I, Hogwarts Second Week

After Cedric, there is Viktor Krum.

Krum slumped his round shoulders and walked toward Mr. Ollivander listlessly with his splayed feet.

He thrust his wand away and stood frowning, his hands in the pockets of his robes.

It was obvious that he and Mr. Ollivander were in the same boat now.

"Well!" Mr. Ollivander said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Grigovitch's product." He said flatly.

"Gregovich is an excellent wandmaker, although I don't entirely agree with his style, though."

Mr. Ollivander did not continue. Grigovitch is one of the two major wand manufacturers in Europe, as famous as Ollivander.

"Very good!" He raised his wand, turning it over and over before his eyes, examining it carefully.

"Horbeam wood contains the heart tendons of a dragon, right?" He glanced at Krum, who nodded. Mr. Ollivander continued, "Much thicker than what people usually see. , very stiff, ten and a quarter inches, flying birds!”

The hornbeam wand made a loud bang, like a pistol being fired.

A flock of birds flapped their wings and flew out from the head of the wand, flying through the open window into the pale sunlight.

"Very good!" said Mr. Ollivander, handing the wand back to Krum.

"Then Miss Stewart."

Hearing this, Koyatel walked over arrogantly from the corner where she stood alone.

Then she took out her wand.

"Oh! This is it?" Mr. Ollivander's eyes lit up and he took the wand from her, "American gum wood."

It was an elegant and calm wand with a unique large parabolic pattern (mountain pattern).

"The core of the staff is——" Mr. Ollivander frowned slightly, "If I guessed correctly, this is the horn of a long-horned water snake!"

"Yes!" Koyatel replied coldly.

"Twelve feet long and covered with scars, I don't think this is your wand, kid!"

"It belonged to one of my ancestors!"

Hearing this, Mr. Ollivander changed his voice and said seriously: "I must emphasize that it is the wand that chooses the wizard. Even if it is a member of the family who is related by blood, the wand cannot be passed down as an inheritance.

Haven't you noticed that every time you cast a spell, there will be a slight sense of interruption? "

"This can be overcome." Koyatel was unmoved. She stood there, like an island isolated from the world.

"Overcome?" Mr. Ollivander frowned slightly. He raised the wand in his hand, held it under Coatl's eyes, pointed at a small crack on it and said, "This wand is rejecting you. If you use it forcefully, It will cause damage to the wand, and I don't think it will last long."

Koatl didn't comment, she just took her wand back from Mr. Ollivander, then turned around silently, isolating herself again.

Seeing this, Mr. Ollivander could only sigh slightly. As a staff maker, all he could do was warn. After all, he couldn't snatch the wand from the wizard.

Alas - sometimes you have to choose to respect the fate of others and the fate of the wand.

"Okay, Miss Granger, it's your turn."

The last one is Hermione.

It is understandable that her wand is the shiniest among all the people present. This may be related to her Muggle family background, so she takes very good care of her wand.

"That's my product again!" said Mr. Ollivander. "Vinewood, dragon's nerve nine and three-quarter inches. Oh! You've taken good care of your wand, kid. That's to be commended."

Looking at the joy on Ollivander's face, Owen inexplicably remembered a sentence, "Treat your wand like a lover?"

"."

Hearing the sound, Mr. Ollivander turned to look at him, his good mood less than half!

However, after thinking about what Owen said a few times, I realized that although it was vulgar, it was not unreasonable.

"A lover cannot stay with a wizard forever." Mr. Ollivander said flatly, "But that's what it means."

Then, he turned back to Hermione's wand, "Druids classify any plant with a wooden stem as a tree. The wand made of grapevine wood has such special properties, so I happily use Druids." The ancient tradition of dividing them into trees.

Grapevine wood wands are quite special. I have studied this type of wand with great interest, and I found that almost all owners of grapevine wood wands have lofty ambitions, extraordinary foresight, and make people who think they know everything have nothing to say. people.

Grapevine wands are strongly attracted to their hidden personality and are more responsive to their owners than any wand made of wood.

The wand made from the heart nerve of the fire dragon is the most powerful and casts the most dazzling spell.

Wands with this core have a greater learning ability than other wands. Although they can accept changing owners if the new owner wins over the original wand owner.

Dragon-based wands are often the most susceptible to the dark arts.

However, they do not gravitate towards the dark arts of their own volition.

It is also the most accident-prone of the three types of wand cores and has the most unstable performance. Mr. Ollivander said calmly.

Just gradually, his gaze became deeper and deeper, "Are you practicing some very powerful spell recently?"

Hearing the sound, Hermione was startled, then nodded, "Yes sir."

"Then I must warn you, be careful of falling into the abyss of black magic. This wand has some signs that I can't understand. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I have never seen it before.

The fire dragon's heart nerves will have unstable performance when trying powerful spells, which may cause you to spend more time practicing. "

He frowned, "You are destined to become a big shot, Miss Granger. This can be seen from your wand, but if you want to go further on the road of magic, then I would suggest that you change your magic wand." A magic wand.”

"No, it's very easy to use. I like it very much." Hermione took back her wand.

Put it back in your pocket.

"Okay, if you insist!" Mr. Ollivander did not force Miss Granger. The wand's talent is not fixed when it is made. It will slowly change according to the owner's habit of performing magic. Become more suitable for him.

This is why wizards are so much more comfortable using their wands.

Miss Granger's wand had obviously undergone this change, but for a moment he didn't know whether it was pointing towards the sun or hell.

After checking the wands for the five warriors, Mr. Ollivander stood up slowly. He nodded towards Dumbledore and turned to leave.

There is something dirty in the castle!

He doesn't want to stay here.

At this time, Dumbledore suddenly spoke. He looked at Owen and said, "Show Mr. Ollivander your wand too."

Hearing this, Owen nodded.

Of course the old principal would say this.

What should I say - because his wand has undergone some small changes.

He walked over, took his wand out of the lining pocket of his robes, and handed it to Mr. Ollivander.

"This?" Mr. Ollivander stopped and took Owen's wand, his eyes flashing with confusion.

"Is this a recent change?"

"Since half a year." Owen said calmly.

In fact, something had changed about his wand since he began to master ancient magic.

At first, Owen just noticed that his wand seemed to become translucent.

But then, over the past few months, he was surprised to find that some kind of crystals had begun to grow on his wand. The crystals had eaten away part of the wood. Now his wand was half crystals and half Wooden.

The two sides were entangled together in a spiral, which looked very stunning.

Changes like this naturally attracted Owen's attention, but his wand's spellcasting had not seen any changes in the past few months, and even - he felt that the magic power was smoother, so he didn't care about it. .

"I remember, this is elder, phoenix tail feathers, fifteen inches long!" He frowned, "Elder is the rarest wand wood, and has a reputation of bringing great misfortunes. Using an elder wand is more expensive than using other wands. Trickier.

They have powerful magical powers, but they disdain to accompany their masters who are no better than others. Most wizards who hold an elder wand are famous throughout the world, regardless of how long they have held it. "

"But-" Suddenly Mr. Ollivander paused.

"As a magical prop that penetrates the magic power, the most taboo thing about a wand is that the center of the wand is broken. This will not only destroy the core of the wand, but also weaken the transparency of the magic power. In ancient times, there were wand makers who experimented by pouring mithril into the center of the wand as a magic weapon. The most active metal material in the world's magic wand. Its addition not only does not make the wand more transparent, but also causes frequent interruptions.

Therefore, most of the wands made by me do not have too complicated patterns on the surface, and are mainly flat. Their biggest function is to protect the wand from breaking. "

He suddenly waved his wand, but nothing happened.

Other people's wands can cast spells normally in Mr. Ollivander's hand.

Even if the Elder Wand is in the hands of another person, it can still cast spells, but without its approval, it cannot be used to its full potential.

But Owen's wand -

"This -" A trace of surprise flashed in Mr. Ollivander's eyes: "Are you sure this wand can still be used?"

It can be clearly seen from the cane that the crystal has eaten away at the core of the wand. Normally, this wand is useless. It was impossible to cast a spell, it was almost indistinguishable from a tree branch by the roadside.

But - in Owen's hands.

He stepped forward and took hold of his wand as a demonstration. He gently lowered his right hand, and a silver half-moon-shaped light emerged from the end of the wand.

"Strange! It's really strange!" Mr. Ollivander said excitedly, "Did you know? This kind of wand was recorded in the notes of my great-grandfather, perhaps my great-grandfather.

A semi-crystalline wand that can only be used by its owner. "

"Oh?" Hearing this, Owen became interested. He could probably guess who it was, and it was nothing more than the heir of ancient magic from the previous generation.

"It was a powerful yew wand with thirteen inches of unicorn tail hair that once belonged to a wizarding hero."

"Wizard hero?" Owen's eyelids twitched, this evaluation is not low.

Those who can win the title of wizard hero are all for saving the wizarding world from fire and water. For example, Theseus Scamander, senior brother of Newt, was famous for his impressive achievements in the first wizarding war (from his grandfather) Brush's exploits) were made war heroes by wizards.

Characters like this will definitely go down in history.

But - Owen has never heard of anyone receiving the title of 'Wizard Hero'.

It’s not written in the history of magic!

"You won't know her." Mr. Ollivander saw the confusion on the faces of Owen and the other young wizards.

Then, with a look of regret, he said, "But she helped the wizard win a war."

"What war?" Miss Granger, who was curious at the side, came over.

She loved the feeling of uncovering the unknown history of wizards.

Especially after the World Cup, when she learned that "History of Magic" did not fully record the history of wizards, she became even more interested in collecting such stories.

This helps her gain a deeper understanding of the magical world.

"The first goblin war, of course, people now prefer to call it the first goblin rebellion!"

"Rebellion? War!" Owen muttered it several times, and soon he tasted the conspiracy behind these two words. Changing war to rebellion not only reduced the influence of the actual war in terms of written expression, but also easily Cutting down on someone's achievements, after all, is just a rebellion, it sounds very light.

"She did something that was taboo in the eyes of wizards at the time, so that her achievements were concealed by the Ministry of Magic. My ancestor's notes also kept it secret. The only thing that can be confirmed is that after the war, she suddenly died in the world. Evaporated and was never seen again.

And her wand was a wand that was originally normal but later turned into a semi-crystalline wand. "

"Then do you know her name?" Hermione asked curiously.

As long as you know the name, no matter how difficult it is, you can always find some clues.

"Oh! Let me think about it!" Mr. Ollivander raised his head and thought for a moment, "I know her last name, a pure-blood family wizard.

oh! I remembered, her name was Shani, Shani Maeve Weasley. "

"Weasley?" Owen and Hermione looked shocked at the same time.

"From Ron's family?"

"Yes, she is a Weasley."

"This -" For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Owen's mind. Vaguely, he seemed to have caught something, but the feeling disappeared in an instant.

All in all, this news gave him a whole new direction regarding the Weasley family treasure.

"Shaney Weasley?" Miss Granger also said the name.

She had never heard of the name.

They had written a historical paper on the Goblin Rebellion before, and Hermione frequently looked up information in the library.

But - this name.

Hermione swore she hadn't seen it in any book.

If what Mr. Ollivander said is true.

So - how could the wizard hero who could end a war end up in obscurity? What happened in the middle?

Thinking about it, Hermione turned her head and glanced at Owen.

Could this Weasley be related to Weasley's treasure?

If so, doesn't it mean that the secret about her exists in Hogwarts Castle?

Vaguely, Miss Granger sensed a huge conspiracy.

"What a sad story."

Just as Owen and Hermione were lost in thought.

Dumbledore stood up from the referee's table and said to them, "How many tragedies are buried in history, even I have not seen them all."

"Okay, now you can go back to class. Maybe it would be more correct to go directly to eat. Anyway, they will end get out of class soon!"

"What, it's finally over?!" Bagman also stood up. When Mr. Ollivander checked the wand, he had been drowsy there, but now he became extremely excited, "Take pictures, Dumbledore, Take a photo! The referee and the Warriors can take a photo, and these two kids can also come. What do you think, the little wizard holding the camera?"

He was talking about Colin.

As the flash fell, the images of everyone fell on the photo.

The image that carries history will eventually become history itself.

——————

Regarding the interview, it was printed the next day.

The next day, "The Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler" successively reported on the competition and the content of this interview.

The report caused a great stir and repercussions in the wizarding world.

This is the hottest topic in the past few months besides the World Cup.

Of course, apart from the sudden resumption of the competition that had been suspended for a hundred years, the British wizard was most concerned about the fact that the heir of Gryffindor also participated in the competition.

The Daily Prophet specializes in describing gossip, such as Kram's ex-girlfriend, Fleur's hundreds of suitors, and the resentment behind Cedric's loyalty.

Especially the inking of Miss Granger.

Except for that life experience that is almost like a fairy tale.

She focused on the love life of the Gryffindor heir.

In her novel, Miss Granger transforms into the owner of a fish pond and maintains ambiguous relationships with many boys.

Rita Skeeter didn't dare to say Owen's name directly, but she also mentioned a certain Hufflepuff wizard in a roundabout way.

For example: Harry and the others, she seemed much more unscrupulous.

Every boy you can name in Gryffindor seems to have developed some kind of underground love affair with Miss Granger.

After all, Rita Skeeter has a knack for attracting attention.

Of course - this laid the foundation for her disaster.

How a certain little witch who now dares to steal things from the principal's office will retaliate against her is a story for another day.

Compared with "The Daily Prophet", "The Quibbler", which has always been out of tune, is actually more reliable this time

Owen is responsible for sorting out the outline, Luna is responsible for writing, and he then reviews the manuscript.

This makes their articles lively yet rigorous.

The report details the lives of the five warriors and their prospects for the team's championship.

He also focused on introducing the schedule and format of this competition to ordinary wizards.

It looks like a serious newspaper.

Offensive and defensive changes belong to yes.
