"But you can ask Mr. Lockhart for an autograph only if you buy a complete set of books." The clerk promoted without giving up.
"No, thank you." Faith showed a forced smile, and firmly rejected the other party.
I wouldn't even buy a copy if I could!
"And... this "Standard Spells, Level [-]", anyway, I already have a copy at home, let's forget about it this time." Faith hesitated for a while, and put the book she just added aside.
Noticing Hermione's searching eyes, in order not to let the other party find out her embarrassment, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Otherwise it would be too heavy to walk on the street with so many books, so it's convenient to buy other things."
"Hmm." Hermione thoughtfully didn't ask or say anything, but helped the other party organize the rest of the books together and pushed them in front of the clerk.
"A total of 40 Galleons."
Faise carefully took out a stack of gold coins from her cloth bag. After counting 40 coins, the weight of the bag had already been reduced by half, and the feeling of emptiness was the same as her heart now.
"Sorry for the long wait," handed a pile of gold coins to the clerk, and after the other party nodded in confirmation, Faise and Hermione put the books into the satchel together.
Hermione patted her satchel in satisfaction, "You were really right when you gave me this one. It won't get too heavy and it's very easy to carry. It's really convenient."
"Thank you for your hard work. Every time I have something, I will let you get it." Feise put the much shriveled money bag into the pocket of her wizard robe, and looked at the other party apologetically, "It took a long time Time, by the way, Hermione, didn't you say you'd use your pocket money to buy books? Have you picked them out yet?"
"Not yet, I want to tangle up again, let's go buy a wand before that," Hermione looked around the bookstore, and sure enough Mrs. Granger had disappeared.
"Mom said she was going to take a look at the cloakroom, maybe she was going to buy a wizard costume for herself," Hermione took the other's hand and walked out of the shop, "We'll meet her later. good!"
"OK."

Chapter 82 The Wand
"Ollivander's Wand Shop, this is it!"
Hermione couldn't wait to push open the store door, and what attracted her eyes was a variety of magic wands piled up on the shelves. There was also a pleasant woody fragrance in the store, "Hi, is Mr. Ollivander there?"
The figure of an old man suddenly protruded from behind the shelf. He was standing on a high ladder, and Faith was afraid that he would fall if he was not careful.
The gray-haired old man's eyes flashed with a light that could see through people's hearts. He slowly climbed down from the shelf, and first looked at Hermione, "14 inches, grape vine wood, the nerve of the dragon's heart, are you still used to it? ?”
"Thank you very much for choosing it for me," Hermione pulled out her wand, and she gently stroked the pattern on it with her fingers, "I think it suits me very well."
"Knowing that you don't want to replace it makes me feel relieved. You must know that although the dragon's nerve is more magical as the core of the wand, the wand is also prone to accidents, and its performance is somewhat unstable."
Ollivander looked very happy. All the wands here were from him, and he certainly hoped that they would find a suitable owner.
"It seems that today's protagonist is you, right, miss."
Faith nodded silently, and she looked around the densely packed boxes with curious eyes. Although she didn't think it would make any difference which one she used, she was still amazed by the large number.
"Very good, very good," the white-haired old man muttered, and then carefully looked at the girl in front of him, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a white box from the shelf beside him, "Try this! "
Faith picked up the short and delicate wand, not knowing what type of magic the shopkeeper meant by trying, she looked at Hermione with puzzled eyes.
The other party swayed his wrist lightly, "You just need to wave it. That's what I did at the time. If you meet the right one, you will have a wonderful feeling."
"All right……"
Faith didn't quite understand what the other person meant by the wonderful feeling—at least, when she used Hermione and Dad's wand, she didn't have the feeling of being chosen—in fact, she didn't believe that the wand would have The term self-awareness is just a rhetoric used by merchants to fool people into buying.
I don't know what kind of wood the wand in her hand is made of, but it is very light overall. With just a little force from Feys, a small whirlwind blows in the store, and even blows several boxes off the shelf.
"Sorry, I didn't know it would have such a big reaction," Faith said with a flustered expression, she waved her wand again, "Pack /Pack/"
The wand rolled out of the box automatically returned to it, and the wand box floated back to its original position, and everything seemed to be in order.
"Although there is no special feeling, I think it is quite useful."
Faith turned her head to look at Hermione, who looked a little disappointed, "Just buy this one?"
"Wait a minute, child," Mr. Ollivander heard Faith's words, and before Hermione could reply, he hastily pulled the wand out of her hand, "It was my miscalculation, it seems too A gentle magic wand can't stimulate your potential, I know which one is right for you!"
As he spoke, he turned around and hurriedly climbed up the ladder, manipulating it to move deeper.
"Looks like we'll have to spend some more time," Faith looked at the various wands on the shelf, and asked pretendingly casually, "Hermione, how much did you pay for your wand?"
"9 Galleons," said the little lion, obviously looking forward to what kind of wand Ollivander would choose for Faith, her head peering inside from time to time, "I think everyone is different, Harry's only cost 7 Galleons."
After a strange noise, Ollivander came out with a red box, his expression was even more impatient than Hermione's, "Try this, kid."
When Faith took out the wand, he introduced, "13 3/4 inches, phoenix feather, sorrel wood, relatively hard and not easy to bend, this is my favorite work!"
The body of the wand is not slender, but it is of moderate weight. Faith held the swirled part of the wand, and a feeling of being peeped lingered in her heart. After a while, the originally cold wand seemed to have a little temperature.
Before she could wave it, a gust of whirlwind blew around her again. Hermione, who was standing aside, could clearly feel her long hair being blown, and the lights in the store also shook a little.
"This is it!"
The little lion's nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and she shook Faise's shoulders a little excitedly, "You feel it too, right, that's the feeling of being recognized."
"It's really... a bit unbelievable."
Faith nodded in disbelief. She looked up at Ollivander and asked, "What's the price?"
"I knew you'd like it, fifteen Galleons, boy."
Faith looked at the other party in disbelief, and repeated, "15 Galleons?"
She carefully put the wand in her hand back into the box, and wiped her hands anxiously on her body, "Its price seems a bit high? I mean, I thought most wands cost around 9 Galleons. "
"The premise is that it is an ordinary wand." Ollivander has seen a very large number of customers in his life, and he knows that the girl in front of him may not be able to afford it without asking carefully, which is a bit high.
He sighed regretfully, it seemed that the wand could not find its ideal owner.
"This wand is made of sorrel wood, which is a very popular wood. It not only has stronger defensive ability than most wands, but also has a more stable and excellent ability than other wands in actual combat."
Ollivander added with some regret, "Its core uses the rarest phoenix feather, which is the real reason why its price remains high. A wand made of phoenix feathers generally has a wider range of spellcasting power." scope and greater proactivity.”
"It sounds like a good wand, but I'm still just a student, it will meet a more suitable owner in the future," Faith turned her eyes to the box where the first wand was placed, and she was struggling with this one What will be the price of .
"But Harry's wand also has a phoenix feather as the core, and he only spent 7 Galleons,"
Hermione watched as Faise picked up the first wand again. She clutched her robes anxiously, and tried hard to fight for Ollivander, "Can't you give her some money?"
"It's not that I don't want to, Mr. Potter's wand is very special," Ollivander looked at Hermione hesitantly, and finally explained in the puzzled eyes of the other party, "The owner of its twin wand... Someone whose name I cannot name, so it was destined to belong to Mr Potter, and it has been waiting in my shop for many, many years for that reason."
In short...is Harry's wand a hard-to-sell inventory?
Faith secretly complained in her heart that she had given up the idea of owning that wand, but Hermione on the side seemed not to give up yet.
--------------
The author's words:
Since everyone should be able to guess that the almighty Miss Granger will always find a way to help Faith get the wand, so I will not hide it, the picture above!
It is not difficult to find that the picture this time is very different from the crude shooting style last time. Thanks to my photographer, I praise you!
Chapter 83
"Can you choose a wand for me that costs less than 10 Galleons? If it's suitable, just this one is fine." Faith pondered for a while and said after she had made enough mental preparations.
"Please wait!"
Hermione interrupted her anxiously. Under Faith's puzzled eyes, the little lion ran directly into the counter and grabbed Ollivander's hand, "Can you please think again?"
"This is?" The old man's expression seemed a little surprised.
"Please," she looked at the other party with pleading eyes, "When I came to buy the wand before, you also said that it is the wand that chooses the wizard, and since it has chosen Faith, I hope she can get the most suitable one. "
"Hermione?"
Faith looked at this scene with surprised eyes, she hurried to the counter, grabbed the other person's sleeve, and said softly, "It's okay, I don't have to use that wand, you don't need to do that..."
Hermione didn't look back at her, she just took her hand back and asked nervously, "Are you willing to accept it?"
Ollivander stared at the girl in front of him for a while, then smiled and nodded, and said to Faith, "You just need to give me 10 Galleons, take this wand away, it belongs to you now .”
"gentlemen?"
Faise didn't expect that the other party would actually agree to Hermione's request. After all, it was 5 Galleons, and besides buying a book by Mr. Liar, she could also buy a lot of things!
She looked at Ollivander suspiciously. Could it be that Mr. Shopkeeper is some kind of strange person?
"Face, pay quickly." Hermione poked her arm anxiously when she saw that the other party was just standing there, staring at Ollivander without knowing what he was thinking about.
"Oh, alright."
Faith was called back from her complicated guesses. Under Hermione's urging, she opened her purse, took out 10 Galleons and put it on the counter, "Please confirm."
"No problem, come on, it's yours."
Ollivander handed the wand box to Faith, and said meaningfully, "You have a very good friend, and you should cherish this friendship."
"I know, thank you."
I always felt that there was something strange about this shop owner, but it was not convenient to talk in the shop, so after getting the wand, Faise hurriedly pulled Hermione away.
Finally bought the wand she wanted, but Faise's expression was not very clear. She glanced at Hermione who was humming an unknown tune several times, and finally summoned up the courage to speak.
"Hermione, I think you should be more careful next time..."
"Huh? What are you referring to, Faith?" Hermione looked at the other party in puzzlement, did she miss something just now?
"Don't you think there's something wrong with that Mr. Ollivander?" Feyse said anxiously, seeing that the other party still didn't know what to say, "How can ordinary people lower the price so much because of one request? The statement is indeed correct, the cost of my wand probably costs more than 10 Galleons just for the wood and the core."
"But he sold it to me at a loss..." Faith frowned, "Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange about this," Hermione shook her head amusedly, and she patted the other person's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't think so much, I promise Mr. Ollivander is a good man."
"That's all right...but don't bargain with others like this next time," Faith added in a low voice, "I'm rich."
"I know~"
Hermione suddenly saw something, she stood on tiptoe and waved her hand towards the distance, "Mom, we are here!"
Mrs. Granger also noticed the two children. She hurried over with several shopping bags in her hand. It seemed that she had a good harvest today.
As soon as she ran in front of the two, Mrs. Granger couldn't wait to ask Hermione, "What do you think of my outfit? I just bought it at a clothing store. The suits and dresses here are very good. Bought a set for your dad."
"You look exactly like the wizards on the street, and no one but Headmaster Dumbledore can tell you're not a wizard!"
Hermione's words made Mrs. Granger even happier. She glanced at her watch and asked the two children, "Is there anything else that you haven't bought? If you have bought everything, then we are going to go back."
"I should have bought all of them, right?" Hermione recalled with some uncertainty, then turned to look at the people around her, "Is there anything else you need, Faith?"
"Um... not anymore."
Faith looked back at the owl shop a little downcastly, then shook her head at Hermione.
She originally wanted to take her to the store and let Hermione choose one she likes, but now she has less than 8 Galleons left in her hand... Even the cheapest one can no longer be bought , let alone choose.
She suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "Hermione, didn't you say before that you would go back to Lihen Bookstore to buy books? Why are you going back now?"
Hermione froze for a moment, and then showed an indifferent smile, "I suddenly changed my mind, I haven't even read the books at your house, and the school has such a rich collection of books, I don't need to be sure. Take them home."
"That's right," Faise complained angrily, thinking of the 40 Galleons she had lost innocently, "the prices of some books in that store are really unreasonable."
"Then I will come to your house next Monday to read books with you, is that okay?"
"Well...as long as you don't leave so early like today," Faith yawned, she probably had to go to bed early tonight, "I can just ask you to help with homework."
"no problem!"
