#201 - Chapter 201 Applying for a Student ID Card

Having dealt with the trouble of Gre伯克, Sebastian was in a great mood.

Next was to lead the students to complete the Alchemy Club's project.

The magic runes for identifying magic power were already perfected.

Moreover, after more than half a year of learning and research, all the students in the Alchemy Club had mastered the corresponding alchemy knowledge.

Under Sebastian's careful guidance, each student in the Alchemy Club could independently create their own student ID.

In this way, the alchemy project to create a brand-new security identification system for Hogwarts finally came to an end.

Fred and George, and the other members of the Alchemy Club, were all eager to make identity plaques for all members of Hogwarts.

The announcement that the Alchemy Club was going to make student IDs for everyone immediately spread throughout Hogwarts.

This was a completely new thing, and the students gathered together to discuss the content of the announcement.

"Student ID? What's the use of this thing?"

"Look further down, this student ID is related to Hogwarts' security issues."

"What's going on? How can a student ID be linked to security issues?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You'll know if you look further down. Applying for a student ID is equivalent to signing a magic contract with the school. In that case, if outsiders come to the school, they will be discovered immediately."

"Is it really that magical?" Ron asked, his face full of disbelief after hearing everyone's discussion.

He couldn't figure out the principle behind it no matter how hard he tried.

But it didn't matter, when in doubt, ask Hermione.

"Hermione, do you know the principle behind the student ID?"

Hermione lowered her head, feeling somewhat unhappy. With her current level of knowledge, she couldn't understand the principle behind it either.

At this time, Fred stood up and began to explain everyone's doubts.

"Professor Swann said that everyone's magic power is unique."

"Based on this characteristic, a unique identity plaque, which is the student ID, can be made."

"Then, with the student ID as the carrier, a short-term magic contract is signed with Hogwarts."

"The student ID is a very special alchemy tool. In addition to our basic information, it also has many additional functions."

"Such as checking the exam requirements for each subject, checking final grades, and receiving school notices, etc."

Fred thought for a moment and continued, "Professor Swann gave us a very vivid analogy."

"Our magic power is each person's unique password. Through the magic contract, we leave a copy of this password in Hogwarts Castle."

"If calculated from the beginning of freshman enrollment, the term for storing this password is seven years."

"The student ID is a password lock used to verify the password."

"In this way, if someone pretends to be a young wizard and enters the school, their magic password will not match the password stored in the castle."

"Moreover, if the password is incorrect, they will not be able to open the student ID password lock and will not be able to use the student ID."

"What about Polyjuice Potion?" Harry asked a question, "Can you be identified if you use Polyjuice Potion to turn into another person?"

"Yes," Fred replied firmly, "Professor Swann said that everyone's magic power is determined by the soul."

"Polyjuice Potion can only change a person's appearance, but the soul cannot be changed."

Ron frowned, "What if the student ID is lost? In that case, who can prove that I am Ron?"

"It's very simple, little Ronnie," Fred replied with a smile.

"The student ID is just the carrier of the contract. The two parties signing the contract are Hogwarts Castle and the students."

"We can verify through magic whether your magic contract can match the contract stored in the castle."

"As long as it matches, a student ID can be easily reissued."

"If you don't have a corresponding magic contract, then you are definitely a fake."

"At that time, Hogwarts' alarm system will sound, and the professors will take action and personally arrest you."

"Don't call me little Ronnie!" Ron said dissatisfied,

"Aren't you supposed to be very busy? Why did you run out?"

"How can you be worthy of the high salary the school pays you if you are so lazy and slippery!"

Ron had always been extremely envious of his twin brothers.

They held multiple positions and received a considerable salary every month.

Because of this, their mother wrote many letters asking Ron to learn from his twin brothers.

Hearing this, Fred puffed out his chest: "Answering everyone's questions is my current job."

"Fred," Hermione made a request, "Can you let us see your student ID?"

"No problem!" Fred agreed readily and handed his student ID to Hermione.

"Huh? Why doesn't the photo on it move when I hold your student ID?"

Hermione asked with a face full of questions: "When it was in your hand, I saw the photo moving, and I couldn't trigger those special functions either."

"This is an anti-theft design. The student ID is only useful in the hands of the owner. In other people's hands, it is just an ordinary card."

Fred took his student ID and gently tapped it with his wand.

Suddenly, words composed of light and shadow appeared in front of him.

Written on it were Fred's exam requirements for each subject this academic year, the must-know knowledge points for each subject, and the task notifications from the Alchemy Club.

Looking at the surprised gazes of the crowd, Fred smiled triumphantly: "The specific functions, you can explore after you get your own student ID."

"Fred," Harry asked curiously, "What is the alarm system you just mentioned?"

Hearing this, Fred lowered his head and said mysteriously.

"Let me secretly tell you, we have made a super large map of Hogwarts."

"This map can automatically detect everyone's identity information."

"Once someone who has not signed this magic contract appears within the school grounds, it will immediately appear on that map."

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to notify the prefects of each house to organize everyone to apply for student IDs, starting with the first-year students."

"Don't forget to bring your pets. Professor Swann said that even pets must have pet tags."

"Oh, right," Fred added, "You must wear your school uniform to take photos when applying for student IDs."

"Friendly reminder, you can go and dress up now, so that the photos taken will be more beautiful."

With that, Fred waved his hand and strode away dashingly.

He still had a lot to do.
