This Hogwarts is not normal

Chapter 583: This looking glass is broken

The Dursleys' living room is not too big, and the children are very fast.

Vincent hung the last little lion ornament on the ceiling and finally completed all the arrangements.

Then there's Harry's room.

Fred and George were the first to go in.

Maybe it was something unexpected inside, but they both stood blankly at the door.

Completely different from the dark little attic last year, the expanded room is now large and bright.

The air is very fresh and there is no sour or moldy smell.

The beds are new, everything is new.

The unwrapped gifts were neatly arranged on the floor, and there was no mess in sight.

Hedwig was not in the cage, she probably went out to play with Gugu.

Percy pushed past the twins, who were equally surprised and grinning from ear to ear.

Each of his brother's rooms was filthier than the last, and even the dormitories at school were not much better.

It's new, but you can tell from a glance that it has been cared for regularly.

He said with a straight face, "Fred, George, you have to learn from Harry how to tidy up a room."

"A little bit a little bit~" The twins stuck out their tongues and jumped to the bedside to sit down.

Ron moved aside thoughtfully, letting Bill's tall body cover him as much as possible.

As expected, Percy looked back and said, "And you, Ron."

The President of the Boys' Student Union is different, his every move is full of leadership.

Bill, who was also the chairman, turned sideways, smiled and patted Ron on the back, "No one is perfect.

We can only do our best, and even if we can’t do it, it doesn’t matter.”

Serious criticism may not be useful, but sincere encouragement is the most heart-warming.

"Thank you, Bill." Ron stopped shrinking and straightened his chest slightly.

Percy lowered his head and forgot about the student body president badge on his chest, and then shifted his target to Fred and George.

The youngest brother is still saved,

The two twin brothers cannot even be cured by their parents.

When he came to the bedside and began to lecture endlessly, everyone entered the room and started setting up.

"Beep, beep, beep -"

Vincent looked over at the desk in confusion.

The sound is very regular, it should be an alarm clock.

"Harry, your alarm clock is ringing."

"Alarm clock?" Harry looked even more confused, "I don't have any other alarm clock."

He came to the desk in confusion, opened the drawer and picked up a small glass top that was flashing red light.

This was a birthday gift given to him by Ron, a pocket speculum that would light up and rotate when there was a suspicious person around.

Bill covered half of his face with one hand, "Harry, this is a shoddy product sold to wizard tourists. Don't take it too seriously."

Fred and George, who were lying on the bed looking hopeless, suddenly jumped out of bed and knocked Percy shut.

"No, no, no, this thing caught us putting beetles in your soup."

Bill twitched the corner of his mouth, "But it kept ringing from time to time after that."

The twins nodded in realization, and then took the opportunity to run out of the room.

Vincent noticed that George's right hand seemed to be holding something tightly.

Subconsciously looking towards Percy, the student union president badge was indeed gone.

He turned to stare at the speculum in Harry's hand with curiosity on his face.

I can't say it's exquisite, but it's really compact.

It's a pity that it's a fake product.

"Harry, can I take a look at this?"

"sure."

It doesn't make any noise when you hold it in your hand, and it will turn by itself when you put it on the table.

The light effects and sound effects are also up to standard, and the imitation is realistic.

Found a suspicious person...

Vincent suddenly looked out the window.

Normally, he would also think it was a fake product.

But these are extraordinary times, and who knows if Sirius is already nearby.

"What's wrong?" Harry waved his hand gently in front of him.

"This could be the real looking glass."

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

The Looking Glass is a dark magic detector invented by the 18th-century wizard Edgar Straug.

Its principle is to use the monitoring function of a special glass surface to filter out all abnormalities in the surrounding environment at all times.

Whenever hostility or black magic is detected, it will spin like a top and issue a warning with light and sound effects.

It can be called a semi-alchemical item, which just falls within Vincent's professional category.

Bill frowned as he examined the speculum carefully.

It's not that I don't believe in his ability, but it's possible that this thing is real.

There are indeed many stores in Egypt that deceive tourists, but there are also many that operate with integrity.

Vincent turned a small protrusion on the side of the speculum, and both the light and sound effects became smaller at the same time.

It will get bigger when you turn it in the opposite direction.

This is a switch used to control the detection range. Pressing it will turn off all functions.

The largest one has not been measured, but the smallest one should cover the entire house.

With a solemn expression, he came to the window with a looking glass, trying to look for suspicious people appearing nearby.

There seemed to be nothing unusual, and there were only two dads downstairs.

Is there something wrong with the sensitivity?

The monitoring range is already at its minimum, but this looking glass is still sounding the alarm.

"It's true." Vincent tried his best to relax.

He returned the turned off looking glass to Harry, "But it has a little problem, it must be broken somewhere."

The children breathed a sigh of relief.

But both Bill and Charlie seemed to notice something.

It's bad for bad, but it's true after all.

Combined with the conversation between Eric and Arthur about suspicious characters just now...

"Harry, our gifts are in the car. I'm going to get them to you now."

They looked at each other and said, "Vincent, do you need our help?"

Vincent, who had just walked out of the room, hesitated, "Of course, I can't move so many things."

Bill and Charlie are adults and can understand the seriousness of the matter.

He walked down the stairs and looked at the beautifully decorated living room.

No matter how low the probability that the suspicious person is Sirius, this is important information that should be reported to the Ministry of Magic.

He walked out of the house and came to Eric and Arthur.

"Mr. Weasley, I have some very important news for you."

The expressions of the two fathers became serious.

Arthur looked at the two sons who were following him, and saw them shaking their heads slightly and quickly looking around.

After making sure there was no one else, he lowered his head slightly and whispered:

"Okay, just tell me what you have to say."

Vincent's voice was so low that even Eric next to him couldn't hear him clearly.

"Are you sure that speculum is real?"

“The issue of sensitivity will only affect the monitoring range, but will not affect the final results.

And I didn’t disassemble it to check it carefully, so maybe its sensitivity is OK.”

Arthur whispered solemnly: "I'm going to inform them now. No matter how important things are, we should leave them until after the party."

Vincent nodded solemnly, "I understand, so only Bill and Charlie noticed something was wrong."

"Well done." Arthur patted him on the shoulder, and then met the eyes of his two sons.

There was no time to lament, if there was no problem with the sensitivity of the looking glass, then Sirius might be hiding in the Dursleys' house.

Even if it wasn't him, he would still be a hostile bad guy.
