After the problem of length and thickness was settled, they began to argue about the color.
The final result of the discussion was that after the broom handle was thicker, it would be better to use bright black to give it a more metallic feel.
Just like that, a thick and black flying broom appeared out of nowhere.
Just from the appearance, it felt thicker, harder, and better than all the flying brooms on the market at present.
Elwyn used alchemy to add an invisible magic shield to it, which made safety a feature of this broom, and it continued to be so.
Later, someone imitated Elwyn's broom and developed a thicker, darker, and larger flying broom, but in terms of safety performance, there was no way to compare with Elwyn's broom, because they did not know the knock, so they could only imitate it in appearance.
In addition, other designs such as the invisible cushion and other additional parts were all solved by Fred and George.
This was their strength, and they always had a lot of unexpected new ideas.
For example, they added a landing device, embedded an alarm whistle, a straight tail branch, and an invisible handle. After designing the tail end of the broom, it could even spew colorful smoke and the Weasley fireworks that the two of them had specially made when it was flying.
This design was also rejected by Elwyn. It was too gorgeous and did not match the style of a competition broom.
If they were to design a broom for entertainment in the future, they could consider including it.
At the same time, the innovation of embedding an alarm whistle was also rejected. The reason for the rejection was the same as not allowing Hermione and Ginny to make the flying broom thicker and bigger.
This would cost too much, completely exceeding the original budget.
If they were to combine all of their ideas together, it wouldn't be a broom, but something else strange.
Just like that, while they were working on the flying broom in No. 12 Isolation Membrane Square, the outside world was already in chaos!
On the second day after Elwyn and Hermione's trip to Diagon Alley, Rita Skeeter's article about the uncontrollable Dementors attacking wizards was published. She did not even mention Harry, but described him as an innocent little wizard who was attacked by the Dementors.
Because of his self-defense, he had to go to the Ministry of Magic for trial. What could be more unfair than this in the world?
Until now, no one from the Ministry of Magic had come out to explain why the Soul Taker had gone out of control.
The attention on the matter was beyond imagination, and the Ministry of Magic was under a lot of pressure.
After the release of the latest issue of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, they repeatedly explained that there were no Dementors out of control.
But they couldn't explain why two Soul Eaters would come to Muggle's neighborhood.
Even though they said that it was Harry's rumor, Rita had already changed the focus of the attack and turned the matter into a conspiracy theory.
This was similar to the actual situation. The executives of the Ministry of Magic controlled the Dementors to attack the little wizards, which was more terrible than the Dementors losing control themselves.
She kept coming up with new ideas and conjectures, and the Ministry of Magic had no choice but to passively explain, but refused to start an investigation.
Therefore, no one was willing to believe them at all. Everyone demanded that the management of the Dementors in Azkaban be tightened. Ordinary people had a natural dislike for Dementors and didn't care if it was a rumor or not. All they wanted was results.
This was the first time that the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper had seen an increase in subscriptions since Elwyn and the others had been suppressed by Foggy.
Rita did not disappoint and resumed her activities, starting a series of reports with this incident as the core. In just a week, she had dug up many of the scandals of the Ministry of Magic. These were all the materials she had collected before. Gradually, there were voices in the magic world that wanted the incompetent Foggy to step down.
Furious, Foggy had the Legal Enforcement Department send a letter to the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, telling them to stop spreading these rumors against the Ministry of Magic and himself. After reading the letter that Lupin had brought him, Elwyn threw it into the trash can.
If it involved the Lord Voldemort, Foggy might be able to rely on the War Powers Act and the relevant provisions of the Ministry of Magic's ministerial rights to control public opinion and restrict the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper from spreading news about the Lord Voldemort.
But they hadn't mentioned the Lord Voldemort at all, and Foggy had no right to stop them from talking about other things.
The right to freedom of speech couldn't be violated, especially when they were talking about the darkness of the Ministry of Magic and Foggy's own incompetence. Many people loved to read about this.
Rita had seized on this point. Whether it was true or not, they would all accept it.
Everyone would think that these things were true. If you said it was false, then you had to prove it.
But Foggy couldn't prove it at all, nor did he have any way to prove it.
Just like that, two days before Harry's trial, Elwyn received another letter from the Ministry of Magic.
In the letter, the Ministry of Magic accused him of spreading rumors that were detrimental to the stability of the magic world and asked him to go to Wiesengamo for questioning as the person in charge of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper. The trial would be on the same day as Harry's.
If the accusation was established, they would take action to shut down the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper.
This was to be expected, and Elwyn wasn't worried at all.
He and Hermione had carefully reviewed every report. Whether it was the attack on Harry by the Dementors or what Rita reported later, they had all happened.
After Rita's embellishment, they achieved the desired effect, and Foggy couldn't say anything …
Elwyn had prepared a thick stack of materials. If necessary, he could argue with the other party one by one.
Harry felt more at ease that Elwyn would accompany him to the Ministry of Magic for his trial.
These days, he had been busy with the flying broom and had forgotten about this matter.
But once he was free, terrible memories surfaced bit by bit.
He began to have nightmares again. In his dreams, he saw a long corridor and a locked door, causing the scars to sting …
He didn't dare tell anyone about this. He didn't want anyone to know that he had a new connection with Lord Voldemort.
Although Elwyn had explained it to him, it still made Harry feel like a terrible monster.
While he was plagued by nightmares, he couldn't stop thinking about what he would do if he was fired.
Fear pierced his heart like countless needles. The thought was so terrifying that he didn't even dare say it out loud.
