Chapter 32 It would be nice to accompany Mr. Ollivander
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Qiu Zhang couldn't help coughing, patted the dusty school robe, and got out of the fireplace in embarrassment.
[I really am not suitable for being a Floo fan...]
Qiu Zhang doesn't know how many times it will take him to accept this fact...
Wait...where's Cedric? !
Only then did Qiu Zhang realize that Cedric didn't seem to be around him. Could it be that he and he had such no tacit understanding that they ended up in two places...
"Miss Qiuzhang, why are you here!"
Mr. Ollivander's old and dull voice slowly approached from outside, and Qiu Zhang realized that he seemed to have been teleported to the fireplace of Ollivander's Wand Shop... How outrageous! I thought it would be spread to the candy store just like it was with Wood... Isn't this all unified?
"Mr. Ollivander, I promised you, isn't this here to report peace?"
"Miss Qiu Zhang, I told you before that I didn't mean it..."
Mr. Ollivander sighed, his expression unclear whether it was helplessness or sadness.
"Mr. Ollivander, that's not the point of my visit today. Don't worry, I came here specially to give you a Christmas gift! Ta-la-la!"
Qiu Zhang excitedly handed the lacy colorful gift box that was incompatible with the gray wand shop in his arms to Mr. Ollivander.
"I still have a gift? Hahaha..."
Mr. Ollivander seemed a little surprised and a little moved. With slightly trembling hands, he stepped forward to take the gift box from Qiu Zhang, and solemnly opened the gift box slowly. Inside was a blue knitted sweater with quite a bit of embroidery on the chest. The design is embroidered with Mr. Ollivander's name and a simple wand shape, which looks quite innovative.
Mr. Ollivander's wrinkled hands slowly slid over the embroidery area, and his turbid gray-black pupils were filled with tears. Mr. Ollivander wiped away the invisible tears and looked at Qiu Zhang with a full expression. It's touching and gratifying.
"Miss Qiu Zhang took the trouble, and I like it very much. In that case, it would be less of a gentleman if I didn't order a gift."
As Mr. Ollivander said that, he went into the back room without knowing what to look for. Qiu Zhang could only wait patiently outside.
"Qiuchang!"
Cedric pushed open the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop, and sure enough, Cho Chang was here. Qiu Zhang seemed a little surprised as well, staring blankly at Cedric.
"Digory, how did you know I was here?"
[I originally wanted to go find Cedric after delivering Mr. Ollivander’s Christmas gift...]
Cedric didn't answer, just shook his head in annoyance.
"We didn't teleport together..."
Seeing how disappointed Cedric was, Qiu Zhang couldn't help but step forward and pat his head, comforting him warmly.
"Digory, it's okay, maybe there's something wrong with Fred's Floo powder (sorry Fred). By the way, where were you teleported to?"
"The bookstore...because I remember that I was subconsciously thinking about our first meeting at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore..."
Cedric explained in a serious manner, and his innocent little expression looked very cute, which was a bit different from the usual gentleman's gentle look.
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but laugh, maybe because he was happy that Cedric kept thinking of him before teleporting, maybe because he was also thinking of him when he teleported, or maybe he was amused by Cedric's cute expression...
"Digory, actually I was thinking of you when I was reading Diagon Alley. Do you remember? I once told you that Mr. Ollivander once said that there was a little boy before me and I was both. An ash wand, I never imagined that I would have so much contact with this boy in the future and become such a good friend!"
Cedric naturally knew that Qiu Zhang was talking about him, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and snicker openly.
"Miss Qiu Zhang, it's not a small gift. Maybe you will be interested in this..."
Qiu Zhang turned around and was pleasantly surprised to find that Mr. Ollivander had put on the sweater he had knitted for him. Sure enough, this bright blue seemed to make people energetic.
"Mr. Ollivander, this sweater looks great on you."
Qiu Zhang was so boastful that he started to boast. He took a book that Ollivander gave him that looked simple and mysterious, and when he flipped through it, he found that there were many magic and spells that he had never seen in the book before.
"This is a book I met with an Eastern monk when I was traveling, and I wrote this book with him. Most of the books are filled with curses and curses that have never been open to the public. Some are safe and some should be kept in mind. use……"
"Oh my god, Mr. Ollivander, you are so awesome. I will definitely cherish this book!"
Qiu Kai couldn't help but hug this book full of unknown knowledge. She was so excited that her eyes drifted towards Cedric, wanting to share the joy with him.
Cedric was also very happy for Qiu Zhang, and he quietly made a thumbs up gesture with his fingers and nodded in admiration to Qiu Zhang.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Ollivander, I haven't introduced you yet..."
"Mr. Digory, right? I remember you, Qiu Zhang. I once said that you and another friend of Ashwood in this class must be very chatty. Let me tell you a secret. This class is just the two of you. It's an ash wand..."
Mr. Ollivander didn't even forget to give Cho Chang and Cedric a playful wink at the end.
However, among the four academies in a class, only Qiu Zhang and Cedric are the rare ones. Qiu Zhang couldn't help being shocked. His eyes subconsciously drifted towards Cedric. He saw that Cedric had been looking at Qiu Zhang for a long time. When Qiu Zhang turned his eyes, the two happened to look at each other. Look at each other and smile.
"Okay, the gift exchange is over. It's not interesting to be here as a little old man like me. You two must have a lot of things to do together on Christmas, so go and enjoy it!"
Mr. Ollivander waved his hand and asked Qiu Zhang to leave, but Qiu Zhang rarely saw a trace of reluctance on Ollivander's face.
That's right, Mr. Ollivander has been the only one in this wand shop for many years, and he doesn't have many friends to accompany him even during holidays...
Somehow, Qiu Zhang carefully tugged at the corner of Cedric's clothes. Cedric turned back and met Qiu Zhang's gaze. He immediately understood and gave Qiu Zhang a reassuring look.
"Mr. Ollivander, actually we are also very interested in wands. How about we help you organize your wands today? You can also tell us about the materials and knowledge of wands..."
Qiu Zhang took the initiative to turn around and withdraw, and proposed his plan to stay. Cedric also agreed and stood quietly beside Qiu Zhang.
Mr. Ollivander seemed a little moved, his eyes were shining, he didn't say anything, he just sighed.
"It's up to you, as long as you don't cause trouble for me..."
"Great!"
Cho Chang and Cedric looked at each other and saw happy expressions in each other's eyes, so they immediately stepped forward to talk to Mr. Ollivander, followed Mr. Ollivander's instructions, carefully arranged and wiped the wand...
