Chapter 3: The Wand

After the friendly Mrs. Morkin made it clear to Brie that she could rent a room at the Leaky Cauldron for some money and go to a second-hand bookstore for some money, Brie began to make her own preschool plan.

"I'm sorry Emmeline, I'm still used to being free." Brie muttered to herself.

Brie has always been sensible, even in the confused stage, he sees his life like a third perspective, and he refuses to adopt Emmeline because he knows exactly what he wants.

"I think I'm going to have to change my life goals – to graduate from Hogwarts successfully, learn useful magic, and then go to China to live in seclusion."

"Well, I don't know if there are wizards in Huaxia, I should be xenophobic, but I have at least half of the Huaxia blood."

Brie didn't know where he came from, and Betty never said it, he only knew that he had thrown it at the door of the orphanage when he was a baby, and all he had was a shabby blanket that he didn't know where to throw it, and only a diary with Brie's name written on it.

And the diary over there was in Brie's crossbody bag, but Brie never wrote a word on it, only drew a cute cat face on the title page of the first page, after all, normal people write diaries!

But Brie decided to write down the magic she had learned in this notebook from now on.

At this time, Emmeline, who was shopping for something, also came to the door of Lady Morkin's shop, where Brie had been waiting for her for a while.

"Brie, the things have been bought, and I also bought you a suitcase, the suitcase is specially approved by the Ministry of Magic, and the space is not very large."

Special permissions?

As if seeing Brie's doubts, Emmeline said slowly: "This suitcase has cast a traceless stretching spell and a certain weight-reducing spell, the space inside has been doubled, and the weight has been reduced by two times, and the traceless stretching spell is forbidden by the Ministry of Magic to be used at will, and the goods sold need to be licensed by the Ministry of Magic." ”

Brie took the small suitcase from Emmeline's hand, it was not very large, but she could feel a certain weight, and it seemed that it contained a lot of things.

"Thank you, Emmeline, can you tell me how much?"

Emmeline rubbed Brie's little head and teased, "Well-behaved children always have preferential treatment, don't they." ”

Brie understood that it was a school gift for him.

"Alright, let's go buy your school gift, a pet is nice."

Brie didn't move, and Emmeline stopped and looked at Brie.

Brie looked up, squinted his eyes and chuckled, "I... Thank you Emmeline, but I'd like to go to Hogwarts first, I'm not sure if I can take care of a pet while adjusting to the wizarding world, if I can, I think I'll buy one in the second semester, you've helped me a lot. ”

Emmeline nodded.

"Then let's go buy a wand, this is the last stop of the day."

"Okay, Emmeline!"

Ollivander: A well-made wand since 382 BC.

The Ollivanders Wand Shop, the best wand shop in the UK, and certainly the only one, from which almost all British wizards get their companions.

However, it is obvious that the boss may have forgotten to tidy up his shop because of his excessive prestige, but he also does not seem to need publicity.

Emmeline looked at the Ollivanders wand shop and said helplessly: "It's the same as many years ago, it's still the same shabby here, but you'll be satisfied here, after all, what you need is a wand, and Mr. Ollivanders is very friendly in taking care of those wands." ”

Pushing open the door, Brie heard a roar, and when he looked up, there were wand shelves of unknown depth, high and low, and messy, and because of the roar, the wand boxes on the rows of shelves fell down.

I heard an old man sigh: "Oh, it's really, it's amazing, I thought this wand would choose Malfoy's, but it wasn't..."

God babble.

This was Brie's first impression of Ollivanders.

The store didn't look very large, but the slender layout stretched out into the darkness, and in front of the only counter in the store, the Malfoys were picking out their wands.

Draco Malfoy and his mother, Brie had already met, and the other tall and slender man with platinum hair and a snakehead staff was Malfoy's father, easy to recognize, exactly the same platinum blonde as little Malfoy, and the family was golden.

Malfoy's father didn't seem to look down as if he were looking up haughtily, looking at his son disapprovingly.

"Draco, watch your manners and don't frown casually."

Draco also saw Brie entering the door, but ignored it, and he was very upset that he had not chosen his own wand for a long time, but he did not dare to refute his father's words, and immediately puffed up his chest, looked at Ollivander seriously, and said, "Sir, I think you can change another batch." ”

Lady Malfoy smiled and placed her hand on her son's shoulder, "Draco, be patient, wands are important. ”

"Of course, Mom, Malfoy needs the best."

After Draco Malfoy took the wand from Ollivander once more, a burst of red light shot out and hit the wand shelf beside Brie, and the wand box on it poured out.

Brie hurriedly stepped back to avoid being smashed.

"Tsk!"

Draco Malfoy pouted in displeasure, and Brie could feel that it was Draco Malfoy regretting that the wands hadn't hit him.

"Oh, I thought, it should be like this, for you, the wonderful combination, hawthorn wood and unicorn hair, I remember where I put it......"

"Boom... Gollum ......"

As Ollivander pondered, Brie had a very beautiful and quaint wand rolling at his feet, and it didn't look so lively with Mithril wrapped around its cyan torso.

Ollivander had stopped muttering and stared straight at the wand at Brie's feet.

For some reason, Brie picked up the uninvited wand, and in an instant, a fresh breeze poured out of the wand, and with the breeze, the surrounding wand boxes returned to their original positions, and the green vine shoots spread out, blooming beautiful blue flowers, and the light spots on the blue flowers like elves kept jumping.

"Oh! An incredible combination, Mithril is old-fashioned, but also the most extensive, with a powerful magical resonance, and these Mithril hollows are wound around the green vine wood, beguiling the lively and changeable ...... of the green vine wood"

"However, it's a pity that I didn't find a suitable wand core for it in the first place, its core is still empty, and if it weren't for the effect of Mithril, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good wand."

Ollivander was a little tormented, because he didn't have a wick, he always thought it was a half-finished product, but Mithril was magical, giving it the ability to cast magic, and it had found its owner.

Ollivander walked up to Brie, stroked his wand lightly, and said, "The combination of green vine wood and Mithril, but without a wand core, 9 inches, extremely exquisite, extremely tough, and can even be used as a bracelet...... Tell me your name, can you? ”

He stared at the wand, but Brie understood that he was talking to him.

"Brie Ode, sir."

"Oh, well, Mr. Ode, ahem, I hope to hear about your reputation in the future, because I don't know what this wand will give you... 9 gold gallons, sorry, can't give you a price drop just because you don't have a wand core, because Mithril is too scarce. ”

Silently took out 9 Galleons from his crossbody bag and handed them to Ollivanders, Brie smiled.

And the wand was taken out by Garon and bent into a beautiful bracelet, which was placed on Brie's right hand.

Ollivander raised his eyebrows and said, "I can see that it is a little willful and a little naughty." ”

With that, he went to a deeper part of the store......

The Malfoys looked at Brie in unison, and Mr. Malfoy's face changed when he looked at Emmeline, who had not spoken since he saw them at the door, and then returned to his haughty appearance.

"Alright, let's go, Brie."

Emmeline, who didn't bother with the Malfoys, seemed a little disgusted like a fly, and it stands to reason that an elegant lady like Emmeline should have talked to them and said hello.

Brie didn't think much of it, and left with Emmeline, and only after they did Mr. Malfoy say, "Have you seen him, Draco?" ”

Draco Malfoy said dismissively, "A Muggle wizard." ”

Lucius nodded silently and didn't say anything more.

……

"I'm sorry, Emmeline, I don't think I can promise you."

Emmeline once again offered to adopt Brie, but Brie firmly refused.

Emmeline also seemed helpless, because Brie not only rejected her, but also rejected the offer to go to her house for a while afterward.

"I think I'll be able to live in the Leaky Cauldron for a while, I want to learn more about the wizarding world, and I can read a lot of books in second-hand bookstores."

"Well, as you wish, I'm not your guardian, well, your guardian has always been Betty, but Betty didn't pass it on to me before she died, and I have no right to order you."

"Emmeline, don't be angry......"

"Oh, you should call me Ms. Vance, Mr. Ode."

Brie had no choice but to stare at Emmeline with wide eyes, Emmeline shook her head helplessly, and waved to Brie without grace at all: "Okay, Mr. Brie, I think this is the end of our journey, this is supposed to be the work of the Hogwarts professors, but...... I don't think I hate it taking up my precious morning. ”

"Goodbye, Brie, take care of yourself, and if you regret it, feel free to write to me, you know my address."

"Goodbye, Emmeline, you take care of yourself, too."

A lifetime of softness, Emmeline used her magic to leave Diagon Alley, and Brie glared.

"Oh, what kind of magic is this, I hope I can learn it at Hogwarts."

Brie breathed a sigh of relief, it was great to feel unrestrained, and now Brie was able to organize her own plans in the time leading up to school.

First of all, he needs to take his small suitcase to the Leaky Cauldron Bar and where to book a room, hopefully not too bad.
