Hogwarts from another world

"Gregovich" Matthew was stunned, and read the name with some disbelief: "Ms. Crevat, you seemed to have said before that we were going to Mr. Ollivander's wand shop."

"Gregovich is a chain brand of wands in the wizarding world." Penelope Clivet introduced patiently: "And Mr. Ollivander is the owner of this shop. Come on in. To be honest, I don't understand. Why do you always care about these strange places?"

The shop is very small, with nothing but a bench. Penello sat on the bench and motioned to Matthew to go upstairs alone.

Matthew had no choice but to walk inside. At the same time, he heard some jingling bells coming from somewhere behind the store. The surrounding area was empty, giving people a very empty feeling.

"Good morning" said a soft voice.

Matthew was almost startled because a person suddenly appeared next to him.

A short old man, his big, light-colored eyes looked a little dull.

His hair was messy, and his whole face looked decadent.

It can be felt that this old man is definitely not satisfied with his current life.

"Hello, are you Mr. Ollivander?" Matthew asked.

"Of course." Mr. Ollivander came up to Matthew and took a close look at him, which made Matthew feel a little nervous: "The first year student at Hogwarts."

"yes, I"

"what's the name"

"Wakefield."

"Mr. Wakefield, you would like to buy a wand, right?"

"That's right." Matthew nodded.

"Follow me," he couldn't help but say, Mr. Ollivander took the lead and walked up the stairs.

Like downstairs, the shop upstairs was still empty.

Except on the ceiling, thirty or fifty neatly arranged cardboard boxes could be vaguely seen.

"Mr. Wakefield." Ollivander took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket: "Which arm do you use to use the wand?"

"Oh, I'm left-handed." Matthew said.

Matthew Wakefield is left-handed, which he knew on the first day he traveled through time; of course, due to the existence of past life consciousness, his right hand is not incapable of use. However, at this critical moment when choosing a wand, it is better to respect your body's habits.

"Put your arms up, that's good." Ollivander began to measure Matthew, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knees to armpits, and finally the head circumference. When he measured the distance between his nostrils, Matthew discovered that the tape measure was operating automatically.

After the measurement was completed, the tape measure fell to the ground and rolled up into a ball. Ollivander also returned to his workbench, seeming to record a series of data while mumbling something at the same time.

"Okay" he said.

At the same time, all the thirty or fifty neatly arranged cardboard boxes on the ceiling flew in front of Matthew.

"Let's try this first." Ollivander opened the first carton.

But to Matthew's surprise, what was placed in the carton was not a wand, but a pile of small wooden blocks.

"These are holly wood, a very rare wand wood." Ollivander introduced softly: "Wands made of holly wood are the best for using protective magic. They are suitable for wizards who like dangerous and noble tasks. Even it It also has the ability to help its owner overcome impulse and anger.”

"What should I do?" Matthew asked softly.

"Just stick your hand in, your dominant hand."

Following Ollivander's instructions, Matthew put his left hand into the cardboard box

"Okay, that's enough." Ollivander quickly ordered Matthew to take back his hand and threw the carton aside: "There is no doubt that this kind of wood is not suitable for you, Mr. Wakefield."

"Try this again, alder." Ollivander took out another carton: "It's a fairly hard wood. I like to choose wizards who are helpful, considerate, and very lovable. It's made of Wands are best suited for silent spells, hence their reputation as being suitable for advanced wizards.”

Matthew had just put his hand into the carton when he was rejected by Mr. Ollivander again.

"The compatibility is average, or try this walnut. This beautiful wood has extraordinary flexibility and can cast any type of magic that the owner can cast. Of course, it is also difficult to control; for those with wisdom and For creative wizards, this wood will most likely be a good match."

Another cardboard box appeared in front of Matthew, but this time when he put his hand in

"Ouch" Matthew exclaimed and quickly retracted his hand.

"What's wrong?" Ollivander asked very interested.

"It was very hot, like touching red-hot charcoal." Matthew described what he had just felt.

Mr. Ollivander's previously excited expression suddenly fell away.

"That's not right, wait a minute." Ollivander suddenly slapped his forehead, and then quickly searched among the piles of cartons: "This might be OK."

This time it took him more than ten seconds to find a cardboard box and open it

Matthew once again put his left hand into the cardboard box

But this time, a very comfortable feeling came from the palm of my hand, as if this kind of wood was naturally suitable for me. At the same time, a faint red light also emanated from the carton, looming.

"Great, great." A smile appeared on Ollivander's face for the first time: "This is black walnut. It is not as common as ordinary walnut wands. The owner you are looking for must have keen intuition and strength. Insight. Of all wands, the black walnut wand is arguably the most loyal to its owner.”

"There is no doubt that black walnut is the best choice for you, Mr. Wakefield."

The thirty or fifty cardboard boxes returned to the ceiling in neat rows.

And Mr. Ollivander came to his workbench again and recorded something.

"Do you have any requirements for the wand core?" When he put down the quill in his hand, he asked again: "Unicorn tail hair, fire dragon's heart nerve or phoenix feathers, these are the three commonly used wand cores that I use; Of course, if you have additional requirements, such as Veela hair, Thestral tail hair, or Neko's beard, I will have to find help from other staff makers."

"What's the difference between these?" Matthew asked in confusion.

"Unicorn tail hair can usually cast the most stable spells; wands made from dragon nerves are the most powerful and the most accident-prone of the three wand cores; and phoenix feathers can cast the widest variety of spells. Magic is also the one with the strongest sense of autonomy. Many wizards don't like this." Ollivander briefly introduced the three types of wand cores he commonly used: "Of course these are normal situations, and the type of wood will also make up for it. Their properties.”

"Unicorn tail hair." Matthew made a decision after thinking for a moment.

After all, he thinks stability is the most important thing for a tool like a magic wand that is used day and night.

Mr. Ollivander returned to the workbench for the last time: "Very good, a very good combination. Black walnut, unicorn tail hair, eleven and a half inches long Mr. Wakefield, I will try to get it ready on September 1st." Finish making the wand before then and send it to Hogwarts."

"Is that so?" Matthew couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard that he could only get his wand after going to Hogwarts: "I thought I could get my wand now."

"If it was fifty years ago, you could indeed get it." The old man seemed to have touched something sad, and his mood suddenly dropped.

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Because before that, I always thought that wizards should be selected by wands. But Grigovitch bought my wand shop, and I had to sell wands according to his theory, so that wizards Choose the Wand from the Lord”

"So Mr. Ollivander, in what year did Mr. Grigovitch acquire your wand shop?" Matthew asked softly.

"That was all in 1945." Garrick Ollivander said sadly.
