Chapter 386: Detection Wand (Sincere thanks to Silver Alliance Ksg and Phantom Feather)
While eating breakfast, Alan receives a notification to detect the wand.
It's a smaller classroom, and most of the desks have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle. But there were three desks side by side, in front of the blackboard, covered with a long piece of velvet.
Behind the velvet-covered desks lay five chairs, one of which sat Ludo Bagman.
Bagman suddenly saw Allen, quickly stood up, and jumped forward.
"Alan Harris, the best Seeker in the world. Bagman opened his arms and gave Alan a big hug.
Out of the corner of Alan's eye, he caught a glimpse of Victor Klum standing in the corner, his thick black eyebrows twisted.
He also heard Krum curse in a whisper, "Hell, Grindelwald's remnant." β
Soon, Professor Karkaroff, Ms. Maxim, and Mr. Crouch all came to the small classroom and sat behind the long velvet table under the guidance of Bagman.
The door creaked, and the blonde witch in a magenta robe flashed in, her jeweled glasses lifted, and a heavily drawn eyebrow raised the moment she saw Allen.
Harry slipped in from behind her and stood beside Alan.
"I wonder what tomorrow's Daily Prophet will write about, the boy crying alone in the dark?" Alan rubbed his chin, suddenly feeling that he needed to "remind" Rita for a moment not to scribble Hermione and Fleur.
Two young wizards walked in after Dumbledore.
Carla Rogers. Fleur rolled her eyes impressively, "She hates her freckles the most, you don't have to look at her face for a long time, I don't know why she cares so much about a few freckles - in the summer, she deliberately tans herself so that the freckles are completely invisible." β
Allen's gaze swept over Kara's big flushed face, and in fact, it was really hard to notice those freckles without looking closely.
As if sensing Ellen's gaze, Kara saw Eren standing with Fleur and rolled her eyes even more exaggerated than Fleur's.
A sneer rang out beside Kara, "Hello, my name is Brooke Hernandez. β
"He's pretty cute. Fleur chuckled softly.
Indeed, this Durmstrang wizard had dark brown hair, bright green eyes, and was not wearing Durmstrang's school uniform, but instead of wearing a black and red flannel loose shirt with black athletic trousers underneath.
He leaned back in his chair, his arms folded over his chest, and when he saw Fleur's smile, he showed his white teeth, and returned an even brighter smile, blinking.
It looked like a man - Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Now, warriors, let the most charming blonde Rita Skeeter take you to the wider world, and at the request of the Ministry of Magic, we want to take a group photo and interview with you six warriors of all time, except for Harry, who has just been interviewed, please stay after the photo is taken, and we need to conduct a one-man interview. β
Rita shook her blonde hair, "They made the right choice, I'm the best journalist I can be, and my unruly quill has revealed a lot of flashy false namesβ"
"Well, I have to say, your article about the International Council of Wizards is fantastic," Dumbledore interrupted, his eyes burning brightly, "I love reading the part where you portrayed me as a rigid old madman. β
Rita Skeeter didn't look ashamed in the slightest.
"I just wanted to point out that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, and many wizards out thereβ"
"I'd love to hear your frank reasoning, Rita," Dumbledore said, smiling slightly and bowing politely, "but I'm afraid we'll have to talk about that later." Now, let's take a picture of the warriors. β
The photographer brought by Rita jumped to her feet.
"Uh-well, let's take a group photo," Rita Skeeter said, her eyes falling on Allen, "maybe a few more solo shots later." β
The group photo took a long time, so as soon as it was over, Alan couldn't wait to leave.
But he was the first warrior to be stopped by Rita. From Rita's burning gaze, it can be seen that the warrior she wants to interview the most is none other than Alan in front of her.
But Eren had no intention of idleming with her.
Before Alan could speak, Rita's green quill began to scribble, the tip of the pen deftly gliding across the parchment.
Alan could clearly see that it was full of beautiful words.
"Miss Skeeter, this is not the first time we've dealt with each other, and you know exactly who I am. Tomorrow's paper, I don't want to see exaggerated remarks, I don't want to see Hermione and Fleur their affair. As for Krum, after the World Cup, that article that you published on the contradictory was wonderful. β
With that, Alan patted the non-existent dust on his body and walked out the door, leaving Rita in the room with a flattering expression on her face.
After waiting for a long time, after all the warriors had been interviewed one by one, they were led back to the velvet table.
"Allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivanders. After Dumbledore sat down in the referee's seat, he said to the Warriors, "He's going to check your wand to make sure it's in good shape before the game." β
Ollivander's two big light silver eyes immediately looked at Allen: "Mr. Harris, will you come first?"
Alan strode forward and handed him his wand.
"I didn't have to check it, after all, I witnessed the wand made yesterday, but the charter demanded it. Ollivander fiddled with his baton, letting his wand spin between his slender fingers, and the wand spewed out many pink and gold sparks.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivanders, but in the interest of fairness and justice, I must ask, is his wand made by you for the competition?" Karkaroff asked in a long voice.
"It's customary, but I didn't make it. This Mr. Alan Harris is an excellent wandmaker. The notes he exchanged with me gave me a lot of inspiration, and maybe in the future, young wizards will use metal wands more and more. Ollivander admired and returned the wand to Allen.
Everyone looked at Alan in amazement, including Dumbledore, and the more they came into contact with the teenager, the more they would find him unfathomable.
Rita Skeeter's quill slid swiftly across the parchment, almost trembling with excitement.
Alan politely took his leave as soon as he finished testing his wand, it had taken him too much time to complete the process.
Back in the tower, Alan didn't study the Dementors in the first place, but instead tapped his wand at his own perceptual imprint, where he was secretly contacting Penelope.
The matter entrusted to Penelope this time is completely confidential, so Alan chooses to use the Perception Mark to contact Penelope.
It only took a few minutes for Penelope to find a place to avoid and get in touch with Alan.
Alan told Penelope about his research on the Dementors, and asked her to find some of the most heinous death row inmates for Allen and take them to the tower's confinement chamber, where Eren could study the Dementors' eating and Dementor kisses.
