Chapter 97

[Nicolas Flamel: It's a very good idea, more universal than the two-way mirror, and it integrates alchemy into everyday life. Great job, Ethan!]

[Ethan Adrian: I just borrowed the Muggle communication method and adapted it to the wizard's method. This is also thanks to your summer teachings; otherwise, I wouldn't have the skills to do this.]

[Nicolas Flamel: I know that Muggles have this technology too. In fact, I have a mobile phone, but I never thought to apply it like this. Knowing something and putting it into practice are two different things.]

[Nicolas Flamel: Remember, I told you about "imagination and creation" when you started. This is a crucial part of developing alchemy. I hope you keep it up.]

[Ethan Adrian: I understand, teacher!]

[Nicolas Flamel: Go to Dumbledore. He can apply for a patent for you. My current identity isn't suitable for public appearances, but I'll communicate with him about this.]

[Fleur Delacour: School has started. Brenda is still so annoying. I miss you!]

[Ethan Adrian: I miss you too!]

[Fleur Delacour: I'll spend this summer at your house. I've already talked to my parents.]

[Ethan Adrian: Welcome! But my house is in the Muggle world. Do you have restrictions on spellcasting outside of school at Beauxbatons?]

[Gabrielle Delacour: My sister has gone back to school. It's just me, my mother, and grandmother at home. I'm so bored. I want to come and play with brother!]

[Ethan Adrian: Be good. Your sister said she'll come to my house during the summer vacation, so we'll meet then.]

[Gabrielle Delacour: That's after Christmas, which is still a long way off. And my sister didn't agree to take me.]

[Ethan Adrian: I'll prepare a Christmas gift for you, Gabrielle, and I'll talk to your sister. How could she not bring the lovely Gabrielle!]

[Gabrielle Delacour: Yes, yes! I don't want to go to Beauxbatons to study; I want to go to Hogwarts!]

[Patrick Adrian: Where's my car! Return it soon!]

[Ethan Adrian: Hello, I can't reply to your message right now. Please leave a message, and I'll respond later, thank you!]

[Patrick Adrian: Car, car, my car, return it soon!]

[Noele Adrian: How's everything going at school?]

[Ethan Adrian: Everything is going well.]

[Noele Adrian: That's good. What do you need the car for? When your father found out from the servants that one of the cars was missing, he almost flew home overnight.]

[Ethan Adrian: I'm going to modify it into a wizarding car. Flying brooms are not practical.]

[Noele Adrian: That broom really isn't great. It's not safe. What if you fall? We should have a few backups. If one fails, we can keep trying. I'll take care of this matter.]

[Ethan Adrian: Got it. I'll empty the garage when I come home for Christmas!]

[Ethan Adrian: Add another bottle of magic potion. Can it be ready before Christmas?]

[Bruno: Sure, it can be ready before christmas!]

[Ethan Adrian: Then buy the materials and start as soon as possible!]

[Bruno: Got it!]

After replying to the messages, Ethan put away the address book in his hand. He could chat in real time with almost no delays.

It was already a fairly mature version. It would be even better if it could record images and send them in the future.

This part required further study after obtaining a two-way mirror. The two-way mirror was invented by a wizarding family in Italy and patented. Although Nico had studied it, he didn't teach Ethan about it.

Due to the decline of the family, the technology was deteriorating, leading to low production. However, they held onto the patent tightly, resulting in almost no recent production—most mirrors on the market were decades old.

Ethan decided to name the address book "Wizard Mailbox."

Ethan spent over a week adding search spells and other minor spells to perfect it. The name written on the cover served as a code that couldn't be changed once confirmed.

To search for others, the user had to enter the name, or code, written on the cover. Communication required both parties to write each other's code names on the parchment, enabling successful communication.

You could add more pieces of parchment yourself. Ethan had over ten, each marked with the name of the person being communicated with.

After completing it, Ethan and Cassandra tested it at school, and it worked well.

Ethan then sent copies to Nico and his wife, Fleur, and others in France. His parents, Bruno, and Dennis in Knockturn Alley also received theirs.

But did he need to register a patent?

Ethan hadn't registered a patent for the Buraffio's Brain Elixir either. It wasn't a complex potion, and any skilled potioneer could reverse-engineer it from the ingredients.

After several experiments, they could probably figure out the precise formula.

Not to mention, Snape had likely studied it already, but it wasn't worth it for a potioneer to risk their reputation over something like this. They usually had their own potions that they'd researched or improved, so having one more or one less under their name didn't make much difference.

As for money, none of them lacked it. For example, the selling price of Felix Felicis was at least ten times the cost of the materials.

It was the less fortunate, underprivileged pure-blood families that wanted these potions but lacked the expertise to analyze them.

As a result, Buraffio's Brain Elixir wasn't available on the market, and only Ethan and a few people at Hogwarts were producing it.

Of course, another significant reason was that the Buraffio's Brain Elixir hadn't been widely publicized.

When you go abroad, especially to smaller countries, they'd quickly patent something you hadn't applied for faster than a dog chasing after bones. Reputation wouldn't matter to them.

After considering all this, Ethan decided to apply for the patent for both the Wizard Mailbox and the Buraffio's Brain Elixir.

With Dumbledore's influence, Ethan wasn't worried about anyone trying to steal his inventions.

Ethan couldn't ask Dumbledore for help directly, but with Nico's involvement, there would be no problem.

Dumbledore owed Nico a lot of favors. Not to mention the matter of fishing for Voldemort with the Philosopher's Stone, Dumbledore had asked Nico many questions when he was in school, and later, when dealing with Grindelwald, he had also received Nico's help.

As for the favor owed to Nico, it didn't matter. Ethan would naturally help Nico if he needed it.

"Ethan! Ethan!"

Ethan, who was walking towards the principal's office, suddenly heard a shout from behind him and turned his head in confusion.

He immediately saw Ronald holding a wooden barrel.

He was not in good condition now.

His face was pale, and his body was weak.

He needed Harry's support to stand firmly. "What happened to Ronald?"

"What happened?"

"Ronald was hit by his own spell. Look at him now!"

Ethan looked in the direction Harry pointed.

Ugh~~

Ronald lowered his head and opened his mouth very wide. A fat, sticky slug was being expelled from Ronald's mouth.

There was already half a barrel of slugs in the wooden barrel at this point, which gave people goosebumps.

Ethan couldn't help but take a step back. To be honest, this was much scarier than Lockhart's Cornish pixies.

"Ronald failed when he used the spell, and the wand bounced it back. We went to Hagrid, but he couldn't help; he said that we needed someone to remove the spell, so we returned to the castle to see who could assist."

Seeing Ethan retreating in disgust, Harry could only repeat it. He was his good friend, so he could only bear with it.

At first, Harry wanted to find the twins or Percy. They were older and might have a solution.

Now that he had met Ethan, he would naturally not go far. In terms of strength alone, Harry thought that Ethan might be stronger than Percy, the class leader.

This person could use himself as a weapon and shield to fight Voldemort. Would he dare?

"Treacle fudge"

A red light hit Ronald.

After more than ten seconds, Ronald vomited another fat slug.

"Failed?"

Harry frowned. If Ethan couldn't solve it, was he going to find the professor?

"No, it succeeded. The spell was lifted, but the slug that had already grown in his stomach was still there."

Ethan could feel that his spell was effective. Even without a wand, it was easy to remove Ronald's magic.

"Thank you!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and helped Ronald sit on the ground with the wooden bucket to vomit.

"Who did you have a conflict with again? You actually used this magic?"

To be honest, if anyone used this magic on me, outside of Hogwarts, he would be reduced to ashes.

Even if it was inside Hogwarts, Ethan would use the curse-type black magic germination spell he had drawn before and give him a few shots. Even if the professor could remove it, I wouldn't stop the curse, and let's see if you can survive!

Anyway, just do it secretly; I have the ability not to be discovered unless I see it with my own eyes.

"It was Malfoy. Just now, when we were fighting with Slytherin for the Quidditch field, Ronald and Malfoy had a conflict. Malfoy said he wanted his father to go to the Ministry of Magic with other pure-blood families to expel Mr. Weasley and drive Ronald and me out of Hogwarts, so Ronald took action."

Although he was delayed due to Ethan for a year, Harry still successfully joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

And didn't Ronald get a new wand?

How come there is still a problem!

Last year, he made a little money using Peter Pettigrew at Ethan's place, and made a little more working as a potion maker at the twins' place. So Ronald used a new wand at the beginning of this semester, so there should be no problem of the wand breaking and backfiring.

Now, with a problem still occurring, it can only be said that this is his fate.

"The problem has been solved; I'll leave first. I have something else to do!"

Ethan said his goodbyes and left, uninterested in watching Ronald spitting slugs there.
