Chapter 322 320 The Longbottom Family’s Gratitude (Two in One)

Chapter 322 320. Thanks from the Longbottom family (two in one)

"Actually, you can change your thinking. The small range of radiation is not a problem. As long as you can make this antenna (George pointed out with a serious look on the side that it is the Broom Hunter) effective on any model of flying broomstick, then let it fly Just get up. If you can do this, you can basically reach a restricted area. "

Hearing what Jon said, George, who was mainly responsible for the research and development of this thing, suddenly brightened up.

It is indeed difficult to expand its casting range, but if you can make it fly, there will be no difficulty. The difficulty now is just how to improve it to be able to target all types of flying broomsticks. efficient.

However, George and Fred were not in the mood to think about this for the time being. What really mattered to them was Jon's current attitude. With the proposal just now, it was obvious that he was not opposed to their research.

"You promised to keep it a secret for us?"

Jon rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

"This is not a matter of whether I can keep it a secret for you. As long as you are still at Hogwarts and at the Burrow, the adults will find out sooner or later. And what you are doing now is no small matter. Xiao Nao, can you really ensure that there will be no problems in every experiment? What if something does go wrong?"

George and Fred looked at each other and Fred cleared his throat and said.

"Of course we have also considered these things. At home we are just conducting some experiments that are not dangerous, and we have only returned home not long ago. Like Ron, this is the second time we have been home."

"Sooner or later, adults will find out."

Fred scratched his head. It was obvious that he had not seriously thought about this issue before, or that he had subconsciously avoided it.

"Let's wait until the day we are discovered. Anyway, my mother will only teach us a few words and then let us go to the backyard to weed."

But Jon saw through his thoughts and knew that he was actually running away.

"You can't always keep it a secret, or you don't plan to tell Professor Dumbledore after you perfect these things that can become alchemical items?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Regarding this point, George answered with great certainty, "When we first planned to come up with these things, we just wanted to help the professors share the pressure, but at that time we were still just messing around, Professor McGonagall. I always thought we were playing some kind of prank, and even if we told them, they wouldn’t believe our ability unless we could produce a finished product.”

The Weasley twins have never been fools. They are smarter than anyone else and know their credibility in the minds of professors. If they want to restore such credibility, they need to take action.

In Durmstrang, these people met the twins for the first time, so they never knew what they had done before. The librarian, Mr. Alpha, indeed had an excellent vision, Grinder Waugh also had considerable courage and determination, even being able to offer an olive branch to Hogwarts students.

Well, just like when he was able to force the appointment of Durmstrang Professor of Transfiguration on Jon.

Jon looked at the "anti-disarming wand", and then turned his attention to George and the others.

"Although I think what you have produced now is enough to bring changes to Professor Dumbledore and the others, it seems that you yourself feel that you still need time to prepare. This is not a bad thing, anyway, you have also signed the contract with Durmstrang’s contract does not lack support and assistance, so let’s wait until you are ready before giving everyone a surprise.”

Fred and George's eyes all showed excitement.

"Of course we will prepare a big surprise. To be honest, Jon, we still have a lot of ideas waiting to be tried. Things like this fake wand and the half-finished broom hunter are just preliminary experiments. We will wait until our real results come out. It will definitely surprise everyone in the future!”

They made bold words, and Jon indeed believed that the two of them had this ability.

Sometimes you have to admit that talent is something you are born with. Arthur is an excellent player in alchemical transformation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to apply magic to a Ford car so successfully. And George and Fred I completely inherited his talent.

Although both of them researched some prank-type magic props in the original work, different times will also bring about different changes in people.

Now is their time to show themselves.

Jon could provide George and the others with some different insights, but he didn't bother them much. There are enough things that he needs to study, and specifically, the twins are no longer studying ancient magic texts, but can be said to be alchemy.

It is true that he can understand some magic texts, but it can be said that he has not touched on alchemy at all, so Jon and He are not arrogant enough to think that he can be an amateur and command an expert.

In this way, he helped the twins temporarily hide their secret, and stayed at the Weasley house for about a week. During his free time every day, he discussed Muggle transportation with Arthur, and found fish with Hermione and Ron. Go fishing in the nearby creek or accompany Gabrielle to help Ginny research her summer homework.

It wasn’t until a week later, in mid-July, that the planned trip finally started.

The Weasley family hadn't gone out to play as a family for ten years, because the situation in the UK did not allow it. Whether it was the twins and Ron in the carriage at Hogwarts, or the Weasleys working for Dumbledore in the Order of the Phoenix, they all lived a precarious life.

No one could guarantee whether they could have a safe meal next time, let alone travel.

And this time it was not only because the situation had temporarily stabilized, but also because they were in France now.

Arthur and Molly may have been here before, but it was the first time for their children, so it was the best time to travel at this time and place.

Early in the morning of this day, the Weasley family packed up their things, and their trip was quite planned.

Especially Arthur, who had made enough strategies. Of course, wizards could not go directly into the mountains and forests when they went out. The places they went to most were Muggle attractions and shopping malls. In order to prevent accidents that most wizards would encounter, he even designed what kind of Muggle clothes everyone should wear.

Arthur's preparations were indeed necessary. For example, Jon did not consider that people wearing shorts would not be allowed to enter in some more solemn occasions.

He also seriously considered the problem of catching a cold when wearing short sleeves at night, and specially equipped everyone with a leather jacket.

After everything was ready, the Weasley family, together with Jon, Hermione and Gabriel, first came to a tavern opened by wizards in Lyone, preparing to have lunch here and wait for the Longbottom family to join.

They didn't wait long. Just when the waiter brought the appetizers, Neville came here with his father.

Mr. Longbottom's full name is Frank Longbottom.

This is a wizard who gives people a very reliable feeling from the face. He has a firm and round face like his son. He is not tall but definitely not short.

When he came to the tavern and saw the Weasley family, or more precisely, Jon, he stood there with a serious face, handed everything in his hand to Neville, and then bowed solemnly to Jon.

Jon, who was staring at an appetizer that looked like octopus balls, was startled and subconsciously wanted to move away to avoid Frank's gift.

However, Arthur grabbed Jon's arm and did not let him avoid it successfully, and said very seriously.

"You deserve the thanks, Jon, there is nothing to avoid."

"In fact, after getting the news that night, I should have met you to express the gratitude of the entire Longbottom family. For this reason, I wrote a letter to Neville. He told me that you were still in the recuperation period. It was not polite to disturb you at that time, so I waited until now. Neville's grandmother and uncle also wanted to thank you in person, but they are old and inconvenient to move, so they let me express their gratitude to you."

Frank said very seriously, and his movements were obviously abrupt. Fortunately, there were almost no other guests in the tavern except the Weasley family, so it did not attract much attention.

"Thank you for avenging Neville's mother Alice. In the future, the entire Longbottom family will be bound to you. No matter what help you need, as long as the wizard with the surname Longbottom, you will be at their disposal."

His promise was equivalent to putting the entire Longbottom family on Jon, because the Longbottom family members who died at the hands of the Lestranges were not only Neville's mother.

Also pure-blood families, but these two families can be said to have a blood feud. This time, Jon almost killed the main branch of the enemy, Rabastan, Rodolphus, and Bella, which was indeed a great favor to the Longbottom family.

After being pulled by Arthur and being hit by Frank, Jon did not avoid it anymore. He knew that Neville's father needed a psychological catharsis.

"Neville and I are friends, Mr. Longbottom." Jon said softly, "and no matter what, they all deserve to die."

"Their crimes are not enough to die ten thousand times, but whether you are subjective or not, it is you who avenges us, and this is indisputable." Frank raised his head, as if he saw that Jon was a little uncomfortable, "We won't always talk about favors, nor will we change Neville's friendship for this, but no matter what happens, if you need it, please tell the Longbottom family."

His words were very sincere, and Jon could also feel the seriousness in them. He nodded solemnly.

"I will."

Frank smiled, as if Jon accepted the Longbottom family's thanks, which was one of the purposes of his trip.

"Okay, now that we have said everything, let's go to the table and eat quickly, Frank. The children are waiting anxiously. If we wait a little longer, we can probably go directly to Nice to arrange dinner."

Molly pulled Frank to sit on the chair, Neville punched Jon's shoulder, and then sat down at the dining table.

For Europeans, dinner is the time to really enjoy a big meal, so they arranged tonight's dinner in Nice, the first seaside city at the beginning of the trip, and lunch in the wizard tavern in Lyon, enjoying a fairly hearty French meal.

Whether it is the Weasley family, the Longbottom family, or Hermione and Jon, they rarely have the opportunity to relax with so many people together.

Hermione and Ginny were teaching Gabrielle how to take care of her hair; George and Fred were still whispering to each other, avoiding others and winking at Jon from time to time; Molly was earnestly asking her eldest son if he had a girl he liked recently, and if he didn't know how to pursue a girl, his mother could teach him.

Arthur, Charlie and Frank were discussing the fate of the dragon training farms in Romania. Recently, it seemed that someone had bought the entire dragon farm; Neville was telling Jon and Ron about his boring experience at home alone since the beginning of the summer vacation, and said that after this trip, he would ask his father to agree to let him stay at the Weasley family until the start of the next semester.

"I heard that all the schedules for the Triwizard Tournament have been determined. Professor Dumbledore just went to the UK not long ago and completed all the preparations before the start of the competition."

Neville also learned some inside information at home, and whispered to Jon and Neville.

"I heard that the International Magic Federation has already selected three referees. Not only are these people not from Europe, but they are all mixed-blood, ensuring that they will not be lured by any party. But the list of referees has not been announced yet. It is said that it will be announced on the day of the competition."

Jon blinked his eyes. He was actually quite curious whether the International Magic Federation would have wizards from his hometown.

"Have you heard where the three referees are from?"

Neville shook his head.

"Not really. I just heard rumors that the three referees are sent by one wizard each from America, Asia and Africa."

Ron pouted.

"In fact, if you ask me, the referee doesn't matter, but the venue of the competition should not be in Hogwarts Castle. It is now the base camp of the Dark Lord. If he really wants to hide it from others, it will be easy. I really don't know why Professor Dumbledore agreed to this."

In this regard, Jon, who has actually been to Hogwarts Castle, knows some inside information. He shook his head and said.

"Don't think that the Dark Lord is the headmaster of Hogwarts Castle. That school may not necessarily be his territory."
