Chapter 257 Ms. Glove’s Private Theater

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xiao stood in the empty bathroom, took out the time turner, and put the thin golden chain around his neck.

There were no more than eight hours a day, and one hour was used for the experiment, that is, seven circles.

Zhang Xiao twisted the time turner, counted seven turns, and then let go. The time turner shook violently, and the movement was much louder than when it turned once.

A huge pulling force came from his back, pulling him into the air. The surrounding scene was too blurry and turned into colorful blocks, as if someone had knocked over a paint bucket.

When his feet touched the ground again, Zhang Xiao found that he was already standing on the marble steps of the auditorium. The sunlight filtered through the tall windows and left beams of light in the empty front hall.

Little bits of dust are looming in the beam of light.

"Good afternoon, MR Zhang."

Professor McGonagall stood on the second floor platform holding a thick piece of parchment and looked at him in surprise.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said hello.

"If I remember correctly, you should be taking Care of Magical Creatures class right now."

Professor McGonagall's stern gaze passed over her glasses, and she pursed her lips.

His eyes fell on the thin gold chain around Zhang Xiao's neck, and the murderous look on his face softened:

"It looks like you've been using it, right? How many hours?"

"Seven hours."

"Seven hours?" The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth that had just been curled up were straightened immediately: "We generally recommend that little wizards use it for no more than an hour.

The 7-hour experience was too much of a burden. "

She walked down thumpingly and said worriedly:

"Zhang, I don't know why Dumbledore would allow you to use the time turner in this way, but you must remember that if you feel uncomfortable, please stop using it immediately.

It's not that the Time Turner has never caused casualties. On the contrary, the Ministry of Magic has suffered a lot because of its misuse. "

Zhang Xiao nodded. Professor McGonagall is the dean that young wizards can trust at any time:

"I remember, Professor."

Mag stared at him for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end she shook her head and left holding the parchment. She could still vaguely hear her muttering:

".Too ridiculous."

Zhang Xiao watched Mag's back disappear around the corner, and then walked briskly towards the distance.

He didn't know what the energy source of the time turner was, but it was really scary. He touched his wand. Miraculously, the wand was still there, but the Universe Bag was not.

Zhang Xiao had thought about this problem as early as the first time he looked back. If you want to say why, it is that the wand is connected to his own blood, more like an extension of his limbs?

The Slytherin common room was deserted, but the first-year wizards were content because they had the large room to themselves and even sat in armchairs by the fire.

This is the best seat in the entire lounge.

Two or three little wizards were playing wizard chess at the table, head to head.

They glanced at Zhang Xiao, as if they were wondering why the boss of the college didn't go to class. They didn't dare to ask, so they could only show him a big smile.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand casually in return.

He took the Qiankun bag he had left there from the dormitory, turned around and walked directly towards the Room of Requirement.

Zhang Xiao was not sure whether Ms. Glove was a Horcrux or her origin.

But he could ask people.

When I was communicating with Dumbledore during the summer vacation, I made a sideways question about the Room of Requirement.

Dumbledore smiled happily, still looking like the old Riddler.

"Zhang, that lady is willing to appear in front of you?

Hmm - very good.

You were the first to see this lady among the little wizards who discovered the Room of Requirement, except of course the Headmaster.

As for the safety issue you are concerned about, I can only say that that lady is admirable, very noble and kind, and you don’t have to worry about what she will do - "

Listen, listen to the speech of this riddle, just like grandpa. Grandpa said that there are some things in this world that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. The Heavenly Master is in the mind.

As for Dumbledore, hey, he just won’t say anything.

It's still the familiar bedroom, with the lady's gloves hanging in the air with her hands folded in a very ladylike posture.

The parchment floated over leisurely, and a line of beautiful handwriting showed:

"Long time no see. What type of room do you need this time?"

Zhang Xiao returned the gift and patted the Qiankun bag between his belt:

"Thank you for your help. I have learned the Patronus Charm. I am here to fulfill my promise. Do you remember that I said I would get you a set of movie equipment?"

The movement of the lady's glove paused, and after a while, new writing appeared on the parchment:

"Have you learned the Patronus Charm? Can you show it to me?"

"no problem."

Zhang Xiao readily agreed. The wand drew a graceful arc in the air, and the silver carp squeezed out of the wand.

It swam back and forth around him, its long beards swaying and its fins flapping, just like a living creature.

The lady's gloves were suspended quietly in the air, like an elegant woman standing there, looking at the scene in front of her with a smile.

It's strange. Although there is only one pair of gloves, Zhang Xiao feels that the lady's gloves are smiling.

"A very beautiful patron saint, and also very powerful. It seems that your past is surrounded by happiness and warmth."

The writing on the parchment paused, and then continued:

"Film equipment? Is there anything you need me to do?"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "You may need a separate room."

Lady Gloves made a please gesture.

"First, I need an empty room."

Zhang Xiao recalled the settings of the private theater.

Following his imagination, the surrounding environment quickly distorted and transformed.

The chandelier on the ceiling swayed and retracted, the fireplace flipped over, the wallpaper on the wall shook, and cracks appeared on the floor, revealing a soft carpet.

After shrinking, the furniture jumped into the wall, as if it had jumped into water, causing ripples on the wall.

What finally appeared in front of Zhang Xiao was an empty room with carpets.

"Next, I want two very comfortable armchairs and a coffee table -"

Zhang Xiao rolled up his sleeves, waving his hands in the air as if he were conducting an orchestra, and said his request cheerfully.

The leather armchairs are like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, 'jumping' out of the ground, swaying and getting bigger.

"Hmm - the wall seems a bit small"

As soon as he patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, the wand seemed to be pulling invisible threads - it looked more like he was directing the ensemble.

The packaged curtain was fished out of the Qiankun bag and hung on the wall obediently. Although the white wall can also be used as a curtain.

But professional movie screens reflect light better and have higher clarity.

Zhang Xiao turned around and waved the wand again:

“There needs to be a higher screening room here – oh, and there needs to be a place to install the generator equipment next door.”

One after another, the same things flew out of the Qiankun Bag, spinning and jumping in the air, and one by one they landed where they should be.

“Finally, we need some green plants, otherwise it will be a bit boring.

Hmm - it would be nice to have some tea on the side. "

Then some flower pots and a small round table appeared on the wall, with exquisite tea sets placed on the round table.

Zhang Xiao looked at the private theater in front of him with satisfaction.

Between the two armchairs is a coffee table, a 120-inch curtain hangs in front, and the floor is a soft carpet.

Perfect!

Lady Gloves kept watching quietly. After everything was over, she wrote on the parchment:

"Is that enough now? Movie, what is it?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile:

"So ma'am, may I have the pleasure of treating you to a movie?"

There seemed to be an invisible figure smiling:

"sure."

Magic is always so convenient. Under the silencing spell, the roar of the generator is as quiet as if it has not started.

A bright beam of light shot out of the projection room. Zhang Xiao originally wanted to buy a VCD, but to be honest, the picture quality of VCDs is still not as good as a mature and stable film projector.

And there were too many electrical devices, unlike now where you only need to drive a projector.

The 35mm projection machine has good colors and stable imaging, even better than digital projectors.

As for excellent digital projectors, you have to wait until 2002 to use xenon light sources. By that time, digital projectors were clearer and more stable.

Although it is a private theater, it is still a theater. Who knows the style of using an old-fashioned projector?

Zhang Xiao clumsily replaced the film tray. This was not an era in the future where you could just press a remote control.

A small piece of film actually contains a lot of things. Zhang Xiao also learned that the two rows of grids on the top and bottom of the film are the same thing, which are actually vocal cord films.

It's still Dolby's 5.1 channel.

Movie projectionist was a pretty good job in the past.

Even though I have learned how to use it, I am still a little confused in actual operation.

Fortunately, magic helped a lot. After successfully completing the preliminary preparations, Zhang Xiao felt a little embarrassed:

"I'm a little unskilled, but I've done everything I need to do. You can just change the film later."

The lady's gloves waited quietly, just writing on the parchment:

"good"

Zhang Xiao coughed twice tactically, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers:

"start!"

The projector slowly rotated, and a beam of light hit the curtain.

First there was the slight sound of electricity.

Accompanied by the music, a snowy mountain appeared on the curtain, surrounded by a circle of stars.

This is the Paramount Pictures logo.

"Roman Holiday" is a pretty classic love movie.

Its star, Ms. Audrey Hepburn, passed away last year, which also aroused the memory of movie fans.

The classic films she starred in have become the best channels for many movie fans to recall.

Only on the screen, Hepburn, who proposed that 'elegance never goes out of style', will remain in everyone's memory forever.

Zhang Xiao had watched this movie in his previous life, so he paid more attention to the Glove Lady.

Either don't do it. Since you do it, you have to get a good impression from the boss.

Fortunately, the mood of The Glove Lady is quite good, especially the scenes where Hepburn's Princess Anne and Peck's Joe roam the streets of Rome to a brisk soundtrack.

The gloved lady's fingers were tapping gently to the beat, looking very happy.

In the end, Joe fell in love with the princess unknowingly during the next interaction with her.

In order to protect the image of the princess, Joe gave up the opportunity to sell his morality in exchange for money and gave Princess Anne his secretly photographed photos of the princess's life.

After Princess Anne experienced a one-day vacation in Rome, she realized her responsibility to the country and resolutely returned to the embassy, ​​resolutely abandoning love for the sake of her responsibility.

After the movie ended, Zhang Xiao smacked his lips. In fact, he wanted to complain when he watched it in his previous life.

What does it mean to fall in love with a princess unknowingly while getting along with her?

This is Audrey Hepburn, the woman who kept Givenchy single all her life.

At that time, the whole world was amazed by the beautiful woman who was beautiful in her bones but not in her skin.

Who is not confused? Still want to get along? Still unconscious?

Just skip the process and fall in love directly.

He sighed, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that something was wrong with the glove lady, and the two gloves were mixed together hard.

Looking confused and angry.

The parchment flew over, and large sections of text appeared on it:

"Why is there no more?

I just used a magic spell to get them back, but it didn't work. Obviously portraits can be used.

I still want to see it! "

Zhang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only explain patiently:

"Ma'am, this is a movie. It's Muggle stuff. It's not the same thing as the wizarding world's portraits. They were recorded -"

Zhang Xiao thought for a moment and took out another roll of film and pulled out a section: "You see, it's like drawing on it and then connecting them one by one. This is a Muggle movie."

Ms. Gloves was stunned, and several very forceful words appeared on the parchment:

“So there’s nothing down there, right???”

"This. Yes"

"But why can't we be together? Is it forbidden for Muggles to get married?"

ah? Is the lady wearing gloves still a happy ending party?

Before Zhang Xiao had time to speak, Ms. Gloves had already continued to spit out long paragraphs:

“Can you ask them to continue filming?

I want to see them get married, have their own children, and live happily together. "

The Glove Lady snapped her fingers, and a huge box appeared in front of her, just like a pirate's treasure chest in the movie.

After opening it, there were piles of gold galleons inside.

In other words, Classmate Zhang is a man who is not short of money, but he has never seen so many Galleons piled in front of him.

"I can pay them to continue filming. Is that what you mean?"

This is the truth, but the problem is...

Zhang Xiao said cautiously:

"Ma'am, both of these people have passed away. This movie was filmed 40 years ago."

The lady's gloves hung down, like a lady hanging her head in disappointment.

"Already dead?"

Fortunately, Ms. Gloves was a boss after all. She quickly regained her former elegance and calmness and wrote on the parchment:

"Okay, thank you. In fact, I should have figured it out a long time ago. It's just that I've been carrying it alone for too long.

hope you do not mind. "

It was impossible to mind anything. Zhang Xiao suddenly thought that in two years when Titanic was released, Ms. Gloves would rush into the bottom of the sea to find the ship and become the most 'brave' fan.

Ms. Glove's mood suddenly became better again. She seemed to be still immersed in the movie just now, and asked curiously:

"Are there many movies for Muggles? I think I have enough time to watch them."

Zhang Xiao patted the Qiankun bag, and boxes of film flew out and lay flat on the ground.

He directly moved over all the classic movies from these years, although the speed of human beings may not be able to make movies as fast as the speed of the Glove Lady.

But then there were TV series.

In the following time, Zhang Xiao patiently taught Ms. Glove how to replace the film, as well as the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment.

What maintenance and upkeep can compare to ‘restoring it like new’?

When Ms. Gloves was a little clumsy, she successfully changed the film and started playing it with the help of magic.

Zhang Xiao let out a sigh of relief. The boss looked very happy. It seemed that he had successfully improved his favorability level.

Next comes another task.

If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools!
