Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Wand and the Fate of the Wizard
At the Ollivander shop, Ron buys his new wand. It was still a lot of failures before it was finally recognized by this wand.
Maple, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but wonder if anyone had just chosen once here and just happened to be approved by the wand.
Ron's wand is wicker with a unicorn's tail hair inside.
Unicorn fur usually casts the most stable spells and is the least likely to experience large fluctuations. But they are also the most loyal of wands, usually clinging to their first master, regardless of their talents.
And this wand has a heart from a kind unicorn, and it is also the least likely of all wands to give in to the dark magic that symbolizes sin and terror, which is very much in line with the personality of the Ron family, and the old wand of Charlie before him was also unicorn hair.
However, the heart of the unicorn hair can sometimes resemble an angry child, and they may become worried after being treated badly by their owner, in which case the unicorn hair may "wither" until it loses its magical powers, in which case the heart of the staff needs to be replaced. A unicorn's hairy wand may be as sensitive as a unicorn that is afraid of being harmed, and they need more care from their owners.
And wicker has healing powers, and is a very unusual wand wood. And the owner of the wicker wand is usually very insecure, which is the case with Ron, and then the owner of the other wicker wand, Lily Potter, who is Harry's mother, seems to be the same before entering school.
Muggle-born wizards were always insecure, especially in the old days. So Lily Potter actually relied on Snape, the first to give her security, until he said that damn name.
Yes, Snape may have had what he has been longing for later, just like Tie Xinlan in the peerless twins' original thoughts about Xiao Yu'er, but the person concerned didn't realize how important it was to him at first, until it was lost and irretrievable, and finally realized it, but he already regretted it, and it could only become a dream of regret for a lifetime and the deepest pain that could not be forgotten.
But none of the wizards chosen by the wicker wand lack potential, or the most potential, are the ones that the saying goesβ
You will have great achievements in the future, you will be very awesome, but now you are still a waste of wood.
You have a lot of room for development, and your future achievements are limitless, but for now, you are still a scumbag!
Lily Potter ended up activating that ancient magic with her own sacrifice, bounced off the Dark Lord's killing curse, and she was the first hero to defeat the Dark Lord, albeit at the cost of death.
And Ron, after overcoming the weakness of his character, also showed extraordinary talent several times, destroying a Horcrux, and at the same time opening the secret room by imitating the Parseltongue cavity, allowing Hermione to destroy another Horcrux with the fangs of the basilisk Basrisk.
The wand's choice of wizards is not only due to the wizard's talents, but also to their destiny that is closely aligned with them.
Harry's wand is the Higashi-Aoki phoenix feather, and the heart of the phoenix feather is the most picky about the choice of its owner, because the phoenix is a very independent and isolated creature, even the Dumbledore family, which is closely connected to the phoenix, not every generation has people who have been loyal and recognized by the phoenix.
Therefore, it is also the hardest to get the recognition of the phoenix wand, the wand of the phoenix feather can perform the most kinds of magic, and it is also the rarest kind of wand, and all the people who get the phoenix wand are all extraordinary existences.
Holly wood is characterized by its precision, so it is often used as a weapon. Harry had been in the battle since he took the wand, and he hadn't had a year to live in. However, holly wood is not full of powerful destructive power like purple shirt wood, its characteristics are more of a symbol of fighting, guarding, and fighting against evil.
Purple shirt contains poisonous sap, so purple shirt wood is often associated with magic and death. When the outer layer of the old tree dies, a new tree continues to grow from the center, so it is considered the "Immortal Tree".
Holly is a symbol of death and rebirth, while the Purple Shirt was used by the Celtic priests as a symbol of immortality and immortality, similar to the fate of Harry and Voldemort.
Snape's wand is birch, the oldest tree in the forest and widely used to ward off evil spirits, which is said to have a sacred and beautiful temperament. If Voldemort hadn't captured Ollivander and tortured Harry's wand for information and the elder's wand, he might have been able to discover more, for example, that Snape would never have succumbed to the fate of darkness.
Perhaps because of the use of birch to ward off evil, it also foreshadowed Snape's fate to dance with demons.
There's also Hermione's wand, the tendon cord of the vine and the dragon's heart. Generally speaking, the wands made by the dragon's nerves are the most powerful and the spells cast are the most dazzling. And compared to other wands, it has a stronger learning ability and a high degree of compatibility with its owner.
These are very similar to Hermione's temperament.
Grapevine wands are peculiar and of great interest, and the owners they choose are almost always ambitious and visionary, and the hidden personality is strongly attracted to wands of this material, and they are more sensitive to the wand owner than any wand made of wood.
Hermione eventually became Minister of Magic, which was linked to her fate.
Neville Longbottom, another important figure who was also involved in the destruction of the Horcruxes, was finally chosen by the wand of a cherry dragon's nerves, Neville was serious and was the fastest learner of Harry's DA besides Hermione, which was in line with the dragon's nerve strength. Cherry wood is a rare wood, and wands made from any wand are lethal, but wielding such a wand requires superior self-control and a strong enough wizard to do so.
It was also after completely overcoming the shadow of his childhood and finding the courage hidden in his heart that Neville finally had a great achievement.
The staff chooses the right wizard's talent and character, and the staff seems to foreshadow the future fate of the master to some extent, which can be called another sorting hat.
After coming out of Ollivander's wand shop, the four of them wandered the winding streets of Diagon Alley, and Harry offered to pay for some large strawberry peanut ice cream. Harry noticed the broomstick's newest Halo 2001 Broomstick, and Ron stared at the full Chadley artillery uniforms on display in the Quidditch boutique.
But Hermione pulls them to buy ink and parchment, and they see Fred George and Lee Jordan buying a lot of Dr. Labor's magical fireworks that can automatically ignite and bloom at the Magic Joke Shop in Diagon Alley.
Later, they see Percy in a thrift store reading a very boring book, How Prefects Gain Power.
"The prefects of Hogwarts and their careers since they left school," Ron read aloud the note on the back cover, "sounds quite appealing!" β
"Go away." Percy said angrily.
Looking at Ron like this, not only the Weasley brothers, but even he has a lot of opinions about Percy, an older brother who doesn't care about his brother and family. After leaving Percy, Ron told Maple about Percy's ambitions as Minister of Magic.
"I don't think Percy could become the Minister of Magic, he only saw power in his eyes, and he longed to have the power of the Minister of Magic, but he didn't think about what he would do as Minister of Magic for the people and the wizarding world."
"Didn't he think about it, is the current wizarding world so good that it can't be changed?"
"It's not that your father has repeatedly called for a fair environment and treatment for Muggle-born wizards like Hermione and me, and to protect the power of Muggle-born wizards, but he has never received a positive response. Also from a pure-blooded background, your father is not lacking in ability, and his mana is much stronger than that of the Aurors I have encountered. β
"More than half of the wizarding world is Muggle-born, and your father's hard work and persistence were right. But his efforts were not reciprocated, and his future was implicated. β
"It can be seen that although the wizarding world no longer shouts for pure-blood supremacy, those in power still have a terrible prejudice against us Muggle-born wizards."
Percy never cared or paid attention to any of this, and there was nothing wrong with his desire to get out of poverty and prove his abilities. But he only wants to be one of those who have wealth and power to make your family poor, and he doesn't care about his brother. β
"Maybe he still thinks in his heart that it is his family that makes him poor and makes him not get the decent land he wants!"
"How is that possible, how could Percy think that?" Hermione said incredulously.
"Have you been noticed, when Fred and the others borrowed Harry's money just now, everyone listened to the happy ones, only Percy, who not only didn't seem to be happy, but on the contrary, embarrassed!" Maple said.
In fact, Percy's betrayal of the family in the back showed signs a long time ago.
"You seem to be talking about it too!" Hermione thought for a moment before agreeing, and Ron nodded his head in agreement with Maple at the beginning.
"It's very uncomfortable to be poor, for example, I can't eat such delicious cream ice cream at any time. But poverty is not a sin, Ron, and there is no need to be sad about it. And your father, who would rather be poor than change his original intentions and beliefs, is a very admirable person.
Speaking of which, Harry's money wasn't earned by himself, and Hermione and I were both Muggle-born. By the time we graduate from Year 7 and we can no longer exchange pounds for wizard coins from the elves, we may be poorer than you.
In a sense, we're all on the same page. β
"So, let's work together! And, Harry, you are not short of money, but if you just squander your family assets after graduation, our good friends will look down on you! β
"Of course I won't!" Harry said busily.
"Thank you, Maple!" Turning the subject up like this, Ron seemed to be much more cheerful.
"Come, let's stretch out our hands!" Maple said as several people reached out their hands, then pressed against each other, "Shout out, we're friends forever, Oye!" β
"We are friends forever!"
"Oh yes!" After the word was shouted together, they felt indescribable joy and excitement in their hearts, and cheered together.
