Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1493 Snape, Danger

After he invaded Nurmengard and "picked up" Grindelwald's wand, Voldemort did not directly conclude that the "Death Stick" he picked up was fake based on his intuition, but took the wand to see him. A wandmaker who had been so frightened that he hid in the Mediterranean.

It is never a good thing to be visited by Voldemort.

Not long ago, several wand makers who were visited by Voldemort disappeared inexplicably.

 Their fate can be known even if you think about it with your knees.

As one of the few remaining wand makers in Europe, Osido ran away with his family after discovering that something happened to his colleagues around him.

However, one night, when he opened the door and saw Voldemort wearing a black cloak, his mentality suddenly collapsed.

However, the wand maker suppressed his inner fear, invited Voldemort into the house to discuss, and asked him about his purpose.

When Voldemort took out the Death Rod for him to identify, the wand maker suppressed his fear and examined it carefully before giving the identification result: fake?

Fake?

Hearing the words of the wand maker, Voldemort had already expected it, but after hearing it with his own ears, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Just when he was about to pour out his anger on the wand maker in front of him, he heard the trembling voice say again: "I don't know why you think this is the legendary death stick, but I'm sure this is just a steel stick." A wand was made not long ago. A professional wand maker can tell from some subtle traces that the wand was made not long ago, but the person who made it should be a very good wand maker. Today, there are so many excellent wand makers in Europe. There are not many people left.”

Probably in order to save his own life, Osido, who is nearly middle-aged, is trying his best to show his value to Voldemort, lest the other party kill him casually after using it up. He has heard of many similar cases.

"I have studied Grigovitch's style. This wand does not look like one made by him, and the guy disappeared not long ago. As for the death stick, there are some rumors circulating among the wand makers. "

Osido secretly glanced at Voldemort, trying to tell as much useful information as possible.

“Gregovich once claimed to have obtained and deciphered the secret of the Death Stick in order to make his wand more competitive, and claimed that he had successfully copied the performance of the Death Stick to other wands.”

"Gregovich also gave himself the title of Master Wandmaker, but in the circle of wandmakers, everyone knew that it was just a joke, and no one recognized his identity until many years later. Vicky's wand manufacturing level has improved significantly, and he is barely qualified to deserve that title."

"If you really get the legendary death stick one day, you can come to me for identification. I should be able to identify the wand."

 In order to save his life, Osido must make himself look as useful as possible.

 “Oh, can you spot the death stick?”

Voldemort looked at the wand maker in front of him who was full of desire for survival, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“In the circle of wand makers, there has been some news about death sticks.” Osido explained quickly. "I mean, the Death Stick is not the only name for that wand. Sometimes it is also called the Elder Wand and the Wand of Destiny by wizards."

 “Where is this wand?”

Voldemort handed the wand he got from Dumbledore's grave to the wand maker in front of him.

"Elderberry, the tail feather of the Thestral, about 15 inches long." Osido took the wand, inspected it carefully, and murmured: "This wand does look like the legendary death stick." "It's very similar?"

 Voldemort was not satisfied with this evaluation.

“Legend has it that the death stick is made of the tail feathers of elder and thestrals, so it is also called the elder wand. Elder (elder) is the same as “old” in English, so it has the title of ‘Elder Wand’.”

Osido explained to Voldemort tremblingly.

“This wand has been around for a long time. Although it has been carefully maintained, time still leaves its mark on it.”

Osido tried to point out evidence to Voldemort, but after meeting Voldemort's gaze, he quickly backed away.

"It is rumored that Grigovitch once made a copy of the Death Stick. Although no one has seen his copy, I can't be sure whether your wand is a copy of the Death Stick. I don't know if this wand is as legendary as it is. Showed a miracle?”

Voldemort carefully looked at the wand maker in front of him and knew that the other person had not deceived him and did not have the courage.

“So, you can’t tell the difference?”

“No, I think it must be the legendary death stick, because this wand usually falls into..."

The wand maker glanced at Voldemort secretly and did not continue.

"Of course, you may know better than me whether it is true or false." Osido held back his fear and stared into Voldemort's eyes. "According to the legend of the death stick, his former owner cannot be unknown. Where to get it, you know better than I do.”

At this moment, Voldemort was sure that the wand in his hand was real. The meeting with Grindelwald convinced Voldemort that the **** old man once owned the Death Stick. Just as the guy in front of him said, the owner of the Death Stick cannot be an unknown person.

As for why the Death Stick fell into Dumbledore's hands, it was because Dumbledore personally defeated Grindelwald in 1945.

After Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, he probably recognized the Death Rod and took the wand from Grindelwald.

 The Death Stick has indeed shown its extraordinary qualities in Dumbledore's hands.

Having fought against Dumbledore, Voldemort knew very well that it was unusual for the old man to still have more magical power than him after living for a century.

(Grindelwald also showed his power in front of Voldemort, so Voldemort brought the wand to the wand maker for identification)

"How do I become the master of the Death Rod?" Voldemort asked hoarsely.

“In the circle of wandmakers, some people believe that when the wizard chooses the wand, the wand also chooses the wizard.”

“Deathsticks may be more extreme in their choice of owners.”

"Because it is rumored that after some wands are taken away, they will change their allegiance and work for the wizard who won it." The wand maker hesitated for a moment and said: "Although there is no accurate evidence to prove this, and it has been said by many The wand makers dismissed it as nonsense, but the legend of the death stick has always been accompanied by bloodshed."

According to the wand maker, Snape, who killed Dumbledore, was the real owner of the Death Stick, so he couldn't display the wand's true power for its legitimate owner like in the legend?
