Exchange student at Hogwarts

"This is the gentleman next, with an oriental face, oh, this is not common." Ollivander moved his fingers slightly, and the tape measure floated to Zhang Chen's side.

"He is an exchange student at Hogwarts, the first exchange student in history, from the Kunlun Mountains in China, Zhang Chen, the son of the mountain," Hagrid introduced to Ollivander carelessly.

"What the hell is Son of the Mountain? Do the British give nicknames so casually?" Zhang Chen was almost stunned.

"Well, it is indeed extraordinary. The body is very strong but also very flexible. The arms are slender, the limbs are strong, and the muscles are flexible. I am a natural Auror." Ollivander kept chattering, and the tape measure in his hand kept measuring Zhang Chen's body. , from fingertips to elbows, to shoulders, body length, waist circumference, head circumference, distance between eyes, and even the distance between nostrils, none of them were missed, and they kept squeezing Zhang Chen's muscles with their hands.

Zhang Chen remained motionless. In fact, he was panicking. The corners of his eyes kept twitching. He had no idea what the meaning of these measurements was.

"Okay, let's try this one." After nearly half an hour of measuring, Ollivander finally stopped his evil hands, and the tape measure automatically retracted into his pocket, and then he pulled out a black wand from the shelf at the back: " Ten inches, white beech wood, unicorn feather core, full of mystery."

"Wave it gently or wave it hard. Our Eastern cultivation system has something called zhenqi. Do you want to use it?" Zhang Chen was still a little uneasy.

"Relax, kid, don't use anything, just wave the wand in your hand gently. It will sense the power deep in your heart," Ollivander said with a smile.

"Okay," Zhang Chen said, gently shaking the wand in his hand. A breeze blew the skin on the back of his hand, and a spark appeared in the front of the wand. An invisible shock wave spread around, blowing Everyone's clothes.

"The magic reaction is very strong, but the energy density is very low. I understand, the curse of forbidden magic. Although this wand is friendly, it still cannot fulfill your potential. Let me see again. Yes, let's try this Root, a combination of iron birch and dragon tendon, the favorite of fighting wizards."

"Well, the response this time was good, but obviously it's not enough. I thought about it."

The whole morning was spent slowly with Zhang Chen waving his wand repeatedly and Ollivander's mouth unable to stop. Even behind Hagrid and Harry, there were already two more Hogwarts freshmen buying wands queuing up. waiting.

Finally, Zhang Chen couldn't help but speak: "Master Ollivander, do you have some wands made of oriental materials? I feel like such a wand would be more suitable for me. Besides, I am used to holding a sword. The longer the wand is the better for me.”

"You are so right. Why didn't I think that it is the wand that chooses its owner? The mountain boy in the East needs a wand worthy of being strong." Ollivander took out the wand from his robe and suddenly With a wave of his hand, a purple wooden box flew out from the upper shelf of the deepest shelf. "This is a wand made of purple bamboo from the South China Sea. It is very hard. We couldn't cut it and fit it into the wand core. Later, a team worked with a mysterious alchemist from the East and soaked it in the blood of the oriental mythical beast Qilin for eight minutes. It took eleven years for him to absorb enough Kirin essence and form a source of magic power deep in the wood core. It must be the most suitable wand for you."

This wand is purple-black all over, and the body of the wand is very irregular. It is simply carved with a few magic circles on one end to separate the head and tail of the wand. In addition, there are several strands of scratches running through the body of the wand, which seem to help the flow of magic power. Function, it feels rough to the touch and not as smooth as ordinary bamboo.

Zhang Chen waved the wand lightly, and a burst of blood suddenly erupted from the top of the wand and the notch. Zhang Chen's fingers suddenly seemed to be pricked by the burrs on the tail of the wand, and a few drops of blood flowed out. In an instant, the blood light and Zhang Chen Chen's blood was sucked in along the notches of the wand, and the purple bamboo wand broke away from Zhang Chen's hand, flying up and down around him, and finally stopped on his chest.

"Aha, the magical wand from the east has finally found his owner. Well, I have to record him. This is another memorable transaction in the history of the Ollivander family."

Zhang Chen held the purple bamboo wand and felt as if his heart had been scratched by a small claw. An energy flow that was completely different from the usual flow of energy faintly emerged in his body. Thinking that this was not a place for research, he suppressed his doubts, put the wand in the box and followed Hagrid out of Ollivander's Wand Shop. Continue your shopping tour in Diagon Alley.

"We don't have much time. Let me see, you still need three sets of robes, a crucible, some textbooks, and some materials. At the next stop, I will take you to Madam Malkin to order your clothes, and then buy textbooks and materials." Hagrid was obviously a very patient person, and he didn't feel anxious after waiting for almost two hours, while Harry was still immersed in the surprise of entering the magical world for the first time, and everything was very new.

Amid the constant exclamations of Harry Potter being discovered, it took them another afternoon to finally complete the purchase of all items and return to the Leaky Cauldron.

"I will go back to Hogwarts after this meal. Dumbledore is still waiting for him..." Hagrid patted his chest pocket, and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake and swallowed the next half of the sentence. Go down.

The Philosopher's Stone awaited him. Zhang Chen finished the sentence for him in his heart and raised his head to look at Hagrid. "What do you need to tell me?"

"Well, because I have to pick you up, Zhang. As you know, it's not easy to come to London from Hogwarts, so I picked up Harry in advance. There is still one month left before school starts, so during this time you You need to stay in the Leaky Cauldron. I've opened a double room for you. Dumbledore said that there are two special students at Hogwarts this year, you and Harry. You need to help each other after enrolling. You will also be roommates in the same dormitory."

"Isn't there going to be a sorting ceremony with the Sorting Hat later?" Zhang Chen looked shocked. He was already assigned to the Sorting Hat before he even entered the school.

"You also know the Sorting Hat"

"Ah, I just heard it from other wizards in the store where I bought textbooks. Ha, I thought everyone had to go through the Sorting Hat." Zhang Chen laughed and said haha.

"Dumbledore communicated with the Sorting Hat. The rules set when the academy was established were difficult to apply to your Eastern origin. For example, Slytherin has always insisted on only admitting pure-blood wizards. It is said that you Eastern magicians never conduct admissions based on blood. Division. So Dumbledore and the dean of your house discussed it and decided that you would enter Gryffindor House directly without going through the Sorting Hat. And Harry, whose parents are both outstanding representatives of Gryffindor House, was born a A pure Gryffindor." Hagrid is indeed Dumbledore's most loyal stablemate, and he still knows a lot of inside information.

"Well, our side is also divided into family sect, master-disciple sect and academic sect. The family sect has some blood requirements, but there is no distinction between pure blood and non-pure blood. It mainly depends on the students' moral character and qualifications." Zhang Chen simply said After explaining the principles for recruiting disciples of the Shenzhou sect, he continued to ask about his sorting situation. Obviously he wanted to struggle for the last time and stay away from the source of trouble. "Why would I be sorted into Gryffindor without going through the sorting hat? Why don't I go to Gryffindor?" I can understand Lytlin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw look good too."

"Well, because your Kunlun dean said that you are particularly good at swordplay. You know, only Gryffindor is suitable for brave people like you." Hagrid's eyes were slightly suspicious, probably because he wanted to judge Zhang Chen's small body. Does he really have the temperament of a Western knight charging into battle?

Zhang Chen was stunned, and wanted to tell Dumbledore loudly that what we Eastern swordsmen pursue is chic and elegant, which is fundamentally different from your Western counterparts who run rampant with heavy swords. I am such a coward, and I am not as brave as Gryffindor. Wuwei is completely out of touch.
