The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

“We’ll go buy you a wand first.” Solim walked with Silna in Diagon Alley.

“Will the book be mine, or will I buy a new one?” Solim asked Silna, after all, the textbooks used by new students have not changed for many years.

“Just use yours, I know, you don’t have much money.” Silna was considerate of her brother.

“I still have this money, if you don’t have to buy a new book, then what pet do you want to give?” Owl? Cat? Or is it something else? Saying this, Solim immediately added: “First of all, toad, mice or something, even if you want me, I won’t buy it for you.” ”

Listening to Solim’s words, Silna gave her brother a strange look.

“Toad? Mouse? Do you think your sister is some kind of weird person? How could you think I would be interested in that animal? ”

Seeing Silna’s normal pet orientation, Solim said with relief: “That’s good, that’s good, ah, we’ve arrived.” ”

Ollivander Wand Shop is not only famous in Ying Guo. It is also a very well-known presence in the wizarding world throughout Europe. The wand shop run by Ollivander is the only wand shop in Diagon Alley and is quite famous in Europe. Always full of wand boxes, the shop was founded in 382 BC.

Ollivander’s storefront was small and dilapidated, with a wand lonely on a faded purple cushion in the window. The gold-lettered sign on the door, which has peeled off, reads: “Ollivander, a well-made wand since 382 BC.”

“This is the Ollivander Wand Shop?” Silna looked Ollivander’s storefront up and down, “It’s tattered, it feels like it’s going out of business.” ”

“Okay, let’s go inside.” Solim pushed open the door.

The inside of the shop was small, with nothing but a bench, and thousands of narrow boxes containing wands almost reached the ceiling. There was no one behind the counter, but Solim believed that Ollivander already knew about the customers.

“Ah, good morning, kids.” Standing on a high ladder, Ollivander slid out of the depths of the shop. “Oh, Mr. Selwyn, is that wand still handy? Wizards who can be chosen by the Alder Wand, I haven’t met a few in so many years. ”

Ollivander climbed down the high ladder and walked to the back of the counter. This was the first time that Silna had met the wandmaker, who was famous throughout Europe. If it is the first time to meet Ollivander, it will definitely be attracted to his silver-white eyes.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be Miss Selwyn.” Ollivander said and took out the tape measure and parchment from under the counter, “Let’s get started.” Which hand are you used to? ”

Next, Silna honestly measured the length of her arms, the length of her forearms, her height and her head circumference according to Ollivander’s request. Armed with this data, Ollivander left, and he went to pick out a wand for Silna.

“What’s the use?” After a series of measurements just now, Silna asked Solim puzzled.

“The Ollivander family has been making wands for a long time, and they have their own method. Professional things are left to professional people to do. If you want to know, you might as well ask him for yourself later. Solim didn’t really know why he had to measure this amount when choosing a wand. But he knows that it’s always okay to leave things he doesn’t understand to knowledgeable people.

“Try this, Miss Selwyn.” Ollivander always walked out from the high shelf, “The body of the staff of the cypress wood, the core of the staff is…”

“Nope! Don’t be cypress! Mr. Ollivander, please change one, this is so unlucky! “Solim heard that it was cypress and hurriedly interrupted Ollivander.” I’m sure it’s definitely not for Silna! ”

Glancing at Solim in surprise, Ollivander said: “Mr. Selwyn seems to know a lot about wands, then you should know that it is the wand that is choosing wizards, come on, Miss Selwyn, try it.” ”

Ollivander ignored Solim’s words and shoved the cypress wand directly into Silna’s hand.

“Hmm… Not too appropriate, right? Ollivander snatched his wand back again, “Wait a minute. After that, he walked to the shelf until his figure was blocked by the shelf.

“What’s wrong? Brother, why are you so excited when you hear Kashiwamu? Silna asked.

“The cypress wand is unlucky.” Solim didn’t want to explain it to Silna.

The cypress wand is often associated with courage, and its owner is usually self-sacrificing. Wizards with cypress wands usually die honorably. Solim knew that the peace in front of him was extremely short-lived, and getting a cypress wand at such a time did not bode well.

Don’t say that Solim is superstitious or something, there are many things in wand science that are not explainable. It’s like ordinary people’s perception of ghosts – it’s better to trust what they have than to trust them.

Soon, Ollivander returned, but this time holding several wand boxes.

“Here, try this first, walnut, female unicorn tail hair.” Ollivander handed Silna a wand.

Before Silna could swing it, Ollivander snatched it from Silna’s hand.

“It’s not too suitable, and although you can use it, it always feels like something is missing.” Ollivander casually threw the wand into the box, “Try this next, elmwood, dragon heartstrings, for a young lady of a pureblood family, elm should fit very well.” Although I think that the idea that elm can only be used by pure-bloods is complete nonsense. ”

When Silna waved the wand, there was a violent explosion in the room. The window facing the street in the store had shattered, startling the two wizards who happened to pass by. Silna quickly threw her wand on the counter.

“…… Well, not too perfect. Ollivander didn’t care in the slightest that his window was broken.

“Mr. Ollivander, I know my sister well, and you might as well try her a wand in pine, applewood, or black walnut. Of course, acacia wood should not be bad. ”

“Oh?” Ollivander thought for a moment, “It is indeed possible to consider it, but I don’t think this young lady will fit a pine wand.” ”

Solim’s face twitched. I thought, aren’t you cursing my sister?

Watch Ollivander disappear into the shelves again. Silna began to question her brother.

The kinds of wood Solim mentioned have certain characteristics.

The acacia wood wand usually refuses to use magic with it by anyone other than its owner, but in turn, it only shows its strength to the most gifted. The owners of acacia wood wands are usually attentive wizards.

Applewood is powerful, especially for those with lofty ideals and pursuits, because applewood is not suitable for black magic. It is said that the holder of the applewood wand will be loved and will live a long life.

Black walnut, not as common as the average walnut wand. Black walnut wands generally look for masters with keen intuition and insight. Black walnut looks beautiful, but it’s not easy to manage.

And pinewood, can only be said to be Solim’s good wishes to his sister. Many wand makers believe that the owner of a pine wand will live a long life, and that pine wands are very sensitive to silent spells.

After a while, Ollivander returned again.

“Mr. Selwyn’s words just now reminded me that perhaps the best fit for you is Limu.” Then Ollivander handed Silna a beautiful golden-yellow pear wood wand, “Pear wood, the tail feathers of the phoenix, twelve and three-quarters inches, very powerful, and it will help you not to take detours.” ”

When Silna held the wand, Solim knew that it was this one. The wand glowed brightly golden yellow, then slowly faded.

“Miss Selwyn, congratulations.” Ollivander smiled and said, “The owners of the Pear Wood Wand are usually popular and highly respected. I’ve never found a dark wizard with a pear wand. ”

“How much? Mr. Ollivander? Solim began to prepare his purse.

“Twelve galleons.”

“So cheap?!” Silna looked at her brother incredulously.

“Well, I’ll tell you when I go out.” Solim Mari counted twelve galleons and handed them to Ollivander.

“By the way, Mr. Ollivander, take the liberty of asking,” Solim knew that the next words might upset Ollivander, “I have some rare materials here, can you help me make a wand?” ”

“We don’t accept customization here, Mr. Selwyn.” Ollivander frowned, “But I still want to ask, what do you mean by ‘rare material’?” You know, not all materials are suitable for making wands. ”

“Ghost wood and snake wood, I guess these two kinds of wood don’t count. Slytherin’s wands and wands are made of snake wood. “Solim doesn’t want to find another wandmaker. It’s that Solim is not at ease, these two precious materials, if others take it, they will disappear, and Solim can’t take others. But Ollivander is different, he knows Dumbledore, he can still be trusted, but I don’t know if he is willing to agree.
