Chapter 94 Dudley's Original Creation: The Man-Slaying Willow Wand!
"Unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to specifically learn black magic. Mastering white magic and then using your creativity to create more useful white spells is enough to meet the needs of daily life and combat."
Dudley said he doesn't have any preference for dark magic; whether it's dark or white magic, it all comes down to emotions, willpower, and magic.
With unwavering willpower, profound magical power, and the right emotions, white magic can still achieve stunning magical effects.
And you don't have to worry about negative emotions affecting your mind.
Dudley and Harry discussed magical knowledge for a while, during which he gradually dispelled the negative emotions that had arisen from practicing the Killing Charm.
Afterwards, Dudley let Harry go back to his dormitory to rest alone, while he asked the Room of Requirement to change his workshop to a special one for making wands and alchemical items.
Dudley was overjoyed to see the new workbench and magical instruments in the room, as well as the alchemy and staff-making notes left behind by his predecessors.
He took out a series of materials from his personal space, including Harry's hair, dragon blood, a branch of the Whomping Willow, the withered limb of the Bowtruckle, unicorn hair, and the hair on the legs of the Octopod, and began his first practical wand-making exercise.
He soaked Harry's hair in dragon's blood and used alchemical fusion techniques to enhance the magical properties of Harry's hair, making it the core of his wand;
He took a section of the willow tree trunk that had been used to hit people and carved it into an exquisite hollow long wooden stick to serve as the staff.
Concerned that the Willow of the Bitterlings was unsuitable for making wands, he used alchemy to incorporate a third of the withered limb of the Bowtruckle into the willow's wood, thus adding the wand's properties to it.
Finally, using Ollivander's secret wand-making techniques, the unique wand core and shaft were combined to create a magic wand.
"Bam—"
Dudley's first wand ever made exploded.
Dali's face was blackened from the frying, and his hair was smoking.
"Perhaps it's incompatible. The plan to make a special anti-enemy wand from Harry's hair will have to be put on hold for now. Let's try again once Hagrid has found more types of wand-making wood!"
After some deliberation, Dali made a decision.
His original intention was to capitalize on the fact that 'Harry is Voldemort's destined nemesis, and the two are enemies,' and use Harry's hair as the core to create a special wand to attack Voldemort's soul fragments.
Using such a wand to cast the Killing Curse on the Voldemort soul fragments within the Horcruxes would undoubtedly be more precise, powerful, and targeted.
Harry is kind-hearted and would never harm innocent people. Using his hair as the core of the wand can maximize the safety of the Horcrux itself.
Due to the current shortage of materials for the cane, Dudley cannot immediately complete this idea and has to put it on hold for the time being.
Dudley didn't stop; instead, he changed the core material and continued trying to make wands.
……
As dawn broke, Dudley left the Room of Requirement.
After a series of miraculous and fierce operations in the latter half of the night.
He consumed a small bowl of dragon blood, more than ten twigs of the Whomping Willow, a small section of the Whomping Willow branch, a tuft of Harry's hair, all the withered and broken limbs of the Bowtruckle, three unicorn hairs and five hairs from the legs of the Eight-Eyed Spider, plus a small piece of centaur hoof matter.
Finally, a very powerful Man-Slaying Wand was created.
This Man-Beating Willow Wand is 9.5 inches long, with a core made of the hairy limbs of an eight-eyed giant spider. The wand is made of seven spirally intertwined Man-Beating Willow twigs, and 10 grams of centaur hoof material and one-third of a withered limb of a Bowtruckle are incorporated into the wand through alchemy.
The centaur's hoof-like quality endows the Manta Style with a stable nature, while the withered limbs of the Bowtruckle give it a gentler potential as a wand.
This is a peculiar wand that was accidentally created by Dudley through his existing alchemy and wand-making skills, with a bit of good luck.
Dudley planned to give it to his subordinate, Administrator Filch. Unlike the old Dumbledore, he knew that if you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it first.
Furthermore, from the moment he crafted this wand, he had a very strong feeling that it would be perfect for Filch.
The frenzy of the Man-Beating Willow, the ferocity of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, the steadfastness of the Centaur, and the gentleness of the Tree-Protecting Bowtruckle—these elements blend together perfectly, reflecting Filch's character.
Dudley didn't go back to the Gryffindor common room. Instead, he ran to Filch's office on the first floor, woke Filch up, and handed him the Whomping Willow Wand.
Filch took the Willow Wand with a somewhat bewildered look.
In an instant, the tip of the staff flashed with purple light, emanating images of twisted and lashing whips, demonstrating its extremely high compatibility with Filch.
Filch felt an overwhelming sense of joy and exhilaration, and the previously unreliable release of magic instantly became stable and smooth.
In terms of spellcasting ability, he is now no different from a normal wizard.
"Teaching Assistant, I...I...I'm so happy! I'm so grateful to you! I will definitely do my best to complete all the tasks you assign me!"
The hunched, withered old man, Filch, expressed his gratitude to Dudley in a trembling voice.
He jumped up excitedly beside Mrs. Loris, who had purple fur, waking her up from her dream.
Mrs. Lorris rolled her eyes at her incompetent servant, moved to another spot, and curled up to sleep again.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully resolved the D-level unfortunate incident - The Lonely Squib!]
The host granted Filch the ability to cast spells, transforming him into a wizard, and personally crafted him the Whomping Willow Wand, which had an initial compatibility of 95%, completely filling Filch's proud yet fragile ego.
This allowed him to finally convince himself to truly integrate into the Hogwarts wizarding community and escape his loneliness.
This issue has been perfectly resolved.
[Special offer, fixed reward: 1 D-level fusion opportunity.]
[Bonus Reward: 1 D-rank fusion opportunity.]
[Currently available magic item fusion opportunities: 2 times for grade C, 3 times for grade D, and 1 time for grade E.]
"Alright, stop jumping!"
After receiving the system's reward information, Dudley called out to the excited Filch, "Try to audit more spell classes when you have time to improve your spellcasting skills, and don't disgrace my wand!"
"Okay, teaching assistant."
Filch quickly lowered his head and answered meekly.
Then, he glanced cautiously at Dudley, and seeing that Dudley didn't seem upset, he added:
"Well... Teaching Assistant, there's something I have to confess to you. Actually, when I was a Squib, I had been intermittently sitting in on Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes by peeking out the window for decades."
I was so excited last night that I forgot to tell you about it.
"What?"
Dudley was astonished; this was an unexpected turn of events he had never anticipated.
No wonder Filch was able to control his powerful magic, which was already very strong upon awakening, relatively easily last night with his help.
A Squib who yearns for magic and has been silently watching young wizards take classes for years—that makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect.
Opportunity truly favors the prepared mind!
"Filch, it seems I can give you more responsibilities from now on!"
