A certain Hogwarts wizard

Chapter 5 Magic Wand

"Good morning..." An old man with messy hair and clothes walked in from the door. He looked at Cornette with his big light gray eyes, "You're so early, Mr. White, you You are the first freshman this year to come here to pick a wand. Yes, yes, that’s not surprising. For a wizard, the wand is the most important partner. I think you must be very eager to have your own wand!"

"Garrick, what's wrong with you?" Norbert frowned and asked Ollivander who came in from outside the house.

"It's not the battle last night. They fought all the way from Knockturn Alley to my backyard. Some of the wood used to make wands in the yard was destroyed by them. When I was cleaning up the yard in the morning, I found that some were still in stock, so I just went Gringotts looked for it." Ollivander complained dissatisfiedly.

"Don't worry, yesterday's riot will not happen again. The Ministry of Magic has been alerted. After I finish shopping with Cornette, I will go back to the Knights of Merlin to let them take action. And I want Deng Bullido should also have received the news, the new students will be admitted soon, and he will definitely take it seriously." Norbert comforted.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's choose a wand for Mr. White first." Ollivander turned towards the counter and took out a tape measure with a silver scale from under the counter.

"So, Mr. White, what is your dominant hand?" Ollivander walked up to Cornett with a tape measure.

"I can use both hands, Mr. Ollivander, but I prefer my left hand." Cornett said, "By the way, sir, with all due respect, if I choose a wand, it's okay to use it with my right hand, right?"

"Ah, excellent Mr. White, I think this is not a problem. After all, few people can use both hands flexibly. Please keep raising your arms." The tape measure in Ollivander's hand started to operate automatically.

The ruler first measured from the shoulder to the fingertips, then from the wrist to the elbow, then from the shoulder to the floor, from the knees to the armpits, and finally measured the circumference of the head. Ollivander took a quill pen and recorded the data on the notepad. Looking at the data, he couldn't help but express his admiration, "You have such a strong body at such a young age. You really deserve to be the heir of the White family!"

Ollivander put down his tools, walked between the shelves, pulled out a box from the middle, walked to Cornette, opened the box, and took out a wand.

"Try it, Mr. White. It's English oak, with a unicorn hair core. It's fourteen and one-half inches long, and it's slightly elastic."

Cornette held it in his hand and waved it. A warm white light suddenly lit up, and then quickly disappeared. Ollivander saw this and took out the wand from Cornette's hand. "No, no, it's suitable but not completely suitable." , look for it again.”

After standing in front of the shelf and walking around for a few times, Ollivander set up a ladder and pulled out a dusty box from the top of the shelf. While wiping the dust, he said, "Cedar wood, with dragon heart nerve as the core." , twelve and one-half inches long, cedar wands are always matched by discerning owners, and dragon nerve wands are the most powerful and cast the most dazzling spells."

Cornett held the second wand in his hand and waved it gently. A dazzling red light shot out from the tip of the wand, and the window suddenly burst. Cornett looked at the wand in his hand with some doubts, but Ollivander pulled it out directly. Magic wand, "No, no, no, although this is suitable for you, it is not the most perfect. Let me look for it again."

Cornette's mouth twitched slightly as he watched Ollivander put up the ladder again and pulled out another box on the shelf.

"Child, please remember that it is the wand that chooses the wizard." Ollivander looked at Cornett with his big eyes, and took out a beautifully shaped wand from the box. The handle of the wand was engraved with exquisite magic patterns. A wand with a sunstone at the end

"Ebony wood, with a phoenix feather core, eleven and a quarter inches in length, logically bendable."

As soon as Cornette took over, the wand emitted a dazzling golden light, and a fiery red phoenix flew out from the tip of the wand, screamed and circled around him before disappearing in the air.

"I think this one seems to suit me very well?" Cornette tilted his head and looked at Ollivander. He felt that this wand seemed to be connected with his mind.

"This is it, Mr. White. Please believe me. This ebony wand has an impressive appearance and is very suitable for combat magic and transformation. The phoenix feather is the most active core of the wand, which can Cast the most kinds of magic. I think it will help you do a great career." Ollivander laughed happily, choosing a suitable owner for his work, which is a very important thing. Something delightful.

Cornette gently stroked the wand in his hand. This wand looked very delicate. The cracked ice in the sunstone at the end of the handle showed a scene of the sun and the moon shining together, giving people a mysterious and unique feeling. , let Cornit put it down.

"Okay, Cornette, now that the wand has been picked, let's go buy other things." Norbert, who was standing next to him, reminded him.

Cornette looked at Ollivander, "Sir, what's the price of this wand?"

"Seven galleons, kid. This is the price of the first wand that every new student buys. It's a no-brainer." Ollivander winked mischievously at Cornette.

Norbert took out seven gold coins from his pocket, handed them to Ollivander, and said to Cornett, "Thank you quickly, Ollivander. I dare say that compared to other ordinary wands, this wand in your hand is This wand is absolutely exquisite.”

"Sir, thank you for your generosity." Cornette bowed slightly and thanked politely.

"Okay, Garrick, let's go first." Norbert opened the store door and walked out.

After coming out of Ollivander's store, the grandfather and grandson went to Flourish and Blott Bookstore to buy the books they needed. Cornette also bought a few basic books about runes, alchemy and runes in the bookstore. Books, he felt that if he wanted to fully master the Clow Cards, this knowledge should provide some help. The related books in the basement at home were too obscure and profound, so he had to start with the basics.

When Cornette finally came out of Madam Malkin's robe shop, he had a hopeless expression on his face. With a handsome face and a slender figure, he tried on one gown after another under Madam Malkin's hands. She seemed to know that the two of them were equal in gold galleons, and Cornette's figure looked like a standard clothes rack when put on the dress, so Mrs. Malkin wanted to make Cornette a walking promotional model for their store.

Fortunately, the reliable Norbert still remembered that he had something important to do today. After trying on more than a dozen dresses, he quickly took out his gold coins, packed all the clothes he tried on, and asked Mrs. Malkin to send them by owl when the time came. Then he led Cornit to buy the last optional pet.

In fact, Cornette doesn’t have much demand for pets. There are more than a dozen owls in his own owl tower. Various magical animals in the castle garden have been close to Cornette since he was a child, such as Sniffer, Bowtruckle and other small animals. Something that always likes to run up and play on Cornette.

So when Norbert took Cornit into the magical animal store, the noisy pets became quiet one by one and stared at Cornit closely.

The clerk saw this for the first time and stood there blankly, but Cornette was used to this. His eyes moved around the store, looking at the pets with different appearances.

He ruled out toads first. He would not choose a creature that was covered in lumps and looked slimy as a pet. He had owls at home, so he turned his attention to the kittens in the store.

A silver tabby cat attracted Cornette's attention. The kitten was about thirty centimeters long and had amber eyes. The most attractive thing about it was its lips. The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, like a curved mouth. Smiley face.

Cornette walked up to the kitten, knelt down and held it in his arms. He scratched the kitten's chin with his fingers. The kitten purred softly and squinted its eyes. Enjoyed it very much.

Seeing this, the other kittens gathered around Cornette's feet, each one meowing meowingly, but Cornette acted like a complete scumbag, ignoring them and holding them in his arms. silver tabby cat walks to the counter.

"Does this kitten have a name? How much does it cost?" Cornette went to the store clerk holding the kitten and asked.

The clerk who had come back to his senses before was talking to Norbert. He seemed to know the old man, but when Cornette came over, the two people who were talking stopped talking and turned to look at Cornette. kitten inside.

A smirk appeared on Norbert's face, as if he had thought of something. He walked over to Cornit, grabbed the kitten's butt and observed it. The startled kitten was covered in fur, and Cornit looked at it speechlessly. Looking at his grandfather who was suddenly out of tune, he didn't know what was going on with the old man.

"Mr., this tabby cat is called Rose. It was bred through magical crossbreeding. It can adapt to magic. It is said that it also has a trace of the lion blood of the large cats among Muggle animals. However, it seems that I have not found any trace of it so far. What's the difference? It must be the nonsense of those weird magical animal hybrid scholars." The clerk explained it carefully, seeming to sneer at the matter of hybridization.

"It's 25 gold galleons in total, but I can make the decision to equip you with all the cattery, cat food, cat litter and other equipment." The clerk glanced at Norbert and continued.

Norbert took out the gold galleons from his pocket and said, "Just ask the owl to mail those things. We have to leave beforehand."

Cornette held the kitten, petted Rose, and watched Norbert repeat the operations in other stores. It seemed that today's shopping was over.
