Chinese students at Hogwarts.
Chapter 5 The calm before school starts
Ollivander stopped, he slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Chengdao, and said solemnly
"Not every kind of tree and wand core can be used to make a wand. In the past, people still believed that water monster hair and beards were the best wand materials.
But Ollivander proves they're not. "
Zhang Chengdao did not refute, but instead took out a delicate wooden box from a Qiankun bag, placed it in front of the table, and made a gesture of invitation gracefully.
Zhang Xiao was confused at this moment. Is Taoism so particular?
Even the wand had to be customized, but at this moment, he was full of curiosity and couldn't help but move forward to see what materials his father had come up with.
Ollivander looked at the wooden box with a scrutinizing gaze, then gently opened it. He only glanced at it and could no longer take his eyes away.
He lowered his head, as if it was pressed against the wood, his expression became focused and fanatical, and he said softly
"Merlin! What did I see? Beautiful, elegant, mysterious and unbelievable. I actually saw violent lightning in a piece of wood!
I remember, yes I remember, writing in my grandfather's notes, 'Although we have tried most of the woods in the world, there are still some that are rare and cannot be found. '(Note 1)
For example, he once heard that in ancient China, there was a kind of wood that was very precious and rare. It was called jujube wood that was struck by lightning. "
Ollivander raised his head with anticipation in his eyes. As a pure wand master, nothing excites him more than rare wood and wand cores.
Zhang Chengdao gave a thumbs up and said in admiration
"You are indeed a master. You are right. This is a lightning-struck jujube tree, and it is a thousand-year-old lightning-struck jujube tree! Well, it grows in a specific place and sprouts again after being struck by lightning."
Oh my god! Thousands of years of lightning struck jujube wood? Or is it the kind where dead trees bloom in Feng Shui treasure land? The buff stack is full!
Zhang Xiao was speechless. In his previous life, because of his wife, he had contact with both Buddhism and Taoism. Most of the thousand-year-old lightning-strike jujube trees sold on the market are fake and are made by soaking them with high-voltage electricity. .
Just this small string of bracelets can be sold for thousands. The real magic weapon-level Millennium Lightning Strike Jujube will not be sold at all. It is too late to use it to make your own pottery and use it as a family heirloom!
Not to mention the lightning strike jujube wood that satisfies the three major elements at the same time! It's just a small piece of wood. If you meet a knowledgeable person, you can easily exchange it for a Cullinan, and you'll feel like you've made a profit.
"Where's the wand core? What wand core to use?" For Ollivander, the wand has nothing to do with life and death but is higher than life and death.
After confirming that the wood was a material that his family had cherished for several generations, he impatiently asked about the material of the stick core.
Zhang Chengdao took out another small jade bottle, shook it gently, and placed it in front of Ollivander.
"Qilin's beard." (Note 2)
Ollivander accepted the business with an extremely solemn attitude. As for the compatibility issue between the wand and its owner that he was worried about, Zhang Chengdao also said that he didn't need to worry about it. The Taoists had their own solutions.
Based on the novels he read in his previous life, Zhang Xiao guessed that it was similar to using the master's blood to practice, or to plate it every day until the plate was coated with pulp and the wand accepted its fate?
In the following time, they visited Madam Malkin's Clothing Store and other stores to buy necessities.
In the evening, when the family set foot on the road back to Diagon Alley, the sun was almost setting. They walked through the wall, past the deserted Leaky Cauldron, and back to the car.
Just like traveling, no matter how much enthusiasm you have, it will be weighed down by fatigue. At this moment, Zhang Xiao just wants to go home quickly, lie on the soft and comfortable bed, and have a good sleep.
When Zhang Xiao woke up again, her mother had put the steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table. Zhang Chengdao was also sitting next to him, holding a newspaper in his hand and flipping through it casually.
Zhang Xiao noticed that people in this newspaper were moving around. When he saw the title, it was "Daily Prophet".
"Dad, why did you start reading the wizard newspaper? Is there any interesting news in it?"
Zhang Xiao picked up the fried dough sticks and soaked them in the soy milk. After the fried dough sticks were filled with soy milk, he took it out and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked vaguely.
Zhang Chengdao put down the newspaper, picked up the soy milk and took a sip:
"It's not because you are going to Hogwarts to go to school. I have to learn more about the magical world. If one day you kid causes trouble, I have to know who to call or kill to make things right, right?"
There is no news. The headline is that 'the legendary savior Harry Potter' is suspected of entering Hogwarts this school year, and he should be your classmate. "
Um, is Harry Potter making headlines now? As expected of me, the iron triangle that must appear on the front page every year, to form the head. Zhang Xiao complained silently in his heart, and then asked curiously:
"Dad, do you know what this legendary savior is about?"
Zhang Chengdao frowned and recalled, and said with some uncertainty:
"I seem to have heard that it is related to a rogue organization called Voldemort. I heard that it was very violent in the UK. Your mother and I were traveling in other countries at the time. By the time we arrived in the UK, it had already collapsed. It was related to this child. ."
Finally, Zhang Chengdao expressed his own opinions:
"If you ask me, the UK should launch a severe crackdown. Look at what chaos it has become. I heard that there was a severe crackdown in the country and order was much better."
Well, the Death Eaters have directly become a gang of rogues, and Voldemort has become the leader of a rogue group. It's almost enough to call them a terrorist organization, but it's no wonder that their parents don't understand the situation.
Li Qingshu hit her husband angrily:
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. Our sect does not cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble. If you really want to be bullied, just beat him. If you can't beat him, come back and tell your parents. If your parents can't beat you, you still have your uncle. There is also a master behind your uncle. If you can't, just invite him. Heavenly Master!"
Zhang Xiao gave a thumbs up to his parents while eating tea eggs, and the family finished their breakfast in a lively manner.
Zhang Chengdao wiped his mouth and patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder:
"Follow me to the balcony later. I will explain to you the Taoist meditation and some basic knowledge. Starting tomorrow, you will have morning lessons with me."
Zhang Xiao followed along without understanding. Under the earnest guidance of his parents, he gradually mastered some of the most basic things.
The days passed like this. Zhang Xiao’s daily life was very regular. He got up in the morning and did morning lessons with his parents. After breakfast, he studied some Taoist knowledge. After his parents went out to work (Zhang Xiao thought they were just going to play), he picked up a book of his own. Looking back and forth through the grade textbooks.
Among them, "Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Theory", and "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" are the books that I have read the most. Although I haven't practiced them yet, with my excellent memory, Zhang Xiao feels that in the new semester, he can be a "Mr. Know-It-All" and follow It shouldn't be a problem for Hermione to form a CP called the "Jack of All Trades".
By the way, maybe Daomen's genes are really good. Even if Zhang Xiao is handsome in this life, his brain is good enough, comparable to the brain that won the first prize in the provincial mathematics competition in his previous life. (Note 3)
This regular life was finally broken one day in late August, because an owl delivered an exquisite velvet box.
His luxurious custom-made wand arrived.

Note 1: The Ollivander family has its own notes. They will record some experiences in the notes, which is official.
Note 2: It’s hard to describe the Kirin in God 3. I don’t want to admit that that thing is a Kirin. It’s like turning Fenrir into a husky. It’s too nonsense.
Note 3: Zhang Xiao is not based on the author, but there is definitely a shadow of the author. I actually won an award, although it was in the primary school category.
