Joel took out a tape measure to measure the size, and used a folding knife to cut off the holly branches bit by bit as lightly as possible. The leaves on the surrounding trees were gently blown by the evening wind, making a soft rustling sound, and the bright moonlight filtered through the leaves.
Photographed it.
It was a full moon, and it shone on the side of Joel's face with a bit of chill. The moonlight poured on the holly branches, making them look round and free. This was the qualified holly tree.
Joel panicked for no reason. He glanced at the dark corner of the Forbidden Forest with his peripheral vision. He always felt that this place was a little strange. It was not as peaceful as when he saw it from the outside during the day. He couldn't help but speed up his movements.
The folding knife exchanged from the system mall was quite sharp, and the holly branch quickly broke away from the embrace of the big tree and fell into Joel's palm.
This is the easiest step in the wand-making process.
Joel slowly climbed down from the ladder, waved his wand, and took down the sky blue silk scarf hanging on the branch above.
Fortunately, the silk scarf had not faded or been damaged after two months of wind and sun. Joel wrapped the holly branches with the silk scarf, then turned around and prepared to leave the Forbidden Forest.
After taking just two steps, Joel heard a rustling sound behind him. The last time this sound sounded, he thought it was the sound of the evening breeze, but now it seemed that it was caused by some kind of animal stepping on the low bushes.
Then he seemed to be targeted by some kind of terrible animal, and the muscles in his back stiffened. The unprecedented sense of urgency prompted Joel to make a forward motion. He rolled forward, and the wand in his hand naturally hit him.
Aim for the bushes behind you.
In the silent Forbidden Forest, Joel could even hear his own pounding heartbeat, and the blood all over his body was rushing up. He was sure that there was potential danger in the bushes.
He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling unnaturally, and the bush 5 meters away from him began to rustle and stir again.
Joel was really scared now. He had read the original book and only knew that there were Acromantulas and Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't know anything else.
Sometimes the unknown is the biggest fear.
He quickly cast a disguise spell on his head, stuffed the holly branch into his robe pocket, and ran out of the Forbidden Forest.
Avoiding the shadowy branches above his head, with the moonlight shining completely on his body, and staying away from the ghostly woods, Joel felt that his body was no longer as stiff as before.
He ran close to the brightly lit castle and rushed up the spiral staircase of Ravenclaw Tower. The eagle-shaped door knocker did not trouble him this time. After answering a simple sociology question, Joel entered the common room through the bronze door.
.
Noisy sounds flooded into the ears instantly, and many students were playing board and card games in the common room with butterbeers in their hands.
"Joel, where have you been?" With a smile on her face, Haylis handed over an unopened bottle of butterbeer.
"Went to...the library," Joel grabbed the strap of his school bag, "I forgot to return some books, but as soon as I arrived at the library door, Mrs. Pince closed the door."
"This is very Mrs. Pince." Haylis nodded sympathetically. It seemed that she didn't get anything good from Mrs. Pince.
Joel opened the butterbeer and took a sip. The cream and soda were mixed together, and the sweetness was just right.
Haylis followed him to the dormitory area. She seemed to have something else to say, but seeing that Joel was not in good mental health, she hesitated for a moment and finally did not say anything. After bidding farewell to Joel, she watched him disappear.
At the top of the stairs, my heart felt lost.
The other three roommates should all be in the common room. Joel took out the holly branch wrapped in a sky blue silk scarf, opened the window of the dormitory, and saw the moonlight pouring on the ground through the thin clouds.
He placed the holly branch on the edge of the window outside, and then connected the branch to the window with a sky-blue silk scarf to prevent it from falling and being shattered.
Early the next morning, Joel struggled to get out of bed after a sleepless night. His three roommates were still lying on the bed asleep, probably because they played a little late yesterday, and anyway, it was Sunday and there were no classes.
The first thing Joel did when he got out of bed was to check on his holly branches.
The curtains were slightly opened, and a ray of morning sunlight was projected through the glass window onto the carpet of the dormitory. The three roommates frowned at the same time, then turned over with their backs to the sun, and huddled themselves in a dark corner.
Joel opened the window, and the biting cold wind rushed into the room with some moisture unique to the morning. He saw that the wand tied to the edge of the table with a thin sky blue silk scarf was covered with dew.
He quickly picked up the wand and placed it on the desk away from the sun to wait for it to dry.
"Can you close the window?" Eddie was used to sleeping without a quilt, so he wore a thin pajama. At this time, he was freezing enough and he was awake, but his tone of voice was not good.
"Sorry, sorry," Joel knew it was his fault, so he quickly closed the window and drew the curtains. Now the dormitory was dark again, "just keep sleeping."
The three roommates slept like dead pigs. Joel ran to the bathroom to wash up and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Most of the long tables in the auditorium are filled with students from Gryffindor and Slytherin. Soon the two houses will decide the winner on the Quidditch pitch. Harry Potter, as the new Gryffindor,
The seeker was nervously filling his mouth with food, and there were several roommates beside him who were pouring juice for him.
This scene looks familiar to everyone. Joel is sitting at the empty Ravenclaw table. There are only a few people dining here and there. Even the dishes brought to the long table by the house elves are much less.
Joel had nothing to choose from, so he picked up the toast and poured a big spoonful of jam on it.
After breakfast, Joel went around the Black Lake. When he returned to the common room, his roommates were already awake. Eddie was stretching and yawning and making the bed. Alan ran out with wet hair.
After entering the bathroom, Sergey was sitting on the chair with his feet up, reading a book on the complete solution to the CLBT magic course, as if he was checking whether the staff of the Ministry of Magic had done their best after taking over the work.
My own owl, Poppy, stood on the windowsill, holding a letter in his talons and holding his head high as if asking for credit.
Joel stuffed Bobby with a large handful of owl food and then took down the letter.
It was from Professor White, and there was one letter every month, which meant that Bobby had to travel back and forth between England and France every month.
Joel couldn't bear to think of this, and took out a large handful of owl food from the jar and gave it to Bobby.
Poppy's big eyes were full of doubts, but since he had given it, there was no reason not to accept it. The owl reacted quickly and put all the owl food into its own small cage.
Joel unfolded the letter. The letter sent by Professor White this time was surprisingly sloppy, and one could see the excitement when he started writing it.
The edifice of the Soviet Union is about to collapse.
