Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 27: Charms Class Before Halloween
In the next few days, the news that Harry had officially joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team spread throughout Hogwarts like wildfire.

In addition to being the savior, he has another identity... the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts.

Oliver Wood took him through his first practice on Friday afternoon.

The results of the training were kept secret, but that evening, a revelry took place in the Gryffindor common room that lasted until the early hours of the morning.

As a member of Gryffindor, Xi Lun naturally participated, and he also took the time to watch a Gryffindor training match, and by the way stuffed a broken broom into the innermost part of the broom closet.

It can't be said to be broken. I just simply replaced the broom handle, which doesn't affect normal flight... Well, probably.

Using the replaced century-old fir wood and the only remaining hair of Professor McGonagall, Xi Lun quickly made a second wand.

[Fir wood, wizard hair, 13 inches]

【Condition: Perfect】

[Features: Transfiguration +17 (55)%]

As Xilun thought, this wand no longer had [Disguise], but correspondingly, the basic bonus and upper limit of Transfiguration were improved.

It’s hard to say which one is better. After all, once this bonus reaches a certain level, it’s difficult to increase it further. 55% is the highest Xilun has ever seen.

He tried to wave it and turned the ink bottle on the table into an exquisite teapot.

It feels as easy as turning a match into a needle, but the teapot is much more complicated than a needle, and it even has intricate lines and designs on it.

"feel good."

Xi Lun decided to wait until Christmas and give it to Professor McGonagall as a gift.

The price of the wand itself, plus the exclusive customization, might even allow you to exchange it for a nice return gift.

Of course, he wasn't looking for a return gift, wasn't this just the right time?
Xi Lun pulled out a piece of golden cardboard from the suitcase, folded it into a long box in a few seconds, put a piece of black velvet cloth inside, and then placed the wand on it.

This is a pure handmade ancient magic wand box. Although it only costs two knuts, it is expensive in the market. It costs five Sickles to buy it in the store.

It's all from the heart.

After doing all this, Xilun concentrated on preparing his plan.

On Halloween Eve, the castle was shrouded in a festive atmosphere. Even the most remote corridors were filled with the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin.

The first class in the morning was Charms. The classes before a grand dinner were usually the most difficult. Fortunately, Professor Flitwick seemed to be aware of this.

In order to stimulate the students' interest, he finally stopped teaching those boring common magic in this class, and instead chose the levitation spell that most people had been looking forward to for a long time.

In particular, Professor Flitwick's action of using his wand to make Neville's toad fly all over the classroom almost completely satisfied the Muggle freshmen's imagination of wizards, and they were naturally motivated to learn.

But power is power, and the levitation spell is much more difficult than common magic. The difference... is probably equivalent to going from addition and subtraction within ten to multiplication and division of two-digit numbers.

After Professor Flitwick gave a few more instructions on the spells and wrist movements, he divided the class into groups of two and began training.

Because of seating issues, Harry was in a group with Seamus, and Ron, who was next to him, could only team up with Neville next to him. He didn't look very happy, and even a little scared, as if Neville would make his head fly off.

Next is Xi Lun. He has no choice. He is the second to last in the row, and the last is Hermione.

To be honest, Xi Lun was a little hesitant. In his memory, the quarrel between Ron and Hermione in the Charms class was the key premise for the formation of the trio. Now that Ron's teammate had become Neville, it was hard to say whether the savior could still find his real "brain".

"Xi Lun, what are you thinking about?"

Hermione's voice brought Ciron back to reality.

"Ah, nothing," he said casually, not dwelling on it any further. Never mind, there was Dumbledore.

Thinking of this, Xi Lun took out his wand, flicked his wrist lightly, and shook it... "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Compared to the levitation spell that was full of loopholes on the train, the spells and movements this time were much more standard.

The feather in front of him also rose smoothly and hovered five feet above his head.

"Oh, well done!" Professor Flitwick clapped his hands and shouted, "Look everyone, Mr. Ollivander has succeeded. Two points to Gryffindor!"

Hermione's face didn't look good. She also knew how to perform the levitation spell, but she was just one step slower than Siren, otherwise the two points would have been added to her.

But it doesn't matter, they are all Gryffindors anyway.

Hermione soon stopped caring because she had a new problem.

Both people in the same group learned the levitation spell, but the spells class had only started ten minutes ago, so how to deal with the boring time afterwards became the primary problem.

Hermione decided to help the others.

Her first target naturally fell on Neville.

He was so nervous when he waved his wand just now that he used too much force and almost hit Ron's face next to him with his wand.

Now there is a distance of at least three people between them, so it is impossible to practice together.

"Be gentle with your wrist, don't use so much force, this isn't hammering nails... The punctuation should be clear, it's Yuga-Dim, and the middle should be long and clear..."

Hermione taught Neville for half a lesson, which made her very anxious. Unfortunately, Neville did not make any progress at all, and the feather in front of him did not move at all.

"I've said it before, his wand is wrong, that's the key, the pronunciation and movements are just minor issues..."

"Since you are so capable, then come and give it a try." Hermione turned her head irritably and stared at Xiren.

"Okay, seven Galleons." Xi Lun held out a hand. "I can't guarantee the effect will be immediate, but it will definitely be better than it is now."

"You're still selling wands at this hour?" Hermione said, staring.

Neville... lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

In fact, he didn't want to change his wand from the bottom of his heart. If he had this idea, he wouldn't have waited until today.

Mrs. Longbottom might be the one who most wanted Neville to inherit Frank Longbottom's wand, but if Neville himself insisted on buying a new one, I believe she would compromise.

After all, although the Longbottom family had fallen on hard times, they were not so poor that they could not even afford a new wand.

Xi Lun smiled and said nothing.

This matter has little to do with him. Considering that they were roommates, he has done his best by reminding her twice. It is impossible for him to persuade her endlessly. Besides, if he talks too much, the other person will get annoyed.

What happens in the end depends on Neville's own thoughts. Otherwise, even if he gives away a wand for free, Neville will not use it.

Of course, this is just a possibility. The reality is that he definitely won't give it away for free.

Seven Galleons was already a losing business, and he couldn't even get subsidies from the Ministry of Magic, so it would be too much to give it away for free.
