From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Chapter 68 Pneumatic Spell

Devlin Whitehorn is a punctual wizard.

Just after a quarter past twelve, the gate of Malfoy Manor was knocked on time.

The alchemical creation on the cast iron gate truthfully conveyed Devlin Whitehorn's name. At Lucius's order, the gate opened and the guests entered.

Whitehorn had a neat short brown hair and a smile on his face, striding through the corridor of the Malfoy family manor.

"Lucius! It's been a long time since we last met. I'm so glad you invited me to the Malfoy family's Christmas party!" Whitehorn's voice came before he reached the door. He laughed and opened his arms, wanting to give Lucius a hug.

However, Lucius was indifferent. He didn't reach out a hand until Whitehorn arrived in front of him. It was his right hand. Perhaps because Ivy had given him too much shock at the beginning of the Christmas holiday, his left hand was tightly holding a cane with a pure silver python on the top of the cane. It seemed that Lucius was reluctant to let go of it.

Whitehorn's superficial skills were good. His smile did not change because of Lucius's impoliteness. He changed his posture without embarrassment and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Lucius.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Whitehorn. Come in, let's talk inside." Lucius replied in a slow tone, shook his hand gently and let go.

"Hello, Mr. Whitehorn." Malfoy interrupted at an inopportune time, "Do you have the Nimbus 2001?"

"Of course, kid, I..." Whitehorn was interrupted by Lucius before he finished speaking.

"Draco, didn't I ask you to wait in the reception room? Where is Mr. Doom?" Lucius apologized to Whitehorn while stopping his son's excitement, "Sorry, Mr. Whitehorn. This is my son, Draco. As you can see, he always likes your company's products."

"Ivy! Whitehorn is here!" Malfoy ran rashly to the reception room, leaving the two adults at the door.

"If you don't mind... please." Lucius shook his head and stretched out a hand to show Whitehorn the way.

"Lucius, you have to believe me. Although the sales of the Light Cycle 2000 are not bad, the Light Cycle 2001 is a product with more investment value!" After walking a few steps, Whitehorn couldn't help but get to the point.

But Lucius stretched out his hand to stop him: "Let's talk about that later. First, introduce your company's latest products to my son and his classmates."

Whitehorn showed a puzzled look on his face, but he still followed Lucius into the reception room. He didn't know that his investor was such a doting son.

Whitehorn keenly discovered that Lucius, who entered the reception room, immediately abandoned his previous arrogance and indifference and put on a warm face.

It seems that there are guests in the reception room that Lucius wants to win over. I am just a bargaining chip for him.

The founder of the Light Cycle Company thought, but he was not angry, because at this juncture, he was unwilling to risk losing the sponsorship of any investor.

Sitting on the armchair in the living room was a handsome boy. As soon as they met, Whitehorn had an inappropriate thought - should I persuade him to be the spokesperson for the Nimbus Company? He will make the Nimbus Company continue to be great. Didn't Lockhart's adventure story become popular because of a smiling face?

Just as he was looking at Ivy, Ivy was doing the same thing.

His well-dressed clothes proved that he was financially strong. However, the oil stains on his shirt showed that he didn't have much time. He didn't even have time to check his appearance before going out. The collar under his ears turned outward and the wrinkles on the edge of his robe that were not easy to see all proved this.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Whitehorn." Ivy introduced himself briefly, "I'm Ivy Doom."

"Hello, Mr. Doom." Whitehorn hesitated, not knowing what words to use to impress Ivy to be the spokesperson for the Nimbus Company.

"Let's open our eyes! Mr. Whitehorn! Nimbus 2001!" Malfoy couldn't wait. After the two greeted each other, he immediately urged Whitehorn to take out the latest model of broom.

"Well... although it is still an internal secret, who can blame Lucius for being my most important partner?" Whitehorn didn't hesitate and quickly took out a beautiful broom from the bag that cast the traceless extension spell.

Nimbus 2001 uses black and silver as the color scheme. The main body is slightly shorter than Nimbus 2000, but the branch part at the tail is longer.

"Cool!" The color scheme of Nimbus 2001 immediately attracted Malfoy, a Slytherin. He rubbed his hands excitedly and seemed to want to ride it very much.

"This is Nimbus 2001, my latest design. Although there are still some details that have not been completed, it looks like this in general." Whitehorn introduced it proudly.

"I see." Ivy showed a look of realization, "I guess this broom must have taken you a lot of time, right? But its performance has been improved very little. Adjustable footrests and a more comfortable handle, except for the more recognizable color scheme, the Nimbus 2001 can only be regarded as an improved version of the Nimbus 2000."

Whitehorn showed an uneasy look on his face, and glanced at Lucius with trepidation, but the latter had no time to pay attention to him and was still paying attention to Ivy's every move.

"I can see that you are trying very hard to make it fly faster. After all, the Nimbus Company has always been famous for the best brooms for competitions. The Nimbus 2000 is already a groundbreaking product in Quidditch competitions, but you are still so anxious to launch the Nimbus 2001. It seems that someone has put a lot of pressure on you on the competition broom." Ivy was talking about the Firebolt, of course. It is now 1992, and there is only more than a year away from the Firebolt's sudden appearance.

It seems that corporate espionage cannot be banned even in the wizarding world.

"What? How did you know?" Whitehorn was surprised. He didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so well-informed.

"Let's talk about business, Mr. Whitehorn." Ivy took out his wand and pointed at the Nimbus 2001 in his hand and said, "Windbreaker."

This is a pneumatic spell created by Ivy himself, referring to the 0-level trick Wind Dance and the 2-level spell Wind Creation, as well as the Bubblehead Charm that wizards like to use. It can create an air cover in the direction of the broom's forward movement, changing the aerodynamic shape during flight to reduce the resistance from the air.

Even if you ride a bicycle on the ground, you can clearly feel the wind resistance when the speed exceeds 30 kilometers per hour. The flying brooms of wizards are faster, and they not only need to use magic to overcome the shaking they produce during flight, but also to ensure that they do not fall off.

Therefore, Ivy invented this spell. Although it has not been tested, he believes that it will definitely make the speed of the flying broom even higher, and it can also resist the invasion of wind and rain to a certain extent, because the aerodynamic shape provided by the aerodynamic spell is the result of Ivy's reference to water droplets.
