Chapter 106: Ron's Wand

Alan nodded in agreement, and took out a self-retracting tape measure from the long run, which Alan had asked Benny to fly home to Mrs. Harris last night.

Although Mrs. Harris didn't understand which Hogwarts class would require a tape measure, she helped her son wrap up her usual tape measure and let Benny bring it back to Alan.

"Put your arms up. Alan patted one of Ron's arms. He knew that Ron was used to using his wand with his right hand.

Ron had never been to the wand shop to buy a wand, and his previous wand was his brother Charlie's old wand. So he cooperated, and watched curiously as the tape measure automatically measured on his body. From shoulders to fingertips, wrists to elbows, shoulders to the floor, knees to armpits, and finally the tape measure flew over Ron's head to measure his head circumference.

Alan checked the Jeffer's notes and kept mentally calculating the corresponding numbers. Considering Ron's future growth, Alan satisfactorily settled on the length of "fourteen inches."

Then, Alan took out the willow branch he had favored from the bag he had brought with him with the Traceless Stretching Charm, measured it with a tape measure, and cut off the fourteen-inch branch, which was the most flexible and suitable for wands.

Alan picked up the severed branch and examined it carefully, making sure that there were no seedlings or branches on the branch, and handed the branch to Ron with satisfaction.

"Is this a good wand, isn't it too casual?" Ron widened his eyes in surprise and waved a twig, of course, nothing happened!

"How is that possible!" Alan smiled and conjured up a brown piece of sandpaper and handed it to Ron, "Well, rub the twig until it's smooth." ”

With that, Alan took out a book, leaned against a large pumpkin, and read it with relish.

Harry and Hermione watched with gusto, instructing Ron to wipe the branches.

"Here, here, the color here is not the same as the one next to it. ”

Looking at Hermione's expression, she couldn't wait to replace her, she thought it was so interesting to be able to make a wand for herself!

Harry sat down next to Alan and looked at the title curiously, "The Amazing Quidditch Ball!" Harry couldn't help but pronounce the name of the book. "I used to read this book, and Hermione borrowed it from the library for me to read!"

"This book is one of the most popular books in the library, and Mrs. Pince told me to cherish it, because it is so pathetic, that every day I have to be flipped around, dripped, and abused by everyone!

Although Harry rarely went to the library except to find Nicol Lemay's materials and complete his homework, he did agree with Allen's words, Hermione was always liked by the teachers, except for Professor Snape!

Seeing Allen's notes on the book, Harry exclaimed in surprise, "You can scribble on the book?"

Hearing this, Hermione also leaned over to look at Alan incredulously. "Alan, how did you do that? Mrs. Pince has put an extraordinary spell on all the books in the library! Harry and Ron were scribbling on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the next second the book was slamming them around their heads. ”

Although it was a little embarrassing for Hermione to expose the mess in front of Allen, Harry was also very curious to know the answer. Even Ron, rubbing his wand has slowed down!

"All it takes is a simple little spell, the Disguise Charm, to trick the probe magic on the book so that it can't find anything. However, I usually clear these notes after I finish reading. "Reading and taking notes is a habit of Allen, not to mention that he can never forget the content of the book.

Harry and Hermione had a hard time understanding Alan's thinking, but that didn't stop them from admiring Alan even more.

"Alright, Ron, show me the branches. "Allen saw that Ron was rubbing more and more slowly, and he knew he was tired.

Relieved, Ron handed Alan the wand he had carefully rubbed for a long time. Alan also took the sandpaper and rubbed it carefully and gently on the wand for a moment, and the branches of the willow tree became smooth. Allen's appearance looked very relaxed, in stark contrast to Ron's cautiousness.

Ron couldn't help but sneer: If Alan can do it easily, why does he need to polish it for so long?

As if he saw Ron's thoughts, Alan said lightly: "The reason why you let you polish it yourself is to deepen the connection between you and the wand, so that you can understand that it is not easy to come by, and you must learn to cherish it." ”

Ron's ears were as red as his hair. Harry couldn't help but hide his fingerprint-stained wand in his sleeve.

"Is that all right?" Hermione was skeptical.

Of course not! The willow branches need to be soaked in vegetable oil repeatedly, dried in the shade, and then added to the core of the cane for a parting ceremony. We've only only completed a small step, and we're still a long way off!" Alan said to Hermione with interest.

Harry and Ron didn't understand what Eren meant, but it sounded amazing!

Hermione nodded again and again, and asked Alan if she could participate in the wand-making process, and Alan nodded generously in agreement. Although Ron didn't understand what Alan was saying, he said that he was looking forward to the wand he was about to use, and he must be involved in the whole production process. Alan graciously agreed.

"We can soak the cane wood first. Alan took out the olive oil and carefully smeared the whole body of the willow branch. "Wait for the main body to be wet, then dry in the shade, repeat a few times, and this step is complete. Doing so will increase the hardness of the wand's surface, creating a material that is the outside and soft on the inside. And there is a certain degree of water and moisture resistance. ”

Seeing Hermione's serious appearance, Alan was in a good mood, and the problem of being a good teacher was inadvertently revealed. But Hermione didn't mind, and listened very carefully.

"Ron, I chose for you the willow wood for the wand and the unicorn fur for the wand core. The willow tree, which is under the control of the moon, is the most water-loving tree. You should be able to use it to cast magic related to the moon, spiritual magic, healing, prophecy, etc. Alan explained the reason to Ron. This was the envy of Harry and Hermione, because they didn't get such a detailed explanation when they bought their wands!
