The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Tom's idea is by no means whimsical. He just wanted to fix the runes and the like on some kind of carrier to achieve solidification magic. This is not a groundbreaking work. On the contrary, solidification magic has been widely used in the magic world.

Those with higher technical requirements include flying broomsticks. High-end brooms mostly contain solidification magic. Products with less technical requirements are wizard robes. Many wizard robes have self-cleaning magic embedded in them, and some can also ensure warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

Tom didn't know the principles of these solidification magics, but he also came up with his own ideas.

Ollivander walked to the back room and used a levitating spell to take out a slender package from the corner of the room. Tom had a vague idea, but wasn't sure until Mr. Ollivander opened the package.

Inside the package turned out to be a metal staff that was two fingers thick and two meters long.

Tom was dumbfounded: This staff is so close that it doesn't even need to use magic to knock down the enemy, right?

Ollivander looked at the staff and sighed, "I was young and ignorant at the time, and always wanted to create a path for myself, so I made this thing according to the staff in ancient legends. Then I thought: Why is the staff It had to be made of wood, so I used metal..."

Seeing Tom's dumbfounded look, Mr. Ollivander blushed in a rare old face, as if a middle-aged man had been discovered by his family's children that his QQ screen name was the same as the space he used when he was young. Sometimes it is torture to explain to children what "loneliness in the bones" means.

Ollivander coughed twice, "Basically every wand maker has his or her whims."

He picked up the staff with great effort and propped it up on the ground. "This staff is too heavy, so you can't perform magic spells with it, so ordinary wizards can't use it to cast spells. I thought about it later." For a moment, it is more suitable for wizards who can cast spells without a wand - such as Mr. Dumbledore."

Tom imagined Dumbledore waving this staff, and couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache.

"How can you still hold such a staff when you know how to cast spells without a staff!"

The image of this staff gradually began to transform into that of a solar flashlight.

Mr. Ollivander didn't say anything, but just poked the staff on the ground, and a dazzling light appeared on the top of the staff.

"It's really too tasteless..."

Ollivander also said that the wand he made out of enthusiasm was really weird: it was not very practical as a wand. However, Tom learned from Ollivander that the metal used to make this wand was of considerable origin. It was a product of alchemy and could store a certain amount of magic power.

Tom thought the metal looked interesting, so he asked Mr. Ollivander for some.

Mr. Ollivander generously gave all the metal left over from when he made the wand to Tom.

[Obtain 3 kilograms of magic silver - pure silver refined by an alchemist, which can store a certain amount of magic power]

"Have you never thought about making the wand smaller?" Tom thought that if the wand was smaller and lighter, it might still be usable.

Mr. Ollivander smiled coquettishly: "I have done this before, but the effect is not as good as a wooden wand..."

Tom was speechless and put away the scraps. When he returned to the dormitory at night, he picked out a piece of magic silver, used a carving knife and a chisel to cut the metal piece into the size of a coin little by little, smoothed and polished it. Fortunately for Tom, the metal was not very hard and could be carved with a carving knife.

Tom was playing with a magic silver coin the size of a gold galleon in his hand. After thinking for a while, he picked a few runes and slowly engraved them on it.

"Rune of Beginning, Invocation, Stability, Transmission, Levitation, Light - End."

These runes are the crystallization of the experience of alchemists and wand makers of past generations. They discovered that as long as magic power runs through these tracks, specific effects can be achieved. Thanks to them, Tom can conduct his own research directly on the shoulders of those who came before him.

By the time he finished carving all seven runes in a specific formation, it was already late at night. Tom turned off the lights in the dormitory, and the room was dark.

Tom poured a magic power into his magic silver coin, and then the coin glowed faintly. Tom let go of his hand and the coin floated in mid-air. Even if Tom cut off the supply of magic power, it would still be there. Glowing quietly.

"It's done!"

Tom's whole night's work was actually to make a floating night light. But what drives this lamp is magic, magic. What's more, Tom disconnected the magic supply and it still worked fine for five minutes.

A useless looking toy. If he used magic spells, it would only take Tom five seconds to achieve the same effect - floating and glowing, which is not difficult, but it took two hours to carve this coin.

But Tom was still satisfied.

When Tom came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore the next day, the bookstore was closed. The manager of the bookstore, Mr. Lawrence, stood outside the store. In front of him were four wizards, three men and one woman, and a senior employee and three newbies. The four wizards all wore a badge with the letter M engraved on the front of their robes - the symbol of the Ministry of Magic.

Seeing Tom coming over, Mr. Lawrence smiled at Tom and said, "We are not open today. I will give you a day off."

This was exactly what Tom wanted, but he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood aside and watched what happened.

Seeing Lawrence finish speaking, the short-haired wizard smiled and said, "It will delay your business."

"No, please cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's inspection!" With that said, Mr. Lawrence opened the store door and wanted to invite several Ministry of Magic investigators in.

The short-haired wizard walked in carelessly and looked at the neatly stacked books on the bookshelf. He did not rush to start searching, but instead chatted with Mr. Lawrence.

"How's business?"

"It's tepid. It won't get busy until two days later."

"You don't have any dark magic items in your shop, do you?"

"Look what you said, when I open a bookstore, can I sell dark magic items? Those who sell prohibited items are all over there." Mr. Lawrence pointed in the direction of Knockturn Alley.

The short-haired wizard didn't answer. Of course he knew that Knockturn Alley had been selling illegal and even illegal things. He also knew that Diagon Alley was full of serious shops. That’s why he came to Diagon Alley through connections! As for Knockturn Alley, it is naturally left to the stupid people in the ministry to investigate, such as Arthur Weasley...

"If we find you...turn around twice!" He finally gave the order. The team members took out a few strange-shaped sticks and began to explore.

"Captain, there is a fluctuation!" Unexpectedly, the fluctuation of black magic was actually detected on a bookshelf.

The captain's expression became serious. He took out a looking glass, but it didn't respond at all, and it didn't mean to sound an alarm at all.

The captain rolled his eyes, "I just said this piece of shit is unreliable, it's probably a false alarm." He asked the team members to put away the sticks. The four people did a rough inspection and left. Of course, Mr. Lawrence quietly handed over the purse and he accepted it without ceremony.
