Harry wasn't really interested in the situation between Ginny and Dean, after all, he wasn't really one for gossip.
He sat in his chair, took out the Crystal Ball, and decided to find a video to watch.
Recently, Mr. Leme added quite a few apprentices in the Alchemy Laboratory, he even collaborated with a Muggle named Steve to develop some built-in "Apps" for the Crystal Ball. Whatever an "App" is, Harry doesn't quite understand it, but feels it's impressive.
This Steve left quite an impression on Harry, it seemed he had plenty of creative ideas — and for Steve, his admiration for Mr. Leme was beyond simple reverence, he practically idolized him like a god.
"Actually, I originally intended to return to my original company as a consultant," Steve told Harry, "but the recruitment ad from Mr. Leme attracted me — so I thought, why not? I sent an email to Mr. Leme with a try-it-out mentality, and when I first saw Mr. Leme, I was utterly amazed..."
Then, Steve spent a whole half-hour recounting his shock at discovering the Magic World.
After Steve joined, the development of the Crystal Ball seemed to enter a transformative phase.
Firstly, on Steve's suggestion, Mr. Leme shaped the Crystal Ball into a small cube size that was easy to hold and fiddle with — no bigger than a Chocolate Frog Card, but just right to hold in one hand; subsequently, upon another suggestion from Steve, Mr. Leme developed a larger product, it's as large as two laptops, with better performance, and the videos played were clearer, though the size was a bit much.
But many Wizards were willing to buy into it.
Following this, Mr. Leme formally named these products Magic Stone Phone 1st Gen and Magic Stone Tablet 1st Gen.
It seems Mr. Leme is gearing up to develop the next generation of products.
"Is it actually Magic Stone 1st Gen…" Ron said enviously, "Is this Mr. Leme's latest development?"
Harry suddenly remembered this matter, he took out a few phones from his wallet, and called out to Ginny, who was shouting at Thomas.
For a moment, Harry saw the shadow of Mrs. Weasley in Ginny.
"This is the latest product developed by Mr. Leme, and each of you gets one." Harry handed the new products to them, "You just need to stick them with your original Crystal Ball to transfer data into them… Sorry, ha, these were received this morning, supposed to be given to you in the morning, but because we had to return to school, I ended up forgetting it."
"Oh heavens, this is just amazing." Ron didn't hesitate, snatched the two products from Harry's hand, and caressed them fondly.
If he were to say "My Precious," it would be even more fitting.
Other classmates also gathered around, this was the most pursued item in the Wizarding World recently, they looked enviously at Ron's package, their eyes nearly solidified with envy.
Ginny and Hermione were surrounded by the girls, all clamoring to see the latest products.
And Ron… Ron was still fondly stroking the phone.
It's no wonder Ron was so fond of them, after all, it was Mr. Leme's flagship product, and it was the yet-to-be-released latest Magic Stone series, getting these things ahead of time was enough to brag to George and Fred.
Sure enough, the first thing he did when he opened the phone was to authenticate again, and then he called Fred.
Fred didn't answer, after a while, he called George, and the call got through.
"Hi, Little Ronnie." George greeted him with a grin, "Missing your brothers, are you?"
"Where's Fred?" Ron asked bluntly.
"Fred, ah, Fred just went to the bathroom." George said, "He was about to return your call, and you happened to call me — so, what's up?"
In front of them, Ron opened the packaging of the Magic Stone Tablet 1st Gen.
"Look." Ron grinned, "This is the latest Magic Stone Tablet 1st Gen released by Mr. Leme, I'm using the Magic Stone Phone 1st Gen, envious? It's the latest model, won't be officially announced for sale until next February…"
Hearing Ron's words, the two fell silent for a moment, then burst into sharp explosive sounds.
"Alright, alright." Ron smiled contentedly, then said to them: "As my brothers, of course you both have a share… watch out for tomorrow's package, I'll have Pig bring it to you."
"Truly deserving of being our good little brother." Fred and George said contentedly, "Both of us agree your clothes are a bit worn… let your brothers pick out some new stylish Dragon Skin Jackets."
Ron made an OK gesture.
He turned to look at Harry, only to find Harry absorbed in watching a video.
It seemed to be a Wizard on an adventure in the wilderness.
"Look." The Wizard looked a bit disheveled, but in high spirits, with bright eyes, "If you're without food in the wilderness, these bugs are a good source of calories. First, let's put our ear against the trunk to listen for the sound of bugs inside—"
With that, the Wizard leaned his ear against the trunk, and after listening, he picked up his Magic Wand and cut open the bark.
