Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

This time when he left the orphanage, Xavier took a taxi by himself without anyone accompanying him.

Walking out of the orphanage alone for the first time, Xavier felt no joy in his heart. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of emptiness and loss.

Xavier did not look back, nor did he dare to look back. He knew that the dean must be looking at him, maybe at the door, maybe at the window upstairs.

Getting in the car and leaving, everything was so peaceful, the only thing that was not peaceful was my mood.

All the way to the candy store, the store manager was surprised by Xavier's appearance, but he didn't ask any questions. He seemed to sense that Xavier was in a bad mood.

After giving Xavier another handful of candies, the store manager helped Xavier open the door to Diagon Alley again.

This time, Xavier's face showed no ripples, no sadness or joy.

Entering Diagon Alley, Xavier went straight to the hotel. This was a hotel that Xavier had seen yesterday. It was precisely because of this that Xavier packed his bags and came here today.

Xavier decided to live here until he entered school, fully cooperating with Ollivander in his experiments, and striving to obtain the wand that best suited him.

Jingle ~

"Oh, Mr. Owen, you're really early. I'm just getting ready." Ollivander greeted him enthusiastically.

"I hope everything goes well. I paid a huge price for this experiment... although these prices will have to be paid sooner or later."

Xavier was still in a bad mood and glanced at the table. The table was filled with wand boxes and was two meters high.

Ollivander, on the other hand, seemed excited.

"It will go very smoothly, Mr. Owen. I thought about it all night last night, and I think it is very feasible! This will be a revolution that changes the entire magical world!"

Xavier:…

Your definition of the threshold for revolution is really low.

"I plan to conduct experiments by permuting and combining them. First, I will test wands with the same core material and the same length, so as to calculate the wand body material that is most suitable for you. Test the material combination that is most suitable for you first, and then go further. Test the ratio between them.”

"Try this one first. It's made of oak, with unicorn tail hair. It's eight inches long, straight and hard."

Control Variable?It's quite scientific.

Xavier took the wand and waved it under Ollivander's expectant gaze.

Nothing happened.

"It seems like this one doesn't work well...let's try this one, made of pine wood."

Ollivander snatched the wand from Xavier's hand and gave Xavier another wand.

However, after Xavier waved, there was still no response.

"It doesn't look like it...but it doesn't matter, I still have a lot of wands!"

After scratching his head, Ollivander took out another wand and handed it to Xavier.

Still not working.

After changing more than 20 wands in a row, until he changed to an ebony wand, Xavier finally caused a breeze after waving the wand.

Ollivander was excited, but soon fell into thought and rummaged among the wands.

After a while, Ollivander took out another wand and handed it to Xavier.

"If I'm not mistaken, this blackthorn wand will suit you well too."

Xavier took it and waved it.

Click!

A glass on the counter suddenly cracked.

"Sure enough..." Ollivander looked at Xavier with a complicated expression: "It seems there is no need to continue testing like this. Mr. Owen, you are not suitable for the core of the unicorn tail hair... We need to change the arrangement. The next test will be carried out in a combined manner.”

Xavier was stunned for a moment.

The tail hair of a unicorn, which symbolizes purity and holiness, doesn’t suit me?Am I that bad? ? ?

I haven't done anything bad!

"No, no, no, let's proceed according to the original plan. If all the tests are done, if it doesn't work, we can change to another plan... How can we change the test plan midway? If we continue to change it like this, I am afraid that no one can complete the test. Then The conclusion drawn must be one-sided!" Xavier hurriedly stopped him.

Ollivander looked solemn and nodded vigorously: "You are right, I am too impatient."

"Here, try this one again, it's made of poplar wood."

……

After a round of testing, two more responsive wands were successfully tested, which made Xavier sigh in relief.

The two wands are willow and laurel.

Although Xavier doesn’t have much research on the meaning of wood, Yanagi Xavier knows that this thing can ward off evil spirits!

...At least in the East it can ward off evil spirits.

However, even with the addition of two more woods, Ollivander still did not change his previous judgment. He still believed that unicorn tail hair and Xavier were not destined for each other.

"Mr. Owen, you don't have to worry about this. The wand made of unicorn tail hair does not represent holiness like the unicorn. The magic released by using it is just better at not being affected by black magic. But relatively Yes, it is difficult for it to have ultimate magical power, which means it is more...well...more..."

"Medium?" Xavier asked tentatively.

"Oh, yes! Moderate, that's it." Ollivander nodded immediately: "And Mr. Owen, you should be suitable for using a wand made of dragon nerves... phoenix feathers should be good too... and some other materials. of wands.”

Speaking of this, Ollivander smiled slightly.

"Although the wands I sell here are all made of unicorn tail hair, dragon nerves, and phoenix feathers, I also use other materials to make wands for research... Since this is an experiment, I might as well try them all."

"Try this wand, ebony wood, horse-shaped water monster mane wand core. This is the material my father used. To be honest, I don't think it is a qualified wand core material. Its magic power is a bit weak. ...However, this can be compensated to a certain extent by using the wood of the staff, so maybe you are suitable for it.”

Xavier nodded: "Okay, I'll try."

He took the wand and waved it, and suddenly a breeze came.

But this time both Xavier and Ollivander seemed calm, because both of them took it for granted.

The next step is to find out the wand core material that is most suitable for Xavier, rather than the wand core material that can be used. This step mainly depends on Ollivander's wand-making experience. Xavier's subjective use experience can only give Ollivander provided the reference.

However, after only waving three wands, Ollivander stopped because he believed that Xavier was not in a suitable condition to continue the experiment, and proposed that Xavier go back to rest and come back tomorrow.

Xavier did feel a little tired, so he agreed.

In the next few days, Xavier has been cooperating with Ollivander intermittently, and can experiment with 20 to 40 different wands every day. The specific number depends on Xavier's condition that day, and is determined by the experienced Ollivander.

It is relatively easy to infer the materials, but the remaining specific ratio is the most difficult. As Ollivander said, there is no identical staff core material in this world, nor is there exactly the same staff body material.

This would be a huge, time-consuming and laborious project, but Xavier had an idea and successfully shortened the construction period of the project.

Xavier spent a thousand pounds to hire a professor of mathematics to help analyze and calculate the numerous data obtained from the experiment.

Magic can also be very scientific!
