!I love you too, Garrick!Merry Christmas! "

"Merry Christmas, let's see what your friends are sending now, shall we? I'm always curious about young people's choices."

Gwen heard that she and the old man sat on the only bench in the wand shop and opened gifts.Katie gave her a pack of Honeydukes oversized chocolate bars, and even Mr. Ollivander broke a piece and ate it with a smile.Cormac sent a bottle of ink.Cho Chang sent some feathers from a mysterious creature from the East, and Gwen asked her if she could help find them, maybe they could be used as cores for wands.When the old man saw the feather, he didn't open the gift at all, and took it into the house to study.

Gwen unwrapped the last gift, which should have come from the twins. After opening it, she found that it was a thin book - "Lazy People Make Society Progress: The Collision of Muggle Inventions and Magic", and there was a card inside.

"Dear Miss Wand:

The road to developing new products is tortuous and long. Since none of us have any new inspiration, we turned to this book at home yesterday.I hope Dad doesn't find out that this is a book he didn't get back at the Ministry of Magic.

Also, whatever Christmas present you give us, we're going to try it out for Ron, who's going to Hogwarts next year and needs some 'help' from his seniors and sisters.I think he will thank you too.

Merry Christmas!

Fred and George Weasley"

Gwen flipped through the book in surprise, and there was indeed a chapter on Muggle elevators.She looked at the card carefully again. Although the twins were almost identical, their fonts were very different.George's handwriting was round, and Fred's was as varied as his mischief.She sympathized with their little brother Ron in her heart for a second, and immediately sat back at the counter to read a book.

After the Christmas holiday, Gwen met the Weasley twins on the return train. She took Katie to sit with them in a box, and couldn't wait to share the new knowledge she learned during the holiday.

"I've read that book, so our previous thinking was correct. The moving spell is superimposed with a boosting spell, but it needs a lot of debugging, and maybe some protective magic. After all, sending a person upstairs and sending a Mice are different," said Gwen cheerfully.

Fred pretended to shake, "Oh, I'm really sad for the Hogwarts mice. They survived with difficulty under Mrs. Norris' clutches, and finally died for Miss Ollivander's invention gone."

Giggling amusedly, Katie grabbed Gwen's new pet and stroked it from start to finish.

"Look," George chewed in his brother's ear, "and she's brought a new 'weapon' to exterminate the school rats? Shall we hide Percy's Scabbers?"

"Don't say that about my dog, George." Gwen also patted the little white cat's head, "it's too young to catch mice."

"You actually named a cat Gouzi???" The twins hugged each other with a cry, "Isn't this an insult to the cat, terrible witch."

The cat in Katie's arms seemed to feel that it was too noisy. He raised his head and glanced at the two men who were entangled with each other, and barked, "Wow".

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, Katie smiled and bent over, the dog was squeezed out of her arms, Fred simply rolled under the seat, George picked up his brother while coughing, only Gwen grabbed him helplessly. Little white cat trying to run out the door.

"Don't ask, even the lady at Wonder Zoo doesn't know why it just barks."

I named it Jumping Machine

After returning to school for Christmas, Gwen felt suddenly busy.History of Magic and Potions classes had a lot of homework, and it seemed like the professors felt they weren't new students when the new year came.In addition, she also accompanied Katie to Gryffindor's Quidditch training every Wednesday. Her good friend made up her mind that she must join the team in the second grade.Gwen's research on the magic elevator is also proceeding step by step. After encouraging the twins class, they asked Professor Flitwick a few questions about how to mix spells. Now they have successfully made a relatively stable one by relying on push spells and moving spells. launcher.According to George, Professor Flitwick was very moved by the studious spirit of the two, but he didn't know why he turned to Professor McGonagall's office.

Apparently because he's a Ravenclaw, witty enough to see that you're up to no good.Gwen thought to herself, not daring to say it out loud.

"Seriously, Gwen." Fred stretched his legs in front of the fireplace to keep warm, "If this thing is not built soon, the rats in the tower will be extinct."

Gwen stayed up late yesterday to finish her long dissertation for Transfiguration, and her eyelids were fighting. "There are still many rats in the basement. To be honest, apart from Professor Snape's office and the Potions classroom, there are rats everywhere in Hogwarts."

"Don't worry, Fred. We only have real experiments left. Little sister Gwen, we promise to send you to the medical wing as soon as possible." George closed the book, urging his brother and Gwen to go back to rest .

In the evening of the second day, three figures, two tall and one short, carried a chair furtively to the most secret stairwell of the tower.

"Genius!" Gwen admired sincerely, "It's been a year since I didn't realize that there is a small staircase leading directly to the eighth floor!"

"Of course, no one knows the secrets of Hogwarts better than us." Fred and George bumped their shoulders.

Gwen took a deep breath, confirmed again and again that they would send her to Madam Pomfrey in time if there was a situation, and then sat down on the chair with dignity.

"Flying into the sky", with a whoosh, the chair took Gwen up to the eighth floor, where Fred was already waiting for her upstairs.The twins also hauled a thick old rug from Filch's office.Gwen got up and stepped over, and stood firmly on the eighth floor.The two happily clapped hands in celebration.

"Then I'm ready to go down, wish me success!" Gwen took another deep breath, and sat back on the chair as if going to the execution ground.

"Plummeted."

Things get a little more complicated.Although their spells are very successful in teleportation, the speed is always a bit fast.Gwen didn't feel anything when she went upstairs, but the weightlessness of jumping off the building made her dizzy, as if her heart was about to jump out of her stomach.When she was two meters above the ground, she saw George's terrified face, then slipped her hand and missed the chair, and fell crookedly.

The speed was so fast that she didn't have time to cast the spell. She only prayed that she would save two bones from breaking, otherwise she might get a P in the final exam if she missed too many classes.

Pa, "Uh-" With a muffled sound, Gwen realized that he hadn't fallen on the hard wooden floor, and George was breathing in pain under him.He caught himself at the last second.The boy was getting taller and thinner, and she hit her own nose when she plunged in, and now two nosebleeds were dripping onto George's robes.

"puff".

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha".

Who knows who couldn't help laughing, Gwen hurriedly wiped the nosebleed with her sleeve, and at the same time picked up the wand and gave poor Mr. Pad a fresh clean.

Fred's melodious greeting came from a distance: "Are you still alive—"

"It's alive and well—" George shouted, rolling his eyes. "Okay miss, get up from me quickly. I'm glad you're not too fat, or my ribs would be broken today."

"Sorry, sorry, George." Gwen rubbed her nose in embarrassment, "Thank you for catching me, I will definitely wrap you a big gift for April Fool's Day this year..."

"What, is it a miracle that Gwen didn't break his leg?" Fred, who ran down the stairs, asked from afar.

"...Must be twice as big as Fred's present." Gwen gritted her teeth.

"I'm looking forward to it." George also rubbed his chest, which was sore from being hit by Miss Wand's nose just now, "Before that, we'd better ask Lee Jordan what a Muggle seat belt is."

When she lay back on the bed, Gwen's nose still hurt a little. She didn't dare to treat herself indiscriminately, so she could only freeze it for a cold compress.Half-dream and half-awake, she seemed to smell that smell again from her swollen nose, a kind of laundry detergent that was popular in wizarding families, the mellow buttery smell at dinner, the malicious sweetness of burp sugar, and a little bit of gunpowder.

Before the end of the term, Gwen's invention was finally complete.The twins even cast an invisibility and neglect spell on the seat, and no one but the three could see that there was such a magic item in the corner of the tower.Gwen had to lament that the twins showed amazing talent and perseverance. They went farther than anyone else on the road of pranks.

Li Qiaodan said repeatedly that he provided the inspiration for the seat belt, but he couldn't try it out.After getting Gwen's consent, the twins took him for a ride. Li Qiaodan, who got off the chair, knelt down and asked Gwen tremblingly what it was, which was different from the elevator.

"I named it Jumper." Miss Ollivander smiled harmlessly.

With the beloved jumping machine, Gwen had a good time in the first exam quarter at Hogwarts, and could sleep an extra 10 minutes a day.In addition to the evil exams at the end of the term, there is also bad news that Gryffindor lost to Slytherin in this year's Quidditch match.Professor McGonagall was gloomy for two whole weeks, and Gwen noticed that she was deliberately avoiding Professor Snape.And the corners of the latter's eyes and brows were filled with a little reserved pleasure.

So in addition to accompanying Katie for half an hour every day to scold Slytherin's shark-toothed Flint (because he knocked Angelina off the broom), Gwen also went to the common room to comfort the Weasley twins.It is said that Gryffindor's ace Seeker Charlie is about to graduate, and the academy has not even been able to find a player who is at the same level as him.
