Ollivanders, who has been a well-made wand since 382 BC. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a very long sign, but it's Diagon Alley, and the entire European wizarding world is famous for its 'Ollivander' wand shop, and some wizards even travel across the ocean to find Ollivanders to have a wand of their own.
Ollivander is naturally not a man, but a family, a great family of wizards who have studied wands for generations, and they know the wands of almost all wizards in the world.
Ding dong.
After the doorbell rang, no one came to pick up customers, Robin gracefully came to the messy store, although from the outside the store is only about four meters wide, but the depth is very deep, in the store stacked dense boxes, wood, stone, cardboard, metal, all the boxes are about the same length, width and height, the common point is that they are all covered with dust.
The boxes were clearly full of wands, and separating the guests from the wand warehouse was a counter at the height of an adult's chest, on which were some raw materials, a messy ledger or two, and a few orders.
"Anyone, please?" Robin shouted into the narrow passage of people in the store.
There was movement, and out of the high wall of the boxes came an old man with gray hair that kicked up dust. Seeing that it was a guest, the old man smiled: "Welcome to the Ollivanders wand shop, this store has a long history, and you will definitely be able to buy a wand to your heart's content." ”
The old man came out of the counter, came to Robin, and took a tape measure from his sleeve like a magic magic: "I wonder which lucky wand can be chosen by your elegant lady?" "Now let me measure your arms, forearms, height, and head circumference. ”
...... Robin said that he didn't understand it very well, and the length of his arm could be understood, after all, he had to wave his hand and use his wand, but what was the use of height and head circumference?
But Robin knew that she really needed a wand, so she didn't speak, and looking at the old man's excited movements, she had more questions.
In fact, Ollivander was so excited because Robin was the first customer after Voldemort disappeared and he reopened the shop. He couldn't find his owner, and the wand in Ollivander's shop was about to cry.
Now that Robin is here, Ollivander can feel the wands in his shop cheering, and is visibly happy: "Beautiful Miss Wizard, how many wands are these?"
"The first one. ”
"First?" Ollivander raised his voice, "how is that possible? ”
"I'm an adult. Robin was used to the wizard's fuss, and the little old man was normal: "But I did choose my first wand." ”
"Maybe it's because of the mystery man. "Ollivander is not entangled, because of Voldemort, the entire wizarding world has been in turmoil for a whole ten years, maybe this young lady's parents can't trust Hogwarts, so it is possible that they did not send her to school.
The poor boy came to buy his first wand when he became an adult.
"Peachwood, twelve inches, a little bit of a unicorn's mane, I think it's going to suit you. The old man took out a wooden box from the wall of the box, which was actually a shelf, and carefully opened it, it was the unicorn wand: "Give it a try, wave it." ”
Ollivanders looked forward to the effect of the wand in Robin's hand.
Robin shook his wrist, and an orange light came out of the wand head, hitting the magic lamp on the counter, and the glass products shattered into flying glass chips in an instant.
Whether this is good or not, Robin doesn't understand anyway, she just feels that the wand can channel her strength, which is very convenient. This is still a bit different from the wand designed by Duran, the wand designed by Duran is just a computer that calculates the position of the heavens and the earth and the starry sky to exert the power of the stars, but the wizard's wand is to guide the magic power in his body.
Ollivander was also surprised: "Very amazing magic, I think your family must have a great history that is not inferior to any magic family." "However, this wand is not for you, rest assured, I will definitely find one that suits you." "Ollivander was excited, he liked the most discerning guests.
Plunging headlong into the box container, muttering to himself, "No, not this, not this ......" There were so many options that he had to find a way to choose the most suitable wand for Robin.
"Aha. Ollivander took out a stone box from the bottom: "Let's take a look at this little fellow, ten and a sixth of an inch, wood in the heart of a banyan tree, with eagle feathers in the core." Suitable for a powerful wizard with a will as strong as a stone. ”
Robin waved it slightly as before, and in an instant, Robin's powerful magic power gathered on the head of the wand.
"Wow, perfect. Looking at the glow of the tip of his wand, Ollivanders knew that he had made another excellent choice, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and he was happier than Robin.
Like his own fingers, Robin looked at the wand curiously, and found that the wand was really like an extension of his body, which was very suitable for his own strength. The tawny wood has a faint vein, and the handle is carved to resemble an eagle snoozing, and the wand extends from under the eagle's limbs, a very beautiful wand.
"You two are a good match. ”
"How much?"
"Fifteen gold, three galleons, and three silver. "That's the equivalent of £125 in this era, but now it's 1981, that's a lot more than that. However, wands usually follow wizards for the rest of their lives, so it is also cost-effective to buy.
Robin exchanged some gold galleons at Gringotts, and the exchange rate against the pound was one to five.
Bought.
With the wand in hand, Robin is about to start looking for a job in earnest: "Do you need a part-time employee here?"
Ollivander, who was taking care of the accounts, raised his head and looked at Robin from behind his reading glasses: "You want to come out to work?" "You must know that we wizards generally don't hire other people, and take care of their own business. "Ordinary people may have a shortage of manpower, but there is no such thing for wizards, they are wizards, and with the wave of their wands, they can make the broom clean by themselves and let the dishes wash themselves, so they don't need helpers at all, they can do it all by themselves.
"But I need a job. Robin said, "I don't know anything about the wizarding world. ”
"It's cruel parents, even if it's to avoid the mysterious people, they shouldn't treat their children like this. "But boy, I don't need to hire anyone, maybe you can go to the Leaky Cauldron and ask, old Tom has been complaining that there are too many customers, and he hates to close the shop, like a fly in his head." "But you should know that the bar is the entrance to Diagon Alley, and we won't allow him to close it." "Maybe he'll need a helper, and besides, your magic is strong, and you'll be able to meet his requirements." ”
"Thank you. Sure enough, asking more questions would find hope, and Robin immediately left Diagon Alley and entered the smoky Leaky Cauldron Bar. Voldemort was on his knees, and the wizards who had been suppressed for a long time needed to relax and be merry, and the bar became one of their few options.
That's why the owner of the bar complains that there are too many people, he doesn't like it, yes, he doesn't like the customers to be rich and rich.
Now old Tom is in the corner of the bar, and he doesn't care about the bar at all, and lets the wizards fetch their own drinks, anyway, he has connected the space of the warehouse to the bar, and the wizard's glass is empty, and he can go to the bar and knock it on the bar to fill it again.
The heat of the day couldn't make Tom smile, these old madmen who had been stabbed a thousand times, did they make their bar their home? This is my bar, Tom's head is going to explode.
At this time, Robin came, like an angel sister who was rescuing the suffering: "Excuse me, do you recruit waiters here?" Robin finally squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of the bar owner. (To be continued.) )
