For a whole week, the boy in front of him tried all the wands in the store. Obviously, many wands fit him very well, but none of them could be used normally by Aini. This also made Ollivander puzzled. .
That was the first time since he could remember that Ollivander's Wand Shop had a customer leave empty-handed due to its own reasons.
In particular, the boy was very sensible and cleaned and maintained every wand he tried, which made the old man feel even more sorry.
This is a person who really likes magic wands, but he has not been able to get him a satisfactory partner.
He still remembered that after Aini left that day, he huddled in the corner of the shelf, like a defeated rooster.
In fact, most of the week is spent on maintaining the wand, even if it is just a simple cleaning and applying some wand oil.
However, after wiping the first wand, Ani discovered that there is also a small amount of wool to be harvested...
However, by some strange combination of circumstances, Mr. Ollivander's favorability level was reduced by half.
After seeing Aini, the old gentleman's expression became vivid.
"Little Aini, come on...well, it's a bit messy here, why don't you go sit in the back."
Since then, the boy would occasionally come over to ask for advice on alchemy, and Ollivander had a very good impression of him.
"Long time no see, Gaz." Ani greeted the old man cheerfully. Mr. Ollivander was a pure person who was very to his liking.
"No need to bother, today I'm mainly here to customize a wand for Hermione."
"Oh, another little wizard who doesn't care about his wand."
After hearing Ani's answer, Ollivander looked at Hermione with an unpleasant expression on his face.
Wands are treasures that wizards cannot part with, but occasionally some little wizards and wizards will break their wands due to carelessness or insufficient attention.
It stands to reason that the buyer and seller pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. After the wand is traded, it has nothing to do with the old man anymore.
However, Ollivander concentrated his whole life in this shop. When he was a few years old, he practiced carving magic patterns in the back hall. Before he could work alone, the old craftsman liked to use the collection in the shop to understand the ideas. With reason, take care of them by the way.
It can be said that every wand in the shop is a "person" familiar to him. It is either the handiwork of the ancestors of the Ollivander family or it was made by him.
For Ollivander, every time he receives a buyer, it is not like making a deal, but like marrying his daughter.
He devoted almost all his life to this ancestral craft, which made the old man only have the magic wand in his eyes, and all his thoughts were about the magic wand, and almost all his happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were related to the magic wand.
As for what others think, haha, you have your worldly feelings, and I have my magic wand feelings, so just don’t interfere with each other.
If you don't like it, okay, the door is open there and your feet are growing on yourself, please leave gracefully!
Those who don't treat wands kindly are not as kind as Ollivander.
No one wants to be stared at by a pair of silver-white eyes that barely show any human emotions, and Hermione is the same, and she is not wrong either.
"There is nothing wrong with the wand. It's just that as Hermione's magic power grows, the compatibility between the two becomes less and they can no longer cooperate."
Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Aini quickly took over the conversation and told the old store manager the cause and effect.
"Little girl, I'm sorry." After hearing this, Ollivander solemnly saluted and apologized to the girl. This is also what Aini likes about the old man. Right is right and wrong is wrong. He never cares about other people's opinions, nor does he care about other people's opinions. One's own face is embellished.
However, the girl was startled and quickly stepped forward to help the old man up.
"It's okay, I...I..."
Hermione hesitated twice, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say. She felt that the other party should indeed apologize to her, but when the old man really did so, she was a little overwhelmed.
"I was wrong in the first place. There is nothing wrong with admitting it." Ollivander still insisted on bowing, but the girl's little strength could not help him.
.
Aini just watched silently and said nothing.
Wrong will not become right because of status, power, identity, or age. Apology is not only an expression of apology to others, but also self-salvation.
But there are always many people who turn a blind eye to "don't do it" and "do it". Instead, they think that my evil is so small, why do you insist on killing me? Is it interesting to be so serious?
What to do if "evil is big"?
Then use the points mentioned before to reduce "big" into "small"!
Once the victim has objections, he will be called a "bad boy".
When people are used to it, the apology that the old man should make makes the little witch flattered.
After such an episode, the girl was no longer afraid of those big serious eyes, and handed the materials exchanged from Sylvie to the old man.
"This... this is a natural wand. The legend turns out to be true..."
Then the person who stammered was replaced by Ollivander, holding the small wooden stick that Sylvie had spawned in his hands, like a pilgrim.
"Can you tell me its origin?"
Ollivander looked at the girl expectantly. He knew that his question was a bit presumptuous, but the family's long-standing passion for making sticks made him uncomfortable.
"Sorry, Mr. Ollivander, this material was obtained from someone else, and I don't know its origin."
Hermione would not disclose her existence without Sylvie's permission.
Besides, the girl didn't lie. She really didn't know how the sapling grew.
"Is that so... I took the liberty."
The old man who has passed his forties can naturally see that the little witch is hiding something, but if he sees through it without revealing it, it is useless to mess around. It is better to ask Aini to help find out next time.
Ollivander didn't know that Hermione had just felt a hint of joy in keeping Ani's secret...
"This is a natural cypress staff, perfect, very perfect. This is an exclusive preparation for the brave. The favored master must be a determined fighter. They are not afraid of the darkness in their hearts and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the people they value. .”
The old man's passionate tone became deeper and deeper in the middle of speaking, and finally he sighed as if he was touched by the situation.
Just when Hermione opened her mouth to say something, she saw Ani gesture to her, and the store became quiet for a while.
Two or three minutes later, Ollivander seemed to suddenly wake up, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Sorry, it's always easy to miss things when you get older."
"Gaz, how long will it take to make it?"
Before Hermione could say anything, Ani asked immediately to avoid the topic being led into a sad direction.
"At least two months."
Ollivander opened the bag of the main material again. Inside was a long fiber, slightly thicker than hair. He had never seen the smell on it, but he felt inexplicably familiar.
"Then let's buy a wand as a backup."
After Aini finished speaking, Ollivander reluctantly put away the two materials, wishing he could close the shop now and dive into the studio.
Seeing the old man's obsessed look, the expression on Aini's face became more and more weird. If he guessed correctly, Ollivander might be busy for a while.
