Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 159 Magic Wand Detection

After more than a week, the Triwizard Tournament finally made some progress.

At that time, Ike was taking a spell class, but not long after, he was notified that he needed to go to an abandoned classroom on the fifth floor, and some preparations before the start of the game required him.

Professor Flitwick gave him the green light, and he walked out of the Charms classroom amid applause.

The abandoned classrooms on the fifth floor have actually been tidied up a long time ago. It was originally to meet the borrowing needs of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Although for some reason, the two schools did not use these classrooms, Ike regretted it. It has been a long time, but these classrooms have not been deserted again.

And obviously, it has been cleaned up recently.

Walking into the house, the first thing I saw Ludo was chatting with a witch in a magenta robe.

"You're the first, Ike!" Ludo looked happy, "They're not here yet!"

"May I know what it is, Mr. Bagman?" Ike asked with a smile, and looked at the witch next to him who had an unnatural expression since he came in.

"And this one is..."

"Oh, this is Rita Starkey. She is writing an article about the Contest for the Daily Prophet. I need you to take a few photos and do a simple interview..." Ludo walked over He patted Ike on the shoulder and said, "Of course, the most important thing is the wand testing ceremony. We must check whether your wands are fully functional and perform well. After all, in the following games, wands are your most important tools. .”

"Dumbledore is upstairs with the expert, and he will come when you are all here." He said, looking at his watch, "Wait for a while, it will be soon."

"Okay, Mr. Bagman." Ike nodded, then walked to the side seat and sat down.During this period, Rita's eyes kept falling on Ike.

"Ms. Starkey, Ms. Starkey..." Seeing that Rita seemed to be a little absent-minded, Ludo said, "What's the matter, Ms. Starkey?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Bagman." Rita shook her head, showing a charming smile, "I'm just curious, you know, we all have a curious heart."

"Of course..." Ludo laughed. "In fact, it's amazing that he can become a warrior. Did you know that he actually..."

While Ludo and Rita chatted quietly, Krum and Fleur also arrived.After greeting Ludo, Krum walked directly to the corner and led him quietly against the wall.It was Fleur who walked straight towards Ike.

"You don't look like you are 15 years old." Fu Rong Shi Shiran sat down on the chair next to her, and said with a sweet smile, "If someone hadn't told me, I would really have thought you were the same age as us."

"Maybe, I'm a bit anxious about growing up." Ike replied, he would not say that this is one of the "side effects" of using the Time Converter, this kind of thing is completely unnecessary.

"It's really interesting." Fu Rong said, "I've heard a lot about you these days. Did you really send that Mad-Eye Moody to the hospital?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Professor Moody actually only stayed in the school hospital for one day, but I have been lying there for more than ten days." Ike explained.

"Really, I haven't heard of it." Fu Rong nodded thoughtfully.

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and after a while, Harry finally arrived.

He looked preoccupied, a little absent-minded, and a little dazed, mechanically greeted Ludo, and wanted to come to Ike.However, before he came over, Rita, who had always been preoccupied, happily pulled him away, and went straight into the broom closet in the corner.

"This...reporter, has it always been like this?" Fu Rong seemed surprised.

"I don't know," Ike replied. "She's a well-known reporter. She's very popular."

"But unfortunately, I don't often read newspapers, and I don't know her very well."

After a while, Dumbledore, Ms. Maxim, Karkaroff, old Crouch, and Mr. Ollivander walked into the room. After Harry was not found, Dumbledore asked: " Where's Harry? Is he here yet?"

"I was dragged into the broom by Rita, she wanted to interview Harry first." Ludo explained.

Hearing this, Dumbledore directly opened the door of the broom room, and quickly brought Harry out.

"Okay, everyone is here, please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander, he will check the wand for you to ensure that the wand is in good condition before the game."

Ollivander walked to the middle of the room with a smile on his face, nodded slightly at the five referees, and said, "Then, let's start, Miss Delacour, you come first, okay?"

After hearing this, Fu Rong stepped forward and handed over her wand.

"Very well, not bad..." Ollivander inspected the condition of his wand carefully, and it produced many small sparks and streamers with it, "nine and a half inches, very springy, made of maple, and..."

"Vela hair?"

"Yes, that's my grandma's hair." Furong said.

"Very good, in good condition." Ollivander nodded and returned the wand to Fleur without saying anything.

"Mr Kroom, it's your turn."

Krum was a little listless, and stuffed his wand casually.

"This is..." Ollivander frowned subconsciously, "Grigovich's work? Although I don't really agree with some of his views, this is a good wand."

"Hornbeam, dragon heartstrings, ten and a quarter inches..."

"Very good, very good." After returning it to Krum, Ollivander greeted, "Then Mr. Potter, it's your turn."

Harry, in a much better mood than when he first came in, handed over his wand.Ollivander's expression changed immediately, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I remember, I remember this wand..." Ollivander checked it very carefully, much more carefully than Fleur and Krum, "It's very well preserved, there is no problem at all."

"The last one, then, Mr. Strider, your wand . . . "

Taking Ike's wand, Ollivander frowned a second time.He checked more carefully, and looked up at Ike from time to time.

"I recognize it, this is my work..."

"Cedar wood, unicorn hair, twelve and three-quarter inches, a stable combination, a loyal wand..." Ollivander waved his wand, and a cloud of pure white mist floated out from the tip of the wand.

"It's amazing, very amazing, I can feel that this magic wand has experienced some very thrilling things, which makes it more mature..."

"It must be a good helper for you, Mr. Strider. It's repelling me." Ollivander handed back the wand. "It's like new. It's amazing."

"Thank you everyone, I'm done."
