I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 157 The Alchemy of Ancient Fairies

"Are you here for maintenance of the wand? I remember the maintenance was done at this time last year." Ollivander said with some doubts.

"It's unbelievable, your memory is still so good." Ian flattered him without any trace, and then directly stated his intention. "I'm going to buy another wand as a spare."

"Buy another one? Isn't this one suitable now?" Ollivander frowned, but he didn't say anything more.Open the door to do business, and the wand is not an item prohibited by the Ministry of Magic, so he has no reason to refuse.

Seeing the silent Ian, Ollivander went behind the counter and took out a long and narrow box. "Try the root, fourteen feet, also made of acacia wood, with a core made of phoenix feathers."

……

Without the blessing of the original magic wand, Ian finally experienced the treatment that the protagonists only have - the wand embarrassment.

After experimenting with dozens of wands in a row, he finally chose the first one. According to Ollivander, only that wand barely fit him.

"Although this is your second wand, it is the first time you bought it from me. So, it's 7 Galleons." Ollivander wiped the sweat from his head, and said in a relaxed tone , Dozens of consecutive choices made him a little tired.

"Please wait!" Ian paid the bill and stopped Ollivander who was about to turn around. "I don't know if I can customize the wand. I will provide the core."

Perhaps considering that the wand just now was really not in hand, Ollivander said after a little consideration: "Well, in this case, customized services are really needed."

As he said that, Ollivander showed a little apology on his face. "However, this is not the price of the first wand. There is also a custom fee on top of the original wand. The full set is about 85 Galleons."

Ian nodded when he heard the words, expressing his approval, the price is very reasonable.Only the first wand of the little wizard will get a discount, and the Ministry of Magic will subsidize it. Otherwise, a unicorn feather is worth 10 galleons, and there are even more expensive phoenix feathers.

The price of a finished wand is only 7 galleons. Do you really think that the Ollivander family is a good family?

"Use this for the core of the stick." Ian said and took a hair from his head and handed it to the other party.

This was a decision he had considered over and over again. The three awakenings of his bloodline made him more similar to the phoenix to a certain extent, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was half a magical creature.

The moment Ollivander took the hair, he understood the reason.Let him swallow the words of how to refuse that he just thought of.Making wands all the year round has made him extremely sensitive to materials, and he knows very well what can be used as a wand core.

Ollivander gave Ian a meaningful look, and then said in a normal tone: "Okay, in a week, before school starts, you can come and get a new wand."

……

After saying goodbye to Ollivander, Ian walked down the street with some ease.After half a month of mutually corroborating learning with Hermione, he has a better understanding of ancient goblin alchemy, especially the disappearing cabinet involving the space field.

This made him a little uneasy about the magic wand he found in the last days.Granted, it's safe for now, and it might even stay safe.

But Ian was never willing to keep hidden dangers, and he vaguely had some guesses in his heart, but the current knowledge reserve was not enough to confirm his guesses, which made him not act rashly.

But this does not affect his preparations in advance, at least change to a convenient wand first.

"Time... hey!" Ian sighed inwardly.

Facing the current situation, he is also a little powerless.As the research deepens, the more he knows, the more he can discover the strangeness of things, and also discover his own shortcomings.But there is never a shortcut to the accumulation of knowledge, it needs to be accumulated over time.

……

In the last week before school, Diagon Alley once again presented a lively scene.And Ian's candy shop opened for the first time as he wished. Although he didn't care about these things anymore, he still toasted with Hermione.

Hermione also realized that running a store is still very difficult, especially if the store is still in a remote alley.

The half hour after lunch was usually his time to chat with Hermione, and it was also one of the few free times.In the rest of the time, although they were in the same room, they didn't have much time to communicate. After all, the alchemy of ancient goblins was too complicated.

"What do you think of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Hermione put down the Daily Prophet in her hand, and there was a report on Gilderoy Lockhart's appointment as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this school year.

Ian glanced at it and saw Lockhart's triumphant photo in the newspaper, as well as the eight white teeth showing in a standard smile, and said, "He is a very good businessman."

"Businessman?" Hermione tilted her head in doubt. "Why not a good adventurer?"

Regarding Lockhart, Ian didn't intend to reveal the old truth, but he also didn't intend to pay too much attention to it.Since you choose to be a spectator, then be a qualified spectator, and there is no need to make trouble for Director Dumbledore.

"Who knows, I don't know him well anyway, but it is said that his novels are selling well."

Hermione shrugged undeniably.

"What about here? Will it close after we go to school?" In Hermione's mind, the business of the candy store was more important than Lockhart.

Ian stretched his waist to relieve the stiff shoulders.Then he said in a relaxed tone:

"There is a high probability that the store will not be closed. I have already asked Old Tom to help me find a reliable clerk, and I will hand it over to him during school."

"Well, well, as long as you have an arrangement." Hermione didn't object to this. "Want to see my latest research results?"

Hearing Hermione's casual tone and casual question, he sat up straight in an instant.He knew Hermione too well, the more indifferent his tone, the more he cared about this matter.

For this, he once paid a painful price, in short, it was all tears of heartache...

"Then what are you waiting for, bring it to me and have a look."

Looking at Ian who was full of expectations, Hermione didn't say much, got up and went to the room to get her research results.

……

Ian looked at the ordinary brown box on the table with some doubts, and was urged by Hermione's eyes to open it immediately.

The moment I opened the box, a childish voice came from inside: "...it's been opened, you don't even know how dark my life is, especially you, this evil and yearning witch, don't think that I I didn't see what you wrote in your diary..."

Before he finished speaking, Hermione quickly closed the box again, and the voice disappeared.

Looking at Hermione whose cheeks were slightly flushed, he decisively pretended not to hear, and changed the subject and said, "By the way, I remembered that I still have an appointment with Old Tom later, so I'll be leaving first."

But... Hermione is not stupid. Seeing such a poor excuse, not only did she not expose it, but she nodded in agreement.

After Ian walked out of the gate, he said to himself with some emotion: "The alchemy activation technique of ancient goblins? Hermione, you are indeed delayed by two fools."
