The red steam locomotive is the symbol of Hogwarts. Without making any changes to its appearance, the only upgrades that can be made are to the internal hardware and software.
For example, the size and layout of the cubicles, or improving performance.
But this is a world where magic exists, a world where even the wildest imagination can come true.
Vincent put Gu Gu aside, took out his notebook, and quickly drew several drafts.
Hermione, full of curiosity, came over and sat down next to him. What she saw was a train full of cannons.
Her eyelids twitched violently. "You're not planning to upgrade the train, are you?"
Vincent turned to the next page and continued drawing the draft. "Don't worry, I won't change the appearance."
The best defense is always offense.
There's absolutely nothing you can do when you encounter Dementors, a ghost that's impossible to destroy. But what if you run into a group of malevolent dark wizards?
Moreover, the idea of a magic cannon that can be stored away is just a concept, and it's unknown whether it can actually be realized.
Based on the long-barreled pistol form of the Serpent Staff, after removing the cumbersome incantations and gestures, wizards can cast spells even faster than modern Muggle firearms.
One raises his hand and shoots, the other has to pull the trigger.
Vincent was getting increasingly stressed and bald from thinking about it, suddenly closed his notebook.
Seven upgrade options are sufficient, and it's not like we're using it for war.
"Gu Gu— " Gu Gu opened its big, watery eyes and snuggled into Hermione's arms.
Having been forced to lose weight by its owner for so long, it needs someone to comfort its wounded little heart.
"You can only eat a little." Hermione quietly took a bag of dried fish from her makeup box.
Another little witch—she's probably completely fallen for her, and she's probably the hardest one to win over.
Vincent pretended not to see it, "I'm going to Italy in a few days, I should be able to stay until you arrive."
The boys have all accepted Harry's invitation to watch the Quidditch World Cup together, and they'll be traveling to Italy next month to watch the preliminary rounds.
Hermione stopped feeding him, feeling a little guilty. "In a few days? You're going to the Bugatti factory, right?"
Nearly a year has passed, and the production sports car that has once again broken the world record is probably almost finished with its development.
Vincent nodded. "I'm going to use Alchemy to rebuild one. Hopefully, the prototype has already been made."
Hermione moved aside and used her skirt to cover the half-bag of dried fish.
"Oh, right, Kenny and the others will be coming too."
She hurriedly hugged Gu Gu tightly in her arms, "Really? That's wonderful."
Vincent glanced at the small corner of the packaging bag sticking out from under the skirt with a forced smile.
"They said they were going on a graduation trip, and it just so happens that this year is the Quidditch World Cup, which is held every four years."
Hermione, looking embarrassed, moved to the side again. "Rinne will be here too, right? She probably won't be taking over the family business so soon."
Vincent shrugged at her. "Who knows? Maybe her private jet is already on its way."
The graduation exams at Eastern magic schools are usually held about a month in advance. If she hadn't taken over the Shingu Family's business yet, she might actually be sitting in a private jet by now.
This final act of madness before taking on family responsibilities truly reflects Rinne's carefree personality.
Hermione's eyes suddenly sharpened. "She wouldn't have come to Britain, would she?"
"She's the eldest daughter of the Shingu Family; it's just a matter of a word for her to go wherever she wants."
Kenny actually gave up such a rich girl and chose Jennifer instead; this must be true love.
Hermione seemed a little excited. "If she comes, you must let me know."
Vincent's nose twitched slightly.
Hmm, she's quite jealous.
"I will."
Sensing his teasing gaze, Hermione nervously explained, "What I mean is, we haven't seen each other in a long time, and I kind of miss her."
"I know." Vincent glanced at the bag, which was now mostly exposed, and stopped teasing her.
"Rinne is just my business partner. If she really comes to Britain, I will definitely treat her well."
Hermione was finally completely relieved.
But her gaze remained fixed on Vincent's face.
He's a handsome, outstanding guy, standing out among his peers, and he gives off a particularly strong sense of security.
Her temperament, education, family background, and eloquence are all exceptionally outstanding; she is a highly sought-after catch.
Vincent felt uneasy under her gaze. "Is there something dirty on my face?"
"No." Hermione slightly lowered her gaze.
The person I like is so outstanding, so I can only try to become more outstanding myself.
The unpleasant conversation ended, but thankfully the atmosphere didn't become quiet.
Gu Gu popped out of Hermione's arms and stuck his little head into the half-bag of dried fish.
Vincent sighed, "You'll have to take some responsibility from now on."
Hermione was no longer guilty; instead, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "Okay, I'll create a series of scientific weight loss plans for Gu Gu."
Gu Gu, who was engrossed in eating dried fish, suddenly poked its little head out.
"Gurgle!"
She reached out and gently stroked the round little head. "It's okay, I won't force you."
Still somewhat skeptical, Gu Gu continued to bury its head in eating the dried fish.
After it had eaten its fill, it flapped its little wings and flew to the round table full of snacks.
It seems that before Hermione's scientific weight loss plan, it has to have one last crazy spree.
Crookshanks and Yumi, who were playing at the round table, immediately lost interest.
This brown ball of fur was a disgrace to the cat family; they both jumped off the table and returned to their owner.
Crookshanks didn't stay in Hermione's arms for long before jumping over to Vincent's side.
This time, she was very magnanimous and did not show any negative emotions.
As the scenery outside the window changed continuously, the Hogwarts Express finally arrived at its destination, King's Cross Station.
Vincent looked at Crookshanks with reluctance in his eyes, and hardened his heart to return it to Hermione.
Holding their respective adorable pets, the two followed their friend out of the cubicle.
After collecting their luggage and exiting the station, the Wayne couple, wearing sunglasses, came to greet them.
When they saw the real changes in their son, they were so shocked they almost dropped their sunglasses. The Mr. and Mrs. Granger were completely unaware of the changes, reacted even more strongly.
"Hermione? You're really my daughter? My precious Hermione?"
"Mom and Dad, let's talk about it when we get back."
The Wayne adjusted their sunglasses, trying to appear nonchalant.
This kid didn't even write a letter to let us know beforehand. If Kyle hadn't given them a heads-up, they would definitely have been embarrassed in front of those wizards.
Vincent wisely followed silently behind his parents.
The Time-Turner was returned to McGonagall before he left school, and his parents should be able to accept the reality soon.
As soon as the Wayne family got into their four-seater Bugatti sports car, Eric couldn't wait to take off his sunglasses.
"Good lad, what exactly is going on here?"
After Vincent confessed honestly, he and Evelyn quickly accepted the reality.
The ability to go back in time an unlimited number of times has the side effect of not being able to eliminate the increased time spent by the user.
Such an incredible magical item will surely be used to create all sorts of amazing things by my precious son.
They spent four whole years, even completing all the courses from grades 3 to 7.
If Hogwarts allowed skipping grades, Vincent would already be a graduate.
