Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Chapter 3 Dust, Window, Old Wand Workshop

"This is the Leaky Cauldron in London. It's written on your admission form. Next time you have to come here by yourself." The bricks on the magic wall are flipped to reveal an arched passage, and the senses brought by 4D special effects

The impact was quite good. Snape pushed Jody, who was probing his head, forward into the alley, "Move forward! Stay within my sight."

Partridge's Crucible Shop, Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, Gringotts... these have nothing to do with Jody. Quickly passing through the crowd, Jody was taken to the only shop he needed to visit.

Compared with the bustling surroundings, this store is a little deserted, and the shabby sign is even more tattered. Most of the writing on the sign has peeled off and can only be vaguely legible. There is a solitary magic wand on the velvet cushion in the window covered with spider webs.

.

'Ollivander: Since 300 BC...'

Before Jody could read the words, Snape had already pushed him in.

When you walk into the store, the dark room seems to be made up entirely of small boxes. The boxes extend inwards, making it impossible to tell how deep the room is.

‘He shouldn’t have kept all the wand boxes he sold, right?’ Jody had calmed down by now, and Snape’s poke with the wand seemed to have some effect.

"Good afternoon~" the greeting voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone, "Ah, Professor Snape! Rare visitor, let me think about it... Thirteen and one-half inches long, birch..."

"The new student needs to get his wand..." Snape obviously didn't like any form of nostalgia, so he interrupted Ollivander, "I come from an ordinary family and apply for school subsidies."

"Oh, this year's subsidy quota is no problem. We just need to fill in some troublesome forms... But why are you bringing this... um, this student to choose the wand?"

Although he was almost called a Mudblood, he was more concerned about the answer to this question than offending Jody. He seemed to be the first student to be picked up by Snape with his wand?

However, Snape did not intend to answer. He glanced at Ollivander lightly, and the other party shuddered when he thought of something and immediately changed the subject, "Oh, this should be Mr. Joyce on the list, right?

Which hand are you better at?”

'Two hands!' If he answered like this, would he find himself a pair of chopsticks? Jody had no interest in testing Snape's limits and answered obediently, "I'm right-handed."

I don't know if it was because he was frightened by Snape, a former Death Eater, but Ollivander was not as talkative as in the book, and he just measured Jody quickly.

"Well, I roughly understand it. It seems a bit difficult... Let's try this first. The inner core of grapevine wood is Thunderbird feathers, eleven inches." While muttering, Ollivander took a box from the side.

.

It feels like it's handy.

Jody took the stick in his hand, feeling a little silly as nothing happened.

"Haha, it's not that simple after all." Ollivander took the wand back and glanced at Snape's expression. Fortunately, he did not notice any impatience.

"Try this again, the combination of oak and dragon ribs. Nine inches..."

No one could have imagined that this test would last two hours.

During this period, various rejection reactions caused by the wand made the store a mess.

Jody was already wondering if after a while they should tell themselves that it was all a misunderstanding and he could go home on his own... hoping that Snape would use Apparition to send him back.

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Ollivander didn't feel a little irritated at all. Compared with his listlessness at the beginning, Ollivander at this time seemed to be on stimulants.

The strange thing is that Snape showed impatience for so long. In fact, after he went out halfway, he stayed by the door as if he had fallen asleep standing up.

"Sir, can't I just take one? It's fine if it works."

"No! Of course not, this is your first wand, the most important wand in your life!

It can carry your overflowing magic power and help you find the 'door' to release it; it will act as a medium between you and the mystery to prevent you from being overly affected by that power; it will accompany your growth together with the mystery in your body!

No matter how many wands you change in the future, only this one will bear your mark. This is also the characteristic of Ollivander's wand, and it is also the reason why Hogwarts chose my Ollivander as the only designated wand.

And the Ministry of Magic...yes! yes!"

Ollivander suddenly let out a strange scream, then abandoned Jody and ran into the house.

"Sir?" Jodi was confused, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Key, my key." When Ollivander reappeared, he held a bag in his hand and kept groping inside with one hand, "Ha! I got it."

Just when Jody thought the key was some strange-shaped wand, Ollivander passed him and ran towards the door of the store.

Then under Jody's surprised gaze, the old man opened the door behind the display window, got in and took back the only wand in the display window.

"Yes, it is it, it can only be it. Quick, quick!" Ollivander almost held the wand to Jody.

Jody glanced at the spider webs on Ollivander's beard, and it seemed like a few spiders were hurriedly crawling across.

Lifting his hand, which was already starting to become sore, Jody looked at the wand in his hand. It seemed thinner than the previous ones, but it gave Jody a strange feeling of being indestructible.

The wood was dyed black by something unknown, and it had a metallic coolness when held in the hand, yet it made people feel comfortable.

‘That’s it.’ Jodi didn’t know why he had such an idea.

In response to his feeling, the originally pitch-black color of the staff no longer seemed so deep. With a casual wave of Jody's hand, a breeze blew away the dust on his body... Or maybe it wasn't just dust?

At this time, Jodi only felt refreshed.

"I made it unintentionally. I originally thought it would stay with me in this shop until I die of old age... The ten inches that are almost just right are made of dragon locust wood, and the core of the staff is the heart of a ghoul.

Twisted tendon!" Ollivander's expression was almost crazy, "You have the only correct answer in this shop, so other wands are rejecting you! You were chosen by it from the moment you entered!"

"Ghoul?" Jody couldn't help but pay attention to such a strange term.

"Yes! The material is from the complete heart of an ancient ghoul, which is tougher than the heart of a dragon!"

In an instant, Jody understood why his wand had such a combination.

The undead corpse and the ghost-sealing locust tree, don't they correspond to the reborn self?
