Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Following his movements, the back of the gold coin blurred, the patterns and patterns on it disappeared, and turned into a mirror-like reflective thing, Fred's face appeared on it, and he was looking at Ivan inside the gold coin with wide eyes .

"My God, how did you do that?!"

"I was inspired by the double-sided mirror, so that everyone can see each other and use this gold coin to communicate." Ai Wen said, "However, this function is still in the experiment, and it will not work if you are too far away. Only one-on-one."

There was a moment of silence, everyone looked at Ai Wen, speechless in shock.

If it is said that Hermione's Changing Curse just now made them feel very powerful and incredible, then Aiwen's improvement now has exceeded their imagination, and they don't even know how Aiwen did it...

This is not as simple as just a changing spell, the difficulty is definitely beyond the level of knowledge that can be learned in school.

If you have any relevant knowledge, you will know the preciousness of the double-sided mirror.

But for Aiwen, it's really nothing. He didn't use any spells, but alchemy.

The double-sided mirror was originally an alchemy product. Aiwen just made a lot of round mirrors the size of gold coins, then sneaked them into Gallon, and cast a hiding spell, and they would come out when needed.

Although it was not very troublesome for Ivan, the others were already shocked and speechless.

Everyone has become accustomed to Aiwen's strong strength, and he does things that they regard as miracles every now and then.

After everyone was amazed, they began to lower their heads and study the gold coins in their hands. This is a good thing.

In fact, Aiwen still has many functions that he wants to integrate into these Galleons, just like Muggle mobile phones, but in the end he failed.

The wizarding world is lagging behind in this regard, and Muggle electronic communication equipment has been developing rapidly.

In a few years, this kind of remote calling, video, and interactive functions will be developed, and Muggles can use mobile phones to do many things.

Ivan wondered if wizards would be equipped with a computer and mobile phone like Muggles and spend most of their time on it, gradually reducing direct communication between people and canceling the old tradition of owl mailing. The tradition still maintains the status quo, being left farther and farther behind by Muggles.

In terms of the integration of magic and technology, the magic world is definitely not fast enough to follow up, but wizards are not unacceptable.

As long as someone introduces it, everyone is still willing to try new things bravely, such as magic radio stations, some professional mechanical equipment, and so on.

In Aiwen's shop in Diagon Alley, the products produced by Muggles also attracted the attention of many wizards.

But most of them see more than they buy, and even if they buy, they buy secretly, not wanting to make people feel weird.

He felt that after the matter between the evil god and Voldemort was resolved, he could study this thing specifically and use technology to change the magic world.

Chapter 994 Upcoming Games

As an ancient system, magic, from the beginning of the Titans to the age of the gods, the fall of the gods, the subversion of the magic era, and the dark middle ages, has been developed until now. It has developed very comprehensively, and it is difficult to improve it.

Moreover, the overall level of magic is reversed, that is, the more modern society is, the lower the power of magic.

Unlike magic, Muggle technology is developing positively and will become more and more prosperous.

Especially in the next 20 years, Muggle science and technology will usher in a wave of rapid development, far changing the status quo.

Against such a background, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason for the wizarding world to refuse to embrace technology.

Even if Ivan doesn't do it, there will be other wizards who will do it. This is why Muggle-born wizards are getting higher and higher status, and gradually become the mainstream of the magic world, because they can bring about changes. This is a big development. trend.

With the introduction of technology, many ancient branches of magic will die faster, because the times do not need them.

For example, demons learn magic. Think about it, who needs dangerous demons for what in this day and age?

Unless you want to raise a succubus, shut yourself up in a small black room and do harmless things to humans and animals every day.

But there is no need to spend a lot of effort to learn demon magic for a succubus, and the succubus has a special body structure, and other aspects are just average. There is nothing to miss. Ivan thinks that Animagus Transformation, compound decoction and the like can fully meet the daily needs of most people, and kittens are actually quite good...

If you don't believe it, you can find a succubus or a kitten to compare with each other, and you will know what's going on!

There are also branches of magic that should be completely regulated, or even banned, because they are too dangerous.

For example, time magic, use the time converter to go back to the past and change the world, then everything on the timeline will become messy.

Think about it, a crazy wizard or Muggle brings a lot of modern technological knowledge back to the Middle Ages, and then imprisoned and enslaved a lot of witches who were persecuted by the church, and let them use magic to produce soap, silicone, abrasives, etc. , promote the development of science and technology, make weapons to conquer the world.

It would be terrible if this kind of thing happened!

All the people and things that everyone is familiar with now will change, especially in the background of the Middle Ages. The whole society is full of luxury, lust and moral depravity. With so many witches around, no matter how you think about it, it will not be that simple. The world It will also become unrecognizable as a result.

This kind of thing should be absolutely prohibited, and time and history should develop according to the original track.

However, apart from the special time converter before, Aiwen still doesn't know which time converter has such a great magic power that it can go back to thousands of years ago.

Even if he gets the Time Converter in the future, Ivan will never do that.

But he doesn't know now, some things are not as simple as you think, driven by the so-called "fate", in many cases people can't help themselves, including summoning witches to fight, which is very absurd when you think about it now.

In short, with the introduction of technology, many current magics are not abandoned or banned, but will also change accordingly.

For example, potion science, when the time comes, machines can be used to monitor and brew it to completely liberate wizards.

But what has changed more is the way of life of the entire wizarding world. The introduction of technology will make life more convenient. After all, apart from being able to use magic, wizards and Muggles are not fundamentally different, they are both human beings.

This is a major development trend that cannot be stopped.

Voldemort and the family of pure-blood wizards are now trying to stop all this, promoting the concept of pure-blood glory and supremacy of power, hoping to return to that dark age, but they still have the ambition to conquer the world mixed in it, so, No matter how you look at it, they will eventually fail.

If it wasn't for Voldemort and the evil god, Ivan would have already started making changes in this area!

In the room of Responsiveness, everyone is very satisfied with the contact item made by Ivan and Hermione.

"Did you know?" said Harry, looking at the coin in his hand, "it reminds me of the Death Eaters' scars, when Voldemort touches one of them, everyone's scars hurt and they know it's time to go to him .”

"Yeah!" Hermione said softly, "I was inspired by this in the first place, but the function of gold coins has far exceeded the scars of Death Eaters now, and you will find that Ivan and I decided to use metal instead of Member's skin!"

"Well, I like your approach, it's a great idea." Harry pocketed his Galleon with a smile, "I guess the only danger is that we might accidentally spend it. "

"Not much chance!" said Ron, looking at his counterfeit bill a little sadly. "I didn't have a real Galleon with it."

Together with these gold coins, Ivan recently made two more "Star Reaching" flying broomsticks.

Their progress was a bit slower. After all, after school started, everyone had a lot more things to do, and they had to have their own private time. He, Hermione, and Ginny could no longer stay in the room all day like before. Discuss the issue of length and thickness.

Angelina decided to give Fred and George the use of the two new broomsticks, and with the first Quidditch game of the season approaching, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, Gran Everyone on the Fundo team has also been absent from DA rallies in recent weeks, as Angelina insists on practicing almost every day.

Since the Quidditch Cup has not been played for a long time, people's interest and enthusiasm for this game have increased.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are very concerned about the result of the game, because they will be competing against these two teams in the coming year.

In addition, everyone also wants to see the performance of "Star Reaching", after all, this is a flying broom developed by Hogwarts students themselves.

Considering the broom made by Aiwen, if it is good enough, it may be promoted to the professional league. This is simply a big enough event to cause a sensation in the world.

In this situation, the atmosphere of competition between the two colleges is growing day by day.

Considering the past grievances between Gryffindor and Slytherin, this game is very interesting.

The friction among the students continued. Although Professor McGonagall and Snape pretended to be free and easy on the surface, they were secretly determined to see their side win.It can be seen how much Professor McGonagall wants them to beat Slytherin, she even exempted all the homework from the class with Gryffindor team members in the week before the game, which is beyond imagination.

"I think you've been busy enough this time," she said haughtily, and no one could believe their ears until she looked at Harry and Ron and said seriously, "Students, I'm used to watching Quidditch The cup is in my study, I really don't want to give it to Professor Snape, so please use the extra time to train, okay? We must win the game!"

Chapter 995 The Game Begins

At the same time, Snape's bias was also obvious.

He was always pre-renting the pitch for the Slytherins, making it difficult for the Gryffindors to find a place to practice.

He also turned a deaf ear to reports of Slytherins attempting to entrap Gryffindor players with magic in the corridors.When Alicia Spinnet was taken to the school hospital with her eyebrows growing over her eyes and mouth, Snape insisted that she had used the Hair Growth Charm herself, refusing to listen to the testimony of fourteen witnesses.

They had clearly seen the Slytherin keeper, Miles Bletch, bewitch her from behind in the library.

As a result, the first external activity of Dumbledore's Army was to protect the members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Gryffindor was getting better and better, and they hadn't lost to Slytherin since Harry joined the team.

They are full of confidence and believe that they will definitely win this upcoming game.

The only change and weakness this semester is probably Ron, but he has improved a lot compared to before.In one memorable training session, with one hand hanging from his broom, he kicked the Quaffle away from the goalposts so hard that it flew across the pitch and through the middle ring of the opponent's goal.

Everyone who saw this scene thought that this save was comparable to the one that Ireland's world-class goalkeeper Barry Ryan made against Poland's best Chaser Ladis Lozamoski not long ago. World-class level, Hogwarts' most exciting save in recent years, classic fantasy action.

Even Fred said that Ron might still make him and George proud, and they were seriously considering admitting to being related to him.

He told Ron that they'd been trying to deny it for over a decade.

But Ron has a problem, that is, he is too nervous and cares too much about the opinions of other people around him.

His biggest weakness is that he loses confidence when he makes a mistake, gets upset when he misses a ball and ends up conceding more.

The Slytherins quickly discovered this. After they could no longer attack the Gryffindor players at will, they changed their tactics and used words to attack. In fact, for the old players, this tactic was a bit more It doesn't work either.

Take Harry, for example, of course he's used to the bullshit they've been bragging about for more than four years.So something like "Hey Potter, I heard Warrington swear he's going to knock you off the broom Saturday" doesn't make him cringe at all, it just makes him smile.

And, he would reply, "Warrington's aim is so bad, I'd be more worried if he was going to hit the guy next to me."

And, by laughing back loudly, the person who intimidated him was not amused.

But Ron hadn't been through the relentless barrage of insults, taunts, and intimidation when some seventh-year Slytherins whispered to him in the hallway, "Is there a bed booked in the school hospital, Weasley? "

He didn't smile, but his face turned a little green.

And when Malfoy and others imitated Ron's poor performance when he missed the Quaffle and hit the ground directly and the previous few times, Ron's ears were red, his hands were shaking, and everything he held in his hands would drop.

All in all, a busy October came to a blustery end and November is upon us.

The weather is as cold as freezing iron, and every morning is a layer of hard frost, and the icy wind cuts hands and cheeks.

The sky and the ceiling of the Great Hall turned a pale blue-gray, and the mountains around Hogwarts were capped with snow.

The temperature in the castle had dropped so much that many students wore thick dragonskin gloves when they rested in the corridors between classes.

The morning of the game was sunny and cold, and Ron also entered the most tense stage.

That morning, Ron had been sitting on his bed, his eyes were glazed over, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely, as if he was accidentally hit by his own slug spell a long time ago, except that he didn't really spit out the slug.

Facing the encouragement from Ivan, Harry, Hermione and others, he just kept nodding numbly.

"Ron, are you all right?"

Ron nodded, but said nothing.

"Don't be too nervous, you just have to show the performance in training."

Ron nodded again, staring at the asterisk in his hand.

"You need some breakfast!"

Ron nodded, stood up stiffly, and followed them out.

Several people looked at each other. This state is not good. I can only hope that he will perform better after playing.

When they entered the auditorium, it was rapidly filling up, the voices were louder than usual, and the atmosphere was more enthusiastic.

As they passed the Slytherin table, they heard a commotion.

There, almost everyone wore a crown-shaped silver badge over a silver and green scarf and hat.

"What's on those badges?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, I can't see clearly, probably imitating what we did before. Go, don't stand here." Hermione said.

In the previous year, when the Gryffindor team played against the Slytherin team, Ivan, Hermione, and Sirius made nearly a thousand badges and slogans for free and distributed them to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Raffles. The students of Winclaw College, as well as those hot air balloons and promotional posters floating outside the stadium, made the whole venue become the home of the Gryffindor team, leaving a deep impression on people.

In terms of momentum, the Slytherin team had already lost at that time.

They were greeted warmly at the Gryffindor table, where everyone wore gold and red scarves and hats.

Angelina asked them to put the Firebolt and Star Reacher in the center of the long table, so that everyone could clearly see the three brooms.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Slytherin, but instead of cheering Ron up, it seemed to suck the last bit of morale from him.

He slumped down on the nearest stool, as if his severed meal was in front of him.

"I must be crazy to do that!" he whispered hoarsely. "Crazy!"

"Don't talk nonsense," said Harry sternly, handing him some cereal. "You're fine, it's normal to be nervous."

"No, I'm a piece of shit!" said Ron. "I'm useless. I can't play. What was I thinking?"

"Don't be discouraged," said Harry firmly, "that save with your foot that day, even Fred and George said it was brilliant."

Ron looked at Harry in pain, then his eyes turned to the cheering people.

"It was an accident!" he whispered pitifully, expressing his heart and the actual situation, "it hit itself, I slipped off the broom, you didn't see it, I was trying to climb Going up, I happened to kick the Quaffle."

"Oh!" Harry quickly recovered from this disappointing accident, "A few more accidents like this and we've won, haven't we?"

"Yeah, Ron, you can do it, you have no technical problems!"
