The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 544 Discussion about Wands

This day was a rare good day, and under Laura's continuous persuasion, Ada finally walked out of the office meeting and appeared on the streets of Diagon Alley in disguise.

The reason why she had to disguise herself was to save some face for the Ministry of Magic. Although the Ministry of Magic was about to be beaten into a fat man by Voldemort, Ida shouldn't give another stick to the head.

The Leaky Cauldron is no longer as lively as it used to be. Tom, the bar owner who looks like a wrecked walnut, is huddled in the counter and sighing.

There were only two or three customers here and there, and even fewer of the poor customers were willing to stay for a drink.They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Diagon Alley was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Some shops were not open during the day, and some shops had no customers even when they were open. Even Quidditch boutiques, which were usually crowded with crowds of onlookers, were deserted.

The whole Diagon Alley was in depression.

Voldemort's influence is real, and his reign of terror is ingrained in the hearts of every wizard.Even though Voldemort's comeback has been hit hard this time, and he has suffered successive defeats, it still hasn't affected people's fear of him.

Because of the fear of darkness and death, people lost their willingness to go out, and also lost their desire to buy, which caused a rapid decline in business in Diagon Alley, and the streets were deserted.

It is precisely because of the fear of darkness and death that it has given many unscrupulous traders the soil to breed.

These unscrupulous people resold some counterfeit and shoddy defense products, took advantage of people's fear and shoddy them, and made a fortune.

Since the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the Ministry of Magic has captured not many Death Eaters (all of them were rescued by Voldemort), but these unscrupulous traders have captured a lot.

Ada also discovered a fact that made her laugh and cry.

I don't know if the wizards in the British wizarding world are all trash and idiots, or some people protect them too well. Many adult wizards can't even cast a decent defensive spell, including some employees of the Ministry of Magic.

Although different departments of the Ministry of Magic have different requirements for employees, no one who can enter the Ministry is not bad, and they can't even cast defensive spells. The cruel and ridiculous fact is that Ada is absolutely right. think.

Ada really wants to ask: As a wizard, is the wand in your hand a firestick?Doesn't it feel hot to burn with this thing?

It was for this reason that Ada agreed to Laura's persuasion to go out for a walk.If she stayed in the Ministry of Magic and watched the group of idiots go back and forth, maybe Ada would have had a cerebral hemorrhage before she fought Voldemort.

The sky was clear, and Ada was walking in the deserted Diagon Alley, as if she had paid to reserve the place today.In front of Florin Fusco's cold drink shop, the colorful parasols are still open, but there are fewer people enjoying cold drinks.

Ada decided to go to the store and eat a big raspberry ice cream before returning to the Ministry of Magic.

Passing through several closed shops, Ada came to Ollivander's Wand Shop, which was founded in 382 BC. She wanted to know something, and she believed that Mr. Ollivander would explain it to her.

Ollivander's Wand Shop was a cramped, cramped, shabby little shop.Inside, the store is still the same, with cabinets reaching to the ceiling filled with thousands of wands in long, narrow boxes.

Mr. Ollivander, the master cane maker, did the same thing. After hearing the bell at the door, he stepped on a ladder and slid out of the shelves.

Ada took off her hat and camouflage, revealing her pretty face.Her voice was sweeter than silver bells, and she said, "Long time no see, Mr. Ollivander."

Ollivander, who was standing on the shelf, narrowed his silver eyes. He tremblingly got down from the ladder and said, "Long time no see, Miss Drizzt."

Ollivander continued on his own: "The yew wand can bring great power to people. Have you lost yourself in the process of pursuing power?"

"No, my footsteps are as firm as ever, and I haven't lost myself because of the temptation of power." Ada said, "I have kept in mind Mr. Ollivander's teachings, never be blinded by power."

Ollivander didn't continue talking, but stared at Ada's right hand, not knowing what it meant.

After a while, Ollivander said in a light voice: "I don't intend to comment on Miss Drizzt's career. What I want to say is that it is terrible, but it is also great."

Unlike Voldemort's reign of terror, Ada's path is somewhat similar to Grindelwald's, but somewhat different.

Ada has no extreme theory of wizard supremacy, nor does she have any plans to fight against Muggle society and rule Muggles. She just wants to make the wizarding world simpler and fairer.

But whether it's Voldemort, Grindelwald, or Ida herself, anyone who takes a similar path will go through a bloodbath.Only withstanding the baptism of blood can the old and decayed magic world glow with new vitality.

"I don't agree with your idea, Mr. Ollivander." Ada said, "If I succeed, Esmeralda Drizzt will be the greatest witch and will live forever. If I fail, I'm just a sinner in the magic world, and I'll leave a bad reputation for thousands of years."

This is the same as Grindelwald. If Grindelwald defeated Dumbledore in 1945, his career might be unstoppable, and his thoughts would sweep the world.

If so, Gellert Grindelwald would be synonymous with greatness, not a dying old man at Nurmengard Castle.

Ada is not particularly aware of the past between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but she has her own thoughts about the duel between the two.

She believes that Grindelwald, who owns the Elder Wand, did not expect that he would not be able to do it.For his own career, ideals, and for those followers who gave up their lives, Grindelwald should have been able to do it.

Contrary to Grindelwald, Dumbledore, who didn't have the old wand, didn't expect that he could really do it.For the so-called justice, for the thoughts in his heart, and for the unchanging magic world, Dumbledore should have refused to do it.

Putting everything aside, but from the perspective of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Ada is standing in front of the old grid, and Gao Cunyizhihua's attack is too ruthless.This is why Ada has always been afraid of Dumbledore.

"Mr. Ollivander, skills are different. You are a well-deserved master in the field of wands." Ada continued, "I have some questions about wands. I hope you can answer them for me."

There are people who can and dare to refuse Ada, but Garrick Ollivander is obviously not one of them, he has no choice.Despite this, Ada still puts herself down and regards herself as a latecomer, instead of putting on the airs of the devil and showing off the majesty of the devil.

"Wandcraft is a very profound science, and my ancestors and I have studied this field for generations." Ollivander said, "I can help Miss Drizzt as much as I can, but some things are not It can be explained clearly in a few words."

Mr. Ollivander, who is obsessed with magic wands, is eccentric by nature. He only has magic wands in his eyes, and there is no strict right or wrong.This can be seen from Ollivander's attitude towards Ada.

"Thank you very much," Ada said. "Mr. Ollivander, I wonder where the limit of the wand is?"

"Limit?" Ollivander asked uncertainly. After getting Ada's affirmation, he said: "I have made many wands and tried many combinations of materials. I don't know what the limit you are talking about is What's the meaning."

Ollivander continued: "For example, this wand in your hand is made of yew wood and phoenix tail feathers. It is powerful, there is no doubt about it, and it blooms the most gorgeous brilliance in your hand. Like the other yew-and-phoenix-feather bearer, his cause was as terrible and as great."

"In my understanding, the wand and the wizard are interdependent and mutually accomplished." Ada said, "That is to say, we have accomplished each other. What if I change a wand?"
