The Scenery of the Owl Shed
Chapter 255 The Scenery of the Owl Shed
Wade didn't actually have anything important to do in secret, but now that the work was done, he just wanted to be alone and quiet.
He has spent so much time leading the launch of this magical version of television, and he knows better than anyone how broad the prospects of streaming mirrors are.
You know, even Muggle TV stations don’t broadcast in high definition yet!
The streaming mirror not only has clear images and three-dimensional sounds, but can also be enlarged or shrunk so that it can be put into a pocket and taken away - of course, the size change can only be done by wizards who have mastered the relevant spells.
Marchionne saw business opportunities in the flow mirror, the Weasley brothers saw alchemical techniques, the audience saw unprecedented fun, and the contestants could probably see their short-lived socially dead future from it.
But Wade knew clearly that from now on, Liu Jing would take away half of the public opinion in the magic world... or even more than half.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Daily Prophet often criticizes the Ministry of Magic and mocks government officials.
But once the real work comes, they become the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, fighting for Fudge without any shame.
They can describe the respected old principal as an old lunatic with ulterior motives. They can describe the underage savior as a vain and boastful little liar. They can also fabricate facts and weave lies to whitewash the dark forces.
But when streaming mirrors become widely popular, the status of The Daily Prophet will definitely be greatly challenged, and it may even be uncertain whether anyone will read the newspaper anymore.
By then, public opinion will have a new helmsman.
But the people are always ignorant and can be easily deceived and misled.
Vader didn't know if Dumbledore saw this future, but he said nothing.
……
Vader avoided the crowd and went to the Owlery.
The environment here is not very good, but you can see most of the maze, the view is wide, and it is quiet.
Most of the owls stood on the shelf, turning a blind eye.
Some of them were lying flat on their backs with their eyes closed and their long, thick, hairy legs stretched straight out, sleeping as if they were dead.
Some owls were startled by the footsteps and opened their eyes to look at him in confusion. Their eyes followed Wade's figure for a while, but when they saw that he did not "offer" any delicious food, they ignored him.
Wade suddenly noticed that the back of an owl's head was a little bald, so he walked over and touched it, trying not to laugh.
The owl tilted its head and looked at him in confusion, making a "cooing" sound in its throat, but did not dodge away, nor did it tilt its head to peck at his hand.
Looks very well behaved.
There was no fierce look at all as if he was going to start a fight at night.
Wade paused for a moment before coming to the platform on the roof of the shed, where he was surprised to find that there was already someone sitting there.
"--professor?"
Vader said in surprise.
The person sitting here was Professor Murray, who seldom came to school.
"Oh—Ved."
Professor Murray turned around, smiled, and said:
"Looks like you've discovered this secret spot, too—nice view, isn't it?"
"of course."
Wade was confused, and after thinking about it, he asked directly:
"Professor, aren't you going to attend the European Alchemists' Union banquet?"
This was the schedule that was booked more than half a year in advance. Professor Murray should have left for Luxembourg yesterday afternoon.
To this end, they even postponed an alchemy class.
Professor Murray spread his hands helplessly and said, "As soon as the banquet started, the organizers and the guests started fighting, and there was also a disgraceful guy who lost his pants... I know that today is the first day your Liujing will be publicly unveiled, so I thought about it and rushed back using the portkey."
"Then why didn't you go down there? It still smells a bit after all."
Professor Murray's face changed slightly, and he said quickly:
"Don't tell Dumbledore that I'm back, or he'll definitely send me to work! Look at your poor dean, how busy he is!"
In the distant maze, Professor Flitwick was flying on a broom near the wall. He probably hadn't ridden a broom for a long time, so his movements were a little awkward.
While Professor McGonagall was maintaining order outside the maze, Professor Flitwick was using magic to throw out students who had fallen into traps, students who were chased by magical creatures, and students who had been carried back home as trophies.
The professor, who is about the same size as a child, is extremely busy, but he dares not relax for a moment.
Of course, Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Madam Hooch, Madam Pomfrey and others were also busy working, not to mention Filch and Hagrid.
Perhaps only Professor Trelawney of the Divination class could sit quietly in her chair, watching the challenge program leisurely, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming down.
But this was not because Dumbledore particularly doted on her, but because even Dumbledore, who trusted his people, did not dare to let this professor be responsible for anything difficult or important.
Wade twirled the wand in his hand, and a small whirlwind rose out of thin air, cleaning the balcony outside the shed.
Professor Murray even lifted his legs to allow the dust to roll across the floor in the wind.
Afterwards, Wade sat next to him and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, professor...I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble."
Professor Murray smiled and said, "How can this be considered a trouble?"
"Seeing the children in the school blooming with energy that has not been seen in a thousand years, and happily learning how to use magic while playing, this scenery is better than anything else."
"I guess Mag and the others all think the same, so no one ever blames you for it, right?"
“——It seems so.”
Wade was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "It is our luck to meet good teachers like you and Professor McGonagall. I will never forget the help the professors have given me."
He sighed and recalled, "In my first year, I used the wrong spell and hurt myself. If you hadn't picked me up, I would have almost died."
Professor Murray recalled for a moment and said doubtfully:
"Didn't you have a fever that time? And you were injured? What spell was used wrong?"
Vader blinked and locked eyes with the white-haired professor.
After a moment, he suddenly said, "Ah... I think I got it mixed up."
"How could you remember this wrongly?" Professor Murray shook his head helplessly and said, "You have never made any mistakes in remembering the pronunciation and symbols of ancient magic words."
"Because my brain is occupied with more important things, it's easy to forget other things."
Wade explained, took out the panoramic telescope he had prepared from his pocket, copied one and handed it to Professor Murray.
"Use this to watch it! The picture can be zoomed in and out, and you can also rewind and pause it. It's very clear!"
"Thank you."
Professor Murray smiled and took the telescope without thinking too much.
Wade watched this scene until he used the telescope to see what was happening in the maze, then he raised his own telescope.
In the picture, Harry, Michael and others also walked into the maze.
