Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 4 The wand chooses the wizard

No matter what, I still had to buy the wand. Kyle opened the door carefully and walked in.

 Diana and Chris did not go with them, probably because they thought it would take a long time to buy a wand, so after learning that Kyle was going to Ollivander first, they diverted to Gringotts.

 …

The store is much better than the outside. Although it still looks old and the items are messy, it is at least much cleaner.

With the crisp sound of wind chimes, a gray-bearded head appeared behind the counter without knowing when.

 “Good afternoon, child.”

Ollivander looked at Kyle and asked inexplicably: "Did you come alone?"

“Yes.” Kyle asked in confusion: “Is there any problem?”

Ollivander shook his head and said: "No, of course not."

 As he spoke, Kyle vaguely saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Strange, when customers come to your door, why should they be disappointed?

“You must have read it wrongly.” Kyle shook his head and didn’t think much about it.

 “Okay, little wizard.”

Ollivander came out from behind the counter and asked, "So, kid, can you tell me your name?"

 “Kyle, Chopper.” Kyle said quickly.

 “Chopper…” Ollivander was slightly startled and said, “Then Mr. Chris is…”

 “My father.” Kyle said.

"Oh, of course..." Ollivander subconsciously glanced outside the store door, but quickly retracted his gaze and explained: "I mean, after all, in the British and wizarding world, the surname Chopper is rare. ."

 Confirmed, this old man is indeed disappointed!

Kyle saw it clearly. Just when he said that Chris was his father, the disappointment in Ollivander's eyes almost overflowed.

Not only that, he also started to mumble something in his mouth, repeating the words "Yanagi, Tochigi, etc." The voice was too soft, Kyle didn't hear it clearly, but he didn't care.

 At this time, Kyle’s mind was full of his own wand, so he didn’t have the mood to care about whether it was available or not.

 After announcing his name, Kyle took the initiative and said: "Mr. Ollivander, I am accustomed to using my right hand."

 After speaking, he stretched out his arms straightly so that Ollivander could measure his height and arms.

 He knows the process here very well.

 After measuring the data, you should choose the wand, which is also the most time-consuming part.

There are eight thousand wands here, not ten thousand. In Kyle's opinion, even Ollivander would have a hard time finding a wand that matches the little wizard at a glance. He can only choose a rough range, and then one Give it a try.

 He is ready.

And trying the magic wand is one of the things Kyle wants to do, just like moving the trash can.

However, Ollivander's next words made Kyle a little confused.

 “Oh, child, if it’s you, you don’t need it.”

Next, without measuring his height or asking for any details, Kyle just watched Ollivander walk into the counter, quickly pulled out a box from the most conspicuous position, then opened it and pushed it to Kyle before.

The movements were done in one go, without any hesitation in between. “What are you waiting for? Give it a try!”

Seeing that Kyle didn't move, Ollivander couldn't help but urge.

"Huh? Oh, okay." Kyle came back to his senses and subconsciously picked up the wand in the box.

 Gray black, the appearance is very smooth, without any extra lines or accessories except the necessary handles.

Looks quite popular.

Kyle held the wand, and without waiting for any movement, a burst of white light spurted out from the tip of the wand, filling the entire room in the blink of an eye. The originally dark and closed shop suddenly became much brighter, as if it was in the room. There is a skylight on the top.

 “Okay, great.”

Ollivander looked very excited. Without waiting for Kyle to ask, he said to himself: "Thirteen and one-half inches, cedar wood, phoenix feathers. I have to say, this is a very magical combination. ."

 “A magical combination?” Kyle was a little puzzled.

 “Yes, amazing.”

Ollivander looked at Kyle and explained patiently: "Cedar wands usually choose wizards who are wise and have keen insight. These wizards are naturally calm, and every choice they make is carefully considered. Result. As my father once said, you can never fool a man with a cedar wand, and I agree."

“Therefore, people who own cedar wands tend to prefer unicorn tail feathers that are stable and loyal, while phoenix tail feathers are a bit too aggressive.

In fact I made and sold a total of thirty-six cedar wands, thirty of which had unicorn tail hair cores, five had dragon heart tendons, and the last one..."

Ollivander did not speak, but pointed at Kyle with a smile.

Kyle was puzzled: "But sir, didn't you say that these two materials are not suitable to go together? Then why are you still making it?"

"The material is not suitable, so it is not made? No, no, no, this is wrong. The wand chooses the wizard, child. Every wand will choose its destined master after its birth, just like they..."

Ollivander pointed to the hill-like wand box behind him and said with a smile: "The reason why they are still here is not because they are bad, but because the fate has not come yet. Their owner is just waiting for Huo Huo." Where’s Gwartz’s owl?”

Ollivander paused and continued: "In addition, the completely contradictory wand body and wand core can perfectly play their respective roles in the hands of a wizard. This is also the most fascinating part of wand science.

It's like the magic wand in your hand. Your father, Chris, tried it, your mother, Diane, tried it, but they were just a little bit off, just a little bit.

 So after hearing the news of your birth, I have been waiting for this day. It is perfect, isn't it? "

 Um...hmm.

Kyle nodded subconsciously.

The feeling of being able to use his fingers like an arm in his hand really made him a little obsessed, and he naturally couldn't put it down for the wand in his hand.

 Although the process was somewhat different from what he expected, the result was still good. Kyle was very satisfied with his wand.

 “Seven Galleons, then, child.”

Ollivander smiled obviously wider.

"Okay." Kyle took out the seven gold galleons he had prepared and put them on the counter.

The first wand for a new student usually costs seven galleons, which is already a very favorable price in the wizarding world, but this discount only applies to young wizards who have just entered school.

After paying the money, Ollivander bowed slightly and watched Kyle leave. Then he turned to look at the other little wizard who had just entered the store and the adults following him.

 “Oh, I met Mr. Thomas again, eleven inches, hawthorn...”
