It was like a balloon popping, and as Hermione waved her arm, there was a soft bang in the Ollivanders wand shop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The movement was not loud, and it was only frightening at best, but the presence of such a sound was enough proof of one thing - the wand that Ollivander had chosen for Hermione was not the right one.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a common thing. Come on, let's try another one. She took the wand from a somewhat stunned Hermione, took it back into the box, and took out a new one from under the counter. Within seconds, Ollivander had picked another wand for Hermione.

Still the same as before, Hermione waved her arm lightly again.

"Click~, click~~!"

There was no further explosion, but there was another unusual reaction, and just after Hermione waved her wand, a strong wind suddenly blew in the store, and several wand boxes placed on the top of the shelves were blown off by the gust of wind.

"Huh? Still doesn't work? ”

It's not uncommon for a wand to not fit properly, but it's not so common if it doesn't fit twice in a row.

Frowning and retrieving the wand from Hermione's hand, Ollivander pondered for a moment, and after almost a dozen seconds, he went to the back shelf again to remove the third box.

The wand boxes that had been blown to the ground by the strong wind had not been picked up, and before the third wand was chosen, his expression had become less casual than before, and it was obvious that Ollivander had already paid attention to Hermione's accident at this time, and began to gradually become serious.

"Twelve and a third inches, oak, and the core of the staff are the nerves of the dragon. Tough, strong, long-lasting, you can't go wrong again. ”

Having said that, Ollivander's expression didn't seem so determined, and there was a hint of apprehension in his eyes when he looked at Hermione.

Twice in a row, there was an accident, and there was something wrong with Professor McGonagall and Ollivanders, and Hermione's mood became a little uneasy. Perhaps because Ollivander's two recommendations were unsuccessful, her trust in Ollivanders also dropped a lot, and this time, before waving her wand, she unconsciously turned her attention to Chu Xiaobai, who was both powerful enough and worthy of her trust.

didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and Chu Xiaobai gave Hermione a 'rest assured' look.

"Okay then." Reassured, Hermione waved her arm for the third time.

"Buzz~~~~~~~! Click~!!! ”

There was a cacophony of noises, some like those heard when tinnitus, others like the sound of scraping a blackboard with your fingernails, and then a crisp sound.

This time the movement was even louder than the previous two, and what was even more surprising was that the wand in Hermione's hand was broken.

"Well, it's really rare to see such a picky customer." Even the toughest and most powerful oak wand has broken? Looking at the half of the wand in Hermione's hand, and then at the half on the ground, the well-informed Ollivanders felt a little speechless: "Little girl, you have stimulated me, wait for me for a while, I will bring you a few wands from my treasure." ”

Ollivander's tone was like a gamble, and a little like that of a learned scholar when he suddenly discovered something new he didn't know, making people think he was looking at the hunt.

The shopkeeper left the counter and went to the back warehouse on his own. Only Hermione's family, who were customers, were left in the store, as well as Professor McGonagall and Chu Xiaobai, who didn't expect this to be the case, and several people couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone's expressions were more or less filled with a hint of crying and laughing.

"Professor McGonagall, can I buy a wand for me this ......? Wouldn't I have been able to go to Hogwarts without a wand? A few adults were just surprised, or a little speechless, but little Hermione, who was a freshman in this issue, was different, because of the current situation, she was already a little worried.

"No, it won't. Even if you don't have one, Mr. Ollivanders can tailor a new wand for you, and at most it will take a few more days. ”

"It's alright, Hermione. After all, it's the only wand shop in the entire Diagon Alley, do you know what that means? This means that even if others open a wand shop here, they can't compete with Mr. Ollivander at all. I think you can fully trust Mr. Ollivanders' strength. "It's hard to tell Hermione the fact that 'Ollivander is one of the few wand-makers in the entire wizarding world', but that won't prevent Chu Xiaobai from comforting Hermione.

As he spoke, Ollivander had already returned from the warehouse in the back, holding several obviously special boxes in his arms. Presumably, those boxes contained the 'treasures' he just mentioned.

"Will it break again? Mr. Ollivander, will you let me pay compensation? "Since it is a 'treasure', the value is naturally not comparable to these ordinary wands in the past. So, when Ollivander opened the boxes and pushed them in front of Hermione, Hermione didn't choose any wand directly, but raised her little head and cautiously checked with Ollivander first.

"It's okay if it's broken. In fact, these are my experiments. Ollivander smiled and shook his head.

"Experiments?" Professor McGonagall's expression didn't seem to be good. Clearly, she was worried about the safety of the wands, that they would hurt Hermione, or worse.

"Don't worry, Minerva, I know what you're thinking." They were all old acquaintances, and Professor McGonagall was so obvious, how could Ollivander not see it? With a wave of his hand, he began to explain: "You know, I am a very strict wand maker, and if I can't confirm the safety of my wands, I will definitely not take them out." ”

"These wands, although they are made of new materials that have never been used before, will not be able to be used by anyone after they are made. However, that's all because the wizard and wand can't match, not that there's something wrong with the wand itself. ”

Listening to Ollivanders' introduction, Chu Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu - isn't this just like the artifacts that often appear in novels because they are too particular about the materials and are so powerful that no one can control them?

"Mr. Ollivanders, can you tell us about these wands? What are they made of? Prompted by curiosity, Chu Xiaobai interjected and asked a little inappropriately.

"It should." Nodding, Ollivander picked up the wands one by one and introduced: "I made this one out of the ribs of a dragon, the core of the wand is the mane of a nightmare, and the wand is eleven and a quarter of an inch long. It is tougher than a wooden wand and has a mental stabilizing effect. ”

"This wand is fourteen and a half inches long, and the material used is from the East, a material called sandalwood. Although wizards never used that kind of wood to make wands, in the hands of practitioners in the East, sandalwood was often used to make various magical tools. The core of the rod is also taken from the East, and it is the mane of a magical creature called Ryoma. ”

"And the last one, thirteen and a third inches long. The body of the staff is polished from the horns of the fire dragon, and the core of the staff uses the spinal nerves of the same fire dragon. Because all the materials are taken from the same magical creature, this wand is also very 'fussy'. If you can be its owner, it will be extremely active, and if you are not its owner, it will be like a burning stick in your hand and will not react at all. ”

Who wouldn't want to be different? Not to mention that Hermione was still a child.

After listening to Ollivander patiently, as soon as he stopped, little Hermione couldn't wait to stretch out her hand: "Can you start now?" Which one do I try first? ”

"Oh, wait a minute, dear." Ollivander quickly stopped Hermione's small hand, and his movements and tone were a little flustered: "Don't worry. Those ordinary wands just now have made such a big movement, if you don't prepare anything, let you directly get your hands on these 'high-end goods', I'm afraid that my little shop will be blown up by you." Wait a minute, wait a minute, get me ready for protection, okay? ”

"Minerva?" With Hermione finished, Ollivander turned his gaze back to Professor McGonagall.

"I see." Nodding, Professor McGonagall pulled out her wand and tapped the spell in the void. A faint light flashed like a wave of water, and a film like plastic sheeting was applied to the counter and several people in the store.

It's just a little magic that comes out of nowhere, but it's enough. After all, Hermione was a freshman who had not yet entered the school, and before she had mastered any spells and magic, it was impossible for her own magic power to unleash too powerful magic fluctuations even if she had a more powerful wand in her hand.

"Bang~~~~!"

"Boom~~~!"

First tried the Dragonrib Wand, then tried the sandalwood one, and just as Ollivander had expected, Hermione waved her hand and there was a bigger commotion. If Professor McGonagall hadn't released the protective magic earlier, the store would have been in a mess like a bunch of goblins.

Neither of these were suitable, and only the last wand made of dragon horns and dragon spine nerves remained.

"Whew~~~." It's the last option, and if it's not suitable, it's a real problem. Knowing this, Hermione couldn't help but get nervous before picking up her wand.

Taking a deep breath, Hermione finally picked up the last wand.
