[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Chapter 2 The Wand and the Birthday Gift

Mr. Potter understood the children's long-awaited eagerness for the wand very well, so he immediately took them to Ollivander in Diagon Alley through the Floo network without hesitation.Over the years, the Potters have passed by the shop countless times when they took their twins to Florin's Cold Drinks to eat ice cream. Every time, the twins could only stare at the lonely magic wand lying on the faded purple cushion in the window. , imagining what his wand would look like.

But today, they finally had the chance to walk into the store and were stunned speechless by the thousands of cardboard boxes stacked almost to the ceiling.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Potter, oh, have you brought your two children to choose a wand?" Seeing a guest, Mr. Ollivander, the owner of the shop, came out from behind the shelf full of wands. "Soon, it's time for them to enter Hogwarts too, but I think you bought the wand not so long ago... It was my father's work, twelve inches, oak, loyal, honest...very for you."

"You have a really good memory." Mr. Potter smiled at Mr. Ollivander, and then looked around the shop. "It seems that you have produced a lot of new works over the years."

"Yes, yes, I will help them find the most suitable one..."

This was the first time that the twins met Mr. Ollivander, the owner of the store. He had a light voice, a pair of big light-colored eyes, and looked mysterious and awe-inspiring.

"Hello." Jody swallowed, controlled her nervousness, and nodded to Mr. Ollivander, but she soon regretted it.

"What a polite little princess." Because Mr. Ollivander bent down and looked at her in front of Jody, without blinking his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her. "Hello, little princess of the Potter family."

James obviously felt that his sister was under great pressure when facing this strange old man, so he stepped forward: "Mr. Ollivander, do we want to choose a convenient wand among so many wands?"

"No, no," Mr. Ollivander then turned his attention to James, and looked at James up close with the same oppressive gaze. "Little Mr. Potter, the wand chooses the wizard, not the wizard chooses the wand. You must remember this very, very clearly, it is very important..."

"Uh..." James looked at his father for help.

But before Mr. Potter came to rescue his children, Ollivander resumed his standing posture and took out a silver measuring tape from his pocket, "Mr. Potter, which hand do you like to use?"

"Right hand, I think." James replied dryly.

"Where's the little princess?"

"Left hand, sir."

"Keep your arms up. Oh princess, you too." Ollivander finally started taking measurements, pulling out two tape measures and measuring James and Jody at the same time.From shoulders to fingertips, from wrists to elbows, from shoulders to the floor, from knees to underarms, around the head... even the distance between the two nostrils is not missed.Fortunately, such meticulous measurement work is automatically operated by the tape measure, and there is no need to face Mr. Ollivander at close range, which makes the twins feel much more relaxed.

While the tape was at work, Mr. Ollivander himself shuttled back and forth between the shelves, picking out some long boxes and stacking them at the twins' feet. "Try this one, Mr. Potter, oh, it's not suitable for you, how about giving it to the little princess to try?"

... After about two hours, the twins, exhausted from trying, finally chose their own wands.Submerged in the sea of ​​wands during this period, they didn't even notice that Mr. Potter, who had waited until his patience ran out, left the store alone to buy other things they needed for school: textbooks, cauldrons, and necessary common potion materials and tool.

In the end, James got an eleven-inch wand with a mahogany core and a unicorn hair core, while Jody got a fourteen-inch wand with a maple core and a snake nerve core.The twins were extremely pleased with their wands, and Mr Potter paid Mr Ollivander fifteen galleons for it.

Holding the box containing his own wand, James couldn't put it down, and he couldn't wait to go home and open the box to try a few spells.However, Jody on the side suddenly said: "Oh, Dad, I don't think the wand is our birthday present?"

"Huh?" Mr. Potter obviously didn't expect his daughter to say that.

"You see, we must have a magic wand no matter what..." Jody looked up at his father, his black eyes blinked, and there was a sly smile on his mouth. "So this shouldn't count as our birthday present, should it?"

Mr. Potter looked at his daughter who was negotiating with him confidently, and smiled helplessly.Jody wasn't always a prankster like her brother, but she was always more capable of keeping her parents out of her way than James was.Fortunately, Jody is still well-behaved, otherwise Mr. Potter felt that he would fall into the torment of irregular headaches more frequently-although he never regretted raising such a pair of children.

James, on the other hand, looked at his younger sister in admiration. The joy of having a wand made him completely ignore the birthday present. Fortunately, his younger sister was smarter than him.

In the end, Mr. Porter had no choice but to agree to give each of the twins an owl as this year's birthday gift and entrance gift - he specially added the entrance gift, otherwise he is not sure if his daughter will get an extra one at that time Entrance gift.

Sure enough, Mr. Porter saw a look of regret on his daughter's face as he wished.

But the birthday party that night still made both Jody and James feel very satisfied.Although there were not many people at the party in the evening, all the guests were wizards, so the twins got some very interesting things, and also ate a lot of food that Mrs. Potter would never serve on the table when facing Muggles , such as a birthday cake that sings the birthday song.

As an ancient family of pure-blood wizards, the Potters are not aristocratic, and their social circle is not extensive, but they obviously have a considerable level. For example, the guests attending the party today include officials from the Ministry of Magic, writers of Hogwarts Historian of the History of Magic course textbook and certain professors who are currently working at Hogwarts.

However, in the eyes of the twins who don't know the inside story, these famous people only have two identities: friends of their parents and elders who love them.It will not be until a few months later that they will be surprised to reunite with some elders they thought they were familiar with in a new environment, establish a new relationship, and stimulate them to realize something they have not considered.
