Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 350: Black tea&cookies&old magic wand

() "Professor, is your place... much cleaner than before?"

In the principal's office, Maca, who had bid farewell to Hermione, immediately noticed the difference as soon as he entered the door.

"In fact, it used to be very clean, but the piled things were too messy. Recently I sorted it out..." Dumbledore stood up from behind his desk with a smile, and walked up to greet him.

"At least the sorting hat must be clean," Maca picked up the top hat on the shelf. "I told it during the sorting ceremony-it's time to take a shower!"

"Hey? Little Badger, don't turn me around with your paws, I am a new hat now!" The Sorting Hat turned around immediately and yelled.

"Is the new hat still patched?" Maca rolled his eyes and asked.

Ke, the courtyard hat was quite unconvinced, and once again blocked Maca's hand with the brim of the hat, and straightened the tip of the hat with pride.

"This is fashion! Fashion understand? Don't talk if you don't understand!"

"Yes, you are the most fashionable..."

Maca put him back on the shelf in a dumbfounded manner, then turned his head in a whisper in the sorting hat, only to see Dumbledore looking at them with a smile.

"Professor, what are you going to give me?" he asked curiously.

"Well, don't worry about that..." Dumbledore greeted him, "Would you like to sit down with a cup of tea? Soak up the sun and relax?"

"Oh—" Maca thought for a while, "Well...I mean, why not?"

The two sat face-to-face at the small round table vacated by the window. Dumbledore drew his wand and pointed to the table top. Two teacups with saucers and a steaming teapot appeared immediately above.

And as he tapped again, a plate of jelly cookies appeared.

"Try it! Honey Duke's new product-Wishing Cookies."

Dumbledore said, he took the lead in picking a piece, then he pointed his mouth at the jelly-filled depression in the middle of the cookie, and said roundly, "Lemon!"

The red jelly immediately turned yellow before the voice was over.

"Look! That's it..." He showed Maca as if offering a treasure, then opened his mouth and took a bite. "The advertising paper says that you can make any wish! But I tried it after dinner yesterday.' "The smell of giant nasal mucus" later discovered that the smell does not seem to resemble..."

"'The smell of giant nasal mucus'?" Maca grinned, "Next time you will go to the boys' bathroom in the basement with a snack, it will look alike without wishing..."

"Really?" Dumbledore said curiously, "I haven't been there in a while... You know, Hogwarts Castle is really big!"

"The bathroom is also blocked--it was not myrtle, it is really blocked!" Maca said, "but basically no one goes there."

As he said, he picked a cookie and pointed his mouth at the depression like Dumbledore.

"Um...moonlight chrysanthemum honey?" Maca said tentatively.

However, the jelly on the cookie didn't change at all. It was still the default red color—it was probably strawberry flavor.

"This can't work, it's too demanding!" Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand.

Maca shrugged, and compromised: "It's creamy pudding."

The old and the young sat opposite each other, and after thinking about this cookie for a while, did they turn their attention to other topics.

"I heard about the potion from Severus recently. How is Kingsley?" Dumbledore asked like a chatter after drinking lipstick tea.

"Oh, the antidote has been researched out. I just gave Kingsley yesterday... His symptoms have deepened. It seems that he needs to take a few more medicines." Maca replied, " But the danger should be gone."

"That's good..." Dumbledore nodded clearly.

"Then...Professor, I just heard from Hermione that Professor Trelawney made a new prediction." This time, Maca asked, "What do you think of that prediction?"

"Don't worry too much. Although it doesn't look good on the surface, it shouldn't be a big problem." Dumbledore said casually, "As for the details, you can figure it out by yourself..."

"Oh—really?" Maca said hesitantly.

"Don't worry! Just do it as you want--" Dumbledore said lightly, "You can be yours now, and I can't help you... Maybe I have to ask you to help me. Be busy!"

""Request" or something, don't say that..." Maca immediately shook his head, "I need to do anything, just say it!"

"Of course, if there is anything you can help, I will definitely say it." Dumbledore said, looking at Maca quite meaningfully.

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Maca also murmured in her heart. Although it was not a burden, he knew that Dumbledore would not aimlessly.

In the future, or soon, Dumbledore will speak to him. It's just that Maca doesn't know what "requests" he will say again.

Following Dumbledore’s words, the two of them drank fragrant black tea while lazily basking in the sun. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows the side of the neck, which also brings a touch of warmth.

For a while, Maca has always longed for such a comfortable life; but now, he only feels that it is so leisurely, which is a bit too extravagant.

"Professor, what is going on when I call me this time, should I tell you?" Maca couldn't help but ask again, "When the current situation is resolved, we will have many opportunities to have tea and chat together. Up."

Dumbledore retracted his gaze from the window and smiled and said: "Well, since you are in such a hurry, let's talk about today's business..."

"Well... it's a'business', but it's actually a trivial matter..."

While speaking, he picked up the wand at hand fairly casually, turned the handle of the wand and handed it in front of Maca.

"Last time I heard Garrick say...he said you seem to be able to use any wand?" Dumbledore said curiously, "Why... try this too?"

"Uh... are you talking about Mr. Garrick Ollivander from the Wand Shop?" Maca was stunned, but did not immediately reach out, "Professor, are you asking me to try the old wand?"

"Huh? Do you know it too?" Dumbledore nodded indifferently, "Yes! Try it...see if it is better or you are better?"

"This—"

Maca would really like to take it over and study it, but the origin of the wand in Dumbledore's hand is really extraordinary, and its characteristics are quite distinct, he really didn't dare to reach out and get it rashly.

"Pick it up and look at it," Dumbledore said. "You should know that the phrase'the magic wand chooses the wizard' has always been the truth that Garrick believes in. And your presence has always troubled him. !"

As Dumbledore said, the transformation of the wand began when Garrick Ollivander officially took over the family's wand shop.

Before that, wizards had to order magic wands to purchase.

They will bring a variety of cores to the wand shop by themselves, and use some magical materials passed down by their ancestors, family beliefs, or they feel suitable as the cores.

It was Garrick Ollivander who put forward the concept of "the magic wand chooses the wizard" and thus led the trend of an era.

Of course, he actually discovered this concept from an ancient book.

But in fact, Maca himself doesn't believe in such things as "the magic wand chooses the wizard". This is not only related to his own situation, but the main reason is that the wand is a tool created for ease of casting spells.

Maca admits that Ollivander's actions back then were correct.

After all, the knowledge of magic wands is too broad, and it is difficult to get started, and in-depth research is more time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the inheritance of knowledge is fragmented, so that not to mention choosing a magic wand, even making a magic wand is very difficult.

So, using a large number of magic wands to match the wizard is indeed much better than customizing the wizard with the core material.

If you can do it right, it doesn’t mean that Ollivander’s concept is also correct.

According to the ancient books in the Royna Chamber of Secrets, at the time, wizards with sufficient knowledge made their own wands.

As the goblins who are good at creating magic items insist—the ownership of magic items should always be kept in the hands of the creator.

It’s just that until now, not only has the inheritance of wizards become thinner, but the persistence of the fairies has also changed.

Maca told Dumbledore what he thought, which did arouse some of Dumbledore's interest.

"...To be honest, I'm not very familiar with magic wands, but..." Dumbledore said with interest, "Do you make your own wands? It sounds really good..."

"The weird wand you used, you made it yourself—the spinal cord of the dementor?"

"Yes!" Maca said, "Unfortunately, I lost it recently..."

"Isn't that just right?" Dumbledore smiled~IndoMTL.com~ again handed the wand over, "This was originally for you."

"But, why all of a sudden--" Maca said in a puzzled way.

"You need it more than I do, don't you?" Dumbledore said naturally, "You are the main person facing danger now... and I, as long as I take responsibility and guard Hogwarts well!"

As he said this, Dumbledore appeared unusually brisk.

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you! It was you who allowed me to let go of my baggage and embark on a more ‘selfish’ magical journey."

Maca couldn't help but feel touched-this old wizard who dedicated most of his life to the magical world seemed to finally come out of the self-constraint called "ideal".

"Uh..." Macka paused, slightly embarrassed, "Although it is true...but..."

After a little hesitation, Maca still did not pick up the old wand, but stretched his hand to his waist...
