The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 533 Ollivander's Wand Shop Returns in Grand Style

,

Standing at the entrance of Ollivander's Wand Shop, Loila couldn't help but hesitate. After all, the last time she stepped inside, she received a dozen or so Aurors, as well as an Auror disguised as Mr. Ollivander.

This was immediately followed by the Ministry of Magic's arrest.

"This time it shouldn't be like that, right?" Loila cautiously peeked inside through the glass and saw Mr. Ollivander intently staring at the wand in front of him.

This time it must really be him, right?

After all, it's impossible to pretend to be Mr. Ollivander for long, especially at a time like this—the start of Hogwarts for new students is just around the corner.

After thinking for a few seconds, Loila pursed her lips, gripped the wand in her sleeve, and then pushed open the door.

"Ah—welcome—wait—" Upon seeing that the person who entered was Loila, Mr. Ollivander, who had been smiling, immediately paused for a moment, and then the next second his face showed an apologetic expression.

"Miss Hamilton, I'm very sorry for what happened before—" he said, bowing his head, "Although it was the Ministry of Magic that forced me to do it—I'm truly sorry for deceiving you."

"Ah—it's alright, it's alright." Loila, who was initially a little worried, was caught off guard when she saw Mr. Ollivander apologizing.

She quickly said, "It's all—it's all the Ministry of Magic's fault for being so bad."

Mr. Ollivander gave a wry smile upon hearing this: "They really have gone too far—not only do they suspect Miss Hamilton, but they also forced me to write to you—and even had someone impersonate me—"

The Ministry of Magic is so annoying — Roy nodded slightly, but she hadn't come here to cause trouble for Mr. Ollivander; she was here for the wand.

After all, Mr. Ollivander had told him about wands before he was replaced by the Ministry of Magic.

Surely that story couldn't be fake?

If this is false, Roy will have to consider whether or not to get angry.

"Miss Hamilton is here about the wand, isn't she?" Ollivander clearly understood Loira's thoughts, and he nodded slightly, saying, "This wand was made over a month ago."

"I made this with Mr. Grigorovich in Germany on my own." He said, bowing slightly, and then carefully took out a wand from under the counter.

The moment the wand was mentioned, the apology on his face vanished, replaced by a look of pride.

"The material of this wand is extremely special—" Ollivander said in a low voice as he opened the wand box, "I have something to tell Miss Hamilton that must be kept secret."

"Gregorich once possessed the Elder Wand for a period of time—yes, the Elder Wand from the Deathly Hallows."

Ah—the Elder Wand?

Loila actually knew about this. She not only knew that Gregorovich once had the Elder Wand, but also that it later came into Lord Grindelwald's possession, and of course, it should now be in the hands of that old man Dumbledore—

Seeing that Loila didn't seem too surprised, Ollivander continued, "The Elder Wand was later stolen by Grindelwald—"

"Loila pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, and her pointed ears twitched.

What do you mean by stealing? It was borrowing. What's wrong with using the Elder Wand for a greater benefit, right?

Dumbledore's act was the real theft, okay? He took the Elder Wand decades ago and never thought of returning it to Lord Grindelwald.

Ollivander, oblivious to Loila's displeasure, continued earnestly, "Back then—Grigovich conducted a great deal of research on the Elder Wand."

"The most important point is—the shaft of the Elder Wand—"

"The Elder Wand's shaft is made of extremely rare elderwood—a material that has long been extinct, therefore—" Ollivander coughed as he said this, "Grigovich, in order to study the properties of elderwood, once specially ground some elderwood powder from the Elder Wand's shaft."

"what?"

Loila blinked in surprise. What if this had some effect on the wand?

Could it be that Mr. Gregorovich's actions caused Lord Grindelwald to lose to Dumbledore? Otherwise, how could that old man Dumbledore have won?

"But Miss Hamilton, please rest assured, the Elder Wand has not been affected in any way—because only a tiny bit," Ollivander said softly. "And now—that tiny bit of elderberry powder—is all on this wand."

He opened the box, revealing the wand inside.

It was a pale, slender-looking wand with a sharp tip, like a dagger, and a silver metal ring inlaid at the end of the wand.

"After being enhanced with elderberry powder—this wand possesses effects that it didn't have before," Ollivander said with considerable satisfaction. "It can now accept engravings of magic circles without affecting its use."

"Is this how it is?" Loila subconsciously reached out and picked up the wand. The wand felt quite cold to the touch, as if she were holding a block of ice.

Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be anything special.

"The wand itself is made of ebony—just like your previous wand, Miss Hamilton—and the core is made of Veela hair—"

"The length is also the same as your wand, Miss Hamilton," Ollivander said with great delight. "You could say this wand was custom-made for you!"

"Is this... like this?" Although she didn't feel anything special while holding the wand, Loila couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

She looked at Mr. Ollivander, pursed her lips, and said, "How much does this wand cost?"

"Is one thousand gallons enough?"

Mr. Ollivander paused for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly waved his hand: "Miss Hamilton, you're joking. This isn't about money—"

"Because I almost got you thrown into Azkaban—how could I possibly ask you for money?" Ollivander said, bowing slightly. "Miss Hamilton, please take this wand—my only request is that when the magic circle is engraved, please bring it back so I can admire it carefully."

"There's no magic circle engraved on this wand yet," he said with a smile. "I imagine Miss Hamilton would prefer to design the magic circle herself, wouldn't you?"

Hmm————

So, being caught by the Ministry of Magic actually has such a good thing about it?

Although Loila had seen the entire Elder Wand before, she was still aware of its preciousness—could she really just get a wand for free by taking a few days of paid leave in the Ministry of Magic's prison?

Well, now Royla has to change her opinion of the Ministry of Magic a little.

Seeing Loila holding the wand with obvious delight, Ollivander couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Miss Hamilton," Ollivander's expression turned a little strange, as if he had just remembered something. "Have you seen the recent newspapers?"

"Newspapers?" Loila almost never read newspapers; she didn't have that British habit. At most, she'd glance at *The Quibbler*, and the latest issue of *The Quibbler* featured a love story about Voldemort and a Japanese kappa—

Is Mr. Ollivander also interested in this matter?

Meeting Loila's puzzled look, Mr. Ollivander pursed his lips slightly and said, "Not reading the newspaper now is a good thing in some ways."
