Chapter 137 The Magical Floo Network and Floo Powder

"Hello, sir, madam. This is the first time we've met, you must be Hermione's parents, right?" Wright took the lead in saluting the Grangers, then raised his head and said in an unassuming voice, "Nice to meet you, I'm Bi Hermione's first year Ravenclaw student, Lightpath."

Wende and Jian Yan looked at each other with a smile. The two of them had just witnessed the entire incident between Chang Chu and this boy. Naturally, they knew that the boy in front of them was the same as the one who had lived in their house for more than two months. What kind of relationship does the girl have.

Wende stretched out his right hand towards Wright: "Hello, Wright, right? I am Hermione's father, Wende Granger, and this is Hermione's mother, Jane Granger."

Jane put her right hand on Hermione's shoulder and looked at Wright with a smile.

Wright stretched out his hand to shake Wende's, with a polite smile on his face: "You two have really cultivated a real genius for the wizarding world. It has been many years since I met someone as outstanding as Hermione." A wizard born from ordinary people.”

At this time, Hermione had also recovered from the shattering of Chang Chu's image just now. It is said that when she first met Chang Chu on the Hogwarts Express, Hermione thought that Chang Chu would be a scary girl with a very, very strong personality, but she did not expect that Chang Chu could always break Hermione's impression of her. inherent cognition.

"Long time no see, Wright." Hermione said, "Ron and Harry haven't come yet?"

"They haven't yet, maybe because of some delays." Wright shrugged, "If nothing else happens, Harry and the others will appear from the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron. Many wizarding families will connect the fireplaces of their homes. Come here, because then they can use Floo powder to get directly to Diagon Alley."

While speaking, Wright also pointed towards the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

Speaking of floo powder and floo network, we have to mention a witch, Ignatia Wildsmith.

This witch who was born in the 13th century used her genius brain and unparalleled space magic skills to invent Floo powder and Floo network. These two things have become popular throughout the world since the day they were born. Wizarding world.

What’s more worth mentioning is that there has never been a shortage of Floo powder, nor has anyone completely copied it. In other words, the genius witch Ignatia Wildsmith, who invented the Floo Network and Floo Powder, was Wright's Ravenclaw Academy sister (hundreds of years ago) as early as thirteen By that time, she had mastered her own core technology.

However, after hundreds of years of historical evolution, the production of Floo powder is now strictly controlled. There is only one licensed manufacturer in the UK, the Floo Bang Company. Of course, no other company can imitate Floo powder. Rather than one company, it is better to say that only Floo Bang Company has mastered the production technology of Floo powder.

It's not that no one has tried to imitate it, but the inferior floo powder they imitated simply cannot function as a space teleporter. Instead, it will cause serious harm to wizards who use floo powder and floo network.

The headquarters of the Floo Bang Company is located in Diagon Alley behind the Leaky Cauldron. After Wright became aware of the existence of these two magical things, Floo Network and Floo Powder, he tried to visit the Floo Bang Company, but unfortunately Yes, there was no response from anyone. Wright also tried to use shadow energy to sense the situation inside the company, but the Floo Bang Company was protected by strict protective magic and found nothing at all.

The Floo network used in conjunction with Floo powder is currently also closely monitored by the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

In the United Kingdom, the Floo Network is administered by the Floo Network Authority, a division of the Department of Magical Transport within the Ministry of Magic. Those who work in this department can disconnect the fireplace from the Floo network with a simple spell, and their approval is required to connect the fireplace to the Floo network.

In the hundreds of years since their invention, there have been almost no major problems with the use of Floo Network and Floo Powder. The only serious incident occurred in 1855. That year, after a quarrel with her husband, a witch jumped into the fire in the living room, choking and burping, crying that she wanted to go back. Her mother's home. Then after the green flame ignited, the witch disappeared, and the wizards around her never encountered her again. (Behind this accident is actually a green hat story...)

Turning to look at Chang Chu, she still kept her head bowed and said nothing. Wright smiled secretly, and then continued to ask the Granger family.

"Hermione, Uncle Wende, and Aunt Jane, do you want to wait here for the arrival of the Weasley family and Harry, or do you want to go to Diagon Alley to see something else first?" Wright said.

"Um..." Wende hugged his wife and daughter. Even though he had been here once last year, the strange looks from the wizards passing by at this moment still made him feel particularly uncomfortable. .

"Let's wait here for a while," Wende said. "Maybe they will come soon?"

Wright nodded, and he led the Grangers towards the seat where he had just been sitting. The empty wine glass was still on the table and had not been taken away.

"Uncle Wende, please sit here with me for a while." Wright sat down first, Chang Chu still sat next to him with his head lowered, and the Granger family sat opposite them.

"If you feel thirsty, you can try the mead here. It is said that the mead in the Leaky Cauldron and the mead brewed by Ms. Rosmerta in the Three Broomsticks Pub in Hogsmeade have different tastes. That's right," Wright said.

"Wright, stop talking. If you keep talking, I will probably turn red. If this reaches Ms. Rosmerta's ears, she might laugh at me! Her oak-ripened honey Wine is the real best wine." Tom, the old bartender, came over with a smile. Although he said this, there was no trace of ruddy color on his face. Apparently Boss Tom is quite proud of the taste of the mead in his bar.

"Okay, Tom!" Wright pretended to be impatient, waved his hand and said, "On matters like word-of-mouth, our customers' opinions count. As the owner of the bar, you'd better not get involved."

Tom just smiled and shook his head without replying.

"Wright, you seem to have a better relationship with the owner of this bar?" Wende asked Wright kindly after ordering drinks.

"Yes, I lived here for a short period of time when I was in first grade." Wright nodded and revealed his plans for the next few days, "But recently I am planning to find a wizard village to settle in. When I come down, the living conditions there will be more suitable for me.”
