Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 37 Shrinking the Core

Chapter 37 Shrinking the Core

In fact, Xi Lun thought about it for a long time last night, and was still struggling over whether to use the spine as the core of the staff or the body of the staff.

In the history of the wizarding world, there are actually bone wands, as well as stone, metal, crystal, mithril and even gold wands.

Because the magic system was very chaotic at that time, wands were basically customized according to their own abilities.

It was not until the time of King Arthur that the legendary wizard Merlin organized and summarized his vast magical knowledge, passed it on to the people around King Arthur, and allowed them to pass it on to their apprentices.

Since then, magic began to be passed down on a large scale, and because of the influence of King Arthur, this inheritance gradually became a more authoritative and formal mainstream magic.

Later, this change was also reflected in the magic wand... Because Merlin's wand was made of wood, as mainstream magic became popular, those strange wands gradually disappeared.

These Ollivander family records are all kept, and if Siren wanted to, he could also find specific information about the bone staff.

Using the spinal nerve as the core of the wand will make it much easier to make.

But Xi Lun finally gave up.

How should I put it? It's mainly a matter of image.
The sight of waving a spine in battle was too terrifying. He would definitely be mistaken for a dark wizard, and Xi Lun didn't want to be watched by Aurors all the time.

In addition, for him, although it is a bit troublesome to make the spine into the core of the wand, it is not impossible. At most, it will take a little more time.

For example, use the time others spend watching the game to do important things.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Quidditch game began, but Xiren remained indifferent and continued to tap around the spine with his wand.

But Hagrid was in a dilemma.

He now faced two choices, one was to stay and watch Siren, whose behavior was strange and looked like a dark wizard performing some kind of ritual, and the other was to go to the Quidditch field and cheer for Harry, who was participating in the game for the first time.

Hagrid wanted to choose both, but he couldn't split himself in two, so he could only stand there and worry.

It wasn't until five minutes later that cheers came from the direction of the stadium and Hagrid finally made a decision.

He chose to believe Xiren and left the cabin to cheer for Harry.

Even though he thought it was ridiculous to make a wand core out of a five-foot-long bone, he was willing to believe that Xilun had not lied to him.

Also, Xilun was too boring here. He had been doing the same repetitive movements for nearly two hours, and he was almost getting sleepy.

Still, it's fun to watch the game.

Hagrid came swiftly to the Quidditch pitch, just in time to see Harry diving towards the ground on his broom.

Then he covered his mouth with his hand, and a golden object fell into his palm.

"I've caught the Snitch!" Harry shouted, waving his hands above his head.

"Oh, no..." Hagrid also shouted in his heart. He had just arrived and hadn't even found a seat yet. How come the game was over!

But the next second, he started cheering for Harry with the other Gryffindor students.

It's rare for a Seeker to catch the Golden Snitch in their first game. It seems Harry is really talented.

The game was over, the audience left and Hagrid returned to his cabin.

"You missed a great game, Cielen," Hagrid said excitedly. "Gryffindor won, and Harry caught the Golden Snitch."

"Really? What a pity." Xi Lun said without turning his head. There was no trace of pity in his tone, it was just perfunctory.

It would be difficult for him to be interested in Quidditch before he added a wand core to his broomstick.

"and many more……"

At this moment, Hagrid suddenly noticed something and walked to the fireplace in confusion.

Was it an illusion? Why did he feel like this bone had shrunk?
If it was five feet long and as thick as a bowl before, it was now only about four feet long and as thick as a teacup. "You got a new one?" Hagrid couldn't help asking.

"Where can I get a new one..." Xi Lun curled his lips.

If he could change, why would he have to run here early in the morning on the weekend? Isn't he uncomfortable in the dormitory?

"Then what's going on?"

"Necessary processing." Xi Lun explained: "I just want to challenge the core of this material. I don't really want to make a wand for giants."

Making wands for giants... If this news gets out, the Aurors will throw him to Azkaban overnight without even having to wait until the next day.

Some things are the bottom line. The Wizarding Law stipulates that creatures such as centaurs, giants, murlocs, goblins, and house-elves are absolutely prohibited from using wands. Even if they are given wands, it is a serious crime and they will be sent to Azkaban.

Xi Lun has no intention of provoking the Ministry of Magic for the time being.

Hagrid couldn't help but step forward to take a look, and then he noticed that there were no signs of wear or disassembly on the spine, and it was completely proportionally shrunk.

"how did you do that?"

"Just a little insignificant trick." Xilun rubbed his wrist.

"Oh, I see." Hagrid showed a look of sudden realization. "This must be a method only Ollivander has. It's amazing."

"I guess so." Xi Lun said without explaining.

Ollivander's usual wand core making method cannot handle such a large troll spine. This is a special talent that only he can achieve. The explanation that wizards can more easily accept is... the wand core Mags?

But on the other hand, Siren was also an Ollivander, so what Hagrid said was not wrong.

"What are you going to do next?" Hagrid poured Xiren a cup of tea. "Continue to make it smaller?"

"Wait a minute, I need to calm down." Xi Lun took the cup and took a sip. The pine needle tea tasted strange, but it was acceptable.

Because he is still too young, his current magic power and physical strength are not enough to support him to complete this difficult task in one go.

But Xilun was not in a hurry, as he could make the staff body during this period.

Xi Lun looked at the table not far away.

An hour ago, Hagrid had retrieved the troll's club and was leaving it on the table over there.

Xi Lun walked over, holding the stick in both hands, and prepared to move to another place to deal with it roughly.
But the embarrassing thing was that he failed to move the stick the first time, and his face turned red the second time, and the stick only shook slightly.

"Need some help?" Hagrid put the copper kettle full of water on the stove and stood up and walked over.

"No, no," Xi Lun quickly waved his hand, pretending to be nonchalant. "I just wanted to check its material. This giant monster has good taste and actually picked a piece of oak."

"is it?"

"Of course, I am a wizard." Xiren took out a magic wand.

"Wingardium-Leviosa!"

The wooden stick floated up and landed in front of Xilun, making a dull thud.

Xi Lun raised his eyebrows. Magic was indeed more useful.

"Dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Hagrid, are you home? We've come to see you!"
