[HP] The Elegance of the Night

When Igil arrived at Ollivander's Wand Shop, Regulus had just arrived, and because he had plenty of time, he not only bought books, but also arranged other messy things in the two nearby shops.

In fact, since the start of school was approaching, the wise boss had already packed the things into sets and divided them into high, high, and low grades, and Regulus directly asked for the best.

As for pets, Igil thinks it is troublesome to keep them, but I heard from my father that there is an owl shed on the top floor of the west tower of the school, which provides owls for students to send letters. Considering that he brought an owl there to raise it, Igil simply thought of bringing an owl. All cancelled.

All Igil lacked now was a wand.

Ollivander's wand shop is small and dilapidated, with peeling gold letters on the door and a single wand on a faded purple upholstery in the window, but it has been around since 382 BC Yes, it has a history.

"Although it doesn't look very good, it's a monopoly business." Regulus raised his eyebrows and used a vocabulary he learned from Muggles, "Go in."

"En." Igil responded, and followed his father into the room.As they entered, a bell jingled from somewhere at the back of the shop, and an old man with silvery eyes stood before them.

"good afternoon."

"Hello, this is my son Igil Black, and he is going to buy a wand." Regulus said, pushing Igil to the front.

"Oh, Black!" The old man screamed in disbelief, his already big eyes widened, staring at Regulus who was wrapped in a cloak. "Oh, it's you! You still..."

"We don't have free time to talk about Ollivander." Regulus interrupted him and said coldly, "I remember very clearly what kind of wand I bought from you, and I also know that it is the wand that chooses his wizard , Now help my child choose a wand, your wand shop has been in business for so many years, it is not easy, there is no need to say more."

"Oh, yes...Mr. Black, let me see." Ollivander made a soft voice. He glanced at Igil with sharp eyes, and took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket . "Which arm do you use your wand?"

"Right hand." Igil raised his right arm as he spoke, and the measuring tape ran from his shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally measured his head circumference.

"Try this one." Ollivander dug out one from the long, narrow boxes of thousands of wands stacked almost to the ceiling at the back, "It's made of cherry wood and unicorn hair, ten It's two inches long and has good elasticity. Try waving it around.

At this time, the tape measure had been spun N circles around Igil's waist and hips, and he grabbed it and returned it to Ollivander with a black face.

"They're just too excited..." The old man put away the tape measure, Igil swung his wand, and a bolt of lightning struck the ground not far from Ollivander.

"No, no... try this one." Mr. Ollivander immediately snatched the wand from his hand and replaced it with another. "Holly and dragon scales. Nine and a half inches. Very flexible."

Igil took the wand and waved it carefully, but nothing happened.

"How about we try this one again." The wand was taken away by Ollivander again.Then came hail, hurricanes, fires, torrential rain...

"Ollivander, we don't have that much time." Regulus said, "I saw that many students are shopping for necessities today."

"Well, ok ok... What a picky customer, isn't it a good thing, wait, let me think about it, if I have it, will it not... Try this one, it's amazing Combination, ash and unicorn heart, thirteen inches long, and not too pliable."

Igil took the wand and waved it lightly, and suddenly a breath of the ocean surrounded his whole body, and the sound of waves lapping on the shore came from his ears, which was the melody of nature, and a holy light shone in front of him, gradually forming a A golden balance...

"Oh, that's great, it's so wonderful...the balance representing the law of destiny, the heart that the unicorn voluntarily gave and the number of the devil, what a delicate balance...you must be able to do a great job, the wand chooses the owner , Mr. Black."

Ollivander excitedly put the wand into the box and carefully wrapped it up. Igil paid ten Galleons for it.

After coming out of Ollivander's wand shop, Igil felt that Regulus was a little absent-minded along the way.

"Igil, the balance is really a very precise thing, which side do you think it will fall to?" Regulus asked in a low voice, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself.

Igil curled his lips disapprovingly and replied, "It's fine to put heavier things on where you want a balance to be."

"What if it can't be put in?"

"Either throw away the items that take up space but not weight and replace them with others, or reduce the weight on the other side, or just take one side and put it on the other side." It's very simple.

What a... terrible answer... Regulus petrified.

"Igil, I'm sorry..." Even under my care 24 hours a day, you are still taught badly by that guy who comes to mess with one or two meals a day.

"..." Igil was confused.

The adult's world is really complicated, and Dad doesn't know where his mind has gone...
