Chapter 15: The Wand

From the outside, it looked like a normal small white building with a steeple roof, but when they entered the bronze gate of Gringotts, there were fairy guards in scarlet and gold uniforms standing at the door, and when they entered the doorway, there was a marble paved passageway, the floor was smooth enough to be used as a mirror, and at the end of the marble aisle immediately appeared two more doors that shone with silver light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The two silver gates are engraved with striking words:

Enter, stranger, buttakeheed

Forthosewhotake,butdonotearn,(Blindly taking, getting for nothing)

atreasurethatwasneveryours, (a fortune that never belonged to you)

thief, youhavebeenwarned, beware

(Beware of the reward, not the treasure, but the evil retribution.) )

Professor McGonagall walked over, and the two humanoids, who looked almost a meter and three meters tall, and were covered in steel armor, immediately bowed and saluted, and did not straighten up until they were all inside.

When you enter this door, you will see a completely different scene from the previous one, a wide marble hall, flanked by mahogany counters, lined up in two rows, each of which sits a very strange-looking short man.

These little people have pointed ears, pointed noses, and pen-holding palms that are unusually wide compared to their size, and the nails on their thick five fingers look sharp.

"These are goblins, and they're incredibly shrewd about all things wealthy." Professor McGonagall whispered.

The bright crystal chandelier illuminated the marble floor painted with intricate symbols, and the light reflected in the wide hall dazzled the gorgeous dazzling eyes, these elves were busy with different things in their hands, some were joking down numbers in the ledger that no one else could understand, and some goblins were weighing golden coins with a fine copper scale. Sivi even saw a mountain of colorful gems piled in front of a goblin, who was holding a lens-like thing and examining the gems one by one.

The Granger family was amazed, and it was the first time that Sivi had seen so many gems, and the light emitted by the crystal chandelier passed through these gems, making these gems shine dazzlingly and seductively, which was a fortune that could make people lose their minds, but Sivi didn't care too much, because the system had prepared much more money for him in the bank of the human world than these gems.

Professor McGonagall walked to a goblin's counter and reached out and knocked on the wooden counter, the elf on the counter stopped writing on the paper, raised her head and pushed her glasses, looking at the group in front of her, "What do you need?" This lady. ”

"Exchange coins." Professor McGonagall replied.

"Oh, who wants to exchange coins, please come forward, we have a deep cooperation with the Royal Bank of England." The leprechaun in the black dress narrowed her long, small eyes.

"It's me." Mr. Granger took two steps forward, looking at the elf in front of him with a curious look, but his face showed no curiosity.

"Ordinary people?" The goblin looked at the human in front of him, then noticed the man behind Mr. Granger, skimmed Mrs. Granger, and fixed his eyes on Sivi and little Hermione, and then retracted it.

"It seems that you are the father of these two young wizards, and you are a new Hogwarts student this year, so I suggest you exchange it for three hundred gold Galleons," the observant elf suggested to Mr. Granger.

Mr. Granger looked at Professor McGonagall, and when he saw Professor McGonagall nodding slightly, he was relieved, and he began to communicate with the elf, and in a moment he carried a small box containing the three hundred gold gallons.

The group exchanged the coins and walked out of Gringotts to buy all the items written on the slip that had been attached to the letter they had sent earlier.

The first is the Lady Morkin Robe Shop, whose owner, Lady Morkin, is an affable, short, stocky witch with a smile and a purple robe.

"Are you buying a school uniform at Hogwarts, two lovely little wizards?" Mrs. Morkin greeted Sivi and little Hermione with a smile.

"I've been making Hogwarts school uniforms for years, and I'm absolutely good at it." Mrs. Morkin boasted.

She held a black robe in her left hand and a pin in her right hand: "Come here, two lovely little wizards, let me measure you." ”

Sivi and little Hermione walked up, and Mrs. Morkin made them stand on two wooden footstools, and then put two black robes over them. Then they used pins to find the size of their uniforms and recorded them on a piece of paper.

In a while, the school uniforms of the two will be ready. The next thing is to go to the next store, the Blotted bookstore, to buy all kinds of magic books that are needed on the list, and little Hermione also bought a lot of books that are not needed for the list, which is a pain for Mr. Granger, he can't take it anymore, but fortunately, Mrs. Granger carefully bought two small carts, put all the things bought in, and two little ones pushed them away.

Then there was the Patch Cauldron Shop, where all kinds of precision utensils were bought, and as for the Ella Owl Shop, neither of them needed an owl now to buy it, and Sivi felt that it was too unsafe to use an owl to pass items.

After all the necessary supplies were purchased, there was one last thing left, which was also the most important thing - a wand, and they came to the Ollivanders wand shop recommended by Professor McGonagall, the store was dilapidated and small, and the sign on it said Makersoffinewan (Founded in 382 BC) If this is true, it is too exaggerated, you must know that this period is in China but during the Warring States period!

In the window next to the storefront, a faded purple mat sits lone on a wand. They entered, and it was dark in the shop, and an old man was standing behind the counter, presumably the proprietor, Mr. Ollivander, whose big light-colored eyes were like two shining moons in the dim shop.

Hermione picked the wand first, and Mr. Ollivanders asked Hermione to try on several wands before finding the right one for little Hermione, vine wood, fourteen inches, and the core of the wand was the tendon cord of the dragon's heart. The wand trembled slightly as soon as it reached Little Hermione's hand, as if welcoming Little Hermione.

"Oh, the vine wand isn't the usual type, it's always owned by the kind of wizards who are constantly striving for improvement, and these wizards have otherworldly visions and are always impressive. It seems that the little girl will be a powerful wizard in the future!" Ollivander looked at little Hermione, who was holding the vine wand, in surprise, and said this complimentarily.

"Next for you, little one." Ollivander beckoned to Sivi and asked him to come up and pick up his wand.

One, two, ten, Sivi tried more wands than little Hermione's, and Ollivander was sweating profusely as he climbed up and down, he stopped for a moment, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at Sivine's eastern face, which was different from the Englishman's, as he rested. My mind suddenly moved.

"Are you Asian, little one?" Ollivander asked.

"Yes, sir, I am Chinese." Xiwei watched the old man of such an age climb up and down for his own business, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, and replied respectfully.

"Coincidentally, I happen to have a wand made of Chinese wood." Ollivanders' eyes lit up, and he stood up and climbed to the top of a large shelf where his wand was placed. A wooden box was pulled out from above.

"Try it, little one." Ollivander pushed the wooden box in front of Sivi and opened it.

Sivi opened the wooden box, and inside was a wand of similar style to other wands, and the color was not too unusual. Sivi picked up his wand, and suddenly the wand in his hand glowed with a faint white light.

"Hey, that's just right." Ollivander laughed.

"Chinese sycamore, fourteen inches, the heart of a dragon even has the hair of an adult three-headed dog. The heart of the dragon represents the pursuit of powerful, very ordinary materials, the choice of many wizards. The hair of the three-headed dog, which is scarce, represents the guardian and the soul. As for this Chinese sycamore, it represents loyal love, but there is also loneliness and parting. Ollivander looked at Sivi with deep meaning, the little guy really had a lot of secrets, but this was not his concern.

"This wand is special in that it has two cores. Treat it well. Ollivander continued.

Sivi listened to what Ollivander said, pondered for a moment, nodded, and walked out of the store with the Grangers and Professor McGonagall, who parted at the door of the Leaky Cauldron, and Sivi and the others returned to their home, waiting for the first day of school at Hogwarts on September 1st.
