Chapter 7 Gift
Looking at this black spine-shaped magic wand, Carl's face twitched wildly, because the shape of the magic wand was so special.
If it happened in a movie, when someone pulled out a weapon like this, the word "villain" would almost be written on his face.
This was totally inconsistent with his 'low-key' style of doing things, so he spoke tactfully.
"Excuse me Mr. Ollivander, I..."
But before he could refuse, the annoying voice in his head sounded again.
[You are so handsome, host. Such an elegant and evil wand is simply the standard equipment for villains. Please accept it quickly. ]
[Let's stir up a bloody storm in the magic world, hehe! ! ]
Seeing that the dog system was not only a dog but also seemed to be a little abnormal, Carl of course refused it sternly.
"No, I don't want to. I don't want to have the word villain stuck on my face before I even enter the academy. That's really stupid."
[No, you need it! ]
"No, I don't want it."
[No, you need it! ]
One person, one system, they kept arguing in their minds, even in Ollivander in reality.
Everyone thought that Carl was standing there in a daze because he hadn't found a suitable wand for a long time and was a little depressed.
Just when he was about to persuade the other party, the system finally couldn't win over Carl and gave its final price.
[No, you must accept this elegant wand and immediately reward the host with god-level hand proficiency]
[This reward will make your fingers and arms extremely flexible, no matter when performing magic. ]
[Or any human hand movement, you will reach the pinnacle. ]
"Okay, I need it." Upon hearing that there was a reward, Carl compromised very smoothly and returned to reality immediately.
He said with a smile to Ollivander who was standing beside him and ready to comfort him.
"I'm sorry, sir. I was a little distracted just now. I just didn't expect that you could do this for me. I..."
As he spoke, the magical acting skills were performed again, and a few tears fell from the corners of Carl's eyes.
Seeing how distressed Ollivander was, he completely forgot that he had just been in a daze for no apparent reason, and hurried to comfort him.
"Kid, this is definitely not your fault. You must have been through pain we can't even imagine, but you are safe now."
"Try this wand, it should suit you well."
"Thank you!" Carl was still performing. His face was full of emotion and he took the wand from the other person with trembling hands.
As soon as he took the wand, a strange feeling immediately filled his hands. This wand was not as scary and disgusting as it seemed.
Instead, he felt a cool and warm feeling like jade, and at the same time he felt the muscles in his hands contracting.
Just like data being read from a hard drive, every muscle in my hand acquired countless memories in an instant.
Carl subconsciously raised his wand and waved it around as if possessed by a ghost.
Silvery-white mist emanated from the top of the wand, floating in the air and gradually condensing into shape.
"Merlin's underpants!" Ollivander looked at the silver-white mist above his head, puzzled at first, and then screamed in surprise.
"The Patronus Charm...it's actually the Patronus Charm..."
It's no wonder that he lost his composure. Not to mention, the Patronus Charm is an extremely advanced defensive spell against the dark arts, which many adult wizards cannot master in their lifetime.
But the young man in front of him, just after getting the wand, he spontaneously used the Patronus Charm.
In the air, the silver-white guardian angel finally gradually took shape, and a phoenix with spread wings began to soar in this broken shop.
"Phoenix... Your patronus is a phoenix..."
Ollivander fell into complete madness. He excitedly grabbed Carl's arm and pointed at the phoenix still soaring in the sky.
"Your Patronus is exactly the same as Headmaster Dumbledore's. You will definitely become a great wizard, Mr. Carl."
"And this is proof that you are not evil at heart, he is just filled with hatred and despair."
"Like a diamond wrapped in a briquette, you have good intentions in your heart, and I was right."
"I am right!! My ideals and beliefs are right!!!"
Ollivander yelled madly, his voice was harsh and loud, and even the door that had just been propped up seemed to fall to the ground again because of the yelling.
As the dust flew, Professor Snape reappeared. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked intently at the silver phoenix soaring in the store.
He also looked stunned.
Seeing a professor standing there in a daze and a shop owner who seemed to be going crazy with joy, Carl could only put away his wand silently.
The Patronus also dissipated, and Ollivander and Professor Snape finally recovered from their shock.
"A perfect performance, Mr. Carl." Ollivander smiled and patted Carl on the shoulder and nodded continuously.
"This scene will be recorded forever in the history of the Ollivander family. It is a milestone in the history of wand making."
"Your appearance has fully proved that any magical creation cannot be inherently evil."
"Whether it's the Thestrals representing death or the black dragons representing despair, these magical animals carry a lot of meaning."
"It's just our groundless guess. I believe you will become a great wizard in the future."
"Then how much should I pay you?" Carl blushed for the rare time when he was praised like this, but after he asked this question.
Ollivander's face changed immediately, and he pushed him and Professor Snape out of the shop while yelling loudly.
"Today's significance is priceless. I will not allow anyone to insult this day with money. You guys go away. I want to enjoy my success."
"Clang!!"
The poor door panel was ruthlessly thrown against the door frame for the third time, and Professor Snape and Carl were kicked out of the store.
I could only stand there and listen to the creepy laughter coming from the store.
Ten full minutes passed and the laughter didn't stop.
Until Professor Snape, who was standing by, seemed unable to bear such embarrassment and took his hands out from behind his back.
Then he handed a cage to Carl and said with a still cold expression.
"I don't want you to get too hung up on this, but you are a special student after all, and the principal wants you to bring a pet to school in your first year."
"Whatever you say, it will make it easier for you to feel the love in your heart. Since you wasted too much time choosing a wand, I bought you a raven."
Looking at the pitch-black bird in the cage, Carl couldn't help but laugh, because this raven really looked like Professor Snape in front of him.
But he was still polite, took the cage and nodded.
"Thank you, Professor Snape. I will treasure it."
Carl didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he found that the moment he took the cage, Professor Snape was obviously relieved.
Obviously, this arrogant old man was also afraid that he would not accept his gift.
"Most pets have names. What do you want to call it?"
Snape said coldly, as if it wasn't a gift at all.
Faced with such a proud behavior, Carl looked at the raven in the cage and then at Professor Snape.
In his heart, he really wanted to name the bird Severus Snape, but considering that their relationship had finally improved.
He said calmly.
"I would like to call it..."
Unfortunately, things don't always go as we wish, and that annoying voice sounded in my mind again.
[As a villain, he cannot miss any opportunity to humiliate the professor and violate school rules, so he named his crow Severus Snape.]
[Trigger chain rewards, magical animals are naturally friendly. 】
