Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

　　 At the same time, Hufflepuff Girls’ Dormitory.

　　 Elena woke up very early, the habit that she had cultivated in the orphanage for six years has not faded so easily.

For a moment, Elena was still thinking about breakfast today, but the steady breathing of the girls around Hermione, Hannah, and Luna quickly brought her back to reality. She was already a Huo Gwarts is a second-year student.

　　 "Elena? Hmm...is it dawn?"

　　 Luna rolled over and muttered dazedly, her eyes closed, wondering if she was awake or talking in sleep.

　　 "It's still a while before dawn, so go ahead and sleep more..."

　　 Elena touched the Owl alarm clock by the bed and looked at it. Five thirty.

　　 Well, very punctual, which is in line with the biological clock she developed when she was a little cook and big sister in the orphanage.

　　 However, the curfew in the corridors of Hogwarts Castle will not be lifted until 6:30 at the earliest. If you are awakened by urine at this time, the best choice is to return to the warm bed and continue to sleep. But since she was automatically awakened by the biological clock, it would be very difficult to fall asleep again, and she didn't intend to tease the sleeping little wings at this time.

　　 In a few hours, they are going to the Quidditch stadium outside.

　　As the first day of the Quidditch season, two games were scheduled this morning:

The much-anticipated opener [All-Star Team VS Gryffindor Academy Team], and [Hogwarts Freshman Team VS Hufflepuff Academy Team exclusively named by Mrs. Morkin's robe], last night’s "sleeping" All of the girls will play today.

　　 Of course, before the start of the game, Elena will also appear on the field.

At her suggestion, starting from this semester, the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup has added a trophy display ceremony-but the Quidditch trophy will be temporarily placed on the team that won last year until the start of the final. That week.

　　 On the other hand, as the head coach of the Gryffindor team, she had to go to the stadium to mobilize before the game after breakfast.

Compared with previous games that were limited to schools, starting this year, Hogwarts Quidditch has released a few "spectator tickets" for the magic society, professional team managers, Quidditch fans, relatives and friends The group...all have the opportunity to arrive at Hogwarts to watch the game, and at the same time enjoy lunch and dinner from different colleges according to the seating area they get.

　　 Under such circumstances, Elena has quite high expectations for the opening match.

　　 Obviously, this must be a wonderful, high-level performance with a script reversal effect.

　　 "Ugh, think about it, there are still a lot to do today..."

Elena yawned, got up, dressed, skillfully took out the food in the cage and stuffed it into her chest, opened the door and quietly walked out of the dormitory-if you want to think about tactics and deal with news, then she is best Don't stay in the room, otherwise a little guy with a serious sixth sense supermodel will definitely be awakened.

　　 "Has Lockhart gone to enforce the ruling, he is really a diligent black wizard head."

In the common room, the silent fire was lit by the flame magic text. Elena looked at the action log that Gildro Lockhart commissioned the elf to send her. She had to admit that this "WIB" The boss has performed quite well recently.

　　 Considering Quirrell’s loss of magic power, Lockhart will accompany him throughout the entire Hogwarts period.

　　 This is both a protection and an insurance measure.

In the crisis deduction of the "Tarot Society", if an outsider sees through Quirrell’s state and intends to use magic to peep into the secrets of Quirrell’s mind, and even use magic to control him, Lockhart will be the first time Complete the execution-whether it is to directly erase the memory or modify the memory, these can all be decided by the WIB chief on the spot.

　　 "Well, will everyone from the British Quidditch team come too... The seats have been separated, which will help activate the atmosphere."

　　 "Ministry of Magic official? Gryffindor stand bar, so the kitchen supply pressure at noon and night will be less."

　　 "Reporter... It seems that some elves have to stare secretly, lest they wander around..."

Elena was in front of the fireplace dealing with documents that had been piled up yesterday and had not been processed. From time to time, she took out some small snacks from the "universal breast pad" on her chest to relieve her greed. Whenever she finished writing a piece, she directly crumpled the parchment paper into a ball. Thrown into the fireplace.

　　 A certain castle administrator maintained the Hogwarts fireplace LAN some time ago.

　　 Now, as long as the fireplace is activated by the magic text "kenaz", it will be connected to the fireplace in the Hogwarts kitchen at the same time by default.

Although it is not possible to directly transmit living people like the Floo Net, simple instruction transmission can still be done-as long as Elena attaches a magic flame to the parchment ball, it will pass through the flame and appear in the kitchen. In front of the fireplace.

　　 A few hours later, noise gradually appeared in the hallway of the dormitory in the Hufflepuff Lounge.

And Elena had already finished processing the files. At this moment, she was bored holding the tongs and roasting the sweet potatoes over the charcoal fire. She estimated that it was almost the normal time to wake up, so she took a breath to "eat" the shaking fire and took it. Walking towards the dormitory with sweet potatoes.

　　 Swallowing flames does not give her a sense of fullness, it even consumes Elena's magic.

　　 It's just that, so... handsome!

　　 "Get up, la la la, hey, see how good I am—"

Elena opened the door and looked at the little wings curled up together and still lying on the bed. She smiled, grabbed the corner of the quilt and slammed it open. Then, taking advantage of the slow response of the girls, she rushed to help them one by one. Provide wake-up service.

　　 This is the advantage of waking up early. When half-dreaming and half-waking, the wings that lay on the bed have no strength to resist.

　　…………

　　 "Elena, wait, you'll regret it sooner or later!" Hermione yelled, blushing.

　　 "Oh, Hermione, I think you might be more dangerous when Elena is confused—"

　　 Luna yawned and said, holding her flying broom and walking side by side with Hannah at a point behind.

　　 This afternoon, in the second game of the Quidditch Cup, the freshman team will face Hufflepuff College.

However, Miss Lovegood, who is a seeker, does not think that she and Hannah will have too many chances of confrontation. In so many long-distance sniper training games before, Hannah has never hit her. .

　　 And, more importantly,——

　　 "Why do you still use this old broomstick, Hannah." Luna glanced at her girlfriend beside her curiously.

　　 "Elena said that the new broom can only be activated in the second round of the round robin——"

　　 Hannah replied somewhat disappointed, after thinking about it, she added something seriously.

"Moreover, I haven't been able to fully grasp it yet. Although it is powerful, it is also very physically demanding to use, and if you accidentally hit other players at full speed, it is really too dangerous...More debugging and after practice That's fine."

　　 "There is another reason, that product launch conference has not yet opened."

　　 Elena explained casually, looked at the list in her hand, and turned her head with a smile.

"They are also a commercial brand anyhow. This is a non-disclosure agreement with the national team. The public appearance of the secret weapon will definitely wait until the international arena. By the way, Hannah, everyone who trained together during the summer vacation will also come today. ."

　　 "Secret weapon? The flying broom you said... can it really fly?"

　　 Hermione raised her eyebrows and looked suspiciously at the three people behind her.

　　 "And I searched a lot of literature, and I couldn't find the predecessor of the strangely named company you mentioned-if it is really a well-known company in the field of aviation, then there must be a corresponding technology source..."

　　 "First of all, its name is not strange at all."

　　 Elena raised her finger and shook it, and said softly meaningfully.

"[Sugoi] In the Eastern magical world, it means'excellent'. Of course you can't find its related records in the Quidditch literature of the British magical world, but as far as I know, it almost represents the sky realm. The upper limit of the current limit, after a successful test flight, you will know the meaning of the cross-age flying broomstick, after all--"

　　 Elena Lake’s blue eyes flashed with excitement, and she shook her head unpredictably without going on.

　　 If the "special cold potion" is a combination of chemistry, pharmacy and magic, then the new version of the flying broom, which is currently outside the school for final parameter adjustment, can be regarded as the first "Magic" industrial product in modern times.

　　…………

　　 At the same time, outside Hogwarts, the research area.

　　 "Oh, come and see her, this is so fascinating..."

　　 Several wizards and former Soviet researchers lie on the table, as if touching a lover, carefully touching the strange "flying broom" that emits metallic light and looks like a small missile.

　　 If it weren't for the dense broom tails behind it, it looks like a missile by itself.

　　 On the moving whiteboard not far away, some test parameters are roughly listed.

　　【Sugoi-M-17】

　　 [Empty weight: 1216 kg]

　　 [Theoretical maximum flight speed: 1.02 Mach]

　　【……】

In a place farther away, Mr. Ognecka, who is the chief of this area, is squatting on the ground, discussing something unrelated to scientific research with a few goblins very seriously. By their side, there are two more. A wizard employee of the Tianming Group wearing a black trench coat, one person is responsible for recording the content of the conversation, and the other is responsible for mediating and answering some questions.

　　 "...oh, okay, okay—"

　　 Ognechka grabbed the little hair that was left irritably, and said impatiently.

"As for the name of the company, your taste in the magic world is too bad. I really don’t want to say it. Sugoi is sugoi. Although it sounds strange, it’s compared to other Peter Pan, big Flying elephant still sounds much better."

　　 "It's good for you to understand, this is also a suitable name that we found after a long discussion..."

　　 The Fairy Commissioner smiled and put away the contract in his hand, carefully placing it in his portable document bag.

"For the sake of confidentiality, if you use Sukhoi directly, the risk is still too great. Therefore, we chose the [sugoi] with similar pronunciation and special meaning, so that it can be used as a camouflage layer for the main body of the company on the one hand, and on the other hand. It can make you from the Sukhoi Research Bureau more psychologically acceptable..."

　　 "Company names are all trivial things. Anyway, they sell magic broomsticks, not fighter jets."

　　Ognecka waved his hand, frowned, and said gruffly.

"But the unfolding mode and the cockpit that you requested, without a fixed steel frame, it is difficult for me to design it in consideration of aerodynamics. This is simply an optimization suggestion-supersonic flight in the aircraft. The requirements in terms of appearance and thrust are already quite demanding. This is not a matter of sacrificing speed, it will be deadly!"

　　 "No, please believe in magic... Mr. Ognechka, the physiques of people are different from each other..."

　　 The senior employee from Destiny smiled and shook his head, looked at the hand panel, and said.

"If the information on my side is not wrong, you probably have not seen wizards riding broomsticks moving at high speed in the sky, right? There are two Quidditch games at Hogwarts today. I have Two special audience tickets."

"In terms of dynamic vision, reaction speed, and physical strength, Hogwarts students-especially those who have been selected to the Quidditch teams of the various colleges-may not be much worse than the ace pilots you call. After watching those games, we here hope that you can add a limiter to the broom based on the actual situation..."

　　 "Limiter? What you wanted was supersonic flight, but now you want to reduce the speed?"

　　Ognechka repeated the sentence in confusion, staring at the wizard.

As a senior researcher, what he hates most is the demand side that changes like this, especially when they finally debugged the supersonic cross-generation product, the other party actually asked him to change back to the original one. Program.

　　 "Well, the theoretical upper limit determines how many rounds of iterative products we can release..."

　　 The fairy commissioner of Gringotts raised his finger and said in a shrill voice, his face covered with sly shrewdness.

"Whether it’s out of the market, out of people’s psychological tolerance, or out of fairness, when we launch these products, of course, we must slowly iterate and improve the speed and performance of brooms one after another. ——Only in this way can there be follow-up R&D support. If you say that, you should be understandable? Besides, we have to divide military and civilian use..."

　　 "Then what do you mean by the outline concept?"

　　 Ognecka frowned, tapped on the shorthand notebook in his hand, and asked in a muffled voice.

　　 "You asked for the most streamlined flying structure and asked us to optimize the broomstick, but you and I have to remind you again, even if all the wizards fly close to the broomstick, there will still be significant differences..."

　　 "Don't worry, about this, we have a professional team taking over the follow-up magic development..."

　　The wizard from the Destiny Group straightened up, exchanged a look with the goblin, and said confidently.

"Anyway, you clean up a little bit, then choose a researcher, and later you will go to Hogwarts Castle with me to watch the Quidditch match... By the way, due to the protective effect of the Muggle Deportation Curse, you You may have to sleep for a while when passing through the castle area, and the meal can only be solved in the stands..."

　　 "There are some corresponding precautions, I will give you more details next."

"As for your identity, one of the core researchers of [Sugoi Flying Broom Company], please make sure you don’t make a mistake. This is very important, because we may be arranged to sit with some Quidditch professional players...Of course , If you have any details that you need to ask, let me convey it as before..."

Great!
