A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts-Chapter 612: Roaring Tide - (1)

Chapter 612: Roaring Tide

The next day, Sirius, Lupin, and a few others stayed at the humble abode to celebrate Harry's birthday before getting busy with their own matters. Lupin, with a mysterious air, informed Harry of a significant event happening the next day. Harry immediately recalled what Hermione had told him.

"Future World' Corporation has something big happening recently... Professors will definitely be present."

On the first day of August, the Daily Prophet released a major announcement.

'Future World' Corporation successfully solved the mute spell problem!

In just two days, the concepts of exclusive wands and magical frequencies became the talk of the town. The newspaper announced that 'Future World' Corporation headquarters would be open to the public for a week, introducing a new product each day. However, exclusive wands undoubtedly stole the spotlight, capturing everyone's attention.

During the weekend, the first floor of the Sword Castle exhibition hall was packed.

The central hall was temporarily transformed into a splendid stage, surrounded by layers of people. The crowd was astonished to see the bold entrepreneurs who had previously released a series of mysterious prank products standing on the stage, acting as presenters.

Felix and Lupin stood in a corner, conversing in hushed tones.

"Do you trust them with something so important?" Felix asked, his expression peculiar.

"I've taught them for a year, and we've worked together reluctantly. They know what they're doing," Lupin smiled and said. However, as he watched the twins begin to clear their throats in a theatrical manner, he hesitated slightly and added, "Probably..."

"They're good at livening up the atmosphere," Felix remarked. The two watched the stage.

"Good morning, lads!"

"—and ladies."

"Yes, indeed, and ladies."

Fred and George, dressed in formal suits, enthusiastically addressed the wizards and mute crowd below. Many in the audience had gray hair and weathered faces.

These individuals widened their eyes, looking at the twins who were answering their own questions and coordinating with each other. Some seemed unsure if they were in the right place. Perhaps at this moment, two burly men would come up, take them away, and inform them that everything that just happened was an accident?

Fred pointed to the top, "Don't think we're being verbose. Today's speech is simultaneously broadcast through radios, and, see those cute little bugs up there? They've been through countless battles, capturing the charming and embarrassing moments of warriors during the dominance matches..."

People raised their heads, gazing at the blue Billywig beetles hovering in mid-air, flapping their transparent wings. They felt uneasy about the long stingers on their behinds.

"...Some might ask, what's the difference between exclusive wands and regular wands? Good question!"

"Let us answer that for you."

"The determination they have is what I admire the most from childhood to adulthood," Ron said.

"Oh, don't digress," Molly said, her eyes fixed on the stage. She whispered, "Look how handsome they are."

The Weasley family was all present, even Percy had taken leave. Harry and Sirius stood with them. Nearby were the Granger family, slightly off to the side for Hermione to educate her parents about the relevant knowledge.

"To avoid confusion in concepts," Fred continued, "we first need to clarify that there's no unicorn hair, dragon heartstring, or anything else hidden inside exclusive wands. They don't have a wand core."

"But it doesn't mean there's no technicality involved. I can assure you, have you seen those small gems? They aren't for decoration or showcasing personal taste. Those little things play a significant role."

"The gems on exclusive wands are categorized into three types based on function—"

"First, to capture specific, faint magical frequencies and amplify them. The specific principles have been discussed in the newspapers these past two days, and we won't go into details here."

"Second, to store magic, replacing the wizard's spell consumption, much like Muggles use batteries to store energy—I read about it in a comic book; I don't know if that analogy works for you. Does anyone understand?... I think they are similar. Additionally, these magical energies can only be triggered by specific magical frequencies."

"That aligns with the first point," George said.

"Exactly. The third type of gem contains functional enchantments; these little gadgets might store a cleaning spell or a lethal curse, who knows? I'm just joking..."

"They're quite daring," Harry commented below. Looking around, many were shocked, and even Hermione's mouth stopped moving, surprised at Fred and George, as if they had silently cast a Silencing Charm.

"Is this your first day knowing them?" Ron muttered quietly.

"At present, the wands released by 'Future World' Corporation range from ten to fourteen inches. Compared to regular wands, they have a grip and shaft, but with an additional row of gems. These gems are connected through alchemical techniques to the wand material, with a maximum of nine gems."

"Yes, it's not easy to squeeze all these things together. But we can look forward to future products. I know Muggles have a communication device with buttons; imagine pressing a button, triggering magic..."

"Now, let me demonstrate several products for you, one by one. Please welcome my assistant—Lee Jordan." Fred theatrically extended a hand. A dark-skinned young man came on stage, his head adorned with tightly braided small plaits.

"Thank you, you can also call me by my code name—Old Spice," Lee Jordan said excitedly.

"We are in some secret underground organization?" Fred asked with interest. "Then what should I name myself? How about Old Rat?"

"Absolutely not—I hope it's Old Sword."

George took over the conversation—

"In Lee's hands is the Lifestyle Wand. It can meet most daily needs, such as washing, cooking, moving things, and driving away gnomes from the garden—let me add, this was our strong recommendation to include. If your thinking is broad, you'll discover that it can drive away more than just gnomes."

Lee Jordan waved the wand, and the gems lit up. He commanded a row of magical puppet males to perform a lively tap dance, then had a heavy wooden box follow him, circling the stage.

"It's a bit difficult. This is my two-day practice result," Lee Jordan said.

...

"Specially designed for Aurors, Proudmoore, and combat-oriented professions, exclusive wands for combat and medical use are not currently disclosed to the public."

"Versatile wands, catering to various aspects, with an embedded disarming charm for defense. I personally think it's a bit too much... Oh, I see someone waving to me, I hope he's not coming on stage to hit me... Well, let's warmly welcome the owner of 'Future World' Corporation, Mr. Felix Harp!"

Felix walked up to the stage, wearing a gentle smile.

"I didn't come up here because of Fred and George's splendid speech. As their former professor, I don't have the habit of imposing detentions, deducting house points, assigning lines, or making them copy the sentence 'We solemnly swear to uphold the rules of the school.' Oh, that's their new motto, quite popular in school..." He spread his hands, somewhat regretfully, "Because they've already graduated."

Laughter erupted from the audience.

"Really? He looks quite skilled...," Mr. Granger asked his daughter.

"Oh, the professor is lazy; he just says things," Hermione casually replied.

"I have a more urgent reason for coming up here."
