A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 76: New Wand
"Boom boom boom!"
Professor McGonagall pushed open the door and saw Harry and Ron wrapped up tightly.
She ushered them in, and Harry and Ron sat down next to the fireplace chairs.
"Potter, Weasley, what can you do?" Professor McGonagall asked.
Ron took out a hideous wand from his robe. It was broken in two in the middle and connected only by a unicorn tail hair in the middle.
Ron said stiffly: "Professor McGonagall, I want to ask you for leave to buy a new wand."
"Oh?" Professor McGonagall looked down at the broken ash wand, her hair was combed meticulously, "Weasley, you should have changed a new wand a long time ago, what do you say? There are frequent accidents in the classroom.”
Ron bowed his head and said nothing.
Harry chimed in and said, "Professor, we may need to use your fireplace and go to Diagon Alley."
Professor McGonagall looked up at them, "Of course it's all right." She waved her wand, and a silver cat jumped out from the tip of the wand, with the same pattern around its eyes as Professor McGonagall's glasses.
"Weasley, come to my office," she said.
The silver cat jumped out of the window and quickly disappeared from Harry and Ron's sight.
While Harry was still staring at the window, Ron stammered, "Professor McGonagall, we can go by ourselves..." Professor McGonagall's stern gaze answered him.
"Don't be silly, I won't let two second-year wizards go to Diagon Alley alone." The transfiguration professor said so.
Ron had a bitter face. Although Professor McGonagall didn't mention the name, he knew that she couldn't be twins after thinking about it with his not very bright head.
Harry couldn't help but give Ron a sympathetic look. The relationship between the two brothers is still frozen.
"Professor, what was that magic just now?" He changed the subject.
"The Patronus Charm, Potter, when you are in your senior year, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with this magic."
After waiting quietly for a while, the figure of Percy Weasley appeared in the office.
Seeing his younger brother, he was obviously taken aback, "Professor McGonagall, did Ron make any mistakes?"
"No, Percy." Professor McGonagall said, "Ron is going to Diagon Alley to buy a new wand. I need a senior student to follow. No one is more suitable than you."
The expression on Percy's face was even more surprised. He looked at Ron and couldn't help but ask him, "Where did you get the money?"
"None of your business!" said Ron angrily.
"I'm your brother! I warn you, if you dare to do anything—"
"Percy!" Harry interjected, "Professor Haip gave it." He turned to Professor McGonagall and said vaguely to her, "In recognition of the feat that night."
Professor McGonagall showed an expression of enlightenment, but Percy Weasley was even more confused.
"Ron Weasley, I'm proud of you. So are you, Potter," she said with rare emotion.
Percy was about to ask something, but Professor McGonagall said, "Go, come back early."
So the three stood in the fireplace, and their figures disappeared in a cloud of green flames.
After half an hour, the three came back. Ron held a fourteen-inch wand carefully in his hand, with a happy expression on his face.
With Percy's arm on his shoulders, things seemed to improve.
When they walked out of the office, Ron was still praising his new wand, "Willow wood body, unicorn tail hair core, it's a perfect combination! Harry, look at its lines... ..."
Back in the common room, Harry was pulled aside by Percy, who whispered, "Harry, can you tell me what you guys did?"
On the way, Ron couldn't help but let slip that he, Harry and Hermione had won the school's special contribution award together, but when Percy pressed him, the two kept their mouths shut.
Harry said vaguely: "You will find out when the new semester starts, he will definitely surprise you."
On the other hand, Ron couldn't help showing off his new wand to the twins, so he was dragged by the twins to play a duel game.
Fred said with a smile: "Ron, you need to get familiar with the new wand as soon as possible."
"Yes, that's right. We'd like to help you." George patted him on the shoulder.
Hearing the twins' proposal, Harry's heart was moved instantly. He saw a few simple spells from the Christmas gift "Duel Book" given by Professor Haip.
He was very eager to try the effect.
"Come on, Ron," he said.
But Percy wasn't interested, so Harry, Ron, and the twins walked out of the castle into a clearing by the Black Lake.
The four of them take turns as opponents, casting spells on each other.
After changing to a new wand, Ron's spellcasting was indeed much smoother, but he was still at the bottom of the game.
He was knocked down three times in a row.
And Harry first defeated Ron, and then narrowly defeated George, but when he was attacking Fred, he tripped and was fixed in place by a petrification spell.
Ron grinned happily: "So, in the first year, Hermione cast a spell on Neville, that's how it felt?" He kept poking Harry with his fingers.
After the spell was released, Harry immediately counterattacked—he grabbed a large cloud of snow from the ground and threw it on Ron~IndoMTL.com~So under the force majeure, the duel game was changed to During the snowball fight, a few people rolled in the snow happily.
After completing a successful sneak attack with his agility, Harry was surrounded by the twins. He ran for a certain distance in a panic until he saw the figure of Professor Haip.
This is a pretty weird picture.
Outside the cold castle, Professor Haipu was lying on a rocking chair, reading a book leisurely.
The rocking chair made a "creaking" sound and swayed back and forth.
Above his head is a blue flame that stretches freely like a ribbon.
"Hello, Professor Haip." Harry greeted.
Felix closed the book and sat up from the rocking chair, with a happy expression on his face: "Hello, Potter."
At this time, Harry noticed that the book that Professor Haip read turned out to be "Selected Collection of World Jokes", which was not like a book in the wizarding world.
"Harry—"
"Don't run!"
Ron and the twins also caught up, and they also saw Professor Haipu.
"Are you having a snowball fight?" Felix asked.
"We are practicing dueling, and now it is halftime." Fred said, "Professor, can you guide us? Your performance in the dueling club is amazing!"
"Ah, not today. I have decided not to think about anything about magic today." Felix blinked, "But don't worry, I will restart the dueling course after school starts."
"By the way," Felix looked around, "Why didn't you see Granger? Isn't she with you?"
"Um, Professor," Harry stammered, "Hermione, she's sick."
