Chapter 053: Forbidden Spells

"Mr. Ollivanders, are you there?"

"Catherine! Merry Christmas! Ollivander stuck his gray head out from the back of the shop, "I thought you were here after the holiday!" ”

"Merry Christmas! Mr. Ollivander! I think it's better to come early, so as not to be like last time. ”

"It's hard to say!" Ollivander smiled and walked out with a wand, "Here, give it a try, it's my new work." ”

Catherine picked one up casually, and with a flick of it, like last time, a bottle broke.

"Yes, there is a response, but it's not the best for you, try again." Ollivander said happily.

Catherine was also happy when she saw the first one, and waved them one after another, and the store was immediately chaotic like a typhoon passing through.

"No, or not!" When Catherine tried all the new wands, Ollivander shook her head, "The reaction is there, but it's not the one that suits you best." ”

Ollivander suddenly grabbed Catherine's right hand and used his slender fingers to very gently caress the longest scar left by the wand's explosion.

"Well, that's what happened!" Ollivander suddenly turned around and pulled out a box from the shelf next to him, opened it and handed it to Catherine, "Try it!" ”

"Didn't you try it last time?" Catherine said, but she picked it up and waved it anyway.

A soft glow emerged from the tip of the staff, illuminating the entire hall.

"This ...... What's going on? Catherine asked in surprise, "Didn't you obviously not react last time?" ”

"Yes," Ollivander nodded, "If my estimate is correct, someone must have cast a 'forbidden spell' on your body. ”

"Forbidden spells?" Catherine looked puzzled.

"It's a powerful protective magic, it's like a solid wall that prevents the magic from passing through guò. It was once cast on shields, but since it also blocked your own counterattack while blocking other people's attacks, it is now commonly cast on objects with strong magic fluctuations to block detection and destruction. But this is the first time I've seen a forbidden spell cast on a human body, and it blocks your magic, so the last time you came, you could barely get your wand to react. ”

"And how can I ...... now," Catherine asked, but then understood, "the wand explodes!" ”

"Yes, the 'Forbidden Spell' is powerful, but it can't completely stop the wand from exploding." Ollivander suddenly stopped and looked at Catherine carefully, "Seriously, you're lucky. ”

Why? Professor McGonagall said the same to me. Catherine was surprised, and yesterday Snape's sudden anger and Professor Flitwick's shocked look surprised even more, but she didn't find an opportunity to ask.

"There are two kinds of wand explosions, one is the explosion caused by the wand that was originally damaged by Yan zhòng, which is still in use, which is an ordinary accident and will only make people injured, and the strictest zhòng is just a magic backlash.

The other is the explosion caused by the intact wand because it cannot withstand the huge magic power, which is the real wand explosion. There have been only five recorded explosions of this wand, but none of them survived, and with the wand explosion point as the center of the sphere, everything within six feet in diameter was wiped out. ”

Catherine felt as if she had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold was rising from the soles of her feet.

"You and the people around you survive the wand explosion are only because of the existence of the forbidden spell, which senses the strangeness of the magic and imprisons the power of the explosion in your right hand, which is the longest scar. Of course, it didn't come without a price, and at the location of this scar, a crack was blasted out of the forbidden spell on your body. ”

"So," Catherine felt her body temperature finally recover, "I was able to get my wand to react." ”

"Yes," Ollivander nodded, "but then you'll need to pick your wand again." ”

"Do you need to try all the wands like you did last time?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, and, this time, you must make all the wands touch the scars on your hands, so that your magic can be transmitted to the wand."

"Isn't that longer than the last time?" Catherine asked in a trembling voice.

"I'm afraid so."

"Mr. Ollivanders," Catherine sucked in sharply, suppressing the irritability in her heart, "is there no other way?" ”

"There is another method, it just requires mana above the seventh order, but you have the 'forbidden spell' on you......"

"What to do?" Catherine interrupted him.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Ollivander had no choice but to tell her the method.

Catherine first transformed Tracey into a phantom shape, then closed her eyes and stretched out her right hand to unleash her magic, and then she heard a series of soft sounds of "crackling" and Ollivanders shouting all around her.

"Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Ollivanders shouted angrily, "Catherine! Hurry up and stop! ”

Catherine opened her eyes to see Ollivander pounce on his wand shelf, quickly pulling out the wand box on it, taking one out and throwing one.

"What's wrong!" Catherine asked cautiously.

"What's the matter, Miss Catherine!" Ollivander looked distressed, "Even if you can't find a wand that suits you, you don't have to blow it up!" ”

"I didn't!" Catherine said aggrieved.

"You don't!" Ollivander took a wand box and threw it directly in front of her, "Look for yourself, these wands are all cracked, don't you think you're going to blow up this place!" ”

"I knew it was going to be like this, and you said you were going to unleash all your magic." Catherine pouted.

"Miss Catherine, not all magic requires full effort, don't you know that magic also needs to be controlled?"

Catherine suddenly realized, and then she realized what she was wrong.

"I'm also at fault, though." Ollivander looked regretful, "I didn't even forget that your magic power is close to the seventh order, and these wands for new students can't bear it at all." ”

"So what kind of wand should I use?"

"I don't know yet, but the forbidden spell on your body is blocking a qiē detection magic, and I need to use some ancient methods to test you before I can decide."

"How long will it take?" Ollivanders' eyes made Catherine feel like a guinea pig.

"It depends on the situation."

"Then please wait a minute, I'll go and do some things and come back later."

Ollivander nodded, and Catherine ran out at once, and she first booked a room at the Leaky Cauldron, and then wrote a letter to Snape, telling her that she would not be able to go back until at least tomorrow, and that after Tracey had taken the letter with her, she returned to Ollivander and began to be examined, and it was not until midnight that he agreed to let her go.

Early the next morning, Catherine was woken up by a knock on the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw an excited Ollivanders.

"Catherine, I've been busy all night, and I found ......" Ollivander could finish his sentence when Catherine interrupted her.

"You just tell me what the result is." Catherine said weakly.

"No results."

"What do you mean?" Catherine's surprise gave her face a little more energy.

"You know you're a 'forbidden spell,' it's ......," Ollivander was interrupted again by Catherine.

"All you have to do is tell me what to do."

"There are two methods, either you go back and train your control power, and wait until the control power is up to the standard before you choose the wand, or you still try one by one like before."

"I'll choose the second option."

With that, Catherine closed the door, and five minutes later, she reappeared in the doorway, in good spirits.

Once at the wand shop, Catherine transforms Tracey into a phantom and then randomly picks up a wand and waves it.

A clear spring rose from the tip of the rod and poured Ollivander on his body.

"This one is good, I'll choose this one." Catherine said, but Ollivander insisted she tried it all again.

Three hours later, the wand shop was once again in the run, and Ollivander had finally chosen the one that was best for Catherine at the moment, the one she had picked up in the first place.

"I've said I'm going to pick this one." Catherine muttered discontentedly.

As soon as Ollivander heard her complaint, he immediately asked her to stay and clean the wand shop, otherwise all the wands she had broken in the first place would be counted on this wand, which Catherine had no choice but to do.

Thankfully, with the help of magic, the two of them were able to sort things out in a few moments, but it was a bit of trouble to find the broken wands, but it only took an extra hour.

After helping Ollivanders clean up, Catherine immediately rushed to Gringotts to exchange huàn magic coins.

The goblin is very enthusiastic about big customers like Catherine, the service is very thoughtful, and Gringotts' business level is also advancing with the times, walking in the forefront of the trend, although there is no banknote, but the check book is appearing, but the appearance is a little strange, parchment and magic array, but the safety is certain, but in view of the first time I came to the wizarding world, I encountered a robbery at Gringotts, Catherine just deposited Mrs. Apet's arrears into the house.

After coming out of Gringotts, Catherine went to the magical creature shop, and Mrs. Apett was very satisfied with her attitude of paying off the mantissa at one time, and specially left her to have lunch with her.

"You know what?" After tasting Catherine's handiwork, Mrs. Apace said, "One thing Tracy has in common is that they are all good cooks. ”

"Really?" Catherine found it incredulous.

"Of course," said Mrs. Apace, geeving her head in embarrassment, "but I wouldn't have been sure if I hadn't looked at the family records." ”

"Is Madame's family very old?" Catherine asked casually.

"Sort of," Mrs. Apace shrugged, "My family has an instinct for magical creatures, and it allows us to better understand them, so our family has been running a magical zoo. ”

"But there aren't many magical creatures in the store!" Catherine remembered the few creatures in the shop.
