Since 382 BC, the wands made by the Ollivander family have all been stick-shaped, either long or short, thick or thin, and have never made such a weird-shaped wand.
But Hope is right, blindly being conservative will not make the family prosperous. Look at the past when the Ollivander family dominated the wizarding world. Almost all wizards had a wand made by the Ollivander family. Look at it now. The great staff-making families gradually developed. Not to mention far away, in the wizarding world of Europe, a staff-making family in France surpassed the Ollivander family.
The only thing they can get rid of now is the sign with Ollivander's, which has been making high-quality wands since 382 BC.
Now that he had such a wonderful idea in front of him and sufficient materials, Mateo, who had been thinking about it all night, finally agreed to Hope's request.
And Mateo had a more bold idea. Anyway, they are all customized, so he might as well be more bold and let everyone use their own ideas to make a wand that is unique to them.
Hope exclaimed: "My roommate is a master of staff making!"
These words made Mateo angry for a long time, because in one of his favorite books, a father who cheated on his son also said similar words.
Near noon, Hope packed a bag of beef patties and a few bottles of pumpkin juice from the kitchen and went to the abandoned classroom on the basement floor that was agreed upon. However, he came early and the others hadn't come yet. Looking at the dusty classroom, Hope thought for a moment and used a cleaning spell to clean it up.
After cleaning, Hope put several desks together and put beef patties and pumpkin juice on them.
At this time, Mateo, Caleb and Yulin also arrived one after another.
Looking at the beef patties and pumpkin juice on the table, Yulin asked doubtfully: "Isn't lunch started yet? Have you found the kitchen?"
"Of course, this is no secret to Hufflepuff." Hope said matter-of-factly.
Mateo and Caleb: Oh, they don’t know.
Hope explained: "As long as you ask the Hufflepuff seniors where the kitchen is, he will take you there as long as he knows. This is a small benefit for us Hufflepuffs."
Yulin blinked at Hope and said softly: "Can you take me to see it? I'm very curious about how the kitchen works. After all, he has to be responsible for food for so many people, and he can also teleport it to the hall. On the table."
Hope thought for a while. It seems that Cedric didn't say that he couldn't bring people from other colleges to the kitchen.
"Yes, but you need to know two rules. We can't take the initiative to reveal the location of the kitchen, but if someone asks you, you can choose to take him there. Secondly, we try not to disturb them during meal time, because they are busy at this time. "
Yulin noticed Hope's choice of words and asked: "Them?"
"That's right, them, a bunch of house elves."
"What is a house elf?" Caleb asked doubtfully. In the magical world, he could always meet strange and interesting things.
Before Hope could speak, Yulin explained: "Have you ever been to the bank in Diagon Alley? House elves are just like the goblins there, but house elves have served their masters for generations. They do housework. Food and stuff are great, we have one at home, and they punish themselves if they do something wrong.”
Hope added: "Slaves in a nutshell."
Youlin was not happy anymore, "What do you mean by slaves? They are born like this."
"It is recorded in history books that the races conquered by wizards in ancient wars have received servile training for generations," Hope said.
Caleb, who had received modern education, couldn't accept it, "This is a bit too cruel."
Hope shook his head and said: "You can't say that. If the wizard hadn't won, we might have been slaves. After all, ancient history was quite cruel."
Youlin did not refute. Although she had never read a history book, she knew that she would be the one who would suffer in the end when arguing with Hope. She decided to go to the library to borrow a history book and read it.
Mateo saw that the topic was getting further and further. Today we are here to discuss wands. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's talk about business. Today we are discussing making wands."
Everyone then stopped wanting to continue discussing and became quiet.
Mateo cleared his throat. Said: "Hope persuaded me yesterday. Since we are making a wand, we must make a unique wand of our own. Everyone can add whatever ideas they have."
After saying that, Mateo got everyone a piece of parchment and a quill.
“Everyone draws the wand you want first, and then we’ll figure out how to make it happen!”
After getting the parchment, Yulin and Caleb were in trouble. How could they design a wand? They didn't understand their own wands yet.
Seeing Hope writing furiously, the two of them thought for a while and started drawing.
Hope simplified the magic pistol he made yesterday. He canceled the bullets first. Although it is cool, it is a bit difficult to achieve.
The trigger needs to stay, which is what replaces the spell-casting gesture, but the magic power released needs to be stored somewhere, so a "magazine" is also needed.
Soon everyone's wands were designed.
The wand designed by Yulin is not as unusual as Hope. At first glance, it is an ordinary wand, but Yulin embellished it with many star patterns. Her idea is that the stars can shine when casting spells. , rather than waving a magic wand.
The wand designed by Caleb was mediocre, and those who didn’t know better thought he drew one to resemble his own wand. Caleb said that he couldn’t think of any good ideas, but he felt that his wand was too light, and It's not too hard. He wishes his wand could be heavier and harder, so that when someone is close, he can hit them directly with the wand if he doesn't have time to cast a spell.
Mateo did not paint. He felt that his thinking was limited by the knowledge he had learned, so he simply stopped painting.
Mateo looked at the wands designed by the three people and frowned. It was a bit difficult. Yulin's wand wanted the stars to shine when casting a spell. If the magic was allowed to do such unnecessary things, he felt that the power of the spell would be released. What should I do if it is reduced, and doing such unnecessary things will affect the magic spell and directly cause the magic spell to become invalid.
Caleb wanted the wand to be stronger, but the wand was originally made of wood. It could be achieved if it was wrapped with a layer of metal, but would the metal prevent the magic power from being released and make it impossible to cast spells?
It seems that Hope is reliable. The difficulty lies in the activation device of the trigger. However, Hope designed a magic storage device to simplify this step a lot. Magic storage is not difficult. There are many crystals that can do this.
Thinking about it makes my head spin. After thinking about it for a long time, I will first measure the body data of a few people before talking about it.
Mateo measured several people's arms, palms and other information such as length.
Hope was a little curious. He didn't ask when he faced Mr. Ollivander before, but now he asked: "What is the real use of making these measurements?"
Mateo said while recording: "The main thing is to determine the proportions and the length of the wand that can be used smoothly."
"But don't the proportions change when you grow up?"
"It's okay, you will get used to it by then."
Hope: O_o?
