This means that Dolly also knows the importance of matching and will not pick up the wand casually, even if she does, it will be useless - well, this sentence is for others.

During this month, he also tried several times to get Dolly to use the new wand.

The answer remains the same as always, Dolly is fully adaptable to all magic wands.

But in a sense, this is also a test, isn't it?

See what Dolly's character and temperament are like.

141 Determine the type of wand

Dolly watched Ollivander leave. She was very happy because her efforts were finally recognized by Ollivander.

Dolly does not have an accurate understanding of her own level.

After all, Dolly had never met any other wand makers, so perhaps they were pretty good?

However, it is obviously far from Ollivanders, and Dolly is aware of this.

So even though Ollivander allowed Dolly to work in his place, Dolly did not do so rashly.

Instead, he began to think about what type of wand he should make first.

She could see that Ollivander had not taught her all the knowledge, especially the knowledge about making advanced wands, which Ollivander had kept back.

But he did not hide this reservation from Dolly, as if he was expecting Dolly to discover it on her own, or expecting Dolly to take the initiative to ask him to teach her.

In this way, perhaps the relationship between the two people can be upgraded from teacher and apprentice to real teacher and disciple.

However, Dolly had doubts about whether or not to become Ollivander's apprentice.

It's not that I look down on Ollivander's skills. As the best wand maker, if Ollivander is really willing to teach, it is equivalent to teaching the family inherited knowledge to an outsider.

Ollivander will be under tremendous pressure by then. If Dolly only tries to make wands superficially, it will be a shame to Ollivander's efforts.

Ollivander and Snape are different after all.

The basis of the master-disciple relationship between Dolly and Snape is that they can work together to kill Voldemort in the future.

But if Dolly becomes Ollivander's disciple, she might bring him even greater trouble.

Dolly quickly gave up this wild thought and focused on the matter of making the magic wand itself.

She was clear about her purpose, which was to make a wand that she could use in private.

Then the wand must be as suitable for her as possible and be made for combat.

After all, Dolly doesn't necessarily need to use magic in her daily life. As a Muggle, she still has the most basic self-care ability.

The only thing she had to worry about was that if she encountered some unexpected situation, using her wand to fight would cause more trouble.

After all, Dolly didn't want to be called in for questioning by the Ministry of Magic every time she used her wand. After all, many things could not be made public.

As for the regulations that minors may be expelled or punished by the Ministry of Magic for using magic outside of school, Dolly didn't care much about it.

Because very few wizards are actually expelled for using magic outside of school, the vast majority are just reprimanded.

Forcing young wizards who have learned magic to stop using magic is itself a very inhumane thing.

Next, Dolly began to select the wood she needed.

If you want pure strength, elderberry is undoubtedly the best choice.

The Elder Wand is a wand made of elderwood, but an elderwood wand does not necessarily mean it is an Elder Wand.

Elder is the rarest of wand woods, and has a reputation for attracting great misfortune, making elder wands more delicate to use than other wands.

They possess powerful magical powers, but disdain to accompany masters who are no better than others.

A wizard who possesses an elder wand often commands worldwide attention, no matter how long he or she has held it.

However, if you use this kind of magic wand, it would be equivalent to exposing your own strength, ambition and pursuit.

When the time comes, people who see Dolly using the elder wand might mistake her for a follower of Voldemort, and Dumbledore might even get furious.

So, although Dolly coveted the possible magical powers of elderberry, she put it aside for the time being.

After all, if you make such a wand in front of Ollivander, Ollivander's face will probably turn green.

If Dolly really needs such powerful magic, she can make it privately later.

After all, once the skills are learned, the tools can be made by oneself, and the raw material Dolly can be strengthened to fill the gap in skills between her and Ollivander.

This is also Dolly's biggest reason for not wanting to become Ollivander's apprentice.

In addition to elder, wands made of applewood, poplar, cherrywood, ebony, etc. are all materials that can be used to make wands with powerful magic.

Aspen, with its stylish ivory appearance and excellent charm-making properties, is prized by all wandmakers.

The ideal owner of an aspen wand is usually an accomplished duelist, or destined to become one, making the aspen wand one of the most suitable wands for duelling magic.

Cherry wands are primarily used by students in Japan, where possession of a cherry wand is held in high esteem.

A wand made of cherry wood has the power to kill, no matter what the core is.

If combined with a dragon's heartstring, the resulting wand would be impossible for a wizard without exceptional self-control and a strong mind.

As for ebony, this jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, making it well-suited for all offensive magic and Transfiguration.

Ebony wands are happiest in the hands of those who have the courage to be themselves.

These people often include non-conformists, highly individualistic people, or people who are comfortable being outsiders.

Wielders of ebony wands can be found among members of both the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.

The perfect match for an ebony wand is someone who will stand firm in their beliefs and will not be easily shaken from their purpose, no matter what external pressures may arise.

In addition to these materials, there are some other materials that Dolly is also excited about.

For example, fir trees.

Ollivander called the wand made of this material the survivor's wand.

Because his grandfather had sold this wand to three wizards, and they all survived mortal dangers unscathed.

This wand, crafted from the wood of the toughest trees, suits those who desire to maintain strength and a strong purpose.

They are crude, common wands in the hands of the indecisive, suitable for Transfiguration, and favor wielders with a focused, assertive, and sometimes intimidating presence.

Mahogany, with a flexible texture, is good at performing transformation.

Pearwood, this golden wood, produces wands of outstanding magical ability, performing at their best in the hands of a warm-hearted, generous, and intelligent person. Owners of pearwood wands are generally popular and highly respected.

Dolly looked at the wood one by one, and she was so excited that she wanted to buy a wand of each type.

But she happened to have this ability, and there were so many wands ready in Ollivander's wand shop, as if they were all tempting Dolly, wanting Dolly to reach out to them.

But Dolly finally endured it.

Ollivander wouldn't be angry even if she tried all the wands.

But Dolly felt that this mentality of succumbing to her desire for magic was not a good thing.

If Dolly really has a similar idea in the future, she might as well make a wand she wants and then build a collection room of her own.

Anyway, this shouldn't be done now.

So Dolly looked at the inner core of the wand again, intending to start choosing from the inner core.

Compared to wood, there are far fewer options for the core of a wand.

Because the core of a wand must be made of some special material from a magical creature, there are definitely fewer materials that meet this condition than a variety of woods.

In addition, many magical animals are protected animals and must be artificially bred to maintain the minimum number, making it even more difficult to obtain their materials.

Common core materials, which are also the three materials most recommended by Ollivander, are unicorn tail hair, dragon heart nerve and phoenix feathers.

Unicorn tail hair usually produces the most stable magic, rarely subject to fluctuations or blockages.

Wands made from unicorn hair are impervious to Dark magic and make the most loyal of wands: regardless of whether its first owner was a great wizard or not, it will retain a strong bond with that person.

The minor drawback of unicorn tail hair is that it doesn't make the most powerful wands, though the wand wood may make up for this shortcoming.

At the same time, if not properly cared for, unicorn tail hair can easily become gray, which means that the tail hair is "dead" and needs to be replaced.

As for the heart nerves of fire dragons, they can generally be used to make the most powerful wands and cast the most gorgeous magic.

Phoenix feathers are the rarest type of wand core.

A Phoenix Feather wand is capable of casting the widest variety of magic, though it may take longer to manifest this than a Unicorn Hair or Dragon Cardiac wand.

They appear to be the most proactive, sometimes acting on their own accord, something many wizards dislike.

Phoenix feather wands are always the most discerning in choosing their owners, as the phoenix itself is one of the most independent and detached creatures in the world.

These wands are the most difficult for wizards to tame and personalize, and loyalty from them is difficult to gain.

In addition, the hair of the Charmed One, the tail feathers of the Thestral, etc. are all very rare materials for making.

Because it did not meet Ollivander's expectations, he had almost no wand cores of this kind, or he did not display them.

When Ollivander trained his own disciples, he naturally hoped that they would choose one of the three options: unicorn tail hair, dragon heart nerve, and phoenix feather. Dolly did not want to break this principle.

After all, this was only the first wand she had made.

and many more……

When Dolly was searching for the box storing the wand core materials, she suddenly felt an electric shock.

She found it a little unbelievable, this was a magical world.

Something made her feel like she was being electrocuted. Could it be that there was actually some electrical appliance hidden in Ollivander's house and it was leaking electricity?

So Dolly began to search at the bottom, and in the process, the feeling of being stimulated by the electric current became more and more frequent, and finally seemed to become a kind of guidance.

Finally, Dolly took out a piece of material. Although it was the first time she saw it, Dolly knew that this must be it.

Because these are the tail feathers of the thunderbird.

The thunderbird is a large bird native to North America, most commonly found in Arizona in the southwestern United States, and is closely related to the phoenix.

Thunderbirds can create storms while flying and are highly sensitive to danger, so a house at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is named after them.

Dolly was familiar with Thunderbirds because of Harry Potter's sister film, the first part of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Around 1926, the protagonist Newt Scamander, the author of the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", rescued a thunderbird from traffickers in Egypt and named it Frank.

He later returned it to its original habitat in Arizona.

In order to make all the No-Maj citizens in New York forget the magical events that happened, Newt had to release Frank in New York and let him help spread the venom of the Winged Demon.

Finally, Frank flew back to Arizona and returned to his life.

But this story has nothing to do with what Dolly is going to do today. What Dolly is interested in is this feather.

Thunderbird tail feathers can be used as the core of a wand. Wands using thunderbird tail feathers are difficult to master, but they are usually very powerful and suitable for casting Transfiguration.

Because the Thunderbird is extremely sensitive to supernatural danger, wands made from its feathers are said to be able to cast spells before they are cast.

This undoubtedly best suits Dolly's current needs.

The reason she wanted a wand that she could use privately was to deal with special situations that might arise.

To put it bluntly, it was a sneak attack by other wizards.

The characteristics of the thunderbird's tail feathers can give Dolly more reaction time.

And Dolly didn't plan to use them directly to make magic wands, but planned to strengthen them with her own attribute points first.

This is undoubtedly a huge investment, but Dolly feels that it is worth it.

After all, there may only be one chance to strengthen the materials. After making the wand, strengthening it again means strengthening the entire wand.

After deciding on the material, Dolly looked at the dazzling array of wood, and at that moment she had her own answer.

That's fir wood.

Although some other wand materials are also good at Transfiguration, the luck that comes with fir wood can help Dolly survive sneak attacks better.

The attribute of luck really exists in the world of Harry Potter. The Laurel Luck Potion in Potions has such an effect.

After drinking the Lucky Spirit potion, people will be lucky for twelve hours. Before the effect of the drug wears off, they will feel that no matter what they do, they will succeed.

It was because Harry took the Felix Felicis that he obtained from Slughorn the memory of "Riddle asking Slughorn questions about Horcruxes".

Moreover, the tail feathers of the thunderbird and the fir wood are suitable for transfiguration, and transfiguration is what Dolly is best at now.
