One thing Neville overlooked was that it cost money to buy medicine at the hospital, so he made himself pauper when he visited his parents at St. Mungo's Hospital on Christmas Day.

Neville, who was bankrupt, found himself getting farther and farther away from Halo 2001, and at the same time he wondered if the money could be reimbursed by the school, so he specifically asked for an invoice.

It's just that he didn't know why he didn't have ten Galleons for less than the money, and the old man invoiced him double the amount, and gave him a smile that said "Don't thank me, please call me Shapu Sandel".

However, these bottles of powerful restorative fΓΉ have finally completed one thing, and then another:

Buy a wand.

A few days after Christmas, Neville came to Diagon Alley alone, and although it was still snowing heavily, Diagon Alley still had a lot of traffic, and most of them were traveling together as a family.

The Ollivanders Wand Shop was still open, but it was obviously not as good as it had been in the two months before school started, so when Neville walked into the Wand Shop, the owner, Ollivanders, was sorting through the groceries.

The wand shop was a mess, with all kinds of wood, feathers, animal horns and other materials everywhere, and Ollivander himself had a hill of wand boxes in front of him, and he took out his wand from it, inspected it, wiped it down, repackaged it, and finally put it in the open space on the other side.

By the time Neville entered, he had already stopped what he was doing, the old man had a good memory, and could even vividly recall every wand he had sold here and the corresponding buyers.

"Good morning. Ollivander said, his large, light-colored eyes like two shining moons in the dim shop, and he cleaned the things on the table a little, "It's a bit messy here, but not every day." ”

"The ......" hesitated, but Neville chose to get straight to the point, "I'm here to buy a wand." ”

Looking Neville up and down, Ollivander asked, "What grade are you in?"

"Second grade. ”

"But you look like you're in fourth grade. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ollivander smiled, stood up and walked over to Neville, "What's your name?"

"Neville Longbottom. ”

Ollivander raised an eyebrow and asked, "Frank Longbottom is your father?"

"Hmm. ”

"So......" Ollivander looked at Neville with a much gentler look in his eyes, and he took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket, "Mr. Longbottom, which arm do you use to use your wand?"

"Right hand. ”

"Put your arms up, yes, that's it. ”

Ollivander began to measure Neville, first from the shoulders to the fingertips, then from the wrists to the elbows, shoulders to the floor, from the knees to the armpits, and finally to the circumference.

"You should have used your father's wand, but with all due respect, this is not the right thing to do, because everyone is unique, and so is every Ollivanders wand. ”

Neville nodded, he already knew a lot about wands from Professor Flitwick.

The measurement continued, and Ollivander walked over to the shelf and began to select his wand, and the tape measure worked automatically, measuring the distance between the eyes, the width of the mouth, and even the distance between the nostrils, from the circumference of the head.

What's the use of testing this thing?

It didn't take long for Ollivander to come back with five wand boxes, he picked one at random, handed it to Neville, and said, "Then try this one first, made of larch and unicorn feathers, eleven inches long, very tough, you can wave it." ”

Taking the wand, Neville waved it carefully, and nothing happened, but Ollivanders took the wand and replaced Neville with a new one.

"Pear wood and dragon's heart tendon, fourteen inches, it's grumpy, be careful. ”

The fourteen-inch-long wand was like a short sword, and Neville swung it more carefully, or shook it, but nothing happened.

Having never bought a wand before, Neville was a little nervous, wondering if he had done something wrong.

Ollivander took the wand, there were still three on the table to try, and after glancing at the remaining three wands, he turned to Neville and asked a few questions.

"Where did the original wand go wrong?"

"What do you want to do with this wand?"

"Do you have any additional requirements for a wand?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Neville answered honestly, and Ollivander listened and thought carefully, and in the end he didn't look at the remaining three wands, but walked to the shelves and searched for a while, and then returned with a wand box.

"This one should do what you want, the feathers of the English oak and the unicorn, twelve inches, are inelastic because it's so thick. ”

Taking the wand, the corners of Neville's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, the length of twelve inches was normal, but the diameter of this wand was ...... Boss, are you sure you didn't bring the rolling pin?

As a rough estimate, the wand was about an inch thick, and most wands were less than a third of an inch in diameter, and with a length of twelve inches, it was simply a crude piece of polished and lacquered work.

Not convinced that it was a wand, Neville whispered a spell, and Ollivander did not stop it, but waited quietly.

"Fluorescent flickering. ”

A pillar of light as thick as the shaft of a staff shot straight into the wall, and unlike the previous spells, the light of this flash spell did not fan out, but condensed into a single pillar of light, as if Neville was holding a flashlight with a strong light in his hand.

Of course, it's pretty cool, and if you decorate the wand, it's exactly like the lightsaber in Star Wars, except that it's longer.

Neville didn't know if it was appropriate or not, but he heard Ollivander say, "Oh, that's great. ”

Neville breathed a sigh of relief at this remark, and it seemed that there was no problem, but Ollivander continued: "...... This wand is finally ready to sell, it's what my grandfather had in stock back then, thank goodness ......"

Staring at the stick in his hand, Neville wondered if Ollivander was planning to use him to dispose of unsellable inventory.

However, Ollivanders' vision and character were not in doubt, so Neville honestly paid for it and went home with the wand that couldn't fit in his pocket.

Predictably, when Neville returned to school and pulled out the black, thick and hard, his friends would be stunned.

==============

The following is not the main text, but this is a few of the more suitable wand materials I have considered, and finally chose the oak tree for the fascinated rumors.

English Oak: A wand for a variety of good or bad situations, an oak wand requires strength, courage and responsibility, and the owner is often intuitive and has an affinity for natural magic, animals and plants. Between the winter and summer solstices, oaks are known as the king of the forest, (holly replaces oaks as king of the forest after the summer solstice).

Superstitious rumor: "If an oak wand owner meets a holly wand master, their union will be foolish"

Merlin's wand is said to have been of English oak (although his grave has not been found, so it is impossible to prove).

Demonics: Durability, Victory, Strength, Authority, Prosperity, Sacrifice, Guardian and Liberator

Larch: Strong, durable, and with a warm colour, larch wood has long been considered a very valuable and attractive wand material. They have a reputation for instilling courage and confidence in their holders, so they are always in short supply. This very popular wand is actually difficult to find the ideal owner, and it is very difficult for people to master. I've found that larch wands often use hidden special abilities that often describe their owners. In fact, the owners of larch wands may never have fully demonstrated their talents until they possessed them, after which wands and their owners developed an extraordinary understanding.

Demonic Nature: Strong, alive and immortal, rejuvenated

Pear Tree: This wand made of wood the color of gold has the magical power of contact, and this power is used to the fullest when they encounter a warm-hearted, generous, and wise master. In my experience, the owner of the pear wand is always popular and respected, and I have never heard of a single pear wand found to belong to a dark wizard.

Demonic nature: holiness, devotion, material gains, natural revenge, resistance to negative magic.
