That's right, it's the Weasleys.

Due to the large number of children in the Weasley family, the children in the back often had to use second-hand goods, so their textbooks were definitely kept the most complete, and Scamander happened to find someone to get two sets.

Bill Weasley and Charlie Weasley, in Scamander's mouth, although these two are not top academic gods, they can indeed be called academic masters.

As for other textbooks, they probably also need to buy textbooks related to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class... No way, the textbooks for this class follow the teacher. If the professor is not long-term, the textbooks will naturally be replaced frequently.

Oh, by the way, another set of elective textbooks that is frequently changed is the frequently revised version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but for this book, Harry and Hermione can get a boat with the original author's autograph in minutes. new version~

After finishing the textbooks, Harry didn't plan to buy the four-piece experimental set such as the cauldron, potion bottle, telescope, and balance that followed.

As a student majoring in special medicine, Harry really didn't like the precision and quality of these experimental instruments produced by the wizarding world.

Take the pewter crucible, for example. Scamander explained to Harry why first-year students, no matter how rich they are, must have enough money to buy this worst-performing crucible.

Because pewter crucibles are the slowest in brewing potions, and the first-year freshmen are limited by experience, equipment accuracy, etc., and their error tolerance is very low when configuring potions... So, the brewing speed is slow, at least when the experiment fails Run as far as you can before the explosion.

In addition, this thing is cheap, and it doesn't feel bad if it is fried~

Anyway, Scamander took the matter of the cauldron very seriously, and specifically mentioned it to Harry, who knew a lot of wizards who had killed themselves in potion experiments...

Nima~

In short, what Scamander means is that the weights and measures produced in the magic world may not be very accurate. If wizards want to accurately determine the weight and proportion of various potions, they have no choice but to be familiar with it. you…

But this is purely standing and talking without back pain!

What if something happened before I got familiar with it, and I and Hermione collapsed?

It was true that Hermione dropped out of school with him because he wanted to mess it up, but the reason for dropping out couldn't be because of disability!

Change!

Just play with the pewter crucible, and go back and make a universal graphite crucible, which is stable, strong and safe;

The same is true for binoculars. Who still uses old models when there are [-]x mirrors? It’s almost like an antique collection;

For the crystal medicine bottle, after confirming the specifications, let the Grangers directly contact the Precision Chemical Instrument Factory to customize it;

As for the last brass balance... c'mon, what age is this, is the sensitivity of a tray balance simply not good enough?

It is said that Hogwarts will shield electronic signals, and the ultra-precision electronic balance may not be used, so I will build a high-precision mechanical analysis balance for the head office~

In short, with a big wave of his hand, Harry gave Pass all the experimental four-piece suits on the shopping list.

And at this moment, he was even more certain that Scamander might really be a time traveler, after all, many of his thoughts stink with him... Bah!congenial~

In this way, Harry and Hermione wandered around complaining all the way, but in the end they didn't buy anything except Crookshanks, a big pie-faced orange version of the Persian cat that Hermione bought back.

In the end, Hermione could only return to the topic with a lack of interest, to buy things they couldn't buy in the real world, such as wands.

The two came to Ollivander, an old wand shop named after the family's surname. Judging from the slogan outside the shop, this shop has been 'making excellent wands' since 382 BC.

Tsk tsk, the Warring States Period of my Great Heavenly Dynasty is really old enough~

"Wow! There are so many wands here?!" Although Ollivander's wand shop looks dilapidated and simple on the outside, there are hidden things inside. As soon as she entered the door, Hermione grew up in shock from the sight in front of her. mouth.

The shelves that are almost as high as the ceiling are scattered throughout the room, and the shelves are full of rectangular boxes. If there are all magic wands in them, there may be thousands of them!

"Here..." However, looking at the somewhat dim surroundings, Harry unconsciously frowned.

This place is very similar to the previous Gringotts, and he can also hear voices, and it's not as monotonous as in Gringotts. The sounds here are intricate, but each one is extremely clear!

Gradually, Harry realized that the voices he heard seemed to be coming from these wands.

"Good afternoon... oh, it's you. I know, I just knew I'd see you soon, Harry Potter."

Just as Harry was concentrating on trying to identify these voices, an old man with gray hair appeared in front of him and Hermione.

This old gentleman is Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop. His voice is very soft, his body trembles slightly, and he seems very excited.

"Your eyes are just like your mother's... Lily, it seems like it happened yesterday when she came to me to buy her first wand..."

"Sir, please allow me to interrupt," Harry said loudly to stop Ollivander's reminiscence, "First of all, you just called me by the wrong name, my current name is Harry Granger. In addition , it's getting late, and we want to pick out a suitable wand as soon as possible."

This nagging Mr. Ollivander cares too much about 'Harry Potter', so Harry feels that it is necessary for him to remind him...

Sell ​​things well, don't think about it~

Chapter 24 Xueba is no joke

"Oh, yes, I'll prepare wands for the two of you."

After being reminded by Harry, Ollivander also realized that he still had serious business to do, so he hurriedly picked up the measuring tape at hand.

"Then ladies first, this..."

"Hermione Granger." Hermione introduced herself politely.

"Granger...then Miss Granger, please raise your arms."

Hearing the same surname as Harry's today, Ollivander was slightly taken aback, but soon regained his concentration and began to measure the size of Hermione's arm.

At the same time, he also began to keep thinking about popularizing science for the two of Hach, about a lot of knowledge about magic wands.

Harry didn't pay much attention to Ollivander's words, because all the preparations made by the other party were actually to emphasize the last sentence.

"Always remember this, the wand chooses the wizard!"

When he said this, Ollivander's expression was very serious, and he also seemed a little proud.

After that, he began to rummage among the densely packed shelves, and then pulled out one after another wand for Hermione to try.

"Beech wood, unicorn tail hair, seven inches long, you..."

"No no! Try this one, walnut with phoenix feathers, eight and a half inches long, springy..."

"Let's choose this one! No, this one is not very good either..."

Finally, when Ollivander once again took back a magic wand with a vine body, a dragon heartstring core, and a length of [-] inches, obvious hesitation appeared on his face.

"So... what the hell was I doing just now?"

I tried many wands in a row, but every time I got them, they were snatched away, so Hermione didn't understand what happened just now.

Moreover, she actually liked the last wand she had just tried, but Ollivander still felt it was inappropriate.

However, compared to the entangled Hermione, Ollivander's face has always been excited to the point of fanaticism.

"Miss Granger is a picky customer, but it doesn't matter, I'm sure you can definitely find the most perfect and ideal wand for you here!"

"Mr. Ollivander, with your permission, can you let me choose a wand for Hermione?" At this moment, Harry, who seemed to be enlightened, suddenly asked.

From the very beginning, he has been distinguishing the sounds from different wands, and now he finally feels that he has heard a little bit.

"You choose?" Ollivander's expression was noncommittal, "Mr. Potter, I think..."

"My name is Granger!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Granger, do you remember what I just said, it should be the wand that chooses the wizard!" When it came to the dispute over the concept of the wand, Ollivander's attitude became very firm, "This is Facts, that’s right, this should be an undisputed fact! So don’t be too impatient, I promise in the name of the ancestral wand maker of the Ollivander family, I will definitely help Miss Granger find the most suitable wand for her! "

Hmm... Ollivander's aura is amazing, but Harry also has to complain, the wand maker, referred to as the wand maker, is really a bit too hip~

"No, Mr. Ollivander, you misunderstood me." Harry shook his head, "I'm not questioning who chooses the wand or the wizard, I just think... relying on your careful deduction and Temptation, it is impossible to pick a suitable wand for Hermione!"

"Mr. Granger...you are questioning my professionalism as a wandmaker!" Hearing that Harry doubted his own ability, Ollivander's face was obviously sullen, "You know, our shop It's been around since 382 BC! My ancestors traded with the Romans to England and started selling fine wares for native wizards who could only use wands of inferior material...and it's been going on ever since! "

"So...Mr. Granger, please take back what you just said! Because my major is just like my family's history, far and sure!!"

"Harry..." Hermione tugged on Harry's sleeve worriedly. Ollivander was obviously annoyed by Harry's words, and she was really afraid that the two would have a conflict.

"Okay! Mr. Ollivander, if you have to say that, then I really have to give you a good stroke!"

But Harry gently held Hermione's hand, signaling her to be calm.

He really couldn't wait now, he wanted to help Hermione find the wand he was sure of, and at the same time verify his conjecture.

But the old man Ollivander has always been relentless, so don't blame him for being unforgiving!

When the man gets angry, his blood splatters five steps; !

Next, it's science time! !

"Mr. Ollivander, I don't know if you understand...the Celts, those native Englishmen you say use bad wands, who were there in 385 BC - three years after your shop opened Before, loot the entire city of Rome..."

"This..." The corners of Ollivander's mouth twitched a little. He instinctively felt that what Harry mentioned was very unfriendly, but he didn't know how to intervene because he had never understood this 'Muggle history'.

"In addition, since 500 BC, Rome, including many countries in the Mediterranean, has been at an absolute disadvantage when facing the Celts! This situation lasted until about 60 BC, when Caesar the Great After Kong was born, it was barely changed!"

"So... if your family's shop has been established in England since 382 BC, and it came to England with the Romans, then your so-called extremely remote and determined ancestors are probably not merchants. ..."

Harry didn't say anything later, Ollivander was an old man after all, he had to save some face for the other party.

After all, if his ancestors were not businessmen, then whether they were prisoners of war, slaves or refugees would not sound very pleasant to him~

Of course, Harry didn't know the real history of Ollivander's family, but this didn't prevent him from using it as an excuse to smack Ollivander's self-confidence.

Really, hurry up and let me get the magic wand, why are you stopping here~

"This...Mr. Granger, I don't understand..." The corners of Ollivander's mouth couldn't help trembling, and his body seemed a little stooped, but his eyes were fixed on Harry, obviously trying to suppress his anger!

"Why, are you telling me about the history of these Muggles? You know, this is quite disrespectful to my ancestors..."

"Mr. Ollivander, I don't mean to disrespect your ancestors!" Harry met Ollivander's gaze without fear, "I just want to tell you that misrepresented history will be overturned, and blindly The same goes for your self-confidence! Since your self-confidence and expertise cannot help Hermione choose the right wand, why can't you let me try it?!"

After finishing speaking, Harry ignored Ollivander who was standing still, but took Hermione to a certain shelf, and helped her choose a certain wand that he had long been optimistic about.

"Hermione, give it a try~"

"Okay... this, this is?" Hermione subconsciously took the wand handed over by Harry, but her fingertips felt inexplicably hot.

With a light wave, a red light flashed, and the tip of the wand burst out into a large group of beautiful fireworks.

All of a sudden, the room was full of fiery trees and silver flowers!

Chapter 25 Wands can be shared

"Is this... my wand?"

Looking carefully at the wand in her hand, Hermione couldn't be happier.

She thought the previous wand was good enough, but Harry actually helped her choose a more suitable one!

The wand was bouncing and bouncing in her palm, as if it was alive, cheering and jumping non-stop.

Seeing Hermione's happy look, Harry nodded equally satisfied.

He was right in guessing that the voices he heard earlier were the calls from the wand.

The call issued by each wand is different, and it seems to contain a very special meaning. At first, Harry didn't know what the meaning was, but as Hermione kept trying various wands, he gradually recognized it. Some clues.

When a wand was held by Hermione, the calling sound of the core changed.

Some became silent, some cheered, and what's more, such as the one in Hermione's hand, was directly shouting!

This call seemed to be the magic wand actively communicating with Hermione's magic power, and it was constantly trying to reach a certain resonance with Hermione.

Harry felt that this should be what Ollivander called the principle of how the wand chooses the wizard.

The dragon's heartstring wand before, in Harry's ears, already had quite a high resonance with Hermione's magic.

And the reason why it didn't choose Hermione in the end was not because it didn't like Hermione, but because it had another wand, which with a stronger call, interrupted the choice of Dragon Heartstring wand!

That's right, it's the one Hermione is holding now!

However, when the wand was held by Hermione, Ollivander was completely stunned!

"This... holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long, very flexible... This is indeed an extraordinary combination, but... it is simply impossible!"

He paced around the room in a panic, and suddenly stopped to look at Hermione's face carefully, wanting to know what was different about this girl from a Muggle family!

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see anything unique about Hermione.

"Wonderful... no, it should be said to be unbelievable!" Ollivander said palely, "Miss Granger, why are you recognized by such a wand?"

"Is there anything special about this wand?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"I remember every wand I ever sold, Miss Granger, every single one. I used two tail feathers from the same phoenix to make two wands before, one of which is now in your hand."

Ollivander glanced at Harry before saying, as if preparing himself, "And the other, the twin brother of your wand... it was on Mr Granger's forehead, leaving that scar."
