Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Ah, here it is again.

Looking at Ollivander who was in a sluggish state, Dumbledore couldn't help but raised his right hand and rubbed his slightly sore forehead. From yesterday to today, he had seen similar situations too many times. Lina always seems to be able to question the common perceptions of everyone in the magic world from some very strange angles.

Ahem, Mr. Ollivander, you don’t have to worry too much about this problem.As far as I know, most Hogwarts graduates still use the wands they purchased when they enrolled.Let's continue to choose wands as usual.

Dumbledore coughed slightly, glared majestically at Elena, who was still about to say something, and patted Ollivander's shoulder gently in an attempt to get everything back on track.

Oh, yes, yes.Honey, please raise your arms.

Ollivander suddenly came back to his senses, lightly snapped his fingers, and the silver tape measure automatically unfolded and flew around to measure Elena's size.Ollivander himself was walking between the shelves, busy moving down the long box containing the wand.

Every Ollivander wand contains super powerful magical substances, and this is its essence, Miss Kaslana.

Ollivander returned to Elena with a large number of rickety long boxes, and explained that we used unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, dragon tendons, snake nerves, etc. as the core of the wand. If you want to fully utilize these powerful magic items, you need to be at least four or five years older.

Dragon's Tendons Snake's Nerves

The silver-haired little loli keenly captured the words in Ollivander's mouth, and quickly asked before Dumbledore could stop him. These magical substances can still remain active after being stripped from living magical creatures. Um, am I talking about magical properties?

Of course, in a sense, every wand has a life of its own.This is an art, not just a stick.

The old man nodded proudly. The Ollivander family's determination of the wand core and wand wood materials, the process of integrating them, and the selection of the ideal owner of the wand have always been secrets coveted by other wand makers.

All right.

Regarding this topic, Ollivander obviously didn't have much desire to discuss it in depth. He took out a wand from the long box in his arms and handed it to the front. Then, Miss Elena, try this one.Grapevine wood and dragon heart tendon, ten and three-quarter inches, may be more suitable for you who have extraordinary wisdom.

Gollum~

At that moment, Ollivander was sure he heard a very slight swallowing sound.

Elena took the wand and murmured quietly.

In other words, the sealed magic ingredients in each wand have a long shelf life.

As she spoke, the silver-haired little loli's eyes gradually became intense. She raised her head and looked at the densely packed long boxes around her. She lightly licked her upper lip with her little tongue. Each wand was a miniature can.

hum~

The wand held in Elena's hand trembled strangely, and the sheen flowing on the wooden surface dimmed instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Oh my God.Before Elena could react, Mr. Ollivander's expression changed and he immediately took the wand away from her hand.

Maple wood, 13 inches long, heart tendon of the fire dragon.Try it this time. Before the silver-haired little Loli even grasped the wand, as soon as her fingertips touched the wand, the wand trembled slightly and then turned gray.

No, don’t try this one. It’s beech and unicorn tail hair. It’s 9 inches 7. It’s tolerant and full of wisdom. It’s very flexible.

As Elena tried wands one after another, she could clearly see that a series of fine beads of sweat had appeared on Mr. Ollivander's forehead, and they were piled on the benches and floor of the entire wand shop. He picked up all kinds of magic wands, and without exception, they all showed a dead silence.

Even in the later stage, like some kind of terrible infectious disease, row after row of wands lost their activity under Elena's fingers, and the entire wand shop was filled with an indescribably weird atmosphere.

Hey, hey, that's a bit too much.

Elena raised her eyebrows unhappily. Why did other protagonists see all kinds of strange lights after entering the wand shop, but she was like a god of plague, and all the wands seemed to be dead when they were in her hands.

Calm down, don't rush, don't rush.

Ollivander took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a deep breath. He didn't know whether it was more about comforting Elena or about self-comfort.

After dealing with wands for so many years, Ollivander has never seen a wizard who can make wands feel fear like this. Yes, it is fear.

As the caster of these wands, he could definitely feel the slight tremor from each wand, as if a small animal had encountered a vicious predator.

A um, rather special customer.I think you can always find one here that is least afraid of you. Um, I mean the one that is most suitable and close to you. Let me think about it, right?

Ollivander glanced at Dumbledore, slapped his forehead suddenly in realization, rushed into the shelf and pulled out a long box that seemed to have been deliberately placed in the corner, and handed it to Elena solemnly.

Extraordinary combination, holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long.I think there should be no problem with the holly wood, which symbolizes patience and perseverance, and the phoenix feathers, which symbolize courage and hope.

Um, Professor Dumbledore

Elena blinked and subconsciously looked back at Dumbledore. Isn't this the wand of the savior Harry Potter? She wasn't worried that the wand chose her, she was afraid of what might happen. I accidentally scared this little wand to death. What will I do when Harry comes?

Is there any problem? As recommended by Mr. Ollivander, try it first.

Dumbledore smiled gently and had no other reaction.

Oh, to be honest, I have an ominous premonition

Elena sighed and picked up the wand under Ollivander's expectant and anxious eyes.

As she held the end of the wand, the entire Ollivander's Wand Shop suddenly remembered a loud phoenix chirp, and red light flickered from the head of the wand, dyeing the space with a warm golden color. .

Mr. Ollivander breathed a sigh of relief, clapped with a smile on his face and said: Oh, great, really, great.

The wand held in Elena's hand seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, trembling violently to an unprecedented degree, which was more intuitive and violent than the state shown by all previous wands.

swoosh~

pat.

Next, the crazy phoenix wand broke away from the palm of the silver-haired little loli and rushed upwards. After hitting the hard ceiling hard, it lost strength and fell to the ground again.

Um, so this wand, which symbolizes courage, was scared away by me.

Elena had a dark face and rubbed her palms with an expression on her face. Because she was too hard, there was an obvious red mark on her palms.She had decided that during her time at Hogwarts, she must eat phoenix meat to relieve her anger.

probably.

Ollivander nodded sluggishly, glanced at Elena and the wand corpses scattered around her in confusion, and fell into a long silence. Can't find the right wand.

At this time, Dumbledore, who had been quietly acting as a spectator, suddenly broke and said.

It looks like, Garrick, you need to order an extra wand for Miss Elena Kaslana, just like you did before.

In fact, before Garrick Ollivander took over the family business, most wandsmiths in the wizarding world were relatively casual in this regard.A customer will often hand over to the wandmaker a magical substance that they prefer, have inherited from their ancestors, or that the family trusts.

This perception did not change until Garrick Ollivander, the Mr. Ollivander in front of them, appeared.

Garrick Ollivander was a purist who insisted that the core of the best wand would never be the whisker of a customer's beloved catnives, or the fresh white branch that saved the customer's father from dying of poison. , or the hair of a mermaid the customer encountered while on holiday in Scotland.

In contrast, the best wands contain a magically powerful core made of carefully selected materials that complement the properties of the core, and are chosen from the wizards who find the wand most attractive to it.

Although there was initial resistance to this subversive approach to wandmaking, it was soon discovered that Ollivander's wands were superior to any other.

It seems that this is all that can be done with customized wands.

Ollivander frowned. Although he was a little reluctant, it seemed that this was the only way at the moment. After all, the long-established Ollivander family's signature could not be flawed in his hands, but there was still another one. question.

I have a few options for the material of the wand, but Albus, what should I use for the core?

a hair.

My hair.

Dumbledore's and Elena's voices sounded almost at the same time.

Ollivander thought carefully, spread his hands, and said seriously.

No way.If I'm not wrong, Miss Elena Kaslana should be a half-Veela. The magic material contained in her hair is not enough to construct a powerful wand.

She didn't need an overly powerful wand.Dumbledore shook his head. The magical potential in her body was already amazing enough.For her, the most important thing is to learn how to control, rather than pursuing more powerful power.I think this shouldn't be difficult for you, Garrick.

As he spoke, Dumbledore waved his wand gently, and a long silver hair fell off silently and floated into Ollivander's hand.

Well, okay.If you insist.However, be prepared beforehand, custom-made wands are not cheap.As for material, I recommend choosing black walnut.

Ollivander pondered for a while, then shrugged helplessly and agreed.

Wait, hiss, there is one more small request.

Elena gritted her teeth, pulled out several long silver hairs from her head in one breath, and handed them to Ollivander's hands with tears in her eyes.

Ouch~ It hurts so much~~

Then, the little loli begged with a sweet and fawning face, Grandpa Ollivander, can you help me make two wands? After all, I am special. If one breaks, I still have a spare.

The two Ollivanders looked at the silver-haired little Loli in front of them with dumbfounded laughter. Did the little girl think wand casting was a simple craftsman's job? She shook her head and said proudly.

Every Ollivanders wand is unique, so

Ahem, Dumbledore looked at the teary silver-haired little Lolita and cleared his throat. I remember that there was a community of unicorns living in the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, out of cherishment of magical materials, we occasionally use the same materials to make wands.Leave an address and I'll have it sent to you by owl a week later.

Ollivander changed his words without hesitation, not noticing the subtle change in Dumbledore's expression next to him.

Well, thank you Professor Dumbledore, thank you Mr. Ollivander.

Elena was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly for the black walnut wood, which is a very rare wood for making chopsticks, ah, it is the top wood for magic wands.

ps: Regarding the previous chapter, it should be noted that the protagonist did not propose a new concept, but inspired Ollivander from the path of studying materials and wand cores to the path of the alien wand form.Just like after the emergence of hard pens, quill pens gradually disappeared from mainstream society.Since magic wands became system production, exotic wands have completely withdrawn from the market.However, the short and simple stick-shaped wand has become a mainstream format, but this does not mean that it has complete advantages and applicability in all scenarios. For example, some people like big swords and big sticks.

ps2: I have placed a description of the wand material in the extra chapter. It was transferred from potterre. Young wizards who are interested can take a look.

ps3: Please give me your recommendation votes, 嘤嘤嘤~~This is a huge chapter of nearly 4000 words.

ps4: I stayed up late to write this chapter and finished the wand plot in one go. This way, everyone won’t have to wait too long.You can watch my plot smoothly.
