After confirming that the use of magic here would never be detected by the Ministry of Magic, the first thing Avada did was to spend two nights using his mental power to grind away the traces in his wand.
Anyway, he would not participate in the Goblet of Fire competition, and no one would check his wand, so there would be no problem doing this.
After a few days of getting along, Avada got along well with the Shafik family, and also had a preliminary understanding of them - completely different from the Slytherin pure-blood aristocrats shown in the original book. They were neither as arrogant as the Malfoy family, nor as crazy as the Lestranges, nor as contemptuous of blood as Sirius Black, who was a pure-blooded alien. On the contrary, they were deeply proud of their surnames and bloodlines, but they were also very clear about the source of these honors.
Moreover, the Shafik family was not only a pure-blood aristocrat, but also a well-known business family in the British wizarding world. Many companies owned or invested in by them are well-known for producing and improving alchemical products. Among them, the most famous flying broom companies "Nimbus" and "Comet" have their shares. There are even rumors that the Shafik family is behind the mysterious factory "Floo Powder" that produces Floo powder.
However, Mr. Shafik clearly stated that this is a rumor.
One of the benefits of investing in these alchemical product companies is that you can experience in advance those products that have just been developed and have not yet been put on the market. For example, now-
"Children, look! The sample just sent by the Nimbus Company, the latest research results, Nimbus 2000!"
"2000?!"
Mrs. Shafik obviously knew some inside information in advance, so she seemed very calm. On the contrary, Baron stared with his eyes wide open: "Wasn't the previous model 1705? How did it jump directly to 2000? Have they made a technological breakthrough?"
"That's right!"
Mr. Shafik held the broom handle tightly, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to ride the broom for a ride: "The new power valve technology can easily control the six hundred power bars, so that they can achieve perfect unity without interference, so the speed reaches an unprecedented 150 miles per hour, and it only takes ten seconds from starting to maximum speed!"
"Oh my God!"
Avada and Baron exclaimed at the same time. Six hundred power bars! What a concept!
The history of magic in the first grade has already talked about the birth and iteration of the flying broom, so Avada roughly knows the basic structure of the flying broom: control rod, balance spine, stabilizer, power valve, power bar cluster.
The joystick is used by the driver to control the broom; the balance ridge is used to ensure the overall balance of the broom and keep it floating; the stabilizer provides comfort and safety for the operator (the cushion spell is part of it); the power valve is used to adjust the power, and the power bar cluster... is the broom-like things at the end of the broom.
According to historical records, in order to increase the speed of the vehicle as much as possible, the inventor of the flying broom chose to precisely apply the repulsion spell to small wooden strips, then tie them together, and use a special core (power valve) to adjust the output and eliminate interference. As a result, a powerful propeller with multiple repulsion spells condensed in a small area was obtained, which became an epoch-making invention at the time.
Unfortunately, when he completely assembled this great vehicle, everyone's first reaction was "Isn't this thing a broom?"
Therefore, the name "flying broom" gradually replaced its original name "cluster power flying stick" in the long history and became a household name.
Before the advent of the Nimbus 2000, the fastest broom, the Nimbus 1705, had only 420 power bars!
"It will definitely dominate all Quidditch matches!"
Baron praised excitedly.
"Ah, no, it may only dominate professional Quidditch matches..." Mr. Shafik shook his head and laughed, "Because the production cost of the new power valve is too high, and there is no way to achieve mass production yet, the production is limited, which will cause its price to be ridiculously high. I'm afraid only professional teams can afford it."
"But this also has its advantages. The performance of this broom can only be fully utilized by professional players. Amateur players will not only find it difficult to control it, but also waste performance. It's better to continue using Comet or Sweep... No more words, try it now!"
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Shafik couldn't wait to get on his broom, and then disappeared into the sky with a whoosh. Fortunately, Shafik Manor was large enough, and there was a large open grassland outside that was rarely visited by people, so they could play freely without violating the Statute of Secrecy.
After Mr. Shafik had a good time, Baron and Mrs. Shafik also rode their brooms for a few laps. Finally, Avada, who was not very interested in Quidditch, also rode the broom after being persuaded by his family. The feeling was really great, but when he was about to reach full speed, he was a little scared and dared not drive: that was 150 miles per hour! The speed was almost as fast as the high-speed train!
"Huh - the letter from the Light Wheel Company said that this broom will be on sale in two days. It's just right for us to go to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies for the new semester and take a look at their counter..."
After flying around again, Mr. Shafik wiped his sweat and walked back with everyone, talking about the next trip. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the horizon with a curious look in his eyes.
"Coo!"
In the direction of Mr. Shafik was looking, an owl was gliding quickly. When it flew over Mr. Shafik's head, its claws loosened and it dropped an envelope, which slowly fell into his hand.
"Is it the Malfoy family's owl?" Mrs. Shafik asked uncertainty, "Why are they writing to us at this time?"
"Let me see..."
Mr. Shafik opened the envelope, took out the letter and unfolded it. After reading it, his expression looked a little strange: "They hope to visit here in two days and invite us to go shopping in Diagon Alley."
"Huh? Why?" Mrs. Shafik and Baron's faces also became strange.
Mr. Shafik looked down at the letter in his hand and said, "The letter says that the Malfoy child, Draco Malfoy, will also go to Hogwarts this year, so he wants to visit Baron, the top student of the previous class, in advance to make friends and exchange experiences..."
"Also, they said that a new magical wood has been cultivated in Malfoy Manor, which is a variant of mahogany. Maybe it can greatly reduce the load on the Nimbus 2000 power valve and achieve mass production faster... They are quite well-informed."
"If it's true as they said, it's a good thing." Mrs. Shafik nodded slightly, then said worriedly: "But they are not..."
"It shouldn't be a big problem." Mr. Shafik shook his head and said, "Anyway, Voldemort has disappeared for more than ten years, and Lucius has not only not been held accountable, he has also become a director of Hogwarts. No matter what happened in the past, the important thing is that they can create value for society now..."
"Besides,"
he suddenly laughed sarcastically, "Harry Potter, who killed his master as soon as he was born, entered the school in the same year as his son. I'm afraid Lucius is also panicking right now, so he came to win us over."
"But what about Ken in this case?"
Baron asked, "I remember that the Malfoy family is a fanatical pure-blood theorist. If they knew that Ken was born a Muggle..."
"Then I will tell them when introducing Ken that even Dumbledore has to avoid his name."
Mr. Shafik replied calmly.
