Jonathan asked Harrison to get the photos.
At the same time, he explained to Hermione and Percy, who had sat down again, "He had a deep relationship with grandfather.
Those relics … were mostly collected by him.
Including the iron box. After all, it was Houdini's box. "
The meaning of Jonathan's words was that Harrison was influenced by Jacob to embark on the path of a magician.
Or because Harrison was a magician, Jacob was particularly partial to him.
Harrison took out a thick file bag. In addition to the donation certificate, there was the relevant identification information of each collection.
Hermione put them aside for the time being.
First, she looked at the hundreds of photos taken by the Kowalski brothers.
In fact, there were only about 20 stone bricks and stone tools.
But the brothers had some kind of mentality.
They turned them over and over from all angles and took extremely detailed photos. Hermione could basically imagine the full picture of each collection.
Percy was looking at the text information.
There was also a detailed description of each collection. But bricks were bricks.
Stone drums were stone drums. There didn't seem to be anything special to pay attention to, except — "The workmanship of this stone statue is really good!"
Hermione glanced at him. Percy quickly added, "Although they were all placed in the iron box, I don't know if there will be any bumps or bumps.
Or if they are not handled properly, what if there is damage? "
That was a problem. Hermione looked at the photos carefully again.
She didn't find any damage. Jonathan also explained, "Most of the damage is from wind erosion.
And grandfather took care of it very carefully.
He didn't let the iron box be hit hard. "
Hermione nodded, then her heart skipped a beat. She looked up and asked, "What about the iron box?"
The two brothers were puzzled. Hermione asked again, "That iron box, hasn't it rusted after decades?"
Jonathan didn't say anything, but Harrison raised his eyelids and said slowly, "No. That metal box, from 1926 until now, does not have a single trace of rust, and it is still shining. "He looked at Hermione." Without any plating. "
Even Percy knew that in the Muggles' environment, this was almost impossible. But if there was magic, the metal box would not have been preserved until now. Then …
The two men looked at each other and thought at the same time, "Tadis!"
If Tadis were made of titanium alloy, they would be able to do it. Both of them were overjoyed, feeling that they were getting closer to Harry. Hermione immediately said to Harrison, "Mr. Korvasky, that box …"
"I have it," Harrison interrupted Hermione. "I can show it to you too."
Hermione shut her mouth and waited for young Korvasky to state his conditions.
"… Tell me, who are you? Why disguise yourself? "
A magician's eyesight should not be underestimated. Jonathan most likely saw through his disguise when he fought with Percy.
Three options flashed in Hermione's mind: Hermione Smith, Hermione Granger, and the third-year students of Hogwarts School of Magic. But now was not the time to tell the truth, nor was it a good time to lie. The little witch took a breath and confessed, "We are sorcerers." Her eyes were frank and sincere.
Percy looked at Hermione with slight surprise, but this movement was seen by the Kowalski brothers as proof that Hermione was telling the truth. But to believe that Hermione was a sorcerer?
Jonathan laughed. "Are you kidding?"
Hermione shrugged. "I don't have the ability to lie." She had learned from the life experience of her good friend Harry Potter. When she did not have a lot of experience as a spy, it was better to tell the truth than to lie. Just like now, no matter how Jonathan asked, as long as Hermione insisted that she was a sorcerer, she would be able to stay calm.
Of course, Jonathan did not ask anything. Even Harrison just looked at the two of them suspiciously. Then he took them into his prop room and pointed to a box in the corner. "This is it." After donating the stone, Harrison took back the box. It was used to store the props used during the tour.
Hermione almost watched the development of Tadis. After a little inspection, she recognized the material of the box. She turned to Percy and said, "Yes." It was the titanium alloy used by Iron Man to make the suit. It could not have appeared nearly 70 years ago.
"Can we check this box?" Hermione asked Harrison.
The latter quietly moved the props out of the box and let Hermione check it inside and out. "It doesn't look like there's an interlayer."
Percy also squatted next to the crude metal box and touched it. "There are no patterns or engravings." It was just a bare box without even a handle. What kind of message could it convey?
When Hermione was also frowning, Harrison suddenly interjected. "There are engravings."
The other three people in the room looked at him. Harrison stepped forward and opened the box without changing his expression. Then he took a flashlight from the pile of junk next to him and shone it on the bottom of the box, indicating that everyone should take a closer look.
As the angle of the light beam was adjusted, a small piece of the bottom right corner of the box revealed a fine logo. Yes, it was a logo. Hermione leaned closer to take a closer look. It was the words "Scarman Craft Workshop."
Harrison said honestly, "It should be the craftsman who made this box." Veteran craftsmen really liked to leave their own mark on their work.
Hermione was also depressed for a moment when she heard this, but she soon noticed that something was wrong. Harry couldn't have handed this box to some craftsmen, right?
Percy stroked his chin. "Scarman Craft Workshop … Doesn't this name sound familiar? Scarman, Scarman … "
Percy saw Hermione's eyes widen and knew that he should be similar because they all remembered a name — "Newt Scarman!"
They had all taken a course called Magical Animal Protection, and Newt Scarman was the author of the textbook "Where Are Magical Animals?" Hermione quickly searched for the materials she had read in her mind. "I've read '100 Recent Celebrities'. It said that Mr. Scarman once traveled in the United States when he was young and participated in a major event that caused a sensation in New York. His wife was also an American wizard —"
Percy interrupted Hermione. "The most important thing is that his grandson, Rolf Scarman, is also in our team." Although Percy was not familiar with Rolf when they were in Hogwarts, there were only a few senior boys in the team, so Percy still had an impression of the boy from Badger Yard.
Hermione was shocked and almost lost her tongue. She nodded. "Let's go back and talk to Rolf."
The Kowalski brothers saw that Hermione and Percy had started to talk about something confusing again and quickly interrupted. "Don't be in a hurry to leave. About my grandfather …"
Hermione frowned. She wanted to bring the titanium alloy box back to town for research, but the Kowalski brothers might not be able to handle it. After all, it was their grandfather's legacy.
Percy seemed to have thought of something. After scratching his head, he asked the two brothers, "Excuse me, what's your grandmother's name? I mean, what was her name before she got married?"
The two brothers were at a loss for a moment. After a long time, Jonathan said, "Our grandmother … passed away a long time ago. Her name was Queenie Goldstern … What does this have to do with my grandfather?"
Percy looked a little agitated and almost pulled out a few strands of his wig. He looked at Hermione who was equally puzzled and said, "Before I came to the United States, I checked some personnel information here. You know, for the convenience of communication. I remember that Mr. Newt Scarman's wife's surname before she got married was Goldstern. She's an American … "
Hermione's eyes widened. "You mean …" She then looked at the Kowalski brothers. "They?"
"They're all muggles," Percy said and added, "In the United States, they're called Ma Ji."
In that case, the Kowalski brothers and Rolf should be cousins.
Hermione looked at the box on the ground, then looked at Jonathan and Harrison who were full of vigilance and confusion. She said, "We want to borrow this item back for research …" Without waiting for the two to refuse, she continued, "We want to invite the two of you to go to the research lab together."
Jonathan's refusal turned into a question. "Research lab? Where's the research lab? "
