Hogwarts Staff Maker

Liu Sen was pushing a shopping cart filled with new and interesting things he had just bought.

A stack of freshman magic textbooks, a complete set of crucibles and glass bottles, three sets of wizard robes and protective gloves made of dragon skin!

That’s right, Liu Sen is about to become a little wizard and go to the legendary Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to study!

Liu Sen was shocked beyond words when he received the admission letter.

He was originally a member of the army of time travelers, and lived a peaceful life in the original Earth Celestial Empire. Unexpectedly, after an accident, he inexplicably turned into a baby when he opened his eyes.

Liu Sen has black hair and blue eyes, and is a mixed race of Chinese and Western. His father in this life is a pure Chinese, a university physics professor. His mother is a native British, working as a financial investment consultant for a large company.

He always thought that he had returned to the ordinary 80s, and that God had given him a script to be reborn as a tycoon in Europe and the United States.

When Liu Sen was 3 years old, his mother Julie used Liu Sen's New Year's money for the next 10 years to invest in a small company selling computers. You should know that the computer giant IBM was at its peak at that time, and the small company was abused and on the verge of bankruptcy.

Who would have thought that a year later, the market value of the small company would soar, and the dividends would make people count the money until their hands cramped...

This is all basic operation for Liu Sen. After all, the small company is called Apple, and the ups and downs of Boss Jobs can bring him many opportunities to get rich.

Later, Xiao Liusen invested in Walmart, Gillette razors, Chrysler cars... Often these junk stocks that were inconspicuous at the time, made his family rich with their returns a few years later.

Just when he was preparing to continue to take advantage of the information gap of the times and start his legendary life of getting rich, the owl delivering the letter crashed into his window!

Unlike Liu Sen's petrified reaction on the spot, Liu Sen's parents were surprisingly calm when they saw the Hogwarts admission letter.

Even when the short Professor Flitwick came to visit and performed a levitation spell, Liu Sen's parents remained calm throughout the whole process. (Little wizards from Muggle families will have their teachers visit their homes before they enter school)

After Professor Flitwick left.

"Why are you so calm? This is a magic school! There is magic in this world! You don't believe it? It's normal not to believe it. After all, dad, you have a doctorate in physics, and mom, you graduated from the Department of Finance at Oxford..."

Liu Sen’s father: “Believe it. I told you that your grandfather learned magic when he was a child.”

Liu Sen: "Huh? The stories you told me when I was a kid are true?! My great-grandfather's family is full of wizards?"

"What position did your great grandfather hold in the Chinese cultivation world (similar to the European wizarding world)? At that time, China was at war. Your grandfather felt that China had already won the battle in the cultivation world, but the people were still in dire straits, so he went abroad to study science. Or did we..."

"You were one of the first batch of returned scientists and weapons design experts in New China. Under the influence of your grandfather, you also became fascinated with scientific research. Later, you went abroad to study and met my mother. Then I was born. I found out later, but this story about the magic family is actually true!"

Liu Sen's father added: "In China, we should call it a cultivation family, and your grandfather's research major is nuclear physics."

Liu Sen turned stiffly to look at his mother and asked, "Do you know that my grandfather's story is true?"

"Oh, I know. But your uncle and I's biological parents are both wizards. We have no magical talent, so we were sent to a boarding house... They called us..."

"Dumb," Liu Sen's father said softly, hugging his wife's shoulders.

"Yes, Squib. Your grandparents are both wizards, and they are from a branch of a large family. I heard it from your uncle. I was only three years old at that time! Your uncle was only eight years old! They are really too much! Do you know? We haven't received a letter or a greeting card in all these years! Not even once!"

Both Liu Sen and his son wanted to comfort her, but Mrs. Liu didn't seem very sad.

Liu Sen "No wonder you never mentioned them! I thought you and your uncle were orphans... and the stories your uncle told me were all true!"

"I didn't remember anything at that time, but your uncle remembered everything and was even sadder... He often drank alone. But it didn't matter, we all made a lot of money later! We lived a good life!"

………………

So Liu Sen, who was destined to be connected with magic, happily came to Diagon Alley and started his shopping journey before school.

Until the shopping list in his hand was almost completed, the amount of gold Jialong in his pocket had not dropped much.

Weighing the heavy bag, Liu Sen said helplessly, "My parents are too worried about the prices here. They forced me to exchange so much money at Gringotts. I have to deposit some of it back later. The wizarding world is too backward. They still use metal currency, and...what the hell are these conversion units?"

(1 Gold Galleon = 17 Silver Sickles, 1 Silver Sickle = 29 Bronze Knuts)

Despite all the complaints, Liu Sen still couldn't hide his joy. In his previous life, he liked this magical world very much, and now the door to the magical world has been opened to him.

"Let me see what I haven't bought yet...smocks, hat, cloak, book, all bought...what else?...a wand!"

After asking three adult wizards, I finally found this shabby little shop in an inconspicuous location.

It was really small and shabby, with faded cushions in the window and a solitary magic wand on a dusty display stand.

The paint on the door had peeled off in gold letters, which read: "Ollivanders, Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC".

Hiss! What a great wand-making shop! No, a wand-making shop.

With the sound of a clear bell, Liu Sen pushed open the door of the store, but the scene before him somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

The house was in a mess, with boxes, wands, and wrapping papers piled all over the floor, as if a husky had just run over the house not long ago.

And a gray-haired old man was waving the magic wand in his hand, patiently cleaning up everything with magic, making the wands that had not found their owners float up and return to the boxes where they were originally placed.

As he sorted, he kept muttering, "There has never been a situation like this before. Of course, this is the Boy-Who-Lived, and that Phoenix Feather just happened to be... Oh, what a magical coincidence. Let me see... Walnut Unicorn Tail Hair, of course, it should be placed here! What about you? Willow Phoenix Tail Feather, I remember you, let me see... Yes, it's right here. Ah! What a mess, haven't been this messy in years!"

"Hello?"

Liu Sen's voice finally caught the old man's attention.

"Oh! Hello young sir, I'm sure you need a handy wand!"

"Yes, my name is Liu Sen, are you Mr. Ollivander? I heard many freshmen discussing their wands on the street, including their parents' wands, all of which were made by you. This is really amazing."

"Oh, of course kiddo! Ollivander! Started in 382 BC! A skill passed down through our family for generations! Haha!"

Hearing the old man's proud response, Liu Sen also smiled. This old man made wands for all the teachers and students of Hogwarts, and even almost all the wands in the entire British wizarding world were made by him! He was also one of the three great wand-making masters in Europe. Such a wand-making master deserves respect and praise.

Ollivander swung his wand faster, and soon there was room to move around in the store again.

"Don't mind me kid, sometimes... well, the rare times people choose their wands they lose control a little bit."

Then Liu Sen thought he was back in the clothing store, because Ollivander, like Mrs. Platinum in the dress shop, used a ruler to measure his arm length, height, head circumference and other dimensions. After staring at Liu Sen for a while, the old craftsman had a clue in his mind.

"Then let's start with this one! Nine and a half inches, holly wood, with a core made of fireball dragon nerves! Give it a try!"

Liu Sen took it and thought to himself, is this a magic wand? It looks so plain, and it would take some time to find it among the dead branches if it fell in the woods!

Maybe not every one of them is so pristine, but judging from the appearance alone it is hard to believe that wizards cannot perform complex magic without this 'tree fork'.

"Wave it, kid!"

Liu Sen came back to his senses and quickly waved the branch, imagining it as a command staff. The air in front of him contained not only oxygen, nitrogen and dust, but also an energy called magic power.

There was a dull sound, accompanied by a burst of sparks, and the wand boxes that had just been neatly stacked in the corner of the wall opened and closed automatically one after another, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a rhythm.

If the force wasn't so strong and the stacked boxes seemed to be tipping over, Liu Sen would have liked to listen to what song it was.

But he caught a glimpse of the old man's quickly extended hand, and Liu Sen quickly put the wand in Ollivander's hand.

"It feels good!" Liu Sen said happily.

"Not bad?!" Ollivander shook his head slightly, took back his wand without surprise, and found another one.

After that, he tried more than 10 or 20 wands in succession. Liu Sen only remembered that the opening and closing of the magic wand box had a rhythm of "We well rock you".

But Ollivander was scratching his gray hair anxiously.

"Impossible! How come two of them are like this today?" Ollivander muttered in a low voice.

Liu Sen also put away his playful thoughts. In fact, he really wanted to find his own magic wand as soon as possible. After all, it was the most crucial prop for learning magic.

"It's okay kid, remember it's the wand that chooses its master, not the master that chooses the wand!"

But then the two tried almost all the wands, and even Ollivander, who had been a professional wand maker for many years, lost his composure. From his mumbling words, he even showed deep doubts about his craftsmanship. "Impossible! Even the boy was found!"

Liu Sen's heart began to beat fast, but he calmed himself down and comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe my posture or mentality is wrong? Maybe I can find it after trying a few more times."

But Ollivander looked helpless and aggrieved, and opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

Seeing the old man's expression, Liu Sen also realized the seriousness of the problem! Could it be that he was a dud? No, no, no, it couldn't be a dud!

As long as he receives the notice, it means he has a talent for magic, and it is impossible for him not to be able to buy his own wand!

In that short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but were rejected one by one. Confused, Liu Sen paced back and forth in the messy wand shop.

He picked up a thick log from Ollivander's desk and started beating it with his hands.

"You said it's possible that my talent is too strong so I can't find it... Well, let's not talk about this possibility for now. Then, then, then... Is it possible that a wand suitable for me has not been made yet?"

Liu Sen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had finally come into contact with the magical world of magic, and no one would be willing to let it end before it even began.

He waved the black log in his hand, which was as good as a rolling pin, and spoke at an unnaturally fast speed: "Mr. Ollivander! You must have a way, right? You can't let me go to school without a wand!"

In his excitement, he even forgot to address the old man with respect, let alone notice his expression of disbelief and shock.

Liu Sen gestured at the black log in his hand: "How about you customize one for me? There must be some unused material or core material combination, right? Price is not a problem! Master? Master Ollivander?"

Ollivander, startled, looked at Liu Sen and the log in his hand.

Faced with such a meaningful gaze, Liu Sen lowered his head and looked at his hands.
