Harry turned around and saw Dolly, and he also laughed in surprise and said, "Sister, what was that spell just now?"
"Also, don't use any powerful spells, Ron's wand is in its mouth!"
"Just a repulsive spell."
Dolly stopped beside the three little ones, then looked at Ron and said, "If your wand is damaged, I can make you a new one that suits you best."
Ron was looking a little depressed because he felt that he could not keep his wand.
But after hearing Dolly's words, Ron's expression immediately became surprised.
The wand in his hand was not actually his wand, but his brother Charlie's old wand.
Because the brothers are connected by blood, Ron's use of this wand has no apparent effect on him.
But according to the theory Dolly learned from the wand shop, this wand only reluctantly obeyed Ron's orders, and would actually greatly limit Ron's talent in learning and using spells.
After all, the wand didn't really recognize him and was just serving his master's brother out of spite.
So some of Ron's poor performance can actually be blamed on the wand.
Normally Dolly wouldn't care about this kind of thing, but now that Sirius has appeared, it also means that Harry is beginning to be in danger.
The current plot is no longer possible to be exactly the same as the original, and Dolly will not always stay with Harry. Perhaps it is time to slightly strengthen the companions around Harry.
For example, the most important thing for Ron right now is to get a wand that suits him best.
Then there is Neville. Dolly can consider enhancing his magical abilities in other ways.
Ron nodded without much hesitation.
His family couldn't afford a new wand at the moment, and this wand wasn't comfortable for him to use.
It was a very strange feeling, as if the wand were resisting him.
However, Ron, who had never heard the wand theory from Ollivander, naturally didn't know that this was the reason why the wand didn't choose him, and thought it was because of his magical talent.
Now that he had the chance to get a custom wand, how could Ron not be happy?
If he knew that, according to Ollivander's theory, everyone's wand must be customized, he probably wouldn't be so happy.
"Is the repulsive spell really that powerful?"
Neville, holding his wand, spoke with some envy, and Dolly looked at him seriously and said, "Neville, magic is the power of belief."
"If you don't believe in your spell, how can it become stronger?"
Dolly told half the truth. The power of a spell naturally depends on the level or proficiency of the spell, as well as the magic power of the spell holder.
This is the basis of how powerful the spell is.
But Dolly didn't lie, because in the magical world, emotions are indeed a mysterious force that can affect magic.
From small spells that become more powerful when angry to the Unforgivable Curses that can only be used in a state of hatred.
The magic of love, so great that even Dumbledore could not understand it, can be classified into this category.
So as long as Neville picks up his courage, he will be another savior.
"Believe in yourself, you will become strong."
Dolly said casually, then continued forward, pointing her wand at Sirius.
Neville looked at Dolly with shining eyes, with a hint of gratitude in them.
Although Neville has become much more confident than in the original book because he has become Harry's partner.
However, there were very few people who affirmed him so directly. Even Harry and Ron only recognized his loyalty and did not think he had enough talent and ability.
So Neville, who was recognized by Dolly, was no less excited than Ron.
"Sister, let's join forces and catch him together."
Harry also pointed at Sirius, looking eager to try.
Although there were many opportunities to use magic at Hogwarts, the opportunity to make a creature an enemy was still a new one for Harry.
"Once I catch him, I'll see if he still chews on the wand."
Harry obviously had no idea that the big black dog was his godfather, and Dolly simply pretended not to know him and said, "Okay, you force him to move, and I'll use Transfiguration to tie him up."
However, Dolly obviously still gave Sirius a chance, treating him as a wild dog that didn't understand human language. If Sirius was caught, it could only mean that his strength had regressed a lot.
Sure enough, with Dolly's guidance.
The big black dog dodged Harry's spell nimbly, and when it was about to get close to the stone and Dolly raised her wand, the dog swung the wand in her mouth directly towards Dolly.
Of course, Dolly's spell couldn't be blocked by a wand, but Ron screamed and subconsciously reached out to take it. After all, Dolly's promise was just a promise, and even if he could really get a new wand, this old wand would still be an indispensable tool for him until he got it.
Now Dolly's casting space was completely blocked. Dolly also complained, saying, "Ron, you're blocking me."
Ron quickly dodged, but Sirius had already scurried into the back of the Shrieking Shack.
Harry wanted to go forward, but Hermione shouted, "Don't chase him! You're not really going to break into the forbidden magic place just to chase a dog, are you?"
"There are rumors of ghosts here, but even Hogwarts doesn't care."
"Either there are no ghosts here, or this is some kind of magical forbidden place, and even Hogwarts has tacitly acknowledged its existence."
Hermione is worthy of being Hermione, she directly guessed the truth.
Harry then stopped and looked at the place where the big black dog disappeared with some regret. It was really not worth it to continue going forward.
What's more, Ron also started to cry and said, "My wand was chewed off the skin. This damn big black dog, I will definitely beat him up next time I get the chance."
It’s good enough that he doesn’t beat you. In theory, you should call him uncle.
Dolly was not just imagining things, because Ron's mother, Molly Weasley, was the granddaughter of Sirius Black's cousin, Cedrel Black.
Ron's family seemed to be poor, but they were indeed a legitimate pure-blood wizard family. Not only was his family one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clan, but even his mother was a descendant of the Black family.
There are not many families that can have this level of purity.
"Let me see."
Dolly took the wand and used it first to clean it, then to restore it to its original state.
Several people were dumbfounded. Hermione also asked in surprise, "Can a damaged wand be repaired?"
"Of course it can be repaired, but I only repaired the wood material. The lost magical balance will be difficult to restore."
The wood in a wand is responsible for some of the magical effects, but the wood itself has almost no magic power. Otherwise, some common woods can be used to make wands, and there would be too much magical wood.
But as Dolly said, the effectiveness of this wand was greatly reduced, and Ron would probably feel like he was wearing a sandbag when using it.
Ron looked at Dolly miserably with a sad face. At this moment he really wanted to ask Dolly for help, but unfortunately he was a person who cared a lot about his reputation.
Dolly suddenly spoke up and said, "Neville, let me see your wand."
Neville handed the wand to Dolly. Dolly looked at the old wand and then she remembered that Neville was in a similar situation.
He used his father's old wand, which theoretically had no problem using, and the wand basically accepted him.
However, even the personalities of father and son are very different, and Neville's personality has some problems, so he obviously cannot bring out the power of this wand.
In that case, Dolly might as well make a new wand for Neville.
So Dolly said: "I will make you a new wand later. As a student of Ollivander, I can't stand you using old wands."
Ron jumped up excitedly, and Neville was stunned for a moment before he kept saying thank you.
Harry was obviously still immersed in the regret of letting the big black dog escape. Hermione pulled Dolly and said, "Let's talk about these things later. Let's get out of here quickly. I always feel that a group of Dementors will appear out of nowhere."
Dolly looked at the setting sun, nodded, and said, "It's time to leave."
However, in reality, she was looking at the position of the invisible Auror, who seemed to want to make some moves. She didn't know whether he was going to cause trouble for Sirius or to disturb them.
In the end, the sight of Dolly and her group gathered together, talking and laughing, made him stop his actions, and he continued to choose to remain invisible and monitor everything around him.
Although the black dog just now was strange, there are many strange creatures in the magical world, and it is impossible to track them all down.
However, this Auror still dutifully wrote down what happened today in the report. As for whether the leaders read it or not, that was their business.
After Dolly and the others exercised for a while, they all started to feel hungry.
So they split up and Harry and his friends went to get back the things they bought.
Dolly took Hermione to the stationery store and bought several different types of feather pens.
"What did you buy so many quills for?"
Hermione asked, not having experienced what happened with Rita.
"Of course, I'm going to make an automatic quill. Do you still want to continue translating Muggle classics manually?"
Hermione covered her face in pain, she had almost forgotten about it.
School has been in session for two months, and Lovegood's manuscripts should have been almost used up. In theory, they still need to continue submitting manuscripts.
After all, as wizards from Muggle families, only Hermione, Qiu Zhang and Dolly can translate as faithfully, accurately and elegantly as possible, so it is not easy to replace them for this job.
But Hermione is so busy with her classes now that she has no time to be a translator.
"So I was inspired by Rita and wanted to make a similar automatic writing quill as hers, but a little more serious."
“That’s a really good idea.”
Soon, two men arrived at the Hog's Head Bar carrying a few boxes.
The place was already crowded with people. Fortunately, Harry and the others had helped Dolly and Hermione find a seat, so the two were not evicted.
Dolly looked at the bar owner curiously. The owner was Aberforth Dumbledore, Dumbledore's younger brother. The two brothers looked really alike.
It’s just because on one side is the elegant White Devil, and on the other side is the sloppy owner of a dirty bar, and both of their faces are mostly covered by beards, so it is really difficult to directly connect the two people without knowing the difference.
"What would you like to drink? Neville and I are treating today."
Ron patted his chest and said this, causing Dolly and Hermione to look at her in astonishment.
Hermione continued, "Whatever. I really don't like the environment here."
Hermione was born into a family of doctors, and her and Dolly's dormitory was kept spotlessly clean.
Now, the bay windows of the Pig's Head Inn are covered with thick dirt, and the light from outside can hardly penetrate. A few candle ends are lit on the rough wooden tables.
At first glance, the ground looked like compacted mud, but when you stepped on it, you discovered that the ground was originally paved with stones but had accumulated dirt for centuries.
Consider also the tattered wooden sign hanging from a rusty bracket above the door, depicting a severed pig's head, blood seeping through the white cloth wrapped around it.
The fact that Hermione was able to sit down showed that she didn't want to spoil anyone's fun.
257
Chapter 257 Halloween.
Seeing this, Dolly simply waved her wand and used Transfiguration to produce some cushions and tablecloths, and rearranged the seats and tables for several people.
Although this couldn't change the environment of the entire bar, it would at least make Dolly and Hermione feel less uncomfortable.
Aberforth on the side just watched and did not stop it.
If a big and strong wizard did this kind of thing, he would definitely make a sarcastic remark.
But now there are only students here, and the ones doing this are two beautiful little witches, so he still has some sympathy for them.
Of course, outsiders can't see this kind of thing. Everyone will just think he is a strange old man.
"Have some butterbeer."
In the end, Dolly made her choice.
Although it appears to be a choice, in reality there is no other choice.
Because this is a bar, and they are too young, it is difficult for them to buy non-alcoholic drinks in the bar. You can't ask Aberforth to make pumpkin juice for everyone, right?
So non-alcoholic beverages like butterbeer are the only option.
This was actually Dolly's first time trying butterbeer.
Although Butterbeer is non-alcoholic, Hogwarts still does not serve it to students. Just based on the name, it is unlikely to be liked by professors.
Not to mention, Butterbeer is actually made with beer.
The specific method is to boil beer in a pot and throw a whole piece of butter into it.
Stir with chopsticks or a spoon to speed up the dissolution. Once the butter is completely dissolved, a cup of steaming hot butter beer is ready.
