"Oh, of course, I heard that too. You don't have to apologize, Mr. Locke. It was a pleasure talking to you. I am impressed by your erudition. I hope we can communicate like this again next time."
Ollivander stood up quickly. He naturally heard the commotion outside the store. Although he felt sorry, he was still very happy because the wand he made had found a powerful wizard again.
"Me too. I admire your insights and experience in the field of wand making. You are a well-deserved master, and it is a pleasure for me to talk to you."
Locke praised Ollivander, which was both what he really thought and his rhetoric.
"Hahaha, Mr. Locke, you are exaggerating. I am still far from that. I have only made some achievements in wand making. I am totally inferior to you. You have made extraordinary achievements in many aspects."
Ollivander was very pleased with Locke's praise. After all, this was a powerful wizard who could cast spells silently without a wand. Moreover, from his conversation with Locke just now, Ollivander was roughly certain that Locke's achievements in magic must be among the best.
How could Ollivander not be happy when a wizard so young could reach such a level respects him very much and even recognizes his achievements?
"Mr. Ollivander, you are too modest. The achievements you have made in your own path are beyond doubt. I am absolutely sure of this. It's just a pity that I can't talk to you for a long time this time."
Locke looked disappointed, and seeing him like this, Ollivander blurted out without thinking.
"That's not a problem at all. If it doesn't work out this time, we can make an appointment for next time. But it probably won't work during this period. These two months are the enrollment period for Hogwarts, and there will be new students coming from time to time during this period."
Ollivander pursed his lips and thought for a while. Seeing him like this, Locke, who had achieved his goal, smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ollivander. Everything should be based on the most important things. Besides, it's only two months. I will find time to come during this time. But when you are done with your work, please do me the honor of visiting you."
"That's definitely no problem. Mr. Locke has already said so. I will definitely keep the appointment after I'm done with this busy period!"
Ollivander smiled and answered Locke in a resounding voice. After all, he also wanted to see what his wand could do in the hands of such a powerful wizard.
"That's it, I look forward to that day."
Having achieved his goal, Locke did not stop. He nodded slightly to Ollivander and turned to walk towards the store door.
At this moment, the battle outside seemed to have reached its most intense stage. He seemed to hear that Lucius was being beaten.
"Mr. Locke, take care"
"Dingling~"
As the doorbell rang again, Locke walked out of Ollivander's Wand Shop. As soon as he went out, he saw several red-haired guys and girls beating up the lonely old Lu.
"Damn it! You guys..."
When Locke looked over, Lucius had just been attacked by a little boy who looked no more than ten years old. Just as he was about to swear, he suddenly saw Locke standing at the door of the store with a frown on his face from the corner of his eye.
"!!"
Looking at Locke's obviously displeased eyes, the anger and rage in Lucius' heart melted away like ice and snow. He calmed down all of a sudden and quickly left the battlefield at the cost of taking two more punches.
"grown ups"
Lucius quickly tidied up his messy clothes and cloak, and finally cast a "Clean" spell on himself, then walked to Locke with a nervous expression and lowered his head.
"Little guy, are you here to buy a wand?"
Locke did not look at Lucius in front of him, but looked behind him. Behind him, the kid who had just attacked him quietly stepped forward with a look of unsatisfied look on his face, obviously intending to kick Lucius again while he was saluting.
Looking at the iconic red hair, Locke couldn't help but think in his heart that this world is different. Ron can actually use a new wand in his first year. It seems that the financial situation of the Weasley family in this world is very good.
"Um... yes, I did come..."
Ron stopped what he was doing when he was called. When he saw Locke's gaze, he realized that his actions had been seen. He immediately looked embarrassed. However, just as he was about to answer Locke, he was pulled behind him by the adult man behind him.
"who are you?"
The man, Arthur Weasley, looked at Locke nervously, his heart beating like a drum.
Because just now, Lucius, who was originally engaged in a full-scale fight with them, upon seeing the man in front of him, actually risked being beaten and was determined to salute him as soon as possible. This was obviously abnormal.
Everyone in the entire British wizarding world knows about the arrogant and conceited temperament of the Malfoy family, but now, Lucius did something that didn't care about his own face at all.
In today's wizarding world, there is only one wizard who can be treated like this by Lucius.
Thinking of Lucius's former identity as a Death Eater, Arthur Weasley's body became more tense, his right hand behind his back tightly gripping the wand. As long as Locke made even the slightest movement, he would attack without hesitation.
After all, he now has his children and wife behind him, so he dare not and cannot have any hesitation. Even if the final result is that he guessed wrong, he will not regret it.
Volume 1: Chapter 51 The real winner: Weasley!
"........................"
The atmosphere on the street became more and more solemn with Arthur Weasley's reaction. Behind Arthur Weasley, the members of the Weasley family became extremely nervous when they saw their father's reaction.
"Arthur............"
As a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, Molly Weasley naturally understood why her husband was so nervous.
At this moment, her concerns were the same as Arthur Weasley's, namely the four children around her. She had also quietly taken out her wand. As long as the situation was not right, she would retreat with the children without hesitation.
"Please calm down, sir. The same goes for that lady. Both of you should put away your wands. Your reactions are too extreme and you have scared the children."
Nothing Arthur Weasley and his wife could escape Locke's eyes. To be honest, Locke's strength was no longer in the same dimension as ordinary wizards. In his eyes, these ordinary wizards were no different from little chickens.
"!!!"
Locke's words made the couple's eyes widen slightly, but then they both did the same thing at the same time.
The two did not put away their wands. Instead, they raised their wands in sync and pointed them at Locke, thinking, "Since I've been discovered by you, I might as well not hide."
"Alas~ These are all old debts, and they still fall on my head."
Seeing this situation, Locke knew that he could no longer just say nice things. The prerequisite for winning people over with virtue is that the other party is willing to listen. But fortunately, he would not panic even if the other party was unwilling to listen.
With a slight hook of his right index finger, the magic wands in the couple's hands detached and flew quickly in front of Locke. He did not reach out to catch it, but just let it float in front of him.
"You two, are you willing to talk properly now?"
Controlling the two magic wands to float and rotate in front of him, Locke asked with a smile.
Everything happened so fast that the Weasleys were disarmed in a flash. Locke's silent disarming spell was so powerful that it made everyone present, including the wizards watching around, open their eyes and mouths wide.
But in fact, what Locke used was not the disarming spell, but the gravity spell he developed himself.
Now his gravity spell can still only work on a single object, but not on an area.
But even so, Locke's gravity spell is now strong enough, and he can perform more and more operations.
In a situation like the current one, seizing two wands is a piece of cake, but such a simple usage in the gravity spell that doesn't even consume much magic power can bring a crushing death to 99% of the wizards in the magic world.
And the most important point is that Locke's gravity spell has no counter-spell or effective defense. After all, his magic is essentially using magic to control gravity.
How could these wizards who don't even know what gravity is come up with any targeted solutions?
In addition, Locke's spells have always been cast silently and at will, and gravity can be controlled at will according to his thoughts, which naturally makes it more difficult to defend against.
This is also one of the reasons why Locke feels that ordinary wizards are no different from chickens in front of him. It's not that he is crazy, but it is the truth.
........................................
coax!
As Locke asked, the wizards around him came back to their senses from their shock and suddenly burst into huge discussions and noise.
“It’s really noisy”
The noise around him made Locke frown again. Then he looked around casually twice, and the next moment, everything around him became quiet.
"........................"
The wizards who were watching all around suddenly found themselves mute. No matter how they opened their mouths and shouted, no sound came out.
"Everyone, if you don't mind, let's find a suitable place to chat?"
Locke's words were meant as a question, but his tone was so irresistible.
The Weasleys, who had just witnessed Locke's methods and had their wands confiscated by Locke, knew they couldn't refuse such an invitation.
However, although they couldn't refuse, the two still wanted to try one thing.
"We can go with you, but not the children."
Arthur Weasley felt extremely regretful at this moment, regretting that he should not have had a conflict with Lucius just now.
If there had been no conflict with Lucius, his family would not be in such danger now.
"No need to do that. I really just want to talk to you. I won't do anything to you. Don't worry. And if we let them go now, they might do something stupid."
Locke rejected Arthur Weasley. To be honest, Locke had originally planned to leave after buying the wand, but he did not expect to meet the Weasley family and have some interactions with them.
In this case, Locke decided to go with the flow and talk to them. After all, this family are all high-quality talents.
There is no mediocre person in the family. Even Ron, who looks the worst, is actually mainly influenced by his character shaped by family factors, and his talent is not bad.
Especially the Weasley twins, Locke had been eyeing these two guys for a long time.
Both of them have good talent in alchemy, and it can even be said that they are very good. Judging from their performance in the original work, both of them are very likely to possess the valuable intuition and inspiration required for alchemy.
In addition, the two are twins. Not only do they have the same interests, they are also extremely good friends. They can be said to have a telepathic connection. With all these blessings, the effect brought about by their joint efforts is bound to be far greater than the normal one plus one.
Alchemy is an absolutely indispensable part of Locke's plan.
Therefore, the importance of these two twin stars, who are in tune with each other and, in game terms, have a high probability of having a super strong bond effect when combined, to Locke is self-evident.
Thinking of this, Locke's eyes passed over Arthur Weasley in the front and fell on the Weasley twins who were standing beside Molly Weasley tacitly to protect their sister Ginny.
"......"
The Weasley family didn't believe Locke's words at all, but looking at the current situation, they didn't seem to have the power to refuse.
"Well, since you're so worried, how about we go to the Leaky Cauldron in front?"
At this point, Locke suddenly raised his hand and gently brushed towards the Weasley family, cleaning the scars and stains caused by the fight. Then Locke also helped Lucius remove the bruise on his right eye.
"Thank you sir"
Lucius didn't expect that he was also involved. He was still immersed in the worry that he had caused trouble for Locke and would be punished. Locke's sudden move made him a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous Lucius, it's not a big deal, come on, let's go talk about it."
Locke did not mean to blame Lucius. He had been prepared for this situation when he chose to take over the Death Eaters. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, it all depends on the choices you make.
Volume 1: Chapter 52: Snape, the Pervert in the Corner
Because Locke suddenly muted everyone present, the wizards who were watching finally realized the danger of their actions, and they all lowered their heads and trotted away.
After they walked a certain distance away, they found that they could speak and make sounds again.
However, they certainly couldn't do the stupid thing of continuing to watch at this time, so for a while there was no one around Ollivander's Wand Shop.
World-weary penguin, dove
"Let's go, everyone. Lucius can treat you to a glass of butterbeer to ease the conflict between the two of you. After all, from a broader perspective, you are relatives, right?"
Seeing the onlookers dispersed, Locke returned the wand to the Weasleys, then motioned for everyone to follow him and turned towards the entrance of Diagon Alley.
"Aunt Petunia, come here quickly. This is where you can buy wands."
Just after taking two steps forward, Locke met Harry Potter, the savior, again. At this moment, she was waving behind her with a happy and excited look on her face.
Locke looked closely and saw the iconic lightning scar on her forehead as she jumped up and down.
"It's a shame. Such a good girl has such a scar on her head. You deserve to die, Voldemort."
Looking at Harley's exquisite dress and her lively and cheerful personality, it is obvious that Harley, who looks obviously more like her mother, is not as miserable as Harry. She is obviously living a good life.
"Harry, don't run too fast. Your uncle can't keep up with you. Please be considerate of him, okay?"
At this time, the vicious aunt in the original book also appeared from the side. She had a doting smile on her face and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Harry. Behind her was Vernon Dursley who also had a smile on his face.
"Hmm? Wait, that's......"
As Locke was walking and observing Harley's family of three, he suddenly caught a glimpse of black from the corner of his eye. When he turned his gaze, Locke saw a man with long greasy hair, dressed in black and wearing a cloak.
“This outfit…”
"Lucius"
Looking at the other person hiding in the dark and silently observing Harley's perverted behavior, Locke stopped and raised his hand to signal Lucius behind him to come forward.
"grown ups"
Lucius lowered his head slightly and walked forward, standing half a step behind Locke, pretending to listen.
"Look at that, isn't that your friend Professor Snape?"
Locke raised his head slightly and pointed to the front. Lucius, who had lowered his head slightly, looked up as Locke directed and saw Snape at a glance.
"Yes, sir, it is him. But it is strange that he seldom comes to Diagon Alley. He usually goes to Knockturn Alley, and......"
As he was speaking, Lucius also noticed that something was wrong with Snape. Following Snape's gaze, he also saw Harry and his family of three.
