Chapter 5 Magic Wand
"Let's go, let's go to Gringotts to exchange some money, I think you can't wait." Professor McGonagall knew that Anduin had a lot of money.
"Gringotts is the only wizarding bank in the UK, run by a group of goblins, and it is known as the second safest place in the world after Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall introduced Anduin as he walked.
Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, Anduin came to the fork of the street. One side of the street sign said Knockturn Alley, and the other side was the main road of Diagon Alley. A white building stood at the interface between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. , at the door stood a goblin guard in a scarlet-gold uniform.
After entering, they passed through the first shiny bronze door. The goblin guards on both sides bowed and saluted as they passed by. After passing through the second silver door, there was a spacious marble hall with about a dozen goblins sitting. Behind the long counter, jotting down the large ledger.Some use a balance to weigh coins, and some use an eyepiece to detect gems.
It seems that the turmoil in the outside world has not had much impact on the lives of these goblins.
Under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, Anduin came to a counter, showed the Hogwarts admission notice, and received 12 gold Galleons for the poor student bursary. Although Anduin had money to exchange, he had already applied for it anyway. Don't give it up for nothing, and then exchanged 100 gold Galleons with British pounds, which is already a huge sum of money for an 11-year-old boy.
Anduin walked out of Gringotts with a sheepskin bag full of gold Galleons, stretched out his hand and took a closer look, "It looks pure gold, but it doesn't feel the same as ordinary gold."
"It was all made of gold by fairies, using a unique fairy craft, and it is said that it also applied a unique fairy magic, in order to prevent outsiders from directly using gold to forge."
"I think you can't wait to have a wand of your own. You can't walk without a wand in the magic world." Professor McGonagall looked at Anduin with a huge sum of money, and laughed.
While talking, Professor McGonagall led Anduin to Ollivander's wand shop, a wand shop with a long history. Anduin followed Professor McGonagall into the shop.
The store looked like a cramped, cramped, shabby little shop, with a wand on display on a faded purple cushion in front of the window, and thousands of long, narrow boxes crammed into the ceiling-to-ceiling cabinets. , A thin old man behind the shop counter was silently wiping a magic wand.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ollivander, let's buy a wand."
"Ah, it's Minerva, nine and one-half inches, cold wood, I haven't seen you for a few days, time is so fast, it's time for freshmen again!" Ollivander looked down at Professor McGonagall , and turned to look at Anduin beside him. "It's been a hard time these days, did you hear that yesterday..."
"Yesterday's riots will not continue, you have to have confidence in the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore!" Professor McGonagall glanced at Anduin and interrupted Ollivander, fearing that the spread of negative information would hit the little wizard Confidence in the wizarding world.
"Yeah, Dumbledore, if it weren't for him still in charge of the overall situation, I guess I would have closed the door long ago, let's not talk about this, let me see what kind of wand this young gentleman is suitable for." Ollie Vander did not continue the previous topic, and turned to look at Anduin.
"Hello, sir, my name is Anduin Wilson."
"Hello Mr. Wilson, polite young people like you are rare these days." Mr. Ollivander smiled and pulled out a long silver-marked tape measure from his jacket pocket.
"Um... which hand do you use?"
"I'm used to using my right hand."
Ollivander began to measure Anduin, first from shoulders to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow. "It's not easy to be so strong at such a young age!" Ollivander felt Anduin's hard arm. Muscle, could not help but express admiration.
Anduin couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. Is there something wrong with this old man? Just use a ruler to measure it, touch it on people, and buy a wand and be wiped?
Ollivander moved quickly, and while Anduin was still thinking about it, he had already pulled a wand from the shelf and handed it over.
"Try this one, ash, phoenix feather, eleven and a half inches, tenacious and brave."
Anduin took it and waved it lightly, and the tip of the wand suddenly burst into flames.
"Okay, it doesn't seem to suit you." Ollivander hurriedly took his wand away and took out a new one.
"Look at this one, elm, made from the heartstrings of a fire dragon, nine and three-quarters inches, a symbol of wisdom and grace."
As soon as Anduin took it, Ollivander took it away, "It doesn't seem to be this one either."
"Try this again, red oak, male unicorn hair, ten and one-half inches, agile."
Anduin took it with a flick, and the vase on the counter burst open.
"Well, it looks like you're sharp enough, that's a little too sensitive." Ollivander retracted his wand.
"Don't worry, you will definitely find a wand that suits you here." Anduin tried several more, but Ollivander said it was not suitable.
"Come and try this, Thunderstruck, from a mighty ebony tree, Ptarmigan feathers, twelve and a quarter inches, firm and unshakable determination, very tenacious, which is the same as ever Made from the materials Newt gave me, and it's of great value.
Machining this wand was a lot of work in the first place, but with the occasional arc, it's not easy to get its approval, and picky guests should try the picky wand. ' Ollivander handed over a wand like a black jade.
As soon as Anduin saw this jade-like wand, he was attracted by its depth. As soon as he took it, he felt that the wand in his hand was connected with his own blood, and became an extension of his body.
Anduin waved his wand lightly, and the tip of the wand flashed a slight electric light, flickering slightly.
"That's it. I'm really happy that every wand can find a suitable owner. It can be seen that it likes you very much." Ollivander smiled happily. He is a pure craftsman. He was also very happy that his works found a home.
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander, I like it very much too." Anduin played with the wand he just got with joy.
"Ebony is also ebony, which is very suitable for combat magic and transfiguration. I believe it will shine in your hands. In addition, the wizard's first wand is priced at 7 gold Galleons, and the rest will be carried out by Hogwarts. Don't lose or damage the subsidy!" Ollivander reminded
"Don't worry, Mr. Ollivander." Anduin happily paid the money, thanked Mr. Ollivander again, and walked out of the Ollivander wand shop with Professor McGonagall.
