Stark in Harry Potter World - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Wand Selection Wizard

Hagrid’s little pink umbrella is very peculiar.

William has seen him use this umbrella to perform magic more than once.

But Hagrid said that his wand had been broken, and he refused to acknowledge the peculiarity of the umbrella.

Although William was curious, he didn’t care too much. He is just a newbie now, and he hasn’t fully realized how extraordinary it is to be able to restore the broken wand to its original strength!

“Well, our little wizard is also impatient.” Ollivander turned his gaze to William again.

With that, he took out a tape measure with silver scales from his pocket.

“Mr. Stark, which arm do you use frequently?”

“Right hand.”

“Well, raise your arm, all right.”

Ollivander began to measure William, first from the shoulder to the fingertips, then from the wrist to the elbow, shoulder to the floor, knee to the armpit, and finally the head circumference.

William would like to ask: “Since the magic wand chooses the wizard, the size of each wand has been made long ago. It will not be made according to the size of the wizard like a wizard’s robe… Now measure it. What’s the point?”

But he didn’t ask, so upright… it’s easy to be beaten.

As Ollivander measured it, he whispered: “Every Ollivander wand has super magical substances, and this is its essence, Mr. Stark.

I am used to using unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves.

Every Ollivander wand is unique, because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same.

Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, you will never have such a good effect.”

The tape measure began to operate automatically, Ollivander shuttled between the shelves, constantly instructing Cedric to select some long boxes and move them down.

The apprentice Cedric, in a sense, is coolie.

But Cedric was not impatient at all. It was obvious that he liked the job very much.

“Okay.” Ollivander said, the tape slid to the ground and rolled into a ball.

“Then, Mr. Stark, try this one. It is made of hawthorn and unicorn hair. It is ten inches and has good elasticity.”

As an apprentice, Cedric took out a dilapidated notebook. He did not open it, but familiarly backed it:

“Page ninety-fifth, line six.”

Grigovich once said, “The hawthorn wand is a wand full of contradictions, just like the tree itself that breeds this contradiction. Its leaves and flowers can have a healing effect, while the smell of its branches can lethal…”

Ollivander nodded and started on-site teaching: “Although I disagree with most of Grigovich’s opinions, we are very sympathetic to the complex and fascinating properties of the Hawthorn Wand.

They only accept the owner who is most suitable for them.”

“Cedric, you remember, from my experience, this magic wand will be favored by wizards who are passing through their own confused period.”

With that, Ollivander snatched the wand from William.

“Obviously, it’s not suitable for you, kid.” Ollivander shook his head.

“Come and try this.” He drew out another wand with a black pattern.

“It’s made of apple wood and clam nerves, nine and one-quarter inch, very soft.”

Cedric said quickly: “Page nine hundred and twenty-six, line ninety-four.

Apple wood represents longevity, supplemented by clam nerves…”

“Yes! A combination of geniuses.” Ollivander rubbed his palms excitedly.

“Oriental wizards used this combination, and my ancestors used to make similar wands for Nico Lemay.

The effect seems to be pretty good, although people think it’s more of time magic or Philosopher’s Stone-come, give it a try, kid!”

As soon as William touched the wand, he felt the magic power all over his body pouring out uncontrollably.

Ollivander grabbed the wand immediately, but it was too late, and the door was blown to pieces.

“Oh, sorry.” William said.

“It’s none of your business, boy, the door will be restored soon, but this wand doesn’t seem to be for you either.”

Ollivander became more excited, he hadn’t seen such a picky customer for a long time.

“We will find it, the most suitable one, won’t we?”

William tried one after another, and the wands he tried were all stacked on the bench, and the stacks got higher and higher.

But Ollivander kept asking Cedric to draw his wand from the shelf, and his whole body was shaking, in a certain state of excitement.

“A picky customer can’t find the perfect match? It doesn’t matter, I think about it, I can always find the most ideal, perfect, and most suitable for you-let me think about it-oh, yes, How could there not be?”

Ollivander yelled, and Hagrid almost squeezed his little pink umbrella in fright.

Ollivander jumped and jumped, as if crazy.

“An extraordinary combination, cherry wood, phoenix feathers, twelve and three-quarters inches. Not bad, very hard.”

He walked to the window personally, and took the magic wand quietly lying on the faded purple cushion in the dusty window and took it up carefully.

William took the wand and felt his fingertips suddenly hot.

He raised his wand over his head, swiped down with a swish, across the dusty air, and saw a red light. The golden stars on the wand’s head were shining like fireworks, and the fluttering spots were cast on the walls.

Mr. Ollivander shouted: “Oh, great, oh, really, great.”

Cedric put the wand into the box and wrapped it in brown paper, while Ollivander stared at William with pale, colorless eyes.

“This wand is the last wand made by my grandfather-Gabord Otavi Ollivander-and the greatest wand maker in nearly two hundred years.

The material is rare cherry wood. Since my grandfather started this combination, this wood has become the favorite material of Mahotokuro School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

I thought this and the wand would always be stored in the window for exhibition, but I didn’t expect…”

Hagrid also applauded, “When I was a kid, this one was already in the window.”

William: “…”

What Ollivander was talking about was bluffing, but William was wondering in his heart—Is this old man sure that he was not responding to the “supply-side structural reform” proposed by the Ministry of Magic to destock?!

He didn’t dare to say this, but was puzzled: “Mahoto Kuro?”

“Oh, that is the only known magic school in Asia, although I don’t think this statement is accurate.”

As Ollivander said, he cleared the door that was blown up, and gave Cedric a “you know” look at the same time.

Cedric nodded imperceptibly, not knowing where, and took out a gift box.

His tone was still humble, but he became a salesman.

“I bought the wand back, but it’s not over. It’s a very expensive thing and needs regular maintenance.

But don’t be afraid! Our Ollivander magic wand shop has specially launched summer vacation maintenance packages:

As long as you pay three galleons, you can get five gallons worth of maintenance equipment, so that your wand will always be in its best condition.

If you pay five galleons, in addition to maintaining the equipment, you can get a two-year warranty card.

During the warranty period, unless the wand is broken, our Ollivander wand shop will repair it for free.

Of course, in addition, we also have a family package, which can guarantee all the wands of your family, but this cost is more expensive…”

William seemed to see the salesman in the barber shop again.

Before he said anything, Hagrid got up from his chair and shouted with excitement: “Come on, give me a set!”

William: “…”
