Chapter 114 Holy Ceremony (Modified)
In terms of subduing the basilisk, the book reminds: Except that the basilisk can communicate with the Parseltongue and may compromise with each other or even be controlled, no one can do anything to it, so they are not only dangerous to other people, but also to most dark wizards. It's dangerous, and Slytherin will only be controlled by his heirs.
But Allen didn't know whether Tom Riddle's soul fragment had completely controlled the basilisk, because unlike in the past, the basilisk didn't really kill any students this time, if it was just one or two coincidences, it would make sense , But every time this happened, Allen had to have doubts.
Close the book and think quietly. Although the magic resistance of the basilisk's skin is very high, it is obvious that some physical effects can also play a role. In the original plot, the phoenix Fox caught the opponent's eyes, and the basilisk was also captured by Harry Potter. It should be subdued by violent means, and its natural enemy, the crowing of the rooster, is also fatal to it.
However, its "death gaze" is really embarrassing. Allen is determined to study it carefully. This is its most powerful feature. Anyone who directly sees its eyes will die immediately!
Time flew by like water, and in the library, when Allen was measuring his homework for History of Magic class with a ruler, Harry, Ron and Hermione found him.
"Please wait a moment, let me measure the size first." Allen looked up at the three of Harry and continued to complete the measurement at hand.
Professor Binns asked students to write a three-foot-long essay on "Convention of Wizards in Medieval Europe". Allen wrote eloquently, almost nearly five feet! Allen put down the ruler with satisfaction, put away his homework, and then looked at the three of Harry.
Ron stared at Allen enviously. They were also assigned the same homework. After racking his brains, he was still eight inches short of his homework.
"Alan, Ron's wand has been dried in the shade seven times." Harry said to Alan quickly.
"Yes, we came to ask, when will you be free to help with the rest of the wand-making process?"
Hermione was more anxious than Ron, and asked first. Ron looked at Allen eagerly from the sidelines.
Allen looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky outside through the window of the library, nodded in agreement and said, "Just tonight."
The three of Harry cheered louder, causing Mrs. Pince to look at them disapprovingly.
"I'll go back to get the tools and materials, and I'll meet you on the lawn by the lake later." Allen began to pack up the things on his desktop.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and unknown grass insects are singing happily in the grass. Walking by the lake, feeling the breeze, Alan was calm, which was very good for the upcoming holy ceremony, but the trio in the distance were obviously more emotional.
"The wand is here!" Ron handed the wand wrapped in black silk cloth to Allen.
Allen checked the wand carefully from the inside to the outside, and nodded with satisfaction. Although Ron looked carefree, he was still very careful about his wand.
Allen took out the wand core woven of pure white unicorn hair, and carefully inserted it into the middle of the willow branch. Miraculously, although the willow branch is not hollow, the braided unicorn hair is like a long white needle, piercing through the tree and inserted into the very center of the wand. Then, the top of the wand is automatically sealed, wrapping the core firmly in the willow branches.
Allen took out the spices and a pot of star lake water. He first sprinkled the water on the branches lightly, and at the same time every word uttered from his thin lips turned into silver runes and entered the wand. A pure white halo shrouded the wand.
Then, Allen lit the spices, and a breath of the ocean was sent to the noses of several people by the breeze. "This is a comprehensive extraction of the roots, stems, leaves and other parts of various marine plants. Burning it can take away the impure substances on the wand. It can also give the wand the effect of boosting the spirit." Allen used this This production method is different from Ollivander's staff production method,
It is the production method in the handbook written by the Arab alchemist Jeber in the eighth century AD.
Allen took the wand through the burning spice, and could feel that the burning essence sucked out all the impure things on the wand, and then these substances turned into black smoke and drifted away with the breeze.
When there was no more black smoke coming out of the wand, Allen extinguished the flame and handed the wand to Ron, "Try it!"
Ron waved his wand lightly, and a stream of clear water spurted out from one end of the wand, shooting Harry like a prank, and caught him off guard.
"It's great! I've never felt so easy to cast a spell!" Ron was amazed, but in fact he just never used his own wand, and the performance is not really much better than other wands .
"Thank you for helping Ron make the wand, which opened our eyes." Hermione glared at Ron, who had ignored etiquette because he got the wand, and thanked Allen.
Allen smiled at Hermione, "It's nothing, this wand can be seen to like Ron very much, you and Harry just need to remind him to take care of it often."
Harry wiped his wet glasses, "You should do this to Malfoy next time instead of me!"
On the way back to the castle, Ron loved his new wand. He has been wearing the old robe left over from his brothers, playing with the old toys that his brothers played with, and owning a pet that his brother didn't want. So to have a new wand that is all his own is such a wonderful feeling!
After saying goodbye to Harry and the others, Alan didn't go to the library anymore, he wanted to go back to the dormitory to study his newly borrowed "Illustrated Book of Mysterious Animals". Although it does not record a more effective solution to the basilisk, the other contents in the book are still very vivid and interesting, and Alan is a little fascinated.
Just as Allen was immersed in the book, Benny flew in from the window with a note. The beautiful handwriting on it made Allen recognize at a glance that it was a letter from Firenze.
When I opened it, I saw that the letter said: "Tina said that the little bird and snake are about to break out of their shells, come and see them!"
Without delay, Allen jumped up and ran towards the Forbidden Forest. Sure enough, Firenze was already waiting for him at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.
When Alan and the others came to Tina's nest, just in time for the little bird and snake to break out of its shell. I saw the silver bird snake egg trembling constantly, and then a small blue snake-like bird got out of the broken eggshell.
Tina shrunk her body, lovingly touched the little bird snake with her head, expressing her joy.
Gaia touched the little bird snake's head carefully, whispered softly, and gave the little guy the best wishes.
Tina looked at Alan, and pushed the silver eggshell left in the nest towards Alan. "It's thanking you, accept it!" Gaia watched this scene moved, and urged Allen to accept it for Tina.
These eggshells are all silver. Although they are broken, most of them are relatively complete. Without refusing, Allen put away the eggshell. Although Alan is not short of money, it is very meaningful to be able to collect the eggshells of small birds and snakes.
