Chapter 94: Dudley's Original Creation: The Whomping Willow Wand!

"Unless necessary, there's no need to specifically practice dark magic. Master white magic and use your creativity to create more useful white spells. That'll be enough to handle daily life and battles."

Dudley said to Harry. He doesn't have a particular preference for dark magic. Whether it's dark magic or white magic, ultimately, it all boils down to emotions, willpower, and magic power.

As long as one has a strong will, profound magic power, and the right emotions, white magic can also achieve amazing magical effects.

And there's no need to worry about being affected by negative emotions and losing one's mind.

Dudley and Harry discussed magic knowledge for a while. During this process, he gradually dispelled the negative emotions arising from practicing the Killing spell.

After that, Dudley sent Harry back to the dormitory to rest alone. Then he asked the Room of Requirement to transform his room into a special workshop for wand-making and alchemical item production.

Looking at the new workbenches, magical instruments, and tools in the room, along with the alchemical and wand-making notes left by predecessors, Dudley was overjoyed.

He took out a series of materials from his Personal Space, such as Harry's hair, dragon blood, a branch of the Whomping Willow, a withered Bowtruckle limb, unicorn hair, and Acromantula leg fluff... and began his next wand-making practice.

He soaked Harry's hair in dragon blood and used the alchemical fusion method to enhance the magical properties of Harry's hair, which would serve as the wand core.

He cut a section of the Whomping Willow trunk and carved it into a delicate, hollow, long wooden rod as the wand body.

Since he was worried that the Whomping Willow wasn't suitable for wand-making, he also used alchemy to refine one-third of the withered Bowtruckle limb into the Whomping Willow wand body to add the characteristics of a wand.

Finally, using Ollivander's secret wand-making technique, he combined the peculiar wand core and the wand body to make a wand.

"Boom—"

The first wand Dudley ever made in his life exploded.

It left Dudley with a soot-blackened face and smoking hair.

"Maybe there's a compatibility issue. I'll put the plan of making a special wand for dealing with enemies using Harry's hair on hold for now. I'll try again after Hagrid finds more types of wand-making wood!"

Dudley thought it over in his mind and made a decision.

His original intention was to take advantage of the fact that 'Harry is the fated nemesis of Voldemort, and they are enemies.' He wanted to use Harry's hair as the wand core to make a special wand for attacking Voldemort's soul fragment.

Using such a wand to cast the Killing spell on Voldemort's soul fragment in the Horcruxes would definitely be more accurate, powerful, and targeted.

Harry was inherently kind-hearted and would never harm innocent people. Using his hair as the wand core could ensure the safety of the Horcruxes themselves to the greatest extent.

Currently limited by the lack of types of wand body materials, Dudley couldn't immediately fulfill this idea and had to put it on hold first.

Dudley didn't stop there. Instead, he changed the wand core material and continued to try making wands.

...

When it was just getting light, Dudley left the Room of Requirement.

After a series of astonishing maneuvers in the second half of the night.

He used up half a bowl of dragon blood, over a dozen Whomping Willow branches, half of a Whomping Willow branch trunk, a handful of Harry's hair, all the withered and broken Bowtruckle limbs, three unicorn hairs, five tufts of Acromantula leg fluff, and a piece of Maro hoof material.

Finally, he made a Whomping Willow wand with quite good power.

This Whomping Willow wand is 9.5 inches long. Its wand core is made of Acromantula leg fluff, and its wand body is formed by the spiral intertwining and condensation of seven Whomping Willow branches. Using alchemy, 10 grams of Maro hoof material and one-third of a withered and broken Bowtruckle limb were fused into the wand body.

The Maro hoof material endows the wand body of the Whomping Willow wand with a stable nature, while the withered and broken Bowtruckle limb endows the Whomping Willow with the gentle potential to be a wand body.

This is a peculiar wand made by Dudley based on his current alchemy and wand-making skills, with a little bit of good luck by chance.

Dudley planned to give it to his subordinate, Caretaker Filch. Unlike the former Dumbledore, he knew that if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it properly first.

Moreover, from the moment he made this wand, he had a very strong feeling that this wand would be very suitable for Filch.

The wildness of the Whomping Willow, the ferocity of the Acromantula, the steadfastness of the Maro, and the gentleness of the Bowtruckle are perfectly combined. Isn't this exactly a portrayal of Filch's character?

Dudley didn't return to the Gryffindor common room. He ran to Filch's office on the first floor, woke Filch up directly, and handed over the Whomping Willow wand.

Filch took the Whomping Willow wand somewhat dazedly.

Suddenly, purple light flashed at the tip of the wand, and images of twisted and lashing whips appeared, showing its extremely high compatibility with Filch.

Filch felt an incomparable sense of joy and elation. His previously erratic magic power release instantly became stable and smooth.

In terms of spellcasting ability, he was now no different from a normal wizard.

"Teaching assistant, I... I... I'm so happy! I'm very grateful to you! I will definitely do all the tasks you assign me well!"

The hunched and gaunt old man Filch expressed his gratitude to Dudley in a trembling voice.

He jumped up excitedly beside Mrs. Norris, the cat with purple fur, waking up Mrs. Norris, who had just fallen asleep not long ago.

Mrs. Norris gave a disdainful look at her incompetent cat servant, moved to another place, and curled up to sleep again.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the d-level regret event - The Lonely Squib!]

[The host has endowed the Squib Filch with spell - casting ability, enabling him to transform into a wizard. The host also personally made a Whomping Willow wand with an initial compatibility as high as 95% for him, completely filling Filch's proud yet fragile self - esteem. Let him finally be able to convince himself, truly integrate into the Hogwarts wizarding community, and get rid of loneliness.]

[This regret has been perfectly resolved.]

[Special reward: One D-rank fusion opportunity]

[Extra reward: One D-rank fusion opportunity]

[Currently, the host has two C-rank, three D-rank, and one E-level opportunity to fuse magic items]

]

"Come on, stop hopping around!"

After Dudley received the reward information from the System, he stopped the excited Filch. "Find some time to sit in on the spell - casting classes and improve your spell - casting ability. Don't disgrace my wand!"

"Sure! Teaching Assistant, sir."

Filch quickly replied meekly.

Then, he timidly glanced at Dudley. Seeing that Dudley didn't seem unhappy, he added,

"Well... Teaching Assistant, sir, there's something I have to confess to you. Actually, when I was a Squib, I've been sitting outside the window intermittently, sitting in on the spell - casting classes and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes for decades.

I was so excited last night that I forgot to tell you about this."

"What?"

Dudley was shocked. This was a development he never expected.

No wonder last night, with his help, Filch was able to relatively easily control his extremely powerful magic power after waking up.

It made sense that a Squib who yearned for magic so much had been secretly watching wizards' classes for years. It was very reasonable.

Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

"Filch, it seems I can give you a bit more work in the future!"
