Chapter 7 Ollivander's Wand Shop

The two families came to an ice cream shop in Diagon Alley. The place was beautifully decorated and the desserts were delicious, but everyone's attention was attracted by Robert's story.

"Oh! My God!" Mr. Weasley looked at Robert in surprise, "You are actually the child of Charles and Anna! Your parents are both great Aurors, they are heroes, I always thought they were They just live in seclusion! The Ministry of Magic never said they had a child! Oh, damn, why didn’t I know the news earlier! Do they think they can just pretend that nothing happened?”

"Boy, have you been in London lately? No? Oh, never mind, you can stay at the Leaky Cauldron, damn, I'm going to write to the Minister! It's their mistake! Big mistake! I'm so sorry, Molly, but I can't turn a blind eye to this!" Mr. Weasley walked away angrily. He was using the fireplace. After the green light passed, a group of people were left looking at each other.

Fortunately, Mrs. Weasley reacted quickly, and with her warm invitation, Robert agreed to go to the Burrow during the summer vacation.

After exchanging Galleons for this year from Gringotts, Mrs. Weasley suggested that they go shopping together. For this proposal, the three of them expressed their gratitude.

They don't know anything about the wizarding world. Having such a diligent and thrifty lady here will definitely save them a lot of trouble.

"Let's buy a wand first." Mrs. Weasley obviously understood the child's thoughts very well. She said with a smile, "I think you can't wait!"

Robert's eyes lit up and he nodded. For a beginner, magic cannot be released without a wand. Although he has memorized a lot of magic, he wants to use them even more!

Outside Ollivander's Wand Shop.

"In the whole of Europe, you will never find a better wand-maker than Mr. Ollivander." Mrs. Weasley said proudly, "Okay, my child, come in quickly. Do you need me to accompany you?" "

After declining everyone's escort, taking a deep breath, Robert pushed open the door.

As the jingling bell rang, the dark and narrow shop appeared in front of Robert.

There is a bench at the entrance, and there are steps going up to the left of the counter. Behind it, there are countless long and narrow paper boxes piled densely. Beautiful-looking vases are placed around the room, which looks a bit strange.

Robert curiously looked at this store, which can be called the production center of HP world artifacts.

"Good morning." A soft voice sounded, and Robert looked up subconsciously. An old man walked out of the shelves filled with boxes. His hair and eyes seemed to emit a soft white light, which was very conspicuous in the dim store.

For a moment, Robert felt as if all his secrets had been revealed.

"Good morning, Mr. Ollivander." He responded softly and stretched out his paw, "I am Robert Leslie, a new student at Hogwarts. I am looking for a lifelong companion from you. partner."

"Partner?" Ollivander chewed the word, with a smile on his lips, and shook his little hand, "This is a good word, very appropriate."

He nodded and said in a brisk tone, "Well, Mr. Leslie, it's nice to meet you. In fact, I remember every wand I sold. Your excited expression is very much like your father's. , it was like this when he first came to buy a wand. Ash wood, eleven inches long, and the strongest unicorn hair I’ve ever seen.”

"But, your mother is more suitable for cedar wood, thirteen inches long." Mr. Ollivander blinked, "That is a smart and strong girl."

Robert blinked and did not answer.

"What about you?" Mr. Ollivander's eyes met his, and a silvery white light seemed to flash through him. "Which arm do you use to use the wand?"

Robert held out his right hand, "Right hand, sir."

"Lift your arms," ​​he said, and began to measure, from shoulders to fingertips, from wrists to elbows, shoulders to the floor, knees to armpits, and finally the circumference of the head.

While measuring, he said something that might be an advertisement, "Every Ollivander wand contains super powerful magical substances, which is its essence. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves." As a wand core. Every Ollivander wand is unique, as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, you will never It has such a good effect.”

As he finished speaking, Mr. Ollivander left the spot, and his naughty tape measure jumped up. Robert subconsciously covered his nose, and the tape measure faltered for a moment and stopped in mid-air.

Robert stared at the tape measure, and the tape measure was also a little confused. The end of the ruler shook towards Robert twice, probably to signal the naughty kid in front of him to take his hands away so that he could do his own evil thing and measure the distance between his nostrils.

Robert was unmoved.

The two guys faced off for a long time. When Mr. Ollivander came back with several cartons, Robert let go of his hand as if he had made a mistake. The tape measure bounced twice in the air, and he just finished measuring the last step. , then he rolled himself into a ball and rolled away angrily.

Ignoring the naughty little guy, Mr. Ollivander began to introduce his magic wand.

"Your parents are both fond of unicorns. I think you can try this one. It's made of beech wood and unicorn hair. It's eleven and a half inches long and very flexible." He handed over a dark wand.

Robert took the wand and waved it to the side.

In the distance, a beautiful vase exploded. Robert was stunned for a moment. Well, you shouldn't ask me to pay for it, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Ollivander took the wand and said, "Acacia wood, dragon's nerve, twelve inches, try again."

He raised his wand curiously, and a pile of cardboard boxes filled with materials flew out when he waved it. Robert was startled.

After that, he experienced legendary treatment.

The wands he had tried were scattered all over the place, giving Robert the illusion that if there was a fire now, he could use them to cook meat.

In the end, I don’t know if Mr. Ollivander finally satisfied his little addiction, but he finally took out a paper box that was even older than the previous one.

"I think you can try this one." Mr. Ollivander opened the carton with a smile. It was a black wand.

Robert took a fancy to it at a glance. The black wand seemed to have traces of patterns on it, flowing through the wand like flowing water.

There was no explanation. When he held the wand, Robert only felt a cold chill flowing through his body. The wand in his hand seemed to merge with himself in an instant. No, to be precise, the wand became his arm. extension.

"Human and staff become one?" In a daze, Robert thought of this word.
