Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

In Eric's words, there was a firmness that could not be refused.

Although this sentence was said with a smile, old Tom had no doubt that Eric didn't feel that he was asking him to do anything.

More like a command.

Old Tom was stunned for a moment before he noticed that Eric had already changed his clothes for going out.

It's still the simple set of jeans and jacket, lined with Eric's handsome and soft face, which makes people feel good after seeing it. It's hard to connect with the little wizard who raised his hand yesterday and shocked everyone.

"Ok."

Without saying anything more, perhaps because he wanted to get rid of Eric as soon as possible, Old Tom simply packed up and took Eric out the door.

Compared with yesterday, today, in front of the brick wall leading from the Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley, there are many more wizards wandering around.

The same goes for the front entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.

They were wearing long robes with bulging under the robes, with excited expressions on their faces, and some of them were holding bright cameras in their hands.

"Daily Prophet", "Hogsmeade Evening News", "Ministry of Magic Post" and other major newspapers sent reporters.

Their sense of smell is not insensitive.

Presumably they knew the information that Eric and Old Tom were acting together, and deduced that Eric might live in the Leaky Cauldron, and they had stayed here early.

The Leaky Cauldron was Old Tom's territory, they didn't dare to break in, and many people contacted Old Tom through letters, but they didn't get a reply.

So they can only wait here, waiting for their good luck to come.

A moment later, three alleys behind them, Old Tom led Eric out of the back door of an abandoned shop.

The interior of the shop has been abandoned for a long time, and there is only one tunnel leading to the ground.

He didn't forget to take out his wand to restore the secret passage to its original state. Old Tom remained expressionless the whole time. He has rich experience in getting rid of these paparazzi.

For all this, the reporters who wanted to stay with Eric knew nothing, and they didn't realize that their target had left the Leaky Cauldron.

"When will they be willing to give up?"

Eric glanced at the group of reporters and asked with a smile.

Old Tom said as he walked: "Until the photo of your face is taken and you agree to an exclusive interview with their newspaper. Do you know that you have a nickname now?"

"What is it?"

Old Tom gave a rare smile and said, "The Destroyer of Lihen Bookstore, the Conqueror of Monster Books, the man who broke the windows of Diagon Alley, and a lot of others I can't remember. You're going to be famous, kid."

"The creativity of wizards always amazes me sometimes."

Old Tom said sarcastically: "Yeah, I can't hold that many people in my bar anyway."

The two soon came to Ollivander's wand shop.

Ollivander's store has elegant decoration, the overall tone of the store is dark, and you can feel the mysterious atmosphere from inside to outside.

The shop also looked shabby, as if wizards didn't care about appearance.

Many of the outer walls have fallen off, exposing the inner walls.

There is also a gold-plated signboard with peeling fonts hanging on the door of the store: Ollivander, who has been making excellent wands since 380 BC.

In any case, the overall look and feel of Ollivander's store is much better than that of the Leaky Cauldron.

An old man with a white beard sat at the door of the shop, meticulously wiping a wand in his hand.

Without waiting for old Tom to greet him, Eric walked in on his own.

As soon as he stepped into the store, the system's notification sound immediately sounded: [Ding, congratulations on successfully arriving at the check-in location - Ollivander's Wand Store before the mission time limit. 】

[Sign in starts immediately, please do not leave the sign in place halfway. 】

After waiting for a while, the sound of successful system task sign-in sounded again.

[Congratulations on completing the task: before noon, go to the Ollivander Wand Store to sign in, reward: unknown. 】

[Reward: Wand Suitability. 】

[Wand suitability: Each wand is made of different materials. There will not be two identical wands in this world. Naturally, each wizard is good at using different wands. The fit of the wizard itself.Some wands even rebel against the wizard who wields them if used in the wrong way.Possessing the ability of wand adaptability will improve the fit with the currently used wand, treating each wand as one's own. 】

That's why Eric must urge old Tom to buy a wand today.

This task was received by Eric before he fell asleep last night. Eric didn't know what the reward was when he received the task, but looking at it now, the reward can be said to be super valuable.

The difference from the previous check-in task is that this task is time-limited.

Eric needs to arrive at the sign-in location before twelve o'clock noon today.

Considering the traffic in Diagon Alley at noon, Eric had no choice but to wake up old Tom and let him bring him to buy a wand.

There was no one else in the shop now except him and old Tom.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong with the plan, and Eric was relieved.

The wizards of Diagon Alley may not know who he is, but they all know Old Tom.

Judging by the group of reporters gathered outside the Leaky Cauldron, Old Tom and his reputation must be loud by now.

"Ah! Another little wizard without a wand!"

Seeing Eric and Old Tom enter the door, Ollivander quickly dropped his work and greeted Eric.

He looked very old, but his spirits were undiminished, and he was able to maintain this high level of excitement as long as wands were discussed.

Ollivander walked quickly to Eric, and kept saying, "He's a freshman at Hogwarts, right? Many little wizards have bought their first wands from me these days. Remember, the wand always chooses the wizard..."

While talking, Ollivander stopped because he saw Old Tom standing behind Eric.

Living together in Diagon Alley, the two of them are obviously very familiar.

The set of rhetoric he had prepared was stuck, and Ollivander's eyes widened instantly, and he asked in surprise, "Old Tom? You brought this kid here?"

What answered him was Old Tom's helpless smile.

"So, you are the one who almost blew up Lihen Bookstore with magic?" Ollivander reacted, looked at Eric, took two steps back, and asked.

Chapter 14 Miracle

Eric said: "To be precise, I didn't blow up Lihen Bookstore, Mr. Ollivander, it resumed business immediately."

True, it's just that the windows are gone.

Old Tom answered next to him, "Ollivander, we're here to buy this gentleman a wand."

Ollivander didn't even look at Old Tom, he circled around Eric twice, put his palms together, stared at Eric, and said, "It's amazing, it's amazing. "

"I haven't met a wizard as gifted as you for a long time, Mr. Clapton."

Eric said, "You know my name?"

Ollivander laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Oh! Almost all the shops in Diagon Alley know about it."

"For that, you have a lot to thank Merkel and, of course, he has to thank you."

"After you left, his shop was literally packed."

"I dare say that yesterday's turnover was more than that of his entire past week combined."

Eric smiled and said, "Wizards also like to join in the fun, right?"

"Of course, of course, the magic you used was too powerful. I vaguely remember that when I was sitting in the shop, there was a loud noise in the distance, which almost affected my shop."

Ollivander said with a smile.

He stepped forward, lifted Eric's arm very naturally, and led him to the counter.

"Okay, now, let's get down to business. Choosing a wand for a wizard as talented as you is, I dare say, this is one of the most important decisions in your life."

"Which hand are you good at writing with?" Ollivander took out his wand, tapped it lightly on the counter, and asked.

Eric smiled as he watched Ollivander play with it, then raised his right hand.

I saw several long measuring tapes flying out from the counter. They were of different lengths. With the dancing of Ollivander's wand, they approached Eric's body one after another, and began to automatically measure the length of Eric's arms, etc. and other data.

After a while, Ollivander seemed to sense something, turned around and walked quickly to the box where the wand was placed, and took out a wand from it.

"Aha, yes, let's try this one, Mr. Clapton. It's made of oak and the core is unicorn feathers. The material is very common, but it's very suitable for contact with nature."

Ollivander handed the wand to Eric, looked at him expectantly and said.

Eric took the wand with great interest and tried to swing it a few times.

In the next second, a wonderful sound of music suddenly sounded, as if someone was playing chords in his ears. Ollivander's store was filled with high and low notes, and the speed of the performance changed with Eric's movement of waving his wand. faster and faster.

From the cracks in the wooden floor under Eric's feet, seeds of flowers and plants burst out of the ground.

In the depths of the shop, the chirping of birds can be heard faintly.

Eric swung it a few more times, feeling the changes in the wand in his hand, and finally stopped slowly.

The moment Eric stopped, the music suddenly dropped an accent, then returned to calm, and the flowers and plants on the ground stopped growing.

"This……"

Ollivander and Old Tom stared at Eric with wide-eyed eyes. They obviously heard the music just now, and the change of the scene made them even more at a loss.

"How wonderful it is!" cried Ollivander. "This wand has chosen you! Mr. Clapton! It must be fate. I have never seen a wizard choose so quickly. own wand."

Ollivander waved his hands as if witnessing a miracle.

It was indeed a miracle for him.

The odds that a strange wizard walks into his shop, picks a wand at random, and actually finds the one that suits him best are extremely small.

Usually, when he chooses a wand for others, he has to go through at least three or four attempts before he can accurately find the connection between the wand and the wizard.

Like Eric, he found the right answer on the first try, something he had never seen before.

But in the next second, Eric's reaction made him almost think he was hallucinating.

Eric smiled and handed back the oak wand in his hand to Ollivander, saying, "This wand is really good, Mr. Ollivander, and I want to try something else."

Eric's move, not to mention Ollivander, even the old Tom who was watching was startled.

What is he doing?

If they understood correctly, Eric actually rejected this oak wand.
