Chapter 257: Ms. Glove's Private Cinema

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xiao stood in the empty bathroom, took out the time turner, and put the thin golden chain around his neck.

There were no more than eight hours a day, and one hour was used for the experiment, that is, seven circles.

Zhang Xiao twisted the time turner, counted seven turns, and then let go. The time turner shook violently, and the movement was much louder than when it turned once.

A huge pulling force came from his back, pulling him into the air. The surrounding scene was too blurry and turned into colorful blocks, as if someone had knocked over a paint bucket.

When his feet touched the ground again, Zhang Xiao found that he was already standing on the marble steps of the auditorium. The sunlight filtered through the tall windows and left beams of light in the empty front hall.

Little bits of dust are looming in the beam of light.

"Good afternoon, MR Zhang."

Professor McGonagall stood on the second floor platform holding a thick piece of parchment and looked at him in surprise.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said hello.

"If I remember correctly, you should be taking Care of Magical Creatures class right now."

Professor McGonagall's stern gaze passed over her glasses, and she pursed her lips.

His eyes fell on the thin gold chain around Zhang Xiao's neck, and the murderous look on his face softened:

"It looks like you've been using it, right? How many hours?"

"Seven hours."

"Seven hours?" The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth that had just been curled up were straightened immediately: "We generally recommend that little wizards use it for no more than an hour.

The 7-hour experience was too much of a burden. "

She walked down thumpingly and said worriedly:

"Zhang, I don't know why Dumbledore would allow you to use the time turner in this way, but you must remember that if you feel uncomfortable, please stop using it immediately.

It's not that the Time Turner has never caused casualties. On the contrary, the Ministry of Magic has suffered a lot because of its abuse. "

Zhang Xiao nodded. Professor McGonagall is the dean that young wizards can trust at any time:

"I remember, Professor."

Mag stared at him for a while, wanting to say something, but in the end she shook her head and left holding the parchment. She could still vaguely hear her muttering:

".Too ridiculous."

Zhang Xiao watched Mag's back disappear around the corner, and then walked briskly towards the distance.

He didn't know what the energy source of the time turner was, but it was really scary. He touched his wand. Miraculously, the wand was still there, but the Universe Bag was not.

Zhang Xiao had thought about this problem as early as the first time he looked back. If you want to say why, is the wand connected to his own blood, more like an extension of his limbs?

The Slytherin common room was deserted, but the first-year wizards were content because they had the large room to themselves and even sat in armchairs by the fire.

This is the best seat in the entire lounge.

Two or three little wizards were playing wizard chess at the table, head to head.

They glanced at Zhang Xiao, as if they were wondering why the boss of the college didn't go to class. They didn't dare to ask, so they could only show him a big smile.

Zhang Xiao waved his hand casually in return.

He took the Qiankun bag he had left there from the dormitory, turned around and walked directly towards the Room of Requirement.

Zhang Xiao was not sure whether Ms. Glove was a Horcrux or her origin.

But he could ask people.

When I was communicating with Dumbledore during the summer vacation, I made a sideways question about the Room of Requirement.

Dumbledore smiled happily, still looking like the old Riddler.

"Zhang, that lady is willing to appear in front of you?

Hmm - very good.

You were the first to see this lady among the little wizards who discovered the Room of Requirement, except of course the Headmaster.

As for the safety issue you are concerned about, I can only say that that lady is worthy of admiration, very noble and kind, and you don’t have to worry about what she will do - "

Listen, listen to the speech of this riddle, just like grandpa. Grandpa still said that there are some things in this world that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. The Heavenly Master is in the mind.

As for Dumbledore, hey, he just won’t say anything.

It's still the familiar bedroom, with the lady's gloves hanging in the air with her hands folded in a very ladylike posture.

The parchment floated over leisurely, and a line of beautiful handwriting showed:

"Long time no see. What type of room do you need this time?"

Zhang Xiao returned the gift and patted the Qiankun bag between his belt:

"Thank you for your help. I have learned the Patronus Charm. I am here to fulfill my promise. Do you remember that I said I would get you a set of movie equipment?"

The movement of the lady's glove paused, and after a while, new writing appeared on the parchment:

"Have you learned the Patronus Charm? Can you show it to me?"

"no problem."

Zhang Xiao readily agreed. The wand drew a graceful arc in the air, and the silver carp squeezed out of the wand.

It swam back and forth around him, its long beards swaying and its fins flapping, just like a living creature.

The lady's gloves were suspended quietly in the air, like an elegant woman standing there, looking at the scene in front of her with a smile.

It's strange. Although there is only one pair of gloves, Zhang Xiao feels that the lady's gloves are smiling.

"A very beautiful patron saint, and also very powerful. It seems that your past is surrounded by happiness and warmth."

The handwriting on the parchment paused, and then continued:

"Movie equipment? Do you need me to do anything?"

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Maybe a separate room is needed."

The lady's gloves made a gesture of invitation.

"First, I need an empty room."

Zhang Xiao recalled the setting of the private cinema.

As he imagined, the surrounding environment quickly twisted and changed.

The chandelier on the ceiling swayed and shrank back, the fireplace turned over, the wallpaper on the wall was shaking, and cracks appeared on the floor, revealing a soft carpet.

The furniture shrank and jumped into the wall, just like jumping into the water, splashing circles of ripples on the wall.

In the end, what appeared in front of Zhang Xiao was an empty room with a carpet.

"Next, I also need two very comfortable armchairs and a coffee table--"

Zhang Xiao rolled up his sleeves, waving his hands in the air as if he was conducting an orchestra, and happily speaking his requirements.

The leather armchairs "jumped" out of the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, swaying and growing bigger.

"Hmm - the wall seems a little small"

He patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, and the magic wand was like pulling an invisible line - it looked more like conducting an ensemble.

The packaged screen was fished out of the Qiankun bag and hung on the wall obediently, although the white wall can also be used as a screen.

But professional movie screens reflect light better and have higher clarity.

Zhang Xiao turned around and waved the magic wand again:

"We need a higher projection room here - oh, and we need a place to install generator equipment next door."

One thing after another flew out of the Qiankun bag, spinning and jumping in the air, and fell to where they should be.

"Finally, we need some green plants, otherwise it will be a bit stuffy.

Hmm - it seems good to have some tea on the side."

So some flower pots and a small round table appeared by the wall, with exquisite tea sets on the round table.

Zhang Xiao looked at the private cinema in front of him with satisfaction.

There is a tea table between the two armchairs, a 120-inch screen hangs in front, and a soft carpet on the floor.

Perfect!

Lady Gloves has been watching quietly. After everything is over, she wrote on the parchment:

"Now. Is it OK? What is a movie?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said:

"Then ma'am, can I have the honor of inviting you to watch a movie?"

It seems that an invisible figure smiled:

"Of course."

Magic is always so convenient. The roar of the generator is silent under the mute spell, as quiet as if it has not been started.

A bright beam of light shot out from the projection room. Zhang Xiao originally wanted to buy a VCD, but to be honest, the image quality of the VCD is still not as good as that of a mature and stable film projector.

And there are too many electrical equipment, unlike now, only one projector needs to be driven.

The 35mm projection machine has good color and stable imaging, which is even better than the digital projector.

As for the excellent digital projector, it has to wait until 2002 to use the xenon lamp source. At that time, the digital projector will be clearer and more stable.

Although it is a private cinema, it is still a cinema. Who knows the style of using an old-fashioned projector!

Zhang Xiao clumsily changed the film reel. This is not the future era where you can just press the remote control.

The small film actually contains a lot of things. Zhang Xiao also knew that the two rows of grids on the film are actually the soundtrack.

It is still Dolby's 5.1 channel.

Movie projectionist was a very good profession in the past.

Even if you have learned how to use it, you are still a little flustered when you actually operate it.

Fortunately, magic helped a lot. After successfully completing the preliminary preparations, Zhang Xiao was a little embarrassed:

"I am a little unskilled, but I have connected everything I should connect. You can just change the film later."

The lady's gloves waited quietly, just writing on the parchment:

"Okay"

After a tactical cough, Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers:

"Start!"

The projector slowly turned, and a beam of light hit the curtain.

First, there was a slight "hissing" sound of electricity.

Accompanied by the music, a snowy mountain appeared on the screen, surrounded by a circle of stars.

This is the logo of Paramount Pictures.

"Roman Holiday" is a classic love movie.

Its star, Ms. Audrey Hepburn, passed away last year, and it also aroused the nostalgia of movie fans.

The classic movies she starred in have become the best channel for many fans to recall.

Only on the screen, the Hepburn who proposed "elegance is never out of date" will remain in everyone's memory forever.

Zhang Xiao had seen this movie in his previous life, so he paid more attention to the glove lady.

Either don't do it, since you have done it, you have to brush up a wave of favorability with the boss.

Fortunately, the glove lady was in a very good mood, especially the clips of Princess Anne played by Hepburn and Joe played by Peck wandering on the streets of Rome with a brisk soundtrack.

The glove lady's fingers were tapping gently with the beat, and she looked very happy.

In the end, Joe fell in love with the princess unknowingly as he spent more time with her.

In order to protect the image of the princess, Joe gave up the opportunity to sell his morality in exchange for money and gave Princess Anne his secretly photographed photos of the princess's life.

After Princess Anne experienced a one-day vacation in Rome, she realized her responsibility to the country and resolutely returned to the embassy, ​​resolutely abandoning love for the sake of her responsibility.

After the movie ended, Zhang Xiao smacked his lips. In fact, he wanted to complain when he watched it in his previous life.

What does it mean to fall in love with a princess unknowingly while getting along with her?

This is Audrey Hepburn, the woman who kept Givenchy single all her life.

The beauty who made the whole world sigh that her beauty is not only in her skin but also in her bones.

Who is not confused? Still want to get along? Still unconscious?

Just skip the process and fall in love directly.

He sighed, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that something was not right with Ms. Gloves, and the two gloves were tightly mixed together.

Looking confused and angry.

The parchment flew over, and large sections of text appeared on it:

"Why is there no more?

I just used a magic spell to get them back, but it didn't work. Obviously portraits can be used.

I still want to see it! "

Zhang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only explain patiently:

"Ma'am, this is a movie. It's Muggle stuff. It's not the same thing as the wizarding world's portraits. They were recorded -"

Zhang Xiao thought for a moment and took out another roll of film and pulled out a section: "You see, it's like drawing on it and then connecting them one by one. This is a Muggle movie."

Ms. Gloves was stunned, and several very forceful words appeared on the parchment:

“So there’s nothing down there, right???”

"This. Yes"

"But why can't we be together? Is it forbidden for Muggles to get married?"

ah? Is the lady wearing gloves still a happy ending party?

Before Zhang Xiao had time to speak, Ms. Gloves had already continued to spit out long paragraphs:

“Can you ask them to continue filming?

I want to see them get married, have their own children, and live happily together. "

Ms. Gloves snapped her fingers, and a huge box appeared in front of her, just like a pirate's treasure chest in the movie.

After opening it, there were piles of gold galleons inside.

In other words, Classmate Zhang is a man who is not short of money, but he has never seen so many Galleons piled in front of him.

"I can pay them to continue filming. Is that what you mean?"

This is the truth, but the problem is...

Zhang Xiao said cautiously:

"Ma'am, both of these people have passed away. This movie was filmed 40 years ago."

The lady's gloves hung down, like a lady hanging her head in disappointment.

"Already dead?"

Fortunately, Ms. Gloves was a boss after all. She quickly regained her former elegance and calmness and wrote on the parchment:

"Okay, thank you. In fact, I should have figured it out a long time ago. It's just that I've been carrying it alone for too long.

Hope you don't mind. "

It was impossible to mind anything. Zhang Xiao suddenly thought that in two years when Titanic was released, Ms. Gloves would rush into the bottom of the sea to find the ship and become the most 'brave' fan.

Ms. Glove's mood suddenly became better again. She seemed to be still immersed in the movie just now, and asked curiously:

"Are there many movies for Muggles? I think I have enough time to watch them."

Zhang Xiao patted the Qiankun bag, and boxes of film flew out and lay flat on the ground.

He directly moved over all the classic movies from these years, although the speed of human beings may not be able to make movies as fast as the speed of the Glove Lady.

But then there were TV series.

In the following time, Zhang Xiao patiently taught Ms. Glove how to replace the film, as well as the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment.

What maintenance and upkeep can compare to ‘restoring it like new’?

When Ms. Gloves was a little clumsy, she successfully changed a film with the help of magic and started playing it.

Zhang Xiao let out a sigh of relief. The boss looked very happy. It seemed that the favorability level had been successfully improved.

Next comes another task.

If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools!

Gym – Start!
