Hogwarts White Knight

Chapter 9 The Secret

"13.6 inches, ebony, dragon's heart tendon. It is said to come from a particularly violent black dragon from the Hesidian Islands. It is very suitable for offensive magic and transformation.

Very stiff, yes, almost impossible to bend. The handle is made of fairy dust silver, a secret treasure of fairies, which we guess strengthens the connection between man and wand.

It's a pity that the method of making it was lost in the war with the goblins a long time ago and can never be recovered. "

Sitting at the table, Ollivander looked sad.

"It is said? A long time ago?"

Gawain was keenly aware that there were some strange words in the story he told.

"Yes. This wand is not my work. Of course, it is not the skill of my father or grandfather. It comes from an old friend of the family."

Ollivander nodded and pointed to the decoration on the silver handle, "Rowena Ravenclaw".

"Rowena Ravenclaw?!"

Gawain was so surprised that he almost dropped his chin. Although he didn't know much about the wizarding world, he at least knew that this man was one of the four giants who founded Hogwarts a thousand years ago.

"Yes, the skill of making wands should have been a secret of the Ollivander family. But because she saved our family from the persecution of the church, the ancestors at that time specifically allowed her to borrow the workshop and materials.

It is said that she made this wand for a very close friend, but never came back to retrieve it and it remained in our family. "

Ollivander said in a soft voice as he recalled the family records.

"Hmm...can I buy this wand?"

Gawain asked hesitantly. Although he really liked this wand, according to the other party, this wand should be a very precious collection.

Ollivander pursed his lips, his expression serious.

"Now that it has recognized you, it belongs to you, child. But when you start school, you must hand over 10 gold galleons to the school."

Suddenly, as if he had thought about something, he let out a long sigh and said. Collecting valuable wands and seeing the wands choose the right partners are the two things he values ​​most.

But he had to choose one to give up.

"But, Mr. White, if you are sure you want to choose it, I must remind you of two things."

Ollivander stared at Gawain with his overly big eyes, and said as if he was moaning.

"First of all, it was made using very ancient techniques and was not the work of a professional wandmaker but a powerful wizard. No one, including me, knew how it would behave when used.

It may be strong, it may be weak, it may even betray you. "

The light-colored eyes were like an eagle, looking straight at Gawain. But Ollivander did not wait for his answer, but continued speaking on his own.

"Moreover, it may not be complete." The old man waved his hand and stroked the wand with his long index finger. "Of course, it has a core, a handle, and everything a wand should have. In our family's opinion, It’s already a finished product.”

"Then why is it incomplete?"

Gawain was a little confused.

If an animal looks like a cat, barks like a cat, runs like a cat, and even eats, drinks and poops like a cat.

Then it must be a cat.

Or mental illness in cat’s clothing.

"I do not know."

Ollivander's crisp answer made Gawain twitch his lips.

"Ravenclaw left it temporarily in my family's workshop because he wanted to find the last material on the way, but due to some unexpected reasons, he was unable to make the trip."

The wand maker explained that he did not deliberately cause trouble for Gawain. In fact, this wand should never have been in the store.

"If that old bastard hadn't gotten the wand..."

Ollivander's teeth started to itch when he thought of the other wand maker.

It was due to the competitive pressure from Gregovich, who claimed to have obtained the Elder Wand, that his father had to display this equally precious wand.

And just when he was about to take it back to the workshop more than ten years ago, the power of "that man" swept the UK again.

After the mysterious man was defeated, the Ollivander family's wand-making skills were also questioned to some extent. He had to continue to leave the wand in the window as a demonstration of wand-making heritage.

"Now it's time to make your choice. If you want to give it up, there are enough options in the store to make sure you find the right partner."

At some point, Ollivander leaned forward, his face almost touching Gawain's. In Gawain's hand, the ebony wand remained motionless, as if waiting with bated breath for Gawain's decision.

"Mr. Ollivander, I want to keep it."

After a brief silence, Gawain made his choice.

He showed a relieved smile to Elsa who was watching, indicating that he did not make a hasty decision.

"Well...if that's the case, I think you need to give it a name according to the tradition from thousands of years ago."

Ollivander shook his head and sat back in his chair.

Different from today, in that dangerous era thousands of years ago, every wand was extremely precious and could only be owned by powerful wizards, and the wand itself also had its own name.

The most typical representative is the Elder Wand.

"Just call it gtine."

Without much thinking, Gawain quickly decided to use the sword of the knight with the same name as him in the legend of King Arthur as the name of the wand.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the wand vibrate slightly, and then emitted a faint golden light.

——On the top of the handle, the golden glyph "Galatin" suddenly appeared.

"How wonderful!

Mr. White, it already belongs to you, please cherish it. "

Ollivander leaned forward, his mouth wide open and exclaimed, as if he had seen an incredible sight. It wasn't until the golden light settled that he stood up and spoke.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ollivander, I will definitely put it to good use."

Gawain and Elsa got up, said goodbye to the wand maker, and left the shop.

After naming the wand, his connection with it became much stronger. The wand was in his hand, like an extension of his palm, without any sense of separation.

"Next, should we go to the bookstore?"

Playing with his brand new wand, Gawain asked Elsa, but after waiting for a while, he received no reply.

He followed Elsa's gaze and saw that it was a store decorated in light yellow, with many witches coming in and out.

Mrs. Prime Pinell's Beauty Potion Shop
