Sun Zhu did not forget to write back to Professor McGonagall, in which she expressed that she was honored and looked forward to attending Hogwarts, and that she would prepare everything as required and report on time.

After her father sent it out for her, he took her to Diagon Alley.

Although it was not her first time, she was still very excited.

Textbooks can be bought at Flourish and Blotts, and the school uniforms and robes required on the list are all sold at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop. After buying everything she needed for the potion class at Partridge's Crucible and Wieseacre's Magical Supplies, she couldn't help but go to the stationery store to buy a bunch of quills, parchment, and various inks...

Finally, they arrived at the place she had been looking forward to the most, Ollivander's Wand Shop.

The wand shop has an ancient sign, and on the slightly peeling gold sign it reads:

Ollivander: Made exquisite wands since 382 BC.

The store looked small and shabby, with a sense of history. When she was about to push the door to enter, the door opened from the inside.

A blonde girl dressed in black walked out. Sun Zhu didn't see her face clearly, but only heard Mr. Ollivander say goodbye to her: "I wish you a happy cooperation with your wand, Miss Bulstrode."

The girl kept walking, just nodded slightly, and disappeared from her sight.

Sun Zhengxing took her inside. The owner of the shop, Mr. Garrick Ollivander, was an elderly-looking but energetic businessman. Just as he said, he had an excellent memory and recognized Sun Zhengxing at the first sight.

"Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Magic, it's you. Long time no see." Mr. Ollivander greeted him warmly. "The last time we met was when you were about to enter Hogwarts and came to buy a wand from me."

"Yes." Sun Zhengxing smiled and said, "It was Professor McGonagall who brought me to your place to choose a wand. To be honest, I was not very willing at that time."

"Haha, I still remember it." Mr. Ollivander was very talkative. "At that time, Mr. Sun didn't think these sticks were special. When I asked you to hold them and try to shout out some commands, you felt very... confused."

"Yes, I feel embarrassed. It's not comfortable for me to do these things when I don't understand magic yet."

"But Mr. Sun still cooperated with these things you didn't understand very well, and successfully got the approval of a magic wand. Let me think about it, the wand body is made of ash wood, the core is made of dragon's heart nerve, it is thirteen and a quarter inches long, and the elasticity is moderate. Is that right?"

"You have a very good memory." Sun Zhengxing smiled and handed over the magic wand in his hand.

Mr. Ollivander took it and examined it carefully for a moment, then handed it back to Sun Zhengxing and nodded, saying, "Mr. Sun's wand is well maintained and in good condition. I can see that you are very happy with it."

"This is all thanks to you. Your wand-making skills are among the best in the entire wizarding world. So I brought my daughter to you this time, hoping that she can get a wand of her own."

Sun Zhu took a step closer, nodded to Ollivander and said, "Hello."

Mr. Ollivander's smile became even warmer. He looked at Sun Zhu carefully, pondered for a moment, and took out a box from a row of shelves beside him.

After opening it, he introduced: "Miss Sun, this is the same ash wood wand as your father's, but the core is phoenix tail feathers. Ash wood is a kind of wood that represents truth, knowledge and purity. It is very loyal to its owner and is very suitable for healing magic. Phoenix tail feathers are the rarest wand core material I have ever used, but it is also the most unique wand core."

Sun Zhu took the wand, waved it as instructed and said, "Clean it up."

The dust on the table did not decrease, but the lights in the store suddenly went out.

Sun Zhu returned the wand to Mr. Ollivander somewhat awkwardly, and Sun Zhengxing quickly cast a "Restore to Original" spell.

Mr. Ollivander smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention to these changes. It was obvious that he had gotten used to them.

He pondered for a moment and summoned a box from above, opened it and handed it to Sun Zhu: "Try this one, laurel wood, female unicorn hair as the core. Laurel wood is most suitable for wizards who are open-minded and upright, and unicorns are the embodiment of innocence. I believe it will suit you very well."

Sun Zhu shrank her neck guiltily. She didn't even need to try to know that this magic wand would not choose her.

She is a person with a head full of secrets, so she can't be called "open and aboveboard". I don't know why Mr. Ollivander chose to let her try this one.

Facing his father's expectant gaze, Sun Zhu gritted his teeth and cast a "fluorescent flash", but unfortunately he failed to gather even a little light. Instead, several boxes containing magic wands fell not far away.

Sun Zhengxing cleaned up the "mess" for her again and seemed quite confused.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's normal. Let me think about what else might be suitable for you." Mr. Ollivander fell into thought.

Sun Zhu glanced at his father innocently, thinking that perhaps some kind of wood with "evil" properties might be suitable for him.

"I've thought of it. It must be right," said Mr. Ollivander suddenly.

This time he went to the back room in person and quickly brought back a box.

After opening it, it turned out to be a light-colored wand with vines and some flower patterns carved on it. It looked very artistic and fresh.

"Poplar wood, phoenix feather core, eleven and one-half inches long, slightly flexible. This is definitely it." He said confidently, "Poplar wood is suitable for upright and pure wizards. It can output the most stable and inclusive magic, and will bring its users consistent courage and powerful strength. It is a wand worthy of trust."

Sun Zhu hesitated for a moment, took the wand, waved it gently and shouted: "Clear water like a spring."

She thought something unexpected would happen, but a thin stream of water trickled from the tip of the wand and splashed some onto Sun Zhengxing's sleeve.

Although it was only a little bit, Sun Zhu was still startled and looked at the magic wand in disbelief.

Sun Zhengxing smiled and ignored the water stains on his sleeves. He only praised, "It's a very good wand. Clear Water Like a Spring is a relatively advanced spell. The fact that you can use it successfully shows that it really suits you."

Mr. Ollivander seemed happier than the father and daughter. "Very good, I have found another little wizard who approves of this amazing wand."

Sun Zhu couldn't help but feel happy. It turned out that she could be chosen by this magic wand that represented purity?

"Regarding poplar wood, I don't mind sharing an old joke with you. Those unprofessional wand makers actually claim that poplar wood will not choose politicians because most politicians, ahem, are not pure in mind." Mr. Ollivander shook his head. "Ignorant and ridiculous. As far as I know, two of the most accomplished ministers in the history of the Ministry of Magic were chosen by poplar wood, Eldridge Diggory and Evangeline Orpington."

Sun Zhengxing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you think my daughter is also suitable to be a politician?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant. I just want to say that a poplar wand with a phoenix feather as the core has great potential. Similarly, its owner will have unlimited possibilities."
