Chapter 18: Anne's Wand

After being persuaded by William, Hermione decided to contact the Hogwarts elves first to change their minds.

There was also no shortage of letters of advice to Dumbledore, which helped to improve the living conditions of the elves.

A week later, the school sent a new letter with a list of new books they needed to buy for the new semester.

Lockhart apparently has reached a strategic partnership with Hogwarts, and there are actually seven of his books in it.

Most of the books he wrote are on the list of required reading for students at the school.

William didn't think Lockhart would stay at school for seven years.

Not to mention a particular curse, Lockhart is not allowed to be so awesome...... Judging from his correspondence, the other party's temperament as a businessman is more than that of a professor.

He agreed to come to Hogwarts as a professor in order to increase the sales of the book and, by the way, to further increase his popularity.

This kind of person will not substitute teach in school for more than a year, otherwise it will affect his earnings.

Of course, after leaving the job, it is estimated that a copy of "Lockhart's Days at Hogwarts" will be published, so as to cut a wave of leeks.

What surprised William the most was that Lockhart was actually a graduate of Ravenclaw College.

For three years in a row, he was a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, all of whom were students at Ravenclaw House...... Dumbledore has a taste for my eagle sauce.

A few days later, William took Hermione and Anne to Diagon Alley.

The three of them stood in front of the big fireplace.

Anne picked up a pinch of shiny powder from the porcelain pot, walked over to the stove, and threw the powder into the flames. She walked straight into the fire and shouted "Diagon Alley!" ”

It was gone in the blink of an eye.

Floo was invented by Ignathia Wildsmith, who also came from Ravenclaw College.

However, after her death, Floo powder was owned by the public and controlled by official institutions, and it was a monopoly industry.

At present, there is only one licensed manufacturer in the UK, Floo, and it is illegal for anyone else to sell it.

Of course, in the spirit of running the market and preventing piracy, its selling price has not changed in a hundred years, and it has always been 2 sircos a spoonful.

It's the same as a happy water that hasn't changed for 10,000 years.

Soon, Hermione and Anne were gone, and William picked up a pinch of shiny powder, walked over to the stove, and threw it into the flames.

It was as if he had been sucked into a huge water pipe, and his body was spinning rapidly...... The whistling sound in my ears was deafening......

A moment later, he was standing in front of the stone fireplace of a wizard's shop.

Diagon Alley was full of people, constantly crowding towards the front.

Because it was too crowded, William had to hold one person by the hand to prevent Hermione and Anne from separating.

"What to buy first?" Hermione asked, looking up.

"Wand, my wand!" Anne was impatient.

William nodded, and led the two of them towards the Ollivander shop.

Diagon Alley is not just an Ollivanders wand shop, but everyone generally recognizes it as a long-established brand.

When the three of them entered the store, the wind chimes on the door made the sound of jingling bells.

Cedric was climbing the ladder to check on the old wands that had been accumulated for years, preparing to take advantage of the summer vacation to go to a batch of inventory.

Mr. Ollivander sat in a chair and drank tea.

"Welcome." Cedric saw William and the three smiled.

To be reasonable, it is not too easy for Cedric to grab business in the hands of Ollivanders after graduation.

Of course, he can use his face to attract those rich women to buy wands.

These people may buy dozens of them at a time, and there is still a guarantee in terms of quantity. The only flaw is that it is more expensive to use Liuwei Dihuang Pills.

Didn't William just rely on his face to win over a large number of Hogwarts customers?

Who doesn't have a few female classmates with stories?

Make money, don't chill!

Ollivanders stood up. "Welcome, Mr. Stark, meet again.

I remember two years ago, you bought a wand, and it was like yesterday.

Twelve and three-quarters inches long, made of cherry wood, is a good wand for magic, and I'm glad you can take it and receive the Merlin Medal. ”

"Miss Granger is different, a vine wand, and the owner of such a wand is almost always a man of lofty ambitions and a vision beyond the ordinary."

Ollivander opens with an amazing memory, and then a rainbow fart, which will be touted by the person who has bought the wand.

Mr. Ollivander touted and glanced at Anne again.

"Alright, Miss Stark, come on. Let me see. He pulled out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket.

Ollivander moved quickly, and then asked Cedric to pull out a large number of wands.

But every single one, he was not satisfied.

"Oh, picky customers!" Ollivander came up with that foolish rhetoric again.

William and Hermione looked at each other and exchanged glances.

When the two came to buy a wand, Ollivander did the same.

"Picky customers, don't worry, there's always the perfect ...... There is, an extraordinary combination of cedar wood, ptarmigan tail feathers, eleven inches long. Not bad, and very flexible. ”

When Anne took it, she felt a sudden heat in her fingertips. She raised her wand above her head, and an arc of lightning slashed, making a beeping sound in the air.

Cedric put Anne's wand in a box and wrapped it in brown paper, and Ollivander kept saying, "Isn't that a coincidence...... Isn't that a coincidence......"

Anne looked at Ollivander suspiciously.

"I remember every wand I made, and the core of this wand came from a Thunderbird, whose name was Frank, and it was Mr. Scamander's pet.

He was involved in the capture of the Dark Lord Grindelwald.

I think you'll be so outstanding and make a great career in the future, kid. ”

Anne's eyes flashed with little stars, and she had already made it her goal to capture the original Dark Lord.

When she grows up, take Grindelwald...... It can be left in the care of the great Dumbledore.

Unbeknownst to Anne, it was not a good idea to hand it over to the headmaster, as he could use torture excessively: whips, handcuffs, candles, bindings......

Cruel!

William didn't think about it that much, but learned Ollivanders' sales skills on the sidelines.

Ollivanders is the hidden salesman, and his performance is flickering, what little wizard doesn't think he is a child of destiny?!

He even wanted to punch Grindelwald and kick Voldemort.

No wonder Ollivander's wand is the No. 1 seller in Europe, and people also have a routine!

Fortunately, Ollivander is not from the Celestial Empire, otherwise with a magic wand, he is estimated to be able to boast to the point of grinding out the Great Dao.

After the three of them left, William took them to the pharmacy to replenish the potions, and to Mrs. Morkin's shop to make robes.

After a circle, there were more and more people in Diagon Alley.

William and the three sat outside Florin's cold drink shop, eating creamy strawberry chocolate ice cream.

"You guys rest here for a while, and I'll be back shortly." William said after eating the ice cream.

"Why are you going?" Hermione said confusedly.

"I need to go get something." William finished speaking and walked into the distance.

The items he ordered at the blog-Bogin store have arrived.
