The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Selling You to Knockturn Alley

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but the crux of the problem is lack of money.The twins made some money by selling maps at the beginning of the school year, but their research also cost a lot of money, and they haven't seen any money back.So their hands are not rich now, and they can't spend so much money.

The twins who wanted to buy a magic wand for their younger brother but had no money naturally thought of "Little Rich Woman" Ada, and they could only talk to Ada about it.

"The two of us can make six Galleons, but it's not enough to buy a wand from Ollivander." Fred held four Galleons in his hand, and George held a pile of Western May and Nat.

"So you all want to ask me to pool the money for the wand together, right?" Ada asked looking at the two of them.

"You don't need to collect it, just lend it to us." George said, "It's not easy for you to make money."

The twins knew that it was not easy for Ada to earn every Knut. Although Snape paid Ada, everyone knew about Snape's poisonous tongue.The two of them didn't think that Snape would treat Ada as warmly as spring, and the reward must be very humiliating.

In the summer vacation, Ada still did not choose to rest, but went to work at the Leaky Cauldron every day, and had to study until late at night.She was repeating this tiring life every day, and Fred and George were very distressed when they saw it.

"If it's not for the lack of money, are you planning to tell me that you want to buy a wand for Ron?" Ada put Fred in her left arm and George in her right arm, and questioned the two brothers.

The twins are taller than Ada, but both bend slightly to accommodate her.In this way, Ada can hold their shoulders without having to stand on tiptoe.

Fred and George didn't intend to tell Ada about this at first. They planned to tell Ada after they bought it.It's just that the two of them rummaged through all their pockets but couldn't find enough. Now their pockets are cleaner than their faces.

"Now you two go and bring Ron out, and then we go to Ollivander to pick a wand for Ron." Ada said, "As for the money of the two of you, put it away first, boys of this age pocket There can't be no money in here."

"But……"

"No, but, just do it, I'm a sister who is a few months older than you, do you want me to write to Charlie?" Ada threatened.

Ada is no longer the woman who used to be careful with every Nat. It doesn't matter if she is generous. Besides, Ron is not an outsider, and she really wants to help Mrs. Weasley.

The twins walked into the store, and after speaking a few words with Mrs. Weasley, they came out with a dazed Ron. Ron was still asking his brother, "Where are we going?" Why didn't you ask Ginny for ice cream?"

Ada had invited everyone to eat ice cream at Florin's last year, so Ron thought the twins had brought him out to Florin's.

"Ron, you also know that our family is very poor, and your things have to be used up, and you are so hungry..." Fred said earnestly, putting his hands on Ron's Over the shoulder, it looks like that.

"Mom and Dad can't afford to support you anymore. Later we will take you to Knockturn Alley and sell you to the old witch there, so that you won't starve in the future." George covered his face and said, as if the palm of his hand There were tears of reluctance in his eyes.

Although Ron didn't believe the twins' nonsense, he was still a little scared, and his freckled face was a little pale. He asked Ada, "Ada, isn't it like this?"

Ada didn't want to laugh at first, but when Ron asked, Ada really couldn't hold back, she smiled and said: "Of course not, although you eat... er... It's a bit much, but your How could mother do such a thing...George, hold me up, my stomach hurts from laughing..."

In this way, the silly boy Ron left the bookstore with his two unscrupulous brothers.Ada led the way, and Fred and George sandwiched Ron on the left and right, and it really looked like he was taking him to Knockturn Alley to complete the deal.

The four of them walked through the crowd, and saw Mr. Weasley and Percy who had just come out of the Owl Shop.As soon as Ron opened his mouth to call his father, Fred and George covered his mouth. It would be more like that if Ron was given a black hood.

Two years later, Ida came to the historic Ollivander wand shop again, and Ron finally understood what the three of them were trying to do, and his face became as red as his hair.

Pushing open the door, Ada took the lead and walked in. There were still customers in the store, so Ada and the others sat on the bench and waited for a while.The blushing Ron whispered to Ada, "Thank you."

The little boy in the shop was trying out his wand, and he had made such a mess in the shop that Ron's thank you sounded like a mosquito compared to the noise the boy was making.

Ada patted Ron's head and said, "It's alright for Shefred and George, they suggested it." Sure enough, stroking someone else's hair is a very pleasant thing.

Hearing this, Ron looked at his two brothers in surprise, he couldn't believe it.And the twins were looking at him too, but Fred and George's eyes seemed to say: What do you look at, and if you look at it again, you will be sold to Knockturn Alley!
The little boy who kept making noise finally left with his parents, and Ida led Ron to the counter.

"Ah, Miss Drizzt, the last time I saw you seemed like it happened yesterday." Ollivander stretched out his hand to Ida, "How is your wand, is it easy to use? "

Ada took out her wand and put her hands on Ollivander's. She said, "It's very easy to use. It's like my arm. Thank you for your superb skills."

"Yew wood, phoenix tail feathers, ten and three quarter inches, this wand can be said to be my proudest work." Ollivander checked the wand, Ida maintained the wand well, without scratches, No scratches, not even finger prints.

"The orchids are blooming!" Ollivander whispered, a bouquet of orchids bloomed on the head of the wand, "You took good care of it, and it likes you very much, it is resisting my spellcasting."

The wand is the extension of the arm, the way to cast magic, and the reliance of the wizard to live and work. Of course, Ada will do her best to take care of such an important partner.

Once the wand is lost, many wizards are only a little better than Muggles. Sir Poppington, the ghost of Gryffindor, was chopped 45 times with a blunt ax because his wand was confiscated. Headless Nick.

Taking the wand returned by Ollivander with both hands, Ida pushed Ron to the front, and she said: "My brother, Ron Weasley is going to Hogwarts to go to school, he needs a wand Wand, I leave this matter to you!"

Ollivander looked at Ron with his large pale eyes, and said, "Of course, Miss Drizzt, it's an honor to be able to provide wands to new students. So, Mr. Weasley, which one are you used to?" What about the hand?"

"Right hand," said Ron stiffly.

After that, there is a set of procedures that Ada and the twins are very familiar with, the tape measure that flies automatically to measure, and Ollivander's set of sales words, the wand chooses a wizard and so on.

Speaking of which, can't Ollivander change the version of salesmanship, every time he sees a customer who buys a wand, he will say it again, so the same, will Ollivander really not feel bored?
Ron started trying out wands one by one, applewood, beech, alder, and he tried a lot of wands, causing no less damage than the boy just now.It wasn't until he tried a wand made of willow that Ollivander stopped the red-haired imp from vandalism.

"Willow, with a core of unicorn tail hair, fourteen inches long," said Ollivander. "Each wand is unique, and it chose you, Mr. Weasley."

The texture of this wand is very beautiful. It is slender and long, which fits Ron's figure very well. Ron is taller than his peers.

"The ideal owner of a willow wand is often insecure..."

Ollivander started his tirade again. Ada and the twins sat on the bench and no one said a word, only Ron listened very carefully.These words of Ollivander sound quite brainwashing. After listening to his words, you will feel full of strength all over your body, and feel that you are the child of destiny, the one who is destined to be extraordinary.

"...It will choose those wizards with great potential, those wizards who have a long way to go, and will go faster with a willow wand. Chenghui, ten gold Galleons."

Ollivander finally finished his chicken soup, and Ron, who finished the bowl of chicken soup, returned to the real world.Ron stood at the counter, blushing and a little embarrassed. He was afraid that Fred and George were playing a joke on him.

Fortunately, this is no joke, the twins really want to buy Ron a wand, of course, Ada paid for it.Ada took out her small leather pouch, took out ten Galleons from it, and lined them up on the counter one by one.
