I have to say that Mr. Photographer is quite capable, and the above picture is enough to be used as a promotional poster for the Triwizard Tournament.
If there is no Karkaroff in it.
This man who hurried to Northern Europe after the fall of Voldemort was somewhat famous in England at that time... Of course, it was not a serious reputation.
So Karkaroff... I can only say that his behavior in the photo, coupled with his own appearance, is very suitable to be described as a deer-headed mouse. Krum next to him was constantly pulled towards the middle by him, looking uncomfortable.
Reluctantly.
It looks extremely funny.
Fortunately, when the photo was handed over to Karkaroff, the "other him" instantly became serious and assumed a respectable appearance.
Even though it seemed a bit nondescript, it at least temporarily saved him from dragging the photographer.
Everyone dispersed, but Aini held the photo thoughtfully.
Wizards, especially most old-school wizards, prefer traditional portraits to taking photos.
Before the magic painter starts painting, he must first understand the customer, his life story, personal preferences, behavioral habits, etc. The more fully prepared he is, the closer the behavior of the portrait will be to him.
Hogwarts has many portraits that are hundreds or thousands of years old, and the protagonists in them still continue their previous preferences or a certain life experience.
From preparation to writing, it often takes months or years to prepare. Even the heirs of some families will select a servant with a talent for magic painting and train them from a young age, in order to preserve the truest version of themselves in the world.
In comparison, taking photos is much more convenient.
The magical photographer's camera looks similar to the old model used by Muggle counterparts, but in fact it has two completely different mechanisms.
The appearance shown in the photo is not only affected by the photographer's subjective intention, but also captures certain characteristics of the object through special photography magic.
This process will be affected by equipment and strength, but not all. Most of it depends on luck.
Therefore, people often show a side of themselves that they don’t want to show in photos, which is one of the reasons why many wizards prefer magic paintings.
So, how does magic photography extract the characteristics of the target?
It is also an idea to separate this part of the content independently, maybe link it with the Concentration Curse, and combine the two into one.
"Meow~"
While he was thinking, a soft and cute cat crawled along the hem of the robe to his shoulder and rubbed Aini's cheek. Only then did he realize that the room was empty, except for Hermione still sitting on the chair.
"Sorry, I had something on my mind."
Ani smiled apologetically, and then remembered that she had made a date with Hermione.
"It's okay, it's just a few minutes."
The girl shook her head nonchalantly, reached out and took Maomao into her arms, and then the two of them returned directly to Aini's office without going to the auditorium for dinner.
Letting the robe float to the hanger, Ani reached for Hermione's wand and started playing with it.
Today's inspection was a reminder for him, just in case. Even though Mr. Ollivander was an authority in the relevant field, Ani was still going to check it himself and give the girl's wand a long-lasting protection.
Under Hermione's gaze, her wand was stimulated with a light red aura, and strings of magic words so delicate that they were difficult to discern with the naked eye floated out from Aini's fingertips and were hidden in the aura of the wand.
This is a very pure isolation magic text. It only prevents inexplicable power from invading the wand. It does not have any additional power blessing and will not trigger the Ministry of Magic's photo scroll.
"Is there a problem Mr. Ollivander?"
Seeing the man's careful look, Hermione thought about the old man's words and deeds today, but there was not much interaction between the two. It was difficult to accurately use the few simple exchanges when purchasing the wand as a basis for comparison.
"Who knows, in short, be sure to keep your wand and personal belongings safe during this period."
Wand making is a secretly inherited craft that is basically passed down from generation to generation. Breath of Nature has also trained several wand makers, but no matter in terms of theoretical level, production technology or knowledge reserve, they are far from the same as the famous Oli
Compared to the Vander family.
Specializing in magic, Aini was sure that Ollivander had not tampered with the wand just now, but no one could say before, or whether those weapons dealers would have left a backdoor in the production.
Anyway, a few words spread out of Ilvermorny decades ago, which made the local staff maker's reputation even worse.
"Let's arrange a time and come with me to Galloway tomorrow."
Aini does not have a top staff master, but that does not mean that there are no other ways.
"tomorrow?"
The girl blinked her beautiful big eyes, "There will be activities in the club tomorrow, but you can leave it to Draco."
In the past few years, Hermione is not the only one who has grown. With the platform and arena of the Academy, many young wizards have diverted their energy originally devoted to vanity and fun in another direction.
Next day, Galloway.
"This is……"
Hermione opened her little mouth slightly and looked at the forest of giant trees in front of her in shock.
"Selgard was founded four thousand years ago as a secret place of the Gudruit Cult, a place of eternal inheritance."
Aini explained, being in a quiet forest, it seemed that even the sound was a bit ethereal.
"It's so beautiful...I've never seen any relevant records in books."
The green cover, the thick tree body, and the continuous mist are like a fairyland.
The girl walked a few steps forward to the nearest big tree with misty eyes, raised her hand and stroked it gently, letting the rough bark rub against her delicate palm.
"ah!"
Suddenly Hermione screamed, and the tree seemed to be shaking.
"Ha...ha...haha...stop it, little girl...it's so itchy!"
The huge oak tree in front of me was indeed trembling. During the trembling, an angular face appeared on the trunk.
Hermione hurriedly hid behind Aini, but saw him standing calmly on the spot, smiling and looking at the giant tree that was no longer shaking, and at this time, a pair of wooden eyes also looked at Aini.
"Long time no see, Vinahil."
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, my friend."
The two of them greeted each other in unison, but the content made the atmosphere slightly awkward...
"It's not a short time, Pooh, it's been several years."
Ani blinked his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the last time he came was before he went to Hogwarts.
"Really? But I feel like I have just entered a relaxing dream state."
The big face on the tree also blinked. Is a few years a long time? It's not enough for her to take a nap...
"Maybe you are right. How are you these days?"
It's not wise for the same immortal to care about the length of time, so Aini decisively changed the topic.
But he subconsciously ignored that through bloodline sublimation, he could already be classified as an immortal species.
