International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 5 Magic Wand
After turning around a few corridors and climbing various strange stairs, Lu Ren was brought to a very ugly stone statue.

"The gargoyles, they can talk to people, and at the same time guard the entrance of a specific room. You must tell them the correct password to enter. Behind this one is my office." Dumbledore explained to Lu Ren. "Ferrero."

The gargoyle suddenly became active. It jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in two, revealing a spiral staircase.

? ? ?What the hell is Ferrero!
"This is the name of a chocolate shop in the Muggle world. Their chocolates are quite good, no different from the chocolates in the wizarding world. I still have a little share in this shop! This chocolate shop was established in 1946 At that time, I just made a small fortune, and I had a little spare money, so I invested in a few candy stores-they didn't disappoint me!"

For a moment, Lu Ren didn't know where to start complaining.It seems that Dumbledore has far more contact with the non-magical world than he looks like, and there is no such description in the original book.

Walking into the office, Lu Ren took a look at the room. It was a spacious circular room, filled with all kinds of wonderful little sounds, reminiscent of ASMR.On the table with slender legs, there are many strange and weird silverware, spinning, emitting small puffs of smoke.

The walls are covered with portraits of old headmasters, male and female, all snoring softly in their respective photo frames.Lu Ren thought with evil humor: I have to find a chance to look behind the portrait of Principal Phineas, maybe there will be hidden items like the Hogwarts title deed...

There was also a huge table with claw-shaped legs.On a shelf behind the table, there is a tattered and crumpled wizard hat. Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is a holy relic of Hogwarts - the scorching witch hat, ah no , the sorting hat.

Dumbledore walked behind the table and sat on a high stool. He waved his hand, and a round stool appeared in front of Lu Ren, "Lu Ren, sit down." Then he snapped his fingers, Two dinner plates, a jug and two goblets appeared on the table.

"Roast lamb chops with black pepper sauce. The main food is rice with a little curry. I hope you can get used to it. I originally wanted the elves to cook Chinese dishes, but unfortunately they can only cook a little Indian food." Dumbledore said at the same time Then, he conjured up two cups of pudding and a plate of chocolates as if by magic.

"Would you like to try some desserts? It's only thanks to you that I can try these desserts."

"Thank you very much." Lu Ren took a piece of chocolate from the plate and tasted it in his mouth.

At this moment, Dumbledore took out another small leather bag and handed it to Lu Ren.

The leather bag was heavy in the hand, and when it was shaken, it made a tinkling sound of metal colliding.

"Advance your salary for a week. You need to go to Diagon Alley to buy a wand and textbooks. Some trivial matters require you to have a little foundation in magic."

"Thank you." Lu Ren looked forward to what material his wand would be made of.Personally speaking, it is probably a combination of bamboo and panda fur?After all, bamboo and pandas go well with people from the Central Plains.

"By the way, Professor McGonagall will accompany you to Diagon Alley later. You need someone to guide you." Dumbledore said after Lu Ren had finished eating.

------

Soon, the two arrived at Diagon Alley.As described in various works of previous lives, they entered the core stronghold of the British wizards through the Leaky Cauldron.

Without any accidents or conflicts, the two arrived at the destination of their trip: Ollivander's stick shop in such an ordinary way.

It is extremely difficult to form a monopoly in various industries in the wizarding world.

On the way, Lu Ren took a look. In a small Diagon Alley, there were actually three shops selling clothes: Mrs. Mojin's robe store, a second-hand robe store, and a tailor-made clothing store.There is also a Fengya wizard clothing store in Hogsmeade, which is still a famous clothing store.It can be seen that the competition in the magic world in the British wizarding world is fierce.

The magic world is also introverted!But they all have a big house to live in, a big oven to use, and cheap fried chicken to eat.This is happier than 80% of the people in the world.

However, there are two industries in the wizarding world that are exceptions.One is Gringotts, and the other is the wand shop of the Ollivander family, which has been making wands since 380 BC.

Gringotts is the only financial institution in the wizarding world, the only large chain bank.What is even more shocking is that this kind of institution, which is related to the lifeline of the national economy, is completely controlled by goblins!
incredible!

Lu Ren felt that wizards really didn't have the slightest idea of ​​finance.From the perspective of Gringotts, people who don't know think that the goblin wars were won by the goblins!

One day, I, Lu Ren, will definitely establish my own financial institution that belongs to wizards!Lu Ren secretly made up his mind, and he planned to go to Dumbledore's place to find out what happened in two days.

As for wands, the Ollivanders are also amazing.What is the concept of 380 BC?At that time, China was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!The famous Wu Qi Reform started that year.

"But this store is really broken..." Lu Ren looked at the small and dilapidated store in front of him, complaining in his heart.The peeled gold signboard on the shop door clearly reads: "Ollivander: Making Wands Since 380 BC".

Without these words, Lu Ren would definitely not be able to find this wand shop.

"Ollivander must have a common language with those craftsmen in Japan..." Lu Ren complained wildly in his heart, but his expression remained the same.

　I said some long-winded words, I hope you will not be impatient, I will write this book in detail, and I hope that someone can read this story with me in the end.There are some small bugs in the original book, I will make adjustments for them.Finally, please recommend tickets and collections!
