The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 545 The Elder Wand

The wand was not born with the appearance of the first wizard. The wizards in the British wizarding world also followed the emergence of the Ollivander family to use well-made wands. Before that, their wands were all shoddy.

Today, there are still many wizards in Africa who do not use wands, and wands have never been a necessity for wizards.

As her magic skills became more sophisticated and her level of casting spells without a wand became higher and higher, Ada had some doubts about her wand.

It's not that she doesn't trust her old buddy, or that she feels that the wand in her hand is dispensable, but that she wants to know what is the subtle connection between the wand and the wizard.

For this reason, Ada also read some books related to the field of magic wands in her spare time, but these books failed to help her.

Professional things are left to professional people, so Ada thought of Ollivander.In the British wizarding world, no one knows more about wands than Ollivander.

"The wand chooses the wizard, and the wizard chooses the wand, but the relationship between the two is not constant," Ollivander said. For the same reason, the wand is just a tool after all, a tool used by wizards to cast spells."

The wand assists the wizard in casting spells and is the wizard's best partner, but it is also just a tool.All tools are replaceable.

There is such an example around Ada. Charlie once changed his wand, and Ron also changed his wand.Ron's first wand was a gift from Ida. The body of the wand was made of willow. In the contest with the Whomping Willow, Ron's willow wand broke.

The same is true for Grindelwald. His wand has also been changed, and it is still the legendary invincible Elder Wand.

It seems that the wand is really just a tool, but when casting spells and getting along with each other in daily life, Ada can feel that the wand has feelings.

In Rozier's family cemetery, Ida used someone else's wand. When she changed back to her own wand, the yew wand was actually quarreling with her, as if to say: You have a dog outside!
Ada also felt the strong emotional surge of the yew wand when she killed Umbridge at Hogwarts.It was a feeling of excitement, as if I had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"As a tool, shouldn't the wand have its own feelings, and shouldn't go against the master's orders and wishes?" Ada asked again.

"That's the way it should be," Ollivander said, "but it's the opposite."

Ollivander casually took a wand from the shelf, and continued: "I believe that every wand has life and feelings, and it will choose a suitable object of allegiance for itself. For example, acacia wood, Only those who have its sanction can use it, and without it a wand of acacia wood is no better than a stick."

Sticks can be used to hit people anyway, and wands that cannot cast spells are useless except for poking people's eyes and nostrils.I used it to fiddle with firewood, but I thought it was too short.

"As for violating the master's wishes and orders, such things have not happened before." Ollivander continued, "Take the wand with unicorn hair as an example. This kind of wand is extremely powerful when casting black magic. It doesn't perform as well as other wands, and it may fail to cast at all. But this is usually a rare occurrence, and wands made of unicorn hair try to avoid this when choosing an owner."

Ada was pacing in front of the tall counter with her hands behind her back, and some of her doubts were well answered, especially the contradictory characteristics of the wand, which is your most loyal partner, and it may leave you after a certain event .

Just like the Elder Wand, after the current owner is defeated, the victor will be recognized by the Elder Wand as its new owner.

"Mr. Ollivander, what do you think about the legendary Elder Wand?" Ada asked, this is another doubt of hers. After knowing that the Elder Wand is real, she wants to know the evaluation of professionals .

There was light in Ollivander's silvery eyes, and he said, "The Elder Wand...that's a story familiar to wandmakers. There are many wandmakers who spend their entire lives trying to make such a powerful wand..."

Just when Ollivander had some feelings and was about to express his opinion on the Elder Wand, several loud noises came from outside the shop one after another.The bell in front of the door rang, and Hartman, who was also disguised, entered the store.

"Miss, the Florin Fusco Cold Drink Shop was attacked by Death Eaters." Hartman explained the reason for the loud noise.

"Slow down their departure and buy time for Auror's support." Ada said, "Also, pay attention to safety."

Hartman took the order to leave, but Ida did not leave the wand shop.Ada didn't know why the Death Eaters attacked Florin Fusco, it wasn't because they didn't want to pay after eating the ice cream.

"Sir, Mr. Ollivander?" Ada called Ollivander's name several times before the shocked Ollivander came back to his senses.

In broad daylight, Death Eaters blatantly appeared in Diagon Alley and attacked the shops here. This incident will aggravate the fear of Voldemort in the wizarding world, and Mr. Ollivander, who is also a merchant in Diagon Alley, feels the same way.

"Mr. Ollivander, you haven't finished talking about the Elder Wand," Ada said.

"Oh... yes... that's right..." Ollivander was a little incoherent, he couldn't be as indifferent as Ada.

Ollivander continued: "I think Miss Drizzt should know Gregorovich, he is a very famous master wand maker."

Ada nodded and said, "Of course, sir. I know Gregorovitch, and even know that he briefly possessed the Elder Wand."

"Yes, it is said that this is true." Olivan continued, "But Gregorovich does not want to possess the Elder Wand, but wants to copy the Elder Wand through his own research and skills."

"Great idea," Ada marveled. "Don't ask, Grigovich failed."

Ollivander's expression was a little sad, as if he felt a little sorry for Gregorovich's failure.

Ollivander said: "Yes, he failed. Grigovich used the same material as the Elder Wand. Maybe the skill of making the Elder Wand has been lost, or there is a deviation in the selection of materials. In short, Gerry Gorwich made wands that worked poorly."

Speaking of this, Ollivander put down the wand in his hand, looked out the window, and said with infinite longing in his eyes: "I really want to meet the senior who made the Elder Wand!"

In the story, the Elder Wand is a piece of elderberry branch that Death randomly intercepted, but in the eyes of many wand craftsmen, they prefer to believe that this "Death" is a great master of wand making.

Or Antioch Peverell was a great master wand maker.

"If, I mean if," said Ada, "if I got it from the master of the Elder Wand by unnatural means, would it obey me and obey me?"

Ollivander looked away, his silver eyes fixed on Ada.

After a while, Ollivander said, "I'm afraid not. Taking into account all the rumors about the Elder Wand, to get it, you must defeat its current owner."

Regarding this question, Ada already had an answer in her heart, but after hearing Ollivander's authoritative speech, she was still a little disappointed.The Deathly Hallows is an alluring thing, and Ada is no exception.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ollivander." Although Ida was a little disappointed, she did not lose her poise.Before opening the door and going out, Ada felt that she should remind Ollivander.

"Mr. Ollivander, I think I am not the only one in the wizarding world who is interested in you." She said, "That person should not be as polite as me."

Hearing this, Ollivander's body trembled.

A wandmaker is equivalent to an arms dealer in the magic world, not to mention a master like Garrick Ollivander, his importance goes without saying.
