Chapter 4: Working is a must

The first thing you do with money is to buy a magic wand.

Ollivander's wand shop has an old and narrow front and a wand is placed on the faded purple cushion in the window.

The door is a stripped golden sign with the words: Ollivand, who has been well-made wand since 382 BC.

If the words on the sign were true, then Plato was still alive when their family started making sticks!

At that time, when countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were still hammering each other, their family had already started to make magic wands?

Professor McGonagall pushed the door and went in. The copper bell bell next to the door was twitched, making a crisp sound.

The store has little space. Apart from the counter and a bench, the rest are thousands of shelves of narrow paper boxes with magic wands piled up to the ceiling.

The store was seriously damaged, which was a bit unacceptable for a wizard who could clean up a new one.

Ted looked to the left, an old man whose hairstyle was not much better than Einstein, silently turned out from behind the shelves.

"Oh, Professor McGonagall, long time no see. Then, this is the little wizard who is about to enter school."

This is Ollivand, the master of staff in Great Britain.

"Extend your hand~" As Ollivander said, a ruler flew up on the counter and automatically began to measure Ted's height and wingspan.

"Which is your habitual hand?"

"Right hand."

"Try this one!" He waved his hand and a box flew over.

"Twelve and one quarter of an inch, the body of the stick is mahogany, and the core of the stick is male unicorn tail hair. Suitable for deformation..."

"Oh no!" Ted just touched the wand, but was stolen before he could swing it.

"Then how about this one? Cherry wood, Phoenix tail feather..."

Ted waved his wand with a wand, "Bang~Bang!" There were two loud noises, and the wand almost flew out.

"No, no, no, this won't work." Ollivand shook his head.

Ted: It's true that I don't need a magic wand, not a second kick.

"What about this one? Walnut, Dragon Heart String?"

This time the wand let out a sharp roar and flew out directly.

This time I changed the Heavenly Monkey?!

I tried seven or eight of them in a row. Some of them reacted too strongly, and some performed well, but I could still feel that the magic was slightly blocked and not very smooth.

Ted was very sensitive to magic power and could sense the subtle mismatch between the wand and himself.

Although it was very troublesome, Ollivand was enjoying it, just like playing Tetris, waiting for the suitable vertical bar to appear. Professor McGonagall also seemed very patient on the bench on the side.

Olivande: "Ha, picky little guest, I like it! Let's take your time~"

Ted thinks his hobbies are a bit pathological~

In Ollivand, the wand only has three cores: phoenix feather, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstring.

However, wands produced by other wand manufacturers may have other wand cores, such as the wand core of Hibiscus's wand core is Feva's hair (her grandmother's hair).

The original work mentioned another German scepter master Grigovic, but later it seemed that the ending was going well and I didn't remember it.

Just as another box flew over, Ted felt something different.

He hadn't seen the wand yet, but a faint attraction had already come out of the box.

Olivande gently stroked the wand and began to introduce: "Cedar wood, with phoenix feathers as the core of the pole, is ten and three-quarters of an inch in length, and has simple horizontal ribs on the handle of the pole, which is not slippery. The texture is firm and brittle..."

Ted got the wand and felt that the magic power was very smooth and even became stronger and more active.

With a light wave, a large number of ribbons and fireworks flew out from the front of the wand, almost filling the shop.

This time it was a big flower, and it feels good!

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, it seems you match it well!" Ollivander's expression was very happy.

“The cedar wand holders I met are generally tough and have extraordinary loyalty.”

"My father, Gerves Ollivand, used to say that the owner of the cedar wand will never be deceived. I feel deeply that this is something that the cedar wand is always matched with the extremely insightful owner."

"I will also add a piece of advice to my father's words, not to be enemies of any cedar wand master, especially not to hurt those they value."

“People who are perfectly paired with cedar wands are extremely terrible potential opponents, and those who declare war on them without their brains are often shocked by this.”

"Sincere 7 Garon!" Ollivand stretched out his hand.

The story is good, but unfortunately there was no discount in the end ~

No, maybe the story is just for a good price!

Ted walked out with his own cedar wand, and his thoughts were surging:

The protagonist's wand is your father's last work, or it is the wand made by your great-grandfather with thunder-striking peach wood and the legs of black and white iron-eating beasts when he was traveling in the mysterious East. Is it so ordinary for me?!

Have you left nothing for hundreds of years and never found your master's mysterious wand?

It's boring, nothing meaningful!

Although I complained in my heart, the properties of the magic wand are indeed good.

【Cedar Wood Phoenix Feather Wand (Green)】

Magic Amplitude: +lv1 Magic

Strengthening spell: +lv1 spell

Sharp Insight: +1 Perception

Note: The first magic wand of young people ~

Professor McGonagall was also very satisfied with the result, "Okay, I have to take you to customize the school uniform next."

"Uh~" Ted stood firm, "Professor, I just saw second-hand clothing stores and second-hand stores. I think with my financial situation, second-hand goods are a good choice."

McGonagall looked at him, sure he didn't force himself, and said, "Okay."

In fact, it is really unrealistic to buy all new ones with Ted student loans.

Originally, McGonagall wanted to buy two new robes and second-hand textbooks. After all, children still have requirements for face.

But since Ted proposed it, it's all right.

The two of them went to the second-hand robe store first, and next to the customized school uniforms of Mrs. Mojin's robe store, they bought some slightly larger old robes so that they could wear them in another year.

Then go to the second-hand store to see what is useful. If you didn’t find the right one, it was too broken.

If Ted used this kind of stuff to boil the potion, he might be able to blow Snape to death.

I made a set of glass bottles. Although they were a bit dirty, they would not delay the use after careful washing.

It’s a bit difficult to get used to make second-hand books. I don’t know if the economy is in a downturn this year. There are too many people buying second-hand books. Ted found three books, "Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Potions and Potions" and "Thousands of Magic Herbs and Mushrooms".

"Okay, Ted. I have my original textbooks there, which I can give to you. Let's go to the bookstore to buy new ones."

Professor McGonagall was generous and wanted to give his textbook to this thrifty and family-mannered freshman.

"Thank you so much. However, I want to wait a little longer. There are nearly two months left before school starts. Maybe I can buy a few more second-hand books and save some Gallon..."

Textbooks are so expensive!

If you buy all new ones, Ted's student loan will almost cost you a complete amount.

Although Hogwarts does not charge tuition fees for food and accommodation, it is really insecure to not leave any Xike for himself!

McGonagall remembered his observation of Ted after he became a cat: This little guy is very independent, shouldn't it be a problem?

After discussing it, Professor McGonagall finally agreed with Ted's approach and handed him over the remaining student loans, so that he could have time to come to Taobao by himself.

Professor McGonagall took Ted on the bus and left.

Ted returned to the orphanage with the second-hand goods he bought.

He thought about it in the car and finally made a decision - he had to make money himself.

Or increase your efforts to sing ~

Either work in Diagon Alley and make money directly. There is no need to redeem it, and there is no middleman to make a difference.

I had 20 Gallons for my first year of student loans, and from then on, I only had 5 Gallons per year.

This year, when shopping in Diagon Alley, you need 7 Gallons for the wand alone, which is not a second-hand one.

If you buy a brand new textbook, you need 12 gallons...

There are also some fragments of crucibles and glass bottles. Can't I take the potion class?

There are also dragon leather gloves, can’t I take herbal classes?
