Days to grind friendship 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, doesn't it make sense to bring a few spare wands with you when you go 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 for 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 a little red again.

"I'm really looking forward to it, but..." he hesitated and whispered, "I can't afford seven galleons, and after such a big disaster 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 dug into his pocket without hesitation. As a wealthy man who inherited a large amount of inheritance, the price of seven Galleons was only a drop in the bucket.

But Glenn didn't give him this opportunity to show off his wealth.

"Did I say I was going to 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 wand is obviously much heavier.

"Then you guys chat first, 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.

When entering, the atmosphere in the cabin was a bit strange.

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 looking at Hermione cautiously.

"What happened?" Qiu sat next to Hermione and asked softly.

Harry saw Glenn's questioning look and lowered his voice to explain: "We just talked 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 paper box from his pocket.

"According to my guess, 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 didn't care that he might spit out slugs again, catching it as if he had found a treasure.

He opened the carton and carefully reached out to hold the wand. A silvery white light flashed through and projected 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 will never find a wand that suits you better!" Qiu winked at Glenn and said with a smile.

Glenn was stunned. Why did 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, friendship level 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 clattering.

After this episode, the atmosphere in the hut 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.

Just like in the original work, Ron was assigned to clean the trophy room, while Harry was asked to help Lockhart reply to fans' letters.

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

...

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

The confinement time started at eight o'clock, and if nothing else happened, it was this night that Harry first heard the whisper of the basilisk as it passed through the pipe.

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 did not choose this day to open the secret room.

From eight o'clock in the evening to midnight, Glenn stared at the map for four hours. Until Harry left Lockhart's office, there was still no one in Myrtle's bathroom.

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

This result was somewhat difficult for Glenn to accept.

The secret chamber and the basilisk were originally one of the most dangerous years in the original novel, but now they are out of 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 down on the bed.

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

Even for him, 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 find traces of the basilisk was obviously 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 does not need to consider the issue of finding and capturing 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 when he hears the sound and take the people around him to stay away.
