Hogwarts Life Guide

The next day, Tang Ning, who had no more nightmares, fell asleep and woke up naturally. After saying hello to Mr. Tonks who was about to go out, Tang Ning quickly ate some breakfast. After eating and wiping the dishes, Tang Ning waved her wand to Mrs. Tonks, who was cleaning the dishes, asked, "Aunt Anduo, can I buy some more books at the bookstore later?"

"My dear, I think you should pay more attention to the first-grade curriculum." Mrs. Tonks knew that her nephew loved to read books, especially magical biographies of famous magicians. After thinking for a while, Mrs. Tonks said:

"Buy two at most. You have to know, Tangning, that we don't have so much free time in school. I don't want to see you delay your studies because of those biographies."

"Okay..." Tangning spread her hands and explained, "Actually, I just want to buy two books about magic. After all, I will have my own wand soon."

Tangning also hoped to get the wand earlier, but was obviously rejected. Although Tangning behaved more maturely than the average little wizards, the adult wizards obviously followed a rule. The little wizards only had one or two hours before school started. It takes months to get your own wand.

Realizing that she might be mistaken, Mrs. Tonks happily agreed to Tangning's request, but she also reminded that the Hogwarts library actually has a very rich collection. Of course, for the Tonks family who are not short of money at all, , the two books are just drizzle.

After packing up, Mrs. Tonks took Tangning to Diagon Alley using Floo powder. Although it was not the first time, Tangning felt that she still had to give Floo a bad customer experience. He almost ate it. Vomited breakfast.

"Let's buy you a wand first!" Mrs. Tonks understood Tangning's thoughts very well and knew that Tangning's dream was to have a wand that belonged to him.

Tangning was confident and nodded. Mrs. Tonks held her hand tightly and walked through the bustling crowd. After a while, she arrived in front of a shop.

As a shop that monopolizes London's wand-making industry, Tang Ning noticed that they obviously didn't pay much attention to external decoration. The entire shop was small and shabby, and the small door was tightly closed. The gold-lettered signboard on the door had peeled off. It says: Ollivander - has been making sophisticated wands since 380 BC.There was a layer of dust on the display window. Inside the window, a solitary wand sat on a faded purple cushion.

Tangning felt that this should be the result of their monopoly operation - the lack of motivation for progress. Even in the wizarding world, not everything gets better as it gets older.

Tangning opened the store door one step ahead of Mrs. Tonks. When entering the store, Tangning noticed jingling bells coming from the back of the store. However, he did not find the connecting rope behind the door. It must be detection magic. Tang Ning thought this way and prepared to study it carefully when she went back.

The shop is very small, with nothing else but a bench.Mrs. Tonks pulled Tangning to sit on the bench, waiting for Mr. Ollivander to appear.Tangning noticed that there were many long and narrow cardboard boxes arranged regularly in the room, even stacked up to the ceiling.

After waiting for about a minute, Tangning heard a soft voice appear in her ear, "Good morning."

Only then did Tangning notice that an old man was standing in front of them. His large, light-colored eyes were like two shining moons in the dim shop.

Are you afraid of scaring the guests when you are always so mysterious?Resisting the desire to complain, Tangning stood up and responded, "Hello, Mr. Ollivander, I am Tangning Lestrange." On the other side, Mrs. Tonks also stood up and said hello.

"Are they the little wizards who are about to enter school? This reminds me of when I first entered school..." After a pause, Ollivander looked at Mrs. Tonks again and said, "Cherry wood, eleven inches." , a little crooked, right, Mrs. Tonks, it's an honor to see you again, do you want me to help you test your wand?"

Mrs. Tonks took out her wand and thanked her cheerfully.

"I have to say, Mrs. Tonks, you have preserved it very well. It even looks like new." After successfully growing a flower on the tip of the wand, Ollivander returned the wand. Gave it to Mrs. Tonks, admiringly.

Then, Tangning noticed that Ollivander's big eyes became sharp, "Okay, Mr. Leicester, come on, let me take a look."

As he spoke, Ollivander took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket.

"Which arm do you want to use the wand with?"

"Right hand, sir."

Next, Ollivander measured Tangning's size, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knees to armpits, and finally the head circumference.

As he measured it, he explained: "Every Ollivander's wand contains super powerful magical substances, which is its essence, Mr. Leicester. We usually use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon Nerves. Every Ollivander wand is unique, as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, you never will. Such a good effect.”

After finishing speaking, Ollivander let go of the tape measure and allowed it to operate automatically. The tape measure even measured the distance between Tangning's nostrils.Ollivander was currently walking through the shelves, busy selecting some long cartons containing wands.

"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, the tape measure fell to the ground and rolled up into a ball. "Well, Mr. Lester, try this one. Made of mahogany cork and snake nerve. Ten and a quarter inches long. It's very flexible and is very helpful in releasing the transformation spell. Please give it a try."

Tangning took the wand in her hand and was only halfway through swinging it when Ollivander snatched the wand away. "No, it's too soft for you."

"Try this one. It's holly wood with unicorn hair. It's eleven inches long. It's a very sensitive wand."

"Okay..." Tangning whispered. He waved the wand at the shelf next to him again. There was a crash, and Tangning saw a dozen cartons flying out of the shelf. They didn't fall down until they hit the ceiling. on the ground.

Tangning was about to apologize when she saw Mr. Ollivander clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "I know!" Then, he quickly flipped through the carton he selected until he found it at the bottom. A magic wand came out.

"I think it must be this one! Peach hardwood, dragon's heartstring, nine inches long, it's a powerful wand, it's perfect for dealing with the dark arts."

As soon as Tangning took the wand, she noticed a gentle breeze blowing slowly across her cheek. Then, Tangning felt her palms warm and subconsciously raised the wand. A beam of light emitted from the tip of the wand and lingered for a long time.

"It recognizes you, sir." Ollivander smiled, "Remember, Mr. Leicester, it is the wand that chooses the wizard!"
