The Magic Circle From The Harry Potter World
Chapter 5 Wands, Books, And The Weasleys
"Then first, I should buy a wand." After watching Professor McGonagall walk away, Bai Hao decided to buy a wand first.
He had been very curious about the wands in the HP world for a long time, so he went to Olivando's wand shop immediately.
When I came to the door of Ollivander's wand shop, I saw that the gold paint on the signboard outside the shop had peeled off, but I could see the words: Since 382 BC, we have been making excellent wands.
Bai Hao expressed deep doubts about this sentence. In 382 BC, the British at that time were probably still in a state of raw hair and blood.
Pushing open the door of the store, a gust of wind rang, breaking the silence in the store, Bai Hao looked around, but did not see Mr. Ollivander.
The entire Ollivander store is filled with boxes of wands. In addition to the boxes, there is a wooden reception desk with several ancient kerosene lamps on it. A quill is struggling to write on parchment. What's more, there is a movable wooden ladder behind the reception desk, which must have been set up by Mr. Ollivander to hold the wand on the high place.
Then Bai Hao is very strange, those wands that are placed high can not be retrieved with magic? What's the point of setting up a wooden ladder?
"Mr. Ollivander, are you there?" Bai Hao shouted into the store.
"Of course I'm here, sir." A vague voice sounded from behind, making Bai Hao's hairs stand up all of a sudden.
"Oh, shit!" Bai Hao couldn't help jumping up when he heard the voice that suddenly appeared behind him, and Guo Cui couldn't help but blurt out.
Turning his head mechanically, Bai Hao saw an old man standing behind him. He had a pair of silver-white pupils and his white hair was messy like a broom, but his whole person exuded a mysterious color.
Undoubtedly, the speaker was Garrick Ollivander, one of the three great wandmakers in Europe.
"Mr. Ollivander, please don't suddenly appear behind people and say something scary." The corners of Bai Hao's eyes twitched, and his heart felt a little chilly.
"There's no reason, has my vigilance become so bad now?" Bai Hao thought to himself.
At this moment, cold sweat was breaking out on his head. If a person in Aslant didn't realize that he was standing behind like this, then he would report to Hades.
"Relax, sir, it's the wand that chooses the wizard." Ollivander didn't respond to Bai Hao, but said something inconspicuous instead.
Bai Hao wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at Ollivander speechlessly. He was sure that Ollivander was the legendary Riddler.
This kind of person often likes to say some wild words to arouse the curiosity of others, and then makes people confused, unable to extract effective information at all, and finally the riddle guesser will be tortured by his thirst for knowledge.
"Mr. Ollivander, hello, I'm Bai Hao Felkes, a freshman who is going to enter Hogwarts this year." Bai Hao didn't pay attention to what Ollivander said, and made a self-introduction.
"Of course, the little wizards who came to me are all Hogwarts students."
"So, Mr. Felkes, which hand is your dominant hand?" Ollivander asked as he took out an old measuring tape from his pocket, the scale on it had become blurred .
"Right hand, sir."
As soon as the words fell, Ollivander took a measuring tape and measured Bai Hao's arms, forearms, height, head circumference, etc., then turned and walked to the store, rummaging through the pile of boxes, to help Bai Hao It's time to choose a wand.
"Mr. Ollivander, may I ask what is the use of measuring these data?" After all, Bai Hao couldn't hold back his curiosity. He never thought that these physical data could help people choose wands, but since there is such a thing, it must be There is a reason for it.
"Mr. Felkes, you need to understand that every wand is different, as they use different unicorn feathers, phoenix tail feathers, or dragon nerves as cores, and are carefully selected to complement the properties of the core. The material is used as wand wood, which means that each wand has a different character." Ollivander took out a box out of thousands of boxes, which was covered with dust and obviously aged. small.
"The human body contains infinite mysteries, which is the most basic cognition of wandmakers."
"So, twelve and a quarter inches, Populus euphratica, the tail feathers of thestrals, the perfect combination of life and death." Ollivander took out the wand from the box and carefully handed it to Bai Hao.
Bai Hao took the wand and looked it over carefully. It was a milky white wand with a very smooth surface. It was heavier than ordinary wands and weighed a little bit on the hand.
"This is my work a long time ago. At that time, my father was still around. With his help, I completed the making of this wand."
"The poplar wood used to make the wand is a sacred tree with extremely tenacious vitality in the eastern desert. I think you, who have oriental blood, should make a perfect choice for this wand."
After listening to Ollivander's words, Bai Hao waved his wand. He didn't take the initiative to use any magic, but there was no movement around him.
"Mr. Ollivander, what's the matter?"
"Ah, I knew it, yes, congratulations, Mr. Felkes, the wand has made its choice, and now you are its master." Ollivander said affirmatively.
Bai Hao was very puzzled when he heard that, nothing happened. In this case, he planned to cast magic on his own initiative.
"Ice modeling magic—lion." Bai Hao pointed his wand at an open space in the store, thinking silently.
A flash of white light flashed in an instant, and an ice sculpture of a lion the size of a Shiba Inu appeared in front of him, followed by ice crystals falling in the store.
"This..." Seeing this scene, Bai Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and he was very surprised. The casting speed was frighteningly fast.
In the past, to build a magic circle, it usually takes two to three seconds to release the magic, but now with a magic wand, the speed of building a magic circle is nearly doubled. A short time difference can save lives in battle.
"Very beautiful transfiguration, Mr. Felkes." Ollivander exclaimed.
"Trust me, this wand will be your most loyal companion in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander, I am very satisfied with this wand." Bai Hao expressed his sincere thanks to Ollivander, then took out 30 gold Galleons from his bag, paid for it, and then left the shop .
After leaving Ollivander's Wand Shop, Bai Hao bought everything in the admission list except books non-stop, and finally came to Lihen Bookstore.
Pushing open the door of the bookstore, I saw that there were not many people inside, the store was very large, the bookcases in the store reached to the ceiling, and all kinds of books were piled up in it, but because there were too many books, it seemed messy and even a little crowded.
The owner of Lihen Bookstore is a tall and fat lady wearing an off-white dress. When she heard a guest coming, she raised her head and put down the books she was sorting out.
"Little wizard from Hogwarts?"
"Yes, ma'am, I am an incoming freshman at Hogwarts this year." Bai Hao responded.
"Oh, are you a first-year freshman?" Mrs. Lichen said with a smile, "Look there, all the books needed for admission have been arranged and placed there, just take them yourself." book case.
"Thank you ma'am, but besides textbooks, I would like to buy other books."
"Then you can read whatever you want, and if you can't find the book you need, you can tell me."
"Yes, ma'am."
After finishing speaking, Bai Hao first collected all the textbooks he needed, and then walked around the store, his eyes constantly scanning the piles of books, looking for the books he needed.
But after looking for it, Bai Hao became impatient, because there were too many books and they were piled up in a mess, so he turned around and went to find Mrs. Lihen.
"Hello, ma'am."
"Hello, dear, what can I do for you?" Mrs. Lihen raised her head from the pile of books that had not been sorted out again.
"Madam, except for my textbooks, get me a copy of all the other different books in the store." Bai Hao looked up at Mrs. Lichen and said.
"All? Are you sure? My dear." Mrs. Lihen covered her mouth in surprise, "That would cost thousands of gallons."
"Yes, ma'am, I want all of them." Bai Hao said affirmatively, and took out hundreds of Galleons by the way, piled up shinyly into a small golden mountain.
"No problem, but it will take a while. You can come and get it at this time tomorrow." Since the customer has demand and money, Mrs. Lihen will certainly not refuse this big deal.
"Thank you ma'am, I'll put these Galleons here as a deposit first, and I'll come back at this time tomorrow." Bai Hao expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Lichen, "There are also these books, "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century" " Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells", "Spells", "Curses and Anti-Curses", "Dark Forces", "Gideroy Lockhart Novels Series", I will take it first, does your lady have any objection?"
"Of course no problem." Madam Lihen agreed.
The previous books are all Bai Hao wants to read, and the last "Gideroy Lockhart Novel Series" is a gift for the Felkes family.
Although Lockhart is a thief, the novels he wrote should be popular in Europe. Besides, he just plagiarized. Most of the content in the book is the real experience of others. If you show it to your family, you can learn more about the magical world.
After dealing with everything, Bai Hao also went to the Bouncy Magic Joke Store to buy a few gifts, and then returned to the Leaky Cauldron to join Xita Ya and the others.
As soon as they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, they saw the Felkes couple having a passionate chat with a red-haired middle-aged man, and standing next to the man was a fat woman who was also red-haired.
And Sitaya and Locke were also chatting with a pair of twins, laughing happily from time to time, and the twins were also red-haired.
When Bai Hao saw this scene, how could he not know that the Felkes family had collided with members of the Weasley family.
