NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: wand
Hermione asked," so you're a muggleborn like me?", Andrew shook his head and said," can't say for sure. Headmaster took me to gringotts bank and they said I'm the heir of peverall house. But I lived in orphanage until now. So I don't know about me being a muggleborn or not. It doesn't matter anyway ".
Hermione said sorry and then started talking about hogwarts and how magic is exciting. Andrew had a headache again. It took few minutes for him to calm her down and told her about interacting with other people. But she didn't take it good at first until he offered her to show her.
He talked nicely with the clerk there and asked for help in finding some books. He sweet talked the woman telling her how beautiful she is while getting help and also praised along with good will. Hermione looked dumbfounded when the clerk offered even some more discount for him than usual.
In the end she even blew a kiss to Andrew making Hermione dazed when they're getting out of shop. Andrew then said," see. You need to appease people with some talk. Social skills are needed. Especially with girls around ".
Hermione is dissatisfied and asked," so you're saying I'm rude and annoying ", Andrew shook his head with a smile and said," no, you're just innocent to the ways of others. You're trying to make friends with your own path not considering their interest and mood. That's all, you're not annoying or rude. You're just innocent about how to interact with people ".
He held back the words naive because if he says that this girl will jump at him like an angry cat. Hermione still pouted at him for calling her innocent and treating her like a child. But she isn't as annoyed as when she chatted with others. She felt Andrew is better than others.
Andrew also saw Dumbledore and asked," headmaster you can't just abandon a student. Especially for just buying candy ", Andrew complained. Dumbledore smiled and said," I only left so you two little ones can become friends. It's important to have friends in life child ".
Dumbledore then said," okay what's left on the list? ", Andrew said," a pet and a wand. But I'm thinking I'll give up on pet for now ", Dumbledore nodded and they goes to the ollivanders store. Dumbledore pushed the door open and said," Garrick, I brought a freshman for wand. Please do it quickly. I need to go to the ministry ".
Andrew looked at the old man who is a little bit upset. The old man took a tape and asked," what's your name boy? ", Andrew looked at him and spoke," I'm Andrew Peverall sir ", ollivander froze for a second before looking at Dumbledore and then at Dumbledore's wand.
Ollivander then measured with the tape and said," every ollivander wand is unique. We use many types of wandwood and three cores, unicorn hair, dragon heart string and phoenix feather. Just like how two of these magical creatures are different, the wands made from them are also different".
Ollivander gazed at Dumbledore once again and turned to Andrew before saying," there was once a legend in your family about the most powerful wand. But it went missing many decades ago. Isn't that right Dumbledore?".
Dumbledore nodded and waved his hand. He still maintained the smile and said," you're right Garrick. But that wand is not lost anymore ", he smirked and stroked the wand while ollivander goes to the back of the shop and brought many wands.
One by one they're all piled up in front of Andrew whose magic is very sensitive. In the end ollivander turned to the shelf in his back and searched before bending down and taking out few exquistic boxes. He looked at Andrew and said," these are found in tombs of ruins. They're from pharaoahs and medieval era. Few from tombs in pyramids of Egypt and some other civilizations including greece and mayan ".
He opened the boxes which have wands wrapped in enchanted clothes. He unsealed them one by one and said," these are the best wands we got. Discovered by my grandfather and father in their journey outside ".
He handed then one by one until suddenly a wand responded to him. It gave off a patronus immediately from his wand making Dumbledore surprised. A Griffin floated in air and chirped like an eagle. Andrew looked at his wand with a smile.
Ollivander then said," 11 inches, oak wood, unknown core ", Andrew looked at his wand with a satisfied look.
