The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 82: Love in a larch wand

   On Diagon Alley, Link was walking through the crowd.

   Today is the second day of the Hogwarts holiday, so there are a lot of people on Diagon Alley, and most of them are wizards who bring their children to shop for dinner.

   The businesses in Diagon Alley are obviously also prepared.

   Just like the bouncing and frolicking magic joke shop that Link just passed by, a magic banner was displayed at the door, and a sentence was formed with flashing letters on it.

  ‘Are you still worried about not having fun? Are you still annoyed by being bullied by classmates and friends? Come in, the joke shop will meet all your needs, and the whole site is 20% off today! ’

Propaganda slogans like    are undoubtedly low-level, but at the same time they are also very useful. This can be seen from the crowded scene in the joke shop.

   There are also shops like Florin Cold Drink Shop, Quidditch Boutique, Wonder Zoo, and Mrs. Primpiner’s Beauty & Potions Shop. They have also won a lot of customers.

   This makes Link a little bit emotional.

  Whether it is in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, women and children are the best to make money.

   But not all the shops on Diagon Alley are doing very well today.

   Let’s take the shop that Link is in front of now. Compared with the bustling scenes at the entrance of other shops, the front of this shop can be described as a door.

   But Link did not leave the shop in a hurry like everyone else, but looked carefully.

   The shop looks small and broken. The golden sign on the door has been peeled off, and it says: "Ollivander: Well-made wands since 382 BC".

   And in the shop window, a magic wand lay alone on the faded purple cushion. The space in the store is not large, except for a bench in the corner, nothing else. Thousands of long and narrow paper boxes with magic wands were piled from floor to ceiling, and a thin layer of dust fell everywhere.

  The most important thing is that there is no one sitting on the stage.

   But there is no doubt that this is the famous Ollivander Wand Shop in the original book, and it is also the destination of Link's trip.

  Link came here, naturally, not for sightseeing, but to change the magic wand.

   The magic wand in his hand is still inherited from the original owner.

  Although it can be used, Link can always feel a sense of jerky in daily use. In summary, it is not easy to handle.

   And this feeling seemed to get worse when he defeated Quirrell and Voldemort.

   Obviously, Link needs to change a wand again, and the wand now doesn't match him more and more.

   Taking a deep breath, Link opened the door and walked in.

"Jingle Bell!"

   The golden bell above the door rang as Link opened the door, and with the ringing sound, there was a series of heavy objects falling and knocking over from behind the counter.

   Then, an old man with messy gray hair got up from behind the counter very embarrassed.

   He seemed to have just woke up, only to see him staring at Link for a long time before saying:

   "Welcome, guest. Oh! What do you need for a little wizard who has ever lived?"

   Link raised his eyebrows and said:

   "A new magic wand."

"New wand? Sorry, don't I think you already have one?" Ollivander pointed to the shank of the wand that was faintly exposed from the cuff of Link's right hand. Ollivander remembers every wand he sold. If you've ever been there, I will definitely be impressed."

"is it?"

   Ollivander's answer surprised Link.

   He originally thought that his wand should have been bought from Ollivander like everyone else. After all, Ollivander is the most famous wand maker in the country, but the facts seem to be not what he imagined.

   "Can I see it?"

   Ollivander pointed to Link's wand and said, but when he heard that Link did not refuse, he directly untied the wand and handed it over.

   Ollivander, who took the wand carefully, looked a little weird. He gently touched Link's wand like a lover, and leaned in to smell it from time to time.

   Link felt that if it weren't for the presence of his original owner, Ollivander might still want to go up and lick it.

   As the inspection progressed, the expression on Ollivander's face gradually stretched.

"Larch wood, dragon nerves, ten and one-quarter inches long. Oh! What an amazing technique, I promise, it is definitely the work of my grandfather. No one but him can make such a powerful wand." Ollivander smiled and said, "At the same time, I also remembered that Mrs. Foley used to buy a larch wand from a collector for a few years ago. It is said to be used by her son. . If I'm not wrong, you should be the child of the Foley family?"

   Link's eyes lit up slightly. In fact, he had faintly guessed since Ollivander said that this wand was not for sale.

   And now it seems that he thinks well.

   The wand he used was indeed obtained specially by Mrs. Foley, and according to Ollivander's words, it seemed to be a very powerful wand.

   But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to fit Link himself.

  At this time, Ollivander seemed to be a little bit emotional~lightnovelpub.net~ He said to Link earnestly:

"Your mother must love you very much. The larch wands can slowly inject courage and confidence into their masters. This reputation and the high difficulty of production make this wand always in short supply. And the reason why Mrs. Foley chose it As your magic wand, it must also want to make you more brave and confident."

"is it?"

   Link said softly, the expression on his face was also a little complicated.

  Mrs. Foley felt exactly the love of the original owner, but unfortunately, even with such a mother who loved him, the original owner was replaced by Link after all.

   This is really a tragedy.

   At this time, Ollivander seemed to be freed from his feelings. He turned his words and asked:

   "Then boy, why do you want to change your wand?"

   "Because I don't think it suits me, it's hard for me to feel this way..."

   Link explained the truth, but Ollivander interrupted him just halfway through the conversation.

"Oh! No need to explain, I understand, I understand everything. In fact, the relationship between the wand and the wizard is not as simple as it seems. Not only the wizard will choose the wand, but the wand itself will also choose the owner that suits him. If the wand does not identify with you, it will be difficult for you to exert its full power."

"Unfortunately, although the wizards and wizards selected by the larch wands are indeed inspired by the important talents hidden in them, the difficulty of mastering the larch wands is much greater than many people think. Especially you The dragon’s nerves are also added to this wand, which does make it stronger, but it also greatly increases the difficulty of mastering it.”
