After the Weasley family walked out of the gate of Gringotts after withdrawing the money, their expressions were different, and their faces were full of inexplicable confidence.

Morilla looked at the two excited brothers and said, "Let's go, let's go buy wands and uniforms for you first." Then she glanced at Arthur, "As for dad, you first go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to help the children find some supplies." Use the books."

Arthur shrugged, "Okay, let's meet at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore later."

"Okay!" Fred and George responded in unison.

Molly took Fred and George to the front of a small and shabby store. The store's door paint and the gold-lettered signboard were all mottled and peeled off.

It says Ollivander - a craftsman who has been making fine wands since 380 BC.

There is a colorful purple cushion placed in the dusty window, and a beautiful brown wood wand is placed on it. The handle is carved with a spiral pattern, and the wand is straight with wood grain. It looks very... beautiful.

"Let's go, this is the shop of the Ollivander family, the best wand maker in the UK." Molly took the lead and opened the door.

"Squeak~Eee~"

The door of Ollivander's Wand Shop is also very old, and it keeps squeaking when you open it.

After entering the door, there is an old bench on the left. The paint on it has been smoothed as jade by the people who used to sit on it, revealing the texture of the wood inside.

Directly opposite the door was a tall counter with a round glass-shaded table lamp on it.

Looking deeper into the store, there are rows and rows of shelves reaching to the roof.

There are countless long cardboard boxes stacked on the rows of shelves, and the full cardboard boxes crowd all the shelves.

Suddenly, a black wooden ladder slid out from between two rows of shelves. There was a man with white hair standing on it. He looked to be about sixty or seventy years old. He was wearing a brown ceremonial robe, revealing white floral sleeves.

He looked at Molly for a few seconds before speaking out: "Oh, Molly, Molly Weasley, did you come to buy a wand for the child again today?"

Molly smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Ollivander." Then she pushed Fred and George forward, "This is my Fred and George, they are a set of twins. They will also be here this year." We are going to Hogwarts." The pride on Molly's face was not concealed at all.

"Yes, I remember that your second son and third son are also at Hogwarts." Ollivander replied as he climbed down from the tall ladder.

He walked over to Fred and George and took out a tape measure. "Then let's measure our bodies first."

Ollivander asked Fred and George to raise their hands and asked, "Which hand do you prefer?"

Fred and George answered simultaneously: "Right hand."

"Okay, I'll make a wand. The core of the wand basically only uses unicorn hair, dragon heartstrings, and phoenix feathers." Ollivander measured Fred's shoulders to his fingertips and continued.

"Unicorn hair usually produces the most stable magic, is least susceptible to fluctuations and blockages, is generally not capable of transmuting dark magic, and is the most loyal of all wands, remaining strongly loyal to their first owner. attachment, but the drawback is that they do not make the most powerful wands, and they are prone to melancholy, and if not taken care of in time, will break and need to be replaced.”

Then Ollivander measured from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, squatted down, and said: "And the dragon's heartstrings can emit the most powerful power and can cast the most gorgeous spells, and the dragon wand's tend to learn faster than other types. When wizards are defeated, they can change allegiance. And dragon wands tend to turn most readily to the dark arts, although it does not automatically tend that way."

Ollivander stood up again and finally measured his head circumference. This made Fred very strange. Why should he measure his head circumference when buying a wand? Fred looked at Ollivander with a puzzled look.

Ollivander seemed to be immersed in his own words, "The feathers of the phoenix are the rarest. They can perform the greatest range of magic. Although they need more time to learn, they are the most picky in choosing their masters. The hardest to tame because their owners are also unique, so their loyalty is hard-won.”

Finally, Ollivander put away the tape measure in his hand, walked straight to a shelf, took two long paper boxes from it and put them on the counter.

He carefully opened the two boxes and took out two bright wands that were very amber-colored and handed them to Fred and George respectively, "Made of acacia wood and dragon's heartstrings, seven inches long."

Fred was suddenly a little anxious. He didn't know if he could get the kind of recognition from the wand core, the loyal unicorn hair?Or the powerful dragon string?Or a unique phoenix feather?

Fred stabilized his slightly trembling hand and took the wand, and waved it eagerly, but the wand did not respond at all. He felt that what he was holding was just an ordinary wooden stick.

Fred looked at George next to him, and there was no response from the wand in George's hand.

So Fred looked up at Ollivander and asked, "Mr. Ollivander, are you trying to trick people with an ordinary tree branch? This is a good idea!"

Ollivander said with a serious face, "Nonsense! What do you know? Acacia is a unique wand wood. It usually refuses people except the owner to use it to use magic, but in turn, it Only show your strength to the most talented people!”

Then Ollivander paused and thought for a few seconds, then turned and walked deeper into the shelf. Fred could see Ollivander climbing to the top of the deep shelf and taking down two boxes.

"Here, try this. Made of dogwood and unicorn feathers, twelve and one-third inches." Ollivander opened the two new boxes and handed the wands inside to Fred and George.

Fred took the pure brown wand and waved it in the air. He felt like there was something inside the wand.

He wanted to throw the thing out of the wand, but every time the thing disappeared when he was about to throw the wand out, and then reappeared inside the wand.

Fred could only keep waving the wand, but always failed in the end. Fred looked at George, who also frowned and was waving the wand crazily.

Ollivander's eyes shone, as if he had seen something funny, and he laughed, "Interesting, interesting! Hahahaha!"

George also gave up and looked at each other. The two of them smiled slightly and stretched out their wands to exchange without saying anything.

However, just when the two were about to let go, their wands suddenly emitted gentle white light and quickly bounced towards them!

"Bang!" There was a loud noise.

Fred and George were ejected by the white light emitted by both wands, and hit the shelves on both sides. Fortunately, the white light was not too powerful, and Fred and George just leaned against the shelves.

"Wow! Fred! How are you?" George looked at the wand in his hand with disbelief.

"I'm fine, George!" Fred looked at the pure brown wand in his hand with surprise.

Only then did Fred feel that the wand in his hand seemed to have become one with himself. He could now wave the wand as he pleased without feeling any obstruction at all!

"Bah bang bang!" Ollivander clapped his hands, "Wonderful! It's so wonderful! It's wonderful!" As if watching a big show, he then looked at Fred and George softly and asked, " Do you know what’s going on?”
