The man behind Hogwarts

Malzahar emerged from the Shrieking Shack.

Ride a broomstick and rush to Knockturn Alley, and occasionally cast invisibility spells on yourself and the broomstick when flying over human cities.

He didn't have a wand on him, so he was able to cast spells by relying on his wandless spell-casting skills.

Casting spells without a wand——

It is a technique for performing magic without a wand.

Learning to cast spells without a wand does not mean that you don't need a wand to perform all magic. This is a misconception.

For example, Malzahar uses the Disguise Charm.

The reason why he can cast spells without a wand is because William spent a lot of time learning and finally learned how to cast the Disguise Curse without a wand.

In short, one magic, one learning.

Put on the mask and hood, enter Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron, and target Ollivander's Staff Shop.

"welcome!"

Ollivander greeted him casually, and when he saw Malzahar wearing a mask, he didn't ask any questions.

"I need a wand."

A familiar place, William had been there twice before.

The first time was when he bought the wand by himself, the second time was when he accompanied Hermione, and the third time was with Malzahar.

"What's your name?" Ollivander asked.

"Malzahar Void."

Ollivander took out a ruler: "Mr. Void, let me measure your body data first."

I saw him measuring his height and arm length... At the same time, he recorded the details in a notebook. Finally, after measuring the data, he felt confident and selected a few wands for Malzahar to try.

I tried three, but nothing was right.

Malzahar was a little impatient, so he let go of his mental perception, and the surrounding wind conveyed information to him.

"I want to try that wand." Malzahar opened his eyes and pointed to a box deep in the shelf. The contents inside made him tremble a little.

Ollivander's expression changed and his lips trembled twice.

"You mean this?" Ollivander asked, picking up a wooden box.

"No, more from above."

"this?"

"No, next to it."

It was only then that Ollivander finally determined that the guest was pointing to the dusty wooden box.

But how is this possible!

Ollivander tremblingly took out the wooden box and brushed off the dust, revealing its luxurious decorations.

'This wand has been made for nearly twenty years. No one knew of its existence and thought it would follow me into the grave...'

‘Is there anyone else who can use it? ’

Malzahar saw that Ollivander's expression was wrong and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Mr. Ollivander, is there something wrong with this wand? Is it damaged? Is it not for sale?"

Ollivander shook his head, took a white towel, and wiped the wooden box carefully.

Even weirder.

If he valued the wooden box so much, why did he let it collect dust?

"Mr. Void, I made this wand twenty years ago. Maybe it found its owner today."

The white-haired old man Ollivander said in a spirited voice.

Opening the wooden box, there was a fifteen-inch wand inside.

The main body of the wand is grey-brown, ranging from thick to thin, with several black joints evenly distributed on the wand body, giving it a bone-like texture.

"The inner core of this wand is thestral hair, and the outer shell is elderberry."

Ollivander held up the wand religiously and solemnly introduced it to Malzahar——

Thestral tail hair:

This type of wand core was considered unstable and difficult to use in wand making.

Elderberry:

This is the rarest of wand woods and has a reputation for bringing great misfortune. Using an elder wand is trickier than using other wands. They have powerful magical powers, but they disdain to accompany their masters who are no better than others. Most wizards who hold an elder wand are famous throughout the world, regardless of how long they have held it.

At first Malzahar was a little unimpressed.

The left and right are nothing more than a magic wand.

No matter how powerful the wand is, it will never surpass the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand...

However, the more I listened, the more something was wrong.

"You said it's elderberry?" Malzahar asked in surprise. Ollivander looked complicated and nodded: "Yes, the only elderberry wand I made in my life."

"Mr. Void, it seems you also know the legend of the elder wand..."

Of course Malzahar knew, "It is said that the Elder Wand, the Deathly Hallows, is made of elder."

"That's right...the Elder Wand..."

"Twenty years ago, I wanted to try to replicate the Elder Wand on a whim, and it took me three months to finally create this wand."

"But to my disappointment, no wizard could fit it."

"Every time I have a guest, I ask them to try this wand... without success. It ends up being shelved."

Malzahar took the wand.

As soon as his palm touched the handle of the wand, all his clothes moved automatically.

Gradually, the wind became stronger and stronger, and without Malzahar's control, there was a sudden roar of a storm.

ten minutes later,

Malzahar leaves the wand shop.

There was a wand in his hand.

From Ollivander's mouth, Malzahar learned more about the Elder Wand.

For example, the material of the Elder Wand is: elder + thestral tail hair. It looked exactly like the wand in his hand.

Before leaving, Ollivander said:

"The wand made of elderberry is no small matter, not to mention that you can fit it perfectly, Mr. Void, so... I must inform the Ministry of Magic about this. This is the responsibility of every shop owner in Diagon Alley."

"No problem, I don't mind."

Malzahar chuckled secretly. He would be leaving the UK in a month anyway, so he could report whatever he wanted.

This also shows that this wand is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, it's not that the wand itself has any special power, but its symbolic meaning.

……

Malzahar didn't stay in the Yuanyue Store for long. He 'pretended' William's identity and took the Jarvis subsystem before leaving.

Returning to Plymouth, he found a virgin forest and built a wooden house. He was about to spend a month here——

If all goes well, it's enough to learn the Disguisemagus.

……

Within the Ministry of Magic, a message was delivered to the Office of the Deputy Minister.

Umbridge was wearing pink clothes and listened to the reports from her subordinates with a solemn expression.

"Damn it! How dare Ollivander make a wand out of elder and thestral tail hair, it will bring disaster to the wizarding world!"

"No, the minister must be told immediately. It would be best if the wand could be recovered."

She hurried to the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

"Huh? It's just a wand..."

Fudge was very puzzled, "Isn't it too exaggerated? It's just a wand, not a resurrection stone. Every wizard has a wand."

"No! This is an elder wand, and the core is the thestral tail hair. Sir, do you know what this means?"

"Same material as the Elder Wand?"

"That's right!" Umbridge said excitedly: "Have you forgotten the one from Nurmengard? He hasn't..."

"Shut up!" Fudge suddenly shouted sharply, "Watch your words and deeds!"

Umbridge woke up with a start.

"Sorry, I made a mistake..." She covered her mouth in panic and couldn't help but look around.

After Fudge warned her, he sat down on the sofa, his face as heavy as water.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Umbridge also remained silent.

After a few minutes of silence in the office, Fudge spoke:

"Your suggestion is good." He first confirmed Umbridge's words, and then said: "Although the possibility is very small, we must take precautions and send people to find the wizard, supervise him, and not allow him to approach Austria.

Notify the Department of Transportation to strictly review the checkpoints leading to Austria. in addition……"

At this point, Fudge stopped talking and looked at him.

Umbridge put her ear up and heard him whisper: "Find a reliable confidant to go to Austria and observe if there is any abnormality in him."

"Yes! Your Excellency, Minister!"

Umbridge was excited to take on the task.

She knew that as long as she mentioned that person, the minister would definitely agree with her suggestion.

And the Austria that Fudge mentioned...of course she knew what it meant——

There is a little-known place in Austria called Nurmengard!

"One more thing, what should Ollivander do?" Umbridge asked.

Fudge said impatiently: "Tell him not to use elderberry and thestral tail hair to make the same wand again."

"Let him go like this?" Umbridge was a little unwilling.

"What else do you want? Put him in Azkaban??"

"Uh...I'm not..."

"Okay, let's go do some work, I still have a meeting."

"Yes." Umbridge resigned angrily.

Returning to her office, Umbridge immediately became arrogant, with her chin raised high. She waved to her subordinates and ordered him to warn Ollivander.

The men were ordered to leave.

But what he didn't know was that the moment he left the Ministry of Magic, a beetle landed on his clothes.

……

Ollivander sat in the shop with his eyes blank.

He still couldn't forget the previous scene in his mind, that special wand, and the masked guest.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The bell at the door rang.

"Welcome the light..."

Ollivander instinctively responded with a welcome, and the next second he saw the other person's appearance, someone from the Ministry of Magic.

The person who came to interrogate generally asked what happened.

Including Malzahar's appearance, how he purchased the wand, whether he knew where he was going, etc. Finally, Umbridge's warning was delivered.

Ollivander's eyes were indifferent, which made people feel chilled.

"Mr. Ollivander, this is what the Minister of Magic wants. You won't object."

"I see."

"Hmph!" The man from the Ministry of Magic threw up his sleeves and left.

The beetle slowly flew out of the wand shop and flew to a dark and deserted corner. The light was distorted, and it transformed into a middle-aged woman with light golden curly hair, wearing a pair of glasses studded with jewels.

Rita Skeeter pushed her glasses triumphantly.

"I'm worried that there is no big news, so this allows me to seize a big news..."

"The mysterious masked wizard has tamed a wand made of the same material as the Elder Wand, and it may also involve the man from Nurmengard. It's hard not to be interested!"

She has already thought about how to write news——

When a mysterious figure acquires the "Elder Wand", everyone in the Ministry of Magic panics, and the Minister of Magic is even willing to kill Ollivander's wand maker! ! !

Or write like this——

Shock! The second Elder Wand appears. Is its owner Grindelwald or Dumbledore?

let us wait and see!

"Hahaha, I have to write it quickly." Rita Skeeter murmured to herself: "I originally wanted to interview Harry Potter, so let's postpone it for now."

However, what is the true identity of Malzahar Void?

The woman thought to herself,

The surname Void sounded very rare, and she thought it was more likely to be a pseudonym.

……

Two days later, a newspaper shocked the entire British wizarding world.

The content inside is really amazing.

Rita Skeeter writes well and is a well-known journalist, although she is often criticized for making things up.

Her writing skills are undeniable.

Countless people rushed to buy it, which caused a scene like "Luoyang paper is expensive". Seeing all this, Rita Skeeter was even more proud and couldn't help but laugh while sleeping.

As a price for her fame, she received a letter of accountability from the Ministry of Magic.

Hogwarts is a pure land in the bustling wizarding world.

Only a small number of students received letters from their parents and learned the news.

But the little wizard is too young and doesn't pay attention to the internal information of this matter at all. The most he can do is discuss whether he is "Grindelwald" or "Dumbledore"...

After being noisy for a while, the students started chasing the Gem Club again because another big incident happened in the club.

Students pursue club activities;

The staff gathered in the principal's office.

"Professor McGonagall, do you think Rita Skeeter's report is true?"

Professor Flitwick asked, standing on his chair.

McGonagall slapped a newspaper on the table, "Part of it is true, part of it is false. But regarding the wand sold by Ollivander, I think it should be true."

Dumbledore held a piece of candy in his mouth and squinted his eyes happily.

After hearing Mag's words, he added:

"It's indeed true. Ollivander sent me a letter. The material of that wand is exactly the same as the Elder Wand."

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked, and all the teachers present frowned.

"Why is this? Elderwood is rarely used to make wands, not to mention the very unstable Thestral tail hair. Who can use such a wand?"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean you, Mr. Principal."

Dumbledore waved his hands indifferently and said as if nothing happened:

"The wizard chooses the wand, and the wand chooses the wizard. What a commendable fate."

Mag solemnly said: "It's been a bit uneven lately, and something like this happened again... I hope we can get through it safely."

She knew of Dumbledore's plan and was very worried that something might happen.

There was the silver-haired Paul incident a few months ago, and the second Elder Wand appeared recently. Could it be all because of Harry Potter's enrollment?

Thinking of this, she decided to give Harry more training.

"The one from Nurmengard?" Flitwick said softly.

Dumbledore lowered his eyes slightly, "It has nothing to do with him, I can guarantee that."

Seeing this situation, everyone left with peace of mind.

After all, it was Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald. He was the greatest white wizard. If he said it didn't matter, it definitely didn't matter.

until everyone leaves.

The room suddenly became empty and lonely.

The portraits of the principals on the wall may be sleeping, and no one is talking.

After a while, a sigh sounded.

"They appreciated my most painful day..."
