Chapter 589 The Twins in Trouble

The Easter holidays passed day by day, and Felix had to appear in the solemn courtroom every day, watching the trials of unfamiliar dark wizards one by one. The appearance of an acquaintance was like winning the lottery.

Of course, the fate of those acquaintances was generally not good, because they were Death Eaters and basically would be sentenced to life imprisonment in the end.

The foreign observers sitting opposite him did not act completely as statues. They provided a lot of identity information, and Scrimgeour did not seem to be tired. Before the formal verdict, he always took the trouble to read out the illegal acts that were completely unrelated to the case as background information.

At this time, Felix began to lose focus.

Valen had not come with him for the past few days. He went to settle accounts with Ron Weasley again. Felix was quite surprised. When did Ron develop the hobby of his two brothers? But the telescope did not have any actual harm. It just scared people. Well, it scared them.

There was also - according to Felix's research, the function of this thing should be to print a black eye circle on the face, making it look like being punched. But on Valen, the effect was that the black fluff around his eyes became a ball, sticking softly to his skin. . .

Felix laughed happily.

He even wrote about this in a letter to Grindelwald, "I'll introduce you to each other when I have the chance..."

Of course, these were just episodes. He used a lot of space to describe how different the times were, "After all, you have been isolated from the world for too long, so it's understandable." And part of his plan: "When the war is over, I will pick a suitable opportunity to raise the issue. With the various products of the Future World Company as a foundation, they can more or less understand the technological level of Muggles. By then, they will realize the seriousness of the problem themselves."

In view of the bad attitude shown by the old man in his past letters, Felix also deliberately used his experience in the past for comparison many times.

"...In this way, they will pay great attention to my opinions and will not be labeled as heretics..."

From the reply, Grindelwald was quite excited and tore several pieces of parchment. Of course - it could also be old age.

In addition, Dumbledore's fake tired look was discovered by sharp-eyed reporters the next day. When someone asked him about this issue, he used the excuse of "playing ten-pin bowling too late". His face looked much better after that day, so there was no trend of discussion. In the eyes of the public, Dumbledore was indeed capable of such a thing.

But for some "interested people", his inconsistency seemed to be more obvious.

At the end of the fifth day of the trial, Felix habitually took a walk in Malfoy Manor and keenly discovered that someone had been there. He followed the trail to the garden and saw that the originally gorgeous and exquisite fountain pool had melted into a pool of foul-smelling sewage. He knew what was going on.

Voldemort had been here, but he returned disappointed.

The following days were unremarkable, except for the night of the 15th.

The Weasley twins held a fireworks party on the grounds without any warning. They took out 20 different fireworks at once and set them over the castle. At that time, Felix, Valen, Sirius, and Flitwick were playing cards together. Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside. Flitwick, who was seriously thinking about how to play a card, fell off his chair.

"Summon the blasting-tailed skrewt - God! What happened?"

Flitwick got up from the ground. It seemed that a fire dragon flew past the window just now?

Felix looked out the window silently. A familiar wheel-shaped firework flew over the balcony. He recalled that this thing should have appeared in the eyes of a green skull over Hogwarts not long ago.

Excited shouts came from below the castle.

They came to the balcony and looked down. There was a circle of people under the castle. In the middle of the crowd, Fred was holding a very exaggerated rocket-shaped firework. George held his wand and approached carefully. "It's a bit dangerous. We haven't tried it many times-" He asked everyone to disperse.

Based on past experience, everyone followed the advice obediently and retreated dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye.

"Will this thing explode?" Hermione looked worried.

"Don't worry, they know what they are doing." Ron said happily.

A small orange flame emerged from the tip of George's wand and moved closer to the fireworks. "Be careful not to burn my hand--" Fred shouted, because George's eyes were obviously looking elsewhere. He raised his head and met the eyes of Professor Happ and Professor Black.

Fred grinned guiltily, "Bang!" A huge explosion rolled up layers of air waves and thick smoke, and the two rolled out in embarrassment.

"Failed?" George said disappointedly while sitting on the ground.

"I don't think so." Fred, lying on the ground, looked at the sky and raised one arm. His arm was like a flag. The audience who were choked and coughing followed his instructions and looked up at the sky.

The huge firework rushed straight into the sky. It was almost invisible in the darkness. Only a glowing tail could be vaguely seen. After more than ten seconds, the black velvet-like curtain suddenly exploded with brilliant colors, and countless bright stars appeared in the night. These stars fell from the sky like a meteor shower, and then stopped in the air, forming a colorful pattern.

Felix on the balcony had a blank expression on his face, but the movement of his hands revealed his mood. He stared at the huge bust made of fireworks in the air - the person with a similar face to him smiled brightly and did not forget to give a thumbs up.

There was a suppressed inhalation from below.

"Oh, my God, my God -" Hermione was so shocked that she couldn't speak. People nearby were watching this spectacular scene in surprise.

On the playground, three or five fireworks that looked like exploding skrewts were crawling on the ground, and a firework in the shape of a flying broom was dragging a long banner, indomitably spelling out letters one by one: I wish Professor Hepp a happy birthday -

"Bang!"

Felix raised his wand and let it explode from the air. Not far from here, Dumbledore pushed open the window of his office. His blue eyes curved under the semicircular lenses and he looked at the portrait hanging above his head with interest, then looked down at the lively venue.

Even Fawkes stuck his head out and watched the dragon-shaped fireworks that were spinning in the air and spewing red and green sparks with great interest.

Dumbledore waved at Felix through the window.

At this time, Professor McGonagall trotted over from the castle, looking at the messy scene in shock.

I don't know what the twins said to Professor McGonagall. She didn't deal with the various fireworks flying around the venue. She seemed to have acquiesced to it, and then she grabbed Fred and George's ears in one hand and returned to the castle.

"It's actually pretty." When Felix turned his head, Sirius said with a smile.

He got his revenge - the night before Valentine's Day, Felix insisted on dragging him to test a transfiguration spell, and then told him apologetically that the spell had not been broken yet. "Change my nose back!" Sirius yelled with a pig nose on his head, and as a result, he had to wear a big mask when he met Amelia, and he refused to take it off.

When Felix saw the twins again, it was in Professor McGonagall's office. The two of them lowered their heads quietly and were scolded, with drooping eyelids, looking dejected. But when they saw Felix walk in, they immediately raised their heads in surprise and winked at him.

The meaning seemed to be asking: Are you satisfied, professor?

"Violating school rules and intimidating students--" Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"They are having a good time!" Fred shouted aggrievedly, and the noisy background outside seemed to verify what he said.

Professor McGonagall's chest puffed up, "Playing tricks on the professor--"

"We want to give the professor a birthday surprise!" George shouted.

"Yes." Fred nodded continuously. They had a lot of experience in breaking school rules, and they could make a big deal out of a small one, even confinement.

"Minerva," Felix said softly. Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "They must be punished." "I totally agree," Felix said, and he put his hands on the twins' shoulders. The two of them laughed, and then they found that the professor was getting taller and taller.

No, they were getting shorter and shorter.

In the end, Felix was bent over like a big devil, showing a terrible smile, holding a shrunken twin in one hand.

"Oh, Felix!" Professor McGonagall shouted in surprise, "We never advocate corporal punishment of students--"

"Don't worry, it's not corporal punishment." Felix said, taking the opportunity to shake the two little people who were only one foot tall, shaking them dizzy. He raised his hands and said in a very intimidating way: "I heard that you have always wanted to leave unforgettable memories before graduation? It just happens to satisfy you."

"Professor, professor--" the shrunken Fred said dryly, "Do you think the scene is not big enough? We can refer to your opinion--"

Felix laughed angrily and stuffed them into the big pocket of his robe. The two struggled hard, "Ouch--it's too dark in there!" One of them complained, and tried to stick his head out stubbornly, but was coldly pressed back by Felix's backhand.

"I will teach them a good lesson, don't worry, it's all routine punishment." He said to Professor McGonagall, who was dumbfounded.

On the way back, Felix deliberately climbed up and down, and his pockets swayed back and forth. It took him twice as long as normal to get back to the office. When he pushed open the door, he could still see part of his bust of fireworks from the window-the thumbs up, and Felix was furious.

"You are so free, have you finished your homework?" He grabbed the two dizzy people from his pocket and stuffed them into two empty ink bottles.

"Finished." One of them said dizzy.

"Very good." Felix said maliciously, "I heard that your club is doing well and many people have joined?"

Fred, who had just pulled his butt out of the ink bottle, did not realize the danger was approaching, and said slowly: "Yes, the results are remarkable." George pushed him hard, and he sat back down. "

Ouch--" Fred waved his arms.

"'Defend the school rules to the death'? It sounds good, but you have to take the lead." Felix said vaguely and turned away.

"What will the professor do?" George asked uneasily.

"Who knows? Don't you think today's performance is a success? Including now, this is also part of the performance--" Fred said happily.

Valen jumped onto the table from the other side and looked at them and shook his head.

"Why do I feel that Valen is pitying us?" George said.

"Bang, bang."

Two feather pens taller than them fell on the table. George was startled. When he looked up, he saw more than a dozen quilt-like parchments flying over, and they jumped away quickly.

"You are punished to copy the school rules." Felix's distant voice said: "You are not allowed to change back until you finish copying."

As it turned out, he was wrong. The twins' thoughts were completely different from those of normal people. Their first reaction was not to be frustrated, but to look at each other excitedly, "I've wanted to do this for a long time!"

"It's settled, professor!"

Judging from their expressions, it seemed that this was not a punishment, but some kind of preferential treatment.

In the following time, the two of them trudged on the parchment with great interest, commenting on each other's "works" while writing.

"Your 'W' is so ugly."

"Why don't you look at the letter 'O'? It's so standard, your letters seem to be malnourished-"

"Nonsense!"

Felix stretched out his finger and released a whispering spell near them, and the office finally became quiet-if he ignored the excited shouts of students outside and the "whoosh" sound of fireworks burning.

In the end, he did not use magic to wipe off the fireworks above his head.

...

Ignoring the twins who were copying sentences while playing, Felix sat in the armchair of the sofa, twisting a strand of dark magic in his hand and looking at it carefully.

This strand of magic alone exuded a strong ominous atmosphere.

This was the magic that belonged to Voldemort that he extracted from Lucius' Dark Mark.

The more Felix studied it, the more he felt that this magic was too extreme. He even doubted whether Voldemort could still use those positive spells. But when he thought of his recent research on the Patronus Charm, he was not so sure. While he was

thinking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Felix waved his hand, and the door opened automatically. Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushed in. He was not surprised, maybe he was pleading for the twins. But what he didn't expect was that Draco was standing behind them.

After he came in, Felix was about to speak when the fifth person came in. It was Luna with a confused expression. She seemed to be lost. After seeing Harry and the others, she followed them on impulse. Then came Ginny, Neville, and then Daphne and Astoria sisters squeezed into the office, followed by Cedric and Cho Zhang. Felix was completely confused

. How did these people get together?

The people who had just come in were also a little dumbfounded, staring at the twins wrestling with each other on a pile of parchment on the desk. Because of the whispering spell, they hadn't realized what was happening.
