Chapter 7
After trying so many wands, William has gained some experience.
If the wand does not match him, the magic power will be very agitated, and the magic used is mostly destructive. Mr. Ollivander has cleaned up the shop for this reason.
But if it feels average, the wand will at most spray some smoke or water.
Of course, there are some wands that are barely suitable, which are much more docile and will emit soft white light, or shoot out golden stars like fireworks.
But only this wand, when William waved it, actually used Transfiguration directly, turning an empty box into a white dove.
""A wonderful Transfiguration." Professor McGonagall smiled on her serious face. As the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts, she must be very happy to see William's talent for Transfiguration.
Mr. Ollivander even shouted loudly:"Oh, great, it suits you very well!""
""Thank you." William said with a smile.
William spent 7 Galleons to buy the wand. Mr. Ollivander bowed and sent them out of the store.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. William and Professor McGonagall rushed to the last stop of this trip, Eeyore Owl Shop.
The store looked dark, probably because owls like this kind of environment. When William left the store, he was holding a big birdcage in his hand, and there was a barn owl in the cage.
After all, there was no telephone in Hogwarts, so William could only write letters in the future, which was very inconvenient without an owl. William also named the owl - Iris.
"Okay, Mr. Cavendish, we've bought everything. I'll take you back."
Professor McGonagall took William and used Apparition again, returning directly to William's manor.
This time, William felt no ripples, and he didn't even frown. His strong physical fitness saved him a lot of troubles.
"Mr. Cavendish, I have to remind you of something. Professor McGonagall looked at William seriously.
"Please go ahead, Professor McGonagall." William pretended to listen carefully.
"Mr. Cavendish, I know you are new to magic and you must be very curious about it. I believe that with your wisdom and talent, you will have no problem learning some simple spells by yourself."
William was very pleased to hear this, but he knew that there would be a turning point next.……
"But remember, you can only practice magic in private, and you can't let others see you use magic, except your relatives."
"The Ministry of Magic stipulates that young wizards cannot cast spells outside of school, but the period before the first enrollment is an exception, so cherish it."
William nodded and promised seriously:"Okay, Professor McGonagall, don't worry, I will never use magic in front of others."
""Okay, this is for you." Professor McGonagall took out a letter,"This is your ticket to Hogwarts, September 1st, King's Cross Station, Platform 9 and 3/4."
William took the letter, and Professor McGonagall briefly explained the location of Platform 9 and 3/4. She did this every year.
"Mr. Cavendish, do you have any questions? If not, I'll take my leave and look forward to seeing you at Hogwarts in a month."
"Professor McGonagall, I have no questions, but I am really sorry to bother you today. Please allow me to show my hospitality and invite you to my home for a cup of tea and a simple dinner."
William spoke sincerely, and at the same time he observed the noble etiquette meticulously.
Professor McGonagall was stunned when she heard this, but she only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said,"In that case, thank you very much for the hospitality, Mr. Cavendish."
The reason why Professor McGonagall did not reject William's invitation was because she had a good impression of William. She thought William was polite, talented, had a good image and temperament, and was also smart and well-behaved.
In addition, it was already late and it was indeed dinner time. They had to go back to Hogwarts to eat, so it didn't matter where they ate.
But soon, Professor McGonagall found that this was really different.
The magnificent restaurant, the five-meter-long dining table, and the table were filled with delicious food, but there were only three people eating, William, McGonagall and Deborah.
The food on the table was clearly divided, one side was French food, the other side was Chinese food, but there was no local British food.
This was because Deborah liked French food, William liked Chinese food, but they didn't like British food. So this scene appeared.
Although it looks strange, the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. William's grandmother Deborah was of similar age to Professor McGonagall, and they got along well. Even though their living environments were completely different, they were both managers, so it was normal for them to exchange experiences.
After the meal, Professor McGonagall and Deborah became friends, and they even agreed to communicate by letter in the future. William just felt that this world was really wonderful.
After Professor McGonagall left, old lady Deborah was still a little reluctant, so William chatted with her about what she had seen and heard today, which made the old lady feel better.
At nine o'clock in the evening, William lay in bed, rubbing his wand unconsciously in his hand, his mind already immersed in the system.
"System, collect the magic wand in my hand"
【Ding! Collect the extraordinary five-star hornbeam wand, which rewards the host with magic power +5, money +1600 galleons, and spellcasting skills (advanced)!】
"It's only five stars, it seems it's not the wand passed down from Ollivander's ancestors."William complained casually, because he had read too many fan fictions with this setting.
The next second, William felt a trance in front of his eyes, and a lot of spellcasting skills appeared in his mind.
And these spellcasting skills are like... they are summarized by him after a long period of practice, without the slightest hindrance.
As we all know, when wizards cast magic, they don't wave their wands randomly, but according to a specific trajectory, and there is also a special rhythm when chanting spells, otherwise they can't cast magic.
Spellcasting skills are how wizards can quickly master these things.
A wizard with superb skills can learn a new magic faster and safer than a wizard with poor skills.
Of course, when a wizard has a deeper understanding of magic, then casting magic does not need to be so rigid, and can even cast silently, and even further cast without a wand.
But even so, the power of silent casting and wandless casting is generally not as good as normal casting.
So for beginners, spellcasting skills are still indispensable.
"System, what is the level of advanced spellcasting skills?"William was curious about this question, so he asked the system.
【Ding! Advanced spellcasting skills are roughly equivalent to the level of outstanding Hogwarts graduates.】
"Excellent graduate level, that's OK. By the way, the system has saved everything I bought today that can be saved."
