Chapter 1054: Drinking Tea? Interview!

As the most powerful wizard in the world, Dumbledore has a certain understanding of everything related to magic.

When he was in school, he was extremely obsessed with alchemy and was even the pen pal of the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel.

The most mysterious elective course at Hogwarts, Alchemy, was taught by him personally.

The students who are eligible to attend the class are those who have passed the NEWT Potions, Ancient Magic Runes, and Magic Theory in their sixth and seventh years.

Of course he knew how to make a Pensieve or something like that.

It is very difficult, but does not necessarily require rare magical materials.

The reason why Vincent said this is that he is determined not to do it if there is no benefit.

In fact, it’s not that Dumbledore couldn’t build it, but he had a lot of things to do and no extra time to waste.

However, just when he was about to bargain with Vincent, Sirius, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Rare magical materials? What magical materials? I seem to have a lot in my family's vault."

Vincent turned his neck stiffly, "The Black family's vault... Sirius, are you serious?"

Sirius nodded nonchalantly, "Those things are just there for the time being, take them if you need them."

What does it mean to be wealthy and powerful? This is what a wealthy man looks like.

Vincent looked down at the fried pork chop on the plate in front of him, then looked up and met everyone's eyes one by one.

The vice-president who can transform into a cat, the greasy old bat professor, the retired legendary Auror, the newly-promoted Disguisemaggs, the prodigal rich second-generation, and the former werewolf professor.

These people have different personalities and hobbies, but the reason for gathering together is the same, which is to fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

In such a resolute atmosphere, Vincent's heart began to waver.

He rolled his eyes at Dumbledore.

His moral standards are not high, and he is not capable of selfless dedication. "We have to wait and see whether it is useful or not."

Everyone looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table with satisfaction; even Snape put away the mockery on his face.

It was probably the first time in a thousand years that so many people had lunch in the principal's office, even if it was just at the bottom of the stairs.

After eating and drinking, Vincent and Hermione went back first.

But the small gathering of the Order of the Phoenix did not end there.

Dumbledore took the last bite of pudding, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at everyone with a smile, "What do you think of these two children?"

"Huh..." Snape sneered, "What a bad character."

He was obviously talking about Vincent, but as for Hermione, it was unclear whether she didn't want to mention it or didn't have an opinion.

Sirius disagreed. "I think he's easy to get along with, Snape. You just don't like him."

"That's right." Snape's eyes were full of sarcasm. "You have to be careful. Wayne is not without the guts to empty your vault."

Sirius shot back, "You annoying bastard, why do you always make malicious assumptions about others? I suggest that next time before you say someone has a bad character, you should reflect on your own problems first."

It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.

Snape snorted coldly, and Lupin interjected: "Vincent and Hermione are both rare talents and deserve to be cultivated well."

No matter how much you dislike them, you have to admit that they are excellent.

Vincent needs no introduction, Hermione is far superior to her peers in both intelligence and magic level.

What she lacks is practical experience. If she fully grows up, she will definitely not be weaker than anyone here.

McGonagall and Moody both agreed with Lupin's opinion.

Especially Mag, she had placed high hopes on these two children since they were in the first grade, and they did not disappoint her, and even brought her surprises time and time again.

Tonks didn't have much contact with the two, but she had a good impression of Vincent. Although he was powerful, he never became complacent.

In the words of her teacher Moody, she is low-key but capable, and has the talent to accomplish great things. Such a person is not simple and should never be underestimated.

Snape was still the same. He looked at Dumbledore with a dark face and said, "Granger is fine, but Wayne is not someone who shares the same ideals as you."

To put it nicely, it is called seeking profit and avoiding harm; to put it bluntly, it is profiteering.

Dumbledore's mouth curled up slightly. "I think we get along well. Besides, this child is very reliable. We don't need to worry too much."

It was said to be a tea party, but it turned out to be an interview.

It's hard to say for Hermione. Vincent has his own things to do and will definitely not join the Order of the Phoenix.

There were no classes this afternoon, so the students started discussing the second project of the morning.

The Daily Prophet updated the news at the end of the project, introducing the process of the four warriors rescuing the hostages. As expected, the ending praised the Ministry of Magic for its thorough preparation and deliberately elevated the significance of the Triwizard Tournament, which is commonly known as "superior value".

Room of Requirement, secret base.

After two hours of "hard" research and development, Vincent successfully integrated the memory playback function of the meditation basin into a small magic communicator add-on component.

Even though it is not as big as a finger, as long as you put the extracted memory into it and install it on the magic communicator, the projection screen can play the entire memory.

It can also be accelerated and slowed down multiple times, and if connected to a large magic projector, it can even create an immersive effect like a meditation basin.

Video communications have evolved from two-way mirrors to magic communicators, and memory playback has evolved from pensieves to tiny add-on components. The world of alchemy has once again undergone a monumental transformation without anyone noticing.

But Vincent, the instigator of all this, just wanted to enjoy campus life leisurely.

after dinner,

As usual, he and his friends held a lively celebration party in the Owl Court Club Activity Room.

Harry scored a high score of 45 today. As long as his performance in the third event is not too bad, he will definitely win the final triumvirate cup.

However, he, who should have been the protagonist of the party, seemed a little depressed, and the smile on his face seemed forced.

Ron came over when everyone was no longer surrounding him.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?"

"Sorry, I'm still thinking about what happened during the day."

Although it was called a test, Harry always felt that the mermaids' attack was not that simple.

He looked at his injured arm.

Madam Pomfrey's skills are excellent. The wound has now healed completely. I guess it won't hurt when I wake up tomorrow.

Thinking back to the situation, if he had not reacted quickly enough, the spear would have pierced his chest instead of his arm.

Those mermaids gave him a particularly contradictory feeling; their attacks were in compliance with their leader's orders, but were somewhat reluctant.

"Harry, don't think too much." Ron turned around and picked up an empty plate from the table full of delicious food at the back. "You only suffered minor injuries in the second task. This is the best result."

He handed the plate to Harry. "Eat something. I noticed you didn't eat much at dinner."

Harry nodded with a wry smile, "Maybe I really am overthinking it."
