Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wand Check
A small classroom with a long velvet covering the blackboard and five chairs behind a velvet desk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is where the wand checks are made.
When Holly, who had been notified, walked into the classroom, there weren't many people inside. Luther Bagmund sat in his chair, while Krum and Fleur were doing their own thing in the corner.
"Oh, looks like we've got all the players. Luther Bagmund stood up and said happily when he saw Holly come in.
"Done?" asked Holly, as she slowly paced up to Fleur's side, confused.
Fleur gestured to the side cupboard, which was in a corner, but it seemed to be wobbly slightly.
Holly was a little helpless after receiving Fleur's signal, and couldn't help but smile wryly and shake her head.
"All right, Mr. Luther Bagmun. Holly habitually starts with "Luther", but remembers that this is still a school. "What's the matter with calling us here? You know, we still need to do some preparation for our first project. ”
"Oh, nothing is just a wand inspection ritual. "We have to check to make sure your wand is in order." Know that they are important tools for your tasks. The Specialist was upstairs with Dumbledore. ”
"Oh, okay. Holly nodded, not saying anything.
By the time Dumbledore and Ollivander came downstairs, Harry Potter seemed to be hiding in the cupboard with someone he didn't know, and never came out.
Dumbledore only came down when he got the news that everyone had arrived, but when he came to the classroom, he didn't see Harry Potter, but the little girl who gave him a lot of headaches was looking at him with a playful face.
When Harry Potter and Rita Skeeter were pulled out of the cupboard by Dumbledore, it was obvious to Holly that Dumbledore was not at peace in his heart. It's no wonder that Harry Potter, who Dumbledore was so well protected, could be instigated to hide in a cupboard and be interviewed by an "unclean" woman, at least in Dumbledore's eyes.
Especially in this registration incident, Dumbledore could clearly feel that many things were not under his complete control. Severus Snape doesn't seem to be as focused on Harry Potter as he was in previous years, and of course, he doesn't pay as much attention to that little girl as he used to be.
Every time I thought of that little girl, Dumbledore had a headache. If nothing else, just the bunch of names she carries and the relationship she is secretly involved in make him a little jealous. It's not that if he can't kill the little girl with all his might, but that the little girl is too mysterious, even if he is Dumbledore, he can't imagine how Lily avoided James, Blake and so many other people back then, secretly sent that little girl out and arranged so many things behind, behind it, the inheritance of the traditional wizarding family for hundreds of years or even longer, made Dumbledore a little hesitant.
Shaking his head and throwing out the mess he had just thought about, Dumbledore and the other four went to the long table and sat down to watch as Ollivander examined everyone's wands.
Ollivander was an old wizard, and the wizards of England basically liked to go to him to buy wands. Even abroad, he is famous, but Ollivander's problem is that he does not accept customization, every wand is selected by others after he makes it, and he has always insisted that it is the wand that chooses the wizard, which makes it difficult for his business to have good results when expanding, but for him, a shop is enough for his life, and expansion is indeed not in his plan.
After examining Fleur and Krum's wands, Harry and Holly were the only ones left. Ollivander looked at the two men, as if thinking about something, and after some struggle, Harry was the first to be called out.
"Well, Mr. Potter, you'd better come first. I think this is in line with the order of age. Ollivander said to himself.
When Ollivander got his hands on Harry Potter's wand, he began to babble, "Ah, yes, I remember that day vividly. You were so tall when you came to my wand shop that day, and I remember that your wand took me a long time to find for you. Eleven inches long, holly wood, or phoenix tail feathers. Well, it's a wand with a story. Well, it's in good shape. At the end of the day, Ollivander spewed out a puff of wine with Harry's wand.
"The last one, then, ......," Ollivander said.
Without waiting for Ollivander to pronounce Holly's name and the large number of titles, Holly took a step forward and handed Ollivander his wand.
At first, Ollivander wanted to touch Holly's wand directly, but he didn't want to retract his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
After taking a piece of silk again and carefully wrapping the wand in it, Ollivanders picked up Holly's wand again, and after looking at it again and again, Ollivanders said slowly, "Well, I seem to remember this wand." Twelve inches, purple wood, well, the core of the staff, yes, a very special core, it was a full moon night, I was surprised to get this core, yes, the tail feathers of the unicorn, but very special, very special......"
"Alright, Mr. Ollivander, can you draw a conclusion to Miss Parker's wand. Luther Bagmund couldn't bear to hear the lullaby of Ollivanders.
"Well, okay. Well, Miss Parker, your wand, is perfect now, perfect beyond imagination. Ollivander said, pausing before adding, "I can feel that your wand has developed a special relationship with you, can't I? I can feel the repulsion it gave me when I wanted to touch it in the first place." Well, this wand will become more powerful as your strength increases. ”
"Uh......" Holly didn't know how to respond to Ollivanders' words, but judging from Ollivanders' performance, he didn't seem to care if Holly would respond to him.
At the end of the wand inspection, there is a group photo, but Rita Skeeter always wants to put Harry Potter in the center, and Madame Maxim's large body makes everyone look like they don't have the slightest presence no matter where they stand.
The final compromise resulted in Madame Maxim sitting in a large reinforced chair while others surrounded the perimeter. In the same way, photographers always like to take more pictures of Fleur, but Rita Skeeter always wants Harry Potter to stand in the forefront. After some tossing, everyone was finally able to leave.
When he sent Luther Bagmund and Barty Crouch away, Dumbledore found a visitor waiting for him in his office.
