Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

But he and Eric have similar personalities, and he also likes Eric's attitude.

That's why I can't help but feel a little regretful.

After witnessing Eric's refusal, Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel looked at Eric with a mixture of surprise and admiration.

Few people can refuse Nicolas Flamel.

Not to mention such a large fortune.

Nicolas Flamel said, "Eric, you've come all this way, I can't just leave without giving you something in return. As compensation, I can give you a gift. Show me your wand."

Dumbledore chuckled, “Few people know that Nico actually has a deep understanding of wands and soul magic, and he can help you strengthen your connection with your wand.”

This time, Eric did not refuse and handed the wand to Nicolas Flamel.

As soon as Nicolas Flamel picked up Eric's wand, his eyes widened in shock. "How did you get this wand?" he exclaimed.

Chapter 123 Ravenclaw's Wand!

Nicolas Flamel exclaimed in shock, "How did you end up with this wand?!"

Holding Eric's wand, he abruptly sat up from the recliner, his expression one of utter shock, even terror.

Nicolas Flamel's tone startled both Eric and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Eric's wand?"

Dumbledore is not omniscient; even he has many things he doesn't know.

There are just too many secrets in the magical world.

But this was the first time he had seen Nicolas Flamel so out of control.

Nicolas Flamel stared intently at Eric's wand in his hand, offering no reply.

His fingers were trembling, his pupils were wide open, and he was almost unable to control himself.

It took a long time for Nicolas Flamel to finally return to normal.

His gaze toward Eric held a mixture of relief and a sense of loss.

“...It really is fate,” Nicolas Flamel said softly.

Nicolas Flamel's words left Eric and Dumbledore completely baffled.

Eric asked, "Is there something wrong with my wand, Mr. Lemaître?"

Nicolas Flamel immediately replied, "No, no problem. I just didn't expect this wand to be in your hands. I thought no one else would ever be able to use it again."

Seeing that Nicolas Flamel's emotions had gradually calmed down, Dumbledore asked, "What exactly happened, Nico?"

Nicolas Flamel sighed and said slowly, "This is Ravenclaw's wand."

Neither of them expected that the name would come out of Nicolas Flamel's mouth.

Ravenclaw?

Dumbledore and Eric were somewhat lost in thought.

Is it the Ravenclaw they know?

As if knowing what they were thinking, Nicolas Flamel added, "That's right, it's the Ravenclaw you all know, one of the founders of Hogwarts, the creator of Ravenclaw House."

Dumbledore asked doubtfully, "Hogwarts was founded in 990. Ravenclaw's birth and death dates are unknown, but according to the information we have, she died shortly after Hogwarts was founded. That is to say, Ravenclaw died nearly a thousand years ago, and now it is 1993."

Eric said, "There is also no record of Ravenclaw using a wand when casting spells."

Nicolas Flamel said, “Olivendell has been making wands since before Christ. Is it strange that medieval wizards would use wands? Ravenclaw was a gifted wizard who could cast spells using any medium that could conduct magic, including short wands that were not common at the time. Your wand just happens to be one of the short wands that were first made.”

Dumbledore nodded and asked, "Then why do you recognize this wand?"

Nicolas Flamel said, "I am actually one of the creators of this wand."

"The Creator?"

“One of them?” Eric continued.

The two looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Clearly, none of them expected things to turn out this way.

Nicolas Flamel said, "It's a long story. Studying wands is one of my interests, but unlike the Ollivander family, I didn't turn this skill into a business. And this wand is actually an immature creation of mine from several hundred years ago."

Eric asked, "You modified this wand? How did you do that?"

Nicolas Flamel nodded and said, “Yes, I wasn’t the maker of this wand. It was an Ollivander from the Middle Ages. I don’t even know the exact year, but it was at least a thousand years ago. I obtained this wand by chance. At that time, I had just started studying wands and related technologies, so I made some experimental modifications to this wand.”

Nicolas Flamel said, "Albus just mentioned that I can help you, Eric, enhance your connection with your wand. This technique is actually an application of alchemy. I can use alchemy to allow you to fully unleash the power of this wand, increase your compatibility with it, and optimize its structure. Simply put, it will make it easier for you to use this wand..."

Once Nicolas Flamel started talking, he would go on and on.

Eric and Dumbledore didn't interrupt him; they simply sat to the side and listened quietly.

Nicolas Flamel's breadth of knowledge was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In his presence, even Dumbledore would sometimes listen quietly like a student.

After all, there's an age gap.

Simply put, the wand in Eric's hand has a close connection with Nicolas Flamel.

When Nicolas Flamel was young, he acquired this wand by chance.

Ravenclaw left no direct descendants, so after her death, all her personal belongings, including all her property, were lost, including her wand.

The acacia wood wand itself was crafted with exceptional skill, allowing Nicolas Flamel to freely express his ideas on it.

Nicolas Flamel's technique is different from others, and in some ways unique.

Apart from him, no one else could possess such ample time, along with such a profound understanding of alchemy and the soul.

The connection between wizards and wands is quite subtle.

Without external intervention, for a wizard to gain the wand's approval, certain conditions usually need to be met, or it usually requires years of use before the wand can gradually accept the wizard's approval.

For example, the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand is a wand with such demanding conditions.

As one of the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand only worships the victors.

Only by defeating the original owner of the Elder Wand can the wand gain the wand's recognition.

Dumbledore gained the right to use the Elder Wand by defeating its original owner, Grindelwald, decades ago.

Nicolas Flamel's technology can directly break through the limitations of time and various conditions, maximizing the compatibility between wizards and wands.

It's similar to Eric's wand compatibility.

It sounded quite unbelievable, but considering that it was Nicolas Flamel who said it, Eric had no more doubts.

Nicolas Flamel had never used this ability on Dumbledore's Elder Wand and did not know whether alchemy could overcome the limitations of the Deathly Hallows.

Even so, it's amazing enough.

The greatest alchemist was not given his name for nothing.

Unfortunately, Nicolas Flamel's modification of the acacia wand was unsuccessful.

At the time, Nicolas Flamel's skills were still very basic, and he didn't initially know that it was Ravenclaw's wand.

The wizard chooses the wand, and the wand simultaneously chooses the wizard.

The acacia wand is recognized by Ravenclaw and has been used by him for a long time, so it has long been marked with Ravenclaw's mark.

Nicolas Flamel's alchemy did not eliminate this effect; instead, it bound Ravenclaw's magic even more deeply to the acacia wand.

At the same time, alchemy permanently changed the appearance of the wand.

The acacia wand is characterized by its loyalty to its master, and Nicolas Flamel's actions have further amplified this characteristic.

Since then, no one has been able to use Ravenclaw's wand.

By the time Nicolas Flamel discovered this fact, it was too late, and he was unable to undo it.

A wand that cannot be used is no different from a piece of junk, no matter how valuable it may be.

Ultimately, Nicolas Flamel returned the wand to the Ollivander family, but made no mention of alchemy.

Because of the change in the wand's form, none of the previous Ollivanders recognized that it was actually Ravenclaw's wand.

They recognized their ancestors' craftsmanship only in the wand, but knew nothing else.

The acacia wood wand was thus left unused and shelved.

By a twist of fate, it now ends up in Eric's hands.

……

After Nicolas Flamel finished speaking, both Eric and Dumbledore were deeply moved.

I never expected there would be such a story behind this magic wand.

Nicolas Flamel picked up his wand and tried to channel magic into it, but as if a stone had sunk into the sea, the wand did not react at all.

"As I expected, I cannot use this wand. The Ravenclaw mark is still blocking other people's magic."

After Nicolas Flamel finished speaking, he noticed that Eric and Dumbledore were staring at him with strange expressions.

"What's wrong?" Nicolas Flamel asked.

Eric spoke first: "...Mr. Lemaître, is it possible that your alchemy will become ineffective over time?"

Nicolas Flamel insisted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I'm quite certain that the changes that have occurred on this wand are irreversible. Albus, what's with that look on your face?"

Dumbledore's expression was strange: "Eric can use this wand normally."

"What?!" Nicolas Flamel exclaimed in shock. "This is impossible!"

He immediately realized that Dumbledore had no reason to lie to him, and that the wand had indeed come from Eric.

Nicolas Flamel thought for a moment, then handed the acacia wand to Dumbledore and said, "Try to use this wand. If you can, then it means that the limitations of my alchemy have been lifted."

Dumbledore picked up the wand and tried to wave it, then was surprised to find that he was also unable to use the acacia wand!

Dumbledore's magic was also blocked.

Nicolas Flamel gaped in surprise. "The restrictions still exist... then why...?"

Before the two could speak, Eric reached out and took the wand back into his hand, then tapped it lightly in the air.
