Part-time as God of the Heavens
Chapter 328: Meeting Dumbledore for the First Time
"I will have some superficial knowledge," Zhou Yi said. "I think the wand is still made by myself, which can fit me better and be more convenient to use."
"You're right..." Mr. Ollivander looked at Zhou Yi seriously again, "but, are you sure you don't want to try it first? I think there must be a wand here for you."
"Okay." It didn't matter much anyway, Zhou Yi shrugged, "Then let's try it first."
After Ollivander heard the words, he immediately walked to the shelf next to him, hesitated for a while, took out one of the stacked long boxes, came to the counter, opened the box, and placed it in front of Zhou Yi, "Ash, With unicorn hair as the core, it is thirteen inches long and very hard."
"Well..." Zhou Yi picked up the magic wand, input a little magic power, waved it gently, and a small flower appeared in the air, "The connection is close...but normal."
With that said, Zhou Yi put the wand back in the box: "It can be used."
"Being able to use is not a criterion for choosing a wand, it should be the most suitable one," Ollivander understood, and he packed the box, retracted, and took out a box from the other side, "Try this! Blackthorn! Plum wood, twelve inches long, with a dragon heartstring as the core!"
"I'm not an Auror or a prisoner of Azkaban," Zhou Yi complained, but he still picked it up and waved it. A small flower also appeared in the air, but this time it was bigger, "It can be used."
"Sure enough, the effect of the magic wand is to guide magic and play an auxiliary role. The more suitable the magic wand is, the easier and more efficient it will be to mobilize the magic power in the body to release magic," Zhou Yi tried two magic wands in a row. , having come to a certain conclusion, I thought to myself, "If this is the case..."
"I seem to have met a guest who is not very picky... But, what does that say? There is always the most suitable one!" Mr. Ollivander continued to take out a box from the side, Put it in front of Zhou Yi, "Try this!"
After a while.
The counter is full of wands.
Hornbeam, elder, red cedar, holly shafts...
Thunderbird Tail Feather, Basilisk Horn, Long Horned Water Snake Horn Core...
All kinds of wood, all kinds of wand cores, but Zhou Yi still hasn't found the one that suits him the most, all of them can be used, but none of them are as described by Mr. Ollivander— —As if that wand was born to wait for you.
During such attempts, Mr. Ollivander was not only not impatient at all, but became more and more interested, more and more... fanatical.
A true wand maker, Ollivander is committed to finding the best wand for every wizard, no matter who it is!
It's like a sense of mission.
"Maybe this one will be what you want..." Ollivander rummaged through it, completely ignoring the clutter of wands on the shelf, and finally found an old-looking box and put it on the shelf. In front of Zhou Yi, he opened it, "Alder wood, with the phoenix feather as the core, the length is 33.66 cm (13.25 inches), and it is slightly elastic at the same time!"
"Well..." Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.
Before picking up the wand, Zhou Yi sensed that the magic element in it seemed a little restless.
As if urging Zhou Yi to pick it up quickly.
I've tried so many wands, and this is the first one that happens.
Zhou Yi picked up the magic wand, input a little magic power, and shook slightly.
In an instant, the flowers were full of flowers, and a feeling of blessing came to my heart. If it wasn't for Zhou Yi's keen perception, he would almost feel like he had an extra arm.
It has to be said that Ollivander's stick-making skills are still very superb.
"It looks like it's it." Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction.
"It's...it's amazing." Ollivander sighed, "There is no doubt that this is a perfect match."
"Yes, I'm very satisfied," Zhou Yi waved his wand and put it away, "However, I still need to buy some wand-making materials."
"Of course, although our shop has never provided such services before, it is not impossible," Ollivander did not refuse this time.
"By the way, how much?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Seven Galleons, sir," Mr. Ollivander opened a cabinet beside the counter and took out a key, "it was only the first wand of the students who went to Hogwarts. This is a great price, but it's your first time visiting our store, and it will bring an unprecedented amount of business, so..."
"Jingle Bell!"
The store door was pushed open, and the bell hung above it rang again.
"Sorry... Albus?" Mr. Ollivander apologized to Zhou Yi and looked at the door.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi also turned around and looked at the person coming.
The visitor was an old man with strong silver-white hair and a long and thick silver-white beard, wearing a pair of golden half-moon glasses, a pair of blue eyes, a kind face, and a tall and thin stature. Zhou Yi knew that in Under the old man's body, there is hidden magic power that can be called the top of the wizarding world in this world.
First Class Merlin Medal recipient, founder and keeper of the Order of the Phoenix, President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Wizard of Wizengamore... Albus Dumbledore!
This is a respectable old man.
"Olivander," Albus looked at the piles of wand boxes, then Zhou Yi, smiled and nodded, then looked at Ollivander and smiled gently, "It seems that you have met A picky guest."
"As long as I can find the most suitable wand, I am very happy," Ollivander sighed, looking around Dumbledore, "I remember every wand I sold, And everyone who took it...but now with you, it should be the one... elderberry and Thestral tail feather, fifteen inches...very powerful wand, amazing craftsmanship, isn't it?"
"That's right," Dumbledore looked at Zhou Yi with a smile, "However, I'm not here to find you this time... Let's wait until you've dealt with this gentleman's business."
"Then you may have to wait a while. This gentleman needs to buy some materials. I'm about to take him to my warehouse." Ollivander shook the key in his hand.
"Material for making sticks?" Dumbledore subconsciously looked at Zhou Yi, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Zhou Yi, Chinese, just call me Zhou." Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to Dumbledore, "I am a wandmaker and need some materials to make a wand... This is the first time I came to this place, in order to ensure the quality of the materials. Quality, so choosing to come to Mr. Ollivander... Of course, a suitable wand is also part of the purpose."
"So that's the case," Dumbledore said, shaking hands with Zhou Yi, "You are the youngest staff maker I've ever met, Mr. Zhou."
"There are always some talented people." Zhou Yi smiled, "Actually, I had something to look for in the future, but now that I have met you here, let's ask by the way, okay? "
"Of course." Dumbledore nodded.
"That's it," Zhou Yi paused, "I heard that Hogwarts is recruiting a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"Ah... Regarding this, we have found Professor Chino for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class." Dumbledore apologized, "I'm sorry... Also, there is one more thing I must explain to you, although it is not clear. The evidence proves, however, that he has not been a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts for more than a year so far."
"Ah, that curse, it's okay, I know it very well," Zhou Yi nodded and didn't give up, "It's like this, I think my teaching level and magic level are sufficient for this position, and... your school's black magic Defense courses, there is only one teacher, right?"
"That's right." Dumbledore nodded.
"If I remember correctly, your school has a total of seven grades and four colleges," Zhou Yi said eloquently, "If each college has separate classes, it will be calculated according to the time... I'm afraid Professor Chino has a week. Isn't there much time to rest in there?
In addition to the factor of fatigue, such teaching pressure is also likely to bring down a good wizard, especially when fifth graders have to face O.W.L exams, and seventh graders have to face N.E.W.T exams... Not only It's irresponsible to the professor, and it's irresponsible to the student, especially when the importance of the Defence Against the Dark Arts course cannot be ignored. "
"Well...you are right, this is indeed a question worth considering." Dumbledore replied after thinking for a while.
"So, if you change your mind and plan to recruit a second Defence Against the Dark Arts course professor..." Zhou Yi said, "I don't have any position at the moment, and I'm very longing for Hogwarts... Wait a minute. I'll rent a room in the Leaky Cauldron and wait until Hogwarts starts."
"After we go back and discuss, if we agree that this is necessary, I will immediately write to the Ministry of Magic for feedback," Dumbledore said, looking into Zhou Yi's eyes seriously, "But, before that, if possible... Can I check your ID? I'm sorry, but if we need to invite a wizard to serve, at least make sure..."
"Of course." Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, took out all the documents of his world directly from the system space, handed it to Dumbledore, and said calmly, "I think this is enough to explain something, you What do you think?"
"Well..." Dumbledore looked at Zhou Yi carefully again, and then took the documents, opened them one by one, checked them, and handed them back to him, "I originally wanted to test your magical attainments... Now It seems that there is no need for it, also, how can one become a staff maker, how can the level of magic be low?"
"Thank you for the compliment." Zhou Yi smiled, "I can assure you that my teaching level will never disappoint you."
"I'm looking forward to it," Dumbledore said with a wink and a smile.
"You two, I'm sorry to have to interrupt your communication, but I think it's best to do one thing that can be done first," Ollivander shook the key in his hand, "Mr. Zhou, you still need your material?"
"Of course, Mr. Ollivander," Zhou Yi turned around and smiled more and more gently because the plan went well, "I need to make a very special wand."
...
"Are you sure, what you want to make is one wand, not thousands?" Ollivander watched Zhou Yi pick out a lot of rare materials and nodded to him, indicating that he was going to buy it, with a strange expression on his face look.
There's no way it's not weird, after all... the materials are already piled up into hills!
"Yes... To be precise, the wand I need to make is very special, so I need to consume a lot of materials to conduct experiments." Zhou Yi explained.
"Ah... If that's the case, then it can be explained," Ollivander calculated for a while against the pile of materials, "If there is so much, about 1,500 gold Galleons will be enough. already."
"Okay." Zhou Yi didn't add a counteroffer, he directly took out 1,500 gold Galleons, put them in a bag, and handed them to Ollivander, "You can count them."
"No need, Albus is still here, if you really want to get into Hogwarts, you can't do a little trick, and for a staff maker, this kind of money is not necessary, is it? " Ollivander smiled and waved his hand.
"It's true." Zhou Yi nodded, "Then, I'll leave first, Mr. Ollivander, Mr. Dumbledore, we'll see you later."
"Looking forward to your wand," said Dumbledore and Ollivander in unison.
"It will surprise you." Zhou Yi smiled, nodded in greeting, then turned around, pushed open the door and left.
"So...a gifted man, Albus, he reminds me of Grindelwald, of you, of...that person."
After Zhou Yi closed the door and left, Ollivander said slowly.
"No, Ollivander, he is different. He makes me feel relaxed and happy... In short, he is completely different from Tom. Although he has enough strength and talent, he can still treat people politely." Dumbledore shook Shaking his head.
"Okay, I'm just a reminder," Ollivander shook his head, "Why are you here this time?"
"This is a private request of mine..." Dumbledore paused and said.
...
"Well... in this case, I'll have to go to the bookstore and buy an owl..." Zhou Yi arranged a plan in his heart.
Books, needless to say, if he wants to teach a class, Zhou Yi must choose a textbook, and he can't start composing himself as soon as he comes up.
As for owls, it is also a must. First of all, Zhou Yi can't buy any other magical animals, such as toads or cats, and a pet that can deliver letters is a must in the wizarding world. Telepathy is projected over, the former is too troublesome, and the latter... do you want to scare people to death?
"However, Dumbledore's silent Legilimency is really strong..." Zhou Yi thought to himself as he walked towards his destination, "I almost broke through my usual mental barrier."
ps: The relentless walking machine is online
After drinking a cup of milk tea, in order to lose weight, I finished writing early and went for a walk!
Also, there is a bug in front of me, the goblin casts spells without a stick, it has been fixed... I haven't watched Harry Potter for a long time and can't remember some details. I just bought a copy of "Harry Potter Encyclopedia" and I am going to read it carefully ~
