Chapter 345
After the class ended in the afternoon of the second day, Scott and the others came to the "joke prop studio" in the secret road again.
The hawk sent by Scott had long since returned.
Fred quickly picked up the plush rabbit and took out the panoramic telescope.
"let me see."
He raised the panoramic binoculars in front of his eyes, and skillfully turned the wheel with his fingers.
"Forget it, Fred." George said with a smile, "Can you find out where Little Hangleton is from the rewatched video?"
"Who said I couldn't find it? I studied the map." Fred said unconvinced.
George didn't believe in his ability, and said in a mocking tone: "Then you look for it slowly."
Scott ignored the two brothers' quarrel, but reached out and touched the eagle's feathers, using magic perception to detect its state.
"I didn't expect that after the past day, its condition is still quite stable." He said to Eddie.
"I can't do that."
Eddie looked enviously at the eagle standing more mighty under Scott's touch.
"If I use the transformation technique to conjure an animal, it can only last for an hour at most. After leaving the range of magic control, I can't act independently."
Scott shrugged his shoulders, "I told you how to advance Transfiguration."
"Although I know the method, I still can't do it." Eddie said helplessly.
At this time, Fred finally gave up.
"Well, I really can't find it." He handed Scott the panoramic binoculars in his hand.
"Let Eddie come," Scott said with a laugh. "That's his forte."
Gossip also requires talent, keen observation and memory.
"I really need to come." Eddie proudly took over the panoramic telescope and started to operate it.
Scott started chatting with the twins.
He asked Fred and George, "What have you been inventing lately?"
"We've been researching fireworks recently." Fred took out a notebook from an old desk and opened it. "Of course, our plan also includes the portability swamp."
George interjected: "We think there is still a lot to improve on the Flierbar fireworks, and sooner or later we will make a product that surpasses it."
As the two talked, they couldn't help but took out tools and materials and got together to tinker.
Scott watched for a while. They were experimenting with pyrotechnic formulas, and small explosions occurred from time to time in an old crucible.
"Oh, that won't work," said Fred, picking up his quill and writing in his notebook.
"Continue the experiment." George took out a bottle of unknown mineral powder.
Scott withdrew his gaze, picked up a new panoramic telescope, and tried to use magic perception to break through the blockade and figure out the internal rune circuit.
"Oh, I found it!" Eddie, who had been holding up the panoramic binoculars to watch, suddenly said, "This is Little Hangleton, a dilapidated small village."
Fred and George immediately stopped their research and approached Eddie.
"Have you found Gaunt's old house?" Fred asked. "I heard they've been down and out, living in a shabby house."
George said indifferently, "Could it be worse than our house?"
"Maybe, or something like that? I rarely see a wizarding house worse than ours," Fred said with a smile.
"But the Burrow is more interesting." George said proudly.
Fred agreed, "I think so, too."
"I can't judge." Eddie said, "The angle of view is from the sky, and the camera is not stable, but there are very few people in this village."
"Look for abandoned houses," Scott reminded him.
"Okay, yes." Eddie flipped the wheel with his fingers to adjust the playback speed, "I need to take a closer look, oh...it looks like there are two abandoned houses..."
Scott immediately understood that according to the description in the "Original Book", the two abandoned houses should be Gaunt's old house and Riddle's house.
"Let's take a look." Eddie handed out the panoramic binoculars, "I've fixed the lens."
Fred took over the panoramic binoculars and looked at it for a while, "Oh, I think it's the dilapidated house in the bush. The Gaunt's family shouldn't be able to live in the other big house on the hillside."
George took the panoramic binoculars from his hand and took a look, "Your judgment is right, there is a snake staring at the door of that dilapidated house."
"Your eyes are really good, obviously the door of that house is full of bushes." Fred took another look and confirmed what George saw.
"Give it to me." Scott held out his hand, "I need to draw a map."
"Okay." George handed Scott the panoramic binoculars.
Scott began to carefully examine the lens of the telescope.
He read it several times and memorized the terrain distribution of the entire Little Hangleton Village by heart.
"Give me a piece of parchment," he said.
Eddie helped unfold a piece of parchment and placed it on the desk in front of Scott. Scott held up the panoramic telescope in one hand, took out his wand in the other, and pressed the tip of the wand against the parchment.
As his finger holding the panoramic telescope kept moving the image back and forth, black lines sprang out from under the tip of his wand and quickly spread across the entire parchment.
After mapping out the general topography of Little Hangleton Village, Scott's magic didn't stop.
On the parchment, ink-colored lines continued to spread around the tip of his wand, drawing a more detailed bird's-eye view on the basis of the terrain.
Finally, the lines form some identifying words.
"It should be almost there."
Scott put down the panoramic binoculars and looked at the map he had "drawn".
He reached out and pushed the map forward, "Now let's discuss where it is best and most concealed to place our cameras."
"Here, here, here..." Eddie reached out and clicked a few places near Gaunt's old house on the map.
Fred also held out his hand. "Here, we can put the telescope on the tree."
"Here is fine too." George pointed with his finger, "Although it's a little far away, it's safe."
Scott pointed to the Riddle Mansion, "This abandoned mansion can also be nearby, because it is abandoned, so there may be someone hiding here."
The four discussed for a long time and finally decided on the plan.
Fred marked the map in red.
"You'll need seven panoramas in total," he told Scott. "It's a good thing you bought ten at once."
Scott nodded, and took out the remaining panoramic binoculars and put them on the table.
"I need to think again," he said. "If you saw seven eagles flying through the air with seven rabbits at once, anyone would know something was wrong."
The other three thought about the scene and couldn't help laughing.
"Wait till night," Eddie said. "No one will see after dark."
Scott took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "Let's go to dinner first, and then go to the Forbidden Forest to operate, otherwise the scene of 7 eagles grabbing 7 rabbits and leaving Hogwarts Castle will definitely attract onlookers."
He put all 7 panoramic binoculars into his shapeshifting lizard leather bag, "Let's put the rest here, including the one that has already been used."
While speaking, he took out his wand again and turned the eagle back into a block of ebony wood.
Fred also waved his wand and extinguished all the candles on the table.
"Fluorescent flashes."
Several people left the studio with their wands illuminated with the Illuminating Charm.
After closing the door, they went to the slide to find out the old broomstick and started to fly up the long slide.
"I haven't asked yet," Eddie said. "Even if we got the live footage, what? The footage can't be dumped, edited, or played elsewhere."
He exclaimed as if suddenly enlightened, "Isn't there no way to make money in this way?"
"Did you just find out?" Scott couldn't help laughing.
"It's not about making money in this case," Fred said.
George answered, "We just want to know if the witch and the devil will show up, and if they will fight."
"You didn't even think about making money?" Eddie was obviously surprised.
He turned to look at Scott who was flying behind him, "What about you, Scott?"
"I don't know what to do," Scott said. "Should we sell all the telescopes that recorded the images? That won't make much money."
Eddie obviously couldn't accept it, "If you can't make money, why do you do these things?"
Only Eddie's purpose in this matter is the purest, and he came here to make money from the beginning.
Both Scott and the Weasley twins knew it, but neither reminded him.
"Of course it's because it's fun!" Fred and George said in unison.
Scott gave a different answer, "In order to detect intelligence."
"There's no point in doing it if you can't make money!" Eddie said, "not to mention the risks involved!"
Eddie was still chattering until they returned to the corridor on the third floor of the castle through the statue of the one-eyed hunched witch.
He persuaded Scott and the Weasley twins to abandon this plan.
"The risk of this matter is not small. If someone finds out, it might cause us great trouble." He said, "This matter is not interesting, and we don't need information about it... "
Scott and the twins were all a little too much for him to talk about.
"Okay, I'll find a way to make you money." Scott said helplessly, "I'm currently studying the rune circuit in the panoramic telescope."
This was his original plan. If he could figure out the rune circuit in the panoramic telescope, he might be able to extract and sell the images stored in it in other forms.
It's just that I didn't say it because I wasn't fully sure. I didn't expect to be talked about by Eddie.
When Eddie heard Scott's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and was immediately overjoyed, "Then I'll leave it to you! Be sure to research it!"
Fred said to Scott, "We are also very interested in the rune circuits in the telescope!"
"But we have no way to take that thing apart." George said, "If we insist on taking it apart, the rune circuit inside it will definitely self-destruct."
Scott nodded, "I understand, I'm using magic perception to try to circumvent the restriction, and there's already a hint of it."
Fred and George also became excited when they heard the words. They put their hands on Scott's shoulders and looked at him with burning eyes.
Scott quickly broke away from them, "Okay, I see, if I can get this set of rune circuits, I will share them with you."
"Great!"
"cool!"
Fred and George high-five each other.
"I already have a lot of inspiration!"
"Me too!"
"With this set of rune circuits, we can invent a lot of fun things."
"I can not wait any more!"
Their eyes were shining brightly, and they couldn't wait to get together and chat about it.
After having dinner in the auditorium, the four of them came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"and many more."
Scott stopped suddenly and looked up at the already dark sky.
"Hagrid and Miss Graplan are in the forest, let's go in later."
Eddie asked curiously, "What are they doing?"
"Dating?" Fred asked.
"I feel sick," George said.
"It's not a date, they're not together." Scott said, he closed his eyes, "Hagrid was with some magical animal, it should be a centaur? Miss Graplan was with that little Thestral, it should be a walk ?”
He was just guessing, and it stands to reason that neither the centaur nor the Thestrals would come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Let's get out of here first."
Scott turned and walked the other way.
"I'll take you around them. Whether it's Hagrid or Miss Graplan, it's very troublesome to see us entering the Forbidden Forest."
Fred said indifferently, "Hagrid will stop us, but Miss Graplan will not."
"We've met her several times and she hasn't criticized us," George said.
"Avoid it if you can. After all, they are all teachers." Scott led them into the Forbidden Forest and began to circle around.
In his opinion, he would rather meet Hagrid than knock down that unpredictable witch of Graplan.
While Graplan is easygoing, Scott tries to avoid dealing with her, perhaps out of instinct.
He led the three of them around the location of Hagrid and Graplan, and gradually went deep into the Forbidden Forest, until they came to a small lake.
"Just here."
He took out the panoramic binoculars and placed them on the ground, and began to dig out the ebony wood blocks used for deformation.
He began to conceive a new "personal design" in his mind.
This time, there are 7 "personal settings" to be made. Although they can be roughly the same, due to the different tasks of each individual, there are still some small differences.
And this time the "personal design" is more complicated than last time.
The eagle that was in charge of reconnaissance before only needs to memorize the route, and then fly over Little Hangleton.
The eagle responsible for this mission not only needs to remember the observation points they set to place and hide the panoramic telescope, but also needs to turn on the switch of the panoramic telescope when that day comes.
This kind of "personal design" just to complete the task certainly looks much simpler than Rimbaud, but at least it needs to be logically self-consistent.
In short, it took Scott a lot of time.
The other three knew what he was doing and didn't bother him, they just stood by and held up their wands to illuminate him.
Scott confirmed several times that the "personal design" in his memory was correct before starting to do it.
He waved the wand in his hand again and again, and the light of the Transfiguration Charm enveloped each block of wood, and the blocks began to deform one after another.
Soon, seven almost identical eagles appeared in front of him.
"Go, warriors, and complete your task."
Scott smiled and waved.
Seven eagles honked a few times, grabbed a panoramic telescope and flew up.
Soon, they flew out of the forest and merged into the night.
