The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

In Diagon Alley, Link was walking through the crowd.

Today is the second day of the Hogwarts holiday, so there are a lot of people in Diagon Alley, and a large part of them are wizards who come with their children for shopping and dinner.

The merchants in Diagon Alley are obviously prepared for this.

Just like the Jumping Magic Joke Shop that Link just passed by, a magic banner was displayed at the door, with letters that kept flashing forming a sentence.

'Are you still worried about not having fun?Are you still annoyed by being bullied by your classmates and friends?Come in, the Jumping Magic Joke Shop will meet all your needs, and everything is 8% off today! '

Such slogans are undoubtedly vulgar, but they are also very useful. This can be seen from the crowded scene in the Jumping Magic Joke Shop.

Also doing the same are Florin's Cold Drinks Shop, Quidditch Boutique, Magic Zoo, and Mrs. Primpine's Beauty and Potion Shop, etc., and they have also gained a lot of customers.

This made Link feel a little emotional.

Whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, women and children really have the best money.

But not all the shops in Diagon Alley are doing well today.

Take the store in front of Link now as an example. Compared with the bustling scene in front of other stores, the front of this store can be described as empty.

But Link didn't leave the store in a hurry like the others, but looked at it carefully.

The shop looked small and shabby, and the gold-lettered sign on the door had peeled off. It read: "Ollivanders: Making Fine Wands Since 380 BC."

And in the shop window, a solitary wand sat on a faded purple cushion.The space in the store is not large, except for a bench in the corner, there is nothing else.Thousands of long, narrow cardboard boxes containing wands were stacked from floor to ceiling, leaving a thin layer of dust everywhere.

The most important thing is that there is no one sitting inside.

But there is no doubt that this is the famous Ollivander's Wand Shop in the original work, and it is also the destination of Link's trip.

Link came here not for any sightseeing, but to change his wand.

The wand in his hand was inherited from its original owner.

Although it can be used, Link always feels a sense of jerkiness in daily use. In short, it is not smooth.

And this feeling seemed to become more and more serious after he defeated Quirrell and Voldemort.

It was obvious that Link needed to replace his wand, as the current wand no longer suited him.

Taking a deep breath, Link opened the door and walked in.

"Jingle Bell!"

The golden bell above the door rang as Link opened the door, and along with the ringing, there was a series of sounds of heavy objects falling and knocking things over from behind the counter.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with messy gray hair climbed up from behind the counter in a very embarrassed manner.

He seemed to have just woken up. He stared at Link for a while and then said:

"Welcome, guest. Oh! What does a little wizard who has never been here need?"

Link raised his eyebrows and said:

"A new wand."

"New wand? Sorry, I don't think you already have one?" Ollivander pointed to the handle of the wand vaguely exposed on the cuff of Link's right hand and said, "And this is not a wand made by me. Don't doubt it, kid. Ollivander remembers every wand he sold, and if you've ever been here, I'm sure you'll remember it."

"is it?"

Ollivander's answer surprised Link.

He originally thought that his wand should be bought from Ollivander like everyone else. After all, Ollivander is the most famous wand maker in the country, but the fact seems not to be what he imagined.

"Can I see it?"

Ollivander pointed to Link's wand and said, and upon hearing this, Link did not refuse and directly took off the wand and handed it over.

Ollivander looked a little weird as he carefully took the wand. He gently touched Link's wand as if he were a lover, and even leaned in to smell it from time to time.

Link felt that if it weren't for the presence of his original owner, Ollivander might still want to go up and lick it.

As the examination progressed, the expression on Ollivander's face gradually relaxed.

"Larch wood, dragon's nerve, ten and a quarter inches long. Oh! What amazing craftsmanship, I promise, this is definitely the work of my grandfather, no one but him could have made such a powerful wand." Ollivander said with a smile, "At the same time, I also remembered that a few years ago, Mrs. Foley spent a lot of money to buy a larch wand from a collector. It was said to be for her son. . If I guessed correctly, you should be the child of the Foley family, right?"

Link's eyes lit up slightly. In fact, he had already had some suspicions from when Ollivander said that this wand was not sold by him.

But now it seems that he thought well.

The wand he used was indeed specially obtained by Mrs. Foley, and according to Ollivander's words, it seemed to be a very powerful wand.

But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to fit Link himself.

At this time, Ollivander seemed to be a little emotional, and he said to Link seriously:

"Your mother must love you very much. Larch wood wands can slowly inject courage and confidence into their owners. Such a reputation and the extremely high difficulty of making have made this kind of wands always in short supply. And the reason why Mrs. Foley chose it As your magic wand, it must be trying to make you braver and more confident."

"is it?"

Link said softly, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

He also felt Mrs. Foley's love for the original owner personally, but unfortunately, even with such a mother who loved him, the original owner was eventually replaced by Link.

What a tragedy.

At this time, Ollivander seemed to be freed from his feelings. He changed the topic and asked:

"So kid, why do you want to change your wand?"

"Because I feel like it's not suitable for me, and it's hard for me to feel this way..."

Link explained truthfully, but he was interrupted by Ollivander just in the middle of his words.

"Oh! No need to explain, I understand, I understand everything. In fact, the relationship between the wand and the wizard is not as simple as it seems. Not only the wizard will choose the wand, but the wand itself will also choose the owner that suits him. If the wand doesn't identify with you, it's hard for you to use its full power."

"Unfortunately, although witches and wizards chosen by larch wands do have important latent talents brought out in them, mastering a larch wand is also more difficult than many people imagine. Especially you. Dragon nerves are also added to this wand, which does make it more powerful, but it also greatly increases the difficulty of mastering it."
