Chapter 5: The Strange Wand

His surname is Granger, his profession is a dentist, and his daughter is a second-year student at Hogwarts......

Jon wasn't stupid enough to guess who his daughter was.

However, having decided to distance himself from the protagonist trio, Jon voluntarily gave up the opportunity to meet each other in advance.

Whether it's Miss Watsons or Miss Negro, what does it have to do with you, before you really control a certain amount of magic, let's hold on to it!

......

Leaving Eric and Dr. Granger, Jon stood in front of a low, dilapidated shop.

The gold sign on the door has been peeled off, and it reads: "Ollivanders: A Well-Made Wand since 382 BCE".

Walking into the store, there was not much space inside, Jon sat on the chaise longue in the middle of the store, and when he looked up, there were almost thousands of narrow cardboard boxes on the ceiling, clearly visible.

"Good afternoon. A soft voice said.

"Hello!" Jon quickly stood up and saw the thin old man who suddenly appeared behind him, "Are you Mr. Ollivander?"

"Yes, yes, I know I'll see you soon, Jon Hart, and that's not a problem. The thin old man said with a mysterious expression, "You look almost like your father's." He came here to buy his first wand, and it was like yesterday ......."

Ollivander was stunned.

Jon was stunned as well.

He said weakly, "Mr. Ollivanders, if I'm not mistaken, my father is not a wizard!"

"Uh...... Is it ......," Ollivander stammered, and he quickly pulled a piece of parchment from his robe, glanced at it, and quickly put it back.

At that moment, Jon squinted at the parchment, which appeared to have a list of names written on it, and what seemed to be the names of relatives and their wands written on the back......

"Seems like I read it wrong, oh no, I misremembered...... Ollivander coughed a little embarrassed, "Uh-huh, Mr. Hart, which hand are you good at?"

"Oh, I'm used to using my right hand. ”

Probably because of the embarrassing scene just now, Ollivander almost didn't say a word when he was measuring.

Didn't say anything like "wands choose wizards" or "I remember every wand sold".

"Mr. Hart, try this one, made of ebony and snake nerves, nine inches long. After a quick measurement, he pulled one out of the cardboard boxes on the ceiling and took out the wand inside.

Jon picked up the somewhat short wand, but nothing happened.

The chance of hitting a shot does not seem to be great.

"Maybe try this one, maple, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long. ”

......

About an hour later.

Jon felt his hands ach a little and he couldn't lift them up.

He tried the wand Ollivanders handed him at a rate of about ten seconds, and thousands of cartons piled up around him and Ollivander.

What's more, there seems to be little left of Shangcun's cardboard box on the ceiling.

"It's amazing and difficult to be such a picky customer......," Ollivander looked quite excited on his face.

"This one...... Made of ebony and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches long. Extraordinary combination!"

Ollivander excitedly handed over the wand, and Jon waved it, still unresponsive.

At this moment, Jon even thought that Professor McGonagall had made a mistake, that he was not a wizard at all...... Otherwise, how could I have chosen an hour and not found the right wand!

"It's harder than you think!" Ollivander seemed to be lost in thought, and suddenly it dawned on him: "Wait a moment, Mr. Hart!"

Then, all at once, he vanished.

Jon was able to sit back in his chair and relax his arms.

Three minutes later, Ollivanders reappeared, holding a dusty cardboard box in his hand.

"You can try this, Mr. Hart......" he cautiously opened the cardboard box and pulled out a strange-looking wand from it.

Jon took it, smooth and untouchable to the touch of any other wand, and on this hot day, there was a faint chill on it.

Before he could do so, he heard a thud, and then saw a red light, and the head of the wand was shining like fireworks, and the beating spots of light were cast on the four walls......

"Oh, great! great!" Ollivander almost exclaimed.

"Oh?" Jon's eyes lit up, could it be that his wand was like the protagonist's wand, with an extraordinary birth?

For example, a brotherly relationship with the wand of a powerful wizard?

A unicorn has two hairs, one made into Dumbledore's wand and one made into this one?

Forget it, Dumbledore is a dead, a little disgusting, Newt Scamander is good, and so is Nick Lemay......

Just when Jon was thinking about it, Ollivander sentenced his idea to death with one sentence:

"Actually, this wand is not my work!"

"Huh?" Jon's mouth widened.

"He came from a wandmaker from China, and Chinese wizards used to call wandmakers 'wandmakers'!"

"It was almost 20 years ago, when the Chinese cane maker fled from Hong Kong to London...... I met him and exchanged tips on how to make a staff for a while......"

"Fleeing from Hong Kong?" Jon suddenly noticed something.

"Yes, the Chinese wizarding world is in dire straits for more than twenty years, when the Chinese Muggles overthrew the wizards, and they snapped the wands of the wizards..."

"Moreover, Muggles forced wizards who did not have wands to go to their villages, using magic to help them make steel and even plow and harvest...... Only a handful of wizards escaped. Ollivander reminisced.

"And what happened later?" Jon asked quickly.

"More than a decade ago, the wizards of China regained control from the Muggles...... My wandmaker friend also went back, and before we left, we gave each other a wand. ”

Ollivander didn't seem to want to discuss the history of magic in China, but pulled out a strip of cloth from a cardboard box that was many years old.

"Found it...... Made of green bamboo, thirteen inches, with the hair of an iron-eating beast inside. Ollivander looked at the strip of cloth and read: "No wonder it's so smooth, it turns out to be made of green bamboo." ”

"Ironeater?" Jon felt the name familiar.

"A magical animal that lives in China, I think Newt Scamander should have written about it...... Somewhat bear-like, black and white, the Ironeater possesses a strong spell of charm that can easily seduce wizards and Muggles, especially women, to caress them and provide them with food......"

Ollivander said casually, "The hair of the Iron Eater is the essence of magic commonly used by Chinese wand makers to make magic wands, and they believe that the Iron Eater has a more powerful and pure magic than the unicorn, although I have reservations about it!"

He had already packed Jon's wand into a U-shaped box and wrapped it in brown paper.

"The price is eight Galleons, Mr. Hart. ”
