In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 321 319. Weasley’s Arsenal (2-in-1)

The dinner the Weasley family entertained their guests was very sumptuous, or in other words, no matter what they ate with such a large family, it would be hard to feel shabby.

No one at the dinner table talked about the current situation in the Order of the Phoenix and the wizarding world. It was obvious that in this relaxed atmosphere, no one wanted to talk about business matters.

Charlie, on the other hand, regrets that this year's Quidditch World Cup could not be held. He has always been a good Quidditch player and was a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team before Hogwarts Castle fell. Seeker.

Arthur was also particularly interested in Muggle mechanical knowledge and asked Hermione and Jon for a lot of knowledge about cars and airplanes.

Jon felt that if Sir Stoker was still alive, then Arthur should have a lot of topics in common with him. They are both from pure-blood families, and they are also very interested in Muggle things.

After dinner, Molly took them to her room. Although the Burrow looked simple, there was no shortage of rooms. It was more than enough to pack up two rooms for Jon and the others. Gabrielle and Ginny Sharing a room.

After that, they basically spent the past few days at the Burrow playing.

George and Fred did indeed tinker with some joke magic props, but when Ginny, Jon and Gabrielle suddenly raided their secret workshop in the basement and looked at what they made, Jon became aware of them. The props made are not just for jokes.

When the secret was discovered and Ginny threatened her two brothers to tell their mother what had happened, Jon picked up one of the black balls as big as a baseball and clearly felt that there was something abnormal hidden in it. .

"When this ball explodes, it's quite powerful, right?"

Fred, who was trying to please his sister and make deals with her on various terms so that she wouldn't complain, saw Jon pick up the ball. He was startled and hurriedly took it from his hand. Seize the thing.

"Don't touch this! It's an immature experiment created by George and I. It's not perfect yet and it's too dangerous."

Of course Jon could see what the runes on the surface of the ball were engraved on. After he got the stone slab full of runes from the tower, he studied these things for a period of time, although it was not counted. Proficient, but at least able to understand something.

"You also know the danger. Doing this kind of thing in your own home is a bit too much."

George and Fred laughed twice, and they also saw that Jon understood what it was.

"Don't worry, the force we designed for it at the beginning of the experiment is very light, probably like a firecracker."

Jon looked at their entire basket of "firecrackers" and knew clearly that these things, which were only as powerful as firecrackers for the time being, could become very different as long as a few more magic words were filled in on them.

The twins also saw that Jon was not that easy to fool. They looked at each other, then coaxed Ginny and Gabrielle out of the room, and then pulled Jon to unfold "Wes" Lai’s real secret workshop”.

It was a workbench hidden in a cabinet, placed behind the black sphere. As soon as they opened the cabinet door, a table filled with various magic texts and materials appeared in front of Jon.

"This is our biggest secret, just take a look, Jon, and don't tell it, especially don't tell your parents."

George obviously had something on his mind, and he whispered that he wanted to drag Jon into the water with him.

The display of these things in the small workshop convinced Jon that these two bold twins were not studying some simple magic trick.

Jon couldn't even recognize those magic texts, which were quite advanced, and most of them were related to black magic!

The baskets of small black balls he discovered at the beginning had magic inscriptions about the blasting curse engraved on them. However, it was obvious that George and the others were very unfamiliar with their techniques, and the things they made could only function as well as the normal blasting curse. The effect of one-third of the effect is what they call "firecrackers."

This is not a trivial matter. To put it more seriously, the two brothers are conducting research on black magic in private. In peacetime, they could be imprisoned in Azkaban and fed to the Dementors.

To put it mildly, if they were doing this kind of thing in the underground storage room of their home, they might burn down the entire Burrow accidentally.

Jon picked up a small iron piece covered with magic inscriptions. He did not reprimand them immediately, but asked in confusion.

"Where did you learn these things?"

Fred coughed slightly, a proud look on his face.

"We are geniuses too! Jon, we are self-taught!"

"Oh, that's great. I'll tell Mr. and Mrs. Weasley the good news and make them happy too."

"No, no, no!"

George and Fred quickly grabbed one of Jon's arms to stop him from doing what amounted to murder.

"Okay, let's be honest." George raised his eyebrows, "You know, we have developed some very good magic props when we were in school."

"Of course I know." Jon looked at him speechlessly and still showed a proud expression, "It's really great. The great Professor McGonagall often punished you to solitary confinement because of the state of your dormitory."

"Hey, we didn't use it to play pranks on people. We could at most scare Ron at home." Fred waved his hand, "Those things are the pride of George and I, and they also greatly improved our hands-on skills. ability!"

"You know what I want to hear is the point."

"Don't worry, you have to give us some time to brag. Later, when we took the Hogwarts to sea, we didn't have the energy to do this. However, during one of the fishing competitions, we invented a 'dispersing fishing rod' ’, I wanted to give it to Justin and lie to him that it was a good rod that would definitely hit the hook, but he saw through it on the spot.”

George picked up what Fred was saying.

"Yes, it's all Fred's fault. He didn't stop Justin from putting the hook into the bucket full of fish. The fish would rather jump out of the bucket than be in the bucket with the hook. But it's always been By the time we got to Durmstrang, we had no new inventions. When we got to Durmstrang, we were honest for several days, and it wasn't until you disappeared from that castle that we "

"Relapse into old ways?"

"This is called a temporary itch!" Fred shouted, "But we also know that it is not our own territory after all, so we are very restrained in our research. We basically make things next to the frozen lake."

"But people always have to find ways to improve. No matter how talented George and I are, we can't make something out of thin air that we don't know how to do. Then we focused on Durmstrang's library, which did not prohibit us from entering. , we found many magic books in it that are different from those in the Hogwarts library."

George rubbed his hands.

"It was at that time that the old man who was guarding the library noticed us. After all, if we wanted to borrow books, we couldn't avoid him. He discovered our weirdness from the books we borrowed. Then one time he stalked us and caught us doing what we were doing by the lake.”

"At that time, we had just learned the magic words related to the blasting curse and made the first Weasley ball, which was in this basket. Fred and I discussed planning to test the explosion farther away. At that time, we We already know that the power of this thing is not low, because several times it failed and the ice on the lake was blown to pieces, and it was almost caught by the vice-principal of Durmstrang."

"The old man named Alpha caught us red-handed and got the Weasley ball we just made. He knows our research very well."

Fred patted his forehead helplessly.

"I suspect that he actually started paying attention to us early on, but he didn't make things difficult for us. He just took the ball and asked us a few questions, and then offered to give us certificates for entering and exiting the school, and let us conduct experiments outside the school. , This will not only avoid being discovered by Durmstrang’s professors, but also avoid accidents.”

"George and I were not misled by his words. We felt that he must have ulterior motives and wanted to just deal with it. Until later he found us again and said that he could sponsor us in the name of the principal of that school."

When he said this, there was obvious excitement in his tone.

Jon frowned slightly.

"In the name of the principal? That Principal Bagshot?"

"Yes, that's him." George patted his thigh and said, "He gave us a certificate that allowed us to enter and leave the school freely. It was signed with the name of the principal - Gellert Bagshot. He also gave us some commonly used information. Magic materials, and promised that they can provide any normal help as long as we need it. Even the restricted book area in the middle and upper floors of the library is open to us. Except that we cannot borrow it, we can browse it at will."

"What we need to do is to keep a copy of the complete information and finished product for them before there are any research results."

Fred whispered with his eyes rolling.

"At first we planned to agree superficially, and after getting all the benefits, we could just give them some information about prank props to cope with it. But the librarian seemed to have seen our thoughts, and he took out We have made a magic contract for us to go back and consider. If we are sure to agree to all the conditions, then we will sign my and George’s names on the contract.”

Jon stared at these two daring twins, never expecting that they would even think of doing something like that to Grindelwald and then turning their backs on each other.

"You guys signed the contract after that?"

George looked reasonable.

"Why don't we sign such a good thing? We're not working on ordinary magical joke props, Jon. You should be able to see the potential of these Weasley balls, as long as we finally perfect how to complete the magic text of the blasting curse. Unmistakably engraved on it and not conflicting with the ball itself, every Weasley ball is a complete thunderbolt explosion!"

Fred also raised a small wooden stick on the workbench that looked exactly like a wand like a treasure.

"There is also this thing, the 'anti-disarming wand'! This is also our latest achievement. Of course, this wooden stick cannot cast spells like a real wand. George and I don't have the ability to make wands like that, but we have added... A special magic spell for confusion. This magic spell is specially made for the disarming spell. As long as the wizard who carries it is hit by the disarming spell, the fake wand will fly up, and the real weapon will not be affected at all!"

Jon was attracted by his words. He took the fake wand from Fred's hand, knowing clearly that this was no longer a magic joke. If it was really as effective as Fred said, it would definitely It can be called a strategic material.

"Have you finished it completely?"

George shook his head reluctantly and told the truth.

"It's about 90% complete. Based on what we learned from Durmstrang, we have perfected the confusion spell specifically for the disarming spell engraved on the fake wand well enough, but in the real test At that time, we discovered that if the disarming spell is of normal power, this fake wand can indeed work, but if the enemy's magic is too strong, the fake wand will be disarmed together with the real wand."

Even so, this thing is already considered a finished product.

There is no way to resist the powerful disarming spell. It can only be said that the magic words George and others engraved on it are weaker. The fundamental reason is that their own magic power has not yet reached its peak state.

This is entirely a problem that can be solved later.

"and this!"

The twins didn't treat Jon as an outsider at all, and Fred took out another iron bar that looked like a TV antenna.

"This can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, but it can already meet the functions we expected from the beginning. It's called the 'Broom Hunter'."

From the name, Jon could roughly guess what it was for.

"Specifically for broomsticks?"

"Yes! Our idea is that as long as we unfold this thing, we can disable nearby broomsticks. But it is a bit too difficult to make it. We have broken several broomsticks in our experiments, all of them Durmstrang It was provided over there, but it turned out that it could only destroy the most old-fashioned side-sweep series magic brooms. The magic on those brooms was relatively simple. And the distance it could radiate was too short. It was probably centered on it and the radius was three meters. The circular area on the left and right, this distance cannot affect the broom flying high in the sky."

The more he heard their stories, the more serious the look on Jon's face became.

The things that the Weasley twins researched cannot be said to be pranks at all. As long as they can be completely produced according to their ideas and mass-produced, then they can create an arsenal in the wizarding world!
