0148 True and False
For a whole week, the boy in front of him tried all the wands in the store, and it was clear that many of them were very compatible with him, but none of them could make Aini use normally, which also made Ollivander puzzled.
It was the first time in his memory that the Ollivanders Wand Shop had let its customers go home empty-handed.
In particular, the boy was very sensible to clean and maintain every magic wand he had tried, which made the old gentleman even more unhappy.
This is a man who really likes wands, but he didn't get him a good companion.
He still remembers that day when Aini left, he curled up in the corner of the shelf, like a defeated rooster.
In fact, most of the week is spent on maintaining the wand, even if it is just a simple cleaning and rubbing some wand oil.
But who made Ani discover that there was little wool to be found after wiping his first wand......
It was a mistake that wiped Mr. Ollivander's favorability in half.
Even the old gentleman's expression became vivid when he saw Aini.
"Little Aini, ...... Well, it's a bit of a mess here, so why don't you go and sit in the back."
Since then, the boy has occasionally come over to ask questions about alchemy, and Ollivander has a very good opinion of him.
"Long time no see, Gaz." Anile greeted the old man, Mr. Ollivander was a pure man, and he had a very good appetite.
"Don't bother, I'm here today to customize a wand for Hermione."
"Oh, another little wizard who doesn't care for his wand."
After listening to Aini's answer, Ollivander looked at Hermione with a somewhat unpleasant expression on his face.
Wands are a treasure that wizards can't give up, but occasionally there are some young wizards who break their wands because of carelessness or lack of attention.
It stands to reason that the buyer and the seller pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and after the wand is traded, it has nothing to do with the old man.
However, Ollivander has condensed his whole life in this shop, and when he was a few years old, he practiced carving magic patterns in the back hall, and before he could take charge of himself, the old craftsman liked to take the store's collection to understand the ideas and truths, and by the way, to do a maintenance of them.
It can be said that every wand in the store is an acquaintance of his "people", either the handiwork of the ancestors of the Ollivanders family, or made by him.
For Ollivanders, every time he receives a buyer, it's not like making a deal, it's about marrying a daughter.
He devoted almost all his life to this ancestral craft, which also made the old man only have a wand in his eyes, and all he thought about was a wand, and his joys, sorrows, and sorrows were almost all related to wands.
As for what others think, hehe, you have your human feelings, I have my wand feelings, just don't interfere with each other.
I'm not used to it, okay, the door is open there, and your feet are growing on yourself, please leave mellowly!
Those who don't treat wands well don't look good for Ollivander.
No one wants to be stared at by a pair of silvery-white eyes that barely see human emotion, and neither does Hermione Hermione, and she doesn't have to be wrong.
"There's nothing wrong with the wand, it's just that the compatibility between the two has become lower after Hermione's magic has grown, and they can't continue to cooperate."
Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Aini hurriedly took the words and told the old store manager about the cause and effect.
"I'm sorry, little girl." After listening to this, Ollivander solemnly apologized to the girl, which is also one of the things that Ani likes about the old man, right is right, wrong is wrong, he never cares about other people's eyes, and he will not pretend to be wrong for his own face.
However, the girl was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.
"It's okay, I'...... I ......."
Hermione snorted twice, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say, and felt that the other party really should apologize to herself, but when the old man really did it, it made her a little overwhelmed.
"I was wrong, so there's nothing to admit." Ollivander still insisted on a bow, and the girl's little strength could not hold him
。
Aini just watched silently, without squeaking.
Wrong, will not become right because of status, power, identity, age, and apologizing is not only an expression of apology to others, but also self-salvation.
But there are always many people who turn a blind eye to "don't think", "do it", etc., but think that my evil is so small, why do you have to bite to death, is it so interesting?
What if the "evil is great"?
Then use the points mentioned earlier to press "big" into "small"!
If the victim disagrees, he or she will be called a "wicked child".
When people are accustomed to the apology that the old man should make, the little witch is flattered.
With such a small episode, the girl was no longer afraid of the big serious eyes, and handed the old man the materials she had exchanged from Sylvie.
"This ...... It's a natural wand, and the legend turns out to be true......
Then the stammering man was replaced by Ollivanders, holding the small wooden stick that Sylvie had spawned in both hands, like a pilgrimage.
"Can you tell me where it came from?"
Ollivander looked at the girl expectantly, he knew that his problem was a little presumptuous, but the heart of the staff, which had been passed down by the family for many years, was really not unhappy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander, but I got this material from someone else, and I don't know where it came from."
Hermione wouldn't reveal her existence without Sylvie's permission.
What's more, the girl didn't lie, she really didn't know how the little sapling grew.
"Is that so...... I took the liberty of it."
The old man, who had long since passed the age of confusion, naturally saw that the little witch had something to hide, but if he didn't say anything, it was useless to mess around, so he wouldn't let Aini help inquire about it next time.
Unbeknownst to Ollivanders, Hermione had just flashed a hint of joy at keeping Aini's secret......
"This is a natural cypress cane, perfect, perfect, this is the exclusive recipe of the brave, and the favored owner must be a strong-willed fighter who is not afraid of the darkness of his heart, and is willing to sacrifice himself for those who value it."
The old man's passionate tone became deeper and deeper as he spoke, and finally he let out a long sigh as if he had touched the scene.
Hermione opened her mouth to say something when she saw Anie gesturing to her, and the store fell silent for a moment.
After two or three minutes, Ollivander seemed to wake up suddenly, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, it's always easy to see things and think about people when I'm old."
"Gaz, how long will it take?"
Before Hermione could speak, Aini immediately asked, lest the topic be led in a sad direction.
"At least two months."
Ollivander opened the bag of the main material again, and inside was a long fiber, slightly thicker than a hair, and the breath on it was something he had never seen before, but it felt inexplicably familiar.
"Then let's buy a wand for later."
After Aini finished speaking, Ollivander reluctantly put away the two materials, eager to close the shop now and plunge into the studio.
Looking at the old man's obsessed appearance, the expression on Aini's face became more and more strange, if he guessed correctly, Ollivander would probably be busy for a while.
