Chapter 567: Wand Maintenance
"The core of my wand is the same as my sister's, grandma's hair. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gabrielle said, a little sad, "I have the impression that grandma is a very beautiful and kind person, who can tell a lot of interesting stories and cook a lot of delicious dishes. Five years ago, after my grandfather passed away, she also left to return to nature, leaving these two hairs as a memento. I haven't seen her since. ”
"Leave and go back to nature?!" Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you go find her?"
"We don't know where she is, she hides and refuses to see us. Gabrielle said, her eyes a little red.
"I'm sorry ......"
"It's okay, I'm used to it, she will let people bring us a message every year, as long as we know that grandma is living well, my sister and I are already satisfied!" said Gabrielle, with a lovely smile on her face, "Only if you are alive, you will always have a chance to meet in the future, right?!"
She stared blankly at Fleur's wand in Mr. Ollivanders' hand, remembering her grandmother.
Fleur and Gabrielle's grandmother did not die, and Meiwa is a very magical elf with a long lifespan.
They will become young and beautiful women, marry humans, form families, settle down, and have children.
When the man's life is over, they return to nature and never see their children again.
They live in forests, lakes, mountains, and clouds, and even if their descendants look for them, they will not come out easily.
Meiwa's hair is a rare core material, but it is undeniably very magical, with strong properties such as transfiguration, healing magic, rejuvenation, and fire spells.
"Yes, yes," said Mr. Ollivanders, "of course, I have never used a baby's hair. I think wands made of the baby's hair are too sensitive and willful, but everyone has their own hobbies, since it's right for you......"
Mr. Ollivander ran his wand through his fingers, apparently checking it for abrasions and bruises.
Then, in a low voice, he said, "Orchids are blooming!"
The next second, a bouquet of flowers bloomed on the wand's head.
"Very well, in good shape!" said Mr. Ollivander, as he gathered the flowers and handed them to Fleur with his wand, "Mr. Diggory, it's your turn. ”
Cedric's wand is a product made by Ollivanders, one-twelfth of an inch, made of oakwood.
This wand is bouncy and has a core of male unicorn tail hair.
"Yes, I remember it well. "Mr. Ollivander said that there was a hair plucked from the tail of a very beautiful male unicorn, five or six feet long, and I plucked the unicorn's tail hair, and it almost poked me in a hole with its horns, and this wand was so magical that only a good wizard could control him. ”
Mr. Ollivander was full of praise for Cedric's wand and nodded in satisfaction.
With a gentle wave, a string of silvery-white smoke rings emanated from the head of his wand that floated from one end of the room to the other.
After Cedric, there was Victor Krum.
His body does not seem to have recovered, and the damage caused to him by the last attack was great.
Crum drooped his round shoulders and walked listlessly towards Mr. Ollivanders.
He slipped his wand over and stood there with a frown, his hands in the pockets of his robe.
"Hmm!," said Mr. Ollivander, "if I'm not mistaken, this is Grigovich's product?!"
Krum nodded, and Hermione hurriedly scribbled it down on parchment.
"When the four of you weren't there, I had already finished interviewing Krum. Hermione whispered, shaking the dense parchment in her hand, full of information about Krum.
"He looks hard to touch!" said Colin, fearfully.
"I thought so before, but he just got your help. Hermione said.
Evan looked at Krum warily, if memory serves, this guy seems to like Hermione!
"Grigovich is a great wandmaker, although I don't really agree with his style, but ......"
Mr. Ollivander did not say that Grigovich was one of the two largest wandmakers in Europe, along with Ollivanders.
"Very good!" he said, raising his wand, turning it over in front of his eyes, examining it carefully.
"Hornbeam, with the dragon's heart chord, right?" he glanced at Krum, who nodded, and Mr. Ollivander continued, "much thicker than one would normally see, very stiff, ten and a quarter of an inch, flock of birds!"
The hornbeam wand thumped like a pistol.
A flock of small birds flapped their wings out of the wand head and into the faint sunlight through the open window.
"Good!" said Mr. Ollivanders, handing the wand back to Krum, "and the last one, Mr. Weasley." ”
Ron hurriedly stood up, a little nervous and looking clumsy.
He brushed shoulders with Krum and walked towards Mr. Ollivander and handed over his wand.
"It's my product again!" said Mr. Ollivanders, looking at the wand in his hand with a slight frown, "fourteen inches long, wicker wood, unicorn tail hair." Yes, as I remember, it was a female unicorn, very fast and only the purest of women could touch it, and although the length and magic of this tail hair were a little less than that of Mr. Diggory's, it had a strong positive trait. Only wizards with good hearts can use this wand, and it is one of its traits that spells that unleash dark magic and other negative effects create a natural resistance. ”
Mr. Ollivander didn't wait for Ron to answer, he just waved his wand.
"I have to say that you need to take regular care of him and use it carefully. Mr. Ollivander said, looking at the scar on the wand, "Remember, it's the wand that chooses to ignore the wizard, Mr. Weasley, if it goes on like this, you may need a new wand! ”
As he spoke, he squirted a puff of wine over his wand and handed it back to Ron.
"At this point, I have to mention it. As a wizard's most important companion, the importance of wands is undeniable! wand maintenance is a very practical subject, and I suggest that such a course should be offered in schools. Mr. Ollivander said, pale eyes looking at Dumbledore, Professor Karkaroff, and Lady Maxime, "This is what young wizards need to learn." ”
"Thank you for the advice, Garrick, the students really need professional advice in this area!" Dumbledore said, suddenly turning his head to look at Evan and them, "Mr. Mason, Miss Granger, Mr. Creevey, Miss Delacour, this is a rare opportunity, I suggest that Garrick take a look at the wands of the four of you to see how well they are maintained."
