All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 292 Done, New Year’s performance

On the second day of the Christmas vacation, December 26th, the second floor of the White Tower had been transformed from a biological cultivation room to a printing press. The wizards were doing complicated work here, but the scene seemed orderly.

Snape poured a pot of ready-made potion into the cultivation pool. Under the stimulation of the medicine, the main brain became active and excited, beating like a heart, and continuously pumped out silver-blue smoke, which spread over the pool. Pile up into clouds.

These smokes are magical polymers that carry thinking strings, and will be used to make ink, and the text and graphics drawn with this special ink will dry up and disappear soon, and then the information will be automatically synchronized to the memory area of ​​the main brain.

In this way, Hogwarts' rich collection of magical books can be included in the mastermind database.

This step is equivalent to the Internet era of Muggles, digitizing paper books for easy access, dissemination, and storage.If there is any new information in the future, it can also be uploaded to the main brain by this method, which is equivalent to a network cloud disk.

Professor McGonagall used a wide-mouthed glass bottle to collect the silver fume, and the smoke collected at the bottom of the bottle to form a viscous liquid with a texture similar to mercury, and its color was brighter than mercury, as if a huge amount of glitter had been mixed in.Whenever a half-liter bottle of memory substance is collected, the next production process can be carried out.

Hagrid kept a lot of soundbirds. This kind of petite and harmless magical creature will not sing in its life. When it dies, it will call out all the sounds it has heard in life. Its feathers are often used to make Veritaserum and Memories.Grinding the blue feathers of the soundless bird into powder and mixing it in the memory substance can slow down the natural volatilization of the memory substance and greatly increase the shelf life.

Finally, the processed memory material is mixed into the pigment to form a special ink.

There are several rows of old-fashioned printing machines on the open space on the second floor, which run automatically after being enchanted, and copy the magic books around the clock. It is estimated that it will only take three days to copy the entire Hogwarts library.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout acted as book porters, carrying stacks of books, running back and forth between the main castle and the White Tower. They walked together, talking and laughing, seeming to be able to do a job with ease .

At the same time, James is also making the "Spellcaster's Introductory Manual". This book is equivalent to a personal terminal connected to the server, which can upload and download data, and communicate with the main brain. There is also mutual induction between the "Manuals". In terms of function, there is nothing wrong with a parchment mobile phone called the magic world.

James's alchemy skills are quite good, and he is very handy when making the "Manual". He is not only responsible for hardware manufacturing, but also software development, and often discusses adding functions to the "Manual" with everyone.

The most basic use of the finished "Handbook" is to replace traditional textbooks. Students can easily access teaching materials in the handbook, and no longer need to run around holding a stack of books.

The second is that you can communicate with Helena Ravenclaw in the main brain by writing, which is similar to Voldemort's diary Horcrux.Ms. Helena has a very personality. If she can make her happy, she will not hesitate to answer many questions. If she is upset, she will just throw out a list of books and let the students look up the materials for self-study.

James made a map of the Marauder when he was a student. He added this part of his creativity to the "Handbook", adding a map of Hogwarts, which can display the real-time location of the holder of the "Handbook" and set the navigation location. The route guidance will be displayed in the map book, so you don't have to worry about getting lost in this complicated magic school.

James was very considerate in keeping the school's secret passageway a secret, a bottom-of-the-box prank secret that wouldn't be interesting if everyone knew about it.

Lind proposed a ranking system, which was a good idea. Professors were happy to see students working hard for personal honors. College points ranking, study time ranking, Quidditch score ranking, etc. are bound to trigger a craze in the college.

Professor McGonagall disagreed with the ranking of duels, thinking that this was to encourage brawls among students, but the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts insisted on promoting it, and he guaranteed that no student would die in a duel if he was there.Final duel rankings are still in place, but only students in fifth grade and above are allowed to enter the leaderboard.

There are two weeks of Christmas vacation, and these busy professors regard this period as a happy and fulfilling time in their lives. They have completed the preliminary work of building the main brain, and then only need to distribute the "Manual", and then there will be long-term server maintenance and user experience improvement.

It can be said that the main workload is over, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, take advantage of the last few days of the holiday to catch up on sleep and prepare to return to campus life.

On the occasion of the new year, a sumptuous banquet was held in the auditorium, both to celebrate the festival and to celebrate the completion. Although the school was empty, everyone still managed to enjoy the festival.

Dumbledore called all the house elves in Hogwarts to the Great Hall and set aside a long table for them.

The principal raised a toast and said, "Friends, we gather together to bid farewell to a fulfilling and wonderful year. Thank you to all the teachers at Hogwarts. Your hard work has cultivated the next generation of the wizarding world. They will be better than those of our generation." The old guy is smarter and knows more knowledge. In addition, on behalf of all the teachers and students, I would like to express my special thanks to the hard-working elf gentlemen and ladies. Thank you for your magic and labor in preparing three meals a day for us."

The house elves were flattered, and they were so excited that they immediately looked like crying, but gradually they were coaxed into laughing by the festive atmosphere.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner together. The long table was piled with crispy fried pork chops, rich red wine braised beef, roasted pigeon with crispy bones and tender meat, roasted suckling pig with apples in its mouth, and various traditional British potato dishes. There is unlimited pumpkin juice, butter beer, and a variety of drinks specially provided for adults.

After the banquet was over, the professors came up with an impromptu performance of the play "The Fountain of Good Luck", which tells the story of an unlucky Muggle and three unlucky witches who went to find the legendary Fountain of Good Luck. It comes from the well-known "Beedle the Poet". Story Collection". Dumbledore plays the hapless Muggle, and the three female professors are ready-made.

Linde sat in the audience and watched the show with the three students who stayed in school, all the house elves, and the ghosts who came later.

Sir Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, sat next to Lynd, who was impressed by the performance and told a story about the former headmaster's time in office.

"Many years ago, Professor Herbert, who taught Herbology, planned to adapt "The Fountain of Good Luck" into a pantomime and put it on the Christmas stage. The result of their performance at Hogwarts was that the hospital was overcrowded! Because teaching magical creatures Professor Kettleburn from the Conservation Class put a fire-ash snake that had been casted by a swelling spell as a prop. Then the fire-ash snake exploded! Hahaha, Merlin's smelly socks, the whole auditorium was about to burn. , and two actresses were fighting over the male partner, and the scene was a mess... Anyway, since then, pantomime performances have been banned in schools."

"But now they're doing plays, aren't they?" A fifth-year Slytherin student shrugged, watching Lind's expression carefully.

"It's a play, yes, but since that performance accident, the story of "The Fountain of Good Luck" has never been put on the stage. It's a pity. Dumbledore was also a member of the crew back then. He had just entered the school not long ago and taught The magic is transformation, and he has become so old in the blink of an eye."

The transfer students watched the professors on the stage performing hard.

Dumbledore was wearing armor, holding an iron sword, and looked like a knight. The three female professors also made themselves beautiful and imitated the words, actions and costumes of medieval witches. Snape, who was in charge of the scenery, was hiding in the background, with only his face sticking out of the curtain. Matching his gloomy expression from staying up too late, it was like a waxy dead head hanging in mid-air. Hagrid put a leather sheath made of a large earthworm on himself, lay on the ground and stumbling around while saying his lines, only one sentence in total, and talked back three or four times.

These old guys were probably drunk and did not maintain a dignified demeanor at all. When performing, it was difficult for each of them to maintain a straight expression. Laughter was common, but in terms of the effect of the show, it was not at all It was passable, but the ghosts, elves and students in the audience were all enjoying themselves.

The Ghost of the Fat Monk said: ""The Fountain of Good Luck" is undoubtedly my favorite story, but many wizard parents feel that it promotes the incorrect idea of ​​being friendly to Muggles, and they are clamoring to remove this story from the Hogwarts books. Delete it from the library. This is simply intolerable. Fortunately, Dumbledore stuck to his guns and did not let them succeed."

The Slytherin hesitated and looked unhappy, the Hufflepuff nodded in agreement, and finally the senior Ravenclaw shrugged noncommittally.

The show came to a successful conclusion in a cheerful and imperfect way.

At the end of the story, the three witches gave up the opportunity to bathe in the Fountain of Good Luck to the Muggles because their problems had been solved on the way. The Muggles fell in love with one of the witches and confessed their love on the spot, and the four of them ended up together. Leave. Professor Geller, who was responsible for the narration, stood on the sidelines and said loudly: "The four people lived very happily for a long time, but none of them knew and never doubted that in fact, the water of the Good Luck Fountain has no magic at all. So, my friend People, the real magic is not in the mysterious spring water, but in people’s kind hearts.”

A Dark Lord who advocated the rule of wizards actually preached peace and friendship. Lind felt that this scene was more magical than the entire "Fountain of Good Luck" story.

Everyone in the audience applauded vigorously, regardless of how well the temporary crew performed, those actors are principals and professors!

The laughter lasted until midnight. On the occasion of the New Year, everyone went to the open space outside the castle to set off fireworks, bringing colorful warmth to the deserted Hogwarts.

"Happy New Year!" Hagrid shouted.

"Happy New Year, Professor." Lind smiled at Dumbledore.

"Go back and have a good rest. We'll see you after dawn." The drunken Professor Flitwick muttered.

"Good night...good night, friends."

When they returned to the castle, the magnificent Falbert fireworks were still hovering in the night sky, like a hundred glowing birds flying under the clouds.
