Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 7 If Wild Extraordinary People Have Money

What would happen if a wild Beyonder had money?

No one has ever considered this issue. After all, it is difficult for wild Extraordinary people to make a lot of money safely without breaking the law. At most, they can only make their lives less bad.

But Harley really experienced the joy of having money today, especially after confirming that these wizard currencies have good purchasing power.

Harry first went to buy Hogwarts school uniforms. After all, according to Dumbledore, it would take some time to make the uniforms after Mrs. Malkin measured Harry's body data.

In addition to the school uniforms required by Hogwarts, Harry also ordered several additional sets of clothing made of stronger materials to facilitate wearing when conducting occult research.

Especially after hearing from Madam Malkin that there were dragon skin costumes, Harry really wanted to buy one and try to see if it could be made into magical items.

After all, in Harley's original world, at least in the northern continent, creatures like dragons only existed in legends, and most extraordinary people had never seen them.

It is said that the mythical form of the Extraordinary passed by the audience is some kind of giant dragon, but Harley has not received particularly detailed information.

However, after asking about the price of the clothes, Harley temporarily gave up this idea.

When buying clothes, Dumbledore chose to wait outside the store, so he didn't see Harry's spending ability.

During the rest of the trip, Dumbledore witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

When buying ordinary teaching tools, in addition to crucibles and brass scales, Harry also bought some items that seemed to be full of magic.

Harry's explanation to Dumbledore was that she was curious about these things, such as the magic contained in moving star charts.

But in fact, Harley wanted to study the structure of the magical items in this world, and use her spiritual vision to spy on the magical items.

After all, with an old man at the demigod level next to him, Harry still didn't dare to use his spiritual vision casually.

At Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, in addition to necessary textbooks, Harley also purchased a large number of "miscellaneous books", ranging from humanities, history, and politics in the wizarding world to the production methods of rare potions and the properties of special materials.

This made Dumbledore very happy, at least Harry didn't lie to him. She took so much money, and most of it was used to buy books.

However, Harley was a little disappointed. She couldn't find any magical items with combat power, or books about making these magical items.

But Harry didn't think that there were no such items in the wizarding world. She could only judge that it was because the official organization, the Ministry of Magic, had restricted these somewhat dangerous items in order to maintain its stability.

This made Harley very unhappy. Ordinary British society still prohibits guns! But thinking about the attitude of the churches on the northern continent towards magical items, Harry also understood.

But she speculated that there must be some shady places selling these interesting gadgets. Even if the UK doesn't have it, the world is so big, there must be somewhere.

But this is not something that needs to be considered in the short term.

After Harley bought a beautiful snowy owl from the Eela Owl Shop, Dumbledore looked at Harley's list.

"There is only one most important item left now, and that is your wand." As he said that, Dumbledore walked in the other direction.

"The wand is the most important item for a wizard. It is difficult to cast spells without a wand. Of course, there are many powerful wizards who can cast spells without a wand.

But for little wizards, it is better to have a magic wand, at least it can assist them very effectively. "

The two of them walked to the last store. The store was small and shabby, the gold sign on the door had peeled off, and there was only a wand on display in the window.

The whole store looks like it's about to close down from the outside, and you wouldn't have any expectations for what's inside.

But Harley looked solemn, because there was a lot of unusual spirituality in this store.

However, considering that Dumbledore said that most wizards in this world need to use wands to cast spells, then this store is equivalent to an arms store, specializing in selling magical items used in battle.

So it is understandable that it would give Harley this feeling.

As soon as they entered the store, there was an old man standing in front of them. The old man was wiping a wand at this time, and there was an empty box next to him.

"Good afternoon, dear Albus, and this young lady," the old man greeted.

"Good afternoon, Garrick. Next to me is Miss Harry Potter." Dumbledore also greeted and introduced Harry, and then introduced the old man in front of Harry,

"Harry, this is Mr. Garrick Ollivander, the best wand maker in Britain."

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." Harry curtsied slightly.

"Hello." Ollivander was obviously a little surprised. He looked at Dumbledore and asked with his eyes.

But Dumbledore didn't say anything, and gestured to "read the newspaper in a few days".

Ollivander nodded knowingly, stopped asking, and began to introduce the wands, starting with the wands used by Harry's parents.

But it's obvious that Harley is picky. After trying dozens of wands, none of them were willing to accept her.

Even if some wands accepted her, it seemed that they were just because they admired her strength.

"What a picky little wizard." Ollivander said thoughtfully, "Let's try this one.

Holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches. The phoenix feather in this wand comes from the same phoenix as the phoenix feather in the other wand.

The other wand was sold to the famous Dark Lord, and once left you with a lightning-shaped scar.

But now, that scar seems to be gone. "

As he said that, Ollivander looked at Harley's forehead, but there was no longer the iconic lightning scar there.

After the soul fragment went out of control and Harley found a way to remove it, the scar that could not be healed no matter what medicine was used became erasable.

Unfortunately, this wand was not suitable either, and had exactly the same reaction as the other wands: usable, but listless.

Dumbledore watched this scene with a thoughtful expression.

"Okay, Miss Potter, I originally thought this wand would suit you, but it turns out it doesn't match you." Ollivander sighed, "Then let's try again..."

"Mr. Ollivander," Harry interrupted suddenly, "I think the core of my wand may have something to do with snakes."

This was not a guess out of thin air, but Harley remembered her own mythical creature form - a snake-haired woman who looked like Medusa.

Therefore, Harry intuitively believed that a wand with a snake core would be more in tune with her.

Ollivander showed a surprised look:

"Using materials from snake creatures as the wand core? I rarely do this, but wand manufacturers in the Americas prefer it.

But it’s definitely worth a try, after all it’s your gut feeling, isn’t it?

I remember I still had a few wands made with the nerves of snake-like creatures as cores. "

As he spoke, Ollivander began to rummage among the wands, and finally found a dusty box.

He gently brushed the dust off the box and opened it. Inside was a slender wand.

Ollivander gently stroked the wand while introducing: "My grandfather made this.

At that time, he wanted to copy the wands of the four founders, so he always imitated the materials of the wands of the four founders.

But after he finished making a certain batch of wands, he went out drinking to relax, and suddenly he went crazy. "

"Crazy?" Harry asked doubtfully, and an expression of interest appeared on Dumbledore's face. After all, he had never heard Ollivander talk about the history of his grandfather.

"Yeah, crazy." Ollivander said softly,

"However, St. Mungo's Hospital diagnosed that he had a direct brain problem as he drank a lot of alcohol after performing high-intensity work.

The wand in my hand is one of the last wands he made, and it is also the last wand in that batch to use snake nerve as the core.

But I don’t know exactly what kind of snake nerve it is, because this is the only box that doesn’t have the source and type of the wand core marked on it. "

As he spoke, Ollivander handed the wand to Harry:

"Try it! A snakewood wand. The core of the wand is the nerve of some kind of snake. It is twelve inches long.

The last wands my grandfather made were very powerful, and this one must be no exception. "
