Chapter 363 Magic wand test, don’t want to be in the newspaper

"Twelve inches, the nerve of yew and dragon." Ollivander said with emotion, then waved his wand, and a flame was released from it, turning into a bright firework in mid-air.

"Hmm...it seemed like it fell from a great height."

"There was that one time, but that time it was really an accident." Aaron said awkwardly. During his first trip to another world last year, he was forced to fall into a free fall. He had no control over this force majeure. .

"Really?" Ollivander frowned slightly, looking at Aaron with his silver pupils, "Maybe I shouldn't ask, but your wand seems to have experienced a lot of wind and rain."

"Uh... that was also an accident. I can't tell you this."

Ollivander smiled playfully and didn't ask any further questions. He just returned the wand to him, "There's nothing wrong with the wand. Although it's a bit worn, it's in good condition.

Where's the other wand? I remember I gave you a wand made of grapevine wood and unicorn feathers? "

"Ah this..." Aaron felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He left the wand with the missing body. He couldn't be allowed to go back to the Shenming Palace to get it now!

"Ahem!" Adrian coughed, "This wand is enough. He can only bring one wand during the competition."

"Okay!" Ollivander nodded slightly, then looked at Fleur, "Miss Delacour, it's your turn."

Fleur was stunned for a moment, walked to the stage lightly, and handed over her wand.

"Nine and a half inches, made of maple, inside... Oh my God!"

"There is a Veela hair that belongs to my grandma," Fleur explained.

“Yes, Veela hair.

Although I have never used Veela hair myself, it is too sensitive and willful.

But each person has a personal preference, and it will obviously suit you. "

Ollivander stroked the wand with his thumb, and after confirming that there was no damage, he muttered: "The orchid is in full bloom."

A flower bloomed on the tip of the wand, and he handed the wand back with satisfaction, "Very good, in good condition."

Next up is Cedric Diggory, who bought his wand at Ollivanders.

Made of ash wood with a unicorn tail hair core, it is twelve and a quarter inches long.

"It's in excellent condition. It must be taken care of regularly." Ollivander was not shy about his praise, and he admired this wizard who treated his wand well.

"Just wiped it last night," Cedric grinned.

Ollivander used his wand to create a string of silver-white smoke rings. After briefly testing the performance, he returned the wand to Cedric.

"Mr. Krum, it's your turn."

Viktor still had a sullen face, as if he was paralyzed, and placed his wand listlessly in front of Ollivander.

"Horbeam, dragon's cord, ten and a quarter inches.

This is Gregovich's product. Although his style is different from mine, but... I can see that you use it very smoothly and it matches you very well. "

Krum nodded, not denying it.

"Flying birds."

A flock of birds flew out from the tip of the wand and flew outside from the window.

"Very well." Ollivander returned the wand to Krum, "There is one last person, Mr. Potter."

Harry stood up, passed Krum, and nervously handed over his wand.

Ollivander spent more time examining this wand than the previous four people combined, because it was special. The phoenix feathers in the core of the wand came from the same phoenix as Voldemort's wand, so they were from the same source.

He shot a stream of wine from his wand, confirmed that it was functioning properly and returned it to Harry, declaring it to be in excellent condition.

"Okay, now you can go back to class." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem in going to eat directly. get out of class will be over soon anyway."

"Dumbledore, don't forget to take pictures," Skeeter reminded.

"Yes, a photo of the referee and the warriors." Bagman said excitedly, "What do you think, Rita?"

"I don't want to be in the newspaper." Adrian said disdainfully, and then pulled Ollivander away.

"This referee... has a really unique personality." Rita Skeeter looked at Adrian's leaving figure, a glint flashed in her eyes, "I personally think that given Miss Klein's age and amazing The looks are sure to set the newspapers on fire."

"It's best to put away your unrealistic ideas." Aaron said half-jokingly, "The Magic Council and the International Magical Federation have to give Klein some face.

If any news appears in the Daily Prophet that should not appear, then the newspaper may not be far from bankruptcy. "

"Don't scare people, Mr. Gaius."

Aaron shrugged, "If you don't believe it, you can try it."

Hearing this, Rita Skeeter pursed her lips unwillingly.

She had insulted many people in the newspaper, including Dumbledore and Fudge.

Because she knew that the character, ability and status of these people would not take her as a little reporter seriously. At most, they would just curse in secret and complain.

But there are some people she doesn't dare to write about. If what Aaron said is true, then Adrian will make her lose her job in a minute. She can't afford to offend such people.

"The lack of a referee doesn't mean that you can't take pictures." Rita Skeeter said unnaturally, and then asked the photographer to take his place.

Because the room was relatively small and there was a giant among the referees, it took the photographer more than 20 minutes to fit the five warriors and five referees into the lens.

The moment the photographer pressed the shutter, Aaron decisively moved his body back.

He stood next to Maxim, using her more than three-meter-tall body and part of the shadow to cover most of his body, only revealing a small half of his face, which made it possible for him not to look too much in the photo. conspicuous.

But Krum seemed to have made the same decision, which surprised him.

Did you get it wrong? You are a big star and you actually hide it better than me.

The most conspicuous one is Harry Potter. The C position was originally assigned to Fleur by the photographer, but Rita Skeeter insisted on moving him to the most prominent position.

After taking the group photo, Rita Skeeter insisted on taking individual photos of the warriors.

After several referees left, she looked at the five warriors with a smile on her face, "What a little-known news! Who will take the first photo?"

"Well, I have something else to do..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gaius, the wizarding world needs to know who the five warriors are."

"It's enough to leave my name. If it doesn't work, I can only refuse the magic world once." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, then slammed the door and left.

Rita Skeeter looked at the remaining four people helplessly, "It seems that this warrior is shy, but it doesn't matter. Many people were shy before being interviewed by me."

"Well..." Harry raised his hand weakly, "Adrian Klein is his cousin."

Rita Skeeter: …

All right! Another one who can't afford to offend.

...

After dinner, Aaron returned to the dormitory without stopping.

"System, buy Youjing."

"Purchase successful."

One hundred magic points were cleared, and an irregular crystal flashing with faint golden light was held in Aaron's hand.

"This is much more valuable than mithril." Aaron said with a bit of toothache, and then took Abe into the Shenming Palace.

The missing body couldn't help but smacked its lips when looking at You Jing, who was only the size of an egg, "This is too little! I thought it would be as big as a basketball!"

“This only proves that it is more valuable.

With the same volume, its value is more than ten times that of mithril. "

"After all, it is a natural medium for transmitting magic power!" The missing body carefully took the Youjing and asked the two shadow ninjas to cut off a tenth of it more carefully.

"With the help of thunderbird tail feathers, only three bullets can be made."

"I understand, it will be gone after you use it. I will save some." Aaron waved his hand and said, as if he thought of something, "The feathers of magical animals I acquired from Hagrid..."

"A batch has been made, although the power is relatively weak." The missing body said proudly, and then took a box from the storage shelf. When opened, there were thumb-sized spherical projectiles in various colors.

"That's it?"

"Twenty rounds is too few? You will never use so many when it comes to competition."

"That's what I say, but isn't the efficiency a little low?"

"Enchanting is also laborious work!" The Missing Body rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was already busy enough. Making a few rounds of bullets a day was the limit. Any more would make him a grinding donkey.

Aaron couldn't continue to blame himself, and after instructing the missing body to use the Youjing carefully, he left the Shenming Palace.

...

A few days later, Rita Skeeter published an article in the Daily Prophet in which Harry Potter's photo took up a lot of space.

When Aaron read this newspaper in the library, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

Rita Skeeter wrote a lot of unrealistic and disgusting things in the newspaper, portraying Harry as a child with a fragile heart who seeks comfort in various ways...

"What did you write?" Hermione suddenly walked over, Harry following her.

"Nothing." Aaron quickly stuffed the newspaper into Abe's pocket.

"I saw Harry's photo." Hermione raised an eyebrow, "The front page headline of the Daily Prophet."

"What?" Harry was shocked and looked at Aaron immediately, "Give me the newspaper."

"My personal advice is, it's better to die later than to die early."

"Give me."

Aaron sighed and took out the newspaper.

He looked at the two of them seriously, "Be mentally prepared. Also, this is a library, so don't make any noise."

"Loud noise." Hermione said with a sarcastic smile, "You may not have noticed that since Krum arrived, everywhere he goes becomes messy, and the library is the same."

“That’s what celebrity power is.”

Harry took the newspaper, his green eyes moving left and right, scanning it quickly.

Half a minute later, he slammed the table angrily and cursed: "Nonsense, nonsense, and fabrication. There is no moral bottom line at all."

"Ahem!" At this moment, Mrs. Pince coughed and cast a sharp look. Harry immediately calmed down and sat down opposite Aaron in a depressed and angry manner.
