Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

Chapter 77 Don’t lie, don’t waste your coins in the transitional chapter, it is recommended to jump to Goblet of Fire (two-in-one)

It was hard to tell whether it was because wizards couldn't stand the slow owl postman, but Grete received four reminder messages in one week.

In order to ensure continuous supply, the price of mobile phones was once raised from fifty gold galleons to two hundred galleons, but even so, demand still exceeded supply.

The shops in Diagon Alley are bustling with people from morning to night, leaving little time to stop and rest.

They say you have to become famous early. Last time, Gretel became the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin. Gretel has already gained a lot of fame in the British magical world.

With the release of mobile phones, Gretel once again entered the public eye.

Various publications all praised Gretel as the founder of a new era. His inventions made the wizards' civilization take a big step forward.

This raging fire of cooking oil continued until the magazine "Wizard's War" published an article, and it came to an abrupt end.

"McGarrett, this hateful plagiarist, will lead the wizard to the abyss."

This article does not hide its disgust towards Gretel, a Muggle-born wizard.

Wizards' War is a well-known anti-Muggle magazine and is popular among wizards who respect pure-blood ideals.

During the period when the Dark Lord was raging, the Wizarding War was the main public opinion position for the Death Eaters.

The article mentioned that Gretel had plagiarized technology from Muggles, and also focused on the history of the development of mobile phones in the Muggle world.

At the end, the article also made alarmist predictions that Gretel, a Muggle-born wizard, had evil intentions.

He just wants to use this shameful little trick to assimilate the wizards, so that everyone will be paralyzed by the new technology, and finally kill all the wizards in one fell swoop.

Faced with this accusation, Gretel laughed out loud. It seemed that he was doing the right thing. In order to refute him, even the anti-Muggle pioneer War of Wizards magazine was forced to understand Muggles.

In fact, even if the Wizarding War didn't pop up, Grete himself would anonymously submit articles to major newspapers and periodicals to make the stagnant wizarding world boil.

Only when there is excitement can there be topics. Only with topics can the new thing of mobile phones break out of England, break out of Europe, and rush to the whole world.

A world of stagnant water is never conducive to the spread of new things.

If Gretel, an outsider, had not appeared in the wizarding world, and if it developed for another hundred or thousand years, wizards would not necessarily be willing to cast their sights on Muggles.

As the Wizarding War launched the first shot against Gretel's monopoly, the British wizarding world seemed to have suddenly awakened, and anti-Grettor winds arose everywhere.

Not only that, every few days, a store will appear, claiming to be the inventor of mobile phones, and launching the mobile phones they made.

In Gretel's team, starting from the veterans like Penelo to the new members, everyone is in panic.

Of course Gretel knew why.

After the holidays, in order to free this core group from the heavy hoarding work, Grete hired many assembly line workers.

Many of them were children of various families, and Penello strongly requested that after signing a contract with them, he would teach them how to assemble the configuration.

In the end, Gretel refused.

For this reason, Penello was sulky for a long time and almost earned herself the title of a cold-faced witch.

Until February 19, Penello smiled at others for the first time in a long time.

February 19, 1993 was a Friday. Since the morning, Grete had been keenly aware that something was going to happen today.

Whether it was Terry's roommates or the seniors he knew well, the first time he saw Gretel was to give him a big hug.

Even in Professor Flitwick's Charms class, he was taught the Fireworks Charm that Principal Dumbledore once cast in the auditorium.

However, this lesson has been learned in the previous school year. The next lesson after learning the Fluorescent Spell is the Fireworks Spell, an advanced version of the Fluorescent Spell, which can form the pattern you want according to the wizard's will.

Gretel raised his question in class, but the professor's answer to him was that you should review what you have learned from time to time, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to find out that you don't know it when you need it urgently.

Gretel was confused when he heard this. He really couldn't think of any urgent need for the fireworks spell, and there was no celebration this month.

Valentine's Day has passed long ago, and the two lovers have already mixed together.

Until after dinner, Gretel rushed to the Room of Requirement speechlessly amid the strange looks in the eyes of a group of people.

No matter which grade, there are usually no classes on Friday night, so the meeting of Gretel Team is usually held at this time.

Everyone gathered around a round table to communicate with each other about the problems they encountered this week, and finally handed over the issues that everyone was undecided to to Gretel for him to make a decision.

However, on this strange Friday, when Gretel went to the conference room of the Room of Requirement as scheduled, he found that there was no one at the huge round table.

Not only that, but a note was left on the table, which said that after a vote by everyone in the team, tonight's meeting was cancelled.

As soon as he saw the handwriting, Gretel knew that this matter had something to do with Penello.

Sure enough, when he turned around and walked out the door, a gust of fragrant wind filled his nose, and Penello appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.

He also held a black eyepatch with gold patterns in his hand.

He took out his wand and tapped Grete lightly.

The wizard's robe, which was almost touching the floor, turned into a decent dress, and the light and practical dragonhide boots under his feet also became dark and shiny.

The school badge on the chest is embellished with light, and a silk scarf that seems to be dyed in the Milky Way is stuffed into the chest pocket.

? ? ?

Gretel looked at Penello confused.

If it weren't for the fact that her clothes didn't match him, he would have thought that this senior sister he had been with for a long time was trying to force him to get married.

"Put it on." Penello didn't explain, but just put the blindfold into Grete's hand.

Grete recalled the strange things he encountered today and shrugged. It seemed that he had been tricked.

If you have nothing to do today, just play with them and see what they want to do.

Putting on the blindfold and seeing darkness in front of his eyes, Gretel pulled out his wand and motioned for Penello to take him away with the wand.

A soft and warm hand grasped his hand. Somehow, before Gretel was nervous, the hand holding him began to sweat slightly.

"She must be afraid that the prank will fail. She has worked hard for so long, so she can cooperate later." Grete thought as she walked.

I don’t know how many times I have walked this road. Even though he was blindfolded, Gretel was still keenly aware that the place they arrived was a restaurant.

However, the scent of flowers in the air made Gretel's nose itchy.

Finally, a gust of wind blew, and the tip of Penello's hair scratched his nose, and a deafening sneeze echoed in the restaurant.

Lily, rose, lavender, iris, kapok, datura, phoenix tail...

As a master of potions, Gretel can identify dozens of types of flowers just through his nose, many of which can even be used to make advanced potions.

Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that we can’t give them too much dividends, each one is too wasteful, Grete complained secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance made Grete's whole body tense up.

What he smelled was wheat grains, wheat grains that had just matured and exuded the aroma of ripe grains.

He was suddenly a little nervous. Things like wheat grains usually only appeared in one place, and that was the wedding scene of newlyweds.

Thinking of this, Grete pulled off the blindfold from the bridge of his nose.

Terry, this guy, was shaking a handful of wheat grains next to his head.

"Look, I said, Gretel will definitely be fooled..."

Fireworks shot up into the sky following the wands of the group, mixed with Gretel's image and the words "Happy Birthday".

Penello held a bouquet of flowers and delivered it to Gretel, then whispered into his ear, "Happy birthday, Chief Gretel!"

After the generous hug, Penello withdrew, and immediately Seni rushed up with a group of people, lifted Grete up and threw him into the air.

To be honest, it's no wonder that Gretel can't remember his own birthday. With the conditions of St. Mary's Welfare Home, let alone celebrating birthdays for every child, even groups of children cannot afford to celebrate them collectively.

So since traveling to this world, Gretel has not celebrated her birthday.

At most, during lunch on February 19th every year, you will find an extra piece of fried egg or meat in the bowl.

But he had never even eaten this piece of meat. When the little girls who were smaller than him were watching eagerly, it was difficult not to share the delicious food with them.

As for wheat, during the sleeping session with Terry and the others in the dormitory, Gretel said that his favorite smell was the mixture of wheat and flowers.

The smell of wheat and flowers means that a couple is getting married, and they, the children in the orphanage, will have meat and fish to satisfy their cravings.

A cake that is bigger than a person has been the dream of all the children in the orphanage since childhood.

During this year's Christmas vacation, he ordered one for those eager children, and was even complained by Mrs. Swann about wasting money.

How did Mrs. Swann know that with Grete's current net worth, he could easily afford to feed her in the orphanage every day?

But after all, these children will be adopted by others in the future, and good living conditions will cause great trouble to subsequent adopters.

Therefore, it is enough to ensure that you have enough food and clothing and adequate nutrition.

But unlike the Muggle cake he ordered for the children in the orphanage, the Hogwarts Castle cake in front of him had a wonderful magical atmosphere.

In the black lake is the fragrant and fragrant cocoa sauce, and the giant squid made of black chocolate is lazily leaning on the shore.

The tiny candy fireworks above the castle bounced up into the sky like a perpetual motion machine, and then happily shattered into meteors and stuck to the crispy shell on the surface of the castle.

After passing through the movable door, you can see the lifelike armored guards in the castle, carrying weapons and guarding the cake Hogwarts underneath you.

Birthday candles, representing age, are cleverly made into magical torches that never go out on the castle walls.

After everyone put Gretel down and stepped onto solid ground.

From Seni to Terry to Cedric, a group of people came up to give him a big hug, and everyone sent him their blessings.

"From now on, we will celebrate your birthday every year with you."

Gretel's nose was a little sore, and he sniffed but said nothing.

Until Dean Professor Flitwick approached.

Professor Flitwick was a bit short, and he didn't even see Gretel when he walked up to him.

As a last resort, Professor Flitwick had no choice but to draw out his wand and tap him.

Grete burst into tears, "Professor, what kind of spell did you cast? It hurts too much to hit me."

He leaned down and lay on Professor Flitwick's shoulders.

Professor Flitwick had a dark look on his face, and finally shook his head helplessly, shouldering the blame.

From the moment he came to this world, Gretel felt like a traveler passing through.

Mrs. Swann gave him family affection, and now these people gave him friendship.

If Penello had not inquired about it, none of them would have known that Grete had never celebrated a birthday since he was a child.

You know, even Ron Weasley, whose family is relatively poor, gets a sweater or scarf knitted by Mrs. Weasley on his birthday every year.

There will also be a small but exquisite enough cake to celebrate birthdays.

So when Penelo told them the news that he was going to celebrate Gretel's birthday.

Everyone came up with ideas happily. They said they wanted to give Gretel an unforgettable birthday surprise.

The idea of ​​pranking Grete came from Terry, a roommate who lived with him day and night. Who knows how Terry, a careless and unlucky kid, came up with such a strange idea.

However, no one can stop it.

After all, except for appearance and age, Gretel bears no resemblance to other children his age.

They also wanted to see if Gretel would be tricked.

After getting along for a year and a half, everyone, whether they were classmates or professors, regarded him as an adult as they should.

Flitwick had answered this question from other professors at a teachers' meeting. At that time, he said that children who have experienced hardship will always appear to be particularly precocious.

Although this statement is not so convincing, it still makes people less concerned about this issue.

When people have an anchor, time will pass quickly.

When the final exam week came, the mobile phone market was in the hands of pirates one after another, and it rushed out of the United Kingdom, Europe, and even as far away as the Americas across the ocean. Traces of mobile phones also appeared.

According to statistics compiled by Penello's father, in less than half a year, the number of mobile phones in various continents has reached nearly half a million.

In order to occupy more of the market, pirates started a price war, which once dropped to 25 gold galleons per unit.

Even so, the average price of mobile phones remains at around 50 Galleons.

Among the 500,000 units, the number of terminals sold by Grete Communications Company is less than one percent.

The cost of the mobile phone, including labor and materials, was only 5 Galleons. In other words, because Gretel gave up confidentiality, the communication store's losses were as high as 20 million Galleons.

It is roughly equivalent to the savings accumulated by a Malfoy family for dozens of generations.

Ever since this data was calculated, Penello, the great butler, has never smiled at all.
