Chapter 4 Birthday gifts must have plug-ins
It should have been very cheerful when eating the cake, but at this time it fell into a deathly silence, and only the sound of Grandma Yuta's running water as she washed the dishes came from the kitchen in the huge living room.
"That..... Happy Grindelwald! Yvette was the first to break the awkward situation and handed a gift box to Grindelwald.
From the outside, the packaging is leftover from a biscuit gift box.....
“.....”
Yvette didn't show any unhappiness, but still had the same optimistic smile, "Then I'll put the gift next to me first." With that, he placed the gift in the vacant spot next to Grindelwald.
"Thank you."
As Yvette turned, Grindelwald's Adam's apple trembled slightly, and he let out a thank you voice that only the two of them could hear.
After a sparse discussion, everyone unanimously decided to put it next to Grindelwald's place first. As they passed by the strange and cold aura beside Grindelwald, everyone realized for the first time that a birthday party could be so difficult.....
And just as Tom passed by Grindelwald with a slender gift box and was about to put it down, he was suddenly grabbed by a stronger hand.
Grindelwald's other hand grabbed Tom's hair and moved closer to him, their eyes barely ten centimeters apart.
Grindelwald's angry, animal-like voice came again, "Where did you get this?" Grindelwald's eyes were extremely cold at this time, making Tom feel as cold and frightened as if he was in an ice cave at this time.
As if feeling a call, something was tearing at the gift box in Tom's hand from the inside out, and the movement became more and more intense as time passed.
A brown wand tore through the packaging that bound him and rushed in front of Grindelwald, cheering like a child seeing his parents, constantly circling around Grindelwald, and rubbing a few times against Grindelwald's body from time to time.
If this situation makes Ollivander exclaim, although the essence of choosing a wand is that the wand is choosing its master, it is unheard of for a wand to be eager to surrender to a person.
The selection criterion for a wand is not that the more powerful the wizard, the better, although strong is a criterion for some material wands, but the real key is the wand and the master's bonding. The owner of holly wood is persistent and patient, the owner of aspen wood is a natural gladiator, the owner of purple shirt wood is born sinister and cunning, and so on......
And the choice of the rod core is like the finishing touch..... But now the wizarding world has given up on working too the wand core, after all, there are so many combinations like stars in the sky, how can it be possible to prepare a perfect wand for everyone.
In the current situation like Grindelwald's, it is impossible unless it is a wand master tailor-made for a wizard. And the wand master had to know the wizard's heart well.....
"I.... I'll do it myself....." Tom was so frightened by the sudden situation that he retreated, but he couldn't escape because he was grabbed by the hair.
"You did it?" Grindelwald's eyes kept looking at Tom, giving him the illusion that his soul had been seen through.
'Muggles can't make wands without magic..... Not to mention such a perfect combination..... Mudbloods? Or is it the amorous product of those pure-blood families? ’
Seeing this, Roy, who didn't understand what was going on, rushed up and slapped Grindelwald's hand away, protecting Tom behind him, "What are you doing!?" ”
"Material?" Grindelwald bypassed Roy, who was in his way, and looked directly into Tom's dodging eyes.
However, this time Grindelwald's actions were not as rough as before, keeping a safe distance of about one meter..... Of course, the so-called 'safety' is for Tom.
"..... made from the tree in the garden"
Gum arabic, a very unique wand material, is even extremely rare due to its unique properties. Because these kinds of wands are famous..... Cunning, he will only pick those who are gifted, and if the talent is not enough, it doesn't matter, he can always give you a face at the most critical moment, such a personality has caused many self-righteous wizards to die early in duels, and some wand masters have even refused to use this kind of material.
Incidentally, the Amucum Arabic wand also hates lengthy spells, so spellless casting is a must for the owners of these wands.
"Where's the rod?" Grindelwald's eyes narrowed into a slit, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and this action often means that the person is trying to hide his thoughts at this time.
It seems that it was not the reason for the talent to be withdrawn..... What is that? ’
Grindelwald had long been suspicious of his origins, why did the great Dark Lord 'Gelliot Grindelwald' have a magical note here? Why is my mind so different from that of my peers? Why is he so proficient in casting spells without spells or even without wands? Grindelwald felt that he was now close to the truth that he could not believe.
"It's a feather..... A raven's tail feathers ....."
Ravens are often misunderstood as symbols of demons, and some wielders of raven's tail feathers have been falsely rumored to be the heirs of dark wizards. But what is really recognized by the wand masters in the wizarding world is the two ravens on the shoulders of the god-king Odin, 'Fujin and Wuni', in Norse mythology, with Fujin representing 'thought' and Wuni representing 'memory'. The owner of the raven core often has a sharp mind and a good memory.
"That's right....." Grindelwald suddenly returned to the lonely state when he had just walked out of the room, like a deflated ball.
The hardest hit is often not despair, but the moment of dashed hope..... Also, that possibility will only be your own whim. Maybe he's just an outcast of some powerful wizard.
"....." Seeing this, Tom hurriedly swallowed back half of his words, and at this time, Grindelwald seemed to have become a moody madman in the eyes of everyone, and Tom was afraid that his words would provoke Grindelwald to make him do something drastic.
Because..... In the process of loading the rod core..... Accidentally broke the feather.....
