Snape's Banana Stick
For a fleeting moment, Cedric felt an urge to kill William, and then he committed suicide to escape the embarrassment of being publicly executed.
Qiu simply covered her mouth and smiled, then turned her gaze to the other two.
"Who are you, the young wizards this year?"
"Oh, I'm Hermione Granger, just call me Hermione."
Hermione shook hands with Cho graciously.
"My name is Neville Longbottom, hello," Neville stammered.
Qiu introduced herself and then happily took out gifts of various sizes from her bag.
"These are all for you, don't be shy!"
William held a bottle of Lao Gan Ma, looking at the familiar old woman on the bottle's packaging, and almost shed tears of emotion.
He then glanced at Cedric, who had told him last summer that his father was very capable and that getting this kind of thing was as easy as drinking tea for him.
But now, the goods are still stuck in customs. Are you kidding me?
Cedric had obviously thought of this as well. He smiled knowingly, then suddenly remembered something and pulled a box out of his pocket.
Inside, there are six identical wands.
He laughed and said, "This is a new wand I made for you. Come and try it out to see if it fits your hand."
William curiously took the box and casually picked one out.
William grasped the wand, but it didn't react in any special way, indicating that the compatibility wasn't that high.
He murmured, "The Orchideous!"
A bouquet of flowers blooms on the tip of the magic wand.
William grabbed the bunch of flowers, used one of the stems as a vase, put the flowers in the vase, and placed it on the table.
"Not bad, although it's not quite handy, it can still be used to cast spells," William commented after using it.
Cedric said proudly, "Of course, the cores of these six wands are all made from the hair shed by a particularly beautiful male Unicorn... Hagrid found them for me."
Each one is twelve and a quarter inches long... made of elm wood... with good elasticity.
These wands are my proudest creations. Once I become famous, these early works will be worth a fortune.
You must keep this safe. I'm going to open a museum someday called the Diggory Wand Museum to commemorate the greatest wand maker of modern times.
These wands are like my children..."
Cedric started rambling again. Although he was very gentle and handsome, those who knew him well knew that he was a chatterbox.
William waved his wand, increasing the output of his magic.
"Stupefy!"
He mainly used this spare wand for fighting, or for other things that violated school rules.
This way, it won't be detected by the police, and the professors won't find out.
This inspiration came from Professor Snape.
In his first year, Professor Snape was arrested for the second time, largely because Prior Incantato was used to detect the Dark Magic used to attack Tywin in his wand.
If the test doesn't reveal anything, there's not much reason to arrest him.
Similarly, Auror usually carry two wands, one as a spare in case they lose their wand during battle.
But as William added the magic spell, the very thing Cedric had boasted about as being comparable to "Ollivander" began to hum under the strain.
It felt like a light bulb had a bad connection.
"..."
So this wand can only cast some ordinary magic; anything more powerful requires some kind of mystical power?
Schrödinger's wand.
Cedric said awkwardly, "I should have just said that my work is comparable to that of Mr. Ollivander when he was 'ten years old'..."
Don't look so disgusted, William. Wand making is a highly precise operation.
The air quality at Hogwarts, the weather, my mood while crafting... all these factors can affect the final result of a wand's creation.
Cedric repeatedly explained that he even believed Hagrid's misplacement of the Unicorn Hair was the main problem causing his wand to frequently malfunction.
"Why is it all Unicorn Hair?" William asked.
Each person's wand needs to be custom-made; you can't just use any one. And these Unicorn wand cores are clearly not suitable for William.
Cedric sighed. "Hagrid's place is a mess, with all sorts of Magical Creatures. I even saw a lot of Centaur hair and leg hair from Acromantula... those are totally unsuitable for making wands."
To put it bluntly, the only thing Cedric can use right now is Unicorn Hair.
However, as Cedric said, his technique will only get better and better, and with more materials, he will be able to create even better works.
Each of them took a wand, while Fred took two, one of which was Ron's.
Qiu pulled out a stack of GG (Girls' Love) slips from her pocket.
Currently, their research team consists of five people.
The twin brothers are the creative directors, responsible for providing a lot of inspiration and incidentally helping to develop fun magical prank toys.
Cedric is a wand maker who makes fake wands and does some graphic design on the side.
Qiu is the head of the publicity department, responsible for designing and promoting GG (Girl's Name), and incidentally developing connections to sell products.
It's quite easy for a girl to sell things, especially a pretty girl.
William did almost everything, mainly because his magical abilities were the highest, far surpassing those of the others.
He could provide products based on the opinions of many twins, even though they didn't know how to make many things. The only thing William didn't know how to do was wand making.
Their business wasn't limited to Hogwarts students; William also sold the Potions he brewed to the Diagon Alley.
Their store, though called a store, is actually still in its early stages, the kind that accumulates experience and continuously launches new products.
The sales focus is also on Hogwarts.
Qiu took out the promotional graphic she had designed; it was a stack of colorful papers with bright yellow lettering printed on them:
Akali's Mystery Shop.
The following are all products that have been invented so far, with the Hogwarts Magical Map listed first.
Immediately afterwards...
[Banana Stick, Snape's magic wand, a wizard's best friend. One before bed, equivalent to three pounds of constipation, making your constipation disappear completely. It's ranked #1 among all enema products in a Galleon.]
William was stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen the contents of a GG (Ghostly Item). Was he sure Professor Snape wouldn't kill them if he found out about this little GG?
Such hardcore GG words definitely weren't written by Qiu.
The twins then laughed.
"It's okay, William, what we need is to make a name for ourselves, and the GG lyrics need to be original and interesting!"
Don't worry, as long as everyone wants to buy, even if Snape is against us, we'll still sell it. The more he forbids it, the happier the young wizards will be to buy it."
Fred leaned back in his seat excitedly. "This is what a GG master looks like!" (Tactical lean back)
