A friendly day at Hogwarts

"Oh, my God..."

Between spitting out slugs, Ron shouted in despair.

"I have a question." Glenn smiled slightly and asked, "There is something wrong with your wand. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Huh?" Ron raised his head and looked at him in confusion.

"As a member of the Ollivander family, wouldn't it make sense to bring a few spare wands with you to school?"

Hearing what he said, the three little ones' eyes lit up at the same time.

Ron suddenly had hope again and looked at him eagerly, confirming: "Really?"

His excitement only lasted a few seconds, and his eyes dimmed again.

Glenn gave him a strange look and asked, "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be looking forward to it?"

Ron's face turned red again.

"I'm really looking forward to it, but..." he hesitated and whispered, "I can't afford seven galleons, and after I got into such a big trouble this time, my parents are definitely not willing to spend so much money to buy it for me again. Magic wand..."

When Harry heard this, he went to dig into his pocket without hesitation.As a small tycoon who inherited a large amount of inheritance, the price of seven galleons can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

But Glenn didn't give him the chance to show off his wealth.

"Did I say I would sell it to you?"

On the word "sell", he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation.

Ron raised his head instantly, with a little more hope in his eyes.

"It hurts feelings to talk about money. The most indispensable thing in the Ollivander family is a wand." Glenn looked at him and said with a smile, "Anyway, there are only a few months left, so think of it as my gift to you in advance this year." Christmas present!”

"Okay, okay!" Ron nodded repeatedly and agreed without hesitation. Compared to a Christmas gift, the weight of the wand was obviously much heavier.

"Then you guys chat first, and I'll go back and get the wand."

After Glenn finished speaking, he returned to Ravenclaw Tower with Qiu, and then returned with the new wand prepared for Ron.

There was something strange about the atmosphere in the cabin when I entered.

Ron was still holding the big copper basin, occasionally vomiting out a few slugs, with a look of despair on his face.

Hermione sat alone by the window, looking out the window, seemingly unhappy.

Harry and Hagrid were whispering next to each other, occasionally glancing warily at Hermione.

"What happened?" Qiu asked softly, sitting next to Hermione.

Harry saw Glenn's questioning look and lowered his voice to explain: "We were just talking about Lockhart, and Hagrid said he didn't like him very much, but Hermione ignored us..."

Glenn couldn't help but glance at Hermione, who was still sulking. He didn't dare to speak, so he had to take out a long and narrow cardboard box from his pocket.

"According to my speculation, this wand should be the most suitable for you."

He brought the cardboard box to Ron's eyes and said with a smile.

Ron's eyes lit up, and he caught it as if he had found a treasure, regardless of the possibility that he might spit out slugs again.

He opened the carton and carefully reached out to hold the wand. A flash of silvery light flashed and danced onto the four walls of the hut.

"That's great, Ron!" Harry shouted cheerfully.

Hagrid clapped his hands, grinning from ear to ear, and even Hermione's expression softened a lot.

"I bet you can't find a wand that suits you better!" Qiu winked at Glenn and said with a smile.

Glenn was stunned.Why do these words sound so familiar...

Ron played with the new wand repeatedly and couldn't put it down, and even the symptoms of vomiting slugs were relieved a lot.

[Important character, Ron Weasley, friendliness +70, exchange currency +7000. 】

Seven galleons, in exchange for a total of seven thousand exchange coins, this rate of return is simply exaggerated and scary.

Glenn looked at his soaring savings and seemed to hear the sound of gold coins rattling.

After this episode, the atmosphere in the cabin became less tense.They chatted for a while, then went to see the big pumpkin that Hagrid secretly used the expansion spell on, and then returned to the castle.

As soon as they entered the foyer, Harry and Ron were stopped by Professor McGonagall, who arranged for them to be locked up for the night.

As in the original novel, Ron was assigned to clean the trophy room, while Harry was asked to help Lockhart answer letters from fans.

Seeing Hermione's envious eyes, Glenn suspected that she even regretted not breaking the school rules with Harry.

...

That night, Glenn returned to his dormitory early and opened the system map interface.

Lockdown began at eight o'clock, and if nothing else, it was that night that Harry first heard the whisper of the basilisk as it passed through the pipes.

In other words, the person who got the diary opened the secret room on this day.

Now that the location of the entrance to the secret room is known, it is obvious that it should be easy to find the person who opened the secret room by keeping an eye on Myrtle's pipes.

unless...

Unless that person didn't choose this day to open the secret room.

Glenn stared at the map for four hours, from eight o'clock in the evening to midnight, until Harry left Lockhart's office, and still no one showed up in Myrtle's bathroom.

Facts have proved that the plot of the secret room has indeed undergone huge changes.

This result was somewhat difficult for Glenn to accept.

The Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk were already one of the most dangerous years in the original novel, and now they are out of the control of the plot.

It was impossible for Glenn to believe the so-called basilisk, which kept Slytherin's rules in mind and deliberately only turned people to stone without harming their lives.

This kind of statement is just a private fiction made up by fans, and has no reference value at all.

Although the basilisk has a certain degree of intelligence, it is still essentially a beast, and its ability to kill with its gaze is extremely unstable. How can it be possible to completely eliminate all dangers and accidents?

Glenn watched Harry walk all the way back to the Gryffindor common room, sighed, closed the map and lay back on the bed.

If this situation continues to develop, the crisis in the secret room will become increasingly grim.

Even for himself, it is difficult to guard against the basilisk that can wander through the pipes at will and appear and disappear. After all, although the map function is powerful, he cannot always keep it open at all times.

He thought hard for a long time and finally managed to come up with a temporary solution.

The reason why Harry could often spot the basilisk was apparently because he could hear the whispers coming from the walls.

In other words, whenever a basilisk appears in a pipe near him, he can detect it immediately.

In this way, the ability of Parselmouth shows its value.

For Glenn, he doesn't need to think about finding and catching it yet, but if he can master Parseltongue, he can know at any time whether the Basilisk is near him.

In this way, he only needs to find an excuse and take the people around him away when he hears the sound.
