No.1 Holy Grail Ace (Upright)
Opalnay is really a sesame bag, so V can control you......
The legend has been modified.,There will probably be some situations mentioned in the text in the future.,But that's a digression.,Don't worry too much.。
By the way, in the history of Harry Potter, 1550-1620 AD is the time when St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded, if you compare the "escapism" I mentioned earlier and the year of Opal's enrollment in 1991...... Well, brain supplements are actually a pretty good thing, aren't they?
=====================================
Ace of the Grail (upright): Adequate preparation.
、
Forbidden Forest: Centaur Station
、
Although Opal had imagined who would pick her up from school, she never imagined that it would be such an unusual being who would be her guide.
A man of her current height, who must have been called a "giant", was standing on the edge of the reception shed on the outskirts of the centaur station, seemingly happily feeding the little squirrels who had come over out of curiosity with the crumbs of a kind of bread, and then seemed to be looking around for a replacement plant because the feed had run out.
His face was almost completely obscured by his long, tousled hair and clumped beard, but two jet-black eyes glowing like beetles were clearly visible from under them.
[Jumbo ...... Half-giant? ]
Tilting his head, Opal's voice revealed a bit of surprise, [I thought the giants didn't care enough for humans to have hybrids...... Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you. ]
"Hehe, it's okay, I don't care? It's Her Royal Highness Princess Opal, the princess of nature......"
The half-giant, dressed in a gray-yellow moleskin cape, rubbed his hand as he was grabbing a plant dug up from the ground to feed the birds that flew in, and then reached over, speaking in a strong local accent, "I am the one who has come to greet you—Rubeus Hagrid." Of course, you can also call me Hagrid. ”
But he stopped halfway through his hand, because it was still dirty.
[Opal Unicol Snape.] ]
Compared with Hagrid's embarrassment, Opal didn't have so many scruples, generously stretched out his hand to shake him, and the other free hand was raised to tease the bird that had stopped on her shoulder at the moment, and there was no unnatural attitude in his expression, [I heard my friend mention your name, but I didn't expect the first meeting to be here. ]
"Your friend?"
Although Dumbledore had heard him mention the peculiarity of the child who had come to greet him, it was clear that Hagrid didn't have much of an idea at that time - that's why he made such a big joke when they first met.
But at the moment, Hagrid felt a little overwhelmed, he did feel Opal's difference, but he wanted to withdraw his hand but didn't know what to do so as not to be too rude - and the result of his thinking was that Opal was sure that he could swear by the name of "Gurjon", and she saw that the face hidden under the hair and mustache was a little red.
[Well, my friend.] ]
Opal didn't mind letting go of his hand and shrugged his shoulders.
Anyway, she hadn't touched anything dirtier than this - the magical creatures in the forest weren't ordinary dirty when she needed help cleaning up at the turn of the seasons......
"Ah...... Ahem, well, I'm here to buy you the necessary supplies for school. ”
As soon as Opal let go of his hand, he immediately retracted his hand and scratched his hair as if he had been burned by fire, and Hagrid laughed and found the topic.
[Well, I've heard Charon mention it.] ]
Nodding, Opal looked sideways at Charon, who was already walking towards her, [But Charon, according to him, is the school paying for the books and materials for new Hogwarts students?] ]
"If that were the case, Hogwarts would have declared bankruptcy a long time ago."
Charon smiled and stood beside Opal, "Hagrid is just a guide. However, the cost of Opal's purchase of items is paid for by us centaurs. ”
[uh...... Won't it bother you? ]
Opal tilted his head slightly, with a hint of embarrassed shyness, [Judging from the list, the cost should not be less, right?] ]
"This is what we should do for you, Your Highness the Princess."
It seems that the Qi people are really very suitable for raising children, although it feels very proud, but their princess is really well educated - but this is also because of the princess's own excellent relationship.
[Anyway, it's still causing you a lot of trouble...... Thank you. ]
Raising his hand and hugging Charon in front of him, Opal showed a big sweet smile as usual, and instantly killed Charon, who wanted to say something more, and Fei Leng Cui and Ronan who followed him.
“……”
Hagrid, who was completely ignored, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the pink three horses and one person not far away, and finally thrust in at the prompt of the pocket watch in his pocket, "That...... It's school day in a week, so be sure to buy everything today. Now, can I go? ”
Then, it was not surprising that he was thrown a sharp eye knife by Fei Lengcui and Ronan.
[Okay, I know.] Then I'm sorry for you, Mr. Hagrid. ]
After nodding obediently, Opal hugged Charon who was smiling at her, and Emerald and Ronan, who had reluctance on their faces, before following Hagrid away.
Their destination, outside the Forbidden Forest, belonged to the fireplace of Hagrid's hut.
================I'm the dividing line ================ the switch scene
Diagon Alley, United Kingdom
、
After coming out of the fireplace with a puff of ash, Opal coughed quietly as he dusted himself off.
God, it was the first time she knew that it was so uncomfortable to transfer through Floo Net (Wizarding.work), and just one attempt made Opal determined that she would definitely carry the "portkey" with her in the future, and she should seize the time to practice mastering the "shapeshift".
In the future, she said that she would not choose to use Floo powder, this kind of sin is enough to suffer once!
Compared to the dizziness caused by being hit in the Floo Net, it was really the feeling of the Migration Phantom walking through the shadows of space that was a little more comfortable. Although the beginning and end are a little uncomfortable, but because there is ...... At......
Hey?
His thoughts flickered slightly.
Because there are ...... What's in?
Confusion flashed through Opal's eyes, causing a small ripple before being automatically cleared by the spell's effect again.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it, it's not an important thing...... Probably......
"Sorry, sorry, my fireplace over there hasn't been used for years, so maybe there's a bit of ash."
Hagrid looked at the girl who seemed to be coughing up tears, and scratched her head with an apologetic expression.
[It's okay...... Just let me cough for a while. ]
Waving his hand to signal that it didn't matter, Opal looked outside after making sure that the dust on his body was almost photographed, [This is our destination?] ]
It looks a little familiar.
"That's right, this is Diagon Alley, which specializes in wizarding supplies. Personally, I'd rather take you to buy something else, but Dumbledore kept telling me that I wanted me to take you to buy your wand first......"
After taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, Hagrid wanted to take Opal's hand, but because he found that his hands were full of ashes, and the girl's natural movement of raising her hand to arrange her hair, he could only take the lead in the front of the aisle, "Follow me." ”
[Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Hagrid.] ]
Opal just smiled at this, and the note followed.
Peeling gold letters read "Ollivander" in front of the dilapidated door, and the people who lived inside had been fine cane makers since 382 B.C., and in the dusty shop window, there was only one cane on a faded purple mat – and that was their destination.
Hagrid told her that she needed to go in on her own, and he helped her buy something else before leaving, and Opal nodded nonchalantly - because she didn't sense any malice around her.
Pushing open the door, a crisp bell rang out of nowhere.
It was a tiny place, with nothing but a chair, hundreds of tiny boxes almost piled up to the ceiling.
"Hello."
Just as Opal looked around curiously, a soft voice rang out, "I hope I didn't scare you." ”
[Ah, no.] ]
Tilting his head, Opal looked curiously at the person standing in front of him, and curtsy, [Did you buy the wand here?] ]
"Yes, to be exact, to provide for both of you. Because when you pick a wand, the wand picks you. ”
Ollivanders smiled and pulled out a long ruler with silver markings from his pocket, "So, which one is your dominant hand?" ”
Handedness?
Opal raised his right hand: [This one.] ]
Then she looked at her hand with a hint of confusion - she was obviously left-handed...... Why?
"Stretch out your arms, like this."
Then Ollivander measured from her shoulders to the tips of her fingers, from her wrists to her elbows, from her shoulders to the ground, from her knees to her armpits, and her entire head, before finally letting go of her hand and walking to the full shelf, "Don't move." ”
[I guess it's not necessary, right?] ]
Raising his hand and pinching the tape measure that he writhed on her, Opal smiled, [because Mr. Hagrid will be over in a while, and if Mr. Hagrid is bored, I can chat with you here.] It's going to be a hassle to restore the storefront, right? ]
Subtext, your little action of repeatedly changing your wand to see jokes can be saved.
Ollivander paused for a moment before he shoved the wand back into the shelf: "How do you know ......?"
Raising his hand, Opal gestured to the potted plant hanging next to the chair without any guilt: [It told me.] ]
"I see."
After carefully examining Opal for a long time, Ollivander exhaled lightly, and then pulled out an old box from the other side of the shelf, "Since you are the son of Gaia, who has been favored by nature, then this should be the best wand for you." ”
With that, he handed the box to Opal and motioned for her to open it.
"Thirteen and a half inches, the flexible willow wood with the heartstrings of the unicorn king is noble and elegant, but natural. Isn't it? ”
Taking out the wand with a beautiful sheen from the box, Opal subconsciously shook his hand, and a soft silver-white light erupted from the tip of the wand, outlining a running unicorn in the air, and disappeared into the air with a clear hiss.
The sign of "fit".
Looking at the wand in his hand in a daze, Opal's expression was a little dazed.
Like, once ...... Experienced a similar scenario.
But where, with whom, and when, I can't remember.
"Aha, that's funny......"
Ollivander, who had been watching everything in front of him, sighed lightly, "I thought that there would be a lot of coincidences like that once, but I didn't expect it...... This world is indeed full of reincarnation cause and effect. ”
[Is there anything wrong?] ]
Coming to her senses at Ollivander's words, Opal turned her head to look at him, but her wand had already been put away.
"It's a very distant story."
As if caught in a memory, Ollivander sighed, "The heartstrings in the wand came from a unicorn king who was raised by a phoenix, but the unicorn king and the phoenix died nearly five hundred years ago, four hundred and fifty years ago, to be exact, to protect the son of Gaia, and then the lineage of the son of Gaia was also severed. But...... There's no denying that it's a legend. The unicorn king's heartstrings become the backbone of this wand, and then choose you. And the two wands with the two tail feathers of the phoenix as the main core also have their own owners. One was many years ago, and the other was just over twenty days ago. ”
But in fact, the willow tree is not the only one.
Ollivander remembered the wand he had sold more than twenty years ago—the same branch as the willow in front of him, the heartstrings of the black dragon, eleven inches—and its owner was a Hogwarts Potions professor.
I don't know if these are just a coincidence, or if they have some special significance.
[Was this all 500 years ago?] What's going on with that "Son of Gaia"? ]
It is undeniable that Opal is a little curious about his "ex".
"I don't know."
In this regard, Ollivander only smiled ambiguously, "The original truth has long disappeared from the long river of history, leaving only legends and some traces of remains...... Perhaps, a couple of wands. That's all, isn't it? ”
[This statement of yours is very appetizing......]
With his mouth puffed out, Opal's expression was slightly disgruntled, but it looked quite cute.
"Not everything needs to be revealed."
With that, Ollivanders turned his gaze to the outside of the store, then shrugged his shoulders, "Sure enough, the time spent with people is always short, so I'm going to say goodbye." ”
[So...... Can I still come to you? ]
Almost immediately, Opal blurted out something that stunned Ollivanders, and then smiled, "Is it for the story behind those wands?" ”
[There are some ......]
Not hiding his purpose, Opal nodded frankly, but his fingers gently stroked the potted plant on the table, [though I also want to see this child.] What's more, individuals here, even if they have a wand to communicate, will feel lonely, right? ]
But the main reason is that she is a little reluctant to be able to saga this plant baby who has just developed self-awareness.
“…… Should it be said that it is indeed worthy of being the darling of nature? This kindness is in the same vein......"
With a look of nostalgia, Ollivander raised his hand, brushed away Opal's hair that was hanging down because of his bowed head, and showed a faint smile, "As long as it ...... You remember me as an old man and don't think it's boring to talk to me. ”
[Then it's decided.] ]
After receiving an affirmative answer, Opal politely exited the wand shop, which was full of the vicissitudes of time.
"Opal, have you already chosen your wand?"
[Yes.] Mr. Ollivander is a very interesting person. ]
Turning to Hagrid, who was walking towards her with a large pile of things, Opal smiled as usual, "Is Mr. Hagrid's business done?] ]
"Yes, but I don't need to be called 'sir', it sounds weird."
Holding something in one hand and scratching his head in the other, Hagrid smiled, "Even though your home is next to the school, you still need an owl for communication." In addition, you will also have to get to know the several stores that you will come into contact with frequently, after all, next time you will come and buy things by yourself. ”
[Okay.] ]
Nodding obediently, Opal followed Hagrid towards his next destination—after all, there was still a lot to buy!
