One idea that Remus had thought up had sounded interesting, and that was finding a way to reduce pollution and the build-up of garbage. I'd already had some plans for something like that, but discussing it with the two older men had helped me iron out several details I'd looked over. Namely, how we'd set things up and what spells and magic would be best.
That was why, when the meeting was over, we'd decided that the next business we'd embark on was going to be finding a way to use alchemy and magic to turn trash into treasure. We'd be helping the environment by recycling, and making money off of it in the process. Win-win!
I was, however, starting to have a lot less time on my hands to do much. I was already stretched thin with classes at Oxford and running my business. I needed more time!
'Messing with that sorta stuff is a bad idea, though,' I thought to myself back home at my apartment that evening. 'Even Flamel didn't touch that topic all too often, and the few times he did only prove how dangerous it could be. I simply lack the means to create anything on my own.'
'The only option is to use pre-existing methods of time manipulation. But I only know of Time Turners that aren't that dangerous to acquire, but Ministry would never let me have access to one,' I grumbled. 'The sole Time Turner I know of that'd be available in the near future is in Hermione Granger's hands in the 3rd book, and I don't know for certain if that will still happen. But if it does… I just might have to find a way to steal it in order to get any more work done!'
'If only there was a way to make a knock-off Hyperbolic Chamber like from Dragon Ball Z using runes and enchantments,' I sighed to myself. But I had no idea where to even begin to start with something like that!
Rather than grumble to myself about finding a way to bend time to my whims, there was a lot of homework I had to do, and I pulled out the textbooks and worksheets for my classes to get it done before they were due.
As I opened up one of my history books and idly flipped past the section about the invention of punch cards and computational technology, an idea struck me from out of the blue.
'Computer code is a lot like arithmancy,' I thought to myself, and I was unable to shake it from my head.
There were differences, of course, but the language of ones and zeroes of binary was able to do incredible things purely through numbers. And coding for software, at least what I remembered from my previous life, had been able to the same. Almost like runes, in a way, where long strings of symbols could express all sorts of things!
'Could there be a way for me to combine arithmancy and runes with computer code and create spells powered by electricity instead of magical energy?' I wondered to myself. 'I could add some Philosopher's Stones to the circuit boards to act as a converter, turning electrical charges into sparks of magical energy. Of course, so I'd need to find a way to turn magic into electricity and vice-versa, but once I found a way to do that, the skies were the limit!'
Computers able to cast spells! Advanced technology able to combine magical effects to make them even better!
'Okay, seems like I've found my next path to pursue.' I mused to myself as I began to scribble several complex arithmancy equations in the margins of my worksheets.
My homework could wait. I had more important things to do!
