The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 396 Magic Wand Detection

Not to mention that Dumbledore is a bit irritating sometimes, how could he have forgotten about wand detection, he just said it at the end on purpose!
In order not to let herself go too late and let everyone wait for her alone, Ada had to leave the tower in a hurry and headed for the wand testing classroom.

When Ada walked into the room, she only saw Fleur and Krum, not knowing where Harry had gone.

The size of the classroom is small, and most of the desks have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large space in the middle.Three desks were placed side by side in front of the blackboard, covered with velvet, and Ludo Bagman was chatting with an old man, who was Ollivander, a professional cane maker.

First examined was Fleur Delacour's wand, a nine-and-a-half-inch, springy maple wand with a core of Veela hair.According to Fleur, this hair came from her grandmother.

Then came Viktor Krum, shoulders slumped, slouching, standing listlessly in front of Ollivander.I don't know why, but every time I see Krum, he looks like this. Is he really nicknamed "Unhappy"?

Krum's wand comes from Gregorovich, another equally famous master wandmaker. The wand is ten and a quarter inches long. The wand wood is hornbeam and the core is the heart tendon of a dragon.

Then came Ida, and Harry still didn't know where to hide.It was ten and three-quarter inches long and resilient. The wood of the wand was yew with all sorts of dire rumors, and the core was the tail of some phoenix that Ollivander plucked from.

"Miss Drizzt, you and your wand really complement each other." Ollivander said, "Whenever I read your name in the newspaper, I feel that I have found a very good owner for my wand."

In the summer of 1989, Ollivander showed Ada what it means to be a professional and what a sales genius is.

In the summer of 1991, Ollivander once again showed Ada what it means to be a professional. It turns out that not only Ada is the "child of destiny", but Ron is also the same.

Although she didn't believe the old man's nonsense, Ada said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander, your superb skills have helped me get out of a lot of trouble."

Business blows to each other, and everyone is happy.Ada was happy, and Ollivander was happy, but someone was always upset, and Harry was upset because Rita Skeeter had just interviewed him.

Rita Skeeter, in a magenta robe, returned to the classroom first, followed by an unhappy Harry, whose face was longer than a donkey's.

In front of Ollivander, Harry also produced his wand.Different from other people's meticulous maintenance, Harry's wand is full of big handprints and looks dirty.

Mr. Ollivander was testing the wand, and Rita Skeeter was not idle either. She pulled Fleur and Krum for interviews, and finally used her bright red claws to pull Ada into the small broom closet next to the classroom. .

In the small broom compartment, Ida could clearly hear Rita Skeeter's breathing. Was she the one who interviewed Harry and Krum in this place just now?Why do you blame the aunt and Zhengtai for having such a strong image?
"Oh dear, I keep hearing about you from my peers." Rita Skeeter exaggerated, "I've always wanted to interview you, I've always wanted to know why orphans from orphanages are rejected Why does Bullido value it and have a relationship with the French family?"

Ada frowned immediately after hearing this, the words were too blunt.Rita Skeeter obviously didn't notice Ada's dissatisfaction, and said to herself: "Don't worry, I'm a self-disciplined professional writer, and I won't be like those shameful colleagues of mine."

In mid-air, a long, dazzling green quill was writing crazily and automatically on a piece of parchment, which read——

"When I mentioned her life experience, the fragile girl burst into tears. The girl recalled the tragic past and opened her heart to the kind Rita Skeeter..."

Looking at the non-stop automatic quill pen and the words on the parchment, Ada asked, "Do you call this self-discipline or profession?"

"Never mind it, let's talk about ours, it's just a shorthand quill," Rita Skeeter said. "And the first question, do you hate parents who abandoned you?"

Ada has not answered the question yet, the automatic quill pen has already written several lines eloquently, this time it is written: "Hearing the unfamiliar words of parents, the beautiful girl immediately becomes weak, her shoulders tremble unceasingly, the girl is in countless I can't help crying every night, missing my cruel parents, even though she was ruthlessly abandoned by her parents when she was just born..."

"Don't be nervous, speak freely." Rita Skeeter said, I don't know if she is really stupid, or pretending not to see, Ida's nose is almost crooked, she is still here to let Ada speak freely!

Ada finally knew why Harry, Krum, and Fleur all had such terrible expressions after the interview. This Rita Skeeter is really disgusting.

"What's going on?" Rita Skeeter exclaimed, the automatic quill and parchment that had been crazily writing suddenly burst into flames, like two balls of flames floating in mid-air.

"Although I've never met my parents, I know that liars and people who arrange others are going to go to hell after death and swallow a thousand needles." Ada said suddenly, "Rita Skeeter, do you want to try swallowing a thousand needles in hell, or are you unparented?"

"You..." Rita Skeeter pointed at Ada angrily, as if she wanted to scold Ada.

But how could Ada give the other party this chance? Ada stood up and said, "Excuse me, my grandmother won't let me play with uneducated people." As she spoke, Ada kicked open the door of the broom closet and strode walked out.

After returning to the classroom, Ada found that Dumbledore, Ms. Maxim, Karkaroff, and Barty Crouch also appeared in the classroom. The four of them plus Ludo Buckman, These five people are the referees and judges of this Triwizard Tournament.

Barty Crouch re-emphasized that the first event will take place on November 24, and the warriors will only be equipped with their own wands.Then it was time to take pictures, a group photo of the four warriors.

Fortunately, among the four warriors, only Viktor Krum has an old face, and the hair color of the four is not uniform, otherwise this group photo would be too much like a family portrait.

After the Warriors finished their group photo, Ludo Bachman got the referees involved, which was too busy for the photographers, because Ms. Maxim would block others no matter where she stood.

The classroom is too small, even if the photographer sticks it to the wall, it is still impossible to fit Ms. Maxim into the lens.In the end Madame Maxime had to sit down, and the others stood around her.

After taking the group photo, Rita Skeeter also came back. She adjusted her state and did not let everyone in the classroom see her ugly appearance.

Just as everyone was about to disperse and go to the auditorium downstairs for dinner, Rita Skeeter stopped everyone. She wanted to take a few single photos of the Warriors for her exclusive report.

It appears that the parchment Ada burned wasn't her only manuscript, the woman had backups.

Harry, Fleur, and Krum stopped helplessly, waiting for the single photo shoot.Ada ignored Rita Skeeter at all, and took her words as air, and Ada left directly, leaving the other three contestants looking at each other.

While having dinner in the auditorium, Ada complained to the twins about Rita Skeeter. She had heard it all along, but today she finally opened her eyes and saw such a disgusting mildew reporter.

The twins also advised her not to be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, it's not worth it.Rita Skeeter's report is not true, and it's not a day or two to be a sensationalist. This woman is a complete clown, a clown like Lockhart.

In fact, Ada didn't take Rita Skeeter seriously, just ignore this kind of person.But a few days later, Rita Skeeter's report on the Triwizard Tournament was published.

Ada didn't expect that besides Umbridge, there are people in the wizarding world who are toads, who don't bite, but are annoying enough.
