Chapter 43 The Staff Maker

Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
When Douglas and Ron emerge from the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron.
Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, greeted Douglas warmly.
"Hey, Professor Holmes, aha! Would you like a free glass of mead, my treat!
Oh, and a little Weasley! "
Douglas shrugged regretfully, and said helplessly:
"You know, Professor McGonagall only gave me one hour. If I delay drinking, I don't know what the consequences will be!"
This old toothless old Tom sneered at Douglas.
"Hehe, I've become a professor, yet I'm afraid of Minerva McGonagall.
Oh, coward! "
Douglas snorted disdainfully, but still held back the words in his mouth, after all, there was a little Gryffindor with a big mouth next to him.
He lowered his head and said to Ron:
"Grab the hem of my clothes, don't get lost!"
Ron took a long breath and pointed to himself silently.
Douglas said as he walked towards the backyard of the bar:
"Don't doubt it, it's you. I don't want to come out and lose you.
If you don't follow suit, I have a very interesting Rope Art Charm, do you want to try it! "
Well, Ron finally knew why Douglas and Bill became good friends.
Sometimes they always look so out of place when they do things, of course don't let maybe think they are cool.
The two quickly crossed the street and made their way to Ollivander's wand shop.
Douglas is not at all worried about meeting his dear senior and editor, Mr. Slane.
After all, today is Saturday.
But when he passed Florin Fusco's ice cream shop, he was surprised to see his dear editor, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl, buying ice cream.
Douglas recognized at a glance that the little girl was Slane's daughter.
Seeing this scene, Douglas walked faster.
The editor has gotten less and less likable since he graduated.
Compared with other shops in Diagon Alley, Ollivander's wand shop is small and dilapidated. The golden signboard on the door has peeled off, and it reads: "Ollivander: Excellent Wands Since 382 BC".
Compared with the summer vacation, Ollivander's wand shop usually looks much deserted.
After stepping into the wand shop, there was a jingle of bells.
Ollivander appeared unsteadily on the counter.
Ron had never been to a wand shop, and he was very curious about everything here.
Gently tugging at the corner of Douglas's clothes, Ron asked in a low voice:
"Professor, are all those boxes magic wands?"
At this time, a soft voice came from behind the counter:
"Of course, yes, they're both wands.
Good afternoon, Professor Holmes, vine wood, 11 inches, aopocalyptus tail feathers.
At that time, I knew that you would have lofty pursuits, foresight, and do things that would shock your friends who thought they knew you.
Hehe, after all, no one thought that you would become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
Of course, since you brought the elderberry that was struck by lightning and still had vitality, and made it into a magic wand together with the feather of the thunderbird, I guessed that you would definitely take up this position, after all, an elderberry that cannot use black magic A wand, obviously very suitable..."
Douglas sneered:
"Hehe, I didn't expect that Ollivander, the famous stick maker, would learn to make false propaganda."
Ollivander glared:
"Douglas Holmes, don't think that just because you are a Hogwarts professor, you can slander me.
Not a single wand I've ever made, and sold, has been defective.
My Ollivander family has been making canes since 382 BC and has never falsely advertised..."
Douglas raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and said softly:
"Oh~"
He was so angry that Ollivander wanted to jump out of the counter and fight Douglas.
At this time, Douglas chuckled, and took out his lightning elder wand.
said disdainfully:
"Didn't you say that this wand, apart from being unable to cast black magic, is absolutely no worse than the Elder Wand in other respects.
But why did I use him to restore a broken wand, and that wand fell apart? "
Ollivander felt insulted professionally:
"Mr Holmes, who told you that a broken wand can be magically restored?
Not even the Elder Wand could do that.
Because every wand, even if the material is the same, the result will be different because the wand maker has different ideas when making the wand, or other subtle reasons.
In addition, the longer the wand stays with the owner, the more the wand interacts with the user...
Hmph, anyway, what you said doesn't exist at all. "
Douglas said suspiciously:
"But I do hear that a broken wand was restored with the Elder Wand."
Ollivander snorted coldly:
"I have never heard of it, and I can guarantee that all the cane makers in the world do not know the news.
You should not be deceived! "
Ollivander knew that the Elder Wand was in the possession of another wandmaker, Gregorovich, if he found out about the secret.
Word is sure to spread among the cane-maker circles.
Douglas was also speechless. He couldn't say that he had done it in the future Harry Potter he saw in a book.
At this time, Ollivander said:
"Actually, what you said is also possible, the Elder Wand is indeed very powerful.
If someone has used the Elder Wand to restore a wand, it means that the person who used the Elder Wand must know the restored wand very well..."
After finishing speaking, Ollivander looked at Douglas expectantly.
Douglas looked at Ollivander's hot eyes and was taken aback:
"Old man, don't you want me to break the original wand, and then use the lightning elder wand to restore that wand!
What are you kidding! "
Ollivander shrugged, and said helplessly with a bit of slyness:
"Only in this way can I get rid of my bad reputation of false propaganda..."
Douglas secretly scolded the old fox.
Douglas did have two wands, one was a vine wood, 11 inches, a crocodile's tail feather that he picked out here at Ollivander when he was 11 years old.
Of course, this magic wand is indeed very handy for him, and every time he uses it, there will be a feeling of being one with the wand.
The second magic wand was in a forest in Arizona in the southwestern United States after graduation.
It coincided with a thunderstorm, he looked up inadvertently, and found a thunderbird in the storm.
Dude, this is really rare.
Just when he was thinking about how to be like his Hufflepuff's senior Newt.
When having peaceful and friendly exchanges with this thunderbird.
A loud thunder fell on the elder tree where he was hiding from the rain.
He was so scared that he ran out quickly.
Fate is so wonderful, Douglas has heard of lightning strike wood more than once in his previous life.
Being able to see the birth of a piece of lightning strike wood with my own eyes, I immediately felt that this treasure was destined for me.
At this time, for some unknown reason, Thunderbird suddenly flew towards his position.
For his own safety, and to prevent Thunderbird from accidentally destroying the elder tree.
He directly pulled out his wand, and various spells attacked the Thunderbird.
Thunderbird feeling the danger.
He turned around and flew high in a very interesting manner, but was still hit by a tail feather by Douglas.
Thunderbird whined and flew towards the sky.
In the end, Douglas chopped off the piece of elderberry that had been struck by lightning, and then picked up the tail feather that the thunderbird had dropped.
After returning to England, find Ollivander, a famous stick maker, and give him the materials.
When Ollivander heard about how Douglas obtained these two materials.
Call it wonderful.
So after spending a professional customization fee of 100 Galleons in Douglas.
Ollivander readily agreed to Douglas, and must personally customize a pair of powerful wands for him.
After making it, Ollivander said to Douglas with a mysterious face:
"Mr. Holmes, I believe this wand is no worse than the legendary Elder Wand.
You may not know that the Elder Wand is made from elderberry and Thestral tail hair.
Although, over the years, countless people have tried to remake the Elder Wand, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded.
However, the material of this wand is more special than that of the Elder Wand, the most important thing is that they fit very well. "
What Ollivander, being a professional wandmaker does not say, is that he passed the crafting of this wand.
Can already guess why, so many cane makers in the past were unable to combine elderberry and thestral tail hair with each other.
It's a pity that that method needs too many years of verification.
After Douglas got a new wand, he couldn't put it down.
The spell cast with this wand was indeed stronger than the one cast by his previous wand.
But soon, he discovered that the wand made of lightning strike wood couldn't cast any black magic.
He was puzzled at first.
Until one day, he found an oriental Taoist classic handed down from Xiangjiang.
Only then did I really understand what lightning strike wood is.
And the energy contained in the lightning strike wood.
Although his root is not the orthodox Thunderbolt Jujube in the traditional sense, it is still very powerful.
So from then on, he used this magic wand as his trump card.
In order to better integrate with this lightning strike elderberry wand.
He tried various spells related to lightning.
It's a pity that the lightning spells he can find are basically meteorological spells, and they don't have much attack power.
So he found another way, and in the past two years, he tried to learn from the thunder magic spells in the oriental Taoist classics.
Transformed some offensive lightning spells suitable for western spells.
Obviously, his experiment was successful, making him feel that this wand is a wand comparable to the Deathly Hallows Old Wand...
Until encountering Ron's wand...
Standing aside, Ron seemed to be forgotten.
He was not at all interested in what the two of them were muttering about.
Suddenly, he found a pair of silver-white eyes staring at him, which made his hair stand on end.
Can't help but hide behind Douglas.
Then the old stick maker said to him:
"Oh, it was a Weasley.
Sorry, I don't remember you ever buying a wand from me?
Although not common, there are some. "
Ron blushed, feeling as if there were very few wizards in England who didn't buy wands from Ollivander.
At present he only knows two, one is him and the other is Neville Longbottom.
"Hello, I was using my brother Charlie, Charlie Weasley's wand, but it broke.
so……"
Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, greeted Douglas warmly.
"Hey, Professor Holmes, aha! Would you like a free glass of mead, my treat!
Oh, and a little Weasley! "
Douglas shrugged regretfully, and said helplessly:
"You know, Professor McGonagall only gave me one hour. If I delay drinking, I don't know what the consequences will be!"
