The first White Lord of Hogwarts
Chapter 9
“Looks like two more energetic guests.”
Ollivander took out the measuring tape:”Who will go first?”
“You go first, Hermione.
Ivan asked Ollivander to measure Hermione first. The old man first asked Hermione about her dominant hand, and then began to measure the little witch. He measured from shoulder to fingertips, from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally the circumference of the head.
“Each Ollivander wand has a super powerful magical substance, which is its essence.
Mr. Ollivander said as he measured:”We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves.”
“Every Ollivander’s wand is unique, as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike.”
“Of course, if you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, it will never have such a good effect.”
“”I’m sorry, sir.”
Hermione asked,”I don’t quite understand why you need to measure your body data to buy a wand.”
“After all, our bodies will continue to grow. Will wands also need to be changed like clothes?”
The little witch had no ill intentions, she was just curious.
In fact, if Hermione was alone, she would never ask such a question in order to leave a good impression in front of Professor McGonagall.
However, because of Ivan’s appearance, Hermione could not suppress her curiosity.
“Ah, good question.”
Mr. Ollivander was not angry at all. Instead, he said with excitement as if he had met a supporting actor:”Remember what I said just now, it is the wand that chooses the wizard!”
“The wand is not only a tool in the hands of wizards, but also a companion that can accompany them throughout their lives. The wizard’s body will change, and our wand will also grow.”
“Mr. Ollivander?”
Hermione looked confused:”You’re saying it’s like the wand has a life of its own?”
“Of course the wand has life!”
The old man laughed, but did not explain further. Instead, he picked out a wand from the countless boxes and handed it to Hermione:”Try this one, ten and a quarter inches, willow, dragon heartstring.”
Hermione took the wand, but as soon as she touched it, the old man shouted loudly:”No! Not this one!”
In Hermione’s panicked eyes, Ollivander snatched it back, as if he had encountered something dirty.
“???”
The little witch looked confused. She thought Ollivander might have some problem: ‘Did I touch the wand just now?’
‘What’s going on?
Hermione looked at Ivan, her eyes full of confusion. Ivan smiled and said,”I think the wand has the ability to identify the magic power of wizards. Didn’t Mr. Ollivander just say that the wand has life?”
“Yes.”
Ollivander looked back at Ivan and said with a smile:”Every wand is unique, just like there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.”
“Many wizards view wands as tools, but they are actually their best friends.”
“Wands change as wizards grow up; they are part of a wizard’s life.”
Wands are given to young wizards when they enter school, and are bound to their magical qualities and grow with them.
When a wizard’s life comes to an end, the wand will die soon after.
Otherwise, with Ollivander’s 2,300-year history of making wands, there must be thousands or even tens of thousands of wands left in the world, if not tens of thousands.
But the problem is that there are not so many wands in the wizarding world, and the reason is that wands are closely related to the lives of wizards.
“Hmm, this should be it.
Ollivander searched for a long time and finally found the new wand at the back.
“Come try this one, ten and three-quarter inches, vine wood, dragon heartstring.”
Hermione took the wand, and the moment the little witch grabbed it, an inexplicable sense of intimacy arose.
“Wonderful.”
Ollivander laughed at this and said,”Grapevine wands are very rare. They usually choose those who have noble pursuits, foresight, and will do things that shock their friends who think they know them.”
“I feel like it’s an extension of my arm.”
Hermione waved her wand gently, leaving dots of fluorescent light in the air. This lightness of her arm was like untying the heavy shackles that bound her body.
“”Haha.”
Ollivander looked at Hermione’s loving expression and was happy that his work could meet the right owner:”Sincerely, 7 gold Galleons.”
The first wand of a young wizard will receive a certain subsidy, so only 7 Galleons are needed.
Hermione paid the money and bought a set of wand care tools.
“Next, Mr. Ambrosius, right?”
Ollivander repeated Ivan’s last name several times, and seemed to think of something:”Your last name reminds me of a legendary family.”
“The legendary family?”
After hearing this, not only Ivan and Hermione, but even Professor McGonagall, who had been standing silently beside them, could not help but become interested:”Garrick, which family are you talking about?”
The surname Ollivander is very ancient, and is listed as one of the 28 Sacred Families by the British magic world.
Professor McGonagall was very curious about Ivan’s life experience, and she did not expect to get a clue from Ollivander.
“Minerva, you should know that, right?”
“After all, we always say that sentence.” Ollivander laughed and then joked:”Merlin’s beard”
“Merlin’s?”
“Oh, Merlin’s beard!!”
Suddenly, Professor McGonagall realized and looked at Ivan in shock:”Merlin, Merlin Ambrosius!”
In this world, Merlin is a wizard with powerful magic. He is a natural prophet and has the ability to transform into anyone.
“Uh…”
Ollivander noticed McGonagall’s gaze, and then looked at Ivan who was also a little surprised. The old man’s face changed slightly, and he asked with a little disbelief:”I’m sorry, Minerva, I want to ask, this child, it should be just a coincidence, right?”
“……”
Professor McGonagall wanted to say it was a coincidence, but thinking of Ivan’s bug-like ability to predict the future, she said,”I’m sorry, Garrick. I think this child is probably the descendant of the only one left today.””
“Merlin’s beard!”
Olivander’s eyes widened, he stared at Ivan for a long time:”The great Eternal Family, I didn’t expect that there would be someone with such noble blood in this era.”
Ambrosius means ‘eternal’ and ‘immortal’, so in the wizarding world, people who inherited Merlin’s bloodline are usually called ‘immortal descendants’.
As for the surname Ambrosius, it has left a legend of the Eternal Family in the wizarding world.
“But I heard that the Eternal Family’s bloodline was cut off a thousand years ago.”
“No, it’s not extinct.”
Olivander said,”It’s scattered.”
There is no Ambrosius family in the wizarding world today, because the family disappeared thousands of years ago.
As for the reason, it was not a disaster, but simply because the male heirs were extinct.
