"Sorry to bother you two!" A middle-aged wizard glanced at them and hurried past.
Today's young people are still open, kissing in Diagon Alley in broad daylight...
Hermione pushed Aiwen away, her eyes were foggy, her face was flushed red, tiny beads of sweat leaked from the tip of her nose, her lips were slightly parted, revealing a fresh and moist tongue, pure and charming, that aroused love The look made Ivan couldn't help continuing.
"Don't worry about him, let's continue!" Ivan said softly, trying to kiss Hermione again.
His lips had already touched Hermione, and Hermione touched him hard, and hurriedly separated.
She doesn't intend not to give Aiwen a chance, it's enough so far, and I can't let Aiwen's tongue come in...
She wasn't ready yet, besides, she was in the crowded Diagon Alley, what if she was discovered again?
Hermione didn't want the photo of herself and Ivan kissing to become the headline on the front page of "Daily Prophet" tomorrow.
"It's almost there!" Hermione said in a panic, her breathing was messy. "There is still a chance in the future. We have to hurry to buy clothes now."
Aiwen could only nod his head, the appearance of that middle-aged wizard was too inopportune.
Just a little bit, he could enter Hermione's body...
Looking at Hermione's current appearance, he knew that he could only look for another chance, anyway, there would be a long way to go.
Generally speaking, everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will be easier after the first time.
There may be less opportunities at 12 Grimmauld Place, but there are many secret passages, secret rooms, bushes, and groves back to Hogwarts.
At that time, no one will disturb absolutely, and it can be carried on to the end.
Accompanying Hermione to the Muggle mall to buy underwear was not what Ivan imagined.
In the shopping mall, he was stunned by the dazzling array of styles, including all kinds of underwear styles.
Aiwen saw that there were black silk mesh, red lace, and translucent, all kinds of interesting styles...
Hermione didn't look at those flirtatious underwear, she directly chose a few sets of relatively conservative and cute styles, and walked into the fitting room.
Judging by her appearance, it seems that she does not intend to consult Aiwen's opinion.
Ai Wen stared blankly at the closed door in front of him, and then considered whether to go in and take a peek.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of the picture of him kissing Hermione just now, and that feeling...
The opportunity was fleeting, and Hermione obviously picked up the pace.
After a few minutes, she came out, put a few selected clothes into her pockets, and went to check out.
……
This incident passed between the two of them like a fleeting moment, and no one mentioned it again, and Ivan didn't find a chance.
In the next few days, they lived an unusually fulfilling life.
Everyone assisted Mrs. Weasley and Kreacher to clean this old house thoroughly, and packed up all the dangerous things. Kreacher always secretly took some things out of the bag and stuffed them to Ivan.
Judging by his appearance, his obedience to Ivan even surpassed that of Sirius.
In the eyes of this house elf, only a wizard who likes these dark magic items is a truly qualified wizard.
He even kept talking about it, but it's a pity that Ivan doesn't have the blood of the Black family, otherwise he would definitely be liked by the old lady.
Ivan doubts that Mrs. Black will like her. Her portraits now only use mudbloods, scum and scum to describe herself. Kreacher probably wants to explain to her that Master Regulus was killed by the Dark Lord. They And Voldemort are enemies.
But Mrs. Black's portrait doesn't care about that at all, it's always there screaming.
In the end, Ivan had to order him not to go near the portrait.
This didn't stop much, the doorbell would ring several times a day, and Sirius' mother would be alarmed at the sound of the bell.
Harry and the others tried their best to eavesdrop on the visitor's conversation, but each time they could only catch a few glances and hear a few scattered conversations before being chased away by Mrs. Weasley. They didn't get much useful information at all.
During this period, they were only allowed to talk with them for a while when Professor McGonagall, the professor of transfiguration, came.
Professor McGonagall looked as serious as ever, and she looked very weird in Muggle clothes and coats.
Like the other visitors, she seemed very busy, coming and going quickly.
Sometimes, though, visitors stay to help.
Tonks spent an unforgettable afternoon with everyone. They found a vicious old ghoul in an upstairs toilet, and Lupine found time to help them fix a grandfather clock. Chung had somehow picked up a nasty habit of firing blunt screws at passers-by.
It took Mundungus three days to buy all the broomstick materials Ivan needed.
In addition, he also slightly restored his image in Mrs. Weasley's mind.
He rescued Ron from a set of outlandish purple robes, which clung to him and strangled him when Ron took them out of the closet.
Chapter 877 Design of the Broomstick
The design of the new broomstick is also being carried out step by step, and Aiwen assigns the tasks to the big guys.
They first disassembled all the broomsticks they could find, compared the books they bought, studied their operating principles and excellent design concepts, and drew drawings. All these broom parts were piled up in the small living room that had just been cleared out on the second floor.
In less than a week, they had taken hundreds of broomsticks apart.
In the words of Fred and George, this is probably the most exciting thing they have ever done in their lives.
At the same time, it is also the most prodigal thing.
These flying broomsticks are not cheap and have a very high collection value.
After being disassembled by them, especially if Aiwen wants to open the core part for research, the value is greatly reduced.
Although they will be assembled back later, many sophisticated devices and magic are still affected and lose their effect.
In order to prevent being researched by peers, many brooms are cast with the magic of tearing apart and destroying.
These magics are cast on various parts of the broom, with different effects and touch methods.
In the beginning, Aiwen tried to crack a part, but the failure rate was high. When they opened it, there was nothing left inside.
Although they asked Mad-Eye to help him use his magic eyes to reveal all the abnormal parts of the magic inside, the success rate of dismantling the core parts was still very low. It was not until Bill joined the research team. changed.
Because of his many years of work experience, he is very experienced in unraveling spells and has a lot of research on flying broomsticks.
He helped Aiwen cleverly crack or avoid those magics, and disassembled the core part of the broomstick.
Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without Bill's help.
In order to fight Voldemort more conveniently, Bill has applied to be transferred back to work in the British headquarters.
After Zuo Sai's incident, the Gringotts goblins in Egypt probably wanted him to leave quickly, so his application was quickly approved. He didn't get a task from the Order of the Phoenix for the time being, so he worked with Aiwen and the others to study and design a new broomstick.
In addition, it is also worth mentioning that when Harry knew that buying a Firebolt would cost about five thousand Galleons, Harry donated his Firebolt for Ivan's research without saying a word, otherwise their current Definitely not enough money.
The price of the Firebolt has always been kept secret, and the other party will only tell you the price after showing that you have enough purchasing power.
To be honest, Aiwen didn't expect that the Firebolt would be so expensive, it was a huge sum of money.
A better broomstick cost less than a hundred Galleons, but a Firebolt cost five thousand Galleons.
These gold coins can be piled up to build a golden mountain, especially considering that when Sirius bought it for Harry, the Firebolt had just come out, and the price was much more expensive than it is now, which has to be amazing.
No wonder even Malfoy could only look enviously at Harry's Firebolt instead of asking his dad to buy one too.
Out of caution, Ivan did not disassemble the Firebolt to check its internal brake decoration.
Anyway, the previous broomstick had given him enough ideas. He combined the traditional design concept with alchemy, and began to try to make a new flying brake device and mind sensing device. These two devices are the core of a broom.
The fastest broom currently flying, the Firebolt can reach speeds of 150 mph.
Regardless of other factors, the braking device developed by Aiwen can easily exceed this speed, but this does not match other aspects of the broomstick, and stalling will occur, and the safety performance cannot be satisfied.
In the end, he temporarily adjusted his speed to 130 mph.
In this way, the braking device can continue to increase power to the broom, and will not lose power during the climb.
As a supplement, Ivan also added an extra brake.
Usually rely on one for normal flight, and turn on the other when you need to accelerate, and the speed can be doubled quickly, reaching 260 miles per hour.
Although the time is not long, but this is still a new breakthrough.
Harry said it was a good design, and if given his choice, he would have preferred the broom to the Firebolt.
For Seekers, they don't need to be fast most of the time, but they need to be able to accelerate at critical moments.
After solving the flight speed, I encountered the problem of not flying high.
Aiwen added three small magic brakes at the end of the broom with reference to the highest broom that can currently fly, "Ziyue", which is the monthly design of other brooms.
In this way, their new broom was kept tilted at 45 degrees, and the portability of the broom was greatly reduced, so they had to re-study.
There are also many problems to be solved in terms of durability and resistance to strong winds.
The only thing that satisfied Aiwen was the mind sensing device he designed. He added some of the black magic ideas of the soul to it. The new broom is more sensitive than all the broomsticks currently on the market, and can clearly feel the user's mind.
Using the telekinesis device, the broomstick seems to come alive and become a part of the user's body.
While Aiwen was researching the core part, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny were studying the balance and specific manufacturing process of the broom. Hermione and the others referred to many books, and finally drew a new blueprint of the broom .
The main shape is similar to the Silver Arrow of that year, with good elasticity, and the broom handle is thicker.
This is different from the new popular broomsticks on the market. In recent years, the design of broomsticks has become thinner and thinner. The mainstream design concept is slender and streamlined. The resistance of the broom will be much smaller and the speed will be faster. Get faster and look better.
Harry and Ron thought so, and even made the broomstick a bit longer than the Firebolt.
But Hermione and Ginny confirmed that it should be thickened, so that the durability and resistance will be enhanced, and the safety performance will be greatly improved.
The four of them quarreled for a long time about the thickness.
In the end, after discussion, it was decided to follow Hermione and Ginny's thinking first.
Although the ornamental value will be reduced a lot in this way, the safety performance has indeed been improved a lot, and it has also solved the problem of anti-strong wind and severe weather that has been plagued by Ivan, allowing the new broom to fly higher and adapt to faster speeds.
The enhanced texture also prevents the broomstick from bending and deforming due to use time or faster speed.
This design is indeed conscientious. You must know that even after the Firebolt reaches the limit speed, there is a risk of disintegration.
While making it bolder, Hermione and Ginny agreed to make the broom bigger.
A thicker and larger broomstick is more likely to be welcomed by girls. Their first consideration is safety, followed by viewing and speed.
Aiwen rejected this proposal, because in this case, the cost of broom production would greatly increase...
Considering the popularity and practicality, sometimes the thicker and bigger the better.
Chapter 878 Public Opinion and Nightmare
After the length and thickness issues were resolved, they started arguing over color again.
The result of the final discussion is that after making the broom handle thicker, it is better to use bright black, which has a more metallic texture.
In this way, a thick and black flying broom was born.
Just from the appearance, it feels thicker, harder and of better quality than all the broomsticks currently on the market.
Aiwen used alchemy to add the invisible magic shield, which made safety a feature of this broom, and it has been continued.
Later, someone imitated Aiwen's broom and developed a thicker, darker and larger flying broom, but in terms of safety performance, it has never been able to compare with Aiwen's broom. Make imitation.
In addition, the design of other additions, such as invisible cushions, were all left to Fred and George to solve.
This aspect is the strength of the two of them, and they always have many unexpected new ideas.
For example, adding landing devices, embedding alarm whistles and self-straightening tail branches, and invisible handles, etc., after designing the tail end of the broom, it can even spray colored smoke backwards during flight and their two special Weasley fireworks.
This design was also rejected by Ivan. It was too gorgeous and did not match the style of the broom for competition.
If you design an entertainment broom in the future, you can consider joining it.
At the same time, the innovation of embedding the alarm whistle was rejected for the same reason as to prevent Hermione and Ginny from making the broomstick thicker and bigger.
To do so, the cost is too high, completely beyond the original budget.
If you really put all their ideas together, you will not design a broom, but other strange things.
Just like that, when a few of them were researching the broomsticks at No. 12 of the Isolation Film Square, the sky was already turned upside down!
The day after Irving and Hermione's trip to Diagon Alley, Rita Skeeter's article about dementors attacking wizards uncontrollably was published, and she didn't even mention Harry, instead he Described as a young wizard who was innocently attacked by a dementor.
Because of his self-defense, he has to go to the Ministry of Magic for trial. Is there anything more unfair than this in the world?
And until now, no one from the Ministry of Magic has come out to explain this matter, explaining why the dementors lost control?
