Ted and Hermione were waiting for their friends at the ice cream stall in Diagon Alley. Soon Harry, Navigation and the others arrived. Everyone was eating ice cream while waiting for Ron.
They agreed to go shopping for wands together today.
After waiting for half an hour, Ron came. Behind him were the twins and Ginny!
Ron shrugged and curled his lips: "I can't help it, brothers, they have to come shopping."
"Sit down quickly!" Ted asked everyone to sit down.
The twins crowded around Ted, and George whispered: "We have something to ask you!"
Fred: "You have to know this!"
Ted clicked his tongue, "I hope it's a good thing."
"Of course, it must be a good thing that we are looking for you~"
Ted: Our standards for good deeds may be different~
Ginny sat next to Harry and Hermione, glancing at Neville from time to time.
Neville: I sense danger? !
"Ugh~" Ron suddenly became ill.
"What's wrong with you?" Neville asked quickly.
Ron pointed at the ice cream he just took a big bite of: "This, this... is poisonous!"
It turned out to be a small event organized by Florin Fusco, the owner of the ice cream shop - "Who is the lucky guy~".
Among a hundred taro-flavored ice creams, there is one eggplant-flavored one.
It was obvious that Ron was the lucky guy.
The owner of the ice cream shop, Florin Fusco, is about forty years old. He is a nice and humorous person. Ron, the lucky guy, was also rewarded with three random flavors of ice cream.
Well, the new ice cream he developed based on the idea of Bibi Multi-flavor Beans hopes to bring more surprises to diners.
Ron: "Do you think we are still first-grade children? We are still interested in things like multi-flavor beans? This means that multi-flavor ice cream is not delicious at all!" Ron said while making noises Show off!
Ron: I'm eating, eating, eating, eating.Gif
Now that everyone is here, let’s get down to business and go to Ollivander’s shop to buy a wand.
A group of people rushed over in a mighty manner, quite attracting attention along the way.
After all, with the population of the magic world, it is not every day that you see so many young wizards shopping together.
Pushing open the door of Ollivander's store, the bell at the door jingled automatically.
Ollivander heard the sound and slowly walked around the shelves from the back room, then walked out silently as if he was a ghost. When I looked up, I was shocked - why are so many people here? Looking for after-sales service? !
However, even more nervous than him were Neville and Ron.
Although they were already in third grade when school started, it was their first time coming to Ollivander's and buying a wand for the first time, so they were quite nervous.
Ted took the initiative to say hello: "Hello Mr. Ollivander."
Ollivander glanced at the wand at his waist, "Oh, cedar phoenix feather wand, ten and three-quarter inches... Mr. Ted Epiphany! I heard you did it in school Quite a good thing. Is your wand okay?"
"It's me. The wand is great and easy to use." Ted suspected he had a register of every wand sold.
"Sir, it's the two of them who want to buy wands this time." Ted pointed at Neville and Ron.
"Oh, you don't look like freshmen?" Ollivander looked at them suspiciously.
Neville is now 1.74 meters tall and tall.
To be honest, if he hadn't been so kind, I would have been "worried about school bullying.JPG"!
Although Ron is not as tall as Neville, he shows off a lot and has developed early. He looks like a fourth or fifth grade student.
The two of them bought wands, which made Ollivander a little uncomfortable.
"They both used family wands before, but now they need to buy one of their own," Ted explained.
Ted's voice was convincing, and Ollivander believed it easily and nodded. "All right!".
However, he also has his own pride. He said softly: "Our wand is not just a purchase, it is a choice. The wand chooses its owner, it is fate... It only takes a few galleons to give you a chance to try it once."
Ted and his friends were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded: Master has a noble character!
Next it was time for Neville and Ron.
Ron was pushed in front by Neville. He was not as strong as Neville, so Ron could only accept his fate and be the first to go up.
"Try this..." Ollivander waved his wand and a large number of boxes flew over.
Ron got the first wand, and the wand immediately emitted a puff of smoke. His friends were also afraid of ropes after being bitten by snakes for ten years. Seeing this familiar scene, they immediately cast the Bubble Curse on their heads.
The result was just an ordinary puff of black smoke... This scene made Ollivander dumbfounded, wondering if these children had post-war stress traumatic disorder? Why such a big reaction?
After several selections, Ron got his wand.
Ollivander stroked the wand happily with a smile of fate: "The core of the wand is the heartstring of the black dragon of the Hesidian Islands. It is strong and tough and can adapt to various situations. The body of the wand is made of the Whomping Willow, which has special resistance to humanoid enemies. Power. Oh, by the way! You know the whomping willow at Hogwarts, right? That’s the one!”
Ron was stunned: "I know this very well!"
Ollivander said with regret: "It's a pity that the tree was injured by someone last year. I can't use its branches to make wands in the past two years. Do you know who did it?"
Ron looked calm: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it!"
The friends were holding back their laughter until they almost lost their breath.
Ginny was blushing and biting her sleeve, but she still had to pretend to be a lady. The twins had already escaped from the shop, and they could hear laughter through the door.
Ted remembered that Ron's second wand in the original book was supposed to be chestnut wood with a unicorn hair core.
Chestnut is the most intellectually curious wood. It has few characters and qualities, but will be attracted to those who are skilled magical beast tamers, wizards who are very talented in herbalism, or natural flyers. .
Unicorn hair is a very average wand core material, and it depends on the owner's choice.
But now, Ron is more focused on the power of the spell, and the core of the wand has become a dragon heartstring. As for the Whomping Willow, it can only be said to be fate.
In fact, Ron, the second wand in the original book, was not used until the end and was lost during the war in the seventh year.
His last wand turned out to be Peter Pettigrew's wand, with a dragon heartstring as its core.
Now to Neville.
Ollivander also obviously recognized the Boy-Who-Lived. But he just took a deep look, said nothing, and prepared a large number of boxes.
But compared to Ron, Neville's side was not going well.
A dozen wands in a row all didn't fit, and he could feel the awkwardness himself.
In this regard, Ollivander was very calm, as if he had already guessed that this scene would happen.
"Wait a moment," he said, "I'll be gone for a little while." Then he walked toward the door at the back.
After two or three minutes, he came back holding a lavender box with a more solemn expression.
"I knew that one day it would wait for its owner. This is fate!" He said in a confused manner.
Seeing his expression, the friends no longer dared to be naughty and looked at him slightly nervously: Master, what's the explanation for this?
Ollivander opened the box, took out a wand, held it in his hand and rubbed it carefully.
"Holly wood body, phoenix tail feathers, eleven inches long..." He handed the wand to Neville silently.
Neville took it with a strange expression, azure magic light flashed on the wand, and rays of light swirled around him.
"Wow~" Ron's mouth opened on one side, and he was sore.
I didn’t have such a big scene just now! Ollivander, what do you think of someone else's dish? !
While admiring the wonderful scene of the human-wand union, the wand-making master Ollivander explained earnestly: "I remember every wand I sold..."
Ted: For sale? Isn't it fate?
Ollivander continued: "The core of this wand comes from the same phoenix as the core of the other wand. The other wand is made of yew, the tree of immortality! They are brother wands. Its owner , leaving this scar on your forehead..."
Upon hearing this, Neville seriously touched the "S" scar on his forehead: "Then we are really destined..."
…
Neville was not very interested because of the mention of Voldemort.
And Hermione was taken shopping by Harry, taking Ginny with her.
The twins took the opportunity to pull Ted away, saying they had something to discuss with him, leaving Ron to accompany Neville.
Ron complained: "George and the others should be Ted's long-lost brothers. Their relationship is much closer than mine."
And Ted also wondered, why is it so mysterious? Just tell me what's going on!
As a result, what George and the others said shocked Ted!
George: "We have awakened the substitute messenger!"
Ted: "Huh?!"
