Vizette examined the broken wand and patiently explained, "Ron, if you just use tape to hold it back together, it's very easy for the wand to backfire."
"Wand... backfire!" Upon hearing this word, Ron's face flushed considerably, and his voice trembled slightly. "So it's possible for the wand to 'backfire' like that?"
Hermione and Harry looked completely bewildered, wondering why Ron had suddenly acted this way.
Harry scratched his head and asked, "What does 'wand backfire' mean? Is it terrible?"
"Of course it's terrifying!" Ron swallowed hard. "Haven't you heard? Wands that have been taped back together get eaten by worms, taped wands burst into uncontrollable flames…"
He recited several slang terms about wand backfire as if reciting doggerel, "I grew up hearing these things, and they're extremely dangerous!"
Hermione and Harry grew up in a modern city, so they found Ron's slang difficult to understand.
Hermione frowned, trying to understand the slang. "So... once you tape your wand back together, you get swallowed by worms and burned? Is that what you mean?"
"Do you know what a short circuit is?" Vizette smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and then explained in another way.
"That kind of situation where the wires are not connected correctly, causing them to suddenly spark, and then the wires will burn and the appliances may be damaged."
Hermione's brow relaxed. "I understand!"
"So it was a short circuit?" Harry exclaimed in realization. "Uncle Vernon tried to fix the electricity himself... and the refrigerator caught fire!"
"Later they even blamed me, saying that it was because all sorts of strange things kept happening around me that caused the refrigerator to burn out."
Ron, however, became curious. "Short circuit? Your appliances have magic and can even catch fire?"
"The magic called technology is the crystallization of their wisdom," Vizette explained. "Electric appliances can achieve the effects of preservation or baking through electricity."
"However, electrical appliances can also cause accidents, with consequences similar to 'wand backfire,' which can also be life-threatening, so you should try them with caution."
Ron scratched his head, seemingly understanding, "That sounds pretty interesting... No wonder Dad's so obsessed..."
Vizette returned to the previous topic, "Ron, could I try to repair this wand?"
Ron's eyes widened, and he asked urgently, "Can you fix it for me?"
For wizards, the wand is a very important tool.
For young wizards, especially those still studying at magic schools, wands are an indispensable item, as they are needed for learning most subjects.
"It's very difficult to completely repair a wand," Vizette shook his head slightly. "I can only try my best to repair it and make it safe, at least to prevent 'wand backfire'."
"That's wonderful!" Ron nodded repeatedly. "Is there anything I can do to help? I'll definitely help you!"
"No need!" Vizette waved his hand. "Repairing wands is interesting in itself and well worth studying."
His main reason for wanting to try to repair the wand was to review his knowledge of wand making and to verify some of his associations.
Learning new things is certainly important, but reviewing what you've learned is also something that needs to be done continuously.
Both Animagus and wand making are wonders of the magical world, and he wants to master them and fully absorb them.
He then asked, "What's your first class on Monday?"
Hermione immediately answered, "Herbology!"
"That's plenty of time." Vizette nodded. "Then I'll take it with me!"
"If you need anything, just call me!" Ron said excitedly. "Even if I don't understand... I'll get Fred and the others involved, and we'll figure it out together!"
"Okay!" Vizette waved his hand and walked towards the moving staircase.
At the corner of the corridor, he ran into an acquaintance again—Draco, still wearing his Quidditch uniform.
When he and Draco made eye contact, Draco's shoulder twitched, as if he had been startled.
Vizette nodded slightly and said, "Draco, good afternoon. Just finished training?"
"Yes! Nimbus 2001 is incredibly fast!" Draco exclaimed, his face still flushed with excitement. "Um… Vizette, do you need a new flying broom? I remember that…"
Perhaps thinking of the conflict that morning, he didn't continue speaking.
"Thank you!" Vizette smiled slightly. "I quite liked the flying broomstick from before. After all, it worked with me for a whole school year, and I got used to it."
Draco's smile became somewhat awkward. "Well, that's true..."
...
Ron watched Vizette leave, then put his arm around Harry's shoulder. "Harry, let's go back and play wizard chess!"
He certainly believed in Vizette's abilities; everything would be fine by Monday!
Harry nodded, seemingly interested.
"Have you finished your homework?" Hermione raised an eyebrow. "I wanted to urge you to do your homework last night, and you all said you'd do it today..."
"If you had come to the library with me to study in the morning, the wand might not have been broken."
"Uh..." Ron and Harry opened their mouths, then stopped goofing around with each other. "How about... we go back to the common room and do our homework now?"
"Yes, I need to learn more too!" Hermione nodded solemnly, her brows furrowed as she pondered something.
"Vizette knows too much, I still need to keep working hard! You all go back first! I'll go borrow a few more books from Madam Pince!"
Ron watched Hermione leave, then looked at Harry with some concern and asked, "She's been in the library for most of the day... and it seems she hasn't even had lunch."
Harry asked, "I have a few packets of Chocolate Frogs left. Would you like to take them to her?"
Ron nodded. "Alright!"
-------------------------------------
Repairing a broken magical circuit in a wand is like tying a rope; it's a task that cultivates meticulousness and patience.
Based on the wand-making process, Vizette redesigned a set of steps for repairing wands.
First, a Reparo was used to restore the wand to its original state, and then the magical circuits within it were reconnected.
During this process, the wand needs to be adjusted, its length shortened, and the wand's internal magic circuitry relaxed.
If the magic circuit inside the wand is too tight, it is easy for the wand to be damaged again, and it will be difficult to repair it a second time.
The repairs went smoothly, and Vizette even managed to say goodnight to Luna before leaving the common room again to begin another night out.
Just as he was free-falling down the moving staircase using the Primal Power: Obscurus (Beginner), he heard a strange sound.
"Tearing..."
It was a voice filled with coldness and malice, and although it only passed by his ears, it made him feel its true meaning.
Vizette was certain that this was definitely not the sound of a Mandrake…
