"Actually, you can change your thinking. Small radiation range is not a problem. As long as you can make this antenna (George pointed out with a serious face that it is a broom hunter) effective on any type of broomstick, then let it fly
Just get up, and if you can do this, you can basically achieve a restricted area of air."
Hearing what Jon said, George, who was mainly responsible for the research and development of this thing, immediately brightened up.
It is indeed difficult to expand its casting range, but if you can make it fly, there is no difficulty. The difficulty now is just how to improve it to be able to target all types of flying broomsticks.
efficient.
However, George and Fred were not in the mood to think about this for the time being. What really mattered to them was Jon's current attitude. With the proposal just now, it was obvious that he was not opposed to their research.
"You promised to keep it a secret for us?"
Jon rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
"This is not a matter of keeping your secret secret. As long as you are still in Hogwarts and the Burrow, you will be discovered by the adults sooner or later. And what you are doing now is not trivial.
Damn it, can you really ensure that every experiment you perform will not go wrong? What if something goes wrong?"
George and Fred looked at each other, and Fred cleared his throat and said.
"Of course we have also considered these things. At home we are only conducting some experiments that are not dangerous, and we have only returned home not long ago. Like Ron, this is our second time home."
"Sooner or later, adults will find out..."
Fred scratched his head. It was obvious that he had not seriously thought about this issue before, or that he had subconsciously avoided it.
"Let's wait until the day we are discovered. Anyway, my mother will only teach us a few words and then let us go weeding in the backyard."
Jon saw through his thoughts and knew that he was actually escaping.
"You can't always keep it secret, or you don't plan to tell Professor Dumbledore after perfecting these things that can become alchemical items?"
"Of course I have thought about it." Regarding this point, George answered with certainty, "When we first planned to come up with these things, we just wanted to help the professors share the pressure, but at that time we were still just messing around. Professor McGonagall
I always thought we were playing some kind of prank, and even if we told them, they wouldn't believe our ability unless we could produce a finished product."
The Weasley twins have never been fools. They are smarter than anyone else and know their credibility in the minds of professors. If they want to restore such credibility, they need to take action.
In Durmstrang, these people met the twins for the first time, so they never knew what they had done before. The librarian, Mr. Alpha, indeed had an excellent vision, Grinder
Waugh also has considerable courage and determination, and even the students of Hogwarts can extend an olive branch.
Well, just like when he was able to force the appointment of Durmstrang Professor of Transfiguration on Jon.
Jon looked at the "anti-disarming wand", and then turned his attention to George and the others.
"Although I think what you have produced now is enough to bring changes to Professor Dumbledore and the others, it seems that you yourself feel that you still need some time to prepare. This is not a bad thing, anyway, you have also signed a contract with
Durmstrang’s contract does not lack support and assistance, so let’s wait until you are all ready before giving everyone a surprise.”
Fred and George's eyes all showed excitement.
"Of course we will prepare a big surprise. To be honest, Jon, we still have a lot of ideas waiting to be tried. The fake wand and the half-finished broom hunter are just some preliminary experiments. We will wait until our real results come out.
It will definitely surprise everyone in the future!”
They made bold words, and Jon indeed believed that the two of them had this ability.
Sometimes you have to admit that talent is something you are born with. Arthur is an excellent player in alchemical transformation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to apply magic to a Ford car so successfully. And George and Fred
I completely inherited his talent.
Although both of them researched some prank-type magic props in the original work, the different times will also bring about different changes in people.
Now is the time for them to show themselves.
Jon could provide George and the others with some different insights, but did not bother them too much. He had enough things to study, and specifically the twins were no longer studying ancient magic texts, but they could
It's called alchemy.
It is true that he can understand some magic texts, but it can be said that he has no involvement in alchemy at all, so Jon and He are not arrogant enough to think that he can be an amateur and command an expert.
In this way, he helped the twins temporarily hide their secrets, and stayed at the Weasley house for about a week. During his free time, he discussed Muggle transportation with Arthur, and found fish with Hermione and Ron.
Go fishing in the nearby creek, or accompany Gabrielle to help Ginny with her summer homework.
It wasn't until a week later, in mid-July, that the planned trip finally started.
The Weasley family has not had a family outing for ten years, because the situation in the UK did not allow it before, whether it was the twins and Ron on the Hogwarts carriage, or in the Order of the Phoenix.
The Weasleys who worked for Dumbledore lived a precarious life.
No one can guarantee whether the next meal will be safe to eat, let alone travel.
And this time it is not only because the situation has temporarily stabilized, but also because they are now in France.
Arthur and Molly may have been here before, but this was their first time for their children, so choosing this time and place to travel was perfect.
Early that morning, the Weasley family packed their things, and their trip was quite planned.
Especially Arthur, who has done enough planning. Of course, wizards cannot go directly into the mountains and forests when they go out. The places they go to most are Muggle attractions and shopping malls. In order to prevent the accidents that happen to most wizards, he even gives every wizard
Everyone has designed what kind of Muggle clothes they should wear.
Arthur's preparations were indeed necessary. For example, Jon did not consider that in some more solemn occasions, people wearing shorts would not be allowed to enter.
He also seriously considered the problem of catching cold if wearing short sleeves when the temperature dropped at night, and specially equipped each person with a leather jacket.
After everything was ready, the Weasley family, Jon, Hermione, and Gabrielle first came to a tavern in Lyon run by a wizard, where they planned to have lunch and wait for the Longbottom family to join them.
They didn't have to wait long, and just as the waiter brought the appetizers, Neville came here with his father.
Mr. Longbottom's full name is Frank Longbottom.
This is a wizard who gives off a very reliable feeling based on his appearance. He has a resolute and round face like his own son. His stature is not tall, but he is definitely not short.
And when he came to the tavern and saw the Weasley family, specifically Jon, he stood there with a serious face, handed everything in his hand to Neville, and then solemnly said:
He bowed to Jon.
Jon, who was staring at an appetizer that looked like octopus balls, was startled and subconsciously wanted to move away from Frank's gift.
However, Arthur grabbed Jon's arm and did not let him successfully avoid it, and said very seriously.
"You deserve your thanks, Jon, there's no getting around it."
"Actually, after I got the news that night, I should have gone to see you to express the gratitude of the entire Longbottom family. For this purpose, I wrote a letter to Neville. It was he who told me that you were still in training, that
It's not polite to disturb you at this time, so I waited until now. Neville's grandma and uncle also wanted to thank you personally, but they are old and have limited mobility, so they expressed their gratitude by getting rid of me.
Thank you."
Frank spoke extremely seriously, and his movements were obviously abrupt. Fortunately, except for the Weasley family, there were almost no other guests in the tavern, so it did not attract much attention.
"Thank you for avenging Neville's mother Alice. The entire Longbottom family will be bound to you in the future. No matter what help you need, any wizard named Longbottom will be at your mercy."
His promise was tantamount to putting the entire Longbottom family on Jon, because Neville's mother was not the only Longbottom family member who died at the hands of the Lestranges.
They are also pure-blood families, but it can be said that these two families have a blood feud. This time, Jon almost killed the main branch of the enemy family, Rabastan, Rodolphus, and Bella. It was indeed a great kindness to the Longbottom family.
.
After being pulled by Arthur and receiving a blow from Frank, Jon did not avoid it anymore. He knew that Neville's father needed a psychological catharsis.
"Neville and I are friends, Mr. Longbottom," Jon said softly, "and they both deserve to die anyway."
"Their crime is not enough to die ten thousand times, but no matter whether you are subjective or not, it is you who avenge us. This is indisputable." Frank raised his head, as if he saw Jon's performance
A little uncomfortable, "We will not always talk about our kindness, nor will we change the friendship between Neville and you for this reason, but no matter what happens, if necessary, please tell the Longbottom family."
His words were very sincere, and Jon could feel the seriousness in them. He nodded solemnly.
"I will."
A smile appeared on Frank's face, as if Jon's acceptance of the Longbottom family's thanks was one of the purposes of his trip.
"Okay, now that we've said all that needs to be said, let's start dinner quickly, Frank. The kids are impatient. After a while, we can probably go directly to Nice to arrange dinner."
Molly pulled Frank to sit on the chair. Neville punched Jon on the shoulder and then followed him to sit at the dining table.
For Europeans, dinner is the time to really have a big meal, so they arranged tonight's dinner to Nice, the first seaside city at the beginning of the trip. They had lunch at the wizard's tavern in Lyon and had a quite sumptuous meal.
French cuisine.
Whether it is the Weasley family, the Longbottom family, or Hermione and Jon, it is rare that so many people get together to relax.
Hermione and Ginny were teaching Gabrielle how to take care of her hair; George and Fred were still muttering away from others and whispering, and winking at Jon from time to time; Molly inquired earnestly.
I wonder if my eldest son has found a girl he likes recently. If he doesn’t know how to woo a girl and become a mother, I can teach him.
Arthur, Charlie and Frank were discussing the fate of the dragon training farms in Romania. Someone seemed to have bought the entire dragon training farm recently. Neville was telling Jon and Ron about what he had done since the summer vacation.
, his boring experience at home alone, and said that after this trip, he would ask his father to agree to let him stay at the Weasley house until the start of the next semester.
"I heard that all the schedule for the Triwizard Tournament has been determined. Professor Dumbledore just went to England not long ago and completed all the preparations before the start of the competition."
Neville also learned some inside information at home and whispered to Jon Neville.
"I heard that the International Magic Federation has also selected three referees. Not only are these people not from Europe, but they are all mixed-race, ensuring that they will not be attracted by any party. However, the list of referees has not been announced yet. It is said that they will be
It won’t be announced until the day of the game.”
Jon blinked. He was actually quite curious as to whether there would be wizards from his hometown in the International Federation of Magic.
"Did you hear where the three referees who came here are from?"
Neville shook his head.
"That's not true. I just heard rumors that the three referees were sent by a wizard each from America, Asia and Africa."
Ron curled his lips and said.
"Actually, I don't care about the referee, but the venue of the game should not be at Hogwarts Castle. That is now the headquarters of the Dark Lord. If he really wants to hide the mischief from others, it will not be easy. Really not?
I know why Professor Dumbledore agreed to this in the first place."
In this regard, Jon, who had actually been to Hogwarts Castle, knew something inside. He shook his head and said.
"Don't think that the Dark Lord is the principal of Hogwarts Castle. That school is not necessarily his territory."
