Obscure at Hogwarts

Facing the question raised by Ollivander, Louis' expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was somewhat speechless in his heart.

Why... someone who is like a reclusive master likes to ask some incomprehensible questions to everyone he meets?

Could it be that, as one of the best staff makers in the HP world, Ollivander is really a bit mentally retarded?

Maybe.

Anyway, Louis felt that the question raised by Ollivander at this time was a very unnutritious question.

If there were no wizards in this world, the only use of wands might be to buy two and make do with them as chopsticks.

Therefore, needless to say, the answer hidden in Louis' heart must be the argument of a wizard when choosing a wand.

of course.

Based on his limited understanding of the HP world, Louis knew that Ollivander's argument was exactly the opposite of his, and that the theory he advocated was that the wand selected the wizard.

When answering the questions he asked, Louis felt that it would be better to be more reserved, so he answered as if he didn't answer the question:

"Sir, I prefer being up there."

"Up there?"

Ollivander nodded thoughtfully, a hint of reminiscence gradually appeared in his eyes, and after a long silence, he suddenly sighed:

"Mr. Rogers, sometimes...it feels good down there."

Louis: "..."

I guess you are a person with a story!

While Louis was silent, Ollivander shook his head and smiled, and asked: "Let's talk about the wand, Mr. Rogers, what is your dominant hand?"

"right."

"Wait a minute, let me take your measurements."

Ollivander used a tape measure to measure Louis' size, from shoulder to fingertips, and from wrist to elbow. Louis had a vague illusion that he was not here to buy a wand, but to have a waistcoat made at Ollivander's place.

A few minutes later, Ollivander measured Louis' size and said with a confident smile: "In my shop, every Ollivander wand has extraordinary magical substances. This is precisely their essence."

As he spoke, Ollivander pointed his finger seemingly casually, and one of the thousands of boxes in the shop floated in the air and fell into his hand.

Opening the square box, Ollivander took out his wand and introduced:

"Mr. Rogers, 13 inches, rosewood, unicorn feathers, you try it."

"okay!"

Taking the wand from Ollivander, Louis gently held it in the palm of his hand. As the magic power was input into the wand with great precision, he slowly closed his eyes and carefully felt that part of the magic power. Variety.

the other side.

Seeing that Louis held the wand for a long time without any response from the wand, Ollivander frowned slightly, then summoned the box again, took out another wand, and told Louis to try another wand.

"12 inches, walnut wood, fire dragon tendon... No, no, no!"

"10 inches, ebony, snake nerve... No, no!"

"13 inches, golden silk wood, Veela hair... no, no, no!"

"…………"

after an hour.

At the rate of changing one wand every three seconds, Louis Zero-Zero always changed hundreds of wands for testing. Unfortunately, the results all ended in failure in Ollivander's eyes, which made him a little desperate.

However, just when Ollivander was hesitant to tell Louis that he was probably a squib, Louis suddenly stepped forward and picked up the 13-inch long holly wood stick. , a wand made from the heart of a fire dragon, smiled and said:

"Sir, I think this wand is more suitable for me. How many galleons do I need?"

"Mr. Rogers, are you...sure?"

Ollivander glanced at Louis suspiciously, but he clearly remembered that when Louis used this wand, it had no effect!

But as a businessman, ahem...

You like it.

In the end, Louis asked Sophia for 13 gold galleons, bought a suitable wand from Ollivander, and received a calfskin case for holding the wand as a gift, and then he showed off a little at Ollivander. He left the store with confused eyes.

"Maybe that little guy wants to prove... that he's not a squib!"

Watching Louis disappear in front of the store, Ollivander thought with a slightly pitiful expression.

After buying the wand, Louis naturally ignored him lazily.

In fact, if time permits, Louis would rather stay in Ollivander's store for a while to see if there are any wands with a higher magic power increase among the other wands stored in his store.

That's right.

Magical power increase.

Louis had previously stayed in Ollivander's shop, testing the results of countless wands.

Maybe Ollivander's argument is right. Wizards in the HP world do not have the right to choose wands, but wands choose wizards. This may be related to the source of magic power for most wizards.

Judging from Louis' personal feeling, the guys who can use magic in the HP world are more like blood warlocks than wizards. The magic power contained in their bodies is most likely to come from some kind of magic. biology.

Specifically, what did the wizard ancestors and magical creatures in the HP world do, and what methods were used to awaken the magic power in their descendants. Louis, who had read the memory fragments of stray cats in heat, expressed no interest.

The only thing that interests Louis at this time is that he can use any wand at will and choose as much as he wants. Is it related to his special way of practicing magic!

Holding every wand in Ollivander's shop, Louis can control the magic output at will. The difference is that each wand increases his magic power slightly differently.

The magic wand has a smaller increase in magic power, about 10%-15%.

The magic power increase of most wands is above 20% and below 30%.

In the end, the wand Louis selected at Ollivander's was the only wand among the tested wands whose magic power increased by more than 40%, floating between 43% and 46%.

Therefore, the wand feels more like a piece of equipment to Louis than a necessity for casting magic.

It means...

Can any spell Louis masters in the future be cast without a wand?

Maybe.

Louis didn't think much about it for the time being.

After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Louis, accompanied by Jason and Sophia, first bought some sundries needed to go to Hogwarts, such as three sets of plain work robes (black) , a plain pointed hat (black) worn during the day, protective gloves (made of dragon skin or similar materials), and crystal vials and the like.

After Ling Ling had finished shopping for all the groceries, the highlight came on, which was the magic book that Louis urgently needed.

Flourish and Blotts is located next door to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop.

In Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, if Louis were to buy books according to his personal wishes, he would only have books like "The Magic of Baking Bread", "Magic on Your Cheese", "Quidditch" and other books that were completely useless to him. Besides, I want to read every other book.

Especially the "Standard Spells" series written by Miranda Gorshak and the "Transfiguration Guide" series written by Adebe Woflin. Louis wanted to buy the complete set and keep it at home to read it all at once. book series.

However, the wizarding world has a better sense of copyright, and the prices of books about magic are slightly higher. The Galleons that Jason exchanged for pounds from Gringotts were not enough, so Louis could only buy the textbooks for the first grade of Hogwarts. Finally, he reluctantly left Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.

"It's ok."

Before preparing to leave Diagon Alley and go home, Louis secretly thought to himself:

"When I have time to come back to Diagon Alley, I will simply spend time in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Regardless of whether I can understand the knowledge points recorded in the book, I will first memorize the contents of each book."

With this thought, Louis' resentment about not having enough Galleons has undoubtedly been reduced a lot.

However, just before leaving Diagon Alley, Louis was about to experiment with simply casting magic to see if he could open the door back to the Leaky Cauldron without a wand. Suddenly, Louis heard Jason and Sophia. An enthusiastic voice said:

"Hey!"

"Sorry, please wait!"

"Are you Muggles?"
