Chapter 19: The Mystery of the Wand

The final exams are held normally, and then the summer vacation begins.

Summer vacation meant a relaxing time for the students, and Lockhart received an important letter.

Send:

Member Gilderoy Lockhart

Mr. Garrick Ollivander needs to make a new wand, and he has recently applied to the various departments to hunt down a dragon, which has been approved, and due to the lack of manpower, I hope you will take time out of your busy schedule to go to the entourage to supervise.

Anti-Dark Arts Alliance

As a member, I have to do things, and it seems that my travel plans for this summer vacation have come to naught.

There was also a thank you letter from Sirius, thanking Lockhart for what he had done to clear his name, and hoping that Lockhart would take better care of Harry.

A personal letter from the Minister of Magic gave him a ticket to the Quidditch World Cup, and in reality, Lockhart had an Auror certificate, but he had not done anything commendable during his time as an Auror, nor did he have a personal relationship with Fudge.

Maybe it's to keep me shut down? Let me not go around talking about Sirius?, Lockhart thought to himself.

Lockhart now has to go to Ollivanders, who will be on his way to Atlantis in a few days, and Lockhart will need to oversee them legally killing a dragon and making a batch of wands out of dragon materials, which are strictly controlled in the wizarding world.

When wizards first appeared in humans, there were no magic wands, and many creatures such as elves and goblins were much more powerful than human wizards because of their natural magical affinity, and they were in a transcendent position.

Eventually, a great wizard invented a wand, which made humans more magically friendly, and at the same time, because the wand kept the source away from the human body, allowing the wizard to use destructive spells and some evil spells, (if you cast a destructive spell with your body, you can also be injured, and if you cast Avada with your body, you will die) and the spell will be more powerful.

Humanity refuses to share the mysteries of the wand with other races, and uses war to bring other races into submission. Completely wiped out the elves and other races, and turned the remaining mongrel elves into human slaves - house-elves. The goblins agreed to serve humanity to keep their positions low, and the other chaotic magical creatures were driven off the beaten track to survive.

All the goblin rebellions in history have occurred because the goblins proposed to share the secret of the wand and were rejected, although the elves are much more powerful in magic than humans, but in front of humans with wands, they have to take the initiative to stop the war every time.

Today's wands, each of which is made of zuò, are subject to strict supervision. First of all, many precious wand materials must be collected under the supervision of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the wand is not suitable for use by races other than humans, and then, after the wand is made, it must be sent to the Ministry of Magic for registration, and the following processes are carried out: with positioning magic, memory magic, and traces. These spells make it possible for the Ministry of Magic to keep a record when someone uses an unforgivable spell or when an underage wizard violates the spell. And you can use certain spells to find out the spells that have been released by the wand, and finally return them to the maker for sale.

Of course, these enchantments can still be removed, and some ancient wands don't have these restrictions, but neither of these is something that ordinary wizards can do. Of course, the Ministry of Magic will know about these enchantments immediately, so no one will do it unless you decide to go into hiding, or prepare to fight against the Ministry.

When Lockhart met at the agreed port, he found that most of the people had already arrived. There were two people in the crowd whom Lockhart also knew, the wandmaker Ollivander and the Auror Fadora Tonks.

"Aha, little Mr. Gilderoy has arrived, I remember very well the way you came to my shop to buy a wand, and now you are a well-known person. Ollivander said affectionately.

"Hello Lockhart-senpai, it's a pleasure to come out on a mission with you. Tonks seemed a little nervous, and his hair turned black.

After greeting Tonks and the others present, Lockhart whispered directly to Ollivander: "Master, I think my wand seems to be a little out of my hand, if it is convenient, I would like to ask you to change it for me." ”

Ollivander seemed surprised and said: "Of course, no problem, in fact, many wizards will change their wands when they become adults, because of the change in their casting habits, and this wand of yours has been used for almost twenty years, I thought you would have changed it a long time ago." ”

Lockhart was a little embarrassed, no one had ever told him that he should change his wand. "Thanks, I'll visit you when it's over, and change my wand. ”

"No problem, good boy, just mention anything you need. ”

On the way, Tonks and Lockhart talked, and during the conversation, Lockhart learned that this Auror was still his younger student, but when she entered the school, Lockhart had already graduated.

Tonks is quite pretty, and Lockhart is also interested in the only disguised Maggs that appears in the original book, and Tonks's lively and outgoing personality is also very much to Lockhart's taste. Tonks also admires Lockhart, a handsome and legendary senior plus former Auror, and asks Lockhart every day to tell him his adventure story, and in return, Tonks becomes what Lockhart wants to see. Within a few days, Lockhart, who likes to blow up, and Tonks, who likes to listen to him, talk about everything like friends for many years.

After a few days of sailing, the group arrived at the Atlantis islands, which were all subjected to the powerful Muggle Expulsion Charm and Confusion Charm, which in Muggle eyes were desert islands. At the same time, the island is guarded, and even if a Muggle lands on the island, it will be driven away after being erased.
