Allen nodded and took out a self-extending measuring tape from his bag. This measuring tape was what Allen had asked Benny to fly home to find Mrs. Harris last night.
Although Mrs. Harris did not understand which course in Hogwarts would require a measuring tape, she still helped her son by wrapping up the measuring tape she usually used and asking Benny to bring it back to Allen.
"Raise your arm." Allen patted Ron's arm. He knew that Ron was accustomed to using a wand with his right hand.
Ron had never bought a wand from a wand shop. His previous wand was his brother Charlie's old wand. Therefore, he was very cooperative and curiously watched as the measuring tape automatically measured his body. From his shoulder to his fingertips, from his wrist to his elbow, from his shoulder to the floor, from his knee to his armpit, and finally the measuring tape flew to the top of Ron's head to measure his head circumference.
Allen compared it to Jeb's notes and kept calculating the corresponding number in his mind. Considering Ron's future growth, Allen was satisfied with the length of "fourteen inches".
Then, Alan took out the willow branch that he was looking after from the bag that he carried with him, which was enchanted with the Traceless Stretching Spell. After measuring it with a tape measure, he cut down the branch that was the most flexible and suitable for making a wand, which was fourteen inches long.
Allen picked up the cut branch and carefully examined it. After confirming that there were no seedlings or branches on the branch, he handed the branch to Ron with satisfaction.
"You made a wand just like that? Isn't that too casual? "Ron widened his eyes in surprise and waved the branch. Of course, nothing happened!
"How is that possible!" Allen smiled and took out a piece of brown sandpaper and handed it to Ron. "Here, rub this branch until it's very smooth."
After saying that, Allen leisurely took out a book, leaned against a big pumpkin, and read it with relish.
Harry and Hermione watched with interest and pointed out to Ron as he rubbed the branch.
"Here, here, the color here is different from the one next to it."
Looking at Hermione's expression, she wished she could take his place. She felt that being able to make a wand for herself was simply too interesting!
Harry sat beside Allen and curiously looked at the title of the book. "The Magical Quidditch Ball!" Harry could not help but read out the book's name. "I've read this book before. Hermione lent it to me from the library!"
"This book is one of the most popular books in the library. Mrs. Pins told me that I must cherish this book because it is too pitiful. Every day, it has to be carelessly flipped, dripped saliva on it, and received abuse by everyone! It's not easy for Hermione to borrow this book from Mrs. Pins! "Alan raised the book and smiled gently.
Although Harry did not look for Nicole, he only looked for Nicole and her homework. He rarely went to the library, but he agreed with Allen's words. Hermione was always liked by the teachers, with the exception of Professor Snape! However, didn't Allen's words imply that he was also very powerful? Thinking about it carefully, that was indeed the case. This was a little Magus that even Snape had praised!
Seeing Allen's notes on the book, Harry exclaimed in surprise, "You can actually scribble on a book?"
Hearing that, Hermione also came over to take a look, looking at Allen in disbelief. "Allen, how did you do it? Madame Pins had cast an extraordinary spell on all the books in the library! Previously, when Harry and Ron scribbled on 'Where Are Magical Animals?', the next second, the book would circle around their heads and hit them hard. "
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be exposed by Hermione in front of Allen, Harry was also very curious to know the answer. Even Ron's speed of rubbing his wand had slowed down!
"This only requires a simple little spell — Camouflage Spell. It deceives the detection spell on the book, making it unable to discover anything. However, I usually erase my notes after I finish reading the book. " Taking notes while reading was a habit of Allen, not to mention that he had a photographic memory of the contents of the book.
Harry and Hermione found it a bit difficult to understand Allen's thinking, but this didn't prevent them from admiring Allen even more.
"Alright, Ron, let me see the branch." Allen saw that Ron's speed of rubbing was getting slower and slower, and knew that he was tired.
Ron was relieved and handed the wand that he had been carefully rubbing for a long time to Allen. Allen also took the sandpaper and rubbed it carefully and gently on the wand for a while, and the willow branch became smooth. Allen looked very relaxed, in sharp contrast to Ron's caution.
Ron couldn't help but curse: Since Allen could do it easily, why did he have to polish it for so long?
As if seeing through Ron's thoughts, Allen said indifferently, "The reason why I let you polish it yourself is to deepen the connection between you and the wand and let you understand that it's not easy to come by and that you have to learn to cherish it."
Ron's ears turned as red as his hair. Harry, who was at the side, couldn't help but hide his wand, which was covered with fingerprints, in his sleeve.
"Is that all?" Hermione was very skeptical.
"Of course not! We also need to repeatedly soak the willow branch in vegetable oil, dry it in the shade, and then add the wand core to hold a holy ceremony. We have only completed a small step, and it will take a long time to complete it! "Allen told Hermione with great interest.
Although Harry and Ron didn't understand what Allen meant, they felt that it was amazing!
Hermione nodded repeatedly and asked Allen if she could participate in the process of making the wand. Allen nodded generously and agreed. Although Ron didn't understand what Allen was talking about, he was looking forward to the wand he was about to use and must participate in the whole process. Allen agreed generously.
"We can soak the wand wood first." Allen took out the olive oil and carefully smeared it all over the willow branch. "After the main body is wet, then dry it in the shade. Repeat several times and this step is completed. This can strengthen the hardness of the surface of the wand, forming a material that is hard on the outside and soft on the inside. And it has a certain degree of waterproof and moisture-proof ability. "
Seeing Hermione's serious look, Allen was in a good mood and inadvertently revealed his bad habit of being a teacher. But Hermione didn't mind and listened very seriously.
