Hogwarts Kryptonian

Chapter 4 Ollivander

"I told you, just use the wand I gave you. There is no need to buy it."

"You didn't even tell me where you got that wand, so I don't dare use it."

"Meow! Can I still steal it? The wand knows its owner! The stolen wand cannot be used! You are also strange. You buy second-hand textbooks, second-hand robes, and even second-hand suitcases. I already have a wand, but I still have to spend money to buy a new one!”

Chris complained, but still couldn't stop Lu Yun from opening the door.

"Hello?" Lu Yunkai greeted the old man in the store who was dressed in fine clothes, with a wrinkled face and a kind smile.

In the past hour or so, Lu Yunkai first exchanged the parchment into a thousand gold galleons at Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Then with this huge sum of money, he basically bought the things requested in the notice in Diagon Alley. All bought.

By the way, he also used the system to check prices in Diagon Alley and found that new products in Diagon Alley were generally about 30% more expensive than what he bought in the system.

The most exaggerated among them are the broomsticks that wizards can ride on, with a premium of more than 50%. The latest broomstick is more than twice as expensive to buy with cash than to buy it in the system...

But second-hand items are about 10% cheaper than buying them in the system.

So he bought all second-hand goods with the attitude of "even if he doesn't use them in the future, he can sell them to the system for recycling."

Of course, this does not include the most important item for a wizard, the wand.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

So he came to the most popular and expensive Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley.

"Little guest, please wait a moment." The old man, Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop, nodded to Lu Yunkai.

A short boy who was already standing in front of the counter in the room turned his head and smiled sheepishly at Lu Yunkai.

He was holding a wand in his hand, and his black hair was a mess.

The wand shop was also a mess.

"Well, this wand obviously doesn't work. Let me take a look..." Ollivander rummaged through the shelves, pulled out a long cardboard box, took out a wand from it, and handed it to the boy.

The young man took it gingerly and waved it.

boom! Bang!

The entire wand shop seemed to have been detonated, with things flying everywhere.

Lu Yunkai, who was standing at the door, was startled.

"No! Not even this."

Ollivander seemed to feel very sorry for his choice, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the wand shop being messed up by that boy.

Sure enough, expensive stores are expensive for a reason, and the service is good.

Lu Yunkai silently gave Ollivander a thumbs up.

This time, Ollivander looked for the wand for a long time.

After wandering in front of the messy shelves for a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and with a look of enlightenment, he took out a lavender wand box from the top of the shelf, with a weird smile. When he arrived in front of the young man, he handed him the wand inside.

The boy took the wand, and a golden light flashed.

"Meow! Did you see it? This is the wand recognizing its owner. It happened when you just picked up the wand. I really don't know what you are doing here!" Chrissy interjected.

"Sure enough. I should have guessed it a long time ago." A smile bloomed on Ollivander's face, "Yes, this wand should have been yours."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander, I don't understand..." The boy seemed worried.

"The phoenix that gave your wand a tail feather also gave that person's wand a feather. That person did some terrible things. Well, it was indeed terrible, but it was also amazing." Olivan De said to the young man seriously.

Just when the boy was still about to ask something, there was a knock on the door behind Lu Yunkai, and a loud voice sounded outside.

"Harry! Are you okay?"

Lu Yunkai turned around and looked, what a guy!

A giant who was probably three meters tall and had a big beard on his face was knocking on the door of the store. He was also carrying a birdcage in his hand, which contained an owl with snow-white feathers.

"What a beautiful owl..." Lu Yunkai muttered.

"Meow! What's the use of being beautiful! It's useless except sending letters!" Chris complained.

Seeing the giant outside the door, the boy quickly took out a handful of gold galleons from his pocket, paid for the wand, and left the wand shop.

"Sorry for wasting your time." The young man named Harry said politely as he passed by Lu Yunkai.

"It's okay. Congratulations on buying a good wand." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head. He saw a scar that looked like lightning on the boy's head.

"Thank you." Harry nodded and walked out of the wand shop.

After the young man left, Ollivander went directly to Lu Yunkai without any nonsense, took out a ruler from his sleeve, and measured it for Lu Yunkai.

Height, arm length, shoulder width.

It was even more meticulous than when Lu Yunkai just bought a robe in a second-hand robe store.

"My little guest, you are very tall!"

Soon, Ollivander's "measurement" was over, and he took out a wand from his sleeve and waved it.

The pieces of paper and wand boxes that had just fallen to the ground returned to their places one after another.

Ollivander then picked out two wands from the neatly decorated shelves.

"This is an eleven-inch wand with a unicorn tail hair core and an alder wood." Ollivander introduced the wand and handed it to Lu Yunkai.

The moment Lu Yunkai took the wand, there was a loud bang and a pile of paper exploded on the counter not far away.

[Estimate: three galleons. 】

A shadow flashed.

"No." Ollivander quickly took it back and handed over another one, "Eleven and a quarter inches, the tendon core of the fire dragon, grapevine wood."

This time, a strong wind blew.

Lu Yunkai finally understood why the store was in such a mess when he first came in.

"Well, this won't work either." Ollivander shook his head.

However, there was no impatience on his face, instead there was a faint smile of excitement.

"Twelve inches, ptarmigan feathers, pine... well, no."

"Eleven and two-thirds inches, sinew of birds and snakes, oak... don't swing! This won't work!"

"Ten and four-fifths inches, Zuowu's mane, holly... well, that's still not right."

One wand after another, Ollivander handed it to Lu Yunkai and then took it back.

Repeatedly.

But Ollivander was not upset because he could never find the right one.

On the contrary, every time he went back to look for the wand after a failure, he would rub his hands happily. The excited expression on his face showed that he seemed to like this "game" very much.

In this way, the wand shop has been sorted out four times, and Lu Yunkai still hasn't found a wand worth waving.

Ollivander took back the twentieth wand he had passed, this time not rushing back to the shelf to get a new one.

Instead, he looked at Lu Yunkai, thoughtfully.

"Or is it the red one just now? At least nothing strange happened when I held it." Lu Yun was a little happy.

Some of the wands we just bought were valued at only one galleons, while others were as high as more than twenty galleons, but in this shop, they were all sold for seven galleons.

Since he no longer expected to buy a suitable wand, he might as well pick one that he could resell for money. The red one was the most expensive one he had just touched, with an estimated value of twenty-six galleons.

"There is no connection between you and that wand." Ollivander shook his head, "I was wondering, maybe you bought a wand somewhere?"

"...I didn't buy it. I once picked up a branch, and something wonderful happened at that time." Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris on the suitcase next to him.

"Meow! What did I say! Huh!" The cat raised its head with a proud look on its face.

"Oh? Isn't this... Chris?" Ollivander, who had been concentrating on helping Lu Yunkai choose a wand, seemed to notice the cat and laughed, "What, you have a new owner?"

"Meow." Chrissy nodded.

"Is the branch you picked up still there? Can you let me see it?" Ollivander turned his attention back to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai nodded and took out the long branch from the box.

Ollivander took it, gently stroked the staff, and then tried to break it.

"Twelve and one-half inches, black walnut, no elasticity, the core of the staff is... Sniff's tendon? How could anyone use such a thing as the core of the staff??" Ollivander looked curious.

However, he still returned the branch to Lu Yunkai.

"Can you wave your wand so I can see?" Ollivander asked.

"Okay." Lu Yunkai waved his hand.

A golden light flashed.

A clanging sound sounded behind the counter.

"This...hahahahaha!" Ollivander laughed.

Just then, the door to the wand shop opened.

A rather handsome-looking middle-aged man walked in with a girl.

The girl had long brown hair that was slightly curly. She was not short, and her fair skin was even more dazzling than her hair. She had a pair of big silver eyes, looking at the store curiously.

"Ollivander? What are you laughing at?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Ollivander laughing wildly there.

"Oh! Lovegood? Are you here to buy a wand for your daughter?" Ollivander finally stopped smiling, "Your daughter is also going to Hogwarts?"

"Next year. I want to teach her some magic first, and save her from having to use magic to open the door for her every day. Anyway, there is no chance of an Obscurus in my family." The middle-aged man patted his daughter with a doting smile. head.

"You are still as outrageous as ever! Aren't you afraid that the Ministry of Magic will get you into trouble?" Ollivander glanced at the little girl.

"Those people don't bother to care about me. What were you laughing at just now?"

"It's nothing, this kid's wand is very interesting."

"Oh? Really?" The middle-aged man looked curiously at Lu Yunkai, who was stunned.

"Mr. Ollivander, I don't understand something." Lu Yunkai was a little embarrassed.

"This wand of yours is something special." Ollivander's eyes fell on Lu Yunkai's hand, "You just waved the wand, and the money in my counter will fly to you."

"Money??" Lu Yunkai's expression suddenly became weird. He wanted to laugh but dared not.

"Meow! I told you, you don't have to save money, you will have many opportunities to make money in the future!" Chrissy, who jumped onto Lu Yunkai's shoulder again, raised her head proudly.

"This isn't called making money, it's called stealing, right?" Lu Yunkai glared at Chris.

"Meow! Can a wizard's matter be called stealing?"

"Are you talking to your pet?" The girl next to the middle-aged man looked at the cat on Lu Yunkai's shoulder curiously, "Ah! This doesn't seem to be a cat! Father! This is not what I mentioned in the Quibbler last year..."

"Soul-eating lynx." The middle-aged man nodded, "I don't know where this kid got it from. I thought they were all extinct!"

"Meow! You just became extinct!" Chris glared at the middle-aged man.

"So you're not a cat!" Lu Yunkai looked around Chris, "Then why are you meowing all the time?"

"I think I am, then I am. Okay, it's getting late, let's go find a place to rest!"

"Oh." Lu Yunkai nodded, then looked at Ollivander, "Sorry, Mr. Ollivander, for disturbing you."

"It's okay, I'm glad to see such an interesting wand." Ollivander said with a smile on his face, "If it didn't exclude you from having another wand, I would be happy to use a few wands. Exchanged with you."

"Meow! Don't even think about it!" Chris jumped off Lu Yunkai's shoulder and walked out of the wand shop.

Lu Yunkai bowed to Ollivander awkwardly, and then quickly followed him out.

"Did he find this wand for you? No wonder!!" Ollivander's laughter rang out behind Lu Yunkai again...
