Chapter 7: The Wand II
Ollivander was pulled out of his state of thought, then glanced at Luke, then looked in the direction of his finger.
At the sight of Luke's target, he frowned again.
However, he still drew his wand from his sleeve and with a flick of it, the box fell from a high place into his hand.
He returned to Luke, opened the box, and pulled out such a wand that looked delicate and quaint, and gave it a low-key feel.
"You can try it first."
He handed the wand to Luke, but gave no introduction to it.
Professor McGonagall sensed something was wrong with Ollivanders, so after Luke took the wand, she clenched the wand in her hand again, ready to strike. After all, if a wand really gets out of control, then the damage caused is not small at all.
Of course, this kind of harm is more likely to turn against the owner of the wand, so she stared at Luke tightly at this time, for fear that something would go wrong with him. Before she knew it, Professor McGonagall hadn't devoted her time to Harry in a while, and Luke had made her even more nervous.
From the first moment he took the wand, Luke experienced a heart-to-heart connection.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear something calling to him.
Now he felt like the wand was part of his body. With just a single click, the vase that Harry had broken just now was put together in an instant, and it was restored to its original shape.
Feeling the joy of the wand in his hand, Luke couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect the fit between you and this wand to be so high."
Ollivander was a little surprised, he hadn't seen such a good combination of wizard and wand in a long time.
"Is there anything different about this wand? Mr. Ollivander? ”
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but ask, if there was a safety hazard with this wand, then no matter how good Luke was, she couldn't let Luke use it, at least not as a wand that he used it often.
"Yes, Professor McGonagall, this wand is actually one I made recently. What made it different was that I used a core material that I had never used before, and which only one person had ever used before. ”
After speaking, he looked at Luke, who was also looking at him, and said, "Ten and a half inches, the staff is a vine, sharp and active, and likes wizards with high aspirations, and the core is ...... It's the backspinal of the White River Monster. The temporarily discovered effect has made the spell more powerful, and made the form of the spell more elegant. ”
The effect of the former is similar to that of the fire dragon's heart nerves, while the latter sounds more or less chicken. Could it be that when you eat a big melon, it will be more colorful?
"The White River Monster's Backstab...... Dedicated material by Thiago Quettana. This thing lives in Arkansas, North America. And it is said that no one but him has the means to catch the White River Monster. ”
Hagrid searched in his mind for a moment, and said with some confusion.
Ollivander nodded, and cast a surprised and appreciative look at Hagrid, "You are worthy of being the hunting ground guard of Hogwarts, and you are indeed well-informed. ”
Harry looked at Hagrid with some surprise, he didn't know how unpopular such information was, but from Professor McGonagall's somewhat surprised eyes, Harry still sensed that Hagrid was very powerful.
Hagrid scratched his head a little embarrassed. Then he immediately asked, "Mr. Ollivander, have you also mastered the way to capture the White River Monster?" ”
Ollivander shook his head and said, "No, it's just a leftover piece of material that the descendants of the Quettana family sold me. Not to mention me, even they themselves don't know how to catch the White River Monster. ”
Hagrid's expression was a little complicated, that is, regretful, and relieved.
Luke could understand the feeling. It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to catch or meet the White River Monster, and I am relieved that I don't have to worry about this amazing animal being hunted in large numbers.
Ollivander turned his gaze back to Luke's and admonished, "Mr. Gaunt, I didn't intend to sell this wand, so I put it in the unused area at the top. But I didn't expect the fit between you and it to be so high. So, I'm leaving the choice to you, I don't know what kind of unique effect this wand will have. Because as far as I know, even Thiago has never tried a combination of vines and river thorns. ”
"If you're willing to take the risk, then I can sell you this wand."
Ollivander said this very sincerely, he really did not want to sell such a wand that he was not sure of its effect, it was not in line with his principles, after all, who knows if this wand will have any potential problems or great benefits.
But in addition to the fit, the identity of this child also makes him willing to make an exception once. If anything goes wrong, then with the help of himself and the professors at Hogwarts, the child will not suffer much. And if there is any use, then it should be a gift from him to this child, or to the head of the Gaunt family.
Luke didn't hesitate and said without thinking.
"Of course I do."
Just kidding, such a good wand is unavoidable in itself, and it is worth taking a little risk.
Ollivander was not surprised by such an answer.
"So, if there's anything out of the ordinary, good or bad, please contact me, and I'll be sure if there will be any peculiar effects from such a combination."
"Yes, Mr. Ollivander, thank you."
Of course, Luke will not refuse, knowing that there is no after-sales service for wands, and Ollivander is already quite taking care of himself.
"Excuse me, sir, what is the price?"
"Seven Galleons, child, Tong Su is not bullied."
Ollivander winked at Luke a little mischievously. This price is the price of the relatively ordinary wands in his shop. And the three wands that Luke has passed are all the best of the best, and if you really want to sell them, you can multiply them tenfold.
But even putting aside the fact that the child was unusually pleasing to the eye, the fact that the Gaunt family had gone from being an heir to a head of the family was in itself a cause for celebration for the nobility as a group.
A wand is not very valuable as a gift.
Luke naturally understood the tone, so he took out seven gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Ollivanders.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Luke said.
"Congratulations on the return of Gaunt."
Ollivander said.
Thinking that after today, the news of the return of the Gaunt family should soon spread throughout the aristocratic circle.
