From Azkaban

Hermione's style is very different from Ron's. Locke only needs to read it once to determine which parts of the paper were written by Ron himself and which parts were written with the help of Hermione.

Locke looked at his beloved disciple and couldn't help feeling a little helpless. What kind of crap world line was this? How come Ron still attracted Hermione? Locke really didn't know what Hermione saw in that brat.

Volume 1: Chapter 168: Initial Success

Locke did not dwell too much on these minor issues, and students' private affairs were not his concern, so after putting down the two papers in his hands, he looked at Hermione who was about to leave.

"Hermione, you're planning on going home this Christmas, right?"

Hermione, who had just turned halfway, stopped and looked at Locke again, "Yes, Professor."

Hermione was a little surprised why Locke asked her this question, and Locke immediately told her the answer.

"That's perfect, Hermione. As your club professor and also for the sake of my best students, I think it's necessary for me to meet your parents. What do you think?"

Locke did not inform Hermione right away, but instead asked for Hermione's own opinion first.

But it was obvious that Hermione would not refuse in such a situation. Not to mention refusing, Hermione felt very surprised after hearing Locke's words, and her beautiful eyes widened.

"Of course no problem Professor! My parents have been wanting to meet you for a long time!"

Hermione showed an excited smile on her face, and seeing her like this, Locke also smiled.

"Then it's settled. I will visit you after Christmas, which is on the 26th. Please tell your parents about this in advance and tell them not to prepare too much."

"I understand Professor! I'll tell my parents!"

Hermione nodded heavily, the excitement on her face growing stronger, she had never expected that Professor Cazier would actually visit her home.

This feeling is like you have been recommending your most admired idol to your parents, and one day, your idol suddenly tells you that he wants to visit your home, because of you, this feeling is amazing.

"Okay, go and do your own thing."

Hermione left with excitement and brisk steps. After he left, Locke also stood up and left the club room.

"Honey Fudge"

On the top of the tower, Locke stood outside the principal's office and read out today's password. The closed door opened quickly and Locke stepped in.

"Professor Cazier"

As soon as Locke walked into the principal's office, the principal's portrait hanging on the wall next to him greeted him one after another.

Faced with the portraits of successive headmasters of Hogwarts, Locke responded very politely one by one.

"How is the transformation experiment going, Professor Grindelwald?"

After greeting the portraits of the headmasters, Locke, who was planning when to hang up old Dumbledore as well, walked over and sat down opposite Grindelwald, who was obviously communicating with someone using the magic network.

"Professor Kazir, Gellert is in contact."

Dumbledore sat next to Grindelwald, and now after the showdown that day, Grindelwald no longer concealed himself in front of Dumbledore.

"You're here, Professor Casimir," Dumbledore said as Grindelwald suddenly ended the communication and exited the magic network. Judging from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, the result should be good.

"What's the result?" Locke had already guessed the result when he saw Grindelwald's expression, but he still asked out loud.

"Very good. I have to say that Professor Kazir is a true genius. The transformation technology you perfected is perfectly compatible with Muggle potions."

"According to our original estimate, as long as there were no mistakes in the process, the initial transformation of the Muggles could be completed within two days. However, the actual situation only took a little over a day."

"The transformed Muggles have now initially established a magic cycle with the help of magic patterns. All that needs to be done next is to wait."

Grindelwald had a smile on his face, and Locke also showed a satisfied smile when he heard his answer. Only Dumbledore lowered his eyebrows, as if he was worried.

"Very good. The next step is to carefully observe and collect data on the transformed Muggles. Have your people take the Muggles to Knockturn Alley. By the way, send me the data collected in the early stage."

Locke did not hide anything from Dumbledore. Under the current circumstances, the Round Table and Knockturn Alley could not hide it. In fact, with the showdown with Dumbledore, the Round Table had already begun to have contact with Grindelwald's saints.

This Muggle transformation experiment can be regarded as a real practical contact between the two sides. From now on, Locke will further cooperate with Grindelwald.

"Okay, I'll have them take their men to Camelot right away. It's really amazing. Although I know this is just an exaggerated metaphor of ordinary wizards, sometimes I really think that Professor Cazier might really be the reincarnation of Merlin."

Grindelwald looked at Locke with a sigh in his eyes and said that now, except Locke, no one mentioned the name Knockturn Alley anymore. Camelot had become a new name recognized by all wizards.

"........."

Faced with Grindelwald's ridicule, Locke did not answer. He just glanced at him, then logged into the magic network and carefully read the data sent by Grindelwald.

The Muggle-modified magic pattern no longer uses the magic power in the body to pry the magic power from the outside world, but instead uses the magic pattern to pry the magic power from the outside world into the Muggle's body.

Initially, it is necessary to use Muggle potions to transform the Muggle body with gentle efficiency so that the Muggle body can adapt to the flow of magic.

This is the first step. In the expected effect, after the transformation is completed, the Muggle's body will be able to carry and store magic power, but the amount of magic that can be mobilized is not much, probably to the level when Filch just gained the ability to cast spells.

Moreover, the transformed Muggle is like a battery, which can only rely on magic patterns to absorb magic power from the outside, and cannot have magic power flow infinitely from the heart and soul like a wizard.

Of course, that’s once it’s completely completed, and the entire transformation process is expected to last several months.

Before the transformation was completed, Locke also thought of other ways to help the Muggles undergoing transformation better get through this stage.

That is, after the Muggles have completed the initial transformation and acquired a certain degree of magical ability, try to let them use some specially made magic items.

This arrangement can not only speed up the transformation and improve the effect of the transformation by activating the magic power in the Muggles' bodies, but also allow Muggles to become initially familiar with the use of magic props, so that when the transformation is completely completed, they will be able to better master other magic props.

As for what that special magic item is, it is of course a device that allows Muggles to connect and log into the magic network.

"From the data so far, everything is going in the direction we expected. Now we just have to wait for someone to be sent to Knockturn Alley to confirm the performance of the eyepiece."

The eyepiece, also called the magic eyepiece, is a magic product specially developed for Muggles. The effect is very simple, similar to the virtual reality login device in science fiction movies.

With it, Muggles who have not yet completed the transformation can log in to the magic network without an account, because the eyepiece is the account, which is the Muggle version of the ring that Sirius and others used.

Volume 1: Chapter 169: Bold

The Muggle transformation magic patterns and potions have entered the final clinical trial stage. What Locke has to do next is to wait for the final results.

So before that, Locke can shift his attention to other things again, such as the development of magic circuits and new functions of the magic network that had been finalized before.

In addition to these two main directions, Locke also did not neglect some other personal research, all of which were progressing bit by bit.

While Locke was still busy, in Knockturn Alley, Grindelwald's saints entered Knockturn Alley with three Muggles.

"Ding~!"

The moment the saints stepped into Knockturn Alley, a prompt sounded in the central control room on the top floor of the high tower in the center of Knockturn Alley. At the same time, a light curtain unfolded, showing the scene where the saints were at the moment.

"The Saint of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald...isn't he a little too young?"

Lucius, who had received Locke's message and rushed to the central control room ahead of time, looked at the group of people in the light curtain with his eyes slightly narrowed.

In the current Round Table Council, the one who has the most contact with these saints is actually Rodolphus, who is rooted in France.

But even Rodolphus had never really come into face-to-face contact with the saints before.

It’s not that Rodolphus is incapable, but that Locke did not give such an order, so Rodolphus has always been very low-key.

"Mr. Malfoy, Minister of Magic Fudge is here."

Just as Lucius was observing the saints who looked a little too young on the screen, wondering what Grindelwald was planning by having these obviously younger wizards come, an ordinary member of the Round Table walked into the central control room, bent down and whispered in Lucius' ear.

"Fudge, what is this guy doing here?"

Everything really came together. Lucius stood up puzzled. Compared to the saints who would not arrive for some time, Fudge still needed to deal with the matter first. After all, the Ministry of Magic still needed him.

"Keep an eye on these guys and let them wander around the city more."

Lucius stood up with his cane in both hands and said to the wizard on duty.

"Yes, sir," the wizard who was called nodded and stared at the screen more seriously. At the same time, he logged into the magic network and contacted the wizards in the city to ask them to guide them and not let the saints reach the central building too quickly.

"Go, go."

Lucius walked out of the central control room quickly with quick footsteps, and the wizard who reported the incident hurried to follow.

"Minister Fudge is waiting in room three now, sir."

The tall wizard spoke up, and Lucius nodded when he heard his words. "I see, go do your thing."

"Okay sir"

The tall wizard stopped, bowed to Lucius, and left.

Lucius quickly arrived at the door of room number three. Without knocking, he simply reached out, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Minister Fudge, why are you coming to Camelot when you're not busy with your work at the Ministry of Magic?"

Although Lucius called him Minister Fudge, there was no proper respect in his tone. Instead, it was as if he was talking to an ordinary wizard.

"Mr. Malfoy, what you said is too polite. We are now in the same camp. We all work for Lord Cazier. It is normal for me to come to Camelot, right?"

Fudge didn't care about Lucius's bland tone and inquiring words. After joining the Round Table and getting to know him better, he now knew exactly how much power and wealth this guy held.

Not to mention that he has now joined the Round Table and his time as Minister of Magic is already counting down. Even if he had not yet joined the Round Table, he would definitely not be a match for Lucius.

There's nothing we can do about it. This guy not only possesses huge wealth and a large network of pure-blood families, but also has more power than the Ministry of Magic.

"Okay, Minister Fudge, there's no need to waste time on this. We all know exactly what you are, so just tell me, what do you want from me?"

Lucius raised his right hand and waved it, then walked forward with his cane in his left hand and sat opposite Fudge.

"Ha, Mr. Malfoy is still so straightforward. In that case, I'll tell you what I mean."

The smile on Fudge's face did not change at all with Lucius' attitude and words, and it was still as warm and brilliant.

"I have already put Umbridge in Azkaban for a hundred years, so I have to trouble you to tell the adults that from now on, the pink toad will never appear in the adults' sight again."

Fudge very skillfully brought up the things that Locke had previously assigned to him, to show that he really came for something important, and it was for Lord Cazier.

As Umbridge's boss, he had too much dirt on Umbridge in his hands. Combined with the power of the minister, it would be easy for him to sentence her to a hundred years in prison.

"Well, yes, I believe the adults will be happy to hear the news."

Sure enough, after hearing Fudge's words, Lucius's expression relaxed a little. No matter what this guy was like, at least he could do things for the adults, and that was enough.

As for Umbridge, Lucius held the same opinion as Fudge. Since this guy could make Lord Casirel bring him up alone, he must have done something unforgivable, so both of them treated this matter as an important matter.

What's important is not Umbridge, but Locke's attitude towards this matter.

"Ha, I think so too."

Fudge keenly noticed the change in Lucius' tone and expression, and his smile grew even brighter.

"By the way, Mr. Malfoy, regarding the matter we talked about last time, I have made new progress. Now it is basically certain that the next Minister of Magic will be Arthur."

"But there is one thing I need to discuss with you, Mr. Malfoy. I want to compete for the position of the next deputy minister. Don't worry, Mr. Malfoy. I have already told Arthur about this matter. He has no objection, but he asked me to come to you and asked you to report this matter to the adults and let the adults make the decision."

Fudge kept a smile on his face and spoke a long paragraph in a slow but clear voice.

"........."

Hearing this, Lucius looked at Fudge for a few seconds, and facing Lucius's gaze, Fudge kept smiling.

"Okay, I will report this to the adults."

After watching for a few seconds, Lucius nodded slowly. He realized that Fudge was just gambling.

He knew very well that although the affairs of the Ministry of Magic seemed to be run by him and Arthur, Lord Casimir still had to make the decisions on various key issues. This was a line that no one could cross.

And this guy Fudge was really bold for the sake of power. He was just gambling that Lord Cazier would be happy to hear the news that Umbridge was dealt with, and that Lord Cazier did not care that much about the position of deputy minister.

"Minister Fudge, I have a piece of advice for you. Do not try to guess what the Master is thinking. The Master has already seen everything, both now and in the future."

Lucius looked at Fudge deeply, left a meaningful word, then turned and left Room 3. He had wasted enough time, he had to go receive Grindelwald's saints and take in those Muggles.

Recommend a book, a good book of infinite flow, if you are interested, you can read "As long as I survive enough, there is nothing I can't survive"

Volume 1: Chapter 170 This Really Becomes Camelot

In Knockturn Alley, several saints from France were walking with three Muggles on the busy street.

"Is this Camelot? It's just like the legend says. The Round Table is in charge of such a big city. It's really powerful in Britain."

A wizard who looked to be in his early twenties slowed down his pace and kept looking around with his head raised as he walked.

"It is said that Camelot is divided into five regions by the Round Table Council. Each region has its own corresponding level. We are now in the third level area."

A young wizard with dark brown curly hair took over his conversation, and at this moment the wizard was also looking around.

Not only these two, but also the other saints beside them and the three Muggles who came with them were all shocked at this moment.

Everyone was looking up and around. As they moved forward, the terrain they were on rose a little bit. Soon, when everyone turned their heads to look, they were instantly attracted by the prosperous and wonderful market, buildings and streets behind them.

"It's amazing! Wizards, magic, the world we live in actually has this side, the Holy City of Camelot, this legendary city actually exists!"

Mobel looked at Knockturn Alley, of which he could only see a corner, and his eyes kept turning until they finally stopped on the most central and eye-catching building.

As one of the Muggles who was tricked into taking part in the experiment, Mobel himself is an unsuccessful novelist.
