their strengths and weaknesses..."

The judges looked at each other.

"Will it take too long?" Bagman said a little dazedly: "We didn't arrange this process... But it's not impossible..."

"As the headmaster, of course I hope to see the warriors gain something in this year." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Fudge looked at the other judges hesitantly: "What do you think?"

"This is a good idea." Madame Maxime said, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but welcomed it very much.

"I also agree with this proposal. The students of Vagado should know their shortcomings and should not make the same mistake twice." The headmaster of Vagado, the skinny witch, said that she sat cross-legged on a flying carpet, as if she had walked out of a comic book.

In fact, the British Ministry of Magic has banned the manufacture and sale of flying carpets, but she only uses it herself, and she is a foreigner, so Fudge pretended not to see it.

"Your speech is very wise, Ms. Nudge." Felix bowed slightly.

Several judges agreed one after another, and they sat back in their seats at the judges' table, ready to score. Felix left the podium and smiled at Karkaroff. He didn't look very happy.

"Ahem! Silence," Bagman said loudly, and the crowd in the stands gradually quieted down. "Next is the judges' scoring. In order to make the warriors remember more than just one score, each judge will give some pertinent comments."

"But please allow me to review the entire game first. Many people may not have time to see the whole picture, after all, there are too many wonderful scenes and the eyes can't take care of them all... I will describe them in the order in which the dragon eggs were obtained."

"The first team I want to talk about is the warriors from Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory, Roger Davis and Collins Foley. They picked up the dragon egg in the shortest time and defeated the fire dragon without suffering any injuries.

The second team to get the dragon egg was the warriors from Ugadu. Nona Lebert used a wonderful cheetah transformation to bring out the dragon egg. Of course, their strategy was a bit radical, resulting in one team member being trapped by the fire dragon and the safety officer intervening in the game, which may become a deduction. Despite this, they also presented us with a wonderful game.

The third team to get the dragon egg also came from Hogwarts. They are the youngest and are still in the fourth grade. But they performed very well. They were the only two teams that got the dragon egg and successfully escaped from the dragon.

The fourth team to get the dragon egg was Durmstrang, although they only got some fragments.

The fifth team to get the dragon egg was Beauxbatons. Miss Delacour was very brave. At the last moment, she threw the dragon egg to her teammates, but she got into trouble and had to rely on the protection of the security guard.

The last team was Ilvermorny. Well, although they didn’t get the dragon egg, it was a matter of strategy. Their composite magic was still very eye-catching... "

Bagman gave a general introduction to the performance of the six teams, allowing the audience to re-recall it in their minds. They talked about it. At this time, the warriors in the audience came back one after another. After waiting for a while, he said loudly: "Then, please give the first team a score!"

Harry squinted and looked at the judges' seat. The first judge, Madame Maxime, raised her wand. A long ribbon-like thing emerged from the tip of the wand, twisting to form a number "10".

Madam Maxime commented: "The Hogwarts team fully demonstrated the qualities that a warrior must possess: courage, wisdom, loyalty, and trust. In this one event alone, their performance is impeccable. I give them a 10."

Her fair speech won her warm applause.

"Maybe they will get full marks." Ron clapped his hands and said. The sixth judge still gave 10 points. "I hope we are not too far behind. Logically speaking, our performance is not bad, right?"

Harry nodded vigorously and looked at the last judge. Karkaroff slowly raised his wand, and the silver ribbon twisted to form the number "7".

Everyone on the field was a little dazed and couldn't believe their eyes. They were all ready to welcome the first full-score team, but now it has all vanished. The number seven is so dazzling.

"Karkaroff..." On the podium, Bagman looked at him hesitantly.

Karkaroff said in his characteristically smooth, greasy voice: "You saw courage, but I saw recklessness. They didn't need to stun the dragon at all. It would bring potential danger..."

But before he finished speaking, someone in the crowd started to make noises. "Nonsense!" Seamus shouted loudly. Karkaroff looked over with a cold gaze, but Seamus bravely looked at him and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone understands what happened. It was the best choice at the time!"

A chorus of approving voices echoed him.

"I stick to my opinion," Karkaroff said.

"Okay," Bagman snorted twice, "Each judge has the right to score independently... So, the total score of the Hogwarts team is 67 points, temporarily ranking first. I believe it will be difficult for the latecomers to catch up, but it's hard to say... Let's continue..."

...

In the end, Harry and his team got 61 points, ranking second. Ludo Bagman enthusiastically praised the youngest warriors and gave them full marks without hesitation. The warriors of Ugadu scored 53 points, ranking third; Durmstrang scored 50 points, ranking fourth; Beauxbatons scored 48 points, ranking fifth; and Ilvermorny scored 23 points.

The more controversial was the ranking of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons. No one expected that when all the judges gave six or seven points, Karkaroff shamelessly raised ten points, causing an uproar.

You know, although Bagman gave Harry's group ten points, it was also in the case of a nine-point minimum. Although it was abrupt, it was not a big problem. It only showed that Bagman particularly favored young and controversial warriors, and Karkaroff's approach was blatant cheating.

After the scoring was over, the warriors and judges gathered again in the temporary tent, waiting to receive information about the second project. Felix was about to leave, but Bagman stopped him enthusiastically, "Don't leave so quickly, Felix, I have something to discuss with you..."

The footsteps outside kept passing by, and the sound of discussion was endless. Harry sat aside, bored and dazed. He escaped from under the dragon's feet, and now he was lazy.

"...That biased old idiot, he gave ten points to the warriors of his own school, ten points! Ha, don't you need to compensate for the broken dragon eggs?"

"If I were him, I would be too ashamed to see anyone!"

The heated conversation sounded outside. Harry raised his head and blinked twice. He recognized the two voices, they were Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas. He didn't know if his two roommates were deliberately fighting for justice, because Karkaroff only gave their group 6 points.

In the tent, Karkaroff's face turned blue, but he endured the strange looks from the crowd and said nothing.

Felix smacked his lips. "Although it is normal for the headmaster to favor his own champions, it is still rare to favor them to this extent... Perhaps the scoring rules should be made more transparent."

"We will seriously consider it." Bagman immediately said in cooperation.

Ten minutes later, the footsteps outside became sparse. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, stood up and touched his belly. The gem ring on his thick finger was polished to a shine. He said enthusiastically: "I want to congratulate all the champions and congratulate you on successfully passing the first level. I noticed that some teams did not perform well, but there will be opportunities later... I will introduce the second project. Originally, Barty was supposed to come, but he asked for a long vacation. Maybe he was too tired. I had to turn down the meeting with the Austrian Minister of Magic..."

No one was interested in his boring work log, but he still spoke for a full ten minutes, from the strange habit of the Austrian Minister of Magic to the crucible teapot of the president of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association. He seemed to want to add some humor to his speech, but it was obviously beyond his ability.

"Kingsley!" he shouted.

A tall, dark-skinned man walked in from outside the tent, holding two golden eggs, one in each hand.

"The second project will be held on the morning of February 24th next year. Before that, you can have a good rest for a while." Fudge said, "The golden eggs in your hands are the clues for the second project. Do you see the gaps? They can be opened. You need to decipher the information left behind. To be honest, I'm not sure if I will come when the second project is underway. Maybe Barty will have recovered by then, but I may come to join in the fun. Being with the best wizards in the world, I feel younger..."

He waved his hand, and Kingsley controlled the two golden eggs to fly towards the warriors of Durmstrang and Ilvermorny.

When Krum and Byers took the golden eggs, both of them looked a little ashamed. Among the six teams, they were the only ones who failed to protect the dragon eggs.

"Ludo, the rest is up to you." Fudge said to Bagman, and he nodded to everyone, "Sorry, there are too many things to do in the Ministry. I have to leave first."

When everyone else left, Ludo Bagman finally had time to communicate with Felix alone. He pulled over a chair and sat next to Felix's single sofa.

"There are two things related to you." He said impatiently: "The first thing involves a unique magic of yours. I want to ask about its effect. It may be used in the second project... The second thing is about your 'Future World' company."

Felix was stunned and looked at him with an inquiring look: "Have you found Remus? He is in charge of the company now."

"I have," Bagman's expression was a little sad: "But he said he couldn't make the decision. I can only come to you to beg you..."

"Do you want me to donate some money?"

"Oh, no, of course not. I heard that Remus is organizing people to develop projection technology? You know, Barty has taken a leave of absence. Now the burden is on me alone. In order to make the game more interesting, some brave innovations must be made. This is also part of courage, what do you think?"

Felix thought quickly.

He knew about the projection technology, and it was he who arranged it. It was inspired by the panoramic telescope of the Quidditch World Cup. This gadget uses a very interesting magic that can temporarily store images.

Felix's requirement for the Future World Research Team is to imitate the function of a TV and make something similar. He mentioned some concepts of signal towers and extensions, and there was a magic radio for reference. The progress was not slow, but he had not had time to ask in detail what specific stage it had reached.

"Don't be quick to refuse," Bagman saw Felix lost in thought, and couldn't help saying, "This will be an excellent advertisement, and the department has agreed to pay a rent. Of course... it is impossible to buy it. The budget I control is limited."

"If it is a normal business transaction, I can't understand why Remus refused." Felix said slowly.

"Ahem, he thinks I am a big mouth and keep the progress of the research secret..." Bagman turned his head away awkwardly.

"Okay, I'll ask for you."

"Then the first thing...?" Bagman explained in detail.

After a moment of thought,

"I think this kind of competition is interesting enough." Felix crossed his arms and said with a bright eye.
