Chapter 144 Sell you to Knockturn Alley

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but the key to the problem is lack of money. The twins made some money by selling maps at the beginning of the school year, but their research also cost a lot of money, and they haven't seen any money back yet. So they are not rich now and cannot afford so much money.

The twins who wanted to buy a wand for their younger brother but had no money naturally thought of the "little rich woman" Ada, and they could only talk to Ada about this.

"The two of us can scrape together six galleons, but it's not enough to buy a wand from Ollivander." Fred held four galleons in his hand, and George held a pile of things. Ko and Nat.

"So you just want to find me to pool the money to buy a wand, right?" Ada asked, looking at the two of them.

"No need to chip in, just lend it to us." George said, "It's not easy for you to make money."

The twins knew that Ada had a hard time earning every Knut. Although Snape paid Ada a reward, everyone knew that Snape had a vicious tongue. The two of them didn't think that Snape would treat Ada as warmly as spring, and the reward must be very frustrating.

During the summer vacation, Ada still did not choose to take a rest. Instead, she went to the Leaky Cauldron to work every day and studied until late at night. She repeated this tiring life every day, and Fred and George felt distressed when they saw her.

"If you didn't have enough money, didn't you plan to tell me that you wanted to buy Ron a wand?" Ada put her left arm around Fred and her right arm around George, and asked the two brothers.

The twins were taller than Ada, but both stooped a little to accommodate her. In this way, Ada can hold their shoulders without standing on tiptoes.

Fred and George had no intention of telling Ada about this at first. They planned to tell Ada after they bought it. It's just that the two of them rummaged through all their pockets but couldn't get enough. Now their pockets are cleaner than their faces.

"Now you two go and bring Ron out, and then we go to Ollivanders to pick out a wand for Ron." Ada said, "As for you two, just put away your money first. Boys of this age have pockets. You can’t live without money.”

"But……"

"No but, just do as you are told. I am your sister who is a few months older than you. Do you want me to write to Charlie?" Ada threatened.

Ada is no longer the girl she used to be, who was always careful about every Nat. It doesn't matter if she is generous. Besides, Ron is not an outsider, and she really wants to help Mrs. Weasley.

The twins walked into the store, said a few words to Mrs. Weasley, and then walked out with a confused Ron. Ron was still asking his brother: "Where are we going? Eat?" Why didn’t you ask Ginny to come with you for ice cream?”

Last year, Ada treated everyone to ice cream at Florin's Cold Drinks Shop, so Ron thought the twins took him out to go to Florin's Cold Drinks Shop.

"Ron, you also know that our family is very poor, and all your things have to be used, and you are really good at eating..." Fred said earnestly, and put his hands on Ron's. On the shoulders, it looks a lot like that.

"Mom and dad can no longer afford to support you. We will take you to Knockturn Alley later and sell you to the old witch there, so that you will not starve in the future." George said with his face covered, as if he had the palm of his hand. Her eyes were filled with tears of reluctance.

Although Ron didn't believe the twins' lies, he was still a little scared, and his freckled face turned a little white. He asked Ada: "Ada, that's not the case, right?"

Ada didn't want to laugh at first, but when Ron asked, Ada really couldn't hold it in anymore. She smiled and said: "Of course not, although you eat...well...it is indeed a bit too much, but your How could mother do such a thing... George, help me, I’m laughing so hard that my stomach hurts..."

Just like that, the silly boy Ron left the bookstore with his two unscrupulous brothers. Ada led the way, with Fred and George sandwiching Ron on the left and right. It really looked like they were taking him to Knockturn Alley to complete the deal.

The four of them passed through the crowd and saw Mr. Weasley and Percy who had just come out of the Eela Owl Shop. Just as Ron was about to open his mouth to call his father, Fred and George covered his mouth. If Ron was given another black hood, it would be more like that.

Two years later, Ada came to the historic Ollivander's Wand Shop again, and Ron finally understood what these three people wanted to do, and his face became as red as his hair.

Opening the door, Ada took the lead and walked in. There were still customers in the store, so Ada and the others sat on the bench and waited for a while. Blushing Ron whispered to Ada: "Thank you."

The little boy in the shop was trying out the wand and he was making a mess in the shop, making Ron's thanks sound like mosquitoes compared to the noise the little boy was making.

Ada stroked Ron's head and said, "Thanks Fred and George, they were the ones who suggested it." Sure enough, stroking other people's hair is a very pleasant thing.

After hearing this, Ron looked at his two brothers in surprise, he was a little in disbelief. The twins were also looking at him, but the eyes of Fred and George seemed to say: Look at whatever you want, and if you look at it again, you will be sold to Knockturn Alley!

The little boy who kept making noise finally left with his parents, and Ada led Ron to the counter.

"Ah, Miss Drizzt, the last time I saw you seems like it happened yesterday." Ollivander stretched out his hand towards Ada, "How is your wand? Is it easy to use? "

Ada took out her wand and put her hands on Ollivander's. She said, "It's very easy to use. It's like my arm. Thank you for your superb skills."

"Yew wood, phoenix tail feathers, ten and three-quarter inches. This wand can be said to be my favorite work." Ollivander inspected the wand. Ada maintained the wand very well, without scratches. There were no scratches, not even finger prints could be seen on it.

"The orchids are blooming!" Ollivander whispered, and a bouquet of orchids bloomed on the head of the wand. "You take good care of it, and it likes you very much. It is resisting my spell."

The wand is an extension of the arm, a way to cast magic, and a support for the wizard to live and work. Such an important partner, of course Ada will do her best to take care of it.

Once they lose their wands, many wizards are only slightly stronger than Muggles. It was because the wand was confiscated that Gryffindor's ghost Sir Porpington was chopped 45 times on the head with a blunt axe. Headless Nick.

Taking the wand handed back by Ollivander with both hands, Ada pushed Ron forward. She said: "My brother, Ron Weasley, is going to go to Hogwarts. He needs a wand." Magic wand, I’ll leave this to you!”

Ollivander looked at Ron with his big, light-colored eyes, and then said: "Of course, Miss Drizzt, it is my honor to provide wands for new students. So, Mr. Weasley, which one do you like to use?" Where’s the hand?”

"Right hand," Ron said cautiously.

Then there is a process that Ada and the twins are familiar with, the tape measure that flies automatically for measurement, and Ollivander's sales pitch, the wand chooses the wizard.

By the way, couldn't Ollivander change his sales pitch? He would say it again every time he saw a customer buying a wand. Wouldn't Ollivander really get bored with such sameness?

Ron began to try wands one by one, apple wood, beech wood, alder wood. He tried many wands and caused no less damage than the boy just now. It wasn't until he tried a wand made of willow that Ollivander stopped the red-haired imp from his destructive behavior.

"Wand willow wood, core is unicorn tail hair, fourteen inches long." Ollivander said, "Each wand is unique. It has chosen you, Mr. Weasley."

The texture of this wand is very beautiful. It is long and thin, which suits Ron's figure very well. Ron is taller than his peers.

"The ideal owner of a willow wand often has insecurities..."

Ollivander started his tirade again. Ada and the twins sat on the bench without anyone saying a word. Only Ron listened very seriously. Ollivander's words sound a bit brainwashing. After listening to his words, you will feel that your whole body is full of power, and you feel that you are the son of destiny, the person destined to be extraordinary.

"...It will choose those wizards with great potential, those wizards with a long road ahead, who will go faster with a willow wand. Chenghui, ten gold galleons."

Ollivander finally finished his chicken soup, and Ron returned to the real world after finishing the bowl of chicken soup. Ron stood in front of the counter, blushing and feeling a little embarrassed. He was afraid that this was a joke played on him by Fred and George.

Fortunately, this was no joke. The twins really wanted to buy Ron a wand. Of course, Ada had to pay for it. Ada took out her small leather bag, took out ten galleons, and lined them up on the counter one by one.
