Harry Potter's Bastard

"So we're going to sit on this thing?"

Standing in the courtyard at the gate of the castle, Solim looked at the carriage in the courtyard with a "you are teasing me" expression, and the carriage looked very imposing - after all, it belonged to the Selwyn family, and it was shabby if you wanted to. Pulling the cart were twelve black winged horses, but not of Solim's familiar breed.

"Any opinions?" Elrond didn't even look at Solim, but at the carriage with distraction, "You know, I've only done it once when I'm that old." "

"Okay. Solim looked at his sister on the side, who was staring at the horses.

"Are we really going to fly across the Atlantic in this thing?" Sylna looked at her brother, "How long are we going to stay on this?"

Sylna's question, Solim, the elder brother, can't answer it. He could only look at his grandfather like his sister.

"Almost two days. Elrond said with his hands behind his back: "There may be a stop somewhere along the way." As for why it was used this way...... I think you two should be able to figure it out. "

It's nothing more than etiquette or pomp. Solim was the least disdainful of such things, and in his opinion, efficiency was more important than anything else. If you have two days to go, you might as well get used to the new wand.

Solim found out when he got his hand on the snake wand that things were good, but they were too difficult to use.

What is the preciousness of the snake wand? It is precious in its near-infinite ability to carry magic - at least the wizard can't touch the bottom line of the magic that snake wood can carry. The good thing about the snake wand is that it can inject magic at will when casting a spell without destroying the effect of the spell itself. But the downside is also the ability to inject magic at will.

Wizards who have the ability to use snakewood wands are the kind of wizards with deep magic and top magic control. Although Solim far surpasses his peers in the control of his magic, and even better than many ordinary adult wizards, he still struggles to cast spells with a snake wand.

This is because using a snake wand requires one more spell casting step than a regular wand - cutting off the mana supply.

A normal wand casts a spell: hold the spell and use it.

Casting a spell with a snake wand is like this: hold the spell, then actively cut the magic connection with the wand, while at the same time ensuring the integrity of the spell that has not yet been activated, and finally use the spell.

As the saying goes, "there are gains and losses", the snake wand can make the effect of a spell be "infinitely" magnified, and it will naturally be owed elsewhere.

Solim found that if he wanted to use his snake wand to reach the speed at which he used to cast spells, he would have to work hard - just like he had done when he was in Sculle, even practicing swinging his staff in the pit.

What spells, when to cut off the mana supply, and how to distribute the mana supply of each spell in different situations...... Now that you have the Snake Wand, you have to start thinking about all these things that you don't need to think too much about. The use of the snake wand was so delicate that the wizard himself had to control how each spell distributed its power. This would never happen with a normal wand.

It's not that Solim doesn't have confidence in himself, but he is pessimistic that he may develop frozen shoulder before he reaches adulthood......

The interior of the carriage was naturally enchanted with a blanket stretching charm, and as soon as you entered, there was a living room, and the corridor on the second floor circled the inside of the carriage, and finally connected to the floor of the living room on the wall near the coachman.

"You two - live there. Elrond pointed to the two doors in the middle of the second floor.

"Who else will come with you in the carriage this time?" asked Solim.

It stands to reason that Solim should be the protagonist of the engagement, but he was never involved in it. The formulation of the plan, the selection of personnel, the selection of gifts...... And so on, all of this has nothing to do with him, it's all done by the family. He didn't even know who was traveling with him.

"Two coachmen, and then the three of us. Elrond took the lead up the stairs, "There were five of them. "

"So everyone else is going to pass by moving, right?" Solim's face twitched, "Can't you just let the empty carriage pass, and then everyone else moves?"

"You think it's beautiful," Elrond snorted, "rest assured, there won't be a little bump in the carriage, I can assure you." "

Solim and Sylna looked at each other, the last time they had seen such a carriage was during the Triwizard Tournament, which was Beauxbatons' carriage. Regina said that when the carriage was flying, it sometimes felt a noticeable tremor. This was especially true when they landed, and when they first arrived at Hogwarts, many of the Beauxbatons students were shaken and staggered.

In addition to the three grandchildren of Elrond, there are also two house-elves in the entire carriage, who are responsible for taking care of the sorcerers' daily life. Of course, during the two days that Solim was in the carriage, as long as they were not specially summoned, they would not appear in front of the wizard at all.

The interior of the room was very pleasant to look at, and Solim didn't quite understand the things, but he could still tell the difference between good and bad. If nothing else, the layout of the furniture here is more comfortable than my bedroom on Fair Isle.

"Brother!" Sylna's voice came from outside the open door, and Solim hurried over to see what was going on.

"What's wrong?"

"Look!" said Sylna, who was lying on the windowsill.

It turned out that the carriage was already moving, and Solim pouted. He didn't expect Sylna to have such a big reaction.

"Haven't you ever been in a car, and it's worth all the fuss?"

Solim had worked as a Muggle taxi a few times when they were in downtown London. Sylna also privately asked Solim if he could get one, but unfortunately, Solim didn't have an identity certificate at all, so naturally he couldn't get a driver's license. But it's not impossible to illegally own a car - look at Arthur Weasley, he can get a Ford.

But well...... Seeing Selwyn Castle from above is truly an experience that you have never experienced before. Solim came to the window and looked out at the scenery - a gloomy, oppressive castle.

One thing to say, the shape of Selwyn Castle is actually really good, and the garden in front of the castle and the road lined with statues are indeed eye-catching, but the atmosphere is too weird. It's a rare sunny day, but there's no sun shining over Selwyn Castle.

Solim had never figured out why he had made Selwyn Castle look like this, and outsiders could tell it wasn't a good place to be.

Looking out the window, Solim suddenly felt a confusing sense of incongruity.
