Chapter 115
It was inconvenient to have flower beds everywhere in the yard, so Ma En put down a blanket on the marble floor in front of the black tea house.
Since the Ministry of Magic no longer banned flying carpets, many businesses have launched their own flying carpets, but compared to flying carpets, ordinary blankets that have not been magically processed are more popular.
Unlike brooms, people who choose flying carpets often consider family factors. At present, the market in this area has not yet taken shape. Most flying carpets actually replace the magic carried on the broomstick with a piece of cloth, which is not considered comfortable.
And another thing is, the type of flying carpet that every family needs is different.
The blanket that Ma En got was two yards long horizontally and about three yards vertically. It was not too big. He planned to use it as a daily travel tool with some protective equipment.
The original plan of making a flying house was changed after a sudden inspiration to find a way to make the black tea house fly into the sky with the surrounding land... This actually won the approval of the two little witches.
Not long after, after Marne added all the imaginable magic to the commonly used flying carpet, Esther and Hermione had just finished measuring the land, held a piece of paper in their hands, and walked over.
The entire black tea house, together with the cultivated land on the left, Margaery's simple potion workshop on the right, plus hundreds of millions of blank spaces, would take a total of less than [-] yards in diameter.
Marn had already told Dumbledore about this in advance. He originally planned to buy this place, but Dumbledore said that he should just turn the big hole left behind into a beautiful scenery.
This is not difficult. You can just build a circular retro building, divide it into two areas for men and women, and add some magic to make an artificial indoor hot spring. Next to it is the Black Lake, and the water source can be easily solved. Someone should come...
After reading the drawings carefully several times, Ma En walked around the house, preparing to drill holes in the ground. A voice came from a distance: "Ma En~ Look who is back, hahahaha..."
He turned around and saw a chubby figure coming from the direction of the principal's office. It was Compton, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month.
"Computing? Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going back to the Ministry of Magic?"
The temperature was still very cold at this time, but Comptin was wearing a lot of clothes, and was covered in "warm layers". When he walked a few steps to Ma En's side, his breathing was slightly short, and the top of his head was also a little puffy. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the beads of sweat, and then answered:
"Don't mention it. Umbridge said she wanted to set up an Auror team near the school just after we got back. I don't know why it fell on me."
"A good thing or a bad thing?" Ma En asked.
"Of course it's a good thing. There's less work, high security, no need to run around, and the salary has gone up a bit."
"Okay, Comptin, didn't you say that you are of Fudge's group?"
Comptin was also a little confused about this. He touched his head and said: "I can't figure out why...but Umbridge seems to be a different person now. I'm beginning to believe that she was asked to do that by Fudge before. .”
"Who knows..." Ma En knew what was going on and said noncommittally to Comptin's answer, "Are you the only one?"
"There are two more. It's customary to be in a three-person group. I'll first apply for accommodation with Mr. Dumbledore. The Ministry of Magic has informed Hogwarts, and we have agreed."
"Well, anyway, congratulations first..." Ma En said, while holding hands, pulling out pieces of earth and rocks from the hole in the ground, and hollowing out the bottom.
The ground foundation of the black tea house has been reinforced by him, and the magic attached to the fountain has also been changed by him. Fetching water from the black lake has become a method of drawing water molecules from the air. The air in this place is probably the most indispensable. It's just water... The climate is mild at best, but very humid at worst.
"Are you here?" Comptin asked with interest as he looked at the busy little wizard.
"I plan to lift the black tea house so that it can fly. Normally, find an open space, two or three meters above the ground, and make a staircase that can be lowered. When it is useful, it can be raised to a high altitude. In the future, it can even be used directly Traveling...just prepare the confusion spell."
Casual questions and answers will not delay the progress of Ma En's project. Comptin seemed to be very interested in this. He carefully inquired about the internal structure and seemed to plan to do the same in his own home.
It's not a secret, there are only a few magic spells to be clarified in order and location. Marn introduced each item to Comptin while pouring the mud and rocks at the bottom.
After experiencing the second evolution, Marne's magic has become more than rough, and has become extremely sophisticated in manipulation. Therefore, although the area is not small, when Hermione and Esther command a nearly circular formation made of stone slabs, When the heavy platform came over, he had almost hollowed out the bottom.
Aster was in front, found a flat open space, and gently put the platform down, while Hermione ran around and measured the platform and the surroundings of the black tea house. If there is any inappropriateness, she can adjust it and fly back to do it again. But that's troublesome.
After everything was prepared and confirmed that there was no problem, Marn also hollowed out the bottom. Looking over, Hermione stood between the black tea house and the platform, nodding lightly. Marn rarely took out his wand---this thing is better than The fingers are longer, so be more precise - slowly wave the wand upwards, and the whole house, which was originally suspended in the pit, and the nearby land, slowly rise up.
After lifting it up, there was no rush to put it on the platform. Marn used magic to hold up the land. Hermione and Esther walked down together and smoothed the uneven places one by one until the bottom was completely smooth, then signaled Marn that it was okay. Continue to the next step.
The platform next to it was custom-made by someone in Diagon Alley. It is made of gray marble and is slightly larger than the ground. The portals and railings erected around it have been prepared in advance. I originally wanted to use white, but Ma En saw it. Looking at the color, I always think of cemeteries, so I chose gray. Although it looks a bit earthy, it is quite resistant to stains.
Directing the two positions to slowly combine, he adjusted the position while placing it to ensure that the corresponding places between the black tea house and the circular platform were accurate. After a slight collision sound, the two huge objects covering more than ten acres were completely combined.
Flying, levitation, and other messy magics had been prepared on the platform in advance. Ma En walked a few steps along the steps, came to the blank space of the marble threshold, and gently twisted the ball on the top of the half-person-high pillar on the left. This Houses levitate from the ground.
After twisting the right side again, the eleven steps "grew" out from the bottom and tentatively connected to the ground.
