Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 16 Ron's Desire

Strange to say.

The glowing red "rope" didn't look very long, only about two or three inches, but it was able to connect the ten-inch-long stick from end to end, and it wasn't a straight line.

Harry could see clearly that the cross section of the stick was also engraved with various symbols, which now emitted a faint red light.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, or maybe a few hours, but the “rope” finally reached the end, and then the two halves of the stick quickly closed together.

"Is that it, ready?" Harry's throat moved and his voice was a little dry.

"Not even close." Xi Lun stared at the wand in front of him without blinking, waving his hand, "You'd better step back a little. I don't know if it will explode this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Harry and his companions began to stumble backwards. Neville and Seamus almost bumped into each other... Mainly because they had been standing for too long and their legs were a little numb.

At this time, they actually had the idea of ​​leaving, but before they could reach the door, they heard a loud friction sound.

Creaking sound, as if someone was sawing wood.

Under the horrified gazes of several people, the magic wand automatically floated into the air and began to shake violently.

In a trance, Ron seemed to see the shadow of a strange creature.

It was only about twenty inches tall, with gray-brown skin as rough as a tree stump. The most conspicuous thing about it was its head, which was covered in a scarlet hat that looked as if it had been soaked in blood.

The monster roared and swung a wooden stick vigorously.

"Snapped!"

Ron was suddenly awakened by a hard tap on his shoulder.

"Run, it's Red Cap!" he shouted, reaching out to grab Harry.

"What are you talking about? What red hat?" Harry was pulled hard and almost fell down, not knowing what was going on.

There was no other way, he could only hold Ron, who was jumping up and down, together with Seamus and Neville.

With the joint efforts of several people, Ron gradually calmed down.

It was still the familiar dormitory, and I could faintly hear laughter coming from the common room.

"Red, where is the red hat?" He rubbed his eyes and asked blankly.

"What red hat?" Harry let go of his arm. "There's nothing here. What's wrong with you?"

"But I clearly saw..." Ron rubbed his eyes again, "Did I see it wrong?"

"You're not mistaken." Xi Lun said, attracting everyone's attention.

He looked at Ron with interest, then at the wand on the table.

"It's amazing. It should have exploded, but it miraculously fused, and you can see the original appearance of the core."

He picked up his wand.

【Hollywood, Red Hat Nerve, 10 inches】

【Condition: Perfect】

[Features: Poison spell success rate +5%; Explosive spell success rate +10%]

It was really like meeting Merlin.

Xiren exerted a little force on the hand holding the wand.

Two characteristics, although the bonus is very low and it is not even worthy of a name, but Merlin has two!
And they are all positive attributes!
Ciron looked at Ron again, thought for a moment, and then handed over the wand.

"Want to try it?"

"Huh?" Ron was stunned. "Me?"

"Yes." Xi Lun nodded.

Ron didn't think too much about it. He stood up excitedly, wiped his hands and took the wand.

He dreamed of having a new wand of his own.

Although this wand was not his, it was at least new.

"Try it." said Xi Lun.

"try what?"

"The spells you're most familiar with." "Oh." Ron licked his lips and cleared his throat.

"Daisies, sweet cream, and sunshine."

"Turn this tattered table yellow."

hum...

A flash of light passed before everyone's eyes, and the originally brown table turned bright yellow in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my God!" Ron covered his mouth in disbelief. "This spell is actually real!"

Not only him, Harry's eyes widened as well.

He had seen Ron use the spell on the train, but nothing had happened then.

But why is it successful now?

"It seems like you and this wand are a good match." Xiren raised an eyebrow. "Would you consider buying it? I can give you a great discount."

"How much?" Ron's eyes lit up.

"Seven Galleons," Xi Lun said. "That's the price for all new students."

The light in Ron's eyes quickly went out, and he reluctantly placed the wand back on the table.

"I don't have any money, not even seven cents." He lowered his head and blushed.

"I'll pay for you!" Harry, who was full of wealth, reached into his pocket and grabbed a handful of shiny gold coins.

He was rich, with a small mountain of gold in his vault, so it was easy for him to buy a wand for his friend.

"No, don't!" Ron grabbed Harry's arm, his face getting redder.

"Besides... I already have a wand, so there's no need to buy another one."

If he hadn't kept glancing down at the table as he said this, Harry might have believed it.

But Ron said he didn't want anything, and he couldn't force him to buy it.

"It's okay, I can keep it for you." Xilun reached out and took the wand, and the two of them no longer continued to stalemate.

"I'll put it in Ollivander's Wand Shop later and you can buy it anytime."

"Okay!" Ron licked his lips again and nodded vigorously.

"You must keep it for me." He reminded again.

Seeing that Xi Lun agreed, Ron quickly returned to his original appearance. He and the other three apologized to Xi Lun and then left the dormitory.

The party wasn't over yet, so they decided to grab a bite to eat and a bottle of Butterbeer.

There was only one person left in the dormitory.

Xi Lun took out the magic wand again and recalled the process of the fusion of the wand body and the wand core.

He was too familiar with the frequency of the violent shaking and the harsh noise just now. It was definitely a prelude to an explosion.

But in the moment before the explosion, all abnormalities disappeared.

Even more coincidental was that Ron could see the red hat of the wand core again.

This is a kind of resonance that only occurs when the wizard and the wand are highly compatible when making the wand. It is almost impossible to occur under normal circumstances.

After all, when wand makers make wands, they will choose a quiet place where there are usually no other wizards around.

Xilun’s case is special this time.

He hadn't expected to succeed at all; he was simply trying to appease his classmates and make an excuse for himself.

Let them see how dangerous the things they usually do are and that they can even explode. It is for their own good not to live in the same dormitory.

Xi Lun had a good idea, but he didn't expect it to succeed this time.

He failed for a month, but this time he actually completed it!

"Because of Ron?" Xi Lun muttered to himself, thinking of the words that he had heard so many times that his ears were almost covered with calluses.

The wand chooses the wizard...
