Hogwarts card wizard

Last week, Ron wrote to invite Kevin to his house to discuss the plan to "rescue" Harry. Although Kevin wanted to see the lives of wizards, he still didn't go.

Firstly, Emma was sick during that time, and although there was a family doctor to take care of him, Kevin was still worried and wanted to stay by her side. Secondly, Ron's house was too far away and hard to find, so unconventional means must be needed to get there.

In this way, the holidays are fleeting and the time for school to start is approaching. Kevin received a letter from Ron this morning.The content of the letter is about a thrilling "prison robbery" incident.

It turned out that it was because Harry had not received a reply letter, and it was almost time to start school.Ron and his two older brothers, George Fred, secretly drove a flying magic car modified by his father to Privet Drive to rescue Harry.

The three of them picked up Harry smoothly, and let Vernon Dursley experience the excitement of jumping off a building by the way.They had already returned to Ron's house when the letter was delivered, and asked Kevin to go to Diagon Alley to buy items together today.

The enrollment list was sent over a week ago, and Kevin didn't go to see it because of Emma's illness.This morning, Emma's body has almost recovered, just enough for him to go out and hang out with friends he hasn't seen for a long time and get the items on the list done, but when Kevin opened the enrollment list and took a look, he was not calm.

"What the hell? Is this a textbook? Is it possible that Hogwarts has a novel class in the second year?"

Kevin looked at the weird row of titles on the admission list, except for the first "Standard Spells, Level [-]", which was considered a normal book, and the row behind was an adventure album.

"Break with the Ghost"

"Walking with Ghouls"

"Walk with the Trolls"

"Wandering with Werewolves"

What makes Kevin find it ridiculous is that there is also a copy of "Holidays with Hags", good guy, why there is no "Chop Stuffing with Sun Erniang"!

The author of these strange and ludicrous books is the same person - Gilderoy Lockhart.Kevin knew all the teachers at Hogwarts, but he had never heard of this one. It should be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, because Hogwarts is the only professor of this class that changes every year.

In the first year of school, Kevin had been looking forward to this class, but he met Quirrell, the villain.At the end of the first school year, I thought there would be a similar new teacher, but after seeing a series of his own books recommended by this professor, Kevin felt that it was best not to have too much hope for the second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class. .

After breakfast, he simply cleaned up. Kevin refused Emma's request to accompany him, and went to Diagon Alley by himself.Although the time agreed by Ron in the letter was in the afternoon, Kevin wanted to buy something not on the list and visited Ollivander by the way.

Take the car to the Leaky Cauldron, and after entering Diagon Alley, Kevin first went to the Yila Owl Shop.Although Kevin prefers dogs and cats to owls, he also appreciates the convenience of owls after a year of wizard time.Kevin chose a black and white eagle owl, with a pair of sharp eyes and a unique hairstyle that looks fierce and domineering.

The horned owl's eye feathers extend beyond its head, and a patch of hair protrudes upwards from the center of its head.Seeing this shape, Kevin immediately named Leo. Since the father of Otto and the mother of Otto have appeared, it is reasonable to have more Leo. Maybe we can really get the Otto brothers together in the future.

Kevin didn't take his new pet directly. After paying, he entrusted the store to take care of it temporarily and then came to Ollivander's wand shop.

The wand shop is still as crowded as it was a year ago, and Ollivander's presence is still elusive.

"Good morning, Mr. Allie."

Kevin greeted: "Good morning, Mr. Ollivander."

Ollivander asked, "Is there anything I can do with my wand? How about your wand?"

Kevin said: "That wand is very useful. This time I am here to apologize for my rude behavior last year, and secondly, I need to ask you for some things."

It was still early and no students came to visit, so Ollivander did not refuse.Kevin explained his reason for coming, first told Ollivander about what happened in Dumbledore's office in the first grade, and then showed the magic card.

After seeing Kevin's card magic, Ollivander's originally lifeless eyes became bright, and he said, "Merlin! Is this the magic recorded by that predecessor? It's really incredible."

Kevin heard the words and said: "This time I came here for this purpose. I accidentally found out that my father had left this kind of card, and then researched this alternative way of casting spells by mistake. But until now I don't know the reason, and I think this kind of card magic should not be limited to the current level, I want to know something about it, Professor Dumbledore said you can tell me."

Ollivander said: "Dumbledore praised me too much, but I may be able to answer the question about the wand. You heard that the group of special wizards in the Middle Ages did record a few words in a book handed down in my family. See Considering the way you express magic, now I have reason to believe that the ancestor of the Ollivander family should also be inspired by this to have the idea of ​​reforming the wand."

Kevin asked: "So, has anyone in your ancestors seen similar card magic?"

Ollivander said: "I don't know, at least there is no relevant record in the family information I have seen. And this is the first time I have seen this kind of magic card."

Kevin was a little disappointed, nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Mr. Ollivander."

"Does that mean you're leaving?" Ollivander asked.

Kevin looked at him curiously and said, "Is there a problem?"

Ollivander said: "I really can't answer you about history, but I can tell you that whether you use a magic wand or a magic card in your hand, in the final analysis, everything is due to the wand and the wand user."

"What do you mean?"

Ollivander said: "Actually, I have heard about you this year. Everyone is saying that there is a freshman who uses cards to cast magic in Hogwarts. What I will say next, if you want to believe it, you can use it as a reference , if you find it unbelievable, you can take it as me talking nonsense."

Kevin made a gesture of invitation, and Ollivander said: "Whether it is the complicated and time-consuming magic before the invention of the wand or the magic after the invention of the wand, wizards want to cast magic through these guided magical energy in the body. , so the performance of all magic lies in the wizard's own ability, and has nothing to do with the magic spell itself."

"Whether it is the Ollivander family or other wand-making families in Europe, we all choose the material we think is suitable, and we all choose the perfect wand heart. Mr. Alley, do you think your wand really has no core? ?"
