Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 283 The Secret of the Magic Wand

Tangning and Hermione remained silent while Professor McGonagall was thinking about whether there should be a school rule prohibiting puppy love at Hogwarts.

In any case, Tang Ning's goal of combating the impetuous arrogance of Ilvermorny students was accomplished very well. As for the subsequent work of appeasing and motivating students, it had nothing to do with him.

From Downing's observations over the past two days, Ilvermorny has more students than Hogwarts, but the average level is lower.The competition between their houses isn't as fierce as Hogwarts, and it's hard to tell whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Tangning didn't plan to study it in depth. This was not an issue that he needed to consider.He waited for Butt to fulfill his promise.

……

Tangning didn't expect that it would be Butt himself who took Tangning and Hermione onto the carriage drawn by Pegasus horses that they had ridden on the way up the mountain.

"The wand-making site in Ilvermorny is not in the school," he explained.

"Before arriving at your destination, let me first give you some knowledge about wand making..."

"Making wands requires sufficient talent. In the hundreds of years of history in North America, there have been many famous wand makers. But the wands they made are all highly similar."

"Thiago Quintana, I'm sure you've never heard of him, was one of the four most famous wandmakers in North America in the early [-]th century. Each of his wands contained an Arkansas wand. The translucent dorsal spines of the White River Monster.

Speaking of which, some people were initially worried that the White River Monster would be overfished, but it was later confirmed that only Quintana knew how to trap the White River Monster.He kept this secret until his death, and after that, wands using White River Monster spines as cores were discontinued. "

"Even compared to these wand-making luminaries, Iseult Thayer was a genius - a compliment well deserved, and not least because she was my ancestor's adoptive mother... She had never touched a wand before trying it. Although she has no knowledge of this kind, she can always combine different stick cores and stick bodies with the appropriate weight, angle, position... as if she is born with it."

"At first, she didn't understand what her abilities meant... Later she understood that the wand became Ilvermorny's greatest asset."

At this point, Bute stopped, as if thinking about Isolt Thayer.

"She is such a great person!" Hermione exclaimed.

Tangning also nodded in agreement.

"It seems we agree!" Butt said with a smile. "Unfortunately, future generations have not been able to inherit her outstanding talent. Now, we often have to rely on external help. This is what you want to see... Before you come, Albus Dumbledore assured me that both of you could keep the secret, and I trust Albus."

"I promise..." Tangning said. It was difficult to win people's trust with verbal promises, but he was only willing to go as far as this.He had read about the magic of oaths in books. The most famous and effective one was the Unbreakable Oath, which was a very serious spell and the price for breaking the oath was life.

Hermione also solemnly promised to keep the secret secret.

"Don't be so nervous," Butt patted the car, "We went there in a carriage, and you don't know the road... Of course, it's best not to say a word to anyone else."

The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit serious. How long did Butt bring up another topic - "How much do you know about the wand in your hand? There is a wonderful balance in the combination of the wand core and the wood..."

Tangning looked at his wand, as if it was an indispensable part of his body.He remembered Ollivander's comments when he helped him test the wand last year. The Dragon's Heartstring was powerful and made it easier for its owner to learn spells, but it was also easier to be loyal to a stronger person... But Tangning's hard mahogany wand body seemed to have been modified. Dragon Heartstrings Side Effects.

Hermione's wand was ten and three-quarters inches long. It was made of grapevine wood. The core of the wand was the same as Tangning's. It was the heart string of a fire dragon. To put it bluntly, it was the dragon's heart nerve.

"Hermione and I both bought our wands from Mr. Ollivander. Before choosing a wand, Mr. Ollivander would always emphasize that the wand chooses the wizard..." Tangning said.

"Does the wand choose the wizard, or does the wizard choose the wand?" Butt pondered for a long time.

"Who knows?"

Tangning:......

I was expecting Butt to give me the answer!

"The only thing that is certain is that the wizard and the wand are in perfect harmony with each other to bring out the greatest power of both parties... But the question is, who knows if the next wand will be more in tune with itself?"

Butt's words suddenly reminded Tangning of a philosophical question - the biggest ear of wheat. The impression seemed to come from a primary school text about picking the biggest ear of wheat in a wheat field without looking back.The pursuit should be the biggest, but what is in hand is the most real.

“We have been studying wands for many years, and what we have found is that successful wands are almost sentient, and although they cannot think or communicate like humans, they can still perform certain behaviors according to their own wishes.

The most typical ones, such as refusing to attack the owner... The most important thing is that when a new wand communicates with the wizard owner to communicate magical power, the process of running-in between the wand and the wizard begins.The wizard and wand will therefore be more in tune with each other, and a wand with this ability will greatly speed up this process.

To put it figuratively - the wand learns from the wizard, and the wizard learns from the wand.

In reality, only a small number of wands are born with this ability. The remaining wands, as long as they can be used to cast spells, can also have this ability after they have channeled enough magical power...but the time required Each is different.

So far, we have only put forward an unproven conjecture: the closer the wizard and the wand are, the shorter the time required... I think Mr. Ollivander may have understood this with his family's more than 2000 years of wand-making experience. .That’s why he emphasizes that the wand chooses the wizard..."

As if he heard the resentment in Tangning's heart, Bute explained in a long paragraph how he believed the wand selected the wizard.

"Mr. Butt, how do you know that the wand has this kind of perception?" Hermione asked curiously.

Tangning stroked the body of the wand in his hand. According to Butt, his wand may have had this ability a few years ago... Based on Ollivander's point of view, it might have been developed when he faced Voldemort in the first grade. Variety.

Feeling something in her heart, Tangning suddenly noticed a soft shimmer emitting from the tip of the wand, and a soft breeze slowly brushed her cheek...

It was a familiar scene, and Tang Ning thought of her first meeting with her wand.

When he came back to his senses, Butt was pointing his wand and explaining to Hermione: "That's how you judge!"
