Hogwarts underachiever

After setting a precedent, Ian originally thought that he would also get his own wand among the piles of wand boxes in the hall.

But it's not.

Ollivander said this and led Ian deeper into the store.

"Sir, are there many low-magic apprentices like me in school?" After passing through a passage where miscellaneous items were placed, the two of them came to a studio-like room.

"No, of course not many. Although Hogwarts is the best and top magic school, it is not suitable for some students with inherent disadvantages. Most of the time they will choose to attend aristocratic institutions such as St. Peter's Manor. Where can I find it? A systematic magic power optimization plan is provided to help low-magic apprentices recuperate."

This is the workshop used by Ollivander when making and debugging wands.Unlike outside, the special wands here are displayed on a dilapidated cabinet.

Looking shabby.

Ian held the wand in his hand, and as he had guessed, he didn't feel any change.

Ray, either leave the door open while picking out your wand.

Do you think that your uncontrollable magic state is your talent? Don't be stupid. If it is discovered that your magic state is so special, neither of us will end well.

"Ah, I have to say it. There is indeed an old friend who has been talking to me about this matter recently. The heir of the Longbottom family seems to have something wrong with his talent, but he can't hide his face and refuses to go to St. Bitri Manor to do it. Optimize treatment.”

The wand was pulled out of Ian's hand again.

Mr. Ollivander realized what he was talking about and said, "I seem to have gone too far. It's easy for people to do this as they get older. I'm sorry."

Ian quickly said he didn't care.

However, no matter whether the conversation between the two was pleasant or not, it could not change Ian's embarrassment of not being able to try out a suitable wand.

"Sir, is it possible that I don't have a suitable wand due to a problem with my magic power?" Ian tried to end the boring selection quickly.

If the door didn't open, he would be a pure Muggle, so how could he possibly choose the wand?

"No, the wands placed here were designed with the thought that even an absolute Muggle would be able to get one of them, because the wands here are designed to induce awakening. You couldn't find the right one. It means you have been selected by a magic wand in this shop and you have been marked.”

Ollivander is very tough when it comes to wands.

Ian knew it was not the right time to argue with him, but he couldn't help but complain to Ray.

The old man spoke as if the wand was alive in some way.

Unexpectedly, Ray would actually side with Ollivander on this matter. Well, according to my understanding of the Magic Terminal, the wand I saw today is undoubtedly a very delicate magic item.When completed, they are no longer completely dead objects. Even after injecting magic power, with the help of the host, they should be able to grow into a structure similar to a living body. If you really find a suitable wand, I may be able to help. Hurry up and complete the transformation of your magic power.

Lei Rao started to talk incomprehensibly.

Ollivander muttered as he headed to the warehouse to find another batch of suitable wands.

Ian, on the other hand, turned his attention to the mess on the table in the workshop amid the background sounds of thunderous thoughts.

He glanced at the notebook and saw an incomplete wand box, some wand core samples, and a few wands that seemed to be unfinished.

His eyes finally rested on a pure black wand.

Among the pile of semi-finished products, the black wand that seemed to be finished stood out so prominently. One side of the pitch-black wand had a round head and the other side was trimmed into a square shape, with a section inlaid with a silver-white ring in the middle.

The wand was probably less than ten inches. Strangely, Ian felt an indescribable feeling of intimacy when he saw this wand.

This feeling drove him to reach out and pick it up.

Ollivander happened to be a step too late and returned to the workshop.

"You found it." The old man was stunned at first, and then said with surprise, "No, no, it's a semi-finished product."

Hmm~ Is this how it feels? Magic wand, very smart approach.Ray clicked his tongue in Ian's head.

Of course Ian, who is a semi-finished product, has no idea what a semi-finished product is. He only knows that the wand in his hand gives him a wonderful moment of clarity.

It was like opening a window in his head and driving out Ray, the big fat bird that was blocking his thoughts.

Were you thinking of something very rude just now?

"Isn't it possible? If the mark you mentioned really exists, it seems I can only use it."

"Uh~" Ollivander obviously did not expect such a result, "Yes, you can only use it."

"The old wood is the locust tree, that tree must still be alive.

The core of the staff is made of silk thread twisted from the fibrous heart of an old ghoul.It is an innovative idea created by a friend and I. It is not a semi-finished product, but it is still too dangerous for you to take away. "

"Why?" Ian hid the wand behind him. He didn't want to try it many times again.

"The wight is not a purely magical creature. Its birth is accompanied by curses and dangers. I cannot allow my works to cause danger where I cannot see them."

"But there is no innovation without taking risks." Ian's very crucial words blocked the old man's worries. "You also said that this is an innovative idea. If this idea is not used, we will never know its effect. .”

"But"

"I can write a letter to cooperate with you for further information. I also want to know the details of this wand."

Ray praised Ian's statement loudly in his mind. This guy really wanted to know about wands.

"You don't understand that you could be in danger."

"I understand. If I didn't even have the courage to face danger, I wouldn't beg Mr. Dumbledore to grant me admission as a low-magic apprentice."

Ollivander was speechless for a moment.

But in the end he agreed with Ian's idea.

"Okay, then don't forget the letter. You are right, it will be very troublesome to give up this one and choose again."

Having finally finished dealing with the wand, Ian returned to the store hall.

Penonya expressed slight dissatisfaction with her swollen face, while Mr. Snape had a fixed expression of "I'm not happy."

"When it's done, I'll take you back." Snape obviously wanted to end this troublesome extra work as soon as possible.

"Don't bother." Ian rejected the proposal, "I think we can find a way back. I've been to London a few times and I'm quite familiar with it."

You can find trams besides Diagon Alley, and as a small town, Ian is not short of money on the top floor of the basement.

He couldn't bear to let Penonia go through the discomfort of apparating again.

Snape's scrutinizing gaze put a lot of pressure on him, "Don't misunderstand the wizarding group, there are many threats hidden in Diagon Alley."

"Then you can just watch us walk out of the Leaky Cauldron." Ian was not going to give in, "Then we can go our separate ways."

Snape frowned dissatisfiedly, but then he changed his expression as if he remembered something.

What should I say about the expression? It seemed to be a little pity, which was a very uncomfortable expression.

"Okay, I also want to go back early. Then please listen carefully, Ian~"

Snape straightened his expression and began to convey the notice.

"The teaching materials that aid students need to use can only be collected from the school. Of course, if you have other ways to obtain them, you are free. Next, you will go to the station at the right time and show the wand to the conductor of the Hogwarts Express. They will I will arrange a seat for you. As for how to get to the station, you don’t need me to teach you.”

He turned his attention to the girl, "And I guess you don't need to go to the station by yourself. People from your family should pick you up before school starts, or even within a few days."

After hearing this information, Ian couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Don't do anything to cause trouble for yourself~ Ian." Snape's last words were like a snake hissing, "Whether it's for you or your sister."
