The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 171 New Wand (3)

"This is a gift from fate, a gift that only belongs to you. Accept it with peace of mind!" Anthony stood up slowly, walked to her side, and whispered.

Hearing the sound, Hermione held the Sword in the Stone and stood there blankly, but his words kept ringing in her mind.

Destiny~

Gift~

After not seeing her respond for a long time, Anthony reached out and patted her forehead: "Hello! Are you there?"

"Don't be in a daze, instead of thinking so much, why not go eat!"

The already darkening sky showed that the passage of time is indeed relative.It always goes by faster when you're chatting.

"Huh? Okay!" As she said that, Hermione raised her eyes to look at him. A dazed look flashed across her eyes, but was soon replaced by crimson, and she quickly ran towards the bedroom on the second floor.

Anthony, who was standing there, looked at her retreating back with a smile on his face. Look, the broken sword was indeed useful.At least things seemed to be thawing between them and Hermione.

----

the next afternoon.

According to the agreed time, Percy took Ron and Anthony to Diagon Alley through the fireplace in the principal's office.

Speaking of which, this was Anthony's first time using a fireplace.

It feels very close to Shilok's Apparition, the 'pipe' of space is very thick.However, the discomfort was still strong, and the whistling in his ears was deafening. Anthony opened his eyes during the teleportation, but to his disappointment, the surroundings were not stars all over the sky, but green flames spinning rapidly.He seemed like an ancient wizard being sent to the fire.

It has to be said that this kind of burning experience is definitely not a good one.I don’t know why many wizards were addicted to burning in ancient times...

As the flames in front of them gradually dissipated, Anthony and the others appeared at the public fireplace in Diagon Port.

Percy was also busy buying things, gave them some instructions, and then left in a hurry after agreeing on a time.

Anthony and Ron also rushed to Ollivander's Wand Shop without stopping.

"welcome!"

The tinkling bell on the doorframe rang almost simultaneously with Mr. Ollivander's voice.Anthony and Ron walked in one after the other.

"We're going to buy a wand."

"Of course, what else could it be for if you walked in here?" Mr. Ollivander slowly walked out of the complicated cubicle.

"Mr. Windsor, Mr. Weasley." Mr. Ollivander called their names accurately. He knew almost everyone who bought a wand from him.

Maybe he really has a good memory.

But Anthony felt that most of the British wizards were just a handful of people.It would be strange if he couldn't remember this after buying a wand for decades!

"What, where is your wand?" Ollivander said this to Anthony.Although he knew all the Weasley family members, Ron obviously had not bought a wand from him.

"Accidentally, my wand was damaged." Anthony said vaguely.

"Can you let me take a look?" Ollivander asked: "This will help you find a new wand that suits you faster."

"Um - here you go!" Although Anthony brought his old wand, he originally did not intend to show it to others. However, the wand is the most precious thing in a wizard's life, and he does not want to change it again in the future. .

So after a moment's hesitation, he took out the badly damaged wand from his arms and handed it to Ollivander.

On the side, Ollivander used his unique silver-white eyes to watch Anthony, from when he took out the wand to when he handed it to himself.

Before he even took the wand, he could already see those terrible cracks.

When the wand actually came into his hand, Ollivander immediately looked at it carefully.

As someone who has been making wands all his life, he could tell at a glance that the core of this wand was dead.

If only the body of the wand is damaged, it can still be used reluctantly, such as Ron's old charm.Many Masters of Charms are able to control the incomplete wands with precision.

But if the pillow core is damaged, then what you hold in your hand is just wood. No matter how sophisticated the control is, there is no way to release the magic spell.

Anthony's wand is exactly that.

No - his was more serious.

Ollivander guessed that his master was still casting some kind of terrible magic spell even though the pillow core was damaged. The powerful magic power instantly destroyed the staff body, which was why it was full of cracks.

"Platanus, unicorn tail hair," he murmured.

It can destroy the tail hair of a unicorn. I can't imagine what kind of terrible curse this child has unleashed.

As a result, the look he looked at Anthony became dark and unclear.

"Ahem! Sir?" Seeing that, Ollivander looked at him more and more strangely.Anthony coughed a few times quickly, interrupting the heavy atmosphere.

"Oh! Sorry, I was a little distracted for a moment." As he said that, Ollivander placed Anthony's old wand on the cabinet, then turned and walked towards the rows of tall shelves behind the counter.

After a while, he frowned and took two or three dusty boxes from the shelf.

"Try this one, Mr. Windsor." As he spoke, he opened one of the boxes and handed a silver-white wand with a soft, silk-like body to Anthony: "Silver basswood paired with phoenix tail feathers, a pretty A neat combination. Thirteen inches.”

Then, before Anthony could ask questions, he started talking to himself again: "Silver basswood is suitable for properties such as prophets or legilimens. It is a very rare wood. I remember that among the freshmen at Hogwarts this year, There is a girl whose wand is made of silver basswood, but the core of her wand is made of dragon nerve."

"Um... then the body of this wand comes from the same silver linden tree as the other one?" Anthony joked as he took the wand.Then he waved it gently, and a small white flower appeared from the end of the stick.

"Of course it's impossible. How could you have such an idea?" Ollivander took the wand back and stared at Anthony warily like a mouse whose tail was stepped on.

Then he took out another one, "Try this one, hazel wood, phoenix tail feathers, twelve and a half inches. A symbol of nobility."

"Hazel is a special wood that reflects the emotional state of its owner. It also has the unique ability to detect underground water, emitting silvery, teardrop-shaped patterns as you walk past hidden springs and wells. A burst of smoke, perfect for adventurers."

Looking at the crimson red with black patterns that Ollivander handed over again, Anthony stepped on his feet and reached out to take it.

He did it on purpose!Anthony pouted.Really, you can’t even make a joke?

"It's...ok." Upon seeing this, Ollivander seemed a little hesitant as he looked at the hazel wood wand, which had a red spark exploding from the top of the wand.After a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the last box from the counter, then walked out, looked at Anthony, opened the box solemnly, and handed the wand to Anthony.

It's an auburn wand, and it's special.

After placing the hazel wand back on the counter, Anthony took this special wand from Mr. Ollivander.The moment he touched it, there was a chill on his fingertips, like running water brushing over his fingers. Then, a halo of light flew out of the top of the wand, accompanied by some kind of subtle tinkling sound, passing through the air. It shined on the ground.

"It's amazing, it's amazing."

Ollivander seemed to have something to hide. Although he was mumbling 'wonderful', his face was full of sadness.

"It chooses you, Mr. Windsor."

"But you don't seem happy?" Anthony asked doubtfully, holding the wand.

He was very pleased with this strange wand.It's easy to use and looks cool.

The body of the stick is light purple, and the tip of the stick is about three or four inches, but it is light red, and the color gets darker toward the tip of the stick.The two colors of purple and red are wrapped in a piece of metal, like a ring.

When he is holding it, the handle has a rhombus shape, and the boxy shape is in line with Anthony's aesthetic.

"That's a piece of mithril." Mr. Ollivander sighed.

"I found this wand made of a peculiar wood in the grasslands of Glastonbury, England."

"strange?"

"Yes, yew trees are not common, child. Even if you meet the right tree, it still needs to be old enough, at least 20 years before the yew tree can fully exert its magic power." Ollivander's deep voice then sounded: "Purple Fir wood, phoenix tail feathers, thirteen inches, hard and not easy to bend.”

"Uh?" Anthony was stunned, why did this wand configuration sound so familiar.

"Mr. Windsor." Suddenly, Mr. Ollivander paused and said in a very deep tone: "Few wizards can have completely different qualities at the same time. Two different wands represent your different futures. I I believe that you are destined to become an amazing wizard. But please don’t forget that a unicorn once chose you.”

"I understand sir." Anthony certainly understood Ollivander's advice.

Because he just remembered that Voldemort's wand seemed to have yew and phoenix tail feathers.

No wonder Ollivander is so nervous, he is afraid that he will become the next Voldemort!

-

Ron's wand, on the other hand, was much simpler to choose.

As a family with a long heritage, their family's wands have more or less something in common.

He only tried it once, and the second time he found the wand that suited him.

A fourteen inch, willow, unicorn hair charm.

Nine galleons.

After Ron paid the money generously, he immediately started playing with his new wand.

As for Anthony, he paid fourteen gold galleons.Price swings are staggering.From this we can see that the materials for my wand are indeed rare, right?Investing in the future is more expensive.

Then, he and Ronan walked out of the store.

And just as Anthony walked out of the store, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a strange idea popped up in his head: Hiss~ If different trees are grafted together, will it produce more powerful wand materials?If I study hard for a few years, I might be able to cultivate some kind of kaleidoscope wand.Every inch is made of different materials...
