Chapter 103 Bowtruckle (Modified)

After Professor Pomona Sprout's herbal class on repotting mandrakes that can restore transformed or enchanted people to their original state, the little wizards weary Walked back to the castle and took a shower.

Allen is no exception. Although the cries of these young mandrakes can't kill people, I heard that someone in Gryffindor has fainted because they didn't wear earplugs. Professor Te’s name, Pomona, is derived from the name of the goddess of fruit in Roman mythology, and his surname, Sprout, means to sprout. Regardless of teaching level, no one is more suitable than Professor Pomona Sprout. Served as a professor of herbal medicine.

The content taught by McGonagall in the Transfiguration class was always difficult, and today it was even more difficult—especially for low-grade students like them.

Professor McGonagall asked the little wizards to turn a beetle into a button. The more exquisite the better, Alan, who is good at transfiguration, finally turned the beetle into a button very smoothly, but how did he turn the beetle into a more exquisite one? Horns were drilled into the buttons.

Edward was surprised to see that the beetle in front of Allen changed from one moment to the next, metal buttons, flower buttons, exquisite suit buttons, vintage buttons... even turned into transparent crystal buttons! Compared to the effort he spent for a long time, just letting the beetle exercise and run around the table avoiding the wand, Allen couldn't believe his eyes, and was so surprised that he doubted life.

Obviously, Professor McGonagall also saw this scene. "Oh, Mr. Harris, oh! Excellent transfiguration, very few students can complete the transfiguration in such a fast time, five points for Ravenclaw."

Roommate Edward had to turn to Allen for help, and wanted to hear what he could do. Allen was very generous and introduced the main points of the action and his own experience to Edward in detail. When the class was over, Edward held a Roman clasp contentedly, as if he was holding a rare treasure in the world. He seemed to be planning to use it and forgot the fact that the deformation effect would disappear in the end. Alan didn't remind his roommate , he may have discovered at some point that his clothes had been buttoned by a beetle...

In the next few days, whether it was flight class, history of magic, charm class or astronomy, even the most rigorous potion class, Allen was worthy of his title of "score master". The desire to add points to other Ravenclaws who didn't have much desire to win the Academy Cup made the Eagle Academy begin to widen the distance from other academies.

But on Friday, the happy mood of the Ravenclaws disappeared, because Ron of Gryffindor actually punched the head of their beloved dean, Professor Flitwick, into a big green bag! This made the Ravenclaws very unhappy.

Allen found Harry and Ron for this, and found out what happened. Ron's wand was broken by the Whomping Willow, out of control, he patched it himself with magic tape but it didn't seem to work, it flew out of Ron's hand during Charms class, and hit Between the eyebrows of little Professor Flitwick, at least Ron didn't do it on purpose.

"Why don't you write home and ask for another one?" Alan asked.

"Yeah, I got another Howler letter, and it's all your fault that your wand broke—" Ron said, and handed the wand to Allen, indicating that he really didn't mean it, "It was originally My brother Charlie's wand, and they won't let me know I broke it..."

"Ash (ash) wand... unicorn hair wand core..." Allen grasped Ron's wand and identified it, "Oh, I think so, Ron, you were born in the ash month , maybe this is why Mrs. Weasley and the others made such a mistake.” (Author’s Note: The Kate culture divides a year into thirteen months named after trees, which can be understood as something similar to the Chinese lunar calendar .)

"Yes, my birthday is March 1, but what did they do wrong?" Ron looked a little dazed.

"In most cases,

It is true that many wizards will be chosen by the sacred tree of the same month as their own. This may be because they have some preliminary understanding of wand science. They think that you born in the white wax moon are naturally suitable for the white ash wood, so I will give you the wand of your brother Charlie. The reason for using it..." Allen explained, "However, the harder the wand material is, the more loyal it is to the owner. The material of ash wood is inseparable from his owner. In other words, the ash wand cannot Passed or gifted, it will gradually lose its magic power and skills, and even the cast spells will be tempered and bounced back, and if the core of the wand comes from a unicorn, this characteristic will be reflected to the extreme..."

A somewhat understanding Harry asked back: "Alan, you mean that Ron's situation is not just because his wand is broken?"

"Perhaps you can understand that breaking itself is somewhat due to the self-selection of the wand?" Allen imitated Ollivander's magic wand tone, "If you continue to use it, it may self-destruct and explode...Maybe you The nickname of the blasting genius in the academy will fall on you."

Ron also understood: "Alan, are you saying that my brother Charlie's old wand is resisting me?"

Allen nodded, and with a little interest, he put his hands behind his back and explained to the two Gryffindors: "To be precise, it is resisting everyone except your brother—Mr. Ollivander, the master wand often It is said that the wand chooses the wizard, although I don't completely agree with it, but it can be explained in some ways.

Although this wand is your holy tree moon, it is your brother Charlie's wand, at least it thinks so, and even if it is a new wand, I am afraid it is not suitable for you Ron, he is more suitable for a Brave warriors, ash wood is a very masculine plant, and the myths and legends about it in various wizarding or Muggle worlds are inseparable from the topic of warriors.

Of course, Ron, I'm not saying you're not brave, it's just that maybe he's more of a fighter than your brother Charlie? So ash wood is not for you, its characteristics are very different from yours, it has never really recognized you as master, I have heard of your behavior in class, many spells cannot be used proficiently, I think it is also because in this way…"

"Merlin's ears are hairy! You know a lot..." Ron was a little stunned, and then a little sluggish, "But what should I do next?"

"Ron, aren't you going to tell Mrs. Weasley about this?" Harry was a little puzzled. Looking at it now, he couldn't blame Ron entirely, and his grades had not been very good because of this.

"Forget it, Harry, Ginny has also come to school this year, and the family has already spent a lot of money..." Ron shook his head dejectedly, and then forced a smile at Harry, "And I plan to save this reason for later." Let's talk about it after the final exams this semester...so they have no reason to blame me."

"Ron, maybe I can help you make a new one..." Allen didn't want anything to happen to his favorite professor! "I'm teaching myself how to make a wand recently, but it may take a while, I need to collect materials, but I'll take a look at the wand again to see if there is any temporary remedy..."

Thinking of the content of the alchemy manual of the ancient alchemy master Jeber that he got when he was doing the task, Allen suddenly became interested, and he just took this opportunity to practice his skills, and Allen did not intend to let Professor Lockhart The lesson learned is to make the other party lose their memory simply because they used Ron's damaged wand.

"Great! Ron's wand has greatly affected his performance in class! I'm really afraid he will hurt someone when he casts a spell!" Harry was happy for Ron, Alan is really a rare friend, he omnipotent!

"Thank you, Alan!" Ron also felt that Alan was really a good person, and it was his luck to know him. "You know a lot more than Hermione!"

Allen, who focused on the broken wand, nodded casually as a response. After careful observation again, he noticed that the wand was very damaged, not just the broken part, but the whole wand seemed to be dying slowly.

"Restore as before." Allen just tried to cast a spell, and saw a puff of black smoke coming out. After studying for a long time, Allen, who was just a beginner in this field, didn't think of any good way. I could only return the wand to Ron, "I'll come back to you when I get the materials ready!"

With an idea in mind, Alan couldn't wait to try his own experiment. After he and Harry Ron separated, he went to a remote place and cast the Disillusionment Charm, determined to go to the Forbidden Forest to find suitable wand materials for Ron.

There are many kinds of trees in the Forbidden Forest, but Allen hoped to find a willow tree, because he remembered that in the original future, the new wand that Ron got was made of willow tree. The soft willow tree is relatively mild and suitable for the physique of most wizards, although Cooperating with unicorn hair will appear to be a bit lacking in power, but Allen has already thought of a compensation plan-the most famous willow tree in the Forbidden Forest is probably the Whomping Willow, and its rough personality will more or less make up for this deficiency.

Allen quickly reached the place where the Whomping Willow survived, but he had no intention of challenging the Whomping Willow at all. After all, he wanted to choose a willow branch with flexible branches, not a thick, twisted, crazy branch like a python.

Allen came to a sunny glade and walked to a small tree bathed in sunlight. Its verdant branches and leaves sway softly under the caress of the breeze, exuding vitality.

As soon as I approached, a nest of Bowtruckles creaked and rushed out from among the leaves. "It's you!" After observing for a long time, Alan selected a branch that looked the strongest and most flexible, and only a bowtruckle was suitable for making a magic wand.

Bowtruckles are very small, with two small brown eyes. From the outside, it seems to be made of bark and twigs, so Alan couldn't tell it just now. This kind of animal is extremely rare to see. In addition to knowing about them in books, this is the first time Alan has seen them. Bowtruckles that eat insects have a very peaceful temperament and are extremely shy. If Alan didn't let them feel They realized that the willow tree where they were located was threatened, and they would not attack Allen.

I saw the Bowtruckles clattering and clattering, jumping down from the willow tree, and pounced on Alan, trying to gouge out Alan's eyes with their sharp fingers.

"There are many obstacles, fainting, and freezing quickly." Allen's reaction was very fast, and he cast the spell in time, hitting these small animals with precision. This is not easy, because these Bowtruckles are too small and agile, and there are a lot of them-Alan didn't prepare food in exchange for their trust and materials for making wands. He used a rougher method, and the desserts he was carrying were gifts for Gaia later.

After ensuring that these little animals had no resistance, Allen easily got his favorite willow branch.

However, Allen did not let these Bowtruckles fend for themselves. He quickly searched in the Forbidden Forest, and soon found some woodjacks as food substitutes, and captured them back, although it was very difficult for these poor woodjacks. To say that it is unintentional is a disaster without reason.

Then he cast healing spells and recovery spells on the Bowtruckles, and these little animals became lively again, some retreated to the trees, some bared their teeth and claws, and bluffed, but they didn't dare to violate Allen again. When Allen provided them with the caught wood turtles, they were very happy, were appeased, and quickly calmed down.

Next, Alan went to the place where the unicorns lived according to his vision. As soon as she appeared near the site where the unicorn was, Gaia appeared in front of Allen. It said cheerfully: "I saw you when I was flying in the sky just now, and you really came to find me! Have you finished eating the berries I gave you last time? Is it delicious? I'll go get you some more !"

Upon seeing Alan, Gaia talked a lot like a cannonball, and it even thought that Alan was here to ask for berries. This made Allen quite funny, do I look so much like a foodie?

"Gaia, I came here today to ask if your unicorns have lost hair?" Although it was a bit difficult to say, Allen still said it.
