Chapter 252 You rat, sell it to me
"Les, you are planning to go to Egypt during the summer vacation, right?" Daphne asked this question seriously on the Hogwarts Express returning to London.
Daphne was a little anxious, because if she didn't ask, Les would be separated from them!
She still wanted to spend a long summer vacation with Les and learn more novel magic from him. Especially the "magic of creating dolls" that he mentioned before, she was quite interested and had the urge to learn.
Les thought about it for a moment, a little undecided. The main reason is that this expedition is inextricably linked to Hufflepuff, which means there is a strong uncertainty behind it. He can't say what will be waiting for him in the ancient ruins of Egypt.
It might be nothing, it might be like a dungeon with a crazy Hufflepuff in it.
Daphne thought for a moment and threw out a bait that she thought was very tempting to Les: "Okay, forget the topic just now - Les, what are the ways for humans to fly?"
Daphne's jumping thinking confused Les a little, but it was obviously a very simple question.
"Do flying broomsticks, flying magic, flying carpets, and portkeys count? And all kinds of magical flying animals—hippogriffs, thestrals, and fire dragons."
"Then do you know how Muggles fly?" Daphne's next question made Les silent for a few seconds.
If this question were asked to Les, who had just woken up two years ago, he would definitely be confused - how could a Muggle fly? But now, after gaining a lot of knowledge, Les knows that those seemingly ordinary Muggles really have the means to fly!
"I heard that they have an alchemical creation called an 'airplane' that can carry hundreds of people flying at one time. It's really an unimaginable scene."
Daphne's eyes flashed with excitement: she felt the fish bit the hook.
"It seems that the British Muggle government has a close relationship with the Muggle government of Egypt, so there are many direct flight routes from London to Cairo. What do you think of the idea of flying to Egypt? This is an exploration of the Muggles' flying creations. What a great opportunity, if you want, I will ask dad to get one for you." Daphne, who grew up in a wizarding family, has very limited knowledge of the Muggle world, so she has only a half-knowledge of many things, but she It is true that the family's power can be used to arrange for people to travel by plane.
Needless to say, Les was really moved.
Daphne's meaning was very simple. She could help Les get Muggle plane tickets without any strings attached. Based on her understanding of Les, she thought this was the most efficient way.
"I'll make a cup of tea first." Finally, Les decided to use tea leaves to divine the fortune of this trip.
If the divination result was not good, he would not take Daphne with him at all, even if he was shameless enough to enjoy the plane ticket they got him - he had already made up his mind to fly to Egypt.
Although divination is greatly affected by talent, Rice feels that the strength of the soul has an impact on the accuracy of divination, especially the success rate of short-term divination.
Regarding this hypothesis, Rice even designed a simple little experiment: he made a twelve-sided dice, then divined the throwing results before throwing them, and found that the accuracy rate was significantly higher than mathematical expectations.
However, Ravenclaw also complained about the experiment designed by Rice. She believed that it was Rice who exerted psychological suggestions on himself that caused him to unconsciously vote the points he wanted. Therefore, she believed that Rice's hypothesis did not have enough basis.
Although he did not get the support of Ravenclaw, Rice still believed in his hypothesis and believed that the results of his divination were more or less reliable.
Taking out the small crucible, Les quickly brewed a cup of tea, then drank the tea as quickly as possible, followed the instructions in the book and shook the teacup a few times before observing the shape of the tea leaves.
The results of the tea divination were quite optimistic, and Rice believed that the trip would be a "near miss" at best.
"Book two tickets. Do you want to go to Egypt too?"
"It's three!" Astoria saw that Les was loose and immediately entangled him.
"Can Mr. Henry agree?" Les frowned slightly: No matter what he said, he was only a teenager in his teens, but Mr. Henry could actually allow three children to travel abroad together?
"Of course." Daphne and Astoria replied in unison.
Mr. Henry has great trust in Les, and they are confident to convince him. Besides, they have some big news that they haven’t revealed to their father...
Seeing this, Les agreed.
It’s time to take the kids out to summer camp. He comforted himself like this.
At the same time, he also secretly warned that he would no longer accept apprentices in the short term. Two children were enough for him to worry about. If he accepts more students, he may not have that much energy.
When the train arrived, the students filed out and rushed to the platform.
A large blob of red in the corner of the platform caught Les's eye: it was the complete Weasley family.
Judging from the appearance, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and their two graduated children were here, and there were two people who looked like reporters standing next to them.
As soon as Ron and Fred got off the train, they were called over by Mrs. Weasley.
"Percy, Ginny, and you three, come here quickly!"
After the confused five-person group walked over, Mrs. Weasley immediately began to "line up" and had the whole family line up. Then, the photographer of the "Daily Prophet" took a picture of this Zhang took a somewhat rushed family photo.
"We just accepted an interview with the Daily Prophet - as you know, your father won the first prize. The newspaper wanted to conduct a follow-up interview and asked us how the prize money was distributed." After taking all the family photos, the interview was considered Come to an end. Mrs. Weasley also began to explain to several children what they had just been doing.
Ron, who was holding his pet rat, shouted dissatisfied: "So that photo will be in the newspaper? Didn't you tell me earlier?! If I had known, I would have put this guy away."
The mouse Scabbers didn't react much after hearing this. He just turned over lazily in Ron's arms and curled up his paws.
Percy on the side also frowned: "Isn't this too cramped? How can we tell from such a group photo that we plan to go to Egypt?"
The Daily Prophet reporter smiled and ignored them.
Of course, choosing to conduct the interview in London is to save trouble. Is it possible that they should also go to Egypt with them?
Just like that, a large group of people squeezed past Les and the three of them, and Ron accidentally stepped on Les's foot.
"Ah, Les, I didn't mean to!"
"Is everything okay...eh? Ron, please wait a moment."
Ron stopped and looked at Les in confusion.
"Sell it to me, you rat."
Les's words stunned him.
