Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

"Muggles have come up with many novel desserts and drinks, such as this. Les waved his wand and filtered out all the residue in the cup of coffee handed to Hufflepuff, so as not to affect the taste.

"I've drunk this stuff, and it has a good refreshing effect. The effect of the first few times I took it is almost as good as the potion." What surprised Les was that Hufflepuff had actually drunk this magical Muggle drink.

"Hundreds of years ago, Abyssinian shepherds on the southern coast of the Mediterranean chewed coffee cherries to refresh themselves. I drank it several times while traveling there - this drink was mostly used in religious places. People think that if they want to get close to the gods, they have to overcome their desire for sleep." Hufflepuff also briefly introduced the origin of coffee to Les.

"Okay," Les shrugged, "but you've definitely never tried those amazing desserts."

As he spoke, Les took out a small box filled with all kinds of sweets he had prepared in advance - under the protection of magic, these sweets were as fresh as if they had just been baked.

Hufflepuff picked a random piece from it and put it in her mouth. After just two chews, her eyes widened.

"Too sweet!!!" Hufflepuff did not rate the dessert provided by Les too highly, because she felt that it was too sweet and it caught her by surprise.

Compared to people in the 10th century AD, the food that modern people eat is a little too sweet.

"Just get used to it." Les said lightly.

"I think we should at least reduce the amount of sugar by half." Hufflepuff still felt that the taste of this stuff was too strong.

After exchanging opinions on desserts, both of them felt a little tired and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest. Before going back to the room, Les remembered something and took out a simple-looking wand from his arms.

"Helga, do you remember this wand?" Les handed the wand he bought from Ollivander's Wand Shop to Hufflepuff.

"Oh?" Hufflepuff took the wand and looked at it twice, and the dusty memories of the past came to mind.

"It's so hard for you, but you can actually find the descendants of the wand maker."

"His descendants are still making wands, and they have become the leading wand-making masters in the wizarding world." Rice briefly told the story of the Ollivander family, and Hufflepuff nodded repeatedly.

"So maybe what's written on their sign is true?" Hufflepuff looked at the wand in his hand, and suddenly felt a "heaviness" of history - it comes with wand-making skills that have been passed down for thousands of years. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of dozens of generations of wand makers.

"It's very possible that their family's wand-making history can be verified for a thousand years, and it may be even older." Rice used his own and his friends' personal experiences to prove the history of the Ollivander family.

"But now Ollivander is a little stuck in its ways. They only use three types of cores to make their wands. Although it is more stable, it lacks some changes, just like the magic world today."

They are all entities that pursue eighty points for all members. Unlike ancient wizards, some people can achieve one hundred points while others can only achieve sixty points.

After handing the wand back to Hufflepuff, Les went back to his room to sleep, while Hufflepuff stayed in the corridor to get used to his "new" wand. Although she has reached a point where she doesn't need a wand very much, she still carries a wand every day driven by habit. A wizard without a wand is incomplete.

Not to mention, the ancestors of the Ollivander family were really good at craftsmanship. The wand didn't feel awkward at all in her hands and was very comfortable to use.

…

Two days later, after another setback, the four returned to London.

Until he walked out of the airport, Hufflepuff still had a look of shock on his face: How could Muggles have developed to this point after not seeing each other for a thousand years? !

On the plane, she briefly wondered who could do magic. Even Old Viper would have a hard time making a similar alchemical creation, right? Can it carry hundreds of people in the sky comfortably for thousands of miles and provide meals?

She once asked Les on the plane, and the answer she received was: It is difficult and takes a long time. Even if it is done, it will only be an imitation of Muggles' works.

Let him be original, and he will never think of a creation of this style. If you give the same requirement to yourself who has never seen an airplane, he will most likely end up with a flying house.

What's even more outrageous is that Muggles can produce this kind of alchemical creation. Hufflepuff was stunned when he saw a dozen similar creations on the tarmac of the airport.

The development of Muggles had a huge impact on her.

"In terms of transportation, we are too far behind." Hufflepuff said sincerely after learning that modern wizards still rely on broomsticks to travel.

"Not really. We still have things like portkeys and floo networks, but they don't form a complete system." Les gave his friend a detailed introduction to these two new gadgets invented by wizards.

"These seem to be things invented a hundred years ago. What has happened in the magic world in the past hundred years? Why can't we see any progress?" Hufflepuff immediately grasped the key point: from Salazar's description, She found that the development of the magical world seemed to have stagnated?

These words made Les frown: Helga was telling the truth. A hundred years ago, the gap between the magical world and the non-magical world was not so wide. The truly shocking inventions were born in the last hundred years.

"Maybe it was the influence of the Statute of Secrecy that caused wizards to miss an era of great development." In the end, he could only blame it all on the Statute of Secrecy.

"Maybe we should do something."

"That makes sense, go back and ask Rowena."

The two reached a consensus in a very short period of time.

"By the way, do you have a place to live during this period? Why don't you settle down at my place first?" Les thought of Hufflepuff. He kind of wanted to take this wizard who was proficient in food magic to his dessert shop.

Hufflepuff naturally had no objection: she didn't have the money of a modern wizard, and she just needed a way to make money and a place to stay. It would be great to be able to prostitute her old friend's residence for free.

The two immediately parted ways with Daphne and the Astoria sisters, and headed straight to Diagon Alley.

After entering Diagon Alley, Hufflepuff was not dazzled by the bustling alley. The first thing she did was to write a cover letter to the current headmaster of Hogwarts.

"You are really impatient." Les couldn't help but complain.

In his opinion, Helga was wasting her efforts, but what shocked him was that less than ten minutes after the letter was sent out, the owl brought back a reply-it also included an interview invitation!

"Salazar, do you know where Rupert's Sweet Shop is? Albus Dumbledore asked me to interview there."

Les:…
