#229 - Chapter 229 It's time to order a new wand

Seeing that Sebastian remained unmoved, Headmaster Black pleaded again.

"Sebastian, I know you and Sirius don't get along. How about this, I'll take the lead. After we find him, you can beat him up to vent your anger."

"Besides, after arriving at Number 12, Grimmauld Place, you can take whatever you fancy."

"You know, as an old pure-blood family, the Black family has many very valuable antiques. In addition, the book collection there is extremely rich, almost comparable to the Hogwarts library."

"I believe you will definitely find something of interest there."

"The Black family also has a large amount of Galleons stored in Gringotts. You can have Sirius pay you a sufficient reward."

"How about it? Consider my suggestion."

Sebastian imperceptibly curled his lips.

To take whatever he fancied? Number 12, Grimmauld Place, had an owner.

The true heir of the Black family, Regulus, was still alive and well.

How could he possibly go there and take whatever he fancied?

Moreover, according to Sebastian's deduction, Sirius might not even be able to enter Number 12, Grimmauld Place.

You should know that in the magical world, expelling family members is done through special family tree magic. After being removed from the family tree, everything in the family has nothing to do with the expelled person.

In the original story, Sirius could return to the Black family and use the Black family's Galleons in Gringotts because he was the only one left alive in the entire Black family.

He naturally became the sole heir of the Black family, able to return home and use the family's Galleons.

But now that Regulus was alive and well, Sirius, the guy who was expelled from the Black family, certainly wouldn't enjoy any of the Black family's benefits.

If Regulus didn't personally add Sirius back to the family tree, Sirius simply couldn't enter Number 12, Grimmauld Place, nor could he use any of the Galleons in Gringotts.

Seeing Sebastian fall into silence, Headmaster Black anxiously asked, "How's your consideration going? Give me an answer, Dumbledore will be back soon."

"Merlin's beard! How are you already back, Dumbledore? What did you hear?"

"I heard a lot, such as Sirius being the only heir of your Black family," Dumbledore's figure appeared at the entrance of the headmaster's office.

He said in a firm tone, "Phineas, I will not allow anyone to harbor this criminal."

Phineas Black shouted indignantly, "Dumbledore, you can't be so heartless. This is the last hope of the Black family."

"Heartless?" Dumbledore raised his voice, "Betraying friends, slaughtering Muggles, and now escaping from prison and attempting to murder his godson."

"Phineas, do you want the professors of Hogwarts to harbor such a criminal?"

Phineas' portrait opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but ultimately said nothing.

He just sighed heavily, hunched over, and sat on the ground in the portrait.

"Sebastian," Dumbledore turned his head, looked at Sebastian, and said, "I believe you won't do anything foolish."

"Of course not, Headmaster, don't worry," Sebastian said, "Did you ask me to stay behind to explain something?"

Dumbledore rubbed his forehead, sat in the chair and said, "It's about the new professors."

"Apart from the Muggle Studies and Alchemy professors being people you recommended, the professors for other subjects have also basically been recruited."

"Minerva has arranged the professors' dormitories for them."

"However, the dormitories don't have matching furniture yet. If it were ordinary furniture, it would be easy to solve, but now all of Hogwarts is using the high-end alchemical furniture you provided."

"For the sake of fairness, the school is preparing to purchase some of the same furniture from Swan Alchemy."

Dumbledore said with a smile, "I want to ask, can you give a preferential price?"

That's it?

He thought it was a big deal.

Sebastian smiled slightly and generously said, "What preferential price? This little thing can't possibly make the school spend money."

"I have stated from the beginning of my employment that I will cover the furniture in the professors' offices. You can just write me a letter for this kind of small matter."

"Would you like to introduce the new professors to me? I'll learn about them in advance, so it will be easier to get along with colleagues in the future."

Sebastian's little abacus was ringing loudly.

This was a good time to win people's hearts!

After returning, he had to prepare a welcome package for each new professor.

In this way, his say in the new professors' opinions would definitely increase greatly.

Hearing Sebastian's request, Dumbledore smiled and took out a stack of documents, introducing them to Sebastian one by one.

...........................

Fudge's efficiency was very high, and he mailed the Hogsmeade documents to Sebastian in a couple of days.

In the following days, Sebastian developed Hogsmeade with the Swan Alchemy staff while training Harry's dueling skills.

In addition, he would also take the time to find a place where no one was around to train his dragon-human form.

With this training, he really discovered a small problem.

Sebastian's wand and his dragon-human form were very mismatched. Every time he released a spell in dragon-human form, there would be a faint sense of stagnation.

If he used his full strength, he could even hear the wand wailing.

What does this mean?

This meant that the magic power of the dragon-human form was too strong, and Sebastian's wand could no longer withstand this high-intensity magic output.

Not only that, but the current wand also had some problems.

For Sebastian in dragon-human form, the current wand was too short.

Holding it in his hand was like an ordinary person holding a cigarette, it just didn't feel right no matter how he used it.

Moreover, the wooden material was a bit too fragile for the dragon-human form. Every time he used the wand, Sebastian had to be careful, lest he accidentally crushed the wand.

From any point of view, Sebastian urgently needed to change to a powerful wand.

Otherwise, after transforming into the dragon-human form, he would be restrained and unable to exert 100% of his combat power.

To buy a suitable wand, he still had to go to Ollivander's Wand Shop.

Given the special nature of the dragon-human form, Ollivander's stock might not have one suitable for Sebastian.

Therefore, Sebastian wanted Ollivander to customize a unique wand based on his dragon-human form.

However, it was currently the summer vacation, and many new students would go to Ollivander's to buy wands, so Ollivander would definitely be very busy.

To have Ollivander focus on customizing a wand for him, he still had to wait for the new students to finish buying their wands.

Sebastian patiently waited until the third day before the start of school, when he came to Diagon Alley alone.
