Hogwarts founder returns to campus

Chapter 43 8 Sound Boxes

Time flies, and a month will pass in a blink of an eye.

Autumn in the Scottish Highlands came on time, the temperature has gradually turned cooler, the rain has begun to cover the entire highlands, and the sunny weather is getting less and less.

The grass outside the castle was drenched and muddy.Faced with such weather, most of the students stayed in Hogwarts Castle except for the players who needed to face the start of the college Quidditch Cup.

evening.

In the warm lounge of Hufflepuff, Cassandra stood on the armchair by the window, just enough for her to see the scenery outside the window, her little face was facing the direction of the Quidditch pitch, and she looked eagerly at Cedric After dinner they hurried to Quidditch practice.

"You'd better come down. If you fall from here, I'm afraid you won't be able to participate in Quidditch." Salazar said while sitting in the armchair, flipping through the books.

Salazar's words were obviously heard by Cassandra, she jumped off the chair carefully, and then wiped off all the dust on it with her hands.

In front of her was a hand-drawn design drawing, where she could see various parts. Cassandra didn't go out recently, and stayed obediently in the lounge, just tinkering with this design drawing.

"What do you want?" Salazar asked.

The parts on the blueprint are very complicated, and there are various gears and other mechanisms.

"Music box, have you heard of it?" Cassandra's design was completed a few days ago, and she has already begun to make those metal gears and other parts.

Now she got a log out of nowhere and is breaking it into smaller pieces with a cutting spell.

Salazar nodded: "I have heard that it is a Muggle entertainment prop, but I remember that now they have more advanced electronic equipment, which has replaced this ancient mechanical device."

Justin, who was buried in his homework, raised his head and rubbed his wrists. In front of him was a half-filled piece of parchment.

"Listening to your words, I always have a feeling of unreality. If I heard two people talking like this on the street before entering Hogwarts, I would definitely think they are crazy!" Justin said .

Ernie next to him was also immersed in his homework on the history of magic. The history of magic course was boring, and even the homework was boring.

Just like this weekend's homework, you need to copy all the relevant history about the demon Emeric that you learned in class on parchment.

After Justin spoke, Ernie also put down his homework, and he asked, "Justin, do you Muggle do your homework in the same way?"

"Elementary school doesn't have homework, do you understand happy education?" Justin sighed, "You can't imagine the beauty of the Muggle world, like this weather, if the rain is heavier, we can stay at home and play game consoles. "

"What is a game console?" Hannah couldn't resist the temptation to be lazy, and asked, putting aside her homework.

"It's something that can display pictures on the computer screen. You can control the villains to fight everywhere. It's very fun!" Justin said, dancing, the wind blowing between his palms almost made the parchment fly out.

"Is it fun to play crackling cards? Is it fun to play wizard chess? Is it fun to have gobstones?" Ernie obviously scoffed at Justin's words.

"Of course it has to be fun! To put it bluntly, isn't Gaobushi just a pinball that sprays stinky juice? Wizard Chess is just chess, that is, it can attack automatically. I think it's normal!" Justin retorted.

"Normal? I know that the so-called computer of Muggles is just an iron box with a piece of glass in it? What's so interesting? I can blow it up with a single spell!" Ernie retorted.

"Explode the computer? Are you throwing your crackling explosion card on my computer?" Justin snorted and immediately retorted.

The two soon got into an argument over the issue, and the History of Magic homework was thrown aside.They both felt that the entertainment they played was the best, and they tried to convince each other while arguing.

Just when the two of them were intensifying, and they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight, suddenly something shining with silver light flew over from the direction of Cassandra, passed in front of the two of them, and then hit the wall, making a crisp "" "ding" sound.

Justin took a deep breath, looked at the long piece of metal on the ground and said, "Hiss! Cassandra, although we quarreled a bit, it's not a crime, is it?"

"Sorry!" Cassandra ran over to pick up the strip with a blushing face, "There was a small problem, the mainspring didn't go in."

On her desk was a rough wooden box, but the lid had been cracked.

"What spell did you use? Give this clockwork piece?" Salazar asked.

"The softening spell before it fits into this barrel," Cassandra said.

The working principle of the music box is very simple, that is, the spring drives the sound cylinder to rotate, and the sound cylinder will touch the sound comb, and the protruding particles on the sound comb and the sound cylinder will vibrate in contact with each other, and then the sound will be produced and combined into music.

Now Salazar already knows what kind of magical animal Cassandra wants to get in touch with, and this magical animal may still be the target of Quirrell.

"Try it with the Twisting Charm. Although the Softening Charm allows you to put the mainspring in, when you turn the mainspring, the Twisting Charm will conflict with your turning force. This is the end result. The bar bounced back and flew out," Salazar said.

"Twisting Curse?" Cassandra thought for a while, and immediately began to try.

The metal strip changed by the twisting spell slowly bends and finally becomes something like a mosquito coil, which can be smoothly put into the barrel and fixed without being ejected again.

"Awesome!" Cassandra clapped her hands, "I still have questions to ask, like here, how can I make the gears more detailed? So far this is the limit of what I can do ..."

In the process of asking Cassandra for advice, Salazar found that her magic foundation was very solid, and many basic spells could be cast, but she lacked real practice, so she couldn't fully apply it in life.

She can cast common spells such as the twisting spell and the locking spell. Under Salazar's instructions, the music box is being assembled step by step.

When Cassandra blessed the last fixed spell, the music box was finally completed.

Her eyes seemed to be shining, she looked at the music box with a smile on her face, and began to rub off some burrs that still existed on it with parchment paper.

"It's done!" She held up the polished music box with an "s" engraved in the middle, and it looked like a decent music box.

Stuffing the music box into her small bag, Cassandra used a cleaning spell to clean up all the sawdust on the table, and sneaked out of the lounge when Hannah and the others didn't notice.
