The leader of HP arrives

Chapter 49 Magic Wand

This is a small and dilapidated shop. The sign on the door has been mottled, and it says Ollivander - making excellent wands since 380 BC.A wand stood alone on a faded purple cushion in a dusty window.

Drake frowned, but Dongfang Bubai had already pushed open the door first, and there was a crisp bell ringing from the back of the store, echoing hollowly among thousands of boxes that were slow to line up on shelves, which made people feel creepy .Aside from the boxes that nearly filled the ceiling, there was only a crude table and a bench in the shop, and there was no sign of Lucius' visit.

"Hello." A low, soft voice sounded suddenly, and Draco took a step back subconsciously, only to realize that the old wizard in front of him had a pair of light-colored eyes, and the color of the pupils was so light that in the dim light It was like looking straight into a pair of hideous silver eyes with no pupils.

"Mr. Ollivander." Dongfang Bubai took out a box from his pocket and put it on the table. The black wooden box left a clear mark on the thick dust, "I heard that you can repair damaged wand."

"Of course, as long as this wand is sold from me." Ollivander winked at Draco, reaching across the box, "I remember every wand I sold, as long as it was sold by me." I can repair wands I make myself."

The old wizard's fingers trembled, and the black lid fell to the floor, kicking up a speck of dust.In the box lay a wand of yew, the heart of which had been snapped off, and the tail feathers of the phoenix had come out of the wood.He remembered every wand he'd ever sold, thirteen and a half inches long, yew, phoenix-feathered, to his own Dumbledore's office.Many years ago, it was Dumbledore who bought this wand from himself with a Hogwarts freshman, and later, that boy became-You-Know-Who.

"How long will it take to fix it?"

"The core of the staff is completely damaged. If I want to repair it, I must find a new phoenix tail feather. This feather was originally from Principal Dumbledore's phoenix. If the core of the staff is replaced, the effect may not be as good as the original— -", Ollivander shivered, in the dim light, a pair of blood-colored eyes were faintly visible in the shadow of the hood, "I must know how this wand broke, so that I can find a way to repair it."

"It's just an accident. This seat can give you enough time. Before that, Mr. Malfoy needs to find a new wand first." Dongfang glanced lightly at the wand in the box, and didn't care much about the wand's repair.In fact, the wand has become less handy as the magic has grown.Maybe it was a psychological effect, or maybe it was the reason for the increase in magic power. He always felt that this wand with Dumbledore's pet feather as the core was repelling his own magic power. Although this repulsion was very slight and could not even cause any trouble, it still is a fact of existence.

A hollow bell rang again, the door was pushed open forcefully, Harry and Hagrid walked in through the door, two huge ice creams immediately brought a sweet smell to the shop.

"Oh, yes, yes, I know I'll see you soon, Harry Potter." Ollivander coughed, closed the box in his hand, and stuffed it into the table "And you, Rubeus Hagrid, sixteen inches long, oak, a little bent, eh? That's a fine wand, too bad they must have broken it when they fired you."

"Yes, they broke my wand." Hagrid's face became embarrassed, the ice cream melted, and the half-giant had to swallow a few mouthfuls of the top ice cream ball, and subconsciously clenched the pink ice cream in his hand. colored umbrella, "However, I still keep the broken wand."

"You should have kept it, it was your first wand. The first wand is always the best wand. You don't use it though, do you? You know, some terrible things happen when you just use a broken wand at will. things." Ollivander's reminder was more like a soliloquy, and before Hagrid could answer, he walked away, reached out and pulled out a box on the shelf, "Try this wand, little Malfoy gentlemen."

The name Harry Potter made Draco's eyes flicker, and the little nobleman glanced at the indifferent godfather, reached out and took out the wand in the box and waved it a few times, but only a few sparks burst out from the top of the wand.

"Eleven inches, sycamore wood, unicorn hair, not the most suitable." Ollivander blinked, quickly took the wand from Draco's hand, and pulled out another box from the shelf, " Try this one, also made of unicorn hair, the wizards of the Malfoy family have always favored unicorns. Except for your father, he is an exception, I still remember his wand, elm, dragon heart , thirteen inches, is a powerful wand, not easy to tame."

"Every Ollivander wand has a super strong magical substance, that's the essence of it. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves. Every Ollivander wand has unique because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Of course, if you used a wand that should have belonged to another wizard, it would never work so well."

Draco waved the wand in his hand again, but still did not get Ollivander's approval.The little nobleman turned his face to look at his godfather apologetically. He had heard about Ollivander's bad habits for a long time. I am afraid that the two of them would have to spend a few hours in the wand shop.But Drake obviously underestimated the deterrent power of the mysterious man, or in other words, Ollivander's silver-white eyes were too strange, so that the little noble could not appreciate the nervousness hidden in them.Being under the same roof with You-Know-Who and the Savior is not a good choice for any peace-loving wizard who values ​​life.

"Ten inches, hawthorn, unicorn hair." The fourth wand shot out a platinum-gold light in Draco's hand, and Ollivander announced the result before the magic disappeared, "This is you Wand, little Mr Malfoy. Seven Galleons, and you can take it."

"Wait here for Lucius to come back." Dongfang Bubai took out seven Galleons and threw them on the table, threw one on the bench to clean up, motioned for Draco to sit down, and still stood in the corner without leaving. the meaning of.

"Hmm." Ollivander sighed depressedly, and could only focus on the savior, "Okay, Mr. Potter, come on. Let me see."

"Well, Mr. Potter, try this one. It's made of beech wood and snake nerves. It's nine inches long. It's not bad. It's very flexible. You can try to swing it." The old wizard glanced at Harry's rigid grip on his wand. , the wand didn't respond at all, turned around and pulled out another box from the shelf.

"Try this one, made of ebony and unicorn hair. Eight and a half inches long. Very springy." But before Harry's fingers had closed on the wand, the old wizard changed his mind, "No, it doesn't For you, try this one, maple, phoenix feather. Seven inches long."

This time the wand reacted, and a string of sparks shot out from the tip of the wand towards Dongfang Bubai. The latter turned his body slightly, and the sparks shattered an antique vase behind him.

"No, it's okay, don't worry about that vase. It doesn't matter, I think, you can always find the most ideal, perfect, and most suitable one here-let me think about it" Ollivander said to himself and pulled out A few boxes, stuffed back into the shelf, finally a decision seems to have been made.

"Extraordinary combination, holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long. The magic is good, and the wand is flexible. Two tail feathers from the same phoenix, one made this wand, and the other tail feather made the other wand .You are destined to use this wand, and its brother—it is its brother who left you with that scar." The old wizard took out a black box from the bottom of the cabinet, and subconsciously raised his head to observe the East expression, but the deep hood conceals all clues.Only Draco moved a bit on the bench, twin wands, this is too sensitive a topic, especially this coincidence happened between the mysterious man and the savior.

Harry took the wand hesitantly, and a red light erupted from the tip of the wand, forming the effect of fireworks.This signaled that the wand would fit as required, and Ollivander handed the box to Harry, reaching for a piece of brown wrapping paper.

The half-giant seemed to be frightened, and stepped back a few steps and bumped into a shelf. Several boxes fell down, and he hurriedly stuffed them back.

"Thirteen and a half inches long, yew, the phoenix feather that serves as the center of the wand comes from the same phoenix. It's a wonder how this could happen. Remember, the wand chooses the wizard—" Ollivander continued After throwing the seven Galleons in Harry's hand into the jar, he turned his face to look at the wizard in the corner, and softened his tone, "I think you will achieve a great career, Mr. Potter. Anyway Say, the mystery man I couldn't nominate did great things, terribly—but did great things."

This is simply Chi Guoguo's flattery, Draco snorted coldly.But Harry seemed frightened by such arguments. The poor savior hugged his wand, hurriedly left the wand shop with Hagrid, and the dilapidated shop returned to silence.Draco stood up impatiently, wanting to look at the crowd outside the window, but a sudden loud noise made him stagger, and fell back on the bench again.

Huge explosions came from the street one after another, even the house of the wand shop was shaken, dust and boxes kept falling from the shelves.Dongfang Bubai glanced at the wizards running around outside the window, stretched out his hand to pull on Drake's clothes, and rushed out of the wand shop in a few steps, and then there was a loud crash of shelves collapsing behind him.

"Godfather, what happened?" Draco tiptoed behind Dongfang and looked around for a while, but found no clues other than the fleeing crowd, "Did you see your father?"

"Can you use a Portkey?" Dongfang Bubai's voice was very soft, but Draco couldn't help becoming nervous, and nodded vigorously while holding the wand box.

"Go back to Malfoy Manor now." Dongfang Bubai took off the portkey on his belt and handed it to the little nobleman, and stretched out his hand to rub Draco's hair, "Don't worry, I will return with Lucius soon." Malfoy Manor."

"However, your wand hasn't been repaired yet." Draco stared at the face under the hood with his gray-blue eyes. By now, even the little nobleman who knew nothing about the plan had noticed the difference between his father and the explosion. connection between.He hesitated for a moment, reached for the door key, and opened the box in his arms, "Please use my wand. Although it is not as good as your wand, it should be usable."

"It's just to deal with a few wizards, I don't need a magic wand yet." Dongfang Bubai chuckled, retracted the fingers on Draco's head, and watched the little wizard disappear into the air.The explosions became more and more frequent, and it was easy to tell where they were concentrated. It was near Gringotts. Dongfang Bubai glanced at the back of the half-giant. The eye-catching half-giant was holding Harry Potter and following the flow of people. He ran to the exit of Diagon Alley, and several wizards followed around vaguely.

"The Order of the Phoenix?" Without a doubt, this was another conspiracy arranged by Dumbledore.Flames were ablaze in the direction of Gringotts, and the sounds of the battle became indistinct, and it seemed that they had broken through the encirclement and retreated to the north.Dongfang stretched out his hand and lifted the hood on his head, glanced at the direction of the flames, jumped onto the roof of the magic wand shop with a light tap of his toes, and quickly rushed towards Gringotts.

"At about one o'clock today, Gringotts Bank had its first major robbery in hundreds of years. The case is still under investigation. Some people believe that it was done by some dark wizard group. The goblin of Gringotts just made an official statement to the public Said that the robbery was just a false alarm, Gringotts did not lose anything, and Gringotts will establish a more stringent defense system to protect customers' property. In fact, when the robbery happened, the vault was already empty A spokesman for Gringotts said: "But we won't tell you what's in there, let's wait and see how things develop!"

Drake carefully opened the door and walked in, put the Daily Prophet that the owl had just delivered on the table, and turned his head to look at his father who was sleeping on the sofa.

"Lucius isn't seriously injured, he's just tired." Dongfang Bubai glanced at the news in the newspaper and motioned for Drake to sit down on another chair.

A bright ruby ​​was randomly discarded under the chair, and Draco reached out to pick it up, raising his eyebrows in surprise.Rubies of this weight and quality were worth a fortune, and he had no recollection of having such a gem in the Malfoy family's collection.Of course, the godfather likes red, maybe it was a new gift from father, but why was it thrown on the carpet without even adding a jewelry box?

"Lucius gave you a gift for the beginning of school." Dongfang hooked the corners of his lips, casually threw the newspaper back on the table, and glanced at Lucius who was still sleeping soundly.This is the "Sorcerer's Stone" that Lucius looted from Gringotts so hard. Obviously, Dumbledore not only counted Lucius, but also counted Gringotts by the way.It's just that the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix didn't expect that Lucius could really take away the fake Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts, and out of various considerations, Gringotts didn't want to admit the fact that the vault and the dragon could no longer guarantee the safety of their property , for this reason Dumbledore had to remain silent about this farce.
