No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion
Chapter 803 Magic Wand
"Why do you want to use second-hand textbooks? My dad won't agree." Draco asked hurriedly.
"Alright, alright." Ou Mengmeng waved to Madam Malkin and took the two boys to the wand shop. She felt that these two little kids were quite annoying, but luckily Neville was not there, otherwise it would be even more annoying.
We arrived at the shop which is said to be the best wand shop in Europe, but Ou Mengmeng was a little too lazy to explain. What does the best wand shop in Europe mean? There are only a few in Europe, and there is only one in the UK. And there is only one wand maker. You say, a monopolist, you say you are the best, so who can say anything?
"Hi, Mr. Ollivander." Although Ou Mengmeng complained, she still greeted the old man honestly after entering the store. This old man was her grandfather's chess friend. If there was one person that everyone envied the most on this street, it would be Ollivander.
Although they don't close for three years and make a profit for three years after opening, they are only busy during the school year. The rest of the time, they just see who is unlucky and whose wand has problems and needs to be re-purchased. However, the wand is an extension of the wizard's hand, and people take care of the wand as they do their hands. Some, like wizard wives, may only use one wand in their entire lives. So the wand shop has so much inventory, made by old men for several lifetimes, and it's not sold out yet. So Mr. Ollivander, who monopolizes this street, has a lot of fun every year. How can we not envy him!
"Hi, dear, your grandfather said that he would make a wand for you himself. Is that true?" Mr. Ollivander saw Ou Mengmeng and didn't care about anyone else. He grabbed her with a look of agony.
"Well, I'm just a kid, so it's fine as long as I can use it." Ou Mengmeng showed him her mother's magic wand. She could use it anyway. In principle, she didn't have the courage to charge into battle like her mother, Eve, so it was fine as long as the magic wand didn't affect her life. Mainly, she felt that she was a cultured person, so it was fine as long as she could use the magic wand as a teaching stick.
"No, no, not only wizards choose wands, wands also choose wizards. This wand won't work." Mr. Ollivander quickly put the wand aside, took her hand, and said solemnly, "Baby, I'll give it to you as a school admission gift. Yes, our little darling is going to school, and she must have a gift from Grandpa Ollivander."
Mr. Ollivander said hurriedly that he was furious when he heard that old Foster was going to make a wand for his granddaughter, and that he wanted to make a "handle". Are wands measured in "handles"? We make them one by one! Do you really think that his craftsmanship, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is just a bluff?
I couldn't go and fight with the old man, so when Ou Mengmeng came, I didn't look at anyone else and hurriedly told her that I must not let the old man give a toy wand to the child, this was absolutely intolerable.
"Really, that's not necessary. My grandpa asked Headmaster Dumbledore for a handful of Foster's feathers, and asked Hagrid for unicorn tail hair and dragon nerves. In short... he has made full preparations." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly.
She asked her grandfather to make her a dozen or twenty magic wands. She also made a windbreaker like Fa Ge's. When she opened it, it was filled with magic wands. It was inexhaustible. The main point was to be handsome! You can use it in turn. I guarantee that the noseless monster will be inexhaustible. When he is not paying attention, you can kill him.
"Your grandfather can only make funny toy wands." Mr. Ollivander was about to go crazy, but he calmed down and said, "Okay, come on, let me measure your size first, and then I will make it with your grandfather."
He decided to take a step back. Even if he had to cooperate with old Foster, he couldn't let Penny go to school with more than a dozen toy wands. He had to tell the child that one wand was enough, as long as it was suitable. No wizard would have more than a dozen wands on his body for no reason. He wasn't going out to sell wands!
"Let's measure them first. They have been looking forward to their wands for a long time." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly, picking up Harry and Draco.
Draco and Harry's selection went smoothly. Harry got a wand with a phoenix feather as the core, just like in the book, and Draco got his own ten-inch hawthorn wood and unicorn hair wand.
Of course, for the Malfoy family's aesthetics, poor Mr. Olivento added a platinum handle cover for him and reluctantly charged him an extra ten gold galleons. Ou Mengmeng couldn't help but touch Draco's little face, "This guy is stupid and rich, touch him a few more times while he's still young."
Harry didn't dare to laugh, let alone touch it, but he really didn't think there was any point in adding a platinum handle. Now he had no money, and Draco paid for it. His wand cost seven galleons, which was one-third of Draco's wand.
"You will never understand the thinking of aristocrats. They don't seek the best, but the most expensive." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly. Draco's aesthetic always made her want to beat him to death.
"Petunia!" Draco had long been accustomed to Ou Mengmeng teasing him. The two had been fighting since they were young, and then went to Muggle elementary school together. After all, they had elementary school diplomas. Draco felt that he had become accustomed to being beaten.
Draco's family agreed to let Draco and Ou Mengmeng play together because they really felt that there was no one else for Draco to play with, like Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe. Not to mention Lucius, even Draco's mother Narcissa looked down on him.
Lucius was able to pass down the family legacy. Even when the You-Know-Who fell and his father-in-law and brother-in-law were sent to Azkaban prison, he did not go in. He also became an official of the Ministry of Magic and a director of Hogwarts. This was not achieved by just having money.
In the original book, he actually forced Dumbledore to back off a few times. So he has a good mind! For example, in the original book, Lucius hoped that his son could make friends with Harry Potter, which is what people who bet on both sides would do.
Petunia Foster was labeled a member of the Order of the Phoenix when she was born. Moreover, although the Foster family only opened a small shop in Diagon Alley on the surface, this small shop passed down from generation to generation actually represented their heritage in the wizarding world.
Foster's ancestors also produced several famous alchemists, otherwise the toy store would not be able to continue in business. All magic toys are actually works of alchemy. They may seem simple, but like Ollivander, they have been run for generations and are respected.
Petunia's mother, Evelyn, was born in Derwent. The Derwent family was also one of the oldest families in the wizarding world, and once produced a headmaster of Hogwarts. However, the family was very small, and by the time of Evelyn Derwent's generation, she was the only one left.
Therefore, Ou Mengmeng also inherited a manor like the Malfoy family, but because Ou Mengmeng was underage, the manor was hidden and sealed. This means that Ou Mengmeng is also a member of the nobility and enjoys privileges.
Even Lucius Malfoy would not dare to speak or act recklessly in front of old Foster. He certainly would not forbid Draco from making friends with Ou Mengmeng. (End of this chapter)
