A day at Hogwarts

The "Daily Prophet" published a piece of tofu that found clues about Blake at the bottom of its front page. Fudge said he would be caught and brought to justice in the near future.

There were all high-sounding words in the news, but Charles dismissed them. He had the ability to wait until the matter was over and set up two tables for the Aurors to celebrate the victory at the Dancing Grass Restaurant.

The name of Charles's restaurant was finally decided, and Gabri came up with it so that she could eat with her face in the restaurant.

Professor Delacour was very unhappy because he couldn't brush his daughter.

So when Charles was doing experiments in the classroom at night, he felt very uncomfortable being stared at.

But Professor Delacour was soon attracted by a gadget made by Charles.

Although magic is quite versatile, some potions are very sensitive to magic. If mixed with magic spells, the effect will be seriously affected, so the wizard can only do it himself.

Charles built a magic magnetic stirrer. The magic-controlled magnet rotated under the shelf, driving the rotor in the beaker to stir the medicine.

"This is a good idea." Professor Delacour affirmed the stirrer, "However, the next potion can only be in contact with glass, and it cannot be too close to objects with magic spells, otherwise it will deteriorate. You need to put a magnet on the glass. There’s some trouble in here.”

Charles said confidently: "It doesn't matter, I'm prepared, Ron will be here later."

After he finished speaking, he began to assemble the new mixing tool. It was a hamster wheel that drove the mixer through gears and connecting rods. It was very simple.

It's just that Scabbers, who is the source of power, is at Ron's place and can't come over until they finish today's confinement at Snape's place.

Charles finished making the first potion tonight and put a roll of lead wire into the beaker to soak.

The lead wire suddenly glowed red like red-hot iron, but the beaker felt cold to the touch and soon became covered with dew.

Professor Delacour said to Charles: "We used to use this method to freeze beer in the dormitory, and the temperature was just right."

Soon after, the classroom door was opened, and three heads stuck in. Here came the Harry trio.

Professor Delacour greeted them warmly: "Come here quickly, there are snacks on the podium, you can take it yourself."

After the three of them said hello to Professor Delacour, Harry went to get a piece of butterfly pastry and ate it. Hermione studied the lead wire that Charles had just put down. Ron held a box of chocolate frogs and carefully asked Charles: "You What do you want Banban to do?"

Charles pointed to the rat-powered stirring device and said, "I need Scabbers to get some exercise in this wheel."

Ron frowned and said, "But it's been very sick lately."

"Don't worry." Charles said firmly, "I'm sure Scabbers will run happily."

"Banban doesn't want to eat. If you exercise a little, you'll eat when you're hungry."

"Look at Ruby, every time she comes back from a trip abroad, she always has a lot to eat."

Ron thought it made sense, so he opened the box and poured Scabbers into the hamster wheel.

Scabbers was still shivering when he first entered the hamster wheel. After a while, he immediately started running. His speed made people worry whether the hamster wheel would emit smoke.

Ron was shocked. This was the most energetic Banban had ever been since he returned from Egypt.

Charles complained in his mind that he had used the Invisible Expansion Charm to expand the inner space of a chocolate frog box and put Harry in it. Harry took it away to play tricks on Dudley. Now Crookshanks is always with Scabbers. If he couldn't get through it, Harry would pretend to be Scabbers for Ron.

The problem is, there is nothing in the box, just a large dark room. It might as well be in Azkaban. At least Azkaban can see the sea.

Complaints were complaints, the experiment continued, and Charles kept putting the potion and powder into the beaker.

The troublesome part of this experiment is to fully dissolve the medicinal powder. In order to speed up the dissolution, it has to be stirred continuously for more than an hour. Now, with Banban's efforts, it only takes half an hour to complete.

The potion turned green and bubbled like apple soda.

Although the lead wire can be put in at this time, the bubbles will affect the efficiency. Banban has to run for more than ten minutes to make all the bubbles disappear.

The lead wire was put into the beaker, and soon a faint green flame appeared on the surface of the medicine. The reaction ended only after the flame was extinguished.

This process takes three to five days, and Charles is placed in a special cabinet.

Banban worked hard tonight, so Charles rewarded him with a starchy sausage that was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside.

"It can actually eat so much!" Ron sighed, "This is the first time I've seen him eat so much!"

The spotted rat quickly swallowed a grilled sausage that was as big as itself, and its belly was as bulging as a balloon.

Before he could burp, Ron immediately put him back into the box.

In the dark box, Peter was shaking as hard as his cell phone on vibrate, and his mind went blank for a while.

Just now when he entered the hamster wheel, a voice sounded in his ear: "Peter, the Dark Lord asked me to give you a message, start running and don't stop!"

On the way back to the common room, Hermione asked Charles, "Why are you experimenting with lead wire?"

Charles didn't want to explain more and said casually: "I can't afford gold wire."

Harry said firmly: "You must be doing this to make money."

Charles just shook his head and said: "I don't know if I can make money yet. It is possible that I will invest a lot of money and get nothing in the end."

Harry said in surprise: "This is not in line with your style!"

Hermione thought for a while and asked uncertainly: "Are you trying to please Professor Delacour?"

"Yes!" Harry suddenly realized, "I heard Hermione say that you are dating Miss Delacour, and I remember that you like older people..."

Before he could finish speaking, Charles said expressionlessly: "Harry, do you think you can let Snape extend your confinement alone by using free meals at the restaurant? The confinement will not end until the confinement is over."

Harry shut up immediately. Charles's restaurant would not officially open until a month later. He would have to be in confinement at least until then, so he wouldn't have to live another day.

Reason for extending lockdown?

Harry felt that whenever Snape tried to find an excuse, it was wrong for him to breathe.

Hermione asked Charles in a low voice: "Can you give me some explosive fluid?"

Charles frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

A little girl can turn into a cat girl with some polyjuice potion, so what are you doing with such a dangerous product?

Hermione replied: "I think that since Black can escape from Azkaban guarded by dementors, he can escape into Hogwarts guarded by dementors."

Charles nodded, which made sense, and promised to give her some after Snape prepared the explosive liquid next time.

The four returned to the common room, and Fred and George came over with sad faces and pulled Charles away.

"We're out of money."

"Help us think of ways to make money."
