Chapter 4 Choosing a Wand
Chapter 4 Choosing a Wand
Since it will take some time to make the robes, according to what was said before, Aiwen and Hermione will come out to buy other supplies needed for the start of school, and come back later to pick up the magic robes.
Mrs. Malkin watched the two leave with a very eager look.
I don't know what is going on in her mind.
"Evan, do you feel..." Walking on the streets of Diagon Alley, Hermione hesitated to speak.
"What do you think?" Ivan was a little curious.
"Do you think Mrs. Malkin's eyes on you are a bit too much?"
Heh, two magic robes of the latest style! ! !
Can it be too hot?
These eyes were all exchanged with Jin Gallon, who could blind his eyes.
But even though this is the case, can Ivan answer this way?
Naturally not.
So Ai Wen said with a smile, "That's natural, I'm so obedient, and I speak nicely. Mrs. Malkin likes me very much."
Maybe this is the legendary forced smile.
Listen, this is the sound of heartbreak~
Then, with Ivan's heartbroken voice, the two came all the way to the small shop where they bought wands.
From the outside, this is really a small shop, not only small but also very dilapidated. The gold signboard on the door has fallen off a lot due to the erosion of time. It reads: Ollivander: Well-made since 380 BC wand.
In the dusty window, a magic wand was placed pitifully on a purple cushion.
As they entered the shop there was a tinkling of bells from somewhere at the back of the shop.The store wasn't huge, but it was made smaller by the accumulation of thousands of narrow boxes that almost reached the ceiling.
Probably all wands here?
It is said that each wizard's wand carries its own unique symbol.
I wonder what material my wand will be made of?
Thinking of this, Ivan's heart became a little hot.
"Good afternoon~ two little wizards who came here for the first time." A soft voice suddenly sounded in Aiwen's ear, which startled Aiwen, took a step back and quickly protected Hermione in his arms Behind him, he looked towards the source of the sound.
It was a little old man, his big light-colored eyes looked at Aiwen carefully, and when he saw Aiwen's movements, he comforted him: "Don't be so nervous, I am the owner of this shop, you can call me Mr. Ollivander. "
Excuse me, Mr. Ollivander, my name is Alvin Tash, she is Hermione Granger, I am so nervous. "Ivan smiled awkwardly, and bowed slightly to Mr. Ollivander to apologize.
"There is nothing to be ashamed of. For two young wizards who are exposed to magic for the first time, you are doing very well now." Ollivander smiled softly, "But you have to remember that although wizards need wands to cast magic, but it is the wand that chooses the wizard!"
"The wizard is the root, the wand is just a foreign object, how can a foreign object influence the wizard's thinking?" Ivan hesitated and asked.
Mr. Ollivander was not surprised when he heard Ivan's words. After all, every wizard has every wizard's understanding, but for a little wizard like Ivan who is exposed to magic for the first time, the necessary explanation still needs to be explained. Yes, "It's not left and right, but a choice..."
Ollivander looked at Aiwen up and down, and said, "At least you can't explain it. After some wands are held by the enemy, they will bite the enemy because of their loyalty to the original owner, but they are the same as you. There are still many wizards who think, and many of them are extremely intelligent and powerful wizards, and it is usually difficult for those wizards to choose a wand, so let's give priority to women, Miss Granger, what is your preferred hand?"
"I'm right-handed," Hermione replied immediately.
At the same time, a tape measure with a silver scale flew out of Ollivander's pocket. Under Ollivander's guidance, Hermione raised her arm, and the tape measure automatically flew up, starting from the shoulder To the fingertips, then from the wrist to the elbow, the shoulder to the floor, the knee to the armpit, and finally the head circumference.
The process of choosing a wand for Hermione went smoothly. After Ollivander found a few boxes, she found a wand that belonged to Hermione: it was made of vine wood and contained the heart tendon of a dragon.
Druids considered any plant with a woody stem to be a tree, and vine wood was one such special wand-making wood.Vine wood wands are rare, and are usually chosen for those who have a noble purpose, are farsighted, and will do things that will shock friends who think they know them;
And the heart tendons of dragons can make the most powerful wands, and these wands can cast the most gorgeous magic, so from these two points of view, this wand is really suitable for Hermione.
"I'm also used to using my right hand." Ivan replied immediately when he saw Ollivander looking at him.
The same process followed. After measuring, Ollivander took a box from the shelf, took out the wand inside and handed it to Ivan.
"Try this? Redwood and snake nerves."
Ivan took the wand after hearing the words, and as soon as the wand was held in Ivan's hand, it immediately emitted an unusually dazzling brilliance.
Could this be my magic wand of destiny?
It's just that this snake nerve...
Before Ivan could complain in his heart, the wand in his hand was taken away by Ollivander.
"Perfect, perfect, but just a little bit worse." Ollivander looked at Ivan again, and took another box from the other shelf.
"Try this? Applewood and unicorn hair."
unicorn?
This sounds much better than the one just now. Ivan held the second wand in his hand again, and the top of the wand once again emitted a brilliance like fireworks.
"No, this one doesn't work either, it's just a little bit worse!" Ollivander took the wand from Ivan's hand again.
What happened next was Ivan's nightmare. He tried one wand after another, each of them looked perfect, but each one was only a little bit worse. In the end, Ivan didn't even Some wonder if the old man Ollivander is actually playing with himself.
Is it...
Ivan couldn't help shivering, and Hermione looked at Ivan curiously.
"Picky, very picky!" Ollivander frowned tightly.
To be picky with a hammer, it is you who are talking to yourself from beginning to end, Ai Wen crazily complained in his heart.
"There are so many wands, and each of them is suitable for you." Ollivander looked at the wand that Ivan tried last in his hand, "It really fits what Mr. Tash said before, but That's wrong, there must be a wand that suits you best, Mr Tash."
Hehehehe... You are a liar!You are very bad old man!
"Ah, I remembered that there is also a very special wand. The material of that wand was brought from the ancient East by my grandfather's grandfather. It has been staying here, waiting for its true owner." Olifan De suddenly realized that he walked towards the back of the small shop quickly, looking crazy, "It must be, it must be that magic wand!"
Hearing the tinkling sound in the deepest part of the shop, Aiwen said speechlessly, "I'll just say, how could it be that the wand chooses the wizard, I think anything will do."
Hermione on the side rolled her eyes speechlessly, and silently made a note to Ivan in her heart, which probably meant: wait, this girl will settle the score with you when the time comes.
After a while, the sweaty Ollivander came out from the back of the shop with a very simple and simple box.
"Try this, the rhizome of the thousand-year-old pagoda tree, and the hair of Bai Ze." When Ollivander said the words pagoda tree and Bai Ze, he said the pronunciation of Chinese, so the pronunciation was very strange, so Ai Wenwen could He carefully corrected his pronunciation, and then held the wand in his hand, and suddenly a very strange emotion arose in his heart.
There is quite a feeling that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl finally meet after many years.
This magic wand is the Weaver Girl, and I...
Cowherd?
Evan's eyes widened immediately.
Well, despite this, nothing happened on the surface. Just as Ollivander, who was standing aside, wanted to speak, Ivan immediately said, "Okay, that's it!"
"But this wand didn't resonate with you, it's not suitable for you, Mr. Tash, you need to think carefully! Even change to a wand you've tried before!" Ollivander's attitude was abnormal when it came to the wand. resolute.
"No need, Mr. Ollivander, this wand is very suitable for me." Ivan shook his head lightly, "You don't understand the ancient oriental culture, it is a very good race, and it pays attention to the Confucian doctrine of the mean. Dao, other than that, they are kind, restrained, humble and reserved, just like this magic wand just now, but when necessary, they will exude shocking power, such as...
Now! "
Having said that, Ivan raised his wand suddenly, and a brighter light than all the previous wands combined came from the top of the wand, illuminating the whole shop!
