Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 145 Bizarre Disco Song! The Master of the Staff is Famous!

Dudley didn't initially intend to return Dugger's wand.

The reason for today's situation is all because of the silly and adorable letter that Dige sent on their first day of school.

Dudley couldn't bear to keep holding onto a wand that was no longer useful, leaving the dim-witted Mr. Digg in the dark.

That's why, driven by a little bit of guilt, I modified and strengthened Duggee's wand and wrote him an apology letter.

In his reply, Dudley openly admitted to stealing, but explained that the situation was urgent and he had a premonition that he and Harry would be attacked by Voldemort and dark wizards, which is why he took Dugger's wand.

Furthermore, this wand did indeed play a significant role in the later battle against Voldemort.

Finally, Dudley explained the functions of the modified and enhanced wand to Dugger and said that if Dugger was still not satisfied, Dudley could compensate him with some more Galleons.

The letter did not say what would happen if Digg was still not satisfied.

But it's clear that Dudley is not a good person, much less someone who would make endless concessions, even though he stole first.

However, after Hedwig delivered the large letter to Mr. Dugger, an unexpected and unforeseen development occurred, one that Dudley could never have imagined.

Dugger didn't care at all that Dudley had stolen his wand.

What Digg was concerned about was that his old wand had actually been used to cast a spell on the Dark Lord!

They also made significant contributions to defeating the Dark Lord!

Dige was overjoyed.

The momentous event he never dared to dream of in his life was now being brought into the picture by his magic wand.

How could he not be happy, how could he not be arrogant?

He was the kind of ruthless guy who cheered and created a meteor shower illusion to celebrate the night baby Harry turned on Voldemort, which alarmed the Muggle world!

So, Duggle spent the weekend visiting relatives and friends, showing off the wand Dudley had modified for him.

He boasted that his wand had once repelled the Dark Lord, and that he was an old friend of Harry Potter, the Dark Lord's nemesis, and Dudley Dursley, the first assistant teacher at Hogwarts.

That day, the Dursley teaching assistant immediately recognized the extraordinary quality of his wand and borrowed it. Later, he indeed used the wand to injure the Dark Lord and defeat him.

Moreover, now that his wand has been enhanced by the Dursleys' assistant, he can easily use it to cast a spell and bring down a group of dark wizards.

In short, the more exaggerated the claims are made, the more unbelievable they become, and the more bizarre they are spread.

On Saturday evening, Rita Skeeter, a columnist for the Daily Prophet, contacted Deegg and conducted a special interview with him.

The next day, Mr. Deegar's magic wand made the front page of the Daily Prophet.

In terms of boasting, exaggeration, and the ability to fabricate false information and spread rumors, a hundred Mr. Degos wouldn't be as good as one Rita Skeeter.

It's easy to imagine how outrageous the content of this report will be.

Due to Dumbledore's stern warning to the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter had to delete large sections of exaggerated and demonizing content about Dudley under strong interference from the newspaper's editor.

However, the final news report still deliberately touted Dudley as a wand maker surpassing Ollivander, because Dudley was able to modify and enhance the wands produced in Ollivander's shop.

Rita Skeeter, an illegal Animagus practitioner, can transform into a beetle and become a wiretapping maniac. As a journalist, she never respects the authenticity of news.

Their favorite thing to do is to smear people, or to damage the reputation of famous wizards by praising them to death or slandering them, and to provoke conflicts and disputes among wizards.

Even if she doesn't gain any extra benefit from it, she will still tirelessly engage in false reporting for her perverse pleasure.

This time, her intention was to provoke a conflict between the mysterious and powerful Dursleyan assistant professor and Master Ollivander, the wand monopoly manufacturer in the British magical world, and watch them argue until they were red in the face and fought fiercely.

But the result greatly disappointed her.

Dudley, who was studying at Hogwarts, didn't give the Daily Prophet any feedback and simply ignored it.

Meanwhile, Ollivander, the master who runs the Daily Prophet's office in Diagon Alley, calmly shut out the approaching reporters and onlookers, saying only:

“Mr. Dursley’s understanding of wands is far superior to mine, so it’s not surprising that he can enhance the wands I make!”

After saying that, he closed the door to other customers, only inviting Dige into the store for a private chat.

Ollivander was absolutely obsessed with wands.

Although he believed that Dudley, who could propose the amazing theory of listening to the will of the wand, was qualified to enhance his wand, he was still very curious about Dudley's techniques for enhancing the wand.

He begged Dugg to show him the wand that Dudley had enhanced.

Digo has no problem with it; he has already shown his new treasure to many people.

The reason I joined the crowd to block the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop today was because I was afraid Ollivander would say something detrimental to Dudley, so he could speak up for Dudley on the spot.

Now that Ollivander has come to his senses and admitted that he is not as skilled as Ollivander, he will maintain his respect for the master Ollivander.

Ollivander took the wand from Dygmun and noticed that it now had a lifelike phoenix design on it.

The phoenix patterns on the staff were blood-red, and with a slight touch of magic, one could sense a scorching and violent magical energy hidden within.

"This is a combined application of alchemy and the technique of constant magic! It also stores a powerful magical force!"

Ollivander stared at the wand in his hand, his old eyes shining brightly, and exclaimed sincerely, "Mr. Dursley is truly learned and full of ingenious ideas!"

After sighing, he closed his eyes again, carefully sensing with his heart, then looked at Dige and asked with great certainty:

"Mr. Dego, I presume Mr. Dursley has already provided you with the method to make this amorous wand faithful? And you have followed the method, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Digg was startled: "Master, you really are a master! I haven't told anyone about this! Mr. Dursley told me to drip my blood onto the phoenix pattern on the staff to signify my master, and I did as he said after reading the letter!"

"Haha! That's good too. Some wands are born with their own agendas and cannot be fully loyal to one master. That's not a good thing for the wizard who uses the wand."

Ollivander sighed again and reluctantly returned the wand to Deeco.

He then solemnly warned, "Use this wand carefully, and do not use the killing moves stored in it carelessly. The magical energy inside is depleted with each use and cannot be recharged."

“I know, I usually use my new wand, and I’ll save my trump card for when things are dangerous!” Digg said matter-of-factly.

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.
