Chapter 544 Discussion about the magic wand

This day was a rare good day. After Laura's continuous persuasion, Ada finally walked out of the office meeting and appeared on the streets of Diagon Alley in a disguise.

The reason why she had to disguise herself was to save some face for the Ministry of Magic. Even though the Ministry of Magic was about to be beaten to a pulp by Voldemort, Ada should not be slapped in the face again.

The Leaky Cauldron is no longer as bustling as it used to be. Tom, the owner of the bar, is huddled inside the counter and sighing. The waiters are all listless, and some are even taking a nap in the corner.

There were only two or three scattered customers in the bar, and even fewer of the few customers were willing to stay for a drink. They come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.

Diagon Alley is no longer as bustling as it used to be. Some shops are not open during the day. Even if some shops are open, there are no customers in the shop. Even the Quidditch boutique, which is usually crowded with onlookers, is deserted.

The whole Diagon Alley was in a state of depression.

Voldemort's influence is real, and his reign of terror is ingrained in every wizard's heart. Even though Voldemort's comeback has been hit hard and he has suffered successive defeats, it still has not affected people's fear of him.

Because of the fear of darkness and death, people lost their willingness to go out and their desire to buy. This caused a rapid decline in business in Diagon Alley and the streets became deserted.

It is precisely because of the fear of darkness and death that many unscrupulous traders breed.

These unscrupulous people resell some fake and shoddy defense products, taking advantage of people's fear and passing them off as good ones, and make a fortune.

Since the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry of Magic has not caught many Death Eaters (those that have been caught have been rescued by Voldemort), but these unscrupulous traders have caught a lot.

Ada also discovered a fact that made her laugh and cry.

I don’t know whether wizards in the British magical world are all useless and idiots, or some people protect them too well. Many adult wizards can’t even cast a decent defensive spell, including some employees of the Ministry of Magic.

Although the different departments of the Ministry of Magic have different requirements for employees, none of the people who can work in the Ministry are bad. They can't even cast defensive spells. Such a cruel and ridiculous fact is that Ada really has no chance. think.

Ada really wants to ask: As a wizard, is the wand in your hand a fire stick? Doesn't it feel hot to use this thing to make a fire?

It is for this reason that Ada agreed to Laura's persuasion and went out for a walk. If she had continued to stay at the Ministry of Magic and watched those little fools coming and going, Ada might have been so angry that she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage before she even started fighting Voldemort.

The sky was clear and Ada was walking in the deserted Diagon Alley, as if she had paid to book the place today. In front of Florin Fusco's cold drink shop, the colorful parasols are still open, but there are fewer people enjoying the cold drinks.

Ada decided to go to the shop and have a large serving of raspberry-flavored ice cream before returning to the Ministry of Magic.

After passing several closed shops, Ada came to Ollivander's Wand Shop, which was founded in 382 BC. She wanted to know something, and she believed that Mr. Ollivander would be able to answer her questions.

Ollivander's Wand Shop is a crowded, cramped, shabby little shop. The store was still the same, with cabinets reaching to the ceiling filled with thousands of wands in long, narrow boxes.

Mr. Ollivander, the master staff maker, also did the same thing. After hearing the bell at the door, he slid out of the shelf on the ladder.

Ada took off her hat and disguise, revealing her beautiful face. Her voice was sweeter than a silver bell, and she said: "Long time no see, Mr. Ollivander."

Standing on the shelf, Ollivander's silver eyes shrank. He tremblingly came down from the ladder and said, "Long time no see, Miss Drizzt."

Ollivander continued, minding his own business: "The yew wand can bring great power to people. Have you lost yourself in the pursuit of power?"

"No, my steps are as firm as ever, and I have not lost myself due to the temptation of power." Ada said, "I have kept Mr. Ollivander's teachings in mind and never be blinded by power."

Ollivander did not continue to speak, but stared at Ada's right hand, not knowing what it meant.

After a while, Ollivander said in a light voice: "I don't intend to comment on Miss Drizzt's career. What I want to say is that it is terrible, but it is also great."

Unlike Voldemort's reign of terror, Ada's path is somewhat similar to Grindelwald's, but somewhat different.

Ada doesn't have any extreme theories about wizard supremacy, nor does she have any intention of going to war with Muggle society or dominating Muggle society. She just wants to make the magical world simpler and fairer.

But whether it is Voldemort, Grindelwald, or Ada herself, anyone who takes a similar path will experience a bloody storm. Only after undergoing the baptism of blood can the old and decayed magic world be rejuvenated with new vitality.

"I don't agree with your idea, Mr. Ollivander," Ada said. "If I succeed, Esmeralda Twisted Fate will be the greatest witch and will be remembered throughout the ages. If I fail, I am just a sinner in the magical world and will be infamy for eternity."

This is the same as Grindelwald. If Grindelwald defeated Dumbledore in 1945, his career might be unstoppable and his ideas would sweep the world.

If so, Gellert Grindelwald would be synonymous with greatness, rather than an old man dying of a stroke in Nurmengard Castle.

Ada is not particularly aware of the past between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but she has her own thoughts on the duel between the two.

She believed that Grindelwald, who owned the Elder Wand, did not expect that he would not be able to do it. For his own career, ideals, and for those followers who risked their lives, Grindelwald should have done it.

Contrary to Grindelwald, Dumbledore, who did not have the Elder Wand, did not expect that he could really do it. For the so-called justice, for the thoughts in his heart, and for the unchanging magical world, Dumbledore should have refused to take action.

Putting aside everything, but from the perspective of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Ada is standing in an old position this time, and Takamura Ichika is too cruel. This is why Ada has always been afraid of Dumbledore.

"Mr. Ollivander, there are different skills. In the field of wands, you are the undisputed master." Ada continued, "I have some questions about wands. I hope you can answer my questions."

There are people who can and dare to refuse Ada, but Garrick Ollivander is obviously not among them. He has no choice. Despite this, Ada still puts herself down and regards herself as a late learner, rather than putting on the airs of the devil and showing off his power.

"Wandcraft is a very profound knowledge. My ancestors and I have been studying this field for generations." Ollivander said, "I can do my best to help Miss Drizzt, but some things are not It can be explained clearly in a few words.”

Mr. Ollivander, who is obsessed with wands, has an eccentric nature. He only sees wands and does not have strict right and wrong. This can be seen from Ollivander's attitude towards Ada.

"Thank you very much," Ada said. "Mr. Ollivander, I would like to know what the limits of the wand are?"

"The limit?" Ollivander asked uncertainly. After receiving Ada's confirmation, he said: "I have made many wands and tried many material combinations. I don't know what the limit you are talking about is. What's the meaning."

Ollivander continued: "For example, the wand in your hand is made of yew wood and phoenix tail feathers. It is powerful, there is no doubt about it, and it blooms with the most gorgeous brilliance in your hand. Just Like another bearer of yew wood and phoenix tail feathers, his career is equally terrible and equally great.”

"In my understanding, the wand and the wizard are interdependent and achieve each other." Ada said, "In other words, we achieve each other. What if I change a wand?"
