Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Ron nodded and said softly:

"Yes, you are right, you know the situation of our family.

Charlie's old wand, Percy's rat!

Professor, can you fix this?"

Douglas picked up the wand and looked at it carefully, then shook his head regretfully:

"A wand is a very sophisticated magical item, unfortunately, I don't know how to use it.

But I can try the Repairing Charm!"

He remembered that in the original book, Harry seemed to have used the Elder Wand to restore a broken wand.

And he just happened to have a wand in his hand that was no worse than the Elder Wand.

Of course, this comment was made by Ollivander.

When he drew out his wand, Harry noticed that Douglas actually carried two wands with him.

Everyone stared at Ron's wand nervously.

Douglas shouted, "Back to normal!"

When the light of the spell fell on the broken wand.

The broken wand began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ron was delighted to see this scene, and he was thinking about the next time he would meet Malfoy.

Be sure to give him a good slug-spitting curse.

Let him also taste the feeling of vomiting.

Just as everyone was happy for Ron and Douglas was relieved.

"Oh!"

On the table, the wand that had just healed suddenly exploded.

Fortunately, Douglas reacted quickly in the instant of bang.

He instantly cast an armor spell on the three little ones and himself.

Although Hagrid is tall and strong, he quickly stretched out his huge arms at that moment.

Protect the big jar of pickled chicken feet on the table.

After the explosion, several people looked at each other.

Douglas was even more embarrassed, and he looked at the wand in his hand.

Then he looked at the wand that had been shattered into pieces.

Muttering under his breath: "Olivander, that old liar!"

Chapter 40 Behind the Weird School Rules

At this moment, Ron wanted to cry but had no tears.

He looked at the wand, which had turned to slag on the table, and then at Douglas.

Ron tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes and pretended to be indifferent:

"It's okay, Professor, it's not your fault.

He can’t use it normally anymore!”

Harry and Hermione didn't know how to comfort Ron for a moment.

Douglas shrugged and said helplessly:

"Don't be sad. Since I broke it completely, I'll compensate you."

Ron waved his hand quickly and said:

"No, no, it's broken!"

Seeing Ron's expression, Douglas said firmly:

“You are making me feel very sad.

How am I supposed to face Bill and Charlie after I've shattered their brother's wand into pieces and then just left it there?

Besides, spell experiments themselves have consumption, which is normal.

If I didn't have your wand to experiment with, I wouldn't know the difference between this wand and that one!

Well, it’s happily decided.”

After saying that, Douglas winked at Harry and Hermione who were standing aside.

The two soon understood what Douglas meant.

Also joined the team to comfort Ron.

Only Hagrid stood there, eating chicken feet heartlessly.

At the same time, he glanced cautiously at the pink umbrella in the corner, and then looked at Douglas with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

As Harry and Hermione presented facts and reasoned with each other.

Ron's attitude finally softened.

Douglas added at the right moment:

"Ron, I told Bill that I would give every new Weasley student a gift.

Unfortunately, I wasn't at Hogwarts when George, Fred, and you started.

Consider this your new wand as a school-entrance present from me. Just don't tell George and Fred about this.

After all, I didn’t plan to give them a gift!”

Ron heard that neither George nor Fred had any.

He immediately accepted Douglas' compensation with a smile on his face.

And he promised to keep it a secret from his two brothers.

Douglas couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Ron finally agreed.

This gift took so much effort to give.

Although he didn't have much contact with Ron, he relied on the description of Ron in the original book.

Douglas knew very well that Ron was actually a very proud and sensitive person.

Of course, this is not the only reason.

From what he knew about the Weasleys, they were a family that knew how to behave.

Give them a gift and they will definitely think about giving something in return.

Therefore, when giving gifts, you must consider the other party's financial affordability.

It would be fine if the value of the gift was within the Weasley family's means.

If the value is too high, it will embarrass the Weasley family and even make their already tight lives even more difficult.

So, every time Douglas gave gifts to the Weasley children, he would choose an appropriate time.

Moreover, he did not mind the sweaters made by Mrs. Weasley herself.

Although her aesthetics might differ from his, Mrs. Weasley was his in this world.

The only two elders who still remember their birthdays.

The other is Director George of the orphanage.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is definitely not that the Weasleys cannot afford to buy wands.

After all, Douglas didn't ask students to buy his books this year.

The money saved is enough to buy a magic wand.

Douglas bet that Ron definitely didn't dare tell his family that his wand was broken by the Whomping Willow during the flying accident.

After all, the deterrent effect of the yelling letter on the second day of school is still there.

With Douglas's help, the pork stewed with vermicelli was quickly prepared.

After all, according to Hagrid's habit, he cut the piece of meat into a size almost as big as Douglas's face.

Just as dinner was about to start, Hagrid mysteriously took out a long cylindrical bag woven from unicorn hair.

He handed it to Douglas cheerfully.

"Douglas, haven't you always wanted a pair of chopsticks made from unicorn horn?

Come and see if it fits you!"

Douglas looked at Hagrid in surprise and took the bag from him.

When I opened it, I saw a pair of chopsticks inside that were as golden as jade.

If he remembered correctly, he had mentioned this to Hagrid when he was in fifth grade, when he was talking about unicorns.

I didn't expect that Hagrid still remembered it after so many years.

Hagrid saw Douglas and waved his hand indifferently.

“Just last year, two poor unicorns were killed by a mysterious person.

Harry and the others also know about this..."

The three little ones stared at the pair of chopsticks.

Ron couldn't help but envy, "I wish my wand was like this!"

Hagrid laughed and winked at the three little ones:

"You probably don't know why there's a rule in the Hogwarts school rules that says 'You may not use your own or other people's wands as chopsticks.'"

The three little ones nodded in unison.

Harry said, "Before coming to Hogwarts, I didn't even know what chopsticks were!"

Ron said proudly:

“I know, I know, but honestly, chopsticks are not very convenient to use.

In the past, my mother would occasionally make hot pot and use chopsticks, but she was the only one in the family who could use them skillfully.

But I really don’t know where my mother learned it.”

Hermione was also very curious and said:

"I've been curious about this rule since last year, because I had the impression that chopsticks were only used in the East in the Muggle world.

And I found that apart from some Hufflepuff students, not many people at Hogwarts can use chopsticks.

Did Hogwarts ever have students from the East?

Hagrid didn't say anything, but his eyes made the three little ones realize that this rule was somehow related to Professor Holmes.

Douglas is trying out these Hagrid brand chopsticks.

It's just longer and thicker than the pair of unicorn horn chopsticks he made himself.

It is very suitable for use when eating hot pot.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Douglas rolled his eyes at Hagrid.

Next time I eat with Hagrid, no one else should be present. His mouth is too big.

"In fact, that school rule is used in conjunction with another rule: 'It is forbidden to use crucibles for hot pot.'"

There were once a few unlucky children who, while using their wands as chopsticks to stick into a crucible, accidentally triggered a spell without knowing the words.

This caused the hot pot to explode, killing several people and sending them to the school clinic...

Okay, let’s not talk about these sad past events.

The delicious food is right in front of you, how can you chat about those trivial things! "
