Parents of Hogwarts

When everyone entered the store, there was a tinkling bell coming from somewhere behind the store.The shop is very small, with nothing but benches.

Karan took them to the bench and waited silently. The Evans family looked at the thousands of long and narrow boxes that almost reached the ceiling with astonishment on their faces.Snape seemed to have not fully recovered, but he still blushed slightly next to Lily.

"Hello." A soft voice said, startling everyone, including Callan. Snape even felt like he wanted to vomit again.

An old man stood silently in front of them, his big, light-colored eyes like two shining moons in the dim shop.

"Hello." Karan greeted him first.

"Oh, hello, children, and children." Ollivander said with a smile, "Oh, and adults."

Evans' parents also said hello.

"So." Ollivander lowered his gaze again, and glanced at Petunia naturally, causing her to pout in dissatisfaction. Lily quickly comforted her.

"Who comes first, little wizards?"

Karan looked around, and instead of rushing to buy a wand, he pointed at Lily and said, "Ladies first, Mr. Ollivander."

"Very good, a very personable young gentleman." Ollivander praised Karan, and then asked Lily: "So, little girl, which hand do you prefer to use?"

Lily said nervously: "Right hand, I'm used to using my right hand."

"Right hand, good." Ollivander said, taking out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket, "Lift your arm. Good."

He first measured Lily's size, first from the shoulder to the fingertips, then from the wrist to the elbow, from the shoulder to the floor, from the knee to the armpit, and finally measured the head circumference.Lily was shaking a little during the whole process, as if she was about to be cut accurately.

"Don't be afraid, little girl." Ollivander noticed Lily's nervous look and comforted her: "It's just a necessary small process. It seems that you are from a Muggle family, right?"

Lily pointed to the family behind her and nodded: "Yes, sir."

"Very good." Ollivander said with a smile, not knowing what was so good about it.

"Each Ollivander's wand contains super powerful magical substances." Then, Ollivander began to explain to everyone: "This is also the essence of the wand. We use a single horn. Animal hair, phoenix tail feathers and fire dragon's heart nerves, yes, that's right." After noticing the surprise of the Evans family, Ollivander paused, and then continued: "Every Ollivander wand They are all unique, because no two unicorns, fire dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, it will never have such a good effect."

When the tape measure reached the distance between Lily's nostrils, Karan suddenly asked Mr. Ollivander, who was walking between the shelves: "Excuse me, sir, won't the measurements you measured change with age?" So the wand selected like this..."

"It's the wand that chooses the wizard, handsome young gentleman." Ollivander came over with a long box in his arms and explained patiently: "Although it seems that the wizard is choosing the wand, in fact it is the wand that chooses the wizard. . As for the questions you raised, in fact, many people will have such questions, but please forgive me for being presumptuous. However, Ollivander's wand is always the best, and this is not without reason. "

"You should also be from a Muggle family."

"Yes." Karan nodded politely.

"That's right." Ollivander said with a smile: "There are often young wizards or adults asking similar questions. However, I can only say that wandology is a very profound knowledge. As for the rest of......"

Ollivander blinked mysteriously: "This is an inherited secret. Please forgive me for not saying any more."

"Thank you, sir." Despite this, Karan still thanked him politely.

At the same time, Karan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could say such slightly offensive words as "Muggles know nothing about magic at all, don't insult the wand with your ignorant attitude" so that it was so acceptable. , it will not produce the slightest disgust, and it is indeed a craftsman who has inherited 2000 years of craftsmanship.

"Then, let's give it a try, Ms. Evans." Ollivander said, taking out a wand and handing it to Lily's hand.

Lily was obviously very excited, but accidentally, a beam of light suddenly appeared from the tip of the wand, blowing up a box.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. This is what happens."

Ollivander smiled, raised his wand, pointed it at the broken box and whispered.

"Return as usual."

In the blink of an eye, the box was intact again.

"Well, let's try this one."

The process of selecting a wand, or the process of being selected, is always long and full of fun. From time to time in the small wand shop, the Evanses were frightened and screamed, but fortunately, Lily finally felt A completely different wand arrived.

"Ten and a quarter inches, willow, phoenix tail feathers. Great, really great."

Mr. Ollivander took the wand, put it in a box, and wrapped it in brown paper. At the same time, he explained to Lily who looked delighted: "Phoenix tail feathers are undoubtedly the rarest type of wand core at this time. It can cast the greatest variety of magic, although this may take longer to manifest. However, the Phoenix Tail Feather is always the most picky when it comes to choosing a master, because the Phoenix itself is one of the most independent and detached creatures in the world."

"Get it, little girl."

Lily thanked her happily, and then continued to ask: "Where's Willow, Mr. Ollivander?"

"Ah, about this." The expression on Ollivander's face suddenly became a little unpredictable: "Willow usually chooses wizards with great potential, rather than those who are self-righteous. Only those with lofty ambitions are suitable. Willow.”

"But..." At this point, Ollivander suddenly looked away, not knowing whether to look at Snape or Callan.

At this time, Karan squinted his eyes in time, and Ollivander looked at Snape with understanding and said: "It's a pity that the owner of Willow often feels insecure for no reason no matter how much he wants to hide it."

Under Ollivander's gaze, Snape suddenly froze, as did Lily beside him.

"Okay." Ollivander did not continue, but asked with a smile: "So, who is next?"

"He comes first." Callan resisted again and pushed Snape out.

Snape was still thinking about Ollivander's previous words. Before he could react, the tape measure began to operate automatically on him.

"Callan." While Ollivander was looking for a wand suitable for Snape, Lily suddenly approached Calan and asked him quietly: "What were you doing just now?"

"What?" Karan pretended not to know.

"Stop pretending, I saw it when you winked at Mr. Ollivander." Lily replied angrily.

Karan blinked and muttered: "You didn't choose me anyway..."

"Karan" Lily hit him angrily: "Didn't you agree not to mention that matter again?"

"What's the matter?" At this time, the tape measure on Snape's body had fallen off, and he looked back and forth between the two of them with suspicion, especially Kahlan.

"It has nothing to do with you." Before Karan could speak, Lily replied with a blushing face and glared at Karan.This almost broke Snape's heart, but fortunately, he was attracted back in time by Mr. Ollivander who had been waiting for a long time with his wand.

There was still a lot of noise, but Snape was already a little careless, and he didn't finally wake up until he found the wand that chose him.

"Very good, wonderful." Ollivander said again in a complimentary manner, and Karan suspected that he had said this to every little wizard.

"Eleven and a quarter inches, cypress wood, the fire dragon's heart nerves are very good." Ollivander patiently explained to Snape while loading the wand: "Generally speaking, the fire dragon's heart nerves can Make the most powerful wands and can perform the most gorgeous magic. However, this type of wand is also very easy to change its allegiance, and is often the easiest to transform into a dark magic wand, although it does not tilt in this direction on its own. .”

At this time, Karan asked appropriately: "So whether it is black magic or white magic, the choice ultimately lies with the wizard, right?"

Snape slowly raised his head, and Ollivander smiled and replied, "Yes, that's it."

Snape lowered his head again, wondering what he was thinking.

"As for the cypress wood." When he said this, Ollivander suddenly showed a proud look: "The cypress wand is always associated with courage, and my ancestor Galant Ollivander once said that he wanted to find the wand. A fit owner of a cypress wand is proud because he knows the owner of a cypress wand..."

Ollivander placed the box gently in Snape's hand.

"Mortal Glory."

"I hope you can become a true warrior, kid."

Snape was completely stunned.

"Okay," but Ollivander did not continue, but looked at Karan expectantly: "It seems that you should be next, your graceful young gentleman."

Karan nodded, walked forward, and whispered in Snape's ear: "You should have heard it, the right to choose is always in your hands, Snape."

Snape's face gradually became ugly. He and Karan had not discussed matters related to dark magic for a long time, but he did not expect that Karan would bring it up again at this time.

But Karan didn't look at him anymore, but just stood there obediently, letting the tape measure swing up and down.

It didn't take long for Karan to also try out the wand. Everything was just like the two of them had a little scare before. In the end, after trying many wands, Karan suddenly felt a strange feeling. , as if the arm had been extended for some reason.

"Very good, very perfect." Ollivander praised again. He took the wand from Karan's hand and looked at it carefully: "Eleven and a quarter inches, unicorn tail hair, and ash wood. ,very good."

Then he began to explain: "The tail hair of a unicorn usually produces the most stable magic, and it is difficult to use black magic."

After saying this, Snape immediately looked up at Karan.

Ollivander did not pay attention to this, he continued, "Moreover, a wand made of unicorn tail hair may not be so powerful, but it can make the most loyal wand, especially when combined with the ash tree, it will Make this tendency even more obvious, and this is the most loyal wand.”

At this time, Lily suddenly asked with some doubts: "Is it just loyalty? It sounds like..." She pointed at herself and Snape: "It seems that the wands are not more powerful than the two of us. ."

"No, it's not like that."

Suddenly, before Ollivander could say anything, Karan retorted softly. He finally couldn't wait to take the wand from Ollivander's hand, put it in his hand, and carefully felt the inexplicable familiarity, and gently caressing.

And his eyes were more passionate than ever.

"Loyalty, that's enough."

Karan said softly.
