   "Is it a double-sided mirror?" Felix asked with interest.

   "No, Felix, I don't think so." Flitwick meditated.

   Professor McGonagall said his guess: "Maybe it's a magic newspaper?"

   "Newspaper?" Felix looked at her, he had never thought of this.

"Yes, I remember that the "Daily Prophet" has a similar technology. If the news changes, the content of the newspaper will also change," Professor McGonagall added, "This situation is rare now, they even Willing to move to the evening paper of the day."

   She recalled, “During the war years, the Ministry of Magic issued several emergency notices with the help of the Daily Prophet...”

   Felix was a little surprised. In his impression, the Daily Prophet did not follow the integrity of the news very much. They might be more concerned about the sales of the newspaper.

   That's why it is divided into daily newspapers and evening newspapers, as well as the weekend edition of "Sunday Prophet."

   The views of the Daily Prophet tend to the Ministry of Magic as a whole, so...is this the basis for cooperation laid a long time ago?

   "Did they use sync magic too?" He wanted more information.

   "I think it's more than that—the newspaper may have used multiple curses on it. This is their exclusive technology, which is not seen in other newspapers." Professor McGonagall replied.

   Felix thought, so to speak, it is indeed similar to his answer parchment, and even more perfect—their newspaper covers the entire United Kingdom.

   Except for the lack of interaction.

   "Neither." Flitwick said inexplicably, "Strange, I shouldn't forget...".

  Professor McGonagall's eyes widened, and she stammered off his words: "Oh, shouldn't it be that person's mark, Felius?"

   "Oh, my God, of course not!" Flitwick's voice became sharper.

   Felix listened quietly, are they talking about the Dark Mark?

   He hasn't studied it, but in his impression, this is a patterned magic contract that has the function of positioning and summoning. Maybe Voldemort also added a personal understanding?

   Bellby who was silent on the side suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have seen similar things in the Muggle world..."

   "Yes, this is it!"

   Belby’s words inspired Flitwick, and he said in surprise: "I remember, I heard it from Professor Bubbaji."

   Keridi Bubbaji?

   Professor of Muggle Studies?

   Felix recalled that he had not seen the professor several times, and she seemed to live off campus all year round.

   "Kerrydi showed me the picture, it's square, I don't remember its name." Flitwick looked at Bellby, hoping to get a response—

   "Oh, I remember calling it a mobile phone?" Bellby said, "I saw someone use it at the Muggle Opera House, and I asked him about it. I said I'm from the country."

   He grinned at Felix. This is what Felix mentioned in the "How to Deal with Muggles" in his book.

Flitwick gave Bellby an affirmative look, "It's this thing ~ mobile... phone? It is said that Muggles can have conversations across thousands of miles. Keridi complained to me that her essay was simply ignored. It’s a fantasy—all old antiques."

  Professor McGonagall didn’t know much about Muggle objects. She asked doubtfully: “Is the Muggle world so developed? What do they rely on to solve the problem of long-distance communication?

   Now, Flitwick and Bellby are speechless, their understanding of this aspect is very limited.

   Felix exhaled softly.

   He knows what kind of book he should write this year—Introduction to Muggle World Technology. However, Professor Bubbaji's experience gave him a very good counterexample. If you get started, it will be beyond the imagination of wizards, and I am afraid that it will not be able to make any splashes.

The two books he wrote before introduced the development history of ordinary people and their way of thinking. This is something that wizards can understand, and he deliberately arranged a large number of examples of communication scenes, which have a relatively high practicality— It is convenient for some public officials to follow the picture and deal with ordinary people.

   Because of this, his book can be recognized professionally.

   is also convenient for him to carry some private opinions that he really wants to say...

   How should he organize the structure of the new book? Felix thought.

  ‘It must be simple, clear and clear at a glance. Don't be afraid of less, just be afraid of more. ’

  Some simple mechanical parts, some prototypes for energy utilization, and even simple and repeatable physical experiments...

He suddenly remembered that when he talked to Lockhart with Miss Granger, he mentioned that he admired Lockhart’s way of incorporating knowledge into the story, "Maybe I will imitate it in the future!" He said to his assistant at the time. Say.

   Now it seems that I can write a fairy tale of "The Adventures of Wizard Kid"?

   "Felix?" Flitwick looked at him.

   "I just thought of something interesting." Felix said.

   He put the visit to Professor Bubaki on the agenda.

   As for the improvement of the answering parchment, he still has many little wizards' brains that he hasn't taken out. Adding double-sided mirrors, magic newspapers, dark marks, mobile phones, these things can bring him inspiration and ideas.

  In the middle of the journey, several professors have finalized the cooperation plan. Bellby feels a little regretful. He is not good at this aspect at all.

   After the dinner, the little wizards left tacitly in twos and threes. Some wizards and wizards quietly disappeared from the army, looking for a secluded place for a date.

  ‘I wonder how many couples Filch will catch tonight? There was no marginal thought in Felix's mind.

   Back to the office, he flipped through today’s "Prophet Evening News", and the front page news on it caught his attention—

  ‘Gidro Lockhart is facing seven years in prison. Book fans wrote to criticize the Ministry of Magic. ’

   This made Felix interested. The newspaper mentioned that Lockhart deeply regrets his actions. He is willing to heal and compensate those who have been hurt-hoping to escape punishment.

   He also took out a full 20,000 gold gallons, which UU Reading www.uukanshu.com donated to various prestigious magic organizations. But Wisengamo still sentenced him to a seven-year sentence—from Felix’s point of view, this sentence was significantly reduced.

   Besides, the dementors feared by ordinary wizards are not so scary for the memory master.

   But for Lockhart, losing his dazzling aura and future is the most terrible punishment, right?

   But this is not the most outrageous news today. In the corner, he found an unremarkable news—

'The former editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter, faces charges of underreporting Animagus for a long time and illegally obtaining secrets from others for personal gain, but recently, the Ministry of Magic suddenly dropped all charges and sentenced them to punishment. Two thousand gallons. It is reported that more than one high-ranking Ministry of Magic stated that there is no direct evidence to prove Rita Skeeter’s guilt...’

   Felix smiled suddenly: "Rita, Rita..." He was really eye-opening.

  Gidro Lockhart and Rita Skeeter, they are very similar to some extent, they both became famous wizards and wizards by illegal means.

   Lockhart even received a Merlin Knights third-level badge representing honor.

   Even so, when the crime was exposed, their ending was completely different-Lockhart received a reduced sentence, but still went to jail; while Skeeter's sentence was not painful.

   Felix’s light blue eyes reflected the night view of Hogwarts in the night. He was very curious at the moment: "How many secrets do you know about the big people, Rita Skeeter?"

   A string of controversial Ministry officials’ names flashed in his mind—

   Cornelius Fudge, Barty Crouch, Ludo Bagman, Dolores Umbridge, Pierce Sinknes...
