Chapter 5 Calling God to Guard
Chapter 5 Calling for God’s Guard
Ollivanders is an old shop that has been making sophisticated wands since 382 BC. There is a solitary wand in the dusty window, and the gold-lettered signboard has peeled off, making the store look small.
It's shabby, at least compared to other dazzling and beautifully decorated shops, it looks like it's about to close down, but it is recognized as the best shop for making wands in the entire wizarding world.
When they entered the store, there was a tinkling bell at the back of the store. There was nothing but a bench. Behind the counter was a large cabinet with thousands of long and narrow paper boxes almost reaching the ceiling, covered with
The thick dust made Pomona feel inexplicably sad.
"Pete, can everyone only choose one wand of their own in their lifetime?"
"What?" He was just about to sit down on the bench when he was stunned when Pomona asked.
"Of course." A soft voice said, and a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of them from behind the shelf. He had a pair of big, light-colored eyes, which looked like two flashes of light in the dim store.
bright moon.
"Why?" she asked a little cautiously.
"Every Ollivander's wand contains super powerful magical substances, which is its essence. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves. Each one is unique.
Since there are no two identical unicorns, dragons or phoenixes in the world, and you will never have the best spellcasting effect when you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, I think this is enough to answer your question."
"But how do you know that the wand you choose now will be suitable for you in the future?" Pomona said anxiously, "People change."
"Yeah~, I understand." The middle-aged man looked at Pomona and said after a while, "You are a Veela hybrid, right?"
Pomona felt very embarrassed, but finally nodded.
"Please wait a moment, let me think about it, where is it?" Ollivander said as he shuttled between the shelves, took down some long boxes, opened them, rolled them into a roll again, and stuffed them back. After a while, he finally
"Aha", he took out a wand placed on blue velvet.
"Let's try this one, miss. By the way, what's your name?"
"Pomona, Pomona Martin."
"Miss Martin, this wand is made of beech wood and Veela hair. It is seven inches long and very flexible. You can try to wave it."
Pomona smiled bitterly. It turned out that in the eyes of wizards, Veela were classified as magical creatures like unicorns, dragons and phoenixes, but she still picked up the wand and felt a kind of power coming from her fingertips.
It was like testing the temperature of the water in the bathtub. It was neither cold nor hot, just right. Then a stream of white smoke flowed out of the wand like running water, and then it quickly turned into white mist, constantly deforming in the air, and finally became
A beautiful swan.
Both Ollivander and Peter were stunned. After a while, Ollivander shouted, "Great, so great, so wonderful, so wonderful!"
"What happened, Pete?" Pomona looked at her knight at a loss.
"Calling the Guardian, it is a very high level of magic in the magical world. When it works, it can summon a patron saint. It can resist dementors like a shield." Peter pointed to the magic weapon surrounding Bomer.
Na Fei's swan was so horrified that she said, "This is the first time I've seen someone be able to conjure this thing with just one hand."
"This may be related to the fact that Miss Martin has Veela blood. Veela is a shape-shifting female elf who lives in forests, lakes, mountains and clouds. She can transform into swans, horses and wolves.
When dancing under the moonlight, those who are infatuated with them will forget everything in the world. Do you know what the consequences will be when dementors attack people? Mr. Sprout."
"Do you still remember me?"
"Of course I remember you. Ollivander remembers every wand he sold and their owners. I remember it was five years ago when you and your grandmother came to buy a wand, right? It was a holly wood.
, a unicorn hair wand?”
"Yes, if you are still studying at Hogwarts, I would say two points." Peter smiled and said, "When the dementors appear, it will make people feel cold, as if people have lost all enthusiasm and courage.
, only the most painful memories in the heart are left. They feed on people's hope, happiness and desire to live. When using the guardian spirit, you must try your best to recall a happy event to summon the guardian spirit. What were you thinking about just now?
, Pomona?”
"I didn't think about anything." Pomona lied. She was glad that she was just a Veela and only needed to pull out a hair, instead of having her nerves removed like some poor dragon and become the material for making a wand.
"This wand has been made for more than three hundred years. It was made by my great-great-great-grandfather. I didn't expect that it was only sold in my generation." Ollivander put the wand into the box and said as he spoke.
Wrap it in a brown paper bag. "Wonderful, really wonderful."
"Wait a minute," Pomona said. "I'm going to try another wand."
Ollivander and Peter looked at her in surprise.
"Why? This one suits you very well, doesn't it?"
"I only tried one wand, how do you know there won't be another wand that suits me better!"
"When you feel right, even if you fall in love at first sight, you will be happy for a lifetime." Ollivander advised, "You have to believe in your feelings, Miss Martin."
"It's like an arm." Peter rolled up his sleeves. "Of course the original one is best. Cut off the original one and replace it with a new one. Even if it is Merlin's, it may not be suitable for me."
Tears welled up in Pomona's eyes, and she finally turned to Ollivander angrily, "Should every little wizard be accompanied by an adult wizard when buying a wand?"
This is stipulated by the Ministry of Magic. The magic power of young wizards is very unstable, and the unstable wand often causes accidents. However, most people do not take this regulation seriously.
"Yes……"
"Then let's go, Pete, I will find an adult to accompany me to buy it next time."
"Don't be such a girl, Pomona." Pete complained impatiently, "Why do you always like to make trouble for nothing?"
"Oh, for God's sake, I'm a girl!" Pomona was furious. "You also said that when people asked me who I was, I said I was dating you. Is it possible that you would date a boy?
?”
Both Peter and Ollivander were stunned. After a moment, Peter cursed and reluctantly left with Pomona.
"Wait." Just when Peter's hand touched the doorknob, Ollivander handed over the packed wand, "Take it away. Since the third century BC, no one has left Ollivander.
I left empty-handed."
"Thank you." Pete took it before Pomona could say anything. "How much should I pay you?"
"No need." Ollivander said with a relieved smile, "You have already helped me a lot."
Both Pomona and Peter thought Ollivander's words were strange, but they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there were weirdos everywhere in the wizarding world.
"I won't use it." Pomona warned Pete. "I will come with your mom again next time she has a holiday."
"Come on, who knows when she will have time to rest." Peter said as he opened the door, and there was a group of people standing outside Ollivander's shop, it was Lily Evans and the Snape family.
"Hi, Pomona!" Lily waved to her excitedly, while Snape looked away arrogantly.
In fact, Pomona knew that her warning was of no use to a brave Gryffindor girl. They were so brave that they would not give in even if they faced unknown dangers.
In comparison, the girls in Badger House are much more sensitive and timid, which is why other houses look down on Hufflepuff.
Gryffindor pursues courage, Ravenclaw pursues knowledge, Slytherin pursues ambition, and Hufflepuff pursues family and love.
Mediocre people are not worthy of being with outstanding people.
Pomona felt inexplicably frustrated, and what made her even more confused was why she insisted on finding a second wand of her own. In fact, she knew that the original one suited her very well, but she was so stubborn that she wanted to compete with fate.
Fighting, so as Pete said, looking for trouble for herself like a stupid girl.
