Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 158 It's Different Now
The atmosphere on the table suddenly became more relaxed.

The previous embarrassment disappeared like a thin cloud.They enjoyed this Christmas lunch very happily, and the house elves took turns bringing them beautifully cooked food.

Lalo knew very well that William didn't like to serve a bowl full of vegetables before eating, so he skipped the usual cold appetizers and salads, but paid special attention to the rest of the session.

After the risotto, there is a very delicious onion soup, sprinkled with black pepper and chopped thyme, drinking it warm.And then, there is a Porter House steak (PorterHouse), which has a clean beef bone, one side is filet, and the other side is tender and amazing sirloin.

"You know what? Actually, I hated you very much at first."

Penello said suddenly.

His words made William tense suddenly.

"I used to love Quidditch, and before I came to Hogwarts, I even thought about being a professional player, you know, for the Ballycus Bats, or the Tuthill Tornadoes kind of thing. "

The two Quidditch teams mentioned by Penello, William only had some impressions, as if the Ballycast Bat Team is one of the teams that make up the current Irish Quidditch national team.

"But one bastard keeps saying that flying on a broomstick is a stupid thing to do because broomsticks are inefficient for things like that, and"

She glanced at William, apparently the instigator was sitting across from her.

"And the customer experience while flying is so poor, only a real fool would want to waste tons of Galleons on a broom instead of enrolling himself in an Apparition class or buying an extra pot Floo powder."

William completed her statement.

"I just got a Comet Ten as a Christmas present then. But Quirrell taught us a lot of your articles in Muggle Studies class."

Penello bit her lower lip lightly, as if he was hesitating to continue the conversation, or to gently elbow William who poked his own wound.

"But I'm right, aren't I?"

William's views on broomsticks certainly haven't changed.

Although this kind of thing can be regarded as a very good single-person flying machine in the world of ordinary people, but this kind of transportation appeared thousands of years ago, and it is simply bubbling in the world of wizards.

Although with the development of history, the craftsmen who made the broomsticks came up with the "cushion curse", which can provide wizards sitting on the broom with a "reliable but not uncomfortable" succession, so that they will not suffer from some special diseases. However, they still haven't solved the user experience of being covered by the oncoming wind when flying at high speed.

As an experience option, the Quidditch Boutique offers a pair of sturdy goggles.

In fact, in the world of wizards, even if apparitions and Floo powders are not mentioned, from the perspective of aircraft, there are already better substitutes for flying broomsticks—almost every qualified graduate from Ifrmony All students can master a flying spell that allows them to turn into a puff of smoke and fly fast, and a similar spell seems to be the Death Eater's patent in the UK.

The wizards have long been prepared to develop better and more convenient flying machines, but they have been bumping into the same wall, making unremitting efforts to create faster, more flexible and more expensive flying broomsticks.

"It's just because you're right that it makes me angry. Because before you brought it up, everyone, including me, thought broomsticks were a perfectly normal thing to do and not some kind of silly thing. Transportation."

Penello's words sound unreasonable, but her past views also represent many wizards now.

"After you suddenly stopped publishing the article, I was still at a loss for a long time, worried that you might have encountered some accident—but who would have thought that I found a cubicle with only one person sitting on the Hogwarts Express. "

She took a sip of the habit of her drink, her cheeks turning slightly red.

In the beginning, she helps William only because he stood up for her in Diagon Alley, and it seems like they are also fans of Heisenberg.But as time passed, her view of William changed little by little.

William is like a magician.

He is usually alone, but when he talks about the things he is interested in, he likes to talk at length, and he doesn't care whether his audience is really interested or not listening-but his words seem to have some kind of magic power, Although it sounds absurd or arrogant, when she thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case at all.

"This must be the last rabbit in the hat, or the last ribbon. Even Heisenberg, I'm afraid he can't think of more ideas."

Whenever Penello thought this way, William would always do something that made her feel novel, and even in the end, Penello was surprised to find that he turned out to be Heisenberg.

This is something that only happens in novels.

But it happened at Hogwarts.

"I couldn't stay in Ifrmony at that time, but fortunately, Professor Dumbledore gave me an option."

William explained to her why he had come to Hogwarts and why he had stopped publishing in the journals.

"How could they do this!"

Penello said angrily.

"But it's not necessarily a bad thing. Although it is indeed difficult to come to England by boat, I have gained a lot by transferring to Hogwarts, right?"

William patted her hand, and Penello didn't move away.

Although there are actually flights from the United States to the United Kingdom now, and the Ministry of Magic in the United States can be regarded as enlightened, they are still not enlightened enough to think that this is a safe mode of transportation, and insist on letting William go out of the country by boat.

"So I am actually very grateful to Professor Dumbledore. He provided me with this opportunity, and also gave me a very high degree of freedom-many things, including here, would not have been possible without his support. possible."

Recalling the experience during this period, William has to admit that Dumbledore is a very good teacher when you don't paste a lightning mark on your forehead and when you don't scare other children living in the orphanage .

"He is Professor Dumbledore after all."

Penello suddenly felt a little lost for no reason.

"But Professor Dumbledore just provided me with a stage, but the actors in this theater are what really interested me, such as a classmate who asked me to change a saying."

Thinking of Penello's angry appearance at that time, William couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.Although it only happened a few months ago, he still remembered that the first time he had that strange dream was after he and Penero worked out the love potion.

William has always had a very magical guess about why he had that strange dream and why his other self disappeared—it was because he actively wanted to participate in the world, rather than being immersed in it. An illusion in a real dream.

"That's because there was an idiot asking the wrong question at the time."

Penello glanced at William.

She still remembered William at that time, even though he came to Hogwarts, he was still like an outsider, keeping a distance no matter who he dealt with, and although there was a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, he always revealed With a sense of alienation.

"But it's different now, isn't it?"

She smiled to herself.
