Chapter 28: 028 Wandology

Hu Qing, Queenie, Newt, and Tina apparitions appear near New York Harbor and blend into the crowd as they walk towards the boarding gate.

"Mr. Kowalski is a No-Maj, and the Wizarding Congress has laws, so I had to use the Oblivion Charm on him." Tina explained to everyone as she walked forward.

"We can understand that this is the best ending, isn't it?"

Queenie looked regretful, "It's a shame that I can't eat Mr. Kowalski's doughnut rings." ”

"This is simple, when his pastry shop opens, I will accompany you to eat, eat as many as you want." Hu Qing said with a smile.

Queenie smiled happily, "You're so nice, dear. ”

Tina couldn't help but roll her eyes, she couldn't stand the two show affection, and said to Newt, "It's here, you hurry up and board the ship." ”

She looked uneasy, with reluctance and anticipation in her eyes.

Newt smiled and said, "This time...... I am very happy! ”

The latter sentence was not what he wanted to say, but somehow it came out, Newt was a little embarrassed, and Tina was shy with a little joy.

"Me too...... Don't be investigated in the future. ”

Newt couldn't help but smile, "I will, there will be a quiet time in the future, back to the Ministry of Magic, I'll send the manuscript out......"

"I'm looking forward to your book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Tina didn't know how to express a thousand words in her heart, and she only tried not to cry herself.

When the ship's whistle sounded and most of the passengers had boarded, Newt turned his head to look at it and said to Tina, "If you like it, I'll send you a copy." ”

Tina hurriedly said, "I am willing, very willing." ”

"You guys are talking awkwardly, that little thing between men and women is very simple." Hu Qing couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed Tina behind her back, and Tina threw herself into Newt's arms all of a sudden.

The world has become quiet.

Tina stared blankly at Newt, who was clumsy and tender, raised her hand to touch her hair, paused for a moment, and pulled away.

As he walked to the springboard, Newt turned around and asked aloud, "I'm sorry, can I give you the book in person?" ”

Tina happily responded: "Of course, I'd love to." ”

Newt grinned, beckoned to Hu Qing and Queenie, and strode onto the passenger ship. Tina watched the ship sail out of New York Harbor and disappear into the sky.

Suddenly, Tina jumped playfully in place.

She reacted quickly, and Hu Qing and Queenie, who were looking at each other, said, "What do you see, haven't you seen others jump?" ”

"Seriously, Tina, it's the first time I've seen you so gaffe...... Newt ...... No, I mean, do I need to change my tune? Queenie asked with a smirk.

Tina glared at her, "Go home, I'm going to work." ”

"Wait, take me for a ride, and I'll go to the Magic Congress too." Hu Qing stopped Tina and said to Queenie, "Honey, you go back first, and I'll be back in a while." ”

"What are you doing at the Magic Congress?" Tina asked curiously.

Hu Qing said: "Mr. Johannes Jonkel has promised to teach me how to make a wand, and the time has been agreed. ”

"It's unbelievable, Mr. Jonkel is a proud wand-maker, and sometimes doesn't even give Lady Piquelli face, how did you manage to get him to promise to teach you?" Tina felt unbelievable and looked at Hu Qing in surprise, and Queenie also showed a curious look.

"Mr. Jonkel was struck by my handsome looks, shrewd mind, careful thinking, and perfect character at the first sight of me, and begged to teach me how to make wands, you know, I am not a man who is good at refusing people, and Mr. Jonkel is too old to be saddened by his age...... I'm not done yet......"

Tina grabbed Hu Qing's phantom shift, and Queenie's tears of laughter in New York Harbor were about to flow out.

……

In the alley opposite the Woolworths Building, Hu Qing held on to the wall and gasped, and said angrily: "You should give me some time to prepare, it's too sudden, I feel like I'm dying!" ”

"You didn't give me time to prepare, I didn't want to listen to what you said, but you forced it into my ears, then, tell me the real reason."

"Don't you understand? Mr. Jonkel is a proud and conceited wandmaker, and if you have the power to threaten his reputation, he will listen to you......"

Tina asked, "You threaten him?" ”

"No, no, it's not a threat, I paid 50 Zhuo Guo tuition, and he personally promised to teach me, have you ever seen such a threat?" Hu Qing asked calmly.

Tina looked at Hu Qing, "To be honest, your thoughts and actions are unpredictable, and you are a very dangerous person. Queenie likes you, and I can't stop it, but I'll keep an eye on you and don't let you do something bad. ”

"Whatever, just don't peek in my shower."

"I don't understand, how can Queenie fall in love with you, you're not reliable at all."

"What about you?"

"Me?"

"Newt is so dull......"

"Don't talk about Newt, he's more stable and principled than you."

Hu Qing's face was black, "There is a black line in the eyes of the lover, don't talk about me, and I won't say Newt, but seriously, you guys are too grinding, just say something." ”

"Here we are."

Tina didn't want to say it, and Hu Qing wasn't very interested, so the two separated when they walked into the main hall of the Magic Congress.

……

In the corner of the main hall of the Magic Congress, Johannes Jonkel glanced at Hu Qing standing in front of him, picked up a magic wand and waved, and a four-legged stool appeared at Hu Qing's feet.

Hu Qing sat down unceremoniously, "Mr. Jonker, you can start." ”

"You don't have to remind me that Jonkel will teach you what he will teach you when he takes your money, then, sir, what do you know about wands?"

Hu Qing thought for a while, "I don't know anything. ”

"Wonderful, it's a good quality to dare to admit your ignorance, but it's a pity that it's worthless in my eyes, sir, you don't have the slightest sense of learning, and before you come, you should know a little about wands. Knowing nothing, you think it's glorious? Jonkel slammed his head and face, and reprimanded.

"I'll admit you have a point, but I don't like to be scolded, Mr. Jonkel, please teach me how to make a wand." Hu Qing had a serious expression on his face.

Jonkel paused, "Okay, here we go." ”

"Making a wand is a five-step process, wood extraction, polishing, shade drying, insertion, and holy sacrifice."

"To take wood is to find and discern wand wood."

"Polishing is polishing wand wood."

"Shade drying is to adjust the toughness and hardness of wand wood."

"The ferrule is the insertion of a rod core into the dry wand wood."

"The Holy Sacrifice is the last and most crucial step, through which the wand wood and the wand core merge to become a real wand."

"In wandology, wands choose wizards, and each wand is unique, and it is determined by a combination of the five steps of making a wand, wizard habits, and qualities. It's almost impossible to find two wands that are exactly the same. ”

"Let's talk about the wand wood ...... today"
