I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 359 Magic and Electric Energy

Alcohol is indeed an interesting thing because it can always bring people closer together inadvertently.

After a few glasses of wine, both Arthur and Mr. Granger were impassioned. Even Percy, who had always been taciturn and silent, became more talkative.

"Uncle Arthur, I remember you still have a radio station at home? Can it play songs by the Weird Sisters?"

After successfully getting closer, Ian also changed his title from Mr. Weasley to Uncle Arthur.

If it weren't for taking care of the twins' feelings, he would have called Arthur Brother. It was so relaxing and comfortable to get along with this middle-aged man.

"Radio station?" Arthur was stunned for a moment, but after hearing the Weird Sisters song being played, he understood what the other party was talking about.

"You mean that tape recorder, I found it in the contraband warehouse..."

Ian didn't know what to say. Listen to this. Taking something from the Office of Misuse of Muggle Articles' contraband warehouse?

It's like going into the kitchen at home and picking up a potato, without any scruples.

He was a little confused about Arthur, whether he was really too ambitious or too confident.

However, Ian still prefers the second option. After all, middle-level officials like Arthur in the Ministry of Magic are like carps crossing the river, but very few can get tickets to the top box.

No matter how poor his position at the top level is, being qualified to get the top ticket is undoubtedly a kind of energy.

"So, it's just an ordinary tape recorder?"

After listening to Arthur's explanation, Ian looked a little strange.

"What else? But you have to record the tape yourself. If you also like the Weird Sisters, I can let Molly lend you the tape to take back and record. But you must protect it, because it is her heart..."

Little did they know that their conversation fell into the ears of Mr. Granger, which aroused countless interests in the middle-aged dentist, and his eyes instantly became bright.

A song from the wizarding world?I wonder if it will be the same as Veela dance...

Ian glanced at his prospective father-in-law. He knew exactly what he was thinking, but he obviously had no time to care about Mr. Granger. He wanted to figure out the problem with the recorder first.

"Ordinary tape recorder? I remember the Burrow didn't have electricity, Uncle Arthur."

"Don't you know that Muggles have something called a battery?" Arthur looked at Ian with a very magical look, showing sympathy, pity, and a little bit of curiosity...

"Bill sends his mother a whole box of new batteries every year. Two finger-sized pieces are enough for Molly to use for a long time."

Ian couldn't stand the embarrassment at the scene, Arthur's inexplicable pity eyes, the suppressed smiles of Mr. Granger and Percy... It was impossible to chat, so he decided not to beat around the bush.

"Yes, I know about batteries! I mean is magic supposed to conflict with Muggle items? It's like an alarm clock with a battery in it, it never moves at Hogwarts."

……

The atmosphere between the two families was very harmonious. In the small circle formed by the Patil sisters, Hermione and Ginny, laughter as clear as silver bells could always be heard from time to time.

Granger and Molly, it seemed that the housewives had endless topics to talk about.

As for Harry and Ron, they had already followed the twins out to sell goods, euphemistically saying: The Carnival is theirs, and the Galleons are ours.

Harry followed simply to join in the fun. After all, after living a restrained life at his aunt's house for the past ten years, what he yearned for most was this kind of unfettered freedom and joy.

Similarly, the twins whose net worth has soared are also joining in the fun. To put it bluntly, the two of them just can't take any time off. Many of the candies and gadgets they hoard are half-sold and half-given away. This was something they never dared to think about before.

<divclass="contentadv">Only Ron is serious about doing business. Even though his salary is pitiful, he has not forgotten his 'huge' debt - he borrowed 50 Galleons from Harry to buy a blind box for the doll last year.

……

"In other words, the use of Muggle items depends on the surrounding environment?"

After half an hour of communication, Ian understood the underlying rules here.

Arthur put down his wine glass and smacked his lips with some emotion: "Otherwise, a little Muggle-born wizard can't have to light candles for lighting after returning home during the summer vacation."

Hearing this humorous reply, Ian couldn't help but smile. He knew that Arthur was right. He had entered a blind spot in his thinking and made a common sense mistake.

Whether the electricity operates normally depends on the surrounding environment. If there are too many wizards living in a place, the electricity will inevitably be disturbed. Not to mention the 11 magic schools, Hogsmeade alone can explain everything.

Hogsmeade, a village composed entirely of wizards, where electricity and technology cannot be used normally.

"It's really magic like a fairy tale, and the rules are so simple... It's just a competition to see who has more people." Ian sighed secretly.

Speaking of this, he remembered the Burrow in the original book, which was located outside the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devonshire. It was a typical Muggle village in the English countryside.

The only wizards around the Burrow were Cedric and Luna, who were still separated by a mountain.

So, batteries aside, if the Burrow was actually connected to an electrical circuit, it wouldn't be surprising for the Weasleys to watch TV.

After a conversation, while completely clearing up the confusion, it also dispelled the last worries in Ian's heart.

It’s hard to imagine what the future ecological city will look like without electricity.

If Muggle civilization lost electricity, it would be an exaggeration to say that it would be set back 500 years.

……

At the bar in the corner of the living room, several people gradually slowed down their progress after drinking several bottles of famous wine.

Mr. Granger and Arthur seemed to be naturally in tune with each other. The two of them sat together and perfectly explained what it meant to meet a close friend when a thousand cups are too short.

One was talking about magic, the other was talking about technology, and they were both talking about themselves.

The main thing is, don't care whether you understand or not, I will say it happily anyway. That is a harmonious atmosphere and a happy conversation.

Percy and Ian looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

"I never asked, what are your arrangements after graduation? Didn't the Ministry of Magic send you an invitation letter?" Ian asked leisurely.

Even though he missed the Goblet of Fire, Percy's performance was still remarkable, especially in the last game. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it: a crime other than war.

In the third game, the rules and venue were geared against Percy, and Fleur and Krum also joined forces from the beginning.

All factors combined, no one in Hogwarts, or even the British Isles, blamed Percy.

"I'll report to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in two days." Percy replied calmly, but if you could ignore the involuntarily raised corners of his mouth.

"Awesome! Congratulations, Percy." Ian also sent his blessing.
