Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 4 Garen, Pocket Money, and Magic Wand

Standing in the bustling street, Zhang Xiao looked around at the glamorous scene, and his heart was filled with unspeakable shock.

Although his parents had revealed to him the existence of Taoism and the magic world, the moment the brick wall at the entrance opened.

It was as if a heavy door opened in his heart, and a living magical world unfolded in front of him.

It's so real, so...at your fingertips!

The nearest one is a shop that sells crucibles. Large and small pots of various materials are piled up in a pile like acrobatics. They are rickety, but they just won't fall.

A chubby woman came out of the pharmacy, carefully holding a delicate crystal bottle in her hand, which contained a small piece of liver-like thing, and she could still hear her muttering as she passed by: "The price of dragon liver has increased, my magic Medicines have to go up in price too.”

The front of the broom shop always attracts the attention of children. A group of children lie in front of the window, staring at the shining Nimbus 2000 inside, exchanging ideas with each other.

On the signboard of the clothing store, a large pair of scissors clicked the air boredly, and there were baskets of bat spleen and eel eyeballs in the window, full of spell books, quill pens, rolls of parchment, medicine, etc. bottle, moon globe.

The street was full of people, Zhang Xiao compared it with Diagon Alley in Universal Studios in his mind.

Hmm. No comparison.

Zhang Xiao pointed to a crooked snow-white building not far away and asked:

"Dad, is that the Gringotts you were talking about? Are we going to get the money?"

Zhang Chengdao shook his head with a smile, he took out a small delicate cloth bag from nowhere and shook it in front of him:

"No need to go. If you want to meet the goblins, you can go for a walk. When I first came here, I exchanged some money and it's all here."

He opened the cloth bag and put his hand in it. Zhang Xiao looked at it in surprise. Although the cloth bag was only the size of a palm, half of Dad's arm was stuffed in just like that.

When he took out his hand again, there were already several coins of different colors in his palm.

"Nat, Xi Ke and Jin Jialong, the conversion relationship is not complicated. This is a Qiankun bag, and it is also a very rare item in Taoism. Here, this is a gift from your parents for the beginning of school."

Zhang Xiao took the small cloth bag in a daze, not knowing where to put it, of course he knew how valuable it was.

There are similar things in the wizarding world, such as Newt's chest, and the tent in the Goblet of Fire, Hermione's beaded pouch, etc.

But Newt's box is almost an heirloom-level magic item, the only one in the entire wizarding world!
Although the traceless stretching spell is an advanced spell, there are still many wizards who can use it. The difficulty is the mutual matching of the constant traceless stretching spell with other spells, as well as the constant spell.

And according to the speculation in the previous life, the difficulty of the Untraceable Stretching Curse is related to the size of the space. The smaller the space, the more difficult it is, such as handbags and pockets, it is even more difficult to break through the sky.

Li Qingshu looked at her son who didn't know where to put it, and smiled and helped him hang it on his waist:
"It's fine to hang it. There are also some arrangements on it, mainly fixed, anti-theft small Taoism, very safe."

Zhang Chengdao snapped his fingers very westernly:

"There are still a lot of things to buy, let's go separately, wife, you go and buy your son's teaching materials and other tools, right! Ask for the best! I'll take him to buy a wand."

Zhang Xiao hurriedly said:

"No need, just normal ones."

Zhang Chengdao shook his head and said solemnly:
"Respect Luo Yi first and then others, the current atmosphere in the magic world is not good, there are a group of people who look down on this and that, but they still have the right to speak, which is very annoying.

These foreign objects can save you a lot of trouble, besides"

Zhang Chengdao patted his son on the shoulder and sighed.
"We have a lot of money and don't know how to spend it. The prodigal is just right. I also put five thousand Galleons in your bag. It's your pocket money for this semester!"

5000 Galleons? ?A semester pocket money? ?
Zhang Xiao gasped, is the Daoist so arrogant? 5000 Galleons was enough to live on for the Weasleys for several years.

But think about it, as Longhushan, a super wealthy family that has been passed down for thousands of years, it would be strange if there is no money
Zhang Xiao followed his father to Ollivander. As another famous place in the novel, Ollivander's wand shop has a face that does not match its reputation.

It looked small and battered, and the gold lettering on the door had peeled off, and it read: Ollivander: Well-made wand since 380 BC. (Note 1)

A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.

As they entered the shop there was a tinkling of bells from somewhere at the back of the shop.The shop is small, with nothing but a bench.

But the whole store seemed to have been hit by a storm, with many long boxes scattered here and there.An old man is slowly picking up the box on the ground and gently wiping it clean, like some rare treasure.

"Ah, welcome!" The old man put down the box in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes were as bright as the moon.

"I just received a very picky guest and made a bit of a mess. Although magic can be used, I always feel that this will make the wands feel disrespectful to them." Ollivander approached Zhang Xiao, using a pair of silver-white His big eyes looked at him vigorously

"A strange guest, well, let's get started."

He took out a long tape measure with silver markings from his pocket. "Which arm do you use your wand?"

Zhang Xiao raised his right hand

"Raise your arms. Good." First measure from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally head circumference.While measuring, he said:

"Every Ollivander wand is unique, not only the wizard is choosing the wand, the wand is also choosing the owner, just like the picky little guest before"

Ollivander said that he suddenly stopped talking here, but his face still had an expression of aftertaste and surprise.

Zhang Xiao knew that he should be talking about Harry's iron boy, but he didn't care too much.

After the size was determined, Zhang Chengdao who was waiting at the side suddenly took a step forward, interrupting Ollivander's search for the wand, and said with a smile:

"Hello, I hope you can customize a wand for my son, using the materials we provide." (Note 2)

————————————————————————————————————————————

Note 1: Personally, I have doubts about this point in time. Apart from the pyramids, the oldest wizard that appeared was the despicable Haierbo around 100 BC. The oldest of the 28 pure-blood families are the Gunter family and the Black family in the Middle Ages. It was like this in about 800 AD, during which time the concept of a fine wand was not mentioned.

The Elder Wand first appeared around 1200. After checking the relevant information, I found that Ollivander’s introduction was “he firmly believed that his ancestors came from Greece.” That is to say, there are no relevant texts and historical records. Their family has a history of more than 2300 years. I seriously suspect that it might be that Aunt Rowling spent a lot of time writing the first book without thinking too much about it.

Note 2: Ollivander can customize the wand, and the materials can be prepared by yourself. This information comes from "Hogwarts Legacy". Aunt Rowling did not directly participate in the production, but the details and plot have been communicated with her, so it should be considered semi-official set up.

Note 3: This article respects the original work and Aunt Rowling as much as possible. As a second creation of a fan, slandering and maliciously changing the character design is no different from picking up the bowl to eat and putting down the bowl to scold the mother for the original work and the author.
