Chapter 10 Platform 9, where the dream begins
Two days later, Lin Xia quit her part-time job at Ollivander and received 15 gold galleons, as well as an extra wand that belonged to her.
"The tail feathers of the Thestral, made of beech, 13 inches, a very extraordinary wand." Ollivander looked at Lin Xia, his light-colored pupils were like the full moon hanging high in the sky.
"The power of the Thestral can only be seen by those who have seen the dead. It was once considered by the wizarding world to be the creature closest to death. Some people say that it is a creature created by the God of Death."
He murmured, touching the wand box with his hand, reluctantly parting with it.
"Using it to make a stick core is the most erratic. It may be strong or weak. The beech material accentuates its characteristics.
Only wizards with superior intelligence than their peers can control it. People who are narrow-minded and paranoid will never be able to exert its true power. "
Lin Xia took the wand casually.
"... Someone once offered me ten thousand gold galleons to buy this wand, but I could tell at a glance that he was not the wand's owner, so I refused."
Lin Xia coughed lightly and carefully put the wand into the wand box.
Ollivander suddenly said: "Lin Xia, I know you want another wand, but at this stage, this wand is more suitable for you."
It was not surprising that Lin Xia saw what he was thinking. After all, she often touched the wand when she was working to see if she could use metaphysics to deepen the connection.
"Well, the core of the wand is made of the horn of a long-horned water snake. It is made of black walnut wood. It is 14 inches. It does not follow the usual path. It has keen intuition and powerful insight. It will also warn the owner when it encounters danger. It is a very powerful and extraordinary one. A magic wand.”
Ollivander shook his head and said nervously: "Oh, snake horns, snake horns! I remembered that a great wizard once used snake horns to make wands. That was Salazar Slytherin. It’s the basilisk’s horn!”
"The basilisk is really a magical creature. I heard that it is also a favorite pet of the God of Death. Don't you think it's magical?" he asked.
Lin Xia's heart trembled slightly and she whispered back: "But that's not suitable for me."
Ollivander smiled and stroked the little wizard's head: "You know, there are many things in the world where you can avoid risks. I hope you are on the right path."
Looking at Lin Xia's leaving figure, Ollivander suddenly had an inexplicable premonition.
——He seemed to see a new crescent moon rising.

[Dear Mr. Ollivander:
Hello! How are you doing lately?
By the time you receive this letter, I will be at Hogwarts, or on my way to it.
Entering a new college to study, my heart is extremely surging, and I often think of your teachings: stay humble, stay passionate, and stay on the right path.
By the way, I forgot to tell you, on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was full of homesickness. I ordered a lot of delicious food to worship the bright moon, but only a small amount went into my stomach. I believe sir can understand me. I feel homesick. In a foreign country, my hometown is my deepest concern.
Their bills will be signed by you at the end of the month. In case you don’t understand, I would like to explain this to you. The students will always remember your husband’s generosity!
Also, I'm sorry to tell you that I accidentally boiled the dragon's nerves in your inventory with boiling hot water and swallowed them by mistake.
But it doesn’t matter, I just took half of it by mistake, and the other half is still on the shelf. My family has helped me solve the problem of physical conflict after the magic power overflowed, so I don’t need to worry about my health.
Finally, I still want to say something: You are the most generous boss and the most generous teacher!
wish:
Stay healthy and make money every day
Student/Employee: Lin Xia
August 31]
Enclosed with the letter: "Report on my discovery that magic magnets can form a magic magnetic field and resonate with magic."
Separate postscript with the report: I may have discovered a completely new way of making wands, but I still need to perfect it, and I need your help, sir. I hope we are all on the right path!
On August 31st, the resident staff felt that Mr. Ollivander was strange.
First he smiled helplessly, then he scolded and cursed loudly, and finally he stared at a report with a serious expression and babbled:
"This is really a novel discovery, perhaps a great discovery. She actually found a new way to make a stick. Although I can't see her behavior, it always makes me feel like a retard."
"Mom, there are so many people here!"
On the train platform, Draco looked around curiously as a child. He had never been to a place with so many people.
Narcissa said: "Most of the people here are Muggles, and this station is a very popular station among Muggles.
My child, I should take you to Muggle markets more often. That would be called a crowd! Although it is not elegant at all to be crowded, we can watch from a safe and open place. "
"Okay, we're here. The dividing wall between the ninth and tenth is a magical wall. A Muggle shielding spell has been set up, so Muggles can't get in."
Charlie handed Lin Xia a small brown deerskin leather bag with a cute little bear pendant hanging on it.
"Xiaoxia, after entering the academy, you must be sensible and obedient. If you want to do bad things-"
After Xia Li spoke for a while, Lin Rui held his wife in one hand and his daughter in the other, and surrounded them through the magic wall, "Then you have to cover your traces!"
Personally sent Lin Xia to the train, and only when the train started to sound and the crimson steam train could no longer be seen did Xia Li and Lin Rui leave.
Lucius and Narcissa wanted to leave early, but when they thought of the Eastern Warlock who was far more powerful than them standing on the platform and watching the child leave, they decided not to leave.
You can't compete in ability, but you can't compete in the education of your child, right?
Even if you can't compete, can't you still follow suit?
In the train, Lin Xia turned around to find a seat until she couldn't see her parents.
Relying on the reputation of the Malfoy family, Draco politely asked the people in a box to leave, and did not forget to compensate them with 1 gold galleon each.
Lin Xia did not reject the privileged class. Who would have a problem with money?
However, Lin Xia also reminded: "Draco, if someone is unwilling to give up their seat, don't force them. Someone will always give up."
Since studying the Muggle course and the heir course, Draco has put away his superficial pride, but he still has the arrogance of the Malfoy family in his bones.
Draco smiled noncommittally, and said in a boastful tone: "Lin Xia, no one can refuse the Malfoy family, except the strong who don't need to rely on anything."
Lin Xia looked thoughtfully at Harry Potter, who was surrounded by the crowd outside. The boy who survived the disaster with a lightning scar on his forehead, they had seen him in the robe shop before.
"Draco, you are wrong, for example."
She pointed at Harry outside: "He defeated the mysterious man and never relied on the ancient Potter family."
Draco held his stretched neck and stopped talking.
Lin Xia said bluntly: "You are still just a child who is obsessed with the family's glory, and you are far from mature. You don't understand that the family's glory is achieved by your own hard work, not by bragging."
