Chapter 4: Wands
Andy walked out of the pet store and saw the rolling flow of people, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to live in such a world. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Victor used magic to float a tightly concealed rattan basket with a basket that had only been bought for a few months.
"Victor, you go home with this mysterious creature first, and tell your mother to arrange it, I like it very much. I'll take the bus back later," Xie An ordered.
"But young master, Madame told me to follow the young master to take care of the young master. Victor said embarrassed.
"There are so many people now that it's too inconvenient to carry such a basket. And it's too small and needs a quiet place. Besides, you can go back and apparition. ”
"Okay, young master, don't go to those dangerous places. Victor didn't know if the young creature could withstand the discomfort of the apparition, so he had to go back in another way.
Although it took some time to arrange the rolling, the Countess was keenly aware of the joy that this magical artifact would bring to her son. And the rolling rolls that make a living by selling cuteness are so cute...
After Shayne and Victor separated, they stayed outside the pet store for a while, and Hermione and Luna also squeezed out of the pet store. Hermione's father, who was extremely excited, reluctantly looked back at the magical creatures in the store at this time, and accidentally bumped Xie An into Xie An, who was in a daze.
Xie An was knocked to a stumbling side, but fortunately, he practiced diligently during this time, and the magic power was already able to be used inseparatively, and a gust of wind blew, and Xie An was already standing firmly on the stairs.
Hermione's father hurriedly apologized, Hermione had already recognized this as the boy just now, and said a little nervously, "Are you okay?" ”
Xie An, who was in the aura of positive energy of the panda, waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he was fine.
"Are you that genius kid of the Lee family? Hello, I'm Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of Singing Contradiction. Although Xie An had no impression of this handsome middle-aged man with golden hair, his long-term study of aristocratic etiquette allowed Xie An to calmly respond to Mr. Lovegood's greetings.
Mr. Lovegood warmly introduced Hermione's family and his daughter, and invited Xie Ann to walk around Diagon Alley together, after all, they were all first-year freshmen, and it would be good to get to know each other. Xie An has no impression of what kind of magazine this "Singing and Contradictory" is, but Xie An still knows the position of editor-in-chief, and it is okay at this time, and it is not bad to meet new classmates occasionally.
Luna's mother has died, and this little girl has been lonely since she was a child, but fortunately she has a father who loves her. But the editor-in-chief of a non-mainstream magazine like "Singing Contradictory" also has a relatively unsociable personality. has lived in isolation for a long time, but Luna has developed the character of a forest girl.
Everyone followed the flow of people and finally arrived at the wand shop, it was already noon at this time, and there were not many people in the store. Only a few adults were watching from the window.
In the dusty window, wands were lonely on faded purple cushions, and when they entered the store, a whole jingling bell could be heard somewhere behind the store.
Xie An remembered that today's main task was to buy a magic wand, so he took a serious look at this ancient shop. There was a crack in the wooden shelf where the wands were displayed, and an old man was sorting through the mess of wands.
Mr. Lovegood explained his intention to the clerk, and the old man came down from the ladder, looked at the three boys and girls, and then said kindly, "Oh, the new students at Hogwarts! But I'm glad to see you. Don't stand stupidly, come and stretch out your usual hands, and I'll see. ”
After being seen by this old man for a long time, Xie An once thought that this person was a fortune teller, and the three of them were tossed like marionettes for a long time, and then each of them was given a magic wand. Xie An wanted to speak several times, but was glared back by the old man.
The old man quickly picked out a wand for Hermione, and a brilliant spark erupted from the wand, and Luna's wand directly burst into a ball of light. The old man pretended to be a ghost for a long time, and then returned to Xie An with a frown.
"Boy, you're a new Hogwarts student too?"
Xie An nodded with a sneer.
"A picky little customer, look at your appearance, you have a good grasp of magic, can you cast spells without a fight? The old man asked.
Xie An waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew through hermione's t-shirt, which was squeezed into some wrinkles and dirty.
Everyone watched in amazement as the little wizard cast the spell lightly, Lovegood and the old man were in shock, and Hermione's family was at a loss. Even a few adult magicians by the window looked over.
"A genius! a real genius. Did you know boy, when wizards were not yet independent from Muggles, many wizards didn't know the importance of wands..."
The old man was about to make a tirade. Xie An had already said coldly: "The amplification effect of the wand is necessary for wizards, there are many wizards who can cast spells without a fight, why don't you have a wand suitable for me here?"
"No, no, as the oldest wand-maker, I've got to have one for you, but, you know, it's the wand that chooses the magician..."
"You mean I'm not worthy of these wands of yours, or do you suspect that I'm a Squib?" Xie An sneered.
"Of course not, I'm just saying that maybe you need to be more explicit about yourself, perhaps, maybe these wands haven't felt the nature of your magic yet. The old man hurriedly explained.
Xie An closed his eyes and slightly sensed these wands, wands of different materials do have different characteristics, but these wands are far from being intelligent or have their own consciousness. This old man has been talking nonsense for a long time, but he just can't determine my magic attributes.
It's a pity that Xie An himself can't determine his magic attributes, this magic combined with the power of the end is full of attack violence and at the same time concealed in the peace of despair, fusing the vibrant magic of this world that has not yet perceived the end of the world, forming an unprecedented attribute.
After perceiving it carefully, Xie An chose two magic wands, and the two magic wands slowly flew from the corner and fell into Xie An's hand.
"Hmph, these two wands are barely qualified. Let's just need these two. ”
"An ordinary wand made of ordinary poplar wood and common snake nerves, and the other is a powerful wand made of Fuso wood from the East and the feathers of a fire phoenix. This..."
"Ollivander shopkeeper, can't I buy two wands at the same time?" Xie An asked calmly.
"No, of course, it's just..."
Xie An, who held a grudge, sneered: "Are you afraid that I can't afford to pay for the two wands?"
"No, no, of course you can buy two wands, many professionals sometimes need to use different wands when they are engaged in professional research, but I still have to warn you..."
"That's fine. Xie An didn't want to listen to the old man's ramblings, and gently waved the poplar staff, and a brilliant aura erupted from the wand.
Seeing that everyone had chosen their wands, Mr. Lovegood hurriedly said, "Let's go, Andrew, there are other things to buy, now pay for it first, and then walk around, the new strawberry cream from the Florin ice cream parlor tastes very good, you must like it, haha, maybe you can also try the flying broom? Quidditch matches are played every year at Hogwarts." ”
Everyone checks out their own bills, Hermione and Luna's wands are more individual, so the price is not low, Xie An's Fusang wood staff is the most expensive imported material, and the relative poplar staff is too ordinary, but it gives a good discount, like an addition to the Fusang wood staff.
When everyone walked out of the wand shop, Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Andrew, why did you buy two staffs, isn't one enough?"
"The two staves have their own characteristics and can be used in different environments. Xie An replied simply.
"Is there a different environment for the use of staffs?" Luna asked curiously.
"Of course, for example, when casting a spell about healing, the staff of the snake nerve has a good increase, and when casting a spell about illusions or spirits, the wand made by the Shadow Branch is a good choice. Lovegoodsian explained to his daughter.
"You also need a special staff when you use Occlumency. Xie Anxin said silently. Nightmares, sealed nightmares, sleeping nightmares.
A few people walked and walked, and in the middle, a curious Hermione bought a wand set for each of the three at the flea market on the side of the road. Xie An easily inserted two wands into his wand cover, which was too uncomfortable to insert in the back of his pants.
Most wizards pin their wands in their sleeves, Xie An is not used to sticking a stick in his sleeve, not to mention that these wands are easy to break depending on the material, what if they are accidentally broken.
This wand set can get the wand into the wizard's hand as quickly as possible, and it also comes with a summoning charm that can be used in case the wand is taken off, reminding Xie An of something like a scabbard.
After leaving each other's contact information with Hermione Luna, they ate and drank together for an afternoon before the three of them separated.
