time at hogwarts

8. Ssangyong Nerve



After leaving the bookstore, it was almost noon. Magos and Earl Will decided to buy the wand first and then go back. Magos came alone in the afternoon.

They walked to the last shop in Diagon Alley. The shop looked small and shabby. The gold sign on the door had peeled off, and it read: Ollivanders - Making fine wands since 380 BC.

In the same dusty window as in the original work, there was a solitary wand placed on a faded purple cushion.

Magos walked into the store with some anxiety. He didn't know if he could buy a wand now when he was not yet 11 years old. After all, Ollivander had a weird personality and might not sell it to you even if he had money.

"Excuse me, is anyone here?" McGoss walked into the store and called out cautiously, looking at the room filled with long boxes.Earl Will saw the bench next to him and sat down, looking around curiously.

"Hello." An old man came out from behind a mountain-like wand.

"Hello, I want to buy a wand." Magos looked at the old man in front of him, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

"A wizard of Muggle descent, well, let me take a good look. Your magic power is still very weak, you are not yet 11 years old." Although it sounded like he was asking, his tone was affirmative.

"Yes, I am nine years old and I discovered this place by accident. Can I buy a wand?"

"It's the wand that chooses its master's child. First, tell me which hand you prefer to use?"

"Right hand."

Ollivander took out a tape measure, which automatically measured Magos's right hand and head.After the measurement was completed, Ollivander put away the measuring tape.

"Okay, try this. A wand made of dragon nerves, phoenix feathers and pine wood. It is eight inches long and has high toughness. You must know that every Ollivander wand is unique."

Magos stupidly took the wand and looked at Ollivander confused. What should he do next, wave it down?

"Concentrate and imagine becoming one with the wand."

Although I don’t know how to do it, I guess I should focus on feeling the wand in my hand.

When his attention was fully focused, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his right hand holding the wand, but this feeling was too weak for him to confirm whether it was true or false. When he wanted to feel it again; the wand had already been taken by Ollie. Fander took it away.

"If this doesn't work, use this one. It's made of yew wood and snake nerve. It's nine and a half inches long and very elastic."

Magos felt it carefully this time. He did have an inexplicable feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was. The result was the same as before, he was taken away directly.

Magos then tried several more wands, including many wands made of the nerves or feathers of inexplicable magical animals, but Ollivander said every one of them was no good.

"Well, few guests are so picky. Let me see... well, try this one. I think this must be the most suitable wand for you." Ollivander took out a wand from under the cabinet on the side. A wooden box that looks like a footrest.

"This is my father's last work. Many people can't identify with him. It's amazing, isn't it? It's made of oak, and there are dragon nerves in it, but the nerves are two different dragons. It's surprising, isn't it? I was Yes, the two dragons were born from the same wand. Maybe it is difficult for people to control them for this reason. In fact, I am more curious why they are not made into two wands and have to be put together. There are also phoenix feathers inside, ten Two inches, very pliable. It's the only piece."

Ollivander carefully took out his wand and opened it gently while muttering to himself.

"Try it."

Magos took the wand and felt the connection between the wand and himself without concentrating. This was no longer the specious feeling before. This feeling was very strong and he waved it involuntarily.The tip of the wand emitted colorful light, which startled Magos and Earl Will.

Ollivander said loudly: "Oh, it's great. It's really unexpected. Your magic power is close to that of an 11-year-old wizard before you are 11 years old. You are an amazing little wizard. Tell me your name."

"My name is McGoss Will. Sir." McGoss replied blankly.

"Very good, Mr. Will, remember, it is the wand that chooses the wizard." Ollivander put Magos' wand in the box and handed it to him, looking into his eyes.

"Seven Galleons."

Magos handed Ollivander the seven galleons and walked out of the shop with Earl Will under his gaze.

"Father, let's go back." Magos walked out of the store and exhaled while looking at the sun high in the sky.

After leaving Diagon Alley, he greeted Tom who met him and left the Leaky Cauldron.

After getting home and having lunch, McGoss felt a little forced.

He couldn't wait to return to Diagon Alley again, but his father did not agree and instead called him to the study to have a word with him.

"Magos, I can understand the curiosity and impulse in your heart, but I hope you can control your desires. My power will have no effect there. All I can provide you is financial support." For help, I hope you understand what I mean."

After saying this, his father left. Magos was not a real child. He had a mature mind. After sitting in the study for a while, he began to reflect on the fact that he was not very mature in doing things. He suddenly changed from a loser to a The rich man suddenly made himself a lot more arrogant. Although he couldn't see anything before, the sudden discovery of the magical world made him want to buy the entire magical world with money. He could see the problem. His father must have noticed it before reminding himself. Yes, if I keep doing this, I am afraid that I will either be regarded as an idiot by those pure-blood wizards, or be targeted by those wizards with ulterior motives.Magos broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. Others didn't know it, but he knew that the wizarding world was going to be very unstable, and it was impossible to be alone, let alone if he used money to swagger through the market, he would definitely become the target of those people.

After thinking about it, Magos suddenly felt that he had really lost his mind before. He was so self-righteous when he knew a little bit about the future. The magic world spoke with fists. What if he did something to attract the attention of someone who was interested, he would die without knowing it.

He stood up and stretched out of the study.

"Dad, take me to the bar."

Earl Will frowned and felt a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, his son still didn't understand what he meant.He raised his head and was about to refuse. Before he could say the words of rebuke, he saw Magos's eyes. There was only curiosity and gratitude in his clear eyes, but there was no eagerness and greed seen before.

Earl Will paused and then smiled.

"Good, very good."

"Thank you, Father."

Earl Will shook his head and handed him a check.

"Go ahead and come back early in the evening. Ask Burton to take you to the bank to get some money first. I've already arranged for someone to go there, but the money for the books hasn't been paid yet."

Magos took the check and saw it was 50 pounds.

"Dad, you don't need so much. As long as you pay for the books, everything else will be enough."

"What's enough is enough? Our Will family is not a stingy family. Since we need money, there is no need to save it. We still have the money. And I want you not to be too arrogant but not to give in blindly. If there is someone If you dare to attack you, my Will family is not easy to offend, but I don’t know whether it will be stronger with witchcraft or weapons."

Magos looked at his imposing father in the same way.Generate a strong sense of confidence.

"Don't worry, father, the person who can do something to me hasn't been born yet."

"Hahaha, okay, he is my Duke Will's son after all. Go ahead."

Soon Magos withdrew the money and went to the Leaky Cauldron. This time he went straight to Diagon Alley without stopping.

After going straight to Gringotts and redeeming the gold Galleons, Magos went to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop and got 4 robes. Then he went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to pick up some books and paid the remaining 5400 Galleons directly, plus an extra 3 Gallon asked him to deliver the book to the castle.

Magos, who was debt-free and wealthy and had a lot of money, walked out of the bookstore with "Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Theory", "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Types" and "Magic Potions and Potions".First, I went to the Eela Owl Store, a gloomy store opposite, and bought a snowy owl. Then I sat down at the Florin Cold Drink Shop with a cage, ordered some cold drinks and desserts, and read a book.

Time flies so fast while reading, and 2 hours have passed since I read the first of several books in Magos.After getting up, paying the bill and putting away the books, I walked to a store that sold magic materials and bought a dozen of each of several herbs for making magic potions. I also bought necessities such as crucibles and then returned to the bar.

The bar was a little deserted in the afternoon. The bar that was usually almost full had only 2 tables of people today. Magos didn't want to go back so early so he walked to the bar to chat with Tom.I learned from Tom that the admission day for Hogwarts will be in one month, but this has nothing to do with Magos. He still has to wait two more years to go, but he doesn't want to go to that noble elementary school anymore. , but this may be a bit suspenseful. His aristocratic etiquette is basically failing, and his father may not let him drop out of school so easily.He wanted to see if there was any wizard who was willing to make some extra money and be a private tutor for him. The requirements were not high anyway, he only needed to know the most basic basics. However, he learned from Tom that those people were either half-empty or half-empty. Either they look down on Muggle-born wizards, and wizards who graduate from Hogwarts are not worried about work issues and can only give up.Then I chatted with him for a while about the latest Daily Prophet before going back.

'Maybe you can ask about Harry Potter next time you come over. I don't know if he is as miserable as in the movies and novels.I can barely remember the plot in the novel, I only remember some of the plot in the movie.There are seven Horcruxes of Voldemort. Let me think about it. There seems to be a diary, a snake, a pendant, a ring, Harry Potter, and what else?Forget it, think about it slowly, there is no rush now. Magos shook his head and walked out of the bar.
