Chapter 331 Have You Heard of the Eight-Foot Wand?

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Zhou Yi opened the door.

A tall, thin woman stood outside the door, it was Penny Dursley.

"Sorry, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Yi asked knowingly.

"That's it," Penny laughed, "I'm the hostess of No. 4 Privet Drive, Penny Dursley, just noticed the movement here... Are you planning to settle here in the future? "

"It turned out to be Mrs. Dursley. Yes, that's right. I should live here outside of working hours. It seems that we will be neighbors in the future," Zhou Yi said with a smile, "I'm sorry to move the furniture before. Your behavior bothers you, I'm Zhou Yi, just call me Zhou, er... come in and sit down?"

"No, no, you didn't disturb me!" Penny denied repeatedly, her movements seemed exaggerated, and it returned to normal after a few seconds, "You don't have to go in and sit down, you must have just moved here, and many things need time to sort out. ...It's like this, since everyone will be neighbors in the future, it just so happens that my house is also having a party, so I want to invite you to come with me, are you free after two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Zhou Yi pretended to think for a while before answering, "I'm so lucky, my schedule the day after tomorrow is just free, so I can attend this party when I have time."

"That's great! That's it!" Penny said happily, "Mr. Zhou, our family is very much looking forward to your arrival!"

"I'm not very honored to be invited by you, Mrs. Dursley. I'll be there on time at two o'clock the day after tomorrow."

After sending Mrs. Dursley away, Zhou Yi closed the door and his face returned to calm.

It is said that everyone has a mask, and Zhou Yi also has it, and there are still many masks, but just put on the most suitable one.

...

Harry was a little flustered.

For some reason, just now, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Fernon called him in front of him, just when he thought he was going to be taught a lesson for some trivial matter or something that Dudley broke and pushed on him. Dayton, when I lost today's dinner (although it wasn't worth looking forward to in the first place), I saw a smile on Penny's and Finon's faces...it was a reluctance, but it really counted.

wait, smile?

Harry couldn't help but get nervous. To be honest, he didn't have any expectations for Penny and Feinon's sudden change of attitude towards him. There was only one possibility - they had something to do with themselves, but it was difficult to get rid of them through sarcasm. scolding to achieve the goal.

"We're going to invite a big man to visit us tomorrow," Fenon forced a smile on his neckless red face, "I need you to stay in your cupboard honestly, and never let out a smile. A little bit of sound, do you understand?"

"If, I mean if," Petunia followed suit, looking at Harry with a look of disgust in her eyes that she couldn't hide and never wanted to hide, "I can promise you a cake if you agree. Of course, that is under the premise that you must not make any movement at all, and prevent that big man from noticing your existence!"

"But...but..." Harry asked weakly, "if I want to go to the toilet..."

"I'm not negotiating with you! Brat!" Feinon, who couldn't bear it for a long time, roared in a low voice, his face was flushed, and he looked like an Afghan hound with a beard covered with super-power to pay taxes, "If not Those... If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't drive you away, I would have swept you out of the house long ago. In short, if you stabbed you at that time, I will let you know what regret is! Do you understand?"

"...Understood..." Harry was startled and shrank his neck.

"Go get yourself some biscuits or something, and go back to your cupboard!" Fernon ordered. "Penny, get him another jar, the one with the lid!"

At the end, Feinong also warned viciously: "When the time comes, if you dare to make any noise and disturb my affairs, I can guarantee that you will not have a better life!"

"It's not going to be easy." Harry said in his heart, turned his head silently, went straight to the place where the biscuits were stored, and took the whole jar away without hesitation. Anyway, he was scolded. Aren't you sorry for yourself?

...

late at night.

Little Whinging, Privet Drive.

The street lights went out one by one with the tall and thin figure advancing.

The figure came to No. 4, Privet Road, and stopped for a while, as if observing something. After a while, it slowly moved forward, and finally came to No. 5, Privet Road.

The figure walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, but they turned on automatically and the lights came on, as if welcoming the visitor.

The figure paused, stepped in, the light dispelled the darkness, and the appearance of the person illuminating it - flowing silver-white long hair and beard, long aquiline nose, half-moon glasses... It was Dumbledore.

"Welcome to my new room, Headmaster Dumbledore." In the living room, Zhou Yi put down the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Thank you, but I don't need it anymore," Dumbledore walked in, and the door of the room closed automatically behind him. "As you get older, it's even harder to fall asleep when you drink coffee."

"Let's have some chocolates and candies then." Zhou Yi shrugged, and a plate automatically appeared on the table, filled with all kinds of chocolates and candies.

"Is this Muggle food?" Dumbledore sat down on the sofa opposite Zhou Yi, picked up a gold coin-shaped chocolate, and asked curiously.

"Yes, and it's much more delicious than in the wizarding world." Zhou Yi blinked, "If you like, I have a lot more here."

"Well, I like to eat sweets, but it's not good to eat too much..." Dumbledore peeled off the gold foil on it, threw the chocolate into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction, the one under the half-moon glasses The pair of azure blue became sharper and brighter, "So... Mr. Zhou, you should already know why I came here?"

"Of course, Principal, it's not hard to guess," Zhou Yi nodded, then straight to the point, "I want to sell my wand, so I plan to start with Mr. Potter. After all... Mr. Potter's influence, you know."

"...Oh," Dumbledore was visibly stunned, "I didn't expect you to be so direct."

"Because I have a clear conscience, and what I'm going to do won't do any harm to Mr. Potter," Zhou Yi said, "I just need to use Mr. Potter's influence to play an advertising role..."

"Advertising? Is it a Muggle word?" Dumbledore didn't quite understand.

"Yeah, basically...similar to if you suddenly say that a wand from a certain company works well, so other people will think that wand works well, it's like you advertise this wand ." Zhou Yi explained, "I am a wand maker, and my dream is to carry forward the wand I made."

"But... the Ministry of Magic does not allow wizards to influence the lives of Muggles..." Dumbledore frowned slightly. "And Mr Potter cannot leave there..."

"It's very simple, all I use are Muggle methods, and I also have a legal Muggle identity," Zhou Yi smiled, "Although Mr. Potter can't leave that place, at least I can make his life Have a good time.

In the Muggle world, a lawyer's identity is like an Auror in the wizarding world. I only need to find out what happened to Mr. Potter between 'inadvertent', and then the righteous character of being a 'lawyer' will make me The situation was full of anger, which in turn threatened the Dursleys, who were afraid of wizards but had no fear, and I was different, as long as I kept appearing to them as a Muggle, that was enough. "

"I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhou. Ideally, this is a plan that has the best of both worlds, that is, if you tell me in advance...but," said Dumbledore. Staring at Zhou Yi with azure blue eyes, he smiled, "I'm curious about the wand you made."

"It's easy to handle," Zhou Yi took out a wand and handed it to Dumbledore. "This is a wand I made yesterday through experiments."

"...Flawless craftsmanship, it's hard to believe that it came from such a young wandmaker," Dumbledore took the wand, observed it for a while, and looked at Zhou Yi, "I can try it?"

"Of course you can... However, it's better to input less magic power." Zhou Yi urged.

"Okay." Dumbledore nodded, shook his wand slightly, and a burst of flames was instantly released from the wand, towards the ceiling!

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and flicked his wand again. In an instant, a white light emanated from the wand and came first, completely eliminating the flame in mid-air without hurting the ceiling in the slightest!

"Amazing skills!" Zhou Yi clapped his hands, with an unconcealed admiration on his face, "Unimaginable!"

"Just some little tricks," Dumbledore waved his hand humbly, "Mr. Zhou, this wand you made..."

"That's right, I've always been curious about what magic power is, and what role does the magic wand play in this." Zhou Yi explained, "In the end, my conclusion is that magic power is what makes wizards The medium that can release magic is a kind of energy that exists in nature. Some people can absorb it, while others cannot. In this way, the difference between wizards and Muggles is formed.

The magic wand, in this one, plays a role of guiding magic power and concentrating magic power. The magic power in the body can be released from the magic wand by the wizard. In this way, the efficiency and accuracy of magic released by the wizard have been greatly improved. , and the different materials are different according to each person's physique, which is why Mr. Ollivander often said that everyone has a wand that belongs to him. "

"So...you changed." Dumbledore rubbed the wand in his hand.

"Of course, with a small change, most wands can only guide and integrate the magic power input by the wizard, and the wand I made... has the ability to automatically absorb magic power from nature. I have already experienced it, and the power of the magic released has become bigger, isn't it?"

"Yes, this wand doesn't fit me, but it's half as effective as when I used my original wand." Dumbledore suddenly realized.

"That's why I praise you, Headmaster Dumbledore, your control over magic can be described as exquisite, and your reflexes are absolutely top-notch, so you can react quickly and cancel each other out with the same intensity of magic. That flame..." Zhou Yi sighed, "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do much better than this."

The air gradually filled with an aura called Versailles, which was emitted from both of them at the same time, but both of them were indifferent to it.

"I'm old, the future belongs to your young people." Dumbledore said with a smile, making Zhou Yi feel cold.

"This is just a bonus, I'm not just able to make this kind of change," Zhou Yi quickly changed the subject, "I think the wand also needs to have the ability to physically strike."

"Physical strike?" Dumbledore wondered again. He always felt that every word he heard from Zhou Yi understood what it meant, but when he put it together, he was confused.

"I don't know if you have heard of a magic wand, principal..." Zhou Yi smiled mysteriously, "It's about eight feet long?"

Dumbledore: "!!!"

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou, what you said about eight feet is what I understand... is it eight feet in length?" Dumbledore expressed his doubts that he was getting old and misunderstood.

"No no, it's about this length," Zhou Yi didn't know where to find a stick, eight feet... that was more than two hundred and forty centimeters long.

Dumbledore was speechless.

"Of course, this is the length that can only be used in the later stage. If you are a beginner, the stick... oh no, the stick is as long as the eyebrows." Zhou Yi smiled slightly.

You just said the stick, right? ? !

Dumbledore was speechless for a while, and finally analyzed the function of such a long wand from a rational point of view... After a few seconds, he asked directly: "So, Mr. Zhou, since you plan to use the magic wand... There must be a corresponding reason for doing so long?"

"Of course there is!" Zhou Yi was in high spirits, and a lot of knowledge about the "staff" in his mind finally had a place to use, "The staff, the stick, the benevolent in the army... In short, when the little wizard does not have enough magic power , and more is to use fighting methods to solve problems. At this time, a wand that is long enough, thick and hard can provide a lot of advantages... Of course, my envisioned design is that these wands can be reduced and enlarged , it's easy to achieve, just add some special magic and then add materials..."

In the living room late at night, under Zhou Yi's explanation, Dumbledore's eyes went from puzzled, to a little understanding, to completely clear, and finally eager to try.

The butterfly flapped its wings and a huge storm was brewing.

ps: ah ah ah! So panic! I'll be answering soon...
