v3 Chapter 12： The Magical Uses of Feather Pens

"I can give you a hint, it's also the brightest star in Lyra - if you guess, I'll tell you a story about it." Tom thought for a while, and then gave another condition and reward.

"It's Vega!" Hermione said quickly, "It can also be called Alpha Lyra. The brightest star in the northern hemisphere is Arcturus. Alpha Lyra, like Arcturus and Sirius, is one of the brightest stars near the sun—the wanted one. The crime is named after the stars, it's a very simple question to give points, now it's your turn to tell the story."

Hermione was very proud. She not only answered the questions, but also taught several knowledge points - these can be used as test sites!

Tom:  …

He actually forgot that the one who was in his arms was a university tyrant with almost perfect scores in astronomy! In that kind of plan, little girls can't think of the answer, and the scene of begging him to tell a story is impossible...

The star Tom is referring to is the legendary Vega.

"Actually, I'm more used to calling it Vega." Tom said slowly.

"Textile worker star?" Hermione was a little strange. The name of this star is very strange. Why is it related to textiles? The galaxy it is in is obviously more like a lyre?

"Listen to me slowly," Tom put his nose to Hermione's hair, took a deep breath, and whispered in her ear, telling her an old story.

"Legend, in ancient times, the granddaughter of the emperor of heaven, Zhinu, was good at weaving, but she was tired of the boring life of weaving every day, so she secretly went down to the mortal world and married a cowherd as a couple. How could a mortal marry a fairy? After capturing the Tiangong, they were only allowed to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Their unwavering love touched the magpies, so every July 7th, countless magpies used their bodies to build a bridge of magpies across the Tianhe River. Let the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet on the Tianhe."

"Is that so..." Hermione looked at Vega in the night sky, lost in thought. This story touched her a bit, and she was a little fortunate that her father was not the Emperor of Heaven, but a relatively rich dentist.

She suddenly thought of two questions, "Tom, how did the Cowherd catch the Weaver Girl? Also, why does the Emperor of Heaven hate the Cowherd, but allows the Weaver Girl to meet the Cowherd every year? Shouldn't they never meet?"

Tom scratched his head. He felt that if the Cowherd chased the Weaver Girl, the fairy tale would become adult. As for the Heavenly Emperor allowing the Zhinu to meet once a year, it is quite normal—one day in the sky, one year underground! If it is converted according to the time line of this world, the Cowherd meets once a year, and the Weaver Girl once a day. It is not a hardship for the Weaver Girl, but it is a test for the Cowherd: long-distance relationships, you can meet once a year, and you are not allowed to make phone calls at ordinary times. , send text messages, this is definitely an unforgettable test. In a few days, the Cowherd will grow old, how could the Weaver Girl think otherwise!

If it was a year in the sky, it would be even more terrifying. One year in the sky, more than 300 years have passed on the earth, and the Cowherd has not yet entered the earth for more than 300 years, and he still looks like a teenager, then this person is a proper immortal cultivator, and his cultivation is not bad, then he is worthy of the Weaver Girl. .

Hearing Tom's bizarre remarks, Hermione was amused to giggle.

"Then what would you do if you were a cowherd?" She looked at Tom with bright eyes.

"If I'm a Cowherd, then I'll kill the Heavenly Court until the Heavenly Emperor agrees to betroth the Weaver Girl to me!" Tom gave a Bimawen-style ending.

"Speaking of Cowherd, look at the star opposite Vega," Tom pointed to the three stars in the constellation Aquila, whose connection was pointing to Vega. "It's called Altair."

Of course, the West calls it "Altair", short for "Flying Eagle" in Arabic.

"The reason why Vega is named Vega is because there are four rhombus-shaped stars connected in front of her, much like a shuttle used for weaving, so the star was named Vega. It just so happens that there are three stars opposite it, the ancients I just used my imagination and thought it was a cowherd carrying a pair of children, so the star was named Altair." Tom explained the origin of the names of Altair and Vega.

"I see." Hermione's doubts were answered by Tom.

The two chatted a few more words, and Hermione was suddenly startled and pulled out her wand: "God Guard!"

A bright little three-headed dog jumped out from the tip of the stick. It formed a silver mass in Hermione's arms, and the three dog heads scrambled to lick Hermione's neck and face.

"Go!" Hermione threw it on the ground, and it ran out happily on four short legs. The fleshy look is not as fierce as when expelling Dementors.

Tom: ?

"Filch." Hermione's Patronus Charm was still used to guard against Filch. Although she didn't want to go back to the lounge for the time being, it didn't mean that she wanted to be caught by Filch, so she released a little guy who let loose.

The Patronus has all kinds of magical uses, and Hermione has developed a new use: the puppy who let loose the wind.

"Does your little patron saint have a name?"

"Where did you name the Patronus?"

"Then there is now. It's called the winter solstice? Or pomegranate?"

"Why isn't it called the Winter Solstice Pomegranate?" Hermione gave Tom a white look, thinking that he was really boring, to actually name the Patronus.

When the two were arguing about the name of the little guardian deity, the silver little dumpling ran back quickly.

"Broken! Filch is really here!" Hermione's expression changed, and she jumped up and ran to the lounge. She didn't expect that Filch would actually patrol on the first night of school, and he still patrolled the Ravenclaw Tower - even if it was patrolling, it should be at Gryffindor House! Hermione was a little puzzled.

She dragged Tom quickly to the door knocker and knocked on the door.

Eagle head knocker asked the usual question: "6.07×9.19=?"

Tom & Hermione: !

Are you trying to find fault on purpose? Filch is right behind! They could hear Filch's footsteps!

"55.7833!" Tom had an idea, took out his five-star quill, and wrote on the leftover page of Riddle's diary: 6.07×9.19=1, that 1 directly became 55.7833—this one The quill pen can correct errors within the user's knowledge. Of course Tom knew the answer to 6.07×9.19, so when he made a deliberate mistake, the quill pen helped him correct the wrong answer.

They quickly flashed through the door and closed the door. The next second, Filch appeared from the corner of the stairs. He almost saw the moment when the door to the lounge closed, but he just couldn't see who it was.

Annoyed, Filch could only stomp his feet, turn around and leave.
