Chapter 4 Magic Wand

"It's a great honor for you to come to my store. Please tell me what you need me to do. I will spare no effort to complete it."

After calming down for a while, Mr. Garrick Ollivander no longer seemed so nervous.

But the excitement of seeing an idol is still unavoidable.

He didn't even dare to get too close to Nicoléme, after all, that was the legend he needed to look up to.

This legend in particular seemed so fragile.

"Model Ollivander, I still remember him."

Old Nico thought for a moment and said to Garrick Ollivander.

"He is a very talented wandmaker, and he has inspired me greatly in terms of the invisible link between the material and the user."

A heartfelt smile appeared on Garrick's face.

Is this just verbal praise? This is the legendary alchemist's recognition of the Ollivander family!

As far as he knew, no one of the three major wand makers in Europe had received such praise from the old man. This was the family's honor.

After the necessary pleasantries were over, Raven revealed the purpose of his trip. "Mr. Ollivander, I am a new student enrolling this year. My teacher and I came here to pick out wands."

Garrick then looked away from the idol and looked at Raven carefully for a while, showing a surprised look.

"You know, we at Ollivander have always advocated being the wand selectors, so we will do some understanding and evaluation of the wand buyers. Could it be that you are a Weasley?"

Raven pulled her face with her hands and said.

"Fred Weasley, George Weasley, we are triplets. Due to some special reasons, I don't look exactly like them, but we are very similar, right?"

Garrick had an embarrassed look on his face. It was obvious that the owners of these two names had left him with less than pleasant memories, but out of politeness he could only continue the conversation.

"Yes, not long ago your parents took Mr. Charlie Weasley to buy a new wand as a gift for him to become a dragon tamer. The wand has a unicorn hair core. It is difficult to convince those who are dozens of feet tall. Big guy, right?"

The wandmaker thought, "Your triplets bought their wands a year ago. I still remember that they are a combination of dogwood wood and unicorn hair. Maybe you should try it."

He turned around and walked back to the back hall. It seemed that there were relatively few wizards with the qualities favored by Dogwood, and there was no storage at the front desk.

There seemed to be a sound of something falling.

Not long after, Garrick Ollivander walked out of the back hall, looking slightly embarrassed.

"Please." He handed Raven a wand that was nine and a quarter inches long and had a spiral handle at the end with an expectant look on his face.

Raven was not polite either, pointing her wand at the empty box in the corner.

"Leviosa"

[Levitation Curse]

"A very beautiful wandless spell. Since Hogwarts deleted the levitation spell from the textbook and directly taught the advanced levitation spell (Wingardium Leviosa), it is rare to see young wizards using this. In my opinion, the practice of the former will help deepen the understanding of the latter." Mr. Ollivander praised.

It's hard, the fist is hard, is he yin and yang with me? He is trying to yin and yang me! Raven felt like hitting someone at this moment.

"I didn't expect that the wand used by your brother, which is made of the same material, would reject you like this. But for other people in the school, maybe this is a good thing?" Mr. Ollivander said the second part. He seemed to be mumbling to himself.

The next test of the cane went fairly smoothly, and there were no shortcuts, so just follow the process honestly.

I am used to swinging the cane with my right hand, as I have just seen.

Then he measured Raven's body data.

Although there was no successful match, at least the wands responded.

Twenty minutes later.

"This one will definitely do. I firmly believe that this wand is the most suitable combination for you." Mr. Ollivander solemnly handed a box containing the wand to Raven.

He took the box and pulled out his wand.

When her hand touched the handle of the staff, Raven had a hunch that it was her.

Without hurriedly waving it, Raven carefully looked at the wand in his hand.

Brown to gold, this is an acacia wood wand with a length of exactly ten inches, an obsessive-compulsive disorder-friendly number.

The handle of the cane is cut into a perfect pentagonal shape.

This time Raven didn't use magic, he just waved it meaninglessly, leaving a string of light in the air where the tip of the staff passed through.

A series of intersecting hexagonal crystal prisms seemed to condense in the air, interweaving seven colors of light.

Ollivander's introduction came to his ears.

"The acacia wood will be loyal to the gifted master, and the dragon's nerves will obey the powerful. You will be a great wizard in the future."

Then he glanced at Nicoléme, who looked satisfied, and added.

"Yes, this is a matter of course"

Not bothering to retort Mr. Ollivander's compliment.

Old Nico gave his little fanboy some advice.

"I know that the Ollivander family's wand selection theory contains some elements of prophecy, but even the diviners of the Trelawney family cannot guarantee that they can correctly interpret their prophecies. You The prophecies may unfold in unimaginable ways.”

Ollivander was not surprised that Nicoléme knew the family's magical secrets.

After all, this is an alchemist who has won the crown of alchemy, and wand making is just a branch of alchemy after all.

He humbly accepted Nicoléme's suggestion and readily accepted the ten galleons given by his idol.

Just kidding, giving this rich man a free bill would be an insult to his idol.

He would accept it religiously and keep the ten galleons as a family heirloom.

But Raven didn't plan to leave in a hurry, because he still had two things to do.

"I wonder what your relationship is with Gerbald Ollivander. He used to open a wand shop in Hogsmeade 100 years ago." Raven asked.

Garrick Ollivander was very surprised and looked at the little wizard.

"This is my great-grandfather, how did you know this name?"

Of course Raven wouldn't answer truthfully. He couldn't say that this old man had customized it for me before, right? So he continued.

"I once saw a wand focusing on ancient magic in the records about the last goblin rebellion, and the producer was Mr. Gelbold. If he made a backup at that time, please be sure to contact us by owl I."

Mr. Ollivander was not surprised. As an alchemist, it is understandable to study any strange things. So he nodded

"According to the knowledge of wand making that I have inherited, wands that focus on ancient magic are very sensitive. It is difficult for the magic we usually use to be effective. If there is a backup, it will definitely become useless due to the complete loss of ancient magic. A reactive wand. I'll look for it in my wand library at home."

Once the main goal is achieved, the second thing becomes a trivial matter.

"I plan to give my brother Ron Weasley a wand. From what I know about him, it should be made of willow wood and unicorn hair. I will let my family take him to choose it in the near future."

Raven took out another ten galleons from his pocket and handed it to Ollivander.

"The extra money will be used to put into the ancient magic wand." Raven said.

Seeing that everything had been completed, Raven and Nicoléme did not stay any longer. There were still many things waiting to be completed on the admission list.
