I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 268 The mutated wand

After Cedric, came Viktor Krum.

With slumped shoulders and splayed feet, Krum walked listlessly towards Mr. Ollivander.

He tucked his wand in and stood there frowning, hands in the pockets of his robes.

Obviously, he and Mr. Ollivander are now sympathetic.

"Well!" said Mr. Ollivander, "if I'm not mistaken, it's a Gregovich product," he said flatly.

"Grigorovitch is an excellent wandmaker, though I don't really agree with his style, though."

Mr. Ollivander did not go on, Gregorovich is one of the two major European wand makers who are as famous as Ollivander.

"Very good!" He raised his wand, turned it over in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.

"Hornbeam, contains the heart tendons of a dragon, doesn't it?" He glanced at Krum, who nodded, and Mr. Ollivander continued, "much thicker than people usually see. , very rigid, ten and a quarter inches, flocks of birds!"

There was a loud bang from the hornbeam wand, like a pistol firing.

A flock of birds fluttered out of the wand head, and through the open window into the pale sunlight.

"Very good!" said Mr. Ollivander, handing Krum his wand back.

"Miss Stewart next."

Hearing that, Coyatel walked over arrogantly from the corner where she was standing alone.

Then she took out her wand.

"Oh! This is?" Mr. Ollivander's eyes lit up, and he took her wand, "America Bakelite."

It was an elegant and calm wand with a unique large parabolic pattern (mountain pattern).

"The heart of the stick is—" Mr. Ollivander frowned slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, it's the horn of a long-horned water snake!"

"Yes!" Koyatel replied coldly.

"Twelve feet long and covered with scars, I don't think this is your wand, kid!"

"It belonged to one of my ancestors!"

Hearing this, Mr. Ollivander changed his voice and said seriously: "I must emphasize that it is the wand that chooses the wizard. Even if it is a member of the family who is related by blood, the wand cannot be passed down as an inheritance.

Haven't you noticed that every time you cast a spell, there will be a slight sense of interruption? "

"This can be overcome." Coyatel was unmoved, she stood where she was, like an island isolated from the world.

"Overcome?" Mr. Ollivander frowned slightly. He raised the wand in his hand, held it under Coatl's eyes, pointed at a small crack on it and said, "This wand is rejecting you. If you use it forcefully, Will cause damage to the wand, and I don't think it will last long."

Koatl didn't comment, she just took her wand back from Mr. Ollivander, then turned around silently, isolating herself again.

Seeing this, Mr. Ollivander could only sigh slightly. As a staff maker, all he could do was warn.After all, he couldn't snatch the wand from the wizard.

Alas - sometimes you have to choose to respect the fate of others, the fate of wands.

"Okay, Miss Granger, it's your turn."

The last one is Hermione.

It is understandable that her wand is the most shiny among all the people present, which may be related to her Muggle family background, so she takes great care of her wand.

"It's my product again!" said Mr. Ollivander. "Vinewood, Dragon's Nerve, Nine and Three Quarters. Oh! Your wand is in very good condition, boy. Compliments for that."

Looking at the joy on Ollivander's face, Owen inexplicably thought of a sentence, "Do you treat a wand like a lover?"

"."

Hearing the sound, Mr. Ollivander turned to look at him, his good mood less than half!
However, after thinking about what Owen said a few times, I realized that although it was vulgar, it was not unreasonable.

"A lover can't stay with a wizard forever." Mr. Ollivander said flatly, "But that's what it means."

Then, he turned back to Hermione's wand, "Druids classify any plant with a wooden stem as a tree. The wand made of grapevine wood has such special properties, so I happily use Druids." The ancient tradition of dividing them into trees.

Grapevine wood wands are quite special. I have studied this type of wand with great interest, and I found that almost all owners of grapevine wood wands have lofty ambitions, extraordinary foresight, and make people who think they know everything have nothing to say. people.

Grapevine wands are strongly attracted to their hidden personality and are more responsive to their owners than any wand made of wood.

The wand made from the heart nerve of the fire dragon is the most powerful and casts the most dazzling spell.

Wands with it as a core are more capable of learning than other wands.Although they can accept a change of ownership - if the new owner wins over the original wand owner.

Dragon-based wands are often the most susceptible to the dark arts.

However, they do not gravitate towards the dark arts of their own accord.

It is also the most accident-prone of the three cores, and its performance is the most unstable. "Mr. Ollivander said flatly.

Just gradually, his gaze became deeper and deeper, "Are you practicing some very powerful magic spell recently?"

Hearing the sound, Hermione was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes sir."

"Then I have to warn you, be careful of falling into the abyss of black magic. This wand has some signs that I can't understand. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I have never seen it.

The fire dragon's heart nerves will have unstable performance when trying powerful spells, which may cause you to spend more time practicing. "

He frowned, "You are destined to become a big shot, Miss Granger. This can be seen from your wand, but if you want to go further on the road of magic, then I would suggest that you change your magic wand." A magic wand.”

"No, it's easy to use, I like it." Hermione took back her wand.

Put it back in your pocket.

"Well, if you insist!" Mr. Ollivander did not force Miss Granger. The talent of the wand is not fixed when it is manufactured, it will slowly change according to the habits of its master. become more suitable for him.

This is why wizards have a lot of trouble using their own wands.

And Miss Granger's wand had obviously undergone such a change, but for a moment he didn't know whether it was facing the sun or hell.

After checking the wands for the five warriors, Mr. Ollivander slowly got up, nodded towards Dumbledore, and turned to leave here.

There is something dirty in the castle!

He doesn't want to stay here.

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly spoke, and he looked at Owen, "Show Mr. Ollivander your wand too."

Hearing this, Owen nodded.

Of course the old principal would say this.

What should I say - because his wand has undergone some small changes.

He went over, drew his wand from the inside pocket of his robes, and handed it to Mr. Ollivander.

"This?" Mr. Ollivander stopped in his tracks, took Owen's wand, his eyes were full of doubts.

"Is this a recent change?"

"Since half a year." Owen said calmly.

In fact, something had changed about his wand since he began to master ancient magic.

At first, Owen just found that his wand seemed to become translucent.

But then, in the past few months, he was surprised to find that some kind of crystals began to grow on the position of his wand, and the crystals 'ate' part of the wood. Now his wand is half crystallized, half The wood is gone.

The two sides are entangled in a spiral suit, which is very amazing to watch.

This kind of change naturally caught Owen's attention, but his wand hasn't shown any change in casting spells in the past few months, even—he felt that the magic power was smoother, so he didn't care about it .

"I remember, this is elder, phoenix tail feathers, fifteen inches long!" He frowned, "Elder is the rarest wand wood, and has a reputation of bringing great misfortunes. Using an elder wand is more expensive than using other wands. trickier.

Possessing powerful magical powers, they disdain the company of owners who are no better than the rest.Most wizards who wield an elder wand command the world's attention, no matter how long they hold it. "

"But-" Suddenly Mr. Ollivander paused.

"As a magical prop that penetrates the magic power, the most taboo thing about a wand is that the center of the wand is broken. This will not only destroy the core of the wand, but also weaken the transparency of the magic power. In ancient times, there were wand makers who experimented by pouring mithril into the center of the wand as a magic weapon. The most active metal material in the world's magic wand. Its addition not only does not make the wand more transparent, but also causes frequent interruptions.

Therefore, most of the wands made by me do not have too complicated patterns on the surface, and are mainly flat. Their biggest function is to protect the wand from breaking. "

He flicked his wand suddenly, but nothing happened.

Other people's wands can cast spells normally in Mr. Ollivander's hand.

Even if the Elder Wand is in the hands of another person, it can still cast spells, but without its approval, it cannot be used to its full potential.

But Owen's wand -

"This—" Mr. Ollivander's eyes flashed with surprise: "Are you sure this wand can still be used?"

It can be clearly seen from the cane that the crystal has eaten away at the core of the wand. Normally, this wand is useless.It was impossible to cast a spell, it was almost indistinguishable from a tree branch by the roadside.

But—in Owen's hands.

He stepped forward, grasped his wand like a demonstration, lowered his right hand slightly, and a silver half-moon-shaped light appeared at the end of the wand.

"Strange! It's really strange!" Mr. Ollivander said excitedly, "Did you know? This kind of wand was recorded in the notes of my great-grandfather, perhaps my great-grandfather.

A semi-crystalline wand that only its owner can wield. "

"Oh?" Hearing the sound, Owen became interested. He could probably guess who it would be, and it was nothing more than the heir to the ancient magic of the previous generation.

"It was a mighty thirteen-inch wand of yew wood and unicorn tail hair, which once belonged to a wizarding hero."

"Wizard hero?" Owen's eyelids twitched, this evaluation is not low.

Those who can win the title of wizard hero are all for saving the wizarding world from fire and water. For example, Theseus Scamander, senior brother of Newt, was famous for his impressive achievements in the first wizarding war (from his grandfather) Brush's exploits) were made war heroes by wizards.

People like this will definitely go down in history.

But - Owen has never heard of anyone receiving the title of 'Wizard Hero'.

It’s not written in the history of magic!
"You won't know her." Mr. Ollivander saw the confusion on the faces of Owen and the young wizards.

Then, with a look of regret, he said, "But she helped the wizard win a war."

"What war?" The curious Miss Granger approached.

She loved the feeling of uncovering the unknown history of wizards.

Especially after the World Cup, when she learned that "History of Magic" did not fully record the history of wizards, she became even more interested in collecting such stories.

This helps her gain a deeper understanding of the wizarding world.

"The first goblin war, of course, people now prefer to call it the first goblin rebellion!"

"Rebellion? War!" Owen repeated several times, and immediately tasted the conspiracy behind these two words. Changing war to rebellion not only reduced the influence of actual war in terms of words, but also easily Reducing someone's achievements, after all, it's just a rebellion, sounds very light.

"She did something that was taboo in the eyes of wizards at the time, so that her achievements were concealed by the Ministry of Magic. My ancestor's notes also kept it secret. The only thing that can be confirmed is that after the war, she suddenly died in the world. Evaporated and was never seen again.

And her wand was a normal wand that later became a semi-crystalline wand. "

"Then do you know her name?" Hermione asked curiously.

As long as you know the name, no matter how difficult it is, you can always find some clues.

"Oh! Let me think about it!" Mr. Ollivander raised his head and thought for a moment, "I know her last name, a pure-blood family wizard.

oh!I remembered, her name was Shani, Shani Maeve Weasley. "

"Weasley?" Owen and Hermione showed shocked expressions at the same time.

"From Ron's family?"

"Yes, she is a Weasley."

"This—" In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed crazily in Owen's mind, and he seemed to have caught something vaguely, but the feeling disappeared in an instant.

In short, the news gave him a whole new direction, regarding the Weasley family treasure.

"Shaney Weasley?" Miss Granger also said the name.

She hadn't heard the name.

They had also written a historical paper on the goblin rebellion before, and Hermione did a lot of research in the library.

But—the name.

Hermione swore she hadn't seen it in any of the books.

If what Mr. Ollivander said is true.

So - how could the wizard hero who could end a war end up in obscurity?What happened in the middle?
Thinking about it, Hermione turned her head and glanced at Owen.

Could this Weasley be related to Weasley's treasure?

If it is, doesn't that mean that the secret about her exists in Hogwarts Castle?
Vaguely, Miss Granger noticed a huge conspiracy.

"What a sad story."

Just when Owen and Hermione were lost in thought.

Dumbledore stood up from the referee's table and said to them, "How many tragedies are buried in history, even I have not seen them all."

"Okay, now you can go back to class. Maybe it would be more correct to go directly to eat. Anyway, they will end get out of class soon!"

"What, it's finally over?!" Bagman also stood up. When Mr. Ollivander checked the wand, he had been drowsy there, but now he became extremely excited, "Take pictures, Dumbledore, Take a photo! The referee and the Warriors can take a photo, and these two kids can also come. What do you think, the little wizard holding the camera?"

He was talking about Colin.

As the flash light fell, the images of everyone fell on the photo.

The image that carries history will eventually become history itself.

------

Regarding the interview, it was printed the next day.

The next day, the "Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler" successively reported the report on the competition and the content of this interview.

The report caused a great sensation and repercussions in the magic circle.

It's been the hottest topic in months apart from the World Cup.

Of course, apart from the sudden resumption of the game that had been suspended for a hundred years, what the British wizards were most concerned about was the fact that the heir of Gryffindor also participated in the game.

The Daily Prophet specializes in describing gossip, such as Kram's ex-girlfriend, Fleur's hundreds of suitors, and the resentment behind Cedric's loyalty.

Especially the inking of Miss Granger.

Except for the fact that it is almost like writing a fairy tale.

She focuses on the love life of the Gryffindor heir.

In her novel, Miss Granger incarnates as the owner of a fish pond, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with many boys.

Rita Skeeter didn't dare to say Owen's name directly, but she also mentioned a certain Hufflepuff wizard in a roundabout way.

For example: Harry and the others, she seemed much more unscrupulous.

Every boy you can name in Gryffindor seems to have developed some kind of underground love affair with Miss Granger.

In short, Rita Skeeter has a knack for attracting people's attention.

Of course—and thus sowed the seeds of her misfortune.

How a certain little witch who dared to go to the principal's office to steal things now will retaliate against her in the future is another story.

Compared with the "Daily Prophet", "The Quibbler", which has always been out of tune, is more reliable this time
Owen is responsible for sorting out the outline, Luna is responsible for writing, and he then reviews the manuscript.

This makes their articles lively yet rigorous.

The report details the lives of the five warriors and their prospects for the team's championship.

He also focused on introducing the schedule and format of this competition to ordinary wizards.

It looks like a serious newspaper.

Offensive and defensive changeable belongs to yes.
