ALL NOVEL Chapter 6 The Wand of Destiny
Under the dim light, the quiet sound of a pin dropping in the magic wand shop could be clearly heard. Qiu Zhang carefully closed the door and walked towards the shop.
"Welcome!"
Qiu Zhang was frightened by the sudden sound. He looked up and saw two glowing eyes looking at him in the dark environment.
"You, hello!"
The man in the dark environment quickly reached Qiu Zhang on the high ladder. The first thing that caught his eye was an old grandfather with gray hair but sharp eyes.
"Oh! I remember you, your mother once visited my shop.
"Oh! That's our honor! Mr. Ollivander!" Qiu Zhang pulled her skirt ladylikely and politely bowed to Mr. Ollivander to thank her.
"Haha! It's nothing! Then let me see, Miss Zhang, which one will your wand be?"
Mr. Ollivander came closer and first observed Cho Chang carefully, then asked Cho Chang to pretend to demonstrate how to wave a wand. Then, as if he had confirmed something, he turned around and went back into the darkness filled with wands.
"Oh! Look what I found?" Mr. Ollivander held two or three boxes and placed them in front of the table, gesturing for Qiu Zhang to come forward and try them.
"Try this first, beech wood and dragon heartstrings, what a wonderful combination."
Qiu Zhang slowly stepped forward to take the wand, held it and waved it lightly. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere in the wand shop, making the store a mess.
Qiu Zhang looked apologetic and immediately returned the wand to Mr. Ollivander. Seeing that Qiu Zhang looked extremely nervous, Mr. Ollivander smiled casually.
"It's okay, look!" Ollivander waved his wand and the damage in the shop was completely new.
"Perhaps, let's try this one again? Brand new ash wood, dragon heart string, 12 inches. You must know that ash wood has always been held by people with strong will and unwavering beliefs. Today, it was only bought by a boy. An ash wand."
Qiu Zhang took it slowly, feeling nothing in his hand. He waved it, and there was another crisp snap, and the flowerpot fell apart.
"Sorry, Mr. Ollivander."
"It's okay, Miss Qiu Zhang, we still have a long time."
Mr. Ollivander was about to go into the darkness again. Suddenly, something seemed to flash in Qiu Zhang's eyes.
"Wait, Mr. Ollivander!"
Mr. Ollivander just turned around slowly and looked at Qiu Zhang with a puzzled expression. The bright light in Qiu Zhang's eyes became more and more dazzling, and it was hard not to notice it.
"Mr. Ollivander, can I see that glowing wand?"
Mr. Ollivander didn't seem to know what I was talking about. His expression was confused, and he stopped and looked around.
"I'm sorry, but I'm old and my eyesight is not good. I wonder if Miss Qiu Zhang can pinpoint its location exactly?"
Although Mr. Ollivander didn't say anything, the attentive Qiu Zhang still noticed that the glowing wand seemed to be visible only to him.
"Okay. It's the one next to the cream-yellow box at the bottom of the five shelves from where you are."
Mr. Ollivander immediately positioned himself accurately and pointed to the side of the custard box.
"Is it this one?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't make it clear. It's the one on the left side of the custard box."
Mr. Ollivander immediately pulled out the box that was shining with a light that could not be ignored from Qiu Zhang's mouth, and then walked towards Qiu Zhang.
"Oh! This box turns out to be her..."
Mr. Ollivander took out the wand inside, and finally, the dazzling white light no longer irritated Qiu Zhang's eyes.
It was a milky white straight wand with a rough and even texture, and a symbol that looked like a T was engraved on the handle. Qiu Zhang took it carefully and waved it cautiously with his eyes closed, but nothing happened.
"Hmm... maybe this, I'm not sure. In fact, we can try something else, right?"
As Mr. Ollivander said, Qiu Zhang tried to wave again, and the flowerpot that had just been broken miraculously returned to its original shape, and even the flowers inside became more beautiful. At the same time, Qiu Zhang was surrounded by a magical power, feeling warm and comfortable.
"Successful! Does this mean it is my wand?"
Mr. Ollivander had no special expression. He neither nodded nor shook his head as if he was thinking about something.
"I'm not sure, Miss Zhang. Maybe..." Mr. Ollivander looked at the wand in Qiu Zhang's hand and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Miss Qiuzhang, let me introduce this wand to you! Ash wood, night rider tail feathers, 12-inch wand. You must know that ash wood has always been stubborn, not only the user, but also itself. This is probably the same as This is the only ash wand that I have ever taken the initiative to choose its owner again. Its last owner was very powerful, and I believe you will be equally powerful..."
Mr. Ollivander stopped talking and sighed, as if there was something he couldn't finish.
"Mr. Ollivander, I know that riding tail feathers at night represents being able to face death, but how do you know if I will transcend death?"
Mr. Ollivander didn't speak, just sighed deeply
"Don't worry, Mr. Ollivander, I will come to you every year in the future to prove that I am still alive!"
Mr. Ollivander shook his head helplessly, "That's not the reason..." Then he waved his hand and forced Qiu Zhang out.
"You're finally out! Here!" Wood handed Qiu Zhang a vanilla ice cream, and Qiu Zhang took it, but he was not in the mood to eat it.
"What's wrong with you? You've been worried since you came out of the wand shop." Wood saw that Qiu Zhang's ice cream was about to melt and flow on his hands. He still didn't react at all, and bumped Qiu Zhang's shoulder to remind him.
"Oh...it's nothing..." Mr. Ollivander's worried look in Qiu Zhang's mind seemed to still be vivid in his mind. Qiu Zhang shook his head vigorously, trying not to think about those things anymore...
"Let's go to the bookstore!"
