After wandering around the cave for half an hour, the tiger and his son finally stopped and disappeared into the darkness.
After a while, a slight snore sounded.
It's finally safe.
Joel's shoulders suddenly slumped.
He wiped his forehead, which was covered with moisture or sweat, and felt sticky to the touch.
He tiptoed to the unicorn's bones. This beautiful and holy unicorn now only had a head and scattered bone fragments, and its feathers were scattered on the ground like mercury. Joel sighed and looked for
A few silver feathers in good condition were stuffed into his pocket.
‘If you’re to blame, just blame the noseless old man. I didn’t want to kill you...’ Joel felt a little melancholy.
After taking the unicorn hair, Joel cast a disguise spell on his head and walked out of the cave.
He looked along the way he came. He entered the Forbidden Forest and walked for about an hour. Hogwarts Castle was completely obscured by tall trees, and only a few tall towers could be seen.
Joel found the exact location of Ravenclaw Tower, where there were still a few lights on, like the light waiting for you to go home.
Joel returned the way he came. Fortunately, his head mask was useful enough and he didn't get lost in the dense forest. After wandering around the Forbidden Forest for more than half an hour, he finally walked out. Hogwarts Castle was right in front of him.
.
He rushed into Ravenclaw Tower under the Disillusionment Curse. When he returned to the dormitory, his three roommates were all awake and were gathering on Eddie's bed to play poker.
"You..." Eddie grabbed a handful of cards and looked at Joel, "Where did you go to cause trouble?"
Joel looked at himself. He was sticky and smelly from being roasted under the warm light. The cave where the two tigers lived was damp and airless, and the smell of rotten flesh and bones inside inevitably infected him.
"I'm going to take a shower first." Joel quickly took off his robe and carried his pajamas and toiletries into the bathroom.
"What's going on Joel?" Eddie frowned, "It's been like this on Saturdays for two weeks in a row."
"Off..." Sergey raised his eyes and glanced at him. He wanted to say it was none of your business, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, "I don't know either."
Joel washed himself clean before returning to the dormitory and lying down. He took out the unicorn feathers from the pocket of his old robe and put them together with the holly branches, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.
The three roommates looked at each other.
"Just put it away, I'm quite tired and want to go to bed early." Sergey threw a handful of good cards in his hand onto the bed.
"...Yes, yes, I'm quite tired too. I have to go to the library to borrow two books to read tomorrow." Allen also reacted and put away the poker cards.
Tomorrow is Sunday, are you sure you want to go to the library early in the morning? Eddie looked at Allen with doubt. Allen was the one among the four in the dormitory who liked to sleep in. It was okay if he had early classes on weekdays, but on weekends he would not do it until noon.
The only time I got up was to cheer Eddie on for his first Quidditch match.
When Joel woke up early the next morning, he felt sore and weak all over, as if he had just taken a physical test yesterday.
Rubbing his neck and twisting his waist, Joel endured the pain and got out of bed. Sergey's quilt had been folded and disappeared to nowhere, while Alan and Eddie were still lying on the bed.
He opened the box, and inside lay three unicorn hairs and a holly branch. Two of the hairs were stained with silver-blue blood, which looked particularly beautiful after drying.
At that time, I didn't care so much when I was trimming my hair. I just grabbed a handful and came back. At this time, it seemed that only one could be used on the wand.
Joel pulled out the intact unicorn fur and holly branches.
After washing up, he sneaked to the men's bathroom on the second floor of the castle with his bag on his back, got into the cubicle and locked the door.
Taking out a folding knife from his backpack, he first dug a deep small hole from the bottom of the holly branch, and then poked the unicorn hair into it.
Stuffing all the unicorn feathers into the holly branches, Joel took a tape measure and measured his body data based on what he read in the wandology book, which was closely related to the length of the wand.
After the measurement was completed, Joel swung the folding knife and cut off all the excess holly wood, so that the unicorn hair as the core of the wand was intact and sealed in the holly wood.
"Eleven and a quarter inches..." Joel was satisfied, and then used his original wand to draw hard on his forearm. The skin tore like cloth, and dark red blood flowed out of the veins, sprinkling
On holly wood.
The dark red blood soaked all the branches, and Joel breathed a sigh of relief. This wand was a little ugly, but it was easy to use. He had always been a pragmatist.
A prompt appears in the system: The reward task (unique wand) has been successfully completed. Congratulations to the host for having his own exclusive wand.
Joel's fingertips connected to the holly wood bloomed with intense red light. The red light was so powerful that the holly wood was also wrapped in it.
Two minutes later, the red light dissipated, leaving behind a holly tree that had changed its appearance.
The originally rough branches became smooth and rounded, and the lowest part of the wand against the tiger's mouth still had dark lines that were difficult to detect. The color turned into a deeper dark red, making it look much more gorgeous and expensive.
Joel waved the holly wood, and the wand was used to release all the magic power he input, and the bathroom stall door was blown open by the air wave.
The Ru-Arm moves the fingers very smoothly, without any sense of obstruction as before.
Joel whistled. In comparison, the grapevine wand was far inferior in appearance and ease of use.
He put the vine wand in its box and replaced it with a more comfortable holly wand.
The tiger father and son in the Forbidden Forest were naturally forgotten by him, and the experience of that night in the Forbidden Forest was like a dream in retrospect.
The calm and boring life was wearing down everyone's patience. Eddie sold all the Rubik's Cubes in his hand. Excluding the profits from the magic part, the money he earned was not much more than the dividends CLBT received in a month.
"Joel Joel, do you have any ideas to make money?" On the weekend in early December, Eddie was lying in the dormitory, bored, with his feet on the wall and humming, "I'm almost bored to death."
, I want to count galleons, count galleons..."
"This is the fifteenth time you've asked this question." Allen said without raising his head. He was fiddling with the crucible on the desk in front of the ancient potions book, thinking about how to make the crucible heat more evenly.
Joel turned a page of the book, "...there is."
Sergey suddenly opened the quilt and said, "Tell me what you want to hear?"
He was a little impatient.
Joel met Sergey's suddenly bright eyes, frowned slightly but immediately relaxed, "Do you do gold reselling?"
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, giving him a hint of a smile.
"...Gold?" Eddie's eyes widened, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more obvious.
The silly and sweet Alan on the side was tinkering with the crucible with his wand. He was startled by Joel's words and accidentally shot out two sparks. The crackling sound was like setting off fireworks.
"Steamed and fake?" He was so nervous that he even mispronounced it.
Joel looked at the surprised expressions of his roommates, closed the book and laughed, "I'm just kidding you, how could I possibly resell gold?"
