HP's Platinum Temptation

There were no stamps on the beautiful envelope, with Clarence's name and the address of Lambert Manor written in emerald green ink.The wax seal on the back of the envelope is a coat of arms with a capital 'H' surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake.This is the coat of arms of Hogwarts.

The envelope was opened, and the opened letter paper was written in dark green ink like this:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore. (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Association, first-class magician of the Merlin Sir Order)

Dear Mr. Clarence Lambert:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.Semester is scheduled to start on September 31.We will be waiting for your owl to bring your reply before July [-]st.

Sincerely, Vice Principal (Female) Minerva McGonagall

In addition to the notice, a list is also attached.Clarence had seen Theodore's watch.But this time, it belongs to him.

"Clay, please reply quickly. I can't wait to go shopping in Diagon Alley with you!" Theodore reminded Clarence happily.

"No hurry, no hurry, I can reply to the letter in the study after breakfast." Clarence took a deep breath, folded the notice and put it back in the envelope, turning his attention from the envelope back to his own breakfast.

"I'm already envious of you, Clay. I really hope to have the opportunity to visit this famous magic school." Emilia said in a very envious tone.

"Honey, I think there will be opportunities in the future." Terrence comforted his wife gently, and then said to Clarence: "Actually, Clay, I'm curious, the sorting hat will sort you Which college?"

"It should be Hufflepuff, right?" Theodore responded immediately: "After all, everyone in our family belongs to Hufflepuff, right? Before, you also thought that my character was likely to go to Gryffindor. The final result is still Hufflepuff. But I have to say that after several years of enrolling, I found that maybe I was lucky not to be assigned to Gryffindor. You know, they are much more lively than me. "

"I don't think so." Terrence shook his head: "You didn't go to Gryffindor because you don't have the characteristics of that college, and our family has never been out of Gryffindor in history. But, our mother is a Ravenclaw lady. Clarence has been gifted since he was a child, why not Ravenclaw?"

"Slytherin." The Duke of Razlan who hadn't interrupted all this time suddenly said, "As the best heir of an ancient pure-blood family, I think this is the most likely place for Clay to go."

Six years later, Clarence once again stood in Diagon Alley as a child.This time, the family came here using Floo powder.And this time, there should be no more sudden battles.

Although Clarence clearly has the ability to go to Diagon Alley to buy everything by himself, the Lambert family still treats it as an important festival, and the whole family goes out together.Even Terrence took Emilia with him.

The influence of the Dark Lord has faded, and Diagon Alley is more lively than it was back then.It was still the duchess holding Clarence's hand and walking at the forefront of the family.

This is what the Duchess strongly requested.It had been a long time since Clarence inherited the family that mother and son had been this close.So Clarence obediently obeyed his mother's wishes.

"Oh, we don't need to exchange for Galleons this time. Clay, where are you going first?"

"Buy the wand first."

Ollivander's shop has hardly changed from six years ago. The door of the store is small and broken. The golden signboard on the door has peeled off. It reads: Ollivander: Making excellent wands since 380 BC.

A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.

It doesn't look like much, but it is the most solemn place every little wizard visits.

"Let's go in, Clay." The Duchess took Laclarence's hand and walked into the wand shop.

As the store door was pushed open, a bell rang nicely somewhere in the store.The shop is small, with nothing but a bench.In front of Clarence are thousands of long, narrow cardboard boxes stacked almost to the ceiling.Layers of boxes not only occupy most of the space in the store, but also accumulate thick dust.In the silence, the whole store is full of mysterious atmosphere.

"Good afternoon," said a soft voice, and an old man stood before them, his large pale eyes like two shining moons in the dim shop.The kind old man was very considerate before speaking after Clarence's gaze scanned the entire shop.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander." Clarence let go of his mother's hand and greeted the old man politely.

"Oh, yes," said the old man, "polite child. Mrs. Lambert? I remember you."

"Good day, Mr. Ollivander." The Duchess saluted generously: "This is my youngest son, Clarence." In terms of age, the other party really can bear the junior gift of a middle-aged beautiful woman .

"Oh, yes, I know that. The Lamberts are quite special among the pure-bloods, and you have more children than most other families, don't you? I think I've sold a few wands already."

"I have four children, sir."

"Okay, okay, come on, let's take a look, Mr. Lambert." Ollivander took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket. "Which arm do you use your wand?"

"I'm right-handed," Clarence said.

"Hold your arms up. Good." He measured Clarence, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally his head.As he measured, he said, "Every Ollivander wand has a super magical substance, and that's the essence of it, Mr. Lambert. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon feathers." nerves. Every Ollivander wand is unique as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, there will never be Such a good effect."

Tape measures have always been automatic.And Mr. Ollivander was shuttling through the shelves, busy selecting some long boxes to move down.

Amazingly, the cartons, which seemed to support each other's weight, did not show any sign of being unstable due to the removal of the lower layer.Obviously, there is a complex magic maintaining the balance of this store in a place that people can't see.

"Let's try these." Ollivander took out one after another wand from the long box, let Clarence hold it in his hand and waved it, while he pushed back a little.

But nothing happened, and most of the wands did not respond to Clarence's waving.

"It's amazing, I can feel that your magic power is not weak, but compared to other children, your magic power has no destructive power, does this mean higher stability? Maybe we should try more The inner core of a unicorn." Ollivander changed another batch of wands, but there was still no response.

Clarence hadn't imagined that choosing a wand would involve so many trials.As the pile of tried wand boxes piled up beside him, he worried that Ollivander was impatient.However, Ollivander himself didn't seem to care, and was even faintly excited.

"The wand chooses its owner, so it will take a little longer, don't mind. I think you can always find the most ideal, perfect, and most suitable one for you. Let me think about what else is possible." Talking to himself, Ollivander took out a few more boxes from the bottom of the shelf, took out one of them, and handed it to Clarence.

Clarence took the wand, feeling a sudden heat in his fingertips.He raised his wand and waved it lightly.I saw the tip of the wand streaking across the dusty air, and a green halo spread from the head of the wand.The halo of light spread out without any hindrance, and it slowly disappeared until it approached the store door.

Mr. Ollivander exclaimed, "Oh, wonderful, oh, really, it's marvelous. Dragon heartstring, ash, twelve and three quarters, very hard."

He put Clarence's wand back into its case, wrapped it in brown paper, and kept saying, "What a wonderful combination."

"I'm sorry," Clarence, who couldn't hear the old man talking to himself, couldn't help but interrupt, "what about this wand makes you feel strange?"

Mr. Ollivander stared at Clarence with pale eyes: "I was very surprised at the fact that your magic power is not destructive. But what I didn't expect is-hope and stability. You have very special magic power You must know that this wand has a certain age from the time it was made." Ollivander handed the wrapped box to Clarence: "When the green halo you emit sweeps across my I can't help being affected by it when I'm in the body. You know, under normal circumstances, this is not a particularly good thing. But what is amazing is that your aperture makes my magic power become quite calm for a moment, and the speed of operation It's also faster. I believe Mrs. Lambert also felt it."

After paying seven galleons, the Duchess left the shop with Clarence.

"How about it, Clay, how about your wand? You've been in it longer than I did." Theodore immediately leaned forward and said.

"Theodore, I think I may be taller than you in the future." Clarence said with a smile, "My wand is twelve and three quarters inches."

"Hmph, I believe the length of the wand is not absolute!" Theodore didn't expect Clarence's answer to hit him, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.

Then the family visited all the shops and bought everything Clarence needed for school.Also bought a lot of clothes from Fengga brand wizard clothing store.The Duchess had everyone in the family re-customize an entire outfit, and Emilia was able to experience the service of an automatic measuring ruler for the first time.
