Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 80 Confession
In the afternoon, Hardy returned to his office after finishing alchemy teaching to the third graders.

On the messy desk, there are various alchemy classics, including gun journals from the Muggle world.

The stacked parchments are filled with drawings about the structure of the "English Flash".

After repeated polishing during this period, Hardy has thoroughly finalized the gun body structure of the "English Flash", and at the same time broke through the alchemical reaction process inside the bullet.

It is not difficult to make "English Flash". The only challenge is that the material of the bullet is special, which requires the scales of the basilisk.

But fortunately, through Hardy's own arguments, all the scales owned by the basilisk have been brought over.

As long as he saves a little, on the basis of ensuring that the success rate of bullet production reaches 80%, it should not be a problem to reach the number of 1000 rounds.

He planned in his heart, what should he make after the "English Flash" is finished?
Creating this thing is never out of fun.

Also, he seemed to have to find himself a new, more powerful wand that would allow him to cast rarer special spells.

The wand I am currently using has been with me since I stepped into Hogwarts at the age of 11.

It has to be said that it has made a great contribution to dealing with the out-of-control magical animals in the Forbidden Forest and some pure-blood wizards in Slytherin.

but--

It's worn too far for simple maintenance to fix.

Although according to the public understanding, it is not easy to find a wand suitable for wizards. At the same time, according to Hardy's Uncle Garrick's theory, there is a problem of compatibility between wands and wizards.

Many wizards, probably from the time they enter Hogwarts to the time they die in old age, have to use the same wand.

However, from Hardy's point of view, this is not the case. It is not difficult for a wizard to find two or three wands that suit him in his life.

All they lack is a good wandmaker like Garrick or Hardy.

And the reason why they lack excellent wand makers is even simpler——

poor.

Hardy was sitting at his desk, reviewing the final draft of "English Flash", when there was an expected knock on the door.

"Please come in," Hardy waved his wand, put the things on the desk into a drawer, and then turned his head to look over.

Outside the office, Ginny Weasley walked in awkwardly, "Professor, I have something very important that I need to confess to you."

"Please sit down, Miss Weasley." Hardy crossed his fingers and looked at each other, "So... you were the one who left the diary in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom earlier?"

Clenching her hands into fists and tightly clutching her wizard robe, Ginny lowered her head in shame, "Yes... yes, Professor."

Hardy stood up from the chair, he took out a cup of steaming chocolate milk from the cupboard, and handed it to the other party.

"Relax, Miss Weasley, I didn't call you here to blame you." Patting the other person on the shoulder, Hardy said, "This cup of hot chocolate milk will relieve your tense emotions."

Under Hardy's guidance, Ginny sat on a plush armchair, as if sitting on the lap of a giant teddy bear.

She was like a frightened rabbit, holding hot chocolate milk in both hands, trying her best to hide her entire face behind the hot steam from the mouth of the cup.

Hardy sat across from Ginny and prepared a cup of hot chocolate milk for himself, "Miss Weasley, tell me how you got that diary?"

"When I first entered school, I found it in the book my mother prepared for me," Ginny's voice was a little trembling, "I thought someone put it in there and forgot..."

"I've been talking to Riddle in the diary a lot since last semester..."

After patiently listening to Ginny's description, Hardy took a few sips of the hot chocolate milk in his hand.

Fortunately, what the other party told Riddle was just some trivial matters that he had just entered Hogwarts.

Otherwise, his lies would not have fooled Tom Riddle, a smart Slytherin, so easily, and even made him a sacrifice for his punishment.

"What else? Miss Weasley," Hardy continued, "I noticed that you never mentioned what you talked about in the ten minutes before you fell asleep every night."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Ginny's cheeks immediately turned red like sunset, "Ah, this...I..."

She held the steaming chocolate milk in both hands, as if Hardy would lose sight of her altogether.

"Miss Weasley, Riddle's diary is a black magic item. I hope you will not hide anything from me." Hardy emphasized, "I will not mention today's conversation to others."

With Hardy's assurance, Ginny finally relaxed a little.

She drank a few sips of hot chocolate milk, her cheeks were flushed, and she hummed: "10 minutes before going to bed every day, I...I will write in my diary, thinking about him..."

"Missing him...?" Hardy's face suddenly became strange.

"Yes, yes, Professor." Ginny began to bring her legs together, coy and unease.

"His eyes are as green as a freshly pickled toad, and his hair is as black as a chalkboard."

"I wish he was mine, he's really handsome."

"He is the warrior who conquered my heart and captured my world."

Ginny hummed softly the love poems she once wrote in the diary, "It's like this, what I write is what's in my heart."

In the office, the atmosphere was a little awkward and dull.

Hardy coughed a few times, and asked, "Okay, Miss Weasley, I don't have the right to ask too much about your emotional life."

"Can you assure me that you have told me everything you talked about with Riddle?" Hardy said solemnly.

"Yes, Professor, I promise." Ginny drank all the hot chocolate milk in one gulp.

Just now, in front of Professor Ollivander, she read those nasty and shameful love poems, which almost made Ginny herself so nervous that she fainted on the spot.

After finishing the questioning of Ginny, Hardy told the other party that he must never take magic items that think independently in the future.

And signed a Madam Pomfrey's comprehensive inspection application form for the other party, which would help her rule out any possibility of black magic existing on her body.

After seeing off Ginny Weasley, Hardy couldn't help stretching comfortably.

Although the original source of Tom Riddle's diary is unclear, the series of events about the Chamber of Secrets has finally come to an end.

Hardy sat back at his desk and continued to study the refining details of "English Glitter".

On the drawings, the "English Flash" is different from other revolvers in that its barrel and chamber are separated.

Its whole is made up of following parts: gun frame, runner and its rotation, braking device and locking, percussion, firing structure.

The bottom of the gun is similar to the receiver on a general firearm, with many slots on it to combine all the mechanisms and parts, such as the barrel, frame, grip, etc.

The runner, slewing and braking device are fixed on the frame through the rotary shaft. The runner is both the chamber and the magazine. There are 10 bullet nests on it, and the runner can be replaced quickly after firing 10 times continuously.
