Chapter 37: The Making of Wands

Since 382 B.C., wands made by the Ollivanders family have been stick-shaped, long or short, thick or thin, and have never made such a strangely shaped wand.

But Hope is right, blindly conservative can not make the family prosperous, look at the previous Ollivander family galloping in the wizarding world, almost all wizards have a wand made by the Ollivander family, and then look at the present, the major wand families are gradually developing, not to mention it in the distance, just say that in the European wizarding world, a wand family in France is the same as the Ollivanders.

The only thing they could do now was the sign with Ollivanders, who had been making fine wands since 382 B.C.

Now that he had such a wonderful idea in front of him, and with plenty of material, Matteo, who had been thinking about it all night, finally agreed to Hope's request.

And Matteo has a bolder idea, it's all customized anyway, you might as well be a little bolder, everyone plays their own ideas, and makes a wand of their own.

Hope exclaimed: "My roommate, I have the posture of a staff master!" ”

This made Matteo angry for a long time, because one of his favorite books had a pit son's father who said something to the same effect.

Near noon, Hope packed a bag of beef patties and a few bottles of pumpkin juice from the kitchen, and came to the abandoned classroom on the basement floor as agreed, but he came early, and the others had not yet come.

After cleaning, Hope put a few more desks together, put the beef patties and pumpkin juice on the table.

At this time, Matteo, Caleb, and Yulin also arrived.

Looking at the beef patties and pumpkin juice on the table, Yulin asked suspiciously, "Isn't it time to have lunch yet?" Have you found the kitchen? ”

"Of course, it's no secret to Hufflepuff." Hope said as a matter of course.

Matteo and Caleb: Well, they don't know.

"As long as you ask a Hufflepuff senior where the kitchen is, he'll take you as soon as he knows," Hope explained. It's a little bonus for us Hufflepuffs. ”

Yulin looked at Hope with a wink, and said softly, "Can you take me to see it?" I'm curious how the kitchen works, given that he's in charge of food for so many people and can deliver it to the table in the hall. ”

Hope thought about it, and Cedric didn't seem to say that he couldn't take people from other houses to the kitchen.

"Yes, but there are two rules that need to be known, we can't take the initiative to reveal the location of the kitchen, but if someone asks you you can choose to take him there, and secondly, we try not to disturb them during meal time, because they are busy at this time."

Yulene sensed Hope's words and asked, "They?" ”

"That's right, they, a bunch of house-elves."

"What's a house-elf?" Caleb asked, puzzled, that in the world of magic he always encountered something strange and interesting.

Without waiting for Hope to speak, Yulin preemptively explained: "Haven't you been to the bank in Diagon Alley, house-elves are the goblins inside, but house-elves have served their masters for generations, they do housework and cooking and the like are great, we have one in our family, and they will punish themselves if they do something wrong." ”

Hope added: "Simply put, it's a slave. ”

Yulin was not happy, "What are slaves, they are born like this, okay. ”

"It is recorded in the history books that the races conquered by sorcerers in ancient wars, they were trained to be servile for generations." Hope said.

Caleb, who has received a modern education, can't accept it, "It's a little too cruel." ”

Hope shook his head and said, "You can't say that, if it weren't for the wizard winning, maybe we would be slaves, after all, history was quite cruel in ancient times." ”

Yulin didn't refute, although she hadn't read a history book, but she knew that she would be the last person to be uncomfortable with Hope, so she decided to go to the library and borrow a history book to read.

Matteo saw that the topic was getting farther and farther away, and he came to discuss wands today, so he clapped his hands: "Let's talk about business, let's talk about making wands today." ”

Only then did everyone stop their desire to continue the discussion and fell silent.

Matteo cleared his throat. said: "Yesterday Hope said that I was moved, since we make wands, then we have to make a unique wand of our own, and everyone can add any ideas they have. ”

With that, Matteo brought each of them a piece of parchment and quill.

"Let's draw the wand you want, and then we'll figure out how to make it happen!"

Having the parchment, Yurin and Caleb were in a dilemma, how could they design a wand, and their wands had not yet understood.

Looking at the way Hope was struggling to write, the two thought for a while and began to draw.

Hope simplified the magic pistol he made yesterday by eliminating the bullets first, which was cool but a little hard to achieve.

The trigger is meant to remain, which is something that replaces the spell casting gesture, but the magic of the released magic needs to be stored somewhere, so a "magazine" is also needed.

It wasn't long before the wands were all designed.

Yulin's wand was not as unusual as Hope, at first glance it looked like an ordinary wand, but Yulin embellished it with a lot of star patterns, and her idea was that the stars would shine when casting spells, rather than waving her wand monotonously.

Caleb's wand design is unremarkable, I don't know and think he drew one compared to his own wand, Caleb said that he can't think of any good ideas, but he thinks his wand is too light, and not too hard, he hopes that his wand can be heavier, harder, so that when others are close, he can directly use his wand to hit people.

Matteo didn't paint, and he felt that his mind was limited by what he had learned, so he simply stopped drawing.

Matteo looked at the wand designed by the three of them, his brows tightened, it was a little difficult, Yurin's wand wanted to shine when casting the spell, if he let the magic do such a superfluous thing, he felt that the power of the released spell would be reduced, and doing this kind of superfluous thing would directly cause the spell to fail.

Caleb's wand wanted to be a little harder, but the wand is wooden, and it can be achieved if it is wrapped in a layer of metal on the outside, but will the wrapped metal make it impossible to release the magic and make it impossible to cast spells?

It seems that Hope is reliable, and the difficulty lies in the trigger activation device, but Hope designed a mana storage device to simplify this step a lot, and mana storage is not difficult, there are many crystals that can do this.

It's a big head when you think about it, and if you think about it, let's measure the body data of a few people first.

Matteo measured information such as the length of several people's arms, palms, etc.

Hope was a little curious, he hadn't asked when he faced Mr. Ollivander before, and now he asked, "What's really the use of making these measurements?" ”

Matteo said as he took notes: "The main thing is to determine the proportions, how long the wand is easy to use." ”

"But doesn't the ratio change when you grow up?"

"It's okay, you'll get used to it anyway."

Hope: O_o?
