At the request of George and Fred, Hope opened a joke workshop in the secret base. Afterwards, George and Fred moved all the prank props hidden in the dormitory to the secret base.
Hope was dazzled by the variety of props, including many semi-finished products. It seemed that the two of them had been working on prank props, and Zuko's props could no longer satisfy them.
No longer paying attention to the two of them, Hope went to study the elastic cushion. It was not difficult to make. It was a very rough production process. A very elastic balloon was forced into a cushion. As long as a heavy object sat on it, the cushion would be destroyed. Let the balloon inside pop out.
The most valuable thing for research is probably this balloon. I don’t know what material it is made of. It will not break even if it is compressed to such a small size, and it can rebound quickly.
Although he doesn't know how to imitate, he has an easier way, which is to buy more.
After making up his mind, Hope asked George and Fred about the secret passage to Hogsmeade, and George and Fred told him happily.
The secret passage is in the Gunhilda Corridor in Gosmoor on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, where there is a statue of a hunchbacked one-eyed witch.
To enter the secret passage, you need to tap the statue with your wand and recite the incantation "separate the left and right", and then the statue will open to reveal a stone slide.
He did not forget to remind him that the secret passage leads to Honeydukes' cellar, and asked Hope to be careful not to be discovered.
Following the guidance of George and Fred, Hope found the statue of the hunchbacked one-eyed witch, opened it, and went down the stone slide. It took him about ten minutes to stop sliding, and then an extra-long step appeared before Hope's eyes.
After walking for more than two hundred knots, he came to a trap door. He gently pushed the trap door open, and a sweet and cloying smell filled Hope's nose. He didn't know how many desserts were put here. raw material.
Carefully walking out of the cellar, Hope took out the disguise that George and Fred had given him, a hood with only his eyes exposed, looking like a terrorist.
The more Hope looked at it, the less he wanted to wear it, but after seeing some familiar professors appearing in Hogsmeade, he still put it on with all his heart.
It's not that he is afraid, but he is afraid of causing trouble to the professors. If a young wizard is found in Hogsmeade at night, the conscientious professor is not allowed to send him back to Hogwarts. The professor who has been in class for a day It's rare to come to Hogsmeade to relax, so it's bad to be interrupted this time.
Hope unconsciously gave him a thumbs up for his thoughtfulness.
They walked cautiously to Zuko's Joke Shop. As they walked, a figure with greasy hair caught Hope's attention. No need to guess, it was his beloved Potions Professor Snape.
At this time, the place Professor Snape went to was the Pig's Head Bar, a place recognized as a lawless place in Hogsmeade.
Looking at where Professor Snape was going, Hope said viciously: I will report you to my father sooner or later. Thanks to Professor Snape, Hufflepuff, who was far ahead from the beginning of school, was once overtaken by Slytherin. The main reason was that every time he took Potions class, he would inexplicably lose points by Snape. After that, he learned well. Okay, just prepare the potion honestly. If you have any questions, ask after class.
Before he asked a question in class, Snape deducted two points from him for disrupting the progress of the class. The reason was that this kind of question was not something that a first-year student should consider. Although Professor Snape would eventually tell him the answer, he He was just inexplicably unhappy, and he didn't even want to mention some of the more bizarre reasons for deducting points.
However, there are still a group of smugglers in the wizarding world in England who have not been caught. Potion masters like Snape should like smugglers very much. After all, they have many rare potion materials that they cannot buy even if they want to.
When he came to Zuko's Joke Shop, Hope bought eight or nine elastic cushions. After leaving, Hope put the cushions into the small wooden box that he brought with him. After learning from Newt in the past few days, he has now successfully put the small wooden box into It has been transformed into a magic spell that ignores the target volume and includes the object.
After sneaking into the cellar, opening the trap door and entering the secret passage, Hope was in trouble. He looked at the slide in front of him of unknown height. How should he climb up? When he wanted to slide down everywhere, he slid for more than ten minutes.
The slide was messy and had no place to stay. How did George and Fred get up there? Could it be that they took the main entrance openly, or was there another secret passage?
Come and go, Hope can only use his half-baked flying magic.
About five minutes later, Hope panted and held the wand against the ceiling above his head, chanting: "Separate the left and right." Then a hole opened in the ceiling above his head, and he flew out of the hole and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Hope was pretty sure that there was definitely another way for George and Fred to get back to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade.
Seeing that it was getting late, the tired Hope stopped going to the secret base to study elastic cushions and went back to the dormitory to rest for the night.
The next day, after class, Hope came to the secret base and took out the elastic cushion he bought yesterday. As for what he was going to do, he had already thought about it. Cedric would be their Hufflepuff genius seeker. Hands will inevitably be targeted during competitions. It would be bad if they fall from a high altitude and get injured.
So he planned to make a set of armor for Cedric. The elastic ball in the elastic cushion was very suitable as a cushion when it fell to the ground.
Hope has also tested it, and there is nothing wrong with an egg wrapped in a bouncy ball falling from a high altitude. Cedric will definitely be very safe.
Not long after their research, George and Fred arrived at the secret base.
When the two of them saw Hope putting aside the elastic cushion and taking out the elastic ball, they immediately rushed to stop him and said, "Hope, you are too precious. It's a pity that you don't let others experience such an interesting prop." ”
Hope's mouth twitched and he said: "There are a few more over there, how about you two suffer to experience it?"
George and Fred: Baa.
"How did you return to Hogsmeade from the secret passage? That slide is not something ordinary people can climb up." Hope asked.
George replied: "Ride a flying broomstick. We all came back on a flying broomstick before."
Hope: (⊙o⊙)…
George looked at Hope's stunned expression and said, "Did you climb up?"
"No...I flew up here too." Hope said awkwardly. Why didn't he think of this trick?
No, he is a first-year wizard, and the school does not allow first-year students to bring flying broomsticks to school.
Hope glanced at the two of them who were holding back their smiles. Sure enough, they didn't tell him on purpose. They wanted to see him make a fool of himself. They were on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. How could they not know that the freshmen didn't have flying broomsticks? Such a thing?
Hope quietly waved her magic wand, changed the color of the cushion and placed it on the two people's seats in the Joke Workshop, and thoughtfully used a transformation spell to blend the color with the stool.
This is definitely not revenge, he just feels that the elastic cushion should really be experienced.
