Chapter 107: The Wand That "Explodes".
Dracula's words without warmth made Ron, who was already full of hope, despair.
"Professor, don't ...... ...... vomit," he said bitterly, retching, "Don't be so ruthless, Professor...... Vomit—"
Just as Ron was about to spit out the next slug, Dracula frowned in disgust and quickly recited a spell—
"Mileile."
This is the same mutation spell that Dracula used on Lockhart, and it works well under certain circumstances.
Under the effect of the silence spell, Ron's mouth immediately closed, and the slug that was about to spit out was stuck in Ron's mouth like that, spit and couldn't spit out, and he didn't dare to swallow it.
Ron kept gesturing, his eyes red as he looked at Dracula, and he was on the verge of crying.
Dracula shook off the slug from his shoe, and then used a dozen cleaning charms in a row to finally make the shoe clean again. Seeing Ron's embarrassed appearance, he finally hooked the corners of his mouth happily.
"Professor, please help Ron!" Harry said eagerly.
He and Hermione were anxious like flaming snakes that had left the flames, circling around Ron, watching Ron look in pain but not helping much.
"Professor!" Hermione exclaimed, "You see Ron's face is already so red that he's about to be suffocated by slugs if he doesn't unlock the spell!"
Dracula glanced at Ron, saw his flushed face, and knew that the next slug was about to run through his stomach.
With a slug in his mouth closed, the next fat slug will directly block Ron's throat and esophagus, and it is not impossible for Ron to suffocate because of this.
"Tsk, that's a pity." Dracula didn't have enough of Ron's expression and shrugged his shoulders with some regret.
He snapped his fingers slightly, and the Universal Cracking Charm silently covered Ron's body, instantly removing the two spells from his body, the Slug Charm and the Silence Charm.
"Ahem......
As soon as the spell was lifted, Ron opened his mouth and retched, coughing incessantly.
"Ahh He said indignantly, "Why can't I vomit it now, I shouldn't have digested them?!"
Ron's eyes widened and he looked at Harry and Hermione in shock.
"What do you think? The slugs you spit out are a product of magic, and they will dissipate when the magic is lifted." Dracula said casually.
Hearing Dracula's voice, Ron turned his shocked gaze in Dracula's direction.
"Professor, how can you shut me up at such a critical time? That's unkind!" He waved his hands and blushed in accusation.
"Oh? I'm not kind, am I?" The corners of Dracula's mouth curled up with a sly arc.
Ron shuddered.
"Ah...... Professor, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that......" His aggrieved and angry mood immediately calmed down, and he said with a flattering smile, "I mean...... You're so kind, I know you're using this method to exercise my perseverance!" ….
"I have come to understand that in the future, when facing dark wizards or dark creatures, whenever I think of today's experience, I will never fall into deeper despair, and I will always be able to summon more courage to face danger!"
As he spoke, Ron gradually raised his head and chest, and his momentum became high. It seems that these words may not be able to convince Dracula, but at least he can convince himself......
"Well, let you swallow a few more slugs next time if you need to." Dracula nodded with interest and looked at Ron, who was holding his head high, "If you don't like it, I can help you change the slug curse."
"Sluggs are still too conservative, how about changing them to cockroaches? If you don't think that's enough, it's not impossible to change to a spider."
Ron, who was still pretending to be calm, trembled all over his body after hearing "spider", and his face turned green with fright.
"Professor Dracula, stop scaring Ron, the thing he's most afraid of is spiders." Hermione looked at Dracula, who had no conscience, and couldn't help but purse her lips and persuaded seriously.
Ron, however, didn't seem to appreciate it much.
"Who...... Who's scared of spiders?" He felt a little embarrassed, and retorted, "How can a big man of my house be afraid of such a thing as a spider?!"
"Tell me, then, who was scared by the big spider at the entrance of the auditorium on Halloween last year and jumped three feet high?" Hermione sneered, "Everyone saw that you were hanging around Harry's neck until he carried you into the Great Hall before you dared to come down!"
"You, you, you......" Ron pointed at Hermione, who stuttered for a long time without justifying it.
"Ron, or you might as well admit it, you're afraid of spiders." Harry looked at Hermione, who was puffing out, and then at Ron, who was angry, and had to say to Ron in a friendly tone.
Hearing his good brother's conclusion, Ron's shoulders fell down and he was immediately deflated.
Dracula watched the debate with great interest for a long time, and patiently watched them stop before he thought of a question.
"If you're done talking, why don't you tell me about it?" He asked, "This slug spell seems to be working pretty well, who did it to Wes so hard?" Are you Slytherin's nemesis?"
"No, Professor, it was Ron's own work." Harry couldn't help but laugh.
Ron's face froze, and he silently lowered his head, and his shoulders fell two inches down.
"Do it yourself?" Dracula looked at Ron in surprise, "Can you be so yourself? I can't see it, Wes, I didn't expect you to be a ruthless person."
"No, no, it's actually Ron's wand that is broken, Professor." Hermione added happily. She was very happy to see Ron, who didn't know the hearts of good people, eating deflated one after another, "Ron was going to use the slug spell on that nasty Draco Malfoy, but his spell was fired from the end of his wand!"
"Anything like that?" Dracula suddenly became interested and looked at Ron, who was hunching his shoulders beside him, "Wes, can you show me your wand?" ….
In fact, in the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Dracula had already seen that something was wrong with Ron's wand. However, he had never been very interested in wands, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
But today, he unexpectedly learned that Ron's wand could shoot spells in the opposite direction, directly causing the slug curse to hit himself!
It immediately occurred to Dracula that such a maverick wand was quite operable.
For example, when encountering a dark wizard, the poor little wizard first takes out a wand that can only cast spells in the opposite direction, tricks the other side into snatching his wand with a disarming charm, and then guides the opponent to attack with the newly snatched wand......
Then, the Dark Wizard will be pleasantly surprised by his own spell unsuspectingly!
Thinking of this, Dracula subconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
Ron looked at the smile on Dracula's face and couldn't help but shudder.
"Of course, Professor, I've had enough of this wand!" He hurriedly pulled his wand out of his pocket and handed it to Dracula, "This wand was Charlie's. Then Charlie bought a new wand himself, and my mother gave me the old wand."
"Mom thought she would save seven Galleons in the cost of her wand, and she wouldn't have thought I'd break it after only a year......
Harry glanced at Ron sympathetically and patted him on the shoulder.
Dracula didn't care what Ron said. He wasn't at all interested in the original story of Ron's wand, only the wand itself, which was able to fire spells in reverse.
As soon as he took the wand from Ron's hand, Dracula felt the wand in his hand begin to tremble slightly
Trembling.
It was the same feeling he had felt when he had just awakened and tried out the core of the unicorn tail wand at the Ollivanders Wand Shop. The difference is only that this one's struggle is much weaker, and I don't know if it's because this wand has been damaged.
"The core of the unicorn's tail?" Dracula asked casually.
"That's right, I've heard Charlie say that the core of the rod is unicorn tail hair, made of ash, and 12 inches long." Ron's eyes lit up, and he carefully introduced, "Professor, do you know anything about wands? Can you help me fix it?"
A glimmer of hope rose in his heart—
If Professor Dracula had been able to fix his wand for him, he wouldn't have to tell Mrs. Wesley about the wand damage, and he might have taken a fat beating.
"I don't know, I'm not interested in wands or anything like that."
The next moment, Dracula's indifferent words extinguished Ron's newly raised hope. Ron pulled his shoulders down again.
Dracula looked at the wand that was struggling and trembling in his hand, thought for a moment, and slowly suppressed the dark power in his body to the deepest part, and only transmitted the purest magic power to the position of his right hand.
His right hand gradually radiated a glow, and his pale complexion became as warm as white jade.
Ron's wand gradually stopped trembling, slowly calmed down, no longer resisting Dracula's touch, and was quietly held in his hand. ….
With a satisfied smile on his face, Dracula raised his hand slightly.
"Fluorescent flickering (Lus)."
A flash of white light appeared on the tip of the wand, which was normal, except for the small sparks that appeared from time to time in the position of the wand, reminding the few people present that it was a bad wand.
"Isn't the amount of mana used enough?"
Dracula furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and then recited an enhanced version of the wand lighting spell—
"Bright as Day (LusSole)!"
Ron's wand sparked like never before, and then a dazzling light burst out from the end of the wand, illuminating the area in front of Hagrid's hut in a white patch, almost blinding the eyes of the three young wizards.
"Ahhhh Ron's voice came from the white swaying patch.
"Oops, I can't see!" Harry panicked, "Professor, what did you do?!"
"Harry, Ron, be quiet!" Hermione shouted, "We should be glad that Professor Dracula was experimenting with a lighting spell and not some offensive spell!"
"What's going on out there?" Hagrid's gruff voice belatedly emerged from the shed, and he asked in shock, "Harry, is that you?" I think I heard your voice just now!"
In the midst of the light, Dracula's burgundy eyes glowed, and he didn't close his eyes at all, and looked at the wand in his hand with interest.
He could feel that when his pure magic power passed through Ron's wand and reached the middle of the wand, it encountered quite a strong obstacle.
If you use the most basic wand lighting spell, which doesn't cost much mana at all, Dracula's magic will be partially weakened by the wand, and sparks will spill out from the outside of the wand, and the rest of the magic will pass through the obstacles and continue to achieve the original purpose and cast the spell.
However, if you use the most advanced version of the wand illumination charm, there is quite a lot of mana to trigger, and this excess mana piles up and it is difficult to pass through the obstacle in the center of the wand. As a result, the mana will get stuck in the barrier, accumulate, and eventually explode!
This situation is somewhat similar to the explosion of Muggle guns and guns, both of which are powerful and accidental.
However, the difference is that Muggle guns are completely destroyed and cannot be used again; Ron's wand "explodes" are used to expel the original magic power from the end of the wand, and there is room for reuse.
That's why Ron was able to use the extremely effective Slug Spell.
After figuring out how the end of his wand fires a spell, Dracula happily curled the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers in the panicked voices of the three little ones and Hagrid.
"Nox."
This is the wand extinguishing spell, the anti-spell of the illumination spell.
Then, the bright light suddenly dissipated, and the front of Hagrid's hut was back to its former vibrancy.
"Thank you for your wand, Ron. It inspires me a little." Dracula shoved Ron's wand back into his hand and chuckled, "Hmm...... Otherwise, don't you two double your homework in the first two weeks? I can cancel it for you."

Dracula smiled and nodded to Hagrid, then picked up a black cloth cage at the door of Hagrid's hut and left Hagrid's shack.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, smiles of disbelief and surprise on their faces.
The next moment, they jumped up in unison—
"Yay!"
Looking at the performance of the two, Hermione pursed her lips with some irgam, and turned her gaze to Hagrid.
"Hagrid, what's in the cage that Professor Dracula took from the door?" She asked curiously.
"Oh, that's what you said." Hagrid yawned, rubbed his eyes, which had just been dazzled by the white light, and said casually, "Professor Dracula woke me up in the early hours of this morning, and the two of us went to the Forbidden Forest together to catch some interesting little things."
"I don't know what he did with that cage, but he at least had a dozen different kinds of magical creatures in it, like Hinkpunk, Grindy Low, or the like...... I guess Professor Dracula is probably going to bring those animals to class."
"Oh, by the way, Professor Dracula mentioned to me before that he won't be going to give homework for the first half of the month."
Harry and Ron's excited cheers fell silent.
