The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts
Chapter 6: Purchase equipment
Since the experienced Lucius and Narcissa know that buying magic wands is the most time-consuming thing, the first stop for shopping is the Orivand Wand Shop. After pushing open the old store door, the store rang jingle bells, Xie Lin looked around, this store is very small, there is nothing but a bench in front of the counter. Not far away, there are thousands of long and narrow cartons almost reaching the ceiling. Orivand has been engaged in the magic wand industry for nearly two thousand years and is one of the three major European magic wand manufacturers. Schelling remembers that the Orivand family is also one of the 28 pure-blood families of the sacred.
"Good morning." A soft voice came, and an old man seemed to suddenly appear in front of them. Draco was taken aback and couldn't help but grabbed Schelling's clothes. Obviously, this old man is naturally the owner of this shop, Garrick Orivand.
Schelling’s pupils can observe the magic of the old man in front of him with a very special keenness. Although he is much weaker than Lucius, he did not dare to underestimate the old man in front of him, and replied respectfully: " Mr. Orivand, my brother and I are new students at Hogwarts this year, and we need a new magic wand."
"Of course, of course!" Orivand's eyes fixed on Schelling, "The wizard needs a wand to cast magic, but remember, the wand is choosing the wizard! So, two Mr. Malfoy, who of you will come first? "
Schelling pushed Draco over. Orivand measured the size for him, first from the shoulder to the fingertip, then from the wrist to the elbow, shoulder to the floor, knee to the armpit, and finally the head circumference, and then he took out a magic wand and asked Draco to pick it up and try. Try it out. Draco tried several times, and finally selected Draco's wand to be hawthorn wood and unicorn hair. Exactly ten inches, with a certain degree of flexibility and decent design. Well, unicorn fur, it seems that Draco is still a simple child, Schelling thought. The unicorn is a beautiful animal that can be found in the forests of Northern Europe. A unicorn with a fully grown body is a horse with a pure white coat and horns. Unicorns are often attracted to simple and kind people. This also gives unicorn hair the characteristics of favoring kind people. The hawthorn wand favors contradictory personalities or wizards who are passing through a period of confusion.
It was Schelling's turn. After all the measurements were taken, the tape slid to the ground and shrank into a ball while Ollivander also picked up a magic wand. As soon as Xie Lin held it in his hand, he took it back. He frowned and thought for a while, then took out a magic wand for Xie Lin to try to hold it, but Xie Lin just held it in his hand and was taken back by him. After trying one after another, the same situation kept repeating. Schelling noticed that the wrinkles between Orivand's brows became deeper with each attempt. Olivander took a few steps back and forth, as if he had made some great determination, and took out a very old-style box, "Try this one, fourteen and a half inches, vine wood, and the core of the rod is Yeqi Ouha, this is the last wand made by my great grandfather. He was a very famous wand maker at the time."
Xie Lin had just received his hand, a stream of heat gushing from his fingers, and the tip of the magic wand emitted a white halo, like ripples in the water, spreading outward in circles.
"Wonderful, very wonderful!" Ollivander's voice became softer and softer, "I don't really like to use Yeqi's tail feathers, but don't say, sir, you and this wand are indeed a very wonderful combination."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Olivander!" Schelling couldn't help but whispered, "What made you feel strange just now?"
Schelling is really curious. Most of the wands made by Ollivander use materials from the phoenix, unicorn, and dragon as the core, and the inner core of the wand in his hand is the tail feathers of the night skele, which is similar to that made by Ollivander. The other wands are different.
"As we all know, Ye Qi is regarded as a symbol of bad luck." Ollivander stared at Schelling with milky pupils. "This is a very strange substance. Only a wizard who can control death can control it. And the wand of grapevine wood. It’s not a very common one, and I couldn’t help but notice that their owners are always the aspiring but unseen wizards; my grandfather always wanted to make an old man that could rival or even surpass the legend. The work of the magic wand, I personally think this combination of magic wands is better than the old magic wands. The old magic wands only accept powerful wizards as their masters. Too much pursuit of power will only invite misfortune. The masters of the old magic wands rarely have good deaths. This magic wand is much more restrained in temperament. I believe its owner, Mr. Malfoy, you will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future."
Xie Lin felt very complicated, but he was relieved that the purchase of the wand was finally over.
Next, in order to save time, the Malfoy family decided to work separately. Lucius went to the bookstore to buy textbooks, Narcissa went to buy the cauldron and potion materials, and Schelling and Draco went to the Madam Morkin Robe Shop to buy uniforms. On the way to Mrs. Morkin's robe specialty store, Xie Lin curiously looked at the surrounding shops. There was a dim Ira Owl store, and there were low and soft whining sounds; a few children of the same age as them were lying down. In a shop window, staring attentively at a flying broomstick, Schelling heard a boy say, "Look! This is the latest model of the ground wheel 2000-the fastest flying broomstick!"
After regaining his senses, Schelling suddenly realized that Draco was quietly abnormal at this moment.
"Schelling, Orivan has to say that you will become an extraordinary wizard in the future, and I am nothing. I feel weak." Draco lowered his head and said sourly.
Seeing him like this, Schelling didn’t know what’s wrong with him, so he put his arms around Draco’s neck and said, “Of course I’ll be an extraordinary wizard. I don’t look at whose brother I am, but you’re not well. It's just practice, what do you say?" Draco shook his shoulder again after speaking. "You, you are too playful. Making friends is a good thing, but indulging in hypocritical mutual flattery and ignoring the study in reality, isn't the cart before the horse?"
"Hahaha, you are right." Draco suddenly wanted to understand, and smiled and said, "I want to start working hard too! As an older brother, I will never lose to my younger brother."
Mrs. Morkin was a short and chubby witch with a lovely smile and wearing a purple dress. She was standing at the door of the shop, and when she saw Schelling and Draco, she smiled and said, "Oh, two young gentlemen, Do you want to buy Hogwarts school uniforms? We have a lot of them here, in various styles, fabrics, and sizes."
Xie Lin smiled faintly: "Just give each of us 3 sets of regular plain robes that fit each other. In addition, I have some other requirements. After I buy the uniform, we can talk about it in detail?"
When the two were taken to the back of the shop to be measured by a young witch, Schelling heard someone come in to measure their size. He turned his head and saw a thin young man with black hair and a thin body. It feels like the boy seems familiar. Draco also turned his head at this moment and said, "Hey, are you going to Hogwarts too?"
The other party seemed to be at a loss, so he could only nod his head.
Draco continued: "My dad is buying books for us next door, and mom is buying school supplies on the street. Then I will drag them to see the flying broomstick. I don't understand why the first-year students can't have their own flying broomsticks. I think I’m going to force my father to buy me one, and then find a way to sneak it in. You think so too, don’t you, Xie Lin?"
Schelling rolled his eyes and ignored Draco, but smiled friendly at the little boy: "Hello, my name is Schelling Malfoy. This is my brother, Draco Malfoy. We are all freshmen going to Hogwarts this year, and it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Oh, hello, my name is Harry Potter, and I am glad to meet you, too." Harry replied.
"Merlin's beard, are you really Harry Potter?" Draco asked excitedly, "Oh, I mean, it's nice to meet you."
The three of them stood together and chatted for a while about the fantasy and longing for Hogwarts, and then chatted for a while about Flying Broomstick and Quidditch. After buying the uniform, Harry bid farewell to the two of them—he needed to buy other things. Draco was very excited about Rachelin to see the flying broomstick, but Schelling thought he was not too interested in Quidditch. After sending Draco away, he stayed and asked Mrs. Morkin about the type of wizard robes. The Madam Morkin Robe Store not only sells Hogwarts student uniforms and plain robes, but also sells a wide range of daily-wear wizard robes. There are decorative robes with carved stripes with a touch of golden light on them. Slender-looking slim-fit robe, loose-fit robe that makes people look very casual, robe that can be automatically lengthened as the height increases, and thermostatic robe that can be warm in winter and cool in summer; by the way, motorcycle All the robes sold by Mrs. Jin come with two functions of automatic ironing and automatic repair, so there is no need to worry about wrinkles, dampness, breakage, etc.
When Xie Lin read the original work in his previous life, there was always a question. The style of the wizard's robe was passed down from the design and aesthetics of the Middle Ages. For more than a thousand years, the appearance and design have been in place without any improvement. This kind of subjective factor is not to be mentioned for the time being. This large and fluffy wizard robe is not conducive to running and quick dodge. It is a drag in the battle between wizards, let alone when you trip over your own wizard robe. That's unlucky. Moreover, these wizard robes do not have any practical functions, such as the ability to defend against certain evil curses, or the ability to reduce weight and increase agility and speed, or they can change their appearance at any time and cooperate with the transformation technique. Functions of disguise and so on...
Based on Schelling's understanding of the wizarding world and magic, it is definitely not a fantasy to make a wizard robe with these functions.
After Xie Lin raised the question to Mrs. Morkin, Mrs. Morkin looked at Xie Lin with a very complicated face. She was amazed by the various ideas and ideas put forward by the young boy in front of her. She explained to Schelling that she could indeed make robes with these functions described by Schelling, but first of all, the wizarding world has been in the ordinary for a long time, and she believed that this expensive wizard robes would not have much market; secondly, she It is also admitted that the wizarding world has been standing still for too long. Compared with the ever-improving Muggles, the wizarding world is indeed far behind in the aesthetic and functional needs of clothing.
Then Schelling asked Mrs. Morkin to tailor a special set of wizard robes for her to use in combat, and stated her needs one by one. The tailoring of this suit of battle robe is mainly close-fitting and streamlined, and the fabric is made of bird snake skin-so that it can have enough flexibility to ensure the flexibility of the body; it looks more like a Muggle suit jacket. UU看书www.uukanshu.com Two cuffs must be sewn with a secret pocket, so that you can store wands or other weapons, so that you can enter the fighting state anytime, anywhere. The robe pocket needs to use the non-marking stretching mantra to expand the space inside, and at least can hold your own luggage and pocket book bags. In addition, the fabric needs to undergo special alchemy treatment, so that it will never be stained with dust and stains including blood. The waterproof and moisture-proof function can keep Schelling clean and dry at all times. Of course, the function of constant temperature and ventilation is also necessary to ensure that you can wear comfortably in any season and location. Originally, Schelling wanted to add functions such as defensive curses, reducing gravity, changing appearance, etc., but Mrs. Morkin said that she really couldn't do anything about it. No matter how much Schelling added, Schelling had no choice but to give up.
The cutting and sewing and special processing of this battle robe are quite cumbersome and time-consuming. Originally, Mrs. Morkin did not intend to take over the business. After all, with Madame Morkin’s status in the wizarding clothing industry, there is no shortage of business or money. , But when Xie Lin said that he planned to take this idea to Tuofan Garment Store to try, and may create a new name for Tuofan Garment Store and bring new popularity, Mrs. Morkin was shaken. Mrs. Morkin actually knows that the costume design committees in the wizarding world are too scarce and dull. If Tuofan’s ready-to-wear store really uses this to open up a new market in one fell swoop, it will really seriously threaten her future market share. Think of Morkin here. The husband had to promise Xie Lin to do his best. This battle robe is worth 30 gold gallons, which is more than seven times the average wizard robe. Mrs. Morkin said that she needs two weeks to cut and sew. After Schelling paid half of the deposit, she agreed to work on the work. After the completion, it was delivered directly to Xie Lin in the form of owl delivery, and Xie Lin left with joy.
