“Sorry, I accidentally overheard your conversation…”

As the moving staircase came to a halt, Hermione nimbly hopped off the steps.

“I was going to say something when I left the common room, but I just missed the staircase timing… I can help you enable the student handbook’s remote conference feature.”

“Remote… switching? What’s a student handbook—” Mr. Weasley turned to look at Hermione as well.

“Hogwarts student handbook, the magical book issued to every student at the beginning of the school year.”

Ginny replied, taking her own magical book from her bag and waving it at Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

Unlike the books sold at Flourish and Blotts, this “magical book” had a fiery red gem embedded in its front, with gold threads inlaid in the four corners.

The outline of Hogwarts Castle was faintly printed on the front cover where the gem was located, and there was a delicately designed groove on the exquisitely bound spine.

*Click.*

As Ginny’s finger slid across the spine, the wand stored within sprang out of the groove.

Then, the Gryffindor house crest flickered in the center of the fiery red gem, and the magical book floated two or three centimeters above her palm.

“Um—what should I do next?” Ginny asked Hermione curiously.

As a new generation witch, she had no past restrictions on the use of the magical book. Even many older students were not as familiar with its functions as she was.

Of course, compared to the prefects and the head girl, Ginny was still a bit naive and inexperienced, after all, those four witch sisters had advanced versions of the handbook.

“Very simple, I’ll record your MID and temporarily enable it.”

Hermione took out her wand and waved it gently, her own magical book also floating beside her, flipping to a certain page with a rustle.

“Let me think—”

“Ginny, you’re a first year, Ron’s a second year, Fred and George are fourth years, Percy’s a sixth year, Charlie and Bill are in the magical master’s program…”

Hermione’s eyes scanned Ginny’s face and moved to the side, nodding thoughtfully, “So, at least three remote conference interfaces need to be enabled—”

“Dad can come to my side, and I can connect with Percy. George and Fred happen to have two books, adding up to exactly three. Right?”

Ginny’s eyes rolled, and she spoke without thinking, following Hermione’s words, her eyes fixed on her twin brothers.

“Me?” Fred pointed to himself in surprise, then quickly reacted, “Wait, why isn’t Mom going to Charlie and Bill’s side?!”

As he spoke, he gave George a look, and George immediately understood.

“Well, we still have three years of school, but Bill and Charlie might only have this one chance, so I think—”

“Because you two are closest to the O.W.L.s exams,” Charlie said, patting George on the shoulder, earnestly, “Your big brother and I are long past the age of needing parents to worry about us.”

“That’s not necessarily true—at least Fred and I aren’t single.” George didn’t hesitate to strike back, quickly leaning towards Mrs. Weasley.

“Mom, I heard there are many single witches in the magical master’s program with excellent personal qualities. This parent-teacher conference is a rare opportunity…”

Mrs. Weasley’s eyes shifted a few times, thoughtfully examining Bill and Charlie, her expression becoming serious.

Yes, the eldest two haven’t found love yet, this problem is more serious than the other little ones.

“George?!” Charlie raised his eyebrows, like a dragon ready to breathe fire.

“We need to have a good talk.” Bill’s casual smile instantly disappeared.

“Ahem, just a moment, children,” At this moment, Mr. Weasley finally found an opportunity to interject, asking in confusion, “Can someone explain, what is a remote conference?”

“Simply put, it’s a high-level application of Transfiguration magic, roughly like this—”

Hermione gently tapped her own magical book, enabling Ginny’s permission according to the method Elena had told her.

The next moment, a lifelike three-dimensional holographic image of little Ginny appeared above Hermione’s open book page.

At the same time, a fluffy orange ball-like phantom appeared next to Ginny.

“Hogwarts student handbook comes with a magical recording function, so that when students want to review and consolidate their learning content after class, they can choose to replay it.”

Hermione glanced at the growing crowd around her, rubbing her temples helplessly, “Good heavens, you haven’t completely paid attention to the exchange list at the back of the student handbook, have you?”

“Exchange list? But on there…”

Ron opened his own magical book in confusion, quickly flipping to the points exchange area at the back.

Compared to the scattered and uneven distribution of goods in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, this place listed almost everything students loved to browse.

As a chess master in last year’s “Defense Against the Dark Arts Practical Assessment”, he used his superb wizard chess skills to rack up a wave of points, so that his initial score this year was quite high.

However, most of his points were mainly invested in various top wizard chess scores and peripheral products of famous Quidditch stars around the world…

He had hardly touched the exchange options in the magic book enhancement category—most of them were expensive and difficult to understand, and also seemed a bit confusing, such as what is a spell page.

“Binary Return Architecture Modification Magic, magical book enhancement category, third item. Exchange points, 30 points.”

Hermione rolled her eyes speechlessly, gently tapping the page with her wand, projecting a page in mid-air.

She glanced at the students around her who were desperately flipping through their books, finally understanding why Elena had told her to appear when there were many people.

“Next, Magical Network Temporary Interaction Protocol, this is in basic function upgrade, twenty-first item, exchange points, 120 points.”

“Magical Audio-Visual Synchronization, this is also in basic function, thirty-seventh item, exchange points, 80 points.”

“Well, if you have a need, you can also exchange for a primary magic eye—”

Hermione looked at the Weasleys who were flipping through their books, pointing to the orange fluff ball next to Ginny like an enthusiastic salesperson.

“This is in the enhancement category, fifteenth item, exchange points are…咦, 280 points—why is it so expensive?”

“Well, in short, after they activate these functions, your problems should be solved.”

Hermione shook her head, ignoring the Weasleys who were heartbroken about their points, turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Weasley who seemed to have opened the door to a new world and said with a smile.

“Binary Return Architecture Modification Magic allows you to project into classrooms that you cannot attend in person, and magical audio-visual synchronization and interaction allows you to complete real-time communication between the two sides.

“In this way, even if Ginny, Ron, and their siblings are distributed on different floors of Hogwarts, you can have a panoramic view…”

With Hermione’s appearance, the focus quickly shifted from Lucius Malfoy.

With a more wonderful and convenient solution, even Mrs. Weasley didn’t turn to look at Old Malfoy again.

After all, compared to a pretentious school board member, she preferred to study her children’s magical books to solve the problem.

Hmph—

As expected of the Weasleys who like Muggles and the little witch from the Muggle world who likes to show off…

Lucius Malfoy stood awkwardly at the edge of the crowd for a few seconds, looked at the Muggle-born little witch surrounded in the center, and snorted inexplicably, “It seems the Weasleys have found a solution, let’s go directly to the classroom, it’s too noisy here.”
