Arthur explained kindly: "Because I visited the surrounding area when I came here, and no one here has ever been harmed by magical pranks. Besides, you actually have electric lights here, and you can also use Muggle machines-"
"this means?"
"This means you are an enlightened wizard. Such people are rare these days. I believe you will not do anything bad." Arthur said with a smile.
"this……"
Aaron was speechless. Is this reason really tenable? He couldn't help but ask:
"But shouldn't you be checking to see if I've misused Muggle objects, like turning a car into a flying car or something?"
I don't know if these words touched Arthur's pain point, but he actually spit out a sip of coffee:
"No...ahem, no need to check, this kind of modification is legal, as long as you don't plan to drive it out - at least don't be seen by others." He coughed and said anxiously as if he was defending himself. said:
"It's normal for a wizard to have some magical items in his home. As long as you don't intend to use it to tease Muggles, we won't investigate."
Arthur explained patiently: "For example, the grandfather clock, although it is well hidden, I can tell at a glance that it has been enchanted, but it doesn't matter, what if I change the way the clock tells time? ?”
Aaron was a little speechless. Before Arthur came, he had asked Runas to hide everything in the mansion, except for the grandfather clock, which was the only flaw he left.
According to his past life experience, if someone plans to check you, you'd better leave some more obvious questions for him, otherwise the other person will definitely not let it go.
But now it seems that this is no longer necessary. This Mr. Arthur Weasley is simply a righteous light among the humanoid stars of the Ministry of Magic.
This actually gave him a feeling of powerlessness as if he was punching cotton. After a meal of preparation, someone lightly said "Believe you". Aaron's mood at the moment was like a primary school student who stayed up all night to make up for his summer homework but the teacher didn't check it. .
Arthur finished his coffee, stood up and looked at the grandfather clock. In its belly lay a curled-up lark, sleeping soundly at the moment.
"It's such an exquisite design!" Arthur praised it for the first time. "It's a perfect fusion of Muggle machinery and wizarding skills. Did you make this?"
"No, this clock was left behind by my great-grandfather."
"Is your great-grandfather also a wizard?"
"No, he is an engineer. He is a third-generation civil engineer in our family. Unfortunately, his roots were broken when he came to me. That clock was modified by me."
"Engineer? Civil engineer?" Arthur was a little confused, but at least he knew one thing. This is a profession among Muggles, and it is very important:
"Are you from a Muggle family? No wonder you use so many Muggle things. Oh, by the way, what's your name, Aaron..."
"My name is Aaron Custer, born into a Muggle family."
"Custer..." Arthur was stunned for a moment, seeming to think that the name was familiar. Suddenly, two gleams of light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his whole body leaned forward suddenly, shocking Aaron:
"It's you, that book - "Technology and Magic", was it you who wrote it?"
"Have you read it?" Aaron didn't expect that Arthur was still his reader.
"Of course, of course, I like Muggles very much. I always think that Muggles' wisdom is very amazing. Unfortunately, there are many things I can't understand. But I feel much better after reading your book..."
"Really? I would be very honored." Aaron smiled lightly.
"How modest. Your book is undoubtedly a pioneering masterpiece in the field of Muggle studies!" Arthur almost danced with excitement:
"Before this, people who studied Muggles were very backward in their understanding of their ever-changing technology. Many people even thought that Muggles just learned to use electricity yesterday..."
Aaron said rather humbly: "I'm just putting forward my humble opinion..."
"Where, where, you made many great predictions in this book: 'The 21st century is the century of life sciences' - many wizards don't even understand what life sciences are, and they still think that Muggles rely on bloodletting Treat people..."
“It’s not a prophecy, it’s just a prediction, a prediction.”
"Of course, you are always so humble!" Arthur smiled sincerely, but then it turned into a distressed look:
"However, I still have some questions: For example, you once said that Muggles have entered the information age, and smartphones will be popular in the future. What is a smartphone? According to your description, that thing will be as important as a wizard's wand... "
"Also, I still don't understand how airplanes fly into the sky. You skipped this section in your book. I only remember that there was a machine similar to a car engine."
"besides……"
"besides……"
"Stop, stop, please stop for a moment." Faced with such a large number of complicated questions, Aaron couldn't help but feel dizzy. He glanced at the clock, thought of his recent schedule, and couldn't help but apologize. road:
"Sorry, I still need to prepare lessons. Hogwarts is about to start school. I'm afraid I won't have time to answer so many questions for you..."
"Lesson preparation? Are you a professor at Hogwarts?" Arthur was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that someone as young as Aaron could teach at Hogwarts, but soon he became happy:
"It's a coincidence that several of my sons are studying at Hogwarts, and my daughter is going to report this year. It's great. I'm very lucky that they can meet such a good teacher!"
After saying that, Arthur had a troubled look on his face, as if he felt that if he continued to ask questions, it would affect Aaron's lesson preparation, and thus affect his children's learning. So, after struggling for a long time, he said hesitantly:
"Oh, if that's the case, then I won't bother you and will leave now, but..."
"It's okay, Mr. Weasley." Aaron smiled and said, "If you have any questions, you can write to me and send them to Hogwarts after school starts. I also need some readers' feedback."
"Really? That's great!" Arthur was so happy that he almost jumped up. He rubbed his hands excitedly: "I really don't know how to thank you. Can I invite you to my home..."
"You're welcome, Mr. Weasley." Aaron said politely: "Your son, Charlie Weasley, and I are classmates. We don't have to be so open-minded."
"Really, really, Charlie never told me about this..." Arthur murmured, with some blame in his tone.
"Mr. Weasley, regarding my search..."
"Qualified, you are absolutely qualified, Mr. Custer!" Arthur said without hesitation and firmly in a tone as if he was about to pull out a wand on someone: "If anyone in the ministry thinks there is something wrong with you here If so, I will challenge him to a wizard's duel first!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Weasley."
