Chapter 4 The wand chooses the wizard
In any case, the wand still needs to be bought, and Kyle cautiously opened the door and walked in.
Diana and Chris didn't follow, probably because they thought it would take a long time to buy a wand, so after learning that Kyle was going to Ollivander first, they diverted to Gringotts.
……
The inside of the store is much better than the outside. Although it still looks old and the items are arranged in a mess, at least it is much cleaner.
With the sound of crisp wind chimes, a gray-bearded head appeared behind the counter at some point.
"Good afternoon, boy."
Ollivander looked at Kyle and asked inexplicably, "You came alone?"
"Yes." Kyle puzzled: "Is there any problem?"
Ollivander shook his head, "No, of course not."
As he spoke, Kyle vaguely saw disappointment in his eyes.
Strange, why should customers be disappointed when they come to your door?
"You must have misunderstood it." Kyle shook his head without thinking too much.
"Okay, little wizard."
Ollivander came out from behind the counter and asked, "So boy, can you tell me your name?"
"Kyle, Chopper." Kyle said quickly.
"Chopper..." Ollivander was slightly taken aback and said, "Then Mr. Chris is..."
"My father." Kyle said.
"Oh, of course..." Ollivander glanced out of the store subconsciously, but quickly looked away, and explained: "I mean, after all, in the British magic world, there are not many people with the surname Chopper See."
Sure, the old man is indeed disappointed!
Kyle saw it clearly, just when he said Chris was his father, the disappointment in Ollivander's eyes almost overflowed.
Not only that, but he also started to whisper in his mouth, repeating willow, or Tochigi, the voice was too low, Kyle couldn't hear clearly, but he didn't care.
At this time, Kyle's mind is full of his own magic wand, so he doesn't have the mood to care about these things.
After reporting his name, Kyle took the initiative to say: "Mr. Ollivander, I am used to using my right hand."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his arms straight to make it easier for Ollivander to measure his height and arms.
He couldn't be more clear about the process here.
After measuring the data, it should be the time to choose the magic wand, which is also the most time-consuming part.
The number of wands here is not [-], but [-]. In Kyle's view, even Ollivander should have difficulty finding a wand that matches the little wizard at a glance. He can only choose a rough range, and then a a try.
He is ready.
And trying on wands is one of the things Kyle wants to do, like moving the trash can.
However, what Ollivander said next made Kyle a little confused.
"Oh, boy, if it's you, you don't need to."
Next, without measuring his height or asking for details, Kyle just watched Ollivander walk into the counter, quickly pulled out a box from the most conspicuous position, opened it, and pushed it to Kyle. before.
The movements were done in one go, without any hesitation in the middle.
"What are you waiting for, give it a try!"
Seeing that Kyle didn't move, Ollivander couldn't help urging.
"Huh? Oh, okay." Kyle came back to his senses and subconsciously picked up the wand in the box.
Gray and black, the appearance is very smooth, except for the necessary handles, there are no extra textures and accessories.
It looks quite popular.
Kyle held the wand, and before he could do anything, a white light gushed out from the tip of the wand, and it filled the whole room in the blink of an eye. There is a skylight on the top.
"Okay, great."
Ollivander looked very excited, and without waiting for Kyle to ask, he said to himself: "Thirteen and a half inches, cedar wood, phoenix feathers, I have to say, this is a very magical combination .”
"A magical match?" Kyle was a little puzzled.
"Yes, amazing."
Ollivander stared at Kyle, and patiently explained: "The cedar wand usually chooses wizards who are wise and have keen insight. These wizards are naturally calm, and every choice they make is carefully considered. The result. Like my father once said, you can never fool a man with a cedar wand, and I wholeheartedly agree."
"Thus, people with cedar wands tend to prefer the stable and loyal unicorn tail feathers, while the phoenix tail feathers are a bit too active.
In fact I made and sold 36 cedar wands, thirty of which had unicorn tail hair cores, five of which were dragon heart tendons, and the last..."
Ollivander didn't speak, just smiled and pointed to Kyle.
Kyle was puzzled: "But sir, didn't you say that these two materials are not suitable for matching together? Then why did you make it."
"The material is not suitable, so it is not made? No, no, this is wrong. The wand chooses the wizard, boy. Every wand, since its birth, will choose its destined owner, just like they..."
Ollivander pointed to the hill-like wand box behind him, and said with a smile: "The reason why they are still here is not because they are bad, but because their fate has not yet come. Their owners are just waiting for Huo Where's Gwartz's owl?"
Ollivander paused, and continued: "In addition, the completely opposite wand body and wand core can perfectly play their respective roles in the hands of a wizard, which is also the most fascinating part of wand science.
Like the wand in your hand, your father Chris tried it, your mother Diana tried it, but they were all off by a little bit, just a little bit.
So after the news of your birth, I have been waiting for this day, it is perfect, isn't it? "
Uh...um.
Kyle nodded subconsciously.
The feeling of using his fingers in the palm of his hand really made him a little obsessed, and naturally he couldn't put it down in his hand.
Although the process was somewhat different from what he had expected, the result was still good, and Kyle was very satisfied with his wand.
"Then child, Seven Galleons."
Ollivander smiled visibly wider.
"Okay." Kyle took out the seven Galleons he had prepared earlier and placed them on the counter.
A freshman's first wand is usually seven Galleons, which is already a very favorable price in the wizarding world, but this discount is only applicable to young wizards who have just entered school.
After paying the money, Ollivander bowed slightly and watched Kyle leave, then turned to look at another young wizard who had just entered the store, and the adults following him.
"Oh, Mr. Thomas again, eleven inches, hawthorn..."
In any case, the wand still needs to be bought, and Kyle cautiously opened the door and walked in.
Diana and Chris didn't follow, probably because they thought it would take a long time to buy a wand, so after learning that Kyle was going to Ollivander first, they diverted to Gringotts.
