Chapter 321 319. Weasley's Arsenal (two in one)
The Weasley family entertained guests with a sumptuous dinner, or in other words, such a large family dined together, no matter what they ate, it was hard to make people feel shabby.
No one at the dinner table talked about the current situation of the Order of the Phoenix and the magic world. Obviously, in this relaxed atmosphere, no one wanted to talk about business.
Charlie regretted that this year's Quidditch World Cup could not be held. He has always been a good Quidditch player. He was a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team before the fall of Hogwarts Castle. Seeker.
Arthur was also particularly interested in the knowledge of Muggle machinery, and asked Hermione and Jon a lot about cars and airplanes.
Jon felt that if Sir Stoke was still alive, then Arthur should have a lot of common topics with him. They both came from pure-blood families and also had a great interest in Muggle things.
After dinner, Molly took them to her room. Although the Burrow looked shabby, there was no shortage of rooms. It was more than enough to clean up two rooms for Jon and the others. Gabriel and Ginny share a room.
Afterwards, they were mostly playing around these days at The Burrow.
Sure enough, George and Fred came up with some joke magic props, but when Ginny took Jon and Gabriel and raided their secret workshop in the basement, watching what they made, Jon noticed them The props made are not just for jokes.
When the secret was discovered and Ginny threatened her two brothers to tell her mother, Jon picked up one of the black **** the size of a baseball, and it was obvious that there was something abnormal hidden in it. .
"When this ball explodes, the power is not low, right?"
Fred, who was trying to curry favor with his sister, made a deal with her under various conditions so that she would not complain, was startled when he saw Jon pick up the ball, and hurriedly took it out of his hand. Take things away.
"This can't be messed with! It's an immature experiment made by George and me. It hasn't been perfected yet, it's too dangerous."
Of course, Jon could see what was carved on the runes on the surface of the ball. After he got the stone slab full of runes from the tower, he studied these things for a while, although it was not Proficient, but at least able to understand some things.
"You also know the danger. It's a bit too big to play this kind of thing in your own home."
George and Fred laughed twice, and they also saw that Jon understood what it was.
"Don't worry, we designed it with a very slight force at the beginning of the experiment, probably like a firecracker."
Jon looked at their whole basket of "firecrackers", knowing very clearly that these things, which are only as powerful as firecrackers for the time being, can become very different as long as they add a few strokes of rune to them.
The twins also saw that Jon was not so easy to fool. They looked at each other, then coaxed Ginny and Gabriel out of the room, and then pulled Jon to unfold the "Wes Lai's real secret workshop".
It was a workbench hidden in a cabinet, just behind the black balls. As soon as they opened the door, a table full of runes and materials appeared in front of Jon.
"This is our biggest secret in private, just take a look, Jon, don't tell it, especially don't tell your parents."
George obviously had a ghost in his heart, and quietly wanted to drag Jon into the water together.
The display of these things in the small workshop convinced Jon that the two bold twins were not studying some simple magic tricks.
Jon, who was a bit advanced in runes, couldn't even recognize them, and most of them were related to black magic!
The basket of black **** he found at the beginning had runes about the blasting spell engraved on it, but it was obvious that George and his team were unfamiliar with their techniques, and the things they made probably could only display the normal blasting spell. The effect of one-half of the effect is what they call "firecrackers".
This is not a trivial matter. On a larger scale, the two brothers are conducting research on black magic in private. In peaceful times, they could be locked up in Azkaban to feed the dementors.
Even if it’s a small thing, they make this kind of thing in the basement storage room of their own house, and if they are not careful, they may burn the entire Burrow.
Jon picked up a small iron sheet full of magic words, and instead of reprimanding them immediately, he asked suspiciously.
"Where did you learn this stuff?"
Fred coughed lightly, with a proud look on his face.
"We are geniuses too! Jon, we are self-taught!"
"Oh, that's really great. I'll tell Mr. and Mrs. Weasley the good news and make them happy too."
"Don't don't don't!"
George and Fred hurriedly grabbed one of Jon's arms to stop him from committing murder.
"Well, let's be honest." George raised his eyebrows. "You know, we used to research some great 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 punishes you for confinement because of the way your dormitory is made."
"Hey, we didn't use it to prank others, but to scare Ron at home." Fred waved his hand, "Those things are the pride of me and George, and they have greatly exercised our hands. ability!"
"You guys 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 these things. We invented a 'dispelling fishing rod' when we participated in a fishing competition. ’, tried to give it to Justin, tricked him into thinking it was a good hook, and he saw it on the spot.”
"Yeah, it's all Fred's fault. He didn't stop Justin from putting the hook in a bucket full of fish, and those fish would rather jump out of the bucket than be in a bucket with the hook. But always By the time we went to Durmstrang, we didn't have any new inventions, and when we got to Durmstrang, we were honest for several days, until you disappeared from that castle, we didn't"
"Relapse?"
"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, and basically make things by the frozen lake."
"But people always have to find a way to improve. Even if George and I are geniuses, we can't make things we don't know. Then we set our sights on Durmstrang's library, where we are not forbidden to enter , we found a lot of magic books in it that are different from those in the Hogwarts library."
George rubbed his hands together.
"At that time, the old administrator who guarded 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 stalked us one time and spotted what we were doing by the lake."
"At that time, we had just learned the runes related to the blasting curse, and made the first Weasley ball, which was the stuff in this basket. Fred and I discussed about going to a farther place for test explosions. At that time, we I already know that the power of this thing is not low, because several failures blew up the ice on the lake, and it was almost caught by the vice-principal of Durmstrang."
"The old man named Alpha caught us on the spot 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 to pay attention to us early in the morning, but he didn't make it difficult for us. He just asked us a few questions with the ball, and then proposed that he could give us a proof of access to the school, allowing us to conduct experiments outside the school. , so that not only can you avoid being discovered by Professor Durmstrang, but you can also avoid accidents.”
"George and I were not misled by his words, and felt that he must have ulterior motives and wanted to deal with it casually, until he came to us again and said that he could support 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 Headmaster? That Headmaster Bagshot?"
"Yes, that's him." George said, patting his thigh. "He gave us a certificate of free access to the school, on which was signed the headmaster's name—Gellert Bagshot. He also gave us some commonly used Magic materials, and promised that as long as we need them, they can provide any normal help. Even the restricted section of the middle and upper floors of the library is open to us, except that we can’t borrow it, we can check it at will.”
"And what we need to do is to keep a copy of the complete materials and finished products for them whenever there are any research results."
Fred whispered with his eyeballs rolling wildly.
"At the beginning, we planned to promise on the surface first, and after getting all the benefits, we can just give them some prank props and materials to deal with it. But the librarian seemed to see our intentions, and he took out I made a magic contract for us to go back and consider, if we are sure to agree to all the conditions, then sign the contract with my name and George’s.”
Jon stared at the two twins who were truly daring. He didn't expect that they would still want to do something like that to Grindelwald and then turn their faces and deny anyone.
"After that, you signed that contract?"
George took it for granted.
"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 runes of the Blasting Curse." Unmistakably inscribed on it, and without conflict with the ball itself, each of these Weasley **** is a complete thunderbolt explosion!"
Fred also raised a small wooden stick that looked exactly like a magic wand on the workbench like a treasure offering.
"And there's this thing, the 'Anti-Disarm Wand'! It's our latest achievement too. Of course, this stick can't cast spells like a real wand, and George and I don't have the skills to make wands like that, but in the stick we cast spells. A special obfuscation spell rune. This rune is specially made for the disarming spell, as long as the wizard who carries it, even if it is hit by the disarming spell, the fake wand will fly, and the real weapon will not be affected at all!"
Jon was attracted by his words, he took the fake wand in Fred's hand, knowing very clearly that this was indeed 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 done it all the way?"
George shook his head reluctantly, and told the truth.
"It's 90% complete. Based on what we learned from Durmstrang, we have perfected the confusion spell inscribed on the fake wand specifically for the disarming spell well enough, but in the real test Then we discovered that if the disarming spell was of normal strength, the fake wand would indeed work, but if the enemy's magic was too strong, it would disarm the fake wand along with the real wand."
Even so, this thing is already a finished product.
There is no way to resist the powerful Disarming Curse. It can only be said that the power of the rune engraved on it by George and the others is weaker. The root cause is that their own magic power has not yet grown to its peak state.
Wait until later, this is entirely a problem that can be solved.
"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 at the beginning. It is called 'Broom Hunter'."
Jon can roughly guess what this is for by listening to the name.
"Specifically for broomsticks?"
"Yes! Our idea is that as long as this thing is unfolded, the nearby broomsticks can be disabled. But it is too difficult to make it. We have used up several broomsticks in experiments, all of which are Durmstrang It was provided over there, but it turned out that it can only destroy the oldest sweeping series of magic brooms. The magic on those brooms is relatively simple. And the distance it can radiate is too short, probably centered on it, with a radius of three meters The circular area on the left and right, this distance can’t affect the broom flying at high altitude.”
The more he heard what they said, the more serious the expression on Jon's face became.
What the Weasley twins researched cannot be said to be a joke at all. As long as these can be completely produced according to their ideas and mass-produced, then they can create an arsenal of the magic world!
