Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

"...Since then, the owner of the bookstore has not kicked you out? Geez, you are so serious, you actually read the book like this." Everil was amused by Jody's story and stood there trembling.

After the birth of the Super Soul Mantra, the Soul Awakening Mantra no longer had any obvious side effects for Jody.

Relying on the floating spell to turn pages and using the spiritual consciousness segmentation technique to read, Jody's reading speed is very fast.

Of course there are things similar to e-books in the wizarding world, but this involves an old and cherished problem.

In order to maintain the luxury price of burning magic books, the production method of this thing has always been a commercial secret. Not many people know the core of this technology, so there is no talk of looking for cheap alternative materials.

Jody doesn't have that much money to spend on books. With his reading speed, if he had to buy every book, he might not be able to last until the end of the summer vacation. Besides, the amount of reading is just to deepen his understanding of the magical world.

Many of the contents in the book are not immediately useful.

Well, of course! The final question is, why should you pay when you can get it for free?

Jody was standing in the open space in the middle of the workshop. The cover and back cover of the magic book spread out in front of him were all opened, and the endless paper contained in it was rolling around to form a pool of water around Jody.

The purchased gems and other materials were continuously fed into the paper pool, and Mr. Ollivander watched with satisfaction as he took them accurately without any sloppiness.

After many years of storage, there are many things in Professor Binns's magic book that need to be repaired. Fortunately, Mr. Ollivander, as a spell-casting medium in ancient times, also has a certain understanding of magic books.

"Are you really not going to give up your love? Joyce, I can connect you with a generous buyer, as long as you are willing..."

"Stop talking about it, Dad." Jodi refused flatly, revealing the old man's little thoughts in a shameless manner, "I'm afraid you are the buyer, right?"

"How can you say that!" Ollivander pretended to be offended, but he couldn't hold back the momentum. "I'm so old, it's permissible to have a little collecting habit, right?

.”

After completing today's plan, Jodi put away his books.

The ancient magic written in the book will take some effort to decipher, and the in-depth restoration can only be put on hold until the decipherment is completed.

"You can study this book while I'm here. But before that, you have to help us finish our project." Jodi held up the magic book in his hand to seduce Ollivander.

Ollivander rolled his eyes at him, "If I hadn't been interested in your subject, I wouldn't have agreed to let you use my workshop... And that girl, she lives in my eldest daughter's room.

.You have to seriously research and come up with something!"

"Of course!" Jody vowed.

Quirrell wrote in a letter that he was stuck on something and might have to come later. He told Jody about his recurring nightmares and the snakes that always appeared in his dreams.

Somewhat strangely, Quirrell seemed to have some unpleasantness with Dumbledore. When Jody suggested that he discuss it with Dumbledore, in the next letter, Quirrell warned Jody in a very serious tone that he should not be so easy.

Believe in every superior person.

Especially someone like Dumbledore.

People who consider themselves to be righteous will often not hesitate when faced with sacrifice!

Jodi sensed something unusual from the content of the letter. Jody didn't really know what kind of person Dumbledore was. He could only speculate about this person from a few words in the book of prophecies. character.

In fact, Dumbledore often emphasized that he was just a member of the human race. He always said that he would make mistakes and he was not perfect.

People who have read the seven-part Book of Prophecy can also feel that although his plan effectively prevented Voldemort from resurrecting, the plan was not perfect, and the heavy casualties made readers feel sad and even angry.

Of course, this may also be an arrangement made by Master Rowling to enhance the atmosphere.

Having said all that, as a Dumbledore fan, Jodi himself has to admit that some of the adults' thoughts do not take the mood of the chess pieces into consideration.

But at least now that Voldemort has not yet returned, Dumbledore really regards himself as an old man who is about to retire.

On what matter did Quirrell disagree with the principal? Seven Doors? Jody couldn't figure out what happened to Quirrell, who originally respected Dumbledore so much.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask him carefully when he arrives.

Without Quirrell present, Jody's research would not be able to continue. Isn't it because there is a walking dictionary-like Mr. Ollivander staying by his side?

It's just that as a master craftsman, Ollivander's knowledge has certain limitations.

Ollivander, who was sitting by the window reading a novel and basking in the sun, raised his head and met Jodi's somewhat complicated gaze.

"What's wrong? Are you talking bad about me?"

"No! How is that possible? I was thinking that even if I make the pseudo-spirit, we can't seem to find a wand that can be used for experiments."

Ollivander took off his reading glasses and placed the novel in his hand on the table. The author: Gilderoy Lockhart's signature on the cover of the novel was almost as big as the title of the book.

"Well...it is true that there are risks in experimenting with your own wands, but I can't give you those wands that have not yet waited for their owners. Unfamiliar magic will reduce the quality of the wands!"

Jody followed this topic and asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time, "So do you know how to find some old wands? Or some other places where you can get wands? I went to Knockturn Alley to see it, even if Even the small wand shop over there refuses to sell wands at will."

"Hey, you brat, you actually went to Knockturn Alley! Is that a place where a little wizard like you can go?" Ollivander scolded loudly to express his dissatisfaction.

For an outstanding child like Jody who came out of the orphanage, Ollivander considered himself to be half the guardian.

Jodi apologized profusely, and Ollivander let him go.

"It's all the trouble caused by the turmoil ten years ago... After the fall of the mysterious man, the Ministry of Magic, which returned to power, restricted the circulation of wands in the name of safety. Each wizard can only have his own wand. The last one is damaged. Once you get it, you need to get a certificate before you can buy another one.

Of course, most wizards don't want their wands to be retired midway, unless they are old ones that have been passed down for generations and are too old to be repaired.

Theoretically, a wizard's first wand has the deepest connection with him, followed by the wands he has tamed... which is far away.

You are conducting wand-related research in the wand shop. I can't let you fumble around with nothing. Feel free to take out your substitute spirit body first and let me take a look. The name of the century-old shop is here. I have

There is still a batch of old wands that have been collected for many years."

In an unexpected and logical development, Jody initially thought about whether he could borrow those new wands to test the waters. Now it would be better to have old wands that didn't matter if they broke.

Jody continued to be busy with the deductions and calculations on his hands for a while, but after a while he raised his head.

"Dad? Maybe you could take out those wands for me to use first?"
