Big Boss In The Harry Potter World

"Let's go buy you a wand first." Solim walked Sylna through Diagon Alley.

"Should I just use my books, or buy new ones?" Solim asked Silna. After all, the textbooks used by freshmen have not changed for many years.

"Just use yours, I know, you don't have much money." Sirna was very considerate for her brother.

"I still have this little money. If you don't need to buy a new book, what kind of pet do you want to give? An owl? A cat? Or something else?" Solim then added: "Let's talk about it first, Toad , Mice or something, I won’t buy it for you if you want it.”

After hearing Solim's words, Sirna gave her brother a strange look.

"Toad? Mice? Do you think your sister is some kind of weird person? How do you think I'd be interested in that animal?"

Seeing Sirna's normal pet orientation, Solim said with relief: "That's good, that's good, ah, we're here."

Ollivander's Wand Shop is famous not only in the UK. It is also a very well-known existence in the entire European wizarding world. The wand shop run by Ollivander is the only one in Diagon Alley and is quite famous in Europe. The shop is always full of wand boxes, founded in 382 BC.

Ollivander's shop was small and shabby, with a lonely wand on a faded purple cushion in the window. The gold lettering on the door has peeled off, and it reads: "Ollivander, fine wand maker since 382 BC".

"This is Ollivander's Wand Shop?" Silna looked Ollivander's store up and down, "It's so dilapidated, it feels like it's about to close down."

"Okay, let's go." Solim pushed open the shop door.

The shop was small, with nothing but a bench, and thousands of long, narrow boxes of wands stacked almost to the ceiling. There was no one behind the counter, but Solim believed Ollivander already knew there was a customer.

"Ah, good morning, boys." Ollivander stood atop a tall ladder and slid out from the depths of the store. "Oh, Mr. Selwyn, is that wand easy to use? I haven't met many wizards who can be selected by the alder wand over the years."

Ollivander climbed down the tall ladder and went behind the counter. This was the first time for Silna to meet this famous wand maker throughout Europe. Anyone who meets Ollivander for the first time will be attracted by his silver eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Miss Selwyn." Ollivander said, taking out a tape measure and parchment from under the counter, "Let's get started. Which hand do you prefer to use?" `"?"

Next, Silna honestly followed Ollivander's request, measuring the length of the arm, the length of the forearm, height and head circumference. After getting these data, Ollivander left, and he threw it to Silna to choose a wand.

"What's the use of this?" After a series of measurements just now, Selna asked Solim puzzled.

"The Ollivander family has been making wands for a long time, and they have their own way. Professional things are left to professional people. If you want to know, you might as well ask him later." Solim actually I'm not too sure why you need to measure this and that when choosing a wand. But he knows that it's always okay to leave things that you don't understand to people who know how to do them.

"Come and try this, Miss Selwyn." Ollivander walked out of the tall shelves, "The body of the cypress stick, the core of the stick is..."

"No! No cypress one! Mr. Ollivander, please change it, this is too unlucky!" Solim interrupted Ollivander hastily when he heard that it was cypress wood. "I'm pretty sure it's definitely not for Cyrna!"

Looking at Solim in surprise, Ollivander said: "Mr. Selwyn seems to know a lot about wands, so you should know that it is the wand that chooses wizards. Come on, Miss Selwyn, try it ."

Ollivander ignored Solim's words at all, and directly stuffed the cypress wand into Silna's hand.

"Well...it's really not very suitable, is it?" Ollivander snatched the wand back again, "Wait a minute." After speaking, he walked towards the shelf until his figure was blocked by the shelf.

"What's the matter? Brother, why are you so excited when you hear Kashiwagi?" Selna asked.

"The cypress wand is unlucky." Solim didn't want to explain it to Selna.

Cypress wands are often associated with courage, and its owner is usually self-sacrificing. A wizard with a cypress wand usually dies an honorable death. Solim knew very well that the peace in front of him was extremely short-lived, and it was not a good sign to get a cedar wand at such a time.

Don't say that Solim is superstitious, there are a lot of unclear things in wandology. Just like ordinary people's views on ghosts and ghosts-it is better to believe that they exist than that they do not.

Soon, Ollivander was back again, but this time he was holding several wand boxes.

"Come on, try this first, walnut, the tail hair of a female unicorn." Ollivander handed Silna a wand.

Before Cyrna could wave it, Ollivander snatched it from Cyrna's hand.

"It's not very suitable. Although you can use it, it always feels like something is missing." Ollivander casually threw the wand into the box, "Try this next, elm wood, dragon heartstring, for a For a lady of a pureblood family|Elm would be a good fit. Although I think it's completely nonsense that elm can only be used by purebloods.

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

...... Well, it's not perfect. ’ Ollivander didn’t give a damn about his window being broken.

"Mr. Ollivander, I know my sister very well. You might as well give her a wand of pine, applewood or black walnut. Of course, acacia wood should not be bad."

"Oh?" Ollivander thought for a while, "It is indeed possible to think about it, but I don't think this lady is suitable for a pine wand.

Solim's face twitched. I thought to myself, aren’t you my sister?

Watching Ollivander disappear from the shelves once again. Silna began to question her brother.

The types of wood that Solim mentioned all have certain characteristics.

The acacia wand usually denies the use of magic to anyone other than its owner, but in turn, it only shows its power to the most gifted. The owners of acacia wands are usually careful wizards.

Apple wood is powerful, especially suitable for those who have lofty ideals and pursuits, because apple wood is not suitable for black magic. The holder of an applewood wand is said to be well-loved and have a long life.

Black walnut, not as common as walnut wands in general. Black walnut wands generally seek owners with keen intuition and insight. Black walnut looks beautiful but is not easy to handle.

As for the pine wood, it can only be said to be Solim's best wishes for his sister. Many wandmakers believe that the owners of pine wands will live a long life, and pine wands are very sensitive to silent spells.

After a while, Ollivander came back again.

Mr. Selwyn's words just now reminded me that maybe the most suitable for you is pear wood. Then Ollivander handed Silna a beautiful golden pear wood wand, "Pear wood, phoenix's tail feathers, twelve and three quarter inches, very powerful, and at the same time it will help you not walk on detour. "

When Sirna held the wand, Solim knew it was the one. The wand glowed bright golden yellow, then slowly faded.

"Miss Selwyn, congratulations." Ollivander said with a smile: "Owners of pearwood wands are usually very popular and respected. wand.

"How much? Mr. Ollivander?" Solim began to dig into his wallet.

"Twelve Galleon males."

"So cheap?!" Sirna looked at her brother in disbelief.

"Well, I'll tell you when I get out." Solim quickly counted out twelve Galleons, and handed them to Ollivander.

"By the way, Mr. Ollivander, I would like to ask." Solim knew that the next words might make Ollivander feel uncomfortable, "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 is the 'rare material' you are talking about? You must know that not all materials All are suitable for making wands.

"Ghostwood and snakewood, I don't think that counts. Slytherin wands and staves are made of snakewood." It's not that Solim didn't want to find another wandmaker. But Solim is worried that these two precious materials will disappear if people take them, and Solim has nothing to do with them. But Ollivander was different, he knew Dumbledore and could still be trusted, but he didn't know if he would agree. .
