356. Wand Detection 1

On Friday afternoon, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were supposed to take two Charms lessons together, but Field didn't make it.

In fact, as early as after lunch, Field was summoned by Professor McGonagall to Dumbledore's Headmaster's office.

The gargoyle at the end of the hallway still stood, and around its back, Professor McGonagall whispered the code to open the door - "Lemon Jelly-"

"Wow-" There was a loud bang, and the wall cracked in half, revealing a spiral-shaped staircase that rotated automatically.

"Mr. Diggory, go up yourself. Professor McGonagall said and turned to leave.

"Thank you, Professor. Field, thanking him, stepped up the spiral staircase.

The staircase spun up on its own, and it didn't take long for it to stop, and when it stepped out, there was a semicircular arch on the opposite side.

Field was about to knock on the door, but it opened, and Dumbledore beckoned Field to enter as he spoke.

"Well, Mr. Ollivander, the author of these works has arrived. ”

It was only then that Field could see that Dumbledore was standing next to an old wizard, of medium height, brown hair, and a pair of silver-white eyes that were much larger than normal.

"Mr. Ollivanders, it's a pleasure to see you again. Field smiled and stepped forward, bowing slightly to the old wizard.

"Oh, Mr. Diggory, we've met?" asked Ollivanders, surprised.

"Of course, sir, I once bought a wand from you, eleven and three-quarters an inch long, with a body of Higashi Aoki, the core of which is the tail hair of a unicorn, and a spiral on the handle. Field explained.

"Oh, I remember. Sure enough, Ollivander remembered every wand he sold, but not necessarily people. "Is that wand of yours okay?"

Hearing Ollivander ask, Field was a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, sir, but maybe my mana is growing a little too fast, and it's not for me anymore, so I'm leaving him at home. ”

Indeed, Field didn't tell all the nonsense, the wand did remain in Diggory's old mansion on Oak Street, but it was left there in the form of parts, and in fact it became a part that night after the wand was bought.

Ollivander thought for a moment and asked, "Oh, yes, then you're using that wand, I don't seem to remember when you came to Ollivanders to change your wand." ”

Field looked up at Dumbledore in some surprise, but Dumbledore smiled at him and shook his head, which made Field smile bitterly. The reason why he came up and took the initiative to talk to Ollivander about the wand was because he thought that Dumbledore had told the other party that he was the heir to the Nice studio, and in order to avoid embarrassment between the two parties (Field took the opportunity to buy a wand to steal the master), so he took the initiative to bring it up, but he didn't expect the other party to know.

"Mr. Ollivanders just arrived, and before you came up, he was just looking at those rune wands you had transformed. Dumbledore said.

Speaking of rune wands, Ollivanders also became interested, pulling Field to the coffee table, asking about the function of those runes, as well as some skills and experience in wand making.

Well, Field and Ollivander met for the second time, and the old man was a fanatic about wand-making, but he scoffed at the rune wands that Field had modified, and he thought that adding runes to wands was a complete desecration of wands. Because it directly separates the connection between the wand and the wizard, turning a work of art into a rigid tool.

The fanatical Ollivander became more and more agitated, and finally calmed him down with a quote from Dumbledore, "Mr. Field Diggory is the grandson of Lady Filna Nice and the heir to Nice's studios. ”

..................

It took a long time for Field to finally figure out one thing, Ollivander was also one of Grandma Nice's suitors, and Dumbledore had invited Grandma Nice to Hogwarts to work on the wand test of the Triwizard Tournament before school started, but when Grandma Nice heard that Ollivander would also come, she refused.

The Fanatic Wand controls Mr. Ollivander, after knowing that Field is the grandson of Grandma Nice, does stop criticizing him anymore, but instead begins to pester him to ask about Grandma Nice, which makes Field even more embarrassed. Field had to excuse himself to leave with the excuse that he still had classes to attend in the afternoon, but the old guy asked for Field's assistant when the wand was detected, and Dumbledore agreed without knowing what to think.

Following Dumbledore, Field, and Ollivander chatted one by one, and then they went downstairs and down the stairs to the foyer. At a step from the foyer, they walked up and into a smaller classroom.

Most of the desks in the classroom have been pushed to the back, leaving a large open space in the middle. But there were three desks facing each other, in front of the blackboard, covered with a long piece of velvet. Behind the velvet-covered desks, there were five chairs, presumably the seat of the judges.

The small classroom seemed to be full of people at this point, and Victor Krum stood in a corner with a gloomy face as usual, not speaking to anyone. Leo Poliaco and Helen Hathaway occupy a corner and are playing a game of wizarding chess.

Cedric was talking to Fleur, and the two were talking and laughing, and honestly they seemed to be a good match. Field noticed that the two spoke French, but it was normal, Cedric's French was very good, while Fleur's English was not good. In addition, he did not have a good relationship with Beauxbatons's classmates, so there were not many people who could communicate with him at Hogwarts.

On the other side, Gore, the cameraman of Magic TV, was discussing something with Mr. Ludo Bagman of the Ministry of Magic, and there was a pot-bellied man with a large black camera with a slight smoke on the side, interjecting a few words from time to time, and then peeking at Fleur on the side.

In the cubicle with the broom in the professor's corner (the door was broken, and he blew it up by Field and Moody while cleaning up the ghosts), Harry was sitting face-to-face with a witch in bright red robes, well, indeed sitting, Harry sitting on a cardboard box, and the woman sitting on an upside-down bucket.

Field knew that this woman, Rita Skeeter, the chief reporter of the Daily Prophet, was a disgusting man who relied on fabrication and grandstanding, and that Mrs. Diggory had been at odds with her when she was working at the Daily Prophet.

Although he had heard Mrs. Diggory talk about it, the first time he saw a real person, Field still had to sigh how a person's taste could be so bad.

Rita Skeeter's hair was curly by her, and I don't know if it was sprayed with styling water or magic, her curls looked hard and weird, and it was indescribably awkward to go with her surprisingly large chin.

Then she wore a pair of jeweled glasses, a crocodile leather handbag, thick fingernails just two inches long, painted blood-red, and Field, without exaggeration, she now resembled a nouveau riche vampire with a thirsty attack.
