Harry took apart the red cloth rope, unfolded the parchment, and saw it said:
Dear Harry (The author shouted after reading the chapter: It’s just that the letter format is not based! The protagonist of this book is not based! Not based!):
See the word as face. You must have got a surprise tonight, right?
The first time I saw you in school, I recognized you as a famous Harry Potter in the wizarding world. Children in the wizarding world all grew up listening to your name, and I am no exception.
But at the request of the Ministry of Magic and Headmaster Hogwarts, please forgive me for not telling you in advance that I am from a wizarding family. I hope that our friendship will not be affected by my kind concealment.
I have also received the admission letter from Hogwarts.
We need to go to Diagon Alley to buy the items on the list. Tomorrow I will go to Diagon Alley. If you need to go with us, you can ask my Edward the Owl to bring me a letter back. If you are not free tomorrow, please tell me when you go to Diagon Alley, and I will go on that day.
Your loyal friend (the author's cry after reading the chapter: just according to Irving’s request, not kneeling and licking! The protagonist of this book does not kneel and lick! No kneel and lick!): Allen
Harry’s feelings were complicated at this moment. On the one hand, he was pleasantly surprised that he could continue to study at the same school as Alan. On the other hand, he was saddened by the fact that a good friend who regarded him as a sibling concealed such a big secret. But Harry had already I learned some common sense from Hagrid. In addition, as Allen said, whether people really interact with people can be felt, and Harry is more sensitive.
Harry asked Hagrid to borrow a pen and wrote directly behind the parchment:
Dear Allen:
I am very happy to continue studying at the same school with you. Our friendship will not change.
Hagrid (the key keeper at Hogwarts) will send me to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy items, we will meet tomorrow and we will talk in detail.
Your best friend: Harry
Harry, who finished writing the letter, found that Hagrid had taken care of the owl very dry and was feeding it sausage meat mixed with extra corn kernels.
"I am very good at caring for animals. Many Hogwarts animals are kept by me. Dumbledore trusts me very much." He found Harry looking over. Although Hagrid was pretending to be calm, his expression could not stop proud. The color betrayed him.
Harry walked over and stretched out the parchment. Edward the Owl immediately stretched out his left leg and motioned for Harry to tie the letter. Hagrid opened the window, and the waves were calm, and there were even a few stars looming in the sky. Edward fluttered his wings and, with Harry's joy, spread his wings into the night.
The next day, Morgan Le Fay deliberately got up early to prepare breakfast and urged his family to get up.
"Hurry up, Runn, Daisy, there are a lot of things to buy today." For shopping, like the female Muggles, witches are always very active. In this regard, the wizarding world and the Muggle world are common.
After eating breakfast at the urging of her mother, she once again went to Gringotts, Diagon Alley through the door key she applied for in advance. After taking out the gold coins, Mrs. Harris assigned a task to the older children: "Lun, you go buy everything Daisy and your father go to buy books and crucibles; Ellen, I will take you to buy the wand first, and then everyone will gather at Madam Morkin’s robe specialty store. Madame Morkin is the best! School uniforms must be bought. More decent!"
went straight to Ollivander, Allen had reason to suspect that Mrs. Harris was trying to save time so that she could choose a little longer at Mrs. Morkin's shop.
Garrick Ollivander’s wand shop is small and broken. The golden sign on the door has been peeled off, and it says: Ollivander, a well-made wand since 382 BC. In the dusty shop window, a magic wand stood alone on the faded purple cushion.
When they entered the shop, there was a ringing ring from somewhere behind the shop. The shop is very small, there is nothing but a bench. Thousands of narrow and long boxes almost piled up to the top of the ceiling. These should all be magic wands.
Because it is still early, although it is still in the beginning of the school season, there are obviously no other customers in the shop. The shop is very quiet, and Allen can't help but relax his breath.
"Good morning, you are the first guests to come to the store today, I am Garrick Ollivander." A soft voice said. An old man suddenly slid out from behind a counter. In front of Alan, he looked at Alan with his big, light-colored eyes. He seemed very happy.
It seems that I can see Allen’s puzzlement, "In most cases, people tend to go to other stores first, and then choose the magic wand. It’s really weird. I can’t understand their thoughts. For the wizard, the magic wand is The most important partner!" Ollivander complained.
"Dark purple-brown walnut, ten and one-quarter inches long, is a particularly beautiful wand, and a good wand for casting spells. I remember correctly, Mrs. Harris, long time no see!" Ollivant De suddenly turned to Mrs. Harris and asked.
"Oh, of course, your memory is still that good." Although she has answered the same question three times, Mrs. Harris is willing to cooperate with Ollivander to show respect for the master wand maker.
"Remember, wax it often!" Ollivander's eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Of course, I love it very much. This is my youngest son Allen. Today I took him to choose the wand." Mrs. Harris pushed Allen forward and quickly diverted Ollivander's attention.
"Oh, yes, Mr. Harris, let me see." He took out a long tape measure with silver graduations from his pocket. "Which arm do you use to make the wand?"
"I am used to using my right hand." Allen said, "Excuse me, Mr. Ollivander, does your last name mean that the ancestors of your family used an olive wood wand? Ollivander sounds like it. It’s kind of like an oilve (olive tree) wand (magic wand)."
"Ah, keen little wizard, you may be assigned to our Ravenclaw, but please raise your arms. Okay." Fortunately, the tape measure is operated automatically, and you don’t need to be assigned to Ollivander. Man stroking.
The ruler starts from the shoulder to the fingertip, then from the wrist to the elbow, shoulder to the floor, knee to the armpit, and finally the head circumference is measured. Although Allen didn't know how useful this measurement of his choice of magic wands during the rapid growth of his body could be, he still cooperates very well. Maybe this can narrow Ollivander's recommended range a bit? Allen is ready for a protracted battle. In his impression, he would be particularly picky when choosing a wand as the protagonist...
Ollivander shuttled between the shelves, busy selecting some long boxes and moving them down, and the tape fell to the ground and rolled into a ball. "Then Alan, try this one. Made of beech wood and snake nerves. Nine inches long. The beech wand can show its subtle and artistic skills, and this is how it can create other woods. The reason for the shining reputation of the competition, but the beech wand will be very weak against people who are narrow-minded and do not understand tolerance. You can give it a try."
Alan waved it in his hand, and there was an explosion. Looking at the broken shop window, Alan thought to himself: "Fortunately, I don't seem to be a narrow-minded, forgiving person."
Ollivander nodded in satisfaction: "Good luck, just this one, nine Jin Jialong..."
"Uh... wait! Mr. Ollivander... can I try again? I don't think it's completely easy..." Allen was shocked to find that he was judged to be suitable by the opponent the first one. He was unwilling to choose a wand. It's over as simple as that, so I want to make it more ritual, otherwise Alan feels a little sorry for himself....
"Huh? Why? Well... Since you insist... But okay, do you want to know more about the magic wand? Then you can try this one again. Apple wood with unicorn hair, made of apple wood There are not many magic wands. They are powerful, especially suitable for those who have lofty ideals and pursuits. Apple wood is not suitable for black magic. It is said that the holder of the apple wood wand will be loved by people and will have a long life. I find that the guests who are suitable for apple wood are always very charming." Although Ollivander did not understand Alan’s thoughts, he was obviously more detailed when experimenting with Alan’s wand than other little wizards. He paused and handed the wand to Alan, and began to introduce the core of the wand, "Unicorn hair is the most compatible when casting magic, and he is the least susceptible to fluctuations and obstacles from other magic. Unicorn hair is used as Wands with a core are the least suitable for black magic. They are the most loyal of all wands, and they usually maintain a strong connection with their first owner, whether he or she is a skilled wizard or not. Although a unicorn The wands made of animal hair have a small disadvantage. They can’t be used to make very powerful wands, so I used a powerful apple wood as a compensation. In addition, if they are used improperly, they will have serious depression, which means Unicorn hair will'die' faster so that the core needs to be replaced."
As soon as Allen's finger touched the wand, Ollivander took it back, "No, don't touch it, it's not this one." Then he glanced at Allen with a strange look.
Alan was a little uncomfortable by this look, and thought to himself "Is this guy trying to imply that I will become a dark wizard?".
Ollivander asked Allen to try one after another. This time the wand core selection is obviously biased towards black magic or wands that can cast powerful spells, but Allen can use them smoothly and make trouble. There is no small movement, but it seems that there is no magic wand that can fit perfectly, or that Ollivander thinks it fits perfectly.
At first, Ollivander, who was a little excited about Allen’s performance, already had sweat on his forehead, "Mr. Harris, I really don’t know whether to say you are too picky or not to refuse, but at least as necessary. At that time, you can temporarily use someone else’s wand to make an emergency without worrying that the power of the spell will weaken or even fail to release the spell.
He thought and thought, and went back to the back hall to hold out a box wrapped in silky silk. .
Allen is very satisfied with his talent. In fact, he can't understand why some little wizards are proud of their ability to picky wands. If they have to rely on his own wand to perform magic well, then this is not a limitation. Become a kind of ostentatious capital?
"Try this magic wand, mahogany, and phoenix feathers." Ollivander carefully took out this wand that exudes a purplish red luster and is made of rhino horn.
Allen held the magic wand in his hand, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. The magic wand seemed to have become a part of his body. Allen's thoughts turned, UU reading www. The top of uukanshu.com's wand burst into flames, seeming to cheer for the encounter with Allen.
"Mahogany is suitable for deformation, strong and durable, and extremely protective. Phoenix feathers are the rarest kind of wand core. Phoenix feather wands can perform magic in the widest range, although they may be better than unicorn hair and dragons. It takes a long time for the heart tendon to embody this characteristic. It has the strongest initiative in all the cores, and sometimes even shows its own will. Although this characteristic is not liked by many wizards. When a phoenix feather When wands meet potential owners, they are always picky. That's because the phoenix, the producer of phoenix feathers, is the most independent and isolated creature in the world. Wands made of phoenix feathers are the most difficult and most difficult to domesticate. It is difficult to make it fit with their own personality, and their allegiance is usually difficult to win." Ollivander stared at Allen with pale eyes, very surprised.
While matching the wand maintenance equipment for Allen, Ollivander couldn't help turning his head to look at Allen: "It's amazing, you will definitely have a great achievement. The wood of this wand comes from German hemp in the early 20th century. The royal family of Melon, it has been here for almost a century since it found the right core and made it. You are the first to use this magic wand so handily."
After maintaining the necessary polite response, Allen secretly decided not to come to this store if it was unnecessary-I heard that Ollivander's children are dead, so enthusiasm for him shouldn't it be that I want to be him in the future The apprentice can be the heir.
paid Mr. Ollivander thirteen Jin Jialong to buy the magic wands, Mr. Ollivander bowed and sent them out of the shop.
"Reminder of the system: Do you want to make a unique and growable wand by yourself? As long as you complete a limited-time emergency task, you can have the alchemy manual of the ancient alchemist Jeber."
