“Alright, alright,” Ollivander muttered.
“I could sell you a hundred wands of the sa material, but even if each wand has to be made of laurel wood and dragon heartstrings and all 14 inches in size, the qualities of each wand would not be exactly the sa.”
“Also, you won’t be able to get that much in a mont. Making a wand is not as simple as stuffing the core of the wand into a stick, and regarding the dragon string, I have to buy a batch of it from Romania.”
Sherlock wasn’t in a rush and wasn’t looking for the ultimate perfection of craftsmanship.
He asked, “How many wands can you have ready by September?”
Ollivander gave him a number, “About fifty.”
“At that ti, I will co and take away 50 first. I will co to pick up the remaining fifty at the end of October. How much deposit do I need to leave to you?”
“You can give a deposit of three hundred Galleons first.”
Sherlock poured out three hundred Galleons from the purse, and after making a deal with Ollivander, he left the wand shop. Thanks to Snape’s bargain to buy the Basilisk, Sherlock has a lot of money. Even if he spends 900 Galleons to buy a hundred wands, it will not affect his money situation at all.
He wandered around Diagon Alley for a while, picked out a birthday present for Harry, and returned to his ho. The Daily Prophet reported Sirius Black’s escape from Azkaban while Sherlock and Harry were still traveling.
Even the Muggle governnt has been notified about it. The TV portrays him as a murderer with an ard weapon in his hand, so people must call the police as soon as they find him. Sherlock was impressed by the third part of the original book, knowing that the story was about to take a dark turn.
Sherlock recalled only that he had turned into an animal for a long ti, and he didn’t know whether this was accurate or not. He simply didn’t think about how things developed and began to study the spell he had been studying since this holiday, the Patronus Charm.
Dentors will co to Hogwarts this year, and it’s inevitable. Now that soone has discovered the purpose of Black escaping from prison, which is to find Harry and kill him.
Azkaban guards would definitely waiting for him, coming to the castle, closely guarding and monitoring Harry at the sa ti. In Sherlock’s mind, the ti the Dentors were stationed at Hogwarts was not a good one. If sothing happens, the Patronus Charm is undoubtedly the best way to deal with these creatures.
Sherlock sat in the study room, looking at his new wand from Ollivander. The laurel wood and dragon string wand are much longer than the one before the original Sherlock, and they are a lot easier to use.
Sherlock waved his wand and used Transfiguration on a teacup, constantly turning it into various cups and finally turning it back again. After getting acquainted with the feel, he was ready to use the first advanced spell of his new wand.
“Expecto Patronum.”
Silver light ca out of Sherlock’s wand and spread to every corner of the study room. He could feel that his Patronus was trying to form its shape, but in the end, it was like sothing was missing, and it could only float around as silver strands of mist.
He aborted the spell. Although it was still unsuccessful, Sherlock could clearly feel that this wand was better than the previous one when he used the Patronus Charm.
In the end, he didn’t succeed. His happy emotions didn’t accumulate much, and he needed to accumulate more. Sherlock sat in the chair and closed his eyes.
He tried his best to recall the joy in his past life when he found out his college entrance examination scores and received a college admission letter.
After entering the wizarding world, he was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts for a year. He felt that his students’ exams were enough to et the standards, and during sumr vacation, he felt joy in having a vacation in France.
Positive emotions accumulated in Sherlock’s heart. He waved the wand in his hand and said the spell again.
“Expecto Patronum.”
The wand flickered again. But this ti, those strands did not spread out but sprayed from the tip of Sherlock’s wand, continuously forming sothing. Sherlock looked at the silver strands that gathered together with anticipation, and he could feel that his spell must have been successfully cast this ti.
But what form will it take?
A bird of silver strands fluttered down the ceiling, hovering over Sherlock’s head for a mont, and landed on his shoulder.
Sherlock looked at his Patronus carefully. At first glance, he thought it was a pigeon. But after he studied for a long ti, he was sure that it was a crow. Because it is composed of silver light, so people may not be able to recognize its features.
Sherlock played it with his hands, and the Patronus standing on his shoulder was quite satisfied. After the Patronus is summoned, it can not only be used to deal with Dentors but also to send a ssage. Flying birds like crows will undoubtedly be more effective for this.
As for the aning of the animal itself, perhaps in so places or a certain period of ti, crows are seen as sothing as the unknown.
However, for the British people, crows or ravens have always been considered a sign of sothing. The British governnt still keeps a large number of crows in the Tower of London. It is said that as long as these crows do not leave the Tower, the country will not suffer bad luck.
The British governnt tasked soone with taking care of them to prevent them from flying away, so the country would always be protected or lucky.
The bird with a special aning is his Patronus, and Sherlock is satisfied. After appreciating the crow again, Sherlock canceled the spell and began to try to master it with multiple wands. It takes ti for Ollivander to make his wands, so for now, he only has two wands to experint with.
Power spread out from Sherlock’s body; everything around him floated gently around him and returned to its original position. The two wands were floating in midair.
Sherlock controlled them, aid at the two blank parchnts on the table, and cast a Severing Charm. The next mont, the two pieces of parchnt shattered into countless small pieces of paper. There are still so subtle differences in the magic on the wands.
Sherlock got a new one today, and the effect of the Severing Charm on the parchnt was better than that of the previous wand. The original Sherlock’s wand is not suitable for Sherlock, and the laurel wand is the most suitable one for him.
Afterward, Sherlock held his wand again and used a Severing Charm on the parchnt. The result is the sa as the effect of the Full Body Bind Curse in the fight against the goblin before. The spell released by using the wands was weakened by between four and five tis compared to casting it normally.
This laid a foundation for Sherlock to form his own wand formation and how to cast it at the sa ti better. However, if he wants to use this tactic, he can only use it in certain situations.
Sherlock still needs to conduct an important experint, which is how to use and control it more effectively. If he had prepared the wands and recklessly shot the enemy with indiscriminate attacks while they ca directly to him with a spell, then it would have been a waste.
Sherlock levitated his old wand, used the new wand, and cast the Freezing Charm on the old wand. The spell was released, but the old wand remained floating in the air without any change.
Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief and got up from his chair. This spell stops an item’s motion, and it is usually used frequently in daily life.
Its advanced form is an unconventional version of it. Historically, only in large-scale wizarding wars has the application of this spell been used, and multiple people can join forces to improve its effect again. However, the gestures of the spell and the way of casting it are completely different.
Sherlock turned his wand down, pointed it at the ground, and recited another spell to remove its effect. A red light imdiately spread from the tip of his wand and spread upward along the ground. The red light was bright and shone in the study room.
