Take things as they come at Hogwarts

"I can't believe it, how are you ...... How do you make a working wand?" all of Locke's actions were under the attention of the professors, and he naturally couldn't hide the fact that he had made a wand.

"Actually, it's a trick with transformation magic. "

"Transfiguration?" Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses, intrigued.

"Yes. For example, the wand part of a wand. The difficulty of carving magic patterns is too high, I can use a transformation spell on the original pictures and photos in the book, and use a transformation spell on the body of the staff to make it exactly the same as the ~ book. "

"But the effect of the deformation is not permanent. Professor McGonagall - reminded.

"I know. So, wrap the rod in mud and then deform the mud and change the material so that it turns from mud to stone, and from stone to steel. It's actually quite easy, Professor, after all, our first class in transfiguration was to turn matches into needles. This involves material changes. "

"Definitely. So, when the deformation effect on the cane disappears first, the cane will be crushed by the steel shell and become a carved appearance?"

"Yes. Then, using the same theory, we inlaid the treated unicorn hair into the body of the staff. Then the shell of the rod is inlaid on the outside of the shaft. Theoretically, as long as the transfiguration magic is perfect enough, the wand made is more precise and perfect than the handmade one. "

"I guess you chose the soft, fluffy magic wood for your staff?"

"Quite the opposite, Professor. Flexible and fluffy wood fails, because softness means it is easy to deform and rebound is more severe. Hardwoods, on the other hand, retain their pressure-shaped results for a longer period of time. Lady Helena gave me a potion recipe used in ancient times to make longbows, and when soaked in it, the shape of the staff lasts longer. "

"That's it, the rune is ...... inked"

"With a ballpoint pen. "

Professor McGonagall was speechless, she had seen a little wizard who used a pen to ink alchemical items, but she didn't expect Locke to be more up-to-date!

"You have no soul in doing this. Professor McGonagall couldn't help but comment.

"Of course, this wand has no soul. Actually, I'm not going to make a wand with a soul, otherwise my white princess would be jealous. Locke touched the white princess in his hand, which was more and more beautiful.

McGonagall was a little speechless about this, complaining that Snape didn't stop Ollivander from fooling when he brought Locke to buy his wand.

You see, what has become of a normal little wizard now?

It's just a matter of indulging in wands, and in the first grade, he independently made a wand that can be used normally, and not only that......

"What are you going to do to publish your own method as a paper?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Why? Is this method useful? to make an emergency wand?" Locke wondered.

"Looks like you still don't know enough about the wizarding world, Locke. Did you know that throughout the wizarding world, there are two of the most common wizarding toys? One is a toy broomstick and the other is a fake wand. Their sales, and the benefits they bring to manufacturers each year, may be far greater than you think!" Professor McGonagall said with a serious expression.

"But, when it comes to producing fake wands, can't they think of this method?" Locke wondered, there was no way there would be no smart people in the wizarding world.

"Of course they can't think of it. Wizards are always too superstitious about magic, so when they produce fake wands and toy broomsticks, they directly deform the material, and then use special potions or magic patterns to maintain the transformation time as much as possible, so that the overall cost is higher than your method, and the effect is not as long-lasting as your method. "

"Even a toy broomstick?" Locke was surprised.

"Of course, in fact, all one-time basic alchemy items can be used with your method. Next, they can even scale up and produce them in an assembly line. The more Professor McGonagall thought about it, the more tricky it became.

"Really?" Locke didn't believe that no one really wanted this method, even if wizards were superstitious about magic and sometimes blinded, but it wasn't so simple that they couldn't find it.

Maybe it's just that someone found out but didn't announce it, and quietly made a lot of money on their own?

"She's right. Helena, who had not spoken, spoke suddenly.

Locke turned to look at her, wondering what she, the female ghost of Hogwarts, could understand.

Helena looked indifferent and added, "The recipe for the potion I gave you is also very important, it is only in the Muggle world, and maybe even Muggles don't know about it now." If they don't know the recipe and replace it with another potion, the cost will become uncontrollable. "

"So, we happen to have a big secret to producing gold gallons?

How can there be so many loopholes in the world? People who think they are smart will always be proven to be stupid.

"Locke, you can choose to publish this method for free, rather than buying it from a big manufacturer. Your main takeaway this way will be fame. But it's not completely without monetary gains, and those big manufacturers may pay you a royalty. But you can't expect every manufacturer to do that. Professor McGonagall suggested.

"When writing your paper, you don't have to publish that potion recipe. In this way, you can rely on this recipe to get the manufacturers to obediently pay you the royalties. Helena added.

"Helena, that potion recipe is yours. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"What's the matter? I've already given it to you anyway. "

"Oh, Helena, don't you want to stay out of it," Locke glanced at Helena, and then continued to ask Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, is there a plan that has neither a reputation nor a Golden Galleon, for example, to anonymously reveal my pressure sculpting technique." "

"Unfortunately, no. The wizarding world is so big, and there are so many strange magics of all kinds, you can't do this kind of thing completely secretly!" Professor McGonagall didn't know what was going on in the head of this little lion in his house.

"Then can I act as if nothing happened and not announce this thing?"

"Mr. Locke Chen, although you have half Oriental blood in your body, you grew up in England. So, don't learn from the over-modesty of the Orientals. If you refuse the glory that is delivered to your door, it is just stupidity!" Professor McGonagall said sternly. []

"Will this technique be used in large quantities and affect the interests of the pure-blood nobles?" Locke asked again.

"EMM won't, it will. Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment and replied.

"How?" Locke was interested.

Professor McGonagall sighed helplessly before continuing, "Most of the manufacturers that produce low-margin, low-tech alchemy products are related to the interests of pure-blood nobles, so your new technology is also beneficial to them. Even, they will try their best to protect your patent rights, using the threshold of patent fees to squeeze out those small manufacturers who are trying to get a piece of the pie.

But the main industry of pure-blood families is still the traditional industry. So, after your technology was announced, the new nobles who have recently risen in the wizarding world are actually the ones who will benefit the most. This could be a shock to the pure-blood nobles. "

"I see. Locke didn't expect that the interests of the wizarding world were so complicated, and that there was a new class of aristocrats that had risen through commerce and the magic industry.

Why isn't this class mentioned in the movies and novels he watches?

Forget it, anyway, as long as you can make the old purebloods deflated, Locke will be happy.

So Locke, with the help of Professor McGonagall, wrote a paper called "The Relationship between Mature Pressure Engraving and the Assembling of Simple Alchemy Commodities in the Assembling Line", and published it in Transfiguration Today, the most authoritative journal of transfiguration magic in the wizarding world.

Yes, no contributions are required.

The two professors, McGonagall and Dumbledore, personally took Locke to the headquarters of the magazine, asked the editor-in-chief to review the manuscript in person, and set a plan for the next issue to be published immediately.

For this reason, Locke also had to leave a photo to be on the cover of the next issue of Metamorphosis Today magazine.
