Harry Potter: I'm an Exemplary Student

Chapter 4: The Wand Chooses the Wizard



Anyway, Kyle still had to buy the wand, so he carefully opened the door and walked in.

Diana and Chris did not follow them, probably because they thought it would take a long time to buy a wand, so after learning that Kyle was going to Ollivander first, they went to Gringotts.

The inside store is much better than the outside. Although it still looks old and the items are messy, it is at least much cleaner.

Along with the crisp sound of wind chimes, a head with a gray beard and hair appeared behind the counter without knowing when.

"Good afternoon, kid."

Ollivander looked at Kyle and asked, "Did you come alone?"

"Yes." Kyle asked in confusion, "Is there any problem?"

Ollivander shook his head and said, "No, of course not."

As he spoke, Kyle vaguely saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Strange, why Ollivander be disappointed when a customer comes to the door?

"I must have read it wrongly." Kyle shook his head and didn't think much about it.

"Okay, little wizard."

Ollivander came out from behind the counter and asked, "So kid, can you tell me your name?"

"Kyle, Chopper." Kyle said quickly.

"Chopper..." Ollivander was slightly startled and said, "Then Mr. Chris is..."

"My father." Kyle said.

"Oh, of course..." Ollivander subconsciously glanced outside the store but quickly retracted his gaze and explained, "I mean, after all, in the British and magical world, there are not many people with the surname Chopper. See."

I'm sure this old man is indeed disappointed!

Kyle saw clearly that just when he said that Chris was his father, the disappointment in Ollivander's eyes almost overflowed.

Not only that, he also started muttering in his mouth. The voice was too soft, Kyle didn't hear it clearly, but he didn't care.

At this time, Kyle's mind was full of his own wand, so he didn't have the mood to care about it.

After announcing his name, Kyle took the initiative and said, "Mr. Ollivander, I am right-handed."

After speaking, he stretched out his arms straight so that Ollivander could measure his height and arms.

He knows the process here very well.

After measuring the data, you should choose the wand, which is also the most time-consuming part.

In Kyle's opinion, even Ollivander would have a hard time finding a wand that matches the little wizard at a glance. He can only choose a rough range and then another.

Kyle is ready.

And trying out wands is one of the things Kyle wants to do, just like moving trash cans.

However, Ollivander's following words confused Kyle.

"Oh, kid, if it's you, you don't need to."

Next, without measuring his height or asking for any details, Kyle just watched Ollivander walk into the counter, quickly pull out a box from the most conspicuous position, then open it and push it to Kyle.

The movements were completed in one go, without any hesitation in between.

"What are you waiting for? Give it a try!"

Seeing that Kyle didn't move, Ollivander couldn't help but urge.

"Huh? Oh, okay." Kyle came back to his senses and subconsciously picked up the wand in the box.

Gray and black, the appearance is very smooth, without any extra lines or accessories except the necessary handles.

It looks pretty popular.

Kyle held the wand, and without waiting for any movement, a burst of white light spurted out from the tip of the wand, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye. The originally dark and closed shop suddenly became much brighter, as if it were in the room. There is a skylight on the top.

"Okay, great."

Ollivander looked very excited. Without waiting for Kyle to ask, he said to himself, "Thirteen and one-half inches, cedar wood, phoenix feathers. I have to say, this is a very magical combination."

"A magical combination?" Kyle was a little confused.

"Yes, magical."

Ollivander looked at Kyle and explained patiently, "Cedar wands usually choose wizards who are wise and have keen insight. These wizards are naturally calm, and every choice they make is carefully considered. Result. As my father once said, you can never fool a man with a cedar wand, and I agree."

"Therefore, people who own cedar wands tend to prefer unicorn tail feathers that are stable and loyal, while phoenix tail feathers are a bit too aggressive."

"In fact, I made and sold a total of thirty-six cedar wands, thirty of them with unicorn tail hair cores, five with dragon heart tendons, and the last one..."

Ollivander said nothing, just smiled, and pointed at Kyle.

Kyle was puzzled, "But sir, didn't you say that these two materials are not suitable to be used together? Then why are you still making it?"

"The material is not suitable, so it is not made? No, no, no, this is wrong. The wand chooses the wizard, child. Every wand will choose its destined master after its birth, just like they..."

Ollivander pointed to the hill-like wand box behind him and said with a smile, "The reason why they are still here is not because they are bad, but because the fate has not come yet. Their owner is just waiting for them."

Olivander paused and continued, "In addition, the completely contradictory wand body and wand core can perfectly play their respective roles in the hands of a wizard, which is also the most fascinating part of wand learning."

"Just like the wand in your hand, your father Chris has tried it, and your mother Diana has also tried it, but they are just a little bit short, just a little bit."

"So after learning the news of your birth, I have been waiting for this day. It is perfect, isn't it?"

Uh... yeah.

Kyle nodded subconsciously.

The feeling of being able to use fingers like an arm in the palm of his hand really made him a little obsessed, and he naturally couldn't let go of the wand in his hand.

Although the process was a little different from what he expected, the result was still good, and Kyle was delighted with his wand.

"Then kid, seven Galleons."

Olivander smiled even happier.

"Okay." Kyle took out the seven Galleons that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the counter.

The first wand for a new student is usually seven Galleons, which is a very favorable price in the wizarding world. Still, this discount is only applicable to young wizards who have just entered school.

After paying, Ollivander bowed slightly and watched Kyle leave. Then, he turned to look at another young wizard who had just entered the store and the adult following him.

"Oh, see you again, Mr. Thomas, eleven inches, hawthorn wood..."
