A Hogwarts dissertation guide

"But it belongs to my father," Harry said. "Dumbledore just gave it to me. He would not spend so much money on me. There is no way he would give such a valuable thing to a student."

"That's why he didn't say it was a gift from him!" Ron said, "otherwise the guys from Slytherin House would say he was biased."

"I can't believe it," said Harry, "but I think I'd better not use this broom of unknown origin -"

"This is a Firebolt!" Ron stroked the broom with one hand and said, "This is the broom that many people dream of?"

"But I don't know who gave it to me. What if someone casts black magic on me?" Harry looked a little worried. "I'm not lucky enough to survive every time." His face turned pale. "After that experience, I I don’t want to experience it again.”

"Same." Ron lay down on Harry's bed at this time, "Maybe I can show this broom to Professor McGonagall - well, why do I talk so much like Hermione?"

Harry turned his head and looked at Ron. The two looked at each other and chuckled.Unconsciously, they were thinking as much as Hermione.

If they had been before, the first moment they received the Firebolt, they would have taken it out to the field to take a look at it, instead of worrying about whether it was safe.Of course, it may also be because Harry had received a Firebolt the day before, and it was a gift from Professor Snape.

There's no way he would harm a student, right?

They decided to send the second Firebolt to Professor McGonagall for inspection to make sure it was not cast with any black magic before they considered how to use it.

But both Harry and Ron were heartbroken: disassembling a brand-new Firebolt was tantamount to criminal damage.But they all determined that it was necessary to do this, and this was the best result.

After New Year's Day, other students began to return to school, and Gryffindor Tower became crowded and noisy again. Harry and Ron were happy because their good friend Hermione was back.

It's just that Hermione seemed a little different after she came back from vacation. She still looked the same, and she still had several books in her arms, but she didn't seem to have as much of a bookish temperament.

This surprised Harry and Ron.

"What did you do during the holidays that seemed to have a big impact on you?" Ron asked.

Hermione straightened her long chestnut hair, "It's just some simple paperwork, but it gave me a new understanding of some things."

Ron and Harry wanted to ask more questions, but Hermione left in a hurry. She had to find Edward. At Riddle's base camp, she had some questions.

"Teacher, how did you know that Tom Riddle would take a different path from Voldemort?" Hermione asked, standing in front of the desk looking at the figure sitting on the chair, "How did you and Professor Dumbledore To ensure this?"

"Oh, it's not that difficult, Hermione." Edward smiled kindly. He was happy to see the changes in Hermione. She began to have her own ideas, instead of just following books and thinking like before. Following others' instructions, she began to question authority.

This is really a good thing!

Much better than that guy Lockhart.

"But you know what he is doing...I can feel...he is getting stronger...I don't know if this is a good thing, but I think I should tell you." Hermione said with a complex expression. He took out the diary he held in his arm and put it on the table. "I don't know why he did this, but it must have a necessary meaning, otherwise he would never care about Muggles."

Edward took the book handed over by Hermione. It was not too thick, and the cover was bare without any writing. He opened it casually, and Hermione's beautiful self appeared in front of Edward.

"I will take a closer look." Edward said, closing the diary and putting it aside. He slowly stood up, "Hermione, Riddle is conducting a very interesting research. If he succeeds, I think Not even Dumbledore can kill him again."

"Then we should stop him, shouldn't we?" Hermione said hurriedly.

"No, no, no, Hermione, this is a very interesting experiment." Edward waved his hand, "It always requires a lot of failures before success... Tom Riddle... Is there any better test subject than the Dark Lord? Woolen cloth?"

"You knew this all along?"

"Of course, otherwise do you think he can come up with such a good idea?" Edward chuckled, "I just gave him a little hint, and he thought of it. I have to admit that he is indeed a very talented wizard."

"So what do you mean?" Hermione asked.

"You don't have to worry too much about this, you just need to be the same as before," Edward said. He reached into his pocket and handed a delicate pocket watch to Hermione's hand. "This is for you. The key is It might be able to help at some point.”

"What does it do?"

"Reflecting a killing curse or blocking a few offensive spells is just a gadget." Edward said and hung the pocket watch around Hermione's neck. "Riddle will not take action against you until his plan succeeds. ——Of course, I don’t think he is so lucky——he won’t take action against you.”

"What if he succeeds?" Hermione asked. She looked down at the pocket watch. She could barely make out a few magic patterns on it, but when combined together, she didn't know their function at all.

"Then it's a success. He deserves it." Edward said nonchalantly, "But he gave us a lot of experimental data."

"By the way, Professor, Harry received two Firebolts." Hermione said quickly as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Two Firebolts?" Edward thought for a moment and said quickly: "Yes, you still lack a suitable broom. I will notify them to customize one for you."

"Hmm... hmm?" Hermione's eyes widened, "Are they also the teacher's property?"

"It just happened that a friend had a goblin studio, and they happened to be responsible for the production of Firebolts." Edward said lightly. That friend was undoubtedly Nick Flamel. After the first goblin rebellion in the seventeenth century, Nick Flamel took advantage of the opportunity. Obtained ownership of a group of goblins - as the defeated goblins, they completely lost their human rights.

In the following decades, Nick Flamel prospered for the French Quidditch cause-mainly because there were too few entertainment projects in the wizarding world-he used his alchemical knowledge combined with goblin craftsmanship to create the first generation of fire. Crossbow--of course, that wasn't the name at first.

Hundreds of years have passed, and few people still remember that Nick Flamel was the producer of the Firebolt. They only know that the Firebolt represents the highest craftsmanship.
