Cardcaptor at Hogwarts
Chapter 6 Mysterious Grandma
Half an hour passed in Ollivander's Wand Shop...
Adam waved the wand mechanically, because the requirement was that both hands could be used, and he would switch to the other hand if he used acid in one hand.
He was already numb to the explosions that kept ringing in his ears, which would cause various serious effects eight out of ten times. He remembered that one time a bouquet of flowers actually bloomed on the top of the wand. He thought he was right this time, but Ollie Fender said it was still wrong.
Until a wand came into Adam's hands. As soon as he got it, Adam felt that this wand was different from the previous one.
As Adam waved his wand, the surrounding wand boxes trembled and floated one by one, returning to their respective places, and Adam also felt a completely different sense of pleasure than before, as if his body had an extra extension.
"That's right! That's it!"
Ollivander clapped his hands:
"Sixteen inches, acacia wood, phoenix tail feathers—I knew it!"
You know a der!
Adam almost vomited something sweet, but his good moral cultivation kept him shut, and he just rolled his eyes impolitely.
He seriously suspected that Ollivander actually made every combination of wands and then exhausted them all!
"Ahem... The combination of this wand is very special, that's why it takes so long."
Ollivander may have realized that the wand selection for more than half an hour just now was a bit unprofessional, but he still struggled to explain:
"Both the acacia wood and the phoenix tail feathers are very finicky, not to mention the sixteen-inch length - the last sixteen-inch wand I sold belonged to a half-giant!"
Although Adam suspected that Ollivander was simply quibbling, the joy of choosing his own wand still made him suppress the depression of waiting for half an hour and almost being affected by explosions and lightning several times. He looked carefully at the wand in his hand.
The cylindrical black-brown staff has a slender and straight body, with smooth curves and runes engraved on it. The handle is a spindle surrounded by various symbols. Adam glanced at the bottom of the handle...it was actually inlaid. With a yellow gem? !
"That gemstone is a yellow tourmaline I bought from a wizard from the East. It matches the overall magic power of the wand very well...at no extra charge!"
Ollivander spoke at the right moment.
Well, for the sake of this gem, Adam's resentment dissipated a lot.
So beautiful.
After looking at the wand several times, Adam couldn't help but thought to himself.
Sixteen-inch wands are considered extra-long among wands, but Adam's Dark Wand is a head taller than others. In comparison, this wand is already small. Adam even thinks this wand is a bit cute.
After paying the bill and buying the most important and most uncertain wand, Old Reed took Adam into buy-buy-buy mode.
Owl, snacks, crucible, snacks, potion ingredients, snacks, school uniforms, snacks, books,…
Not to mention the various snacks from a stall just a few steps away, Adam lingered in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore for a long time.
He has not forgotten that the growth of magic is closely related to knowledge, so he also wants to buy and read many books that are not required by Hogwarts. In addition, he is a little curious about things in the wizarding world, especially those that do not appear in the original books and movies. part.
So Adam signed an order for two feet of parchment, and the books would be sent to Hogwarts, where Grandpa said the house elves would take care of them.
"That's a broomstick. Freshmen are not allowed to bring broomsticks."
After speaking, Old Reed hesitated:
"But if you want it, we can buy one first and keep it at home."
"Still not, Grandpa, I'm not very interested in flying broomsticks."
Adam declined what would have been a tempting offer for a child.
"Do you think Nimbus 2000 is expensive? My grandparents are actually very rich."
"Mom and dad gave me a lot of money, grandpa."
Nimbus 2000 is indeed very expensive, but Mr. Reed and Ms. Li originally planned for Adam to attend Eton College - the tuition fee for Eton College is more than 40,000 pounds a year for a total of five years. The reservation was made, but Adam suddenly had to go to Hogwarts, which had free tuition. Ms. Li handed over the original tuition fee to Adam with a wave of her hand.
"Boys can't be poor, otherwise they will have to live a rough life. How can they broaden their horizons? What's more, they are still in a strange environment."
"I just feel that I can't take it to Hogwarts now anyway. It's not worth buying it right now - maybe they will release a new model next year?"
In fact, next year there will be Nimbus 2001, and the year after that there will be Firebolt... The more I think about it, the more it looks like a certain mobile phone.
And if Adam wants to fly, there is a flying card in the Clow card. Let the Dark Staff grow wings and it will be a broomstick. Let yourself grow wings and you can fly directly. Why spend so much money to buy one that will be destroyed in a year? Better product outweighs the broomstick?
A certain second-generation rich man said it well: I am rich but not stupid.
I bought the other end from one end of Diagon Alley and picked up Emma from the Tuofan Clothing Store. Grandma took Adam to buy this end from the other end. Grandma's main consumption target is obviously different from Grandpa.
"Alan! Do you plan to let your precious grandson wear only one school uniform in Hogwarts for a whole semester?"
"Old clothes, pajamas... and a few more dresses... Isn't there a ball at Hogwarts? I can't imagine... No, I still have to buy them, in case I can use them?"
"The wand needs to be cared for, otherwise what if it breaks down while casting a spell? Buy a few more sets of care tools, don't save money on this."
"You need to prepare a few more pairs of dragon leather gloves. Some potion materials are best handled with separate dragon leather gloves. In addition, if your classmates forget to bring them, you can lend them to them to build good relationships."
"Prepare more potion materials, and buy some white fresh essence. Carry a bottle with you. If there is a wound, you can treat it directly... The nurses in the medical wing can't fly directly to Adam, shut up Alan!"
...
After buying two rounds of food in Diagon Alley and using snacks as lunch, Emma looked at the packages in the hands of the two people, and then looked at Old Reed:
"Alan, you take these things back first, Adam and I will go shopping again."
Old Reed picked up the packages of the two people with difficulty. There was a huge birdcage on the top of the package - there was a snowy owl inside.
"Well, you guys have fun, will you come back for dinner tonight?"
"Not necessarily."
Emma answered quickly, and it was obvious that she would not go back for dinner.
"Uh, okay."
Old Reed nodded, and walked away with the gift.
"Why didn't Grandpa use magic to carry the luggage?"
Emma looked at Adam in surprise:
"Magic is something that requires concentration. It is easy to have accidents while casting spells and doing other things. Don't do this in the future."
"Is that so?"
Adam nodded thoughtfully.
Is it possible that Grandpa is too weak?
After lunch, Emma wiped her mouth and took Adam to a corner where no one was around.
"Grandma?" Why are you so mysterious...
"Hold my hand tightly."
Adam held it tightly as he was told, and the next moment he felt like he was in a narrow pipe-like slide. After a period of squeezing, his body finally got out of the pipe and came to a piece of grass.
"Um--"
Adam's face turned pale and he felt nauseous.
"That was Apparition, which allows people to quickly move from one place to another. It's not easy to get used to it the first time. Take a few deep breaths."
Emma stroked Adam's back, then leaned over and whispered something in Adam's ear. Adam realized that it seemed to be an address.
The next moment, in Adam's surprised eyes, a crack seemed to appear on the grass in front of him, and a small house with a garden squeezed out of thin air from the crack.
"This is an extremely powerful protective magic. Don't rush to ask questions. Come with me."
Emma took Adam to the door of the small house and knocked gently.
