Chapter 612 The Rolling Flood

The next day, Sirius, Lupin and others stayed at the Burrow to celebrate Harry's birthday, and then turned around to busy themselves with their own things. Before leaving, Lupin told Harry mysteriously that something big would happen tomorrow. Harry immediately thought of what Hermione had told him.

"Future World has a big event coming up soon... The professor will definitely be there..."

On the first day of August, the Daily Prophet published a bombshell.

Future World has successfully solved the problem of the Squibs' spellcasting!

In just two days, the concepts of exclusive wands and magic frequency became widely known. In the newspaper, the headquarters of Future World announced that it would be open to the public for a week, with a new product introduced every day. However, the exclusive wand was undoubtedly the protagonist, attracting all the attention.

On weekends, the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Sword Castle was surrounded by crowds.

The center of the hall was temporarily transformed into a gorgeous exhibition stand. People gathered around the exhibition stand in three circles. People were crowded together and were surprised to find that the business newcomer who had previously boldly released a series of prank products related to the mysterious man was standing on the stage, acting as a commentator.

Felix and Lupin stood in a corner and talked in a low voice.

"Are you confident in entrusting such an important matter to them?" Felix asked with a strange look on his face.

"I taught them for a year after all, and we barely worked together. They know what they are doing," Lupin said with a smile, but seeing that the twins began to clear their throats in a pretentious manner, he hesitated a little and said, "Probably..." "

They are good at livening up the atmosphere." Felix said pertinently. The two looked at the stage.

"Good morning, boys!"

"--And girls."

"Yes, that's right, there are girls..."

Fred and George, wearing formal suits, looked enthusiastically at the group of wizards and squibs below the stage, whose average age was over 40 years old. Many of them had gray hair, vicissitudes of life, and wrinkles on their faces.

These people stared at the twins who were asking and answering their own questions and cooperating with each other. They were a little unsure whether they had come to the wrong place. Perhaps two burly men would come up at this time, take them away, and tell them that what just happened was an accident?

Fred pointed to the top of his head, "Don't think we are nagging. Today's speech is being released simultaneously through the radio. Also, do you see those cute little bugs above? They have experienced many battles and once took pictures of the charming and embarrassing moments of the warriors during the championship..."

People looked up and looked at the blue Billywig worms hanging in the air, flapping their transparent wings, and were a little scared of the thin pincers on their buttocks .

"...Some people may ask, what is the difference between a special wand and a magic wand? Good question!"

"The two of us will answer it for everyone now."

"What I admire most from childhood to adulthood is their enthusiasm." Ron said.

"Oh, don't interrupt," Molly said, her eyes fixed on the stage. She whispered, "Look how handsome they are."

The entire Weasley family was present, even Percy had asked for leave, and Harry and Sirius stood with them. Not far away was the Granger family, whose position was slightly off to the side, making it easier for Hermione to popularize relevant knowledge to her parents.

"In order not to confuse the concepts," Fred continued, "we must first clarify one thing. There is no unicorn hair, dragon heartstring, or anything else hidden inside the exclusive wand. It does not have such a thing as a wand core--"

"But it does not mean that there is no technical content. Ladies and gentlemen, I can assure you, see that row of small gems? They are not for decoration or to show personal taste. Those little guys play a big role."

"A gem the size of a fingernail combines protective spells, magic runes and internal functional spells. You can fully imagine their value."

"The gems on the exclusive wands are divided into three types according to their functions--"

"First, it is used to capture specific, weak magic frequencies and amplify them; the specific principles have been discussed many times in the newspapers in the past two days, so I will not elaborate here." "Second

, it is used to store magic power instead of consuming it when wizards cast spells; just like the batteries used by Muggles to store energy-I saw it in comic books, I don’t know if this analogy is correct? Can anyone understand... I think they are similar. In addition, these magic powers can only be stimulated by specific magic frequencies."

"That goes with the first one," said George.

"Yes, the third type of gem has a functional spell built into it; these little gadgets with specific spells may store a cleaning spell, or a killing spell, who knows? I'm kidding..."

"They are so brave." Harry said in astonishment. Looking around, many people were horrified. Even Hermione stopped moving her mouth and looked at Fred and George in surprise, as if they had silently recited a silencing spell.

"Is this the first day you met them?" Ron muttered softly.

"The wands currently released by Future World are between ten and fourteen inches. Compared with ordinary wands, they also have a grip and a wand body, but with an extra row of gems. These gems are connected through the wand material using alchemical techniques, and the maximum number of gems is nine."

"Yes, it's not easy to squeeze these things together. But we can look forward to the follow-up products. I know that Muggles have a key communicator. Just imagine, dialing a button and triggering a magic..."

"Next, I will demonstrate several products for you. Let's go one by one. Please welcome my assistant, Lee Jordan." Fred stretched out a hand in a pretentious manner. A dark-skinned boy came on stage. He had dense braids on his head.

"Thank you, you can also call me by my code name - Lao Jiang." Lee Jordan said excitedly.

"Are we in a secret underground organization?" Fred asked with interest: "Then what name should I give it?"

"How about Mouse?" Lee Jordan asked.

"No way - I hope it's the old sword."

George took over the conversation -

"The one in Lee's hand is a life-type wand, which can meet most daily needs, such as washing clothes, cooking, moving things, and driving away the goblins in the garden - let me say that this is something we strongly requested to add. If you have an open mind, you will find that it can drive away more than just goblins."

Lee Jordan waved his wand, and the gems lit up. He waved his wand and directed a row of magic puppets to dance majestically and tap-dance past, and then let a heavy wooden box follow him and walk around the booth.

"It's a bit difficult. This is the result of my two days of practice." Lee Jordan said.

...

"Specialized wands for combat and medical purposes for the Ministry of Magic's Aurors and Strikemen. They are not open to the public for the time being."

"Comprehensive wands that take into account multiple aspects and have a built-in defensive disarming spell. I personally think that they are not sophisticated... Ah, I saw someone waving at me. I hope he is not going to hit me on the stage... Well, let's warmly welcome Mr. Felix Hepp, the owner of Future World!"

Felix walked onto the stage with a gentle smile on his face.

"Of course, the reason I came up here is not because of Fred and George's wonderful speeches. As their professor at school, I personally don't have the habit of giving them detention, deducting house points, copying homework, or school rules, or asking them to copy the sentence 'We swear to defend school rules to the death' - oh, that sentence is their new motto, which is very popular in school..." He spread his hands and said regretfully: "Because they have graduated."

The audience laughed.

"Really? He looks quite skilled..." Mr. Granger asked his daughter.

"Oh, the professor is lazy, he just talks." Hermione said casually.

"I have a more urgent reason to come on stage."

"This is what I thought of when I was standing on the stage. It was inspired by a user who tried out the exclusive wand. From this point of view alone, my goal has been achieved, and the efforts of all members of the Future World Company have also been achieved. We hope to gather the wisdom of more people, not just the simple interactive method of 'we provide products, you choose products'."

"I mentioned inspiration - then next I will share with you the new idea I just thought of, I would like to call it of great significance." Felix said, "Well - it happened suddenly, I need a special wand for demonstration and modification."

"Here, Professor!" Fred shouted, throwing up a wand.

Felix stared at it spinning in the air and finally hanging in front of him, motionless.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Reporters raised their cameras, ready to record the important scene. Lupin waved his wand, and the alchemical device that looked like a Billywig worm above everyone's head dropped slightly.

Felix waited for two seconds, stretched out his hand and flicked the exclusive magic wand in front of him. A star-like gem shone brightly. He watched silently. Then, the wine-red ruby ​​fell off the wand, followed by the second, the third... Two or three minutes later, he showed everyone the magic wand in his hand, with only two gems left on it.

The other six gems of different colors winked mischievously, and were gathered in Felix's palm and put into his pocket.

He stood up straight, facing the audience and spoke calmly.

"Everyone, magic is wonderful and strange, and should not be constrained."

"What I am doing now is to add amplification circuits and magic storage circuits based on the traditional magic wand - of course, the one in my hand lacks a suitable wand core, so what you see is just a semi-finished product, but it is completely sufficient for me and does not affect the following demonstration."

"If those of you who have obstacles in casting spells have the dream of casting spells freely and do not mind making extraordinary efforts... then the magic wand I introduce will undoubtedly meet your expectations."

"Mr. Hep, can you tell us more about it?" A reporter smelled the smell of heavy news and asked boldly.

Well, it was indeed bold. In fact, even Felix himself did not know, but one thing really happened: everyone was adapting to how to coexist with Felix Hep. The local wizards in the UK were particularly touched: a strong man who was comparable to Dumbledore and Voldemort, and might not be inferior to the above two, could not be ignored by anyone, and this strong man seemed to follow the path of the former headmaster Dumbledore, and had no concern for politics.

I don't know how many people were secretly glad in their hearts.

Especially in the past year, several consecutive super-standard duels have made the public realize the unparalleled oppression and dominance that a wizard standing at the top of the world can exert. It can be said that with such a person, the British magic world can rest assured for one or two hundred years without worrying about any domestic or foreign dangers.

In fact, Felix doesn't need to do anything, as long as he is still alive, it is enough.

According to this trend, Mr. Hep is expected to enjoy the honors and treatment that Dumbledore once enjoyed. For example, if Ms. Bones plans to retire (although it is unlikely in the short term), the first person she considers as a successor is not in the Ministry of Magic, but a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The same is true internationally.

Dumbledore took the initiative to resign from the position of President of the International Confederation of Wizards. It must be said that this is a huge loss, which makes countless people sigh, but they also believe that this position may not fall on Felix Hepp's head in ten or twenty years.

Although he may refuse...

Many wizards pray in their hearts that this young wizard will not be too willful.

Facing the reporter's question, Felix thought for a while and said: "Compared with the exclusive wand released before, it lacks the built-in magic part, which is inconvenient for users, but on the other hand, it also makes the product free from the constraints at the beginning. It will have unlimited potential like the first wand carefully selected by the young wizards."

"... This product is the next blockbuster product to be developed and improved by Future World Company."

Felix still left some room. In fact, he has cleared all the technical difficulties, and even the final product has come out-it just has nothing to do with him. It was made by old man Grindelwald.

With the proud character of the old man, he would never allow himself to use a low-quality and restricted wand.

"For the next plan, Future World will consider joining hands with the leaders of the wand world, such as Mr. Ollivander, to jointly explore a new field. I firmly believe that this will create another innovation in the history of wands. Because if this move is successful, Squibs can also learn magic on their own like the young wizards who have just entered school, without any restrictions on casting spells!"

People were whispering to each other, and the scene was flooded with heated discussions. Many employees of Future World ran out to check the situation, especially on the third floor, where a row of small heads of house elves were crowded from the railings. They were wearing neat and clean clothes, and they were full of energy and looked particularly conspicuous. Some reporters

with a keen sense of smell secretly took a few photos and even considered applying to stay in the company for a visit and interview after the exhibition.

The noise gradually subsided, and a trembling old wizard stood out, trembling, and couldn't even hold the cane in his hand steadily. Felix seriously suspected that even if he got his own wand, he might not be able to use it for a few years.

"Sir, do you have any questions?"

"I... I do," the old wizard tried to open his eyes wide and asked expectantly, "If what you said is true, that Squibs can learn magic independently, does it mean... does it mean that Squib children also have the opportunity to go to Hogwarts to study?"

Everyone held their breath, some with serious and solemn faces, or with eagerness and hope.

Felix hesitated.

He didn't like to say anything, and he had many excuses, such as this type of wand had not yet been finalized, or such issues were not within the scope of discussion and were not his responsibility at all; he could also explain to the old man the practical problems of Squibs' admission to school, that they might be discriminated against and ridiculed, that it was a serious matter and that a decision could not be made easily, and even the consumption of magic power brought about by the admission of a large number of Squibs was a problem... In short, it involved all aspects.

"There is a chance." But he said at last.

Felix estimated optimistically that at least there wouldn't be too many people in the first few years, and as for the future... at worst he could set up another magic school, and the choice of the principal would be pushed to Remus.

At the end of the press conference, Felix looked up at the huge ice-crystal chandelier, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: in another ten or twenty years, would he become the uncrowned king of the magic world? Tsk, he had already foreseen that the rolling torrent and endless troubles were coming and were about to swallow him up.

We must not let this happen!

Felix made up his mind that he must find a few more tools in Hogwarts... ahem, like-minded partners. Thinking of this, Grindelwald is his direct competitor - someone has always suspected that Grindelwald, in addition to wanting to take a breath of fresh air during his imprisonment and observe the changes in his mouth, has another hidden purpose, which is to find a successor for himself.

The advantage cannot be taken by the old man. Felix is ​​ready to fight.

It is foreseeable that Hogwarts will not be too peaceful in the new school year.

I wanted to write more, but this plot is relatively complete and the number of words is about the same, so I posted it. The author will write more when he has nothing to do at night, and try to adjust the update time to a normal level.
