Chapter 135: Ronald's Wand and the Hermit of Diagon Alley
"Yes, but we all call him Sir.
The house-elf explained.
"But why use rotten food that?
Is normal bad?
"Because ghosts basically have no sense of taste.
Rotten and spoiled food will taste greater, that's why they'll like it.
Because it gives them a taste of some of the food. ""
Braun explained in due course.
The house-elf also kept nodding.
"Yes, basically every few decades we have to prepare.
To be honest, it's not that easy.
Because these foods will still be disposed of by us after the banquet.
And it's easy to make the kitchen stink. ’
After wandering around the kitchen with the house-elves for a while.
Braun felt like the time was running out.
So he pulled Ronald away, who was still a little reluctant.
"Hey, I've seen enough of that. There are also some cakes that are almost baked!99
"You have time to eat cake later.
Now follow me to the principal's office. ”
"Go, headmaster's office? For, why?"
Ronald asked nervously.
Braun rolled his eyes:
"In the whole of Hogwarts, only the headmaster's office is connected to the Floo network.
Where are you not going to the principal's office?"
"Good morning! Hermione!35
Braun greeted as he passed by the Gryffindor lounge.
"Good morning, what are you going to do?"
Hermione asked curiously.
"Go buy Ronald a wand." Don't worry. We're not running out. We told the principal that we are going to go to the principal's office to borrow the floo net. 35
Braun blocked Hermione's words.
"Well, go early and go back early!
"Will do! Oh, the cake just baked in the kitchen. The temperature is just right to taste!
Braun said, pulling out a piece of cake out of nowhere.
Then he waved his hand and pulled Ronald upstairs.
"You said it wasn't baked!
Ronald said disapprovingly, looking around at Braun.
Want to find out where the cake is.
"Yes, but these were given to me by the house-elves when I left. Stop pulling! Do you still want a wand?"
"Okay, okay.
Ronald withdrew his hand and followed Braun.
"Password!
A stone statue with sharp corners blocked the door and said.
"Cockroach pile!
Braun casually returned.
The stone statue jumped aside.
The big mouth with sharp teeth yawned.
He closed his eyes in confusion again.
I really don't understand why stones doze off.
Braun suppressed this doubt in his heart.
Push open the door.
Dumbledore was sitting at the table eating breakfast.
He was also wearing pure white pajamas.
He wears a hat with small balls on his head.
A pair of woolen socks are worn over his feet.
It's kind of funny.
"Good morning gentlemen. Would you like to eat a little together?"
"No, thank you professor. We came to borrow the fireplace. ”
Braun said.
"Okay. Go early to the morning meeting. 35
Dumbledore said as he fed Phoenix Fox some breadcrumbs.
"Diagon Alley! 35
Ronald sprinkled some floo powder in the fireplace.
The same goes for Braun.
Sprinkle in floo powder and wait until the flame turns green, then stand in and say where you want to go.
"Ahem!"
Braun coughed a few times.
He choked on the magic flames.
I was still coughing when I walked out of the public fireplace.
It took a while to get comfortable.
"It's a good feeling, at least better than a portkey. 35
Braun said.
"It's just too easy to stain clothes, and the price of floo powder is a bit expensive.
Ronald patted his clothes.
"Okay, let's not delay. Get out quickly. I felt that the old wizard on duty was a little impatient.
Braun whispered as he pulled Ronald.
Because it's not the day of school.
So Diagon Alley should be much colder.
And at this moment, it is just after eight o'clock, and many shops have not yet opened.
"Where is Uncle Foley? Didn't you say you would come and pick us up?"
"There.
Braun pointed to Mr. Foley, who was eagerly chatting with an old wizard.
Mr. Foley apparently saw Braun as well.
After saying goodbye to the old wizard, he came over.
"Let's go, let's go to the store and wait for a while." Ollivander won't have to open the store until a while. Seriously, I didn't expect you to come so early.
Mr. Foley muttered a few words and led the two to the Foley Potions Shop.
"Uncle Foley, my father..."
Ronald couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. was fined three months' wages.
Luckily, I removed most of the magic from the car.
Otherwise, just a few traceless telescopic spells would be enough for your father to drink a few pots.
Mr. Foley said, pouring Ronald a cup of hot milk.
"Don't be so reckless next time.
As well as the things you said about the platform not passing, I also investigated who should have cast the spell at that time.
Block the door.
Because there is a reason for it.
So the Ministry of Magic will not punish you and that friend of yours. ”
Mr. Foley said.
Ronald was relieved by these words.
After a week of worry, I was finally relieved.
Wait until after nine o'clock.
The Ollivander Wand shop opens.
The three passed.
"Ringing bells..."
The doorbell that opened the door made a crisp ring.
Braun, the tendon of an eleven-inch dragon in oak. A strong wand.
How's it going?"
Ollivander said as usual, although a little surprised.
"Very nice sir," Braun said, pulling out his wand.
"I wax it every day.
Ollivander took it and looked at it very satisfied:
"Your wand is very happy, and it seems that he was very happy to have chosen you as its owner.
Remember, the wand is the wizard's best friend and you must treat him well. ""
"I will, sir!"
Braun took his wand and said.
"Then what are you here for today?
Maintenance kit?
I feel that your wand is well maintained, and there is no need to spend money on flashy things. ""
"Yes, my nephew."
Mr. Foley said, pulling Ronald out from behind him.
"Oh, I really haven't seen it. Probably didn't buy a wand from me.
But well.
The redhead, needless to say, must belong to the Weasley family.
I remember a little girl coming here this year, and I remember her wand being purple shirt and unicorn feathers.
The Weasleys seem to have a preference for the core of unicorn feathers. ”
"Yes, sir. I used to use my brother's wand, but it broke. ”
Ronald said with some embarrassment.
It seems that it is a shame for the wand to break.
"It's okay kid. Wand Selection Wizard. Here you can find your partner.
Ollivander reassured.
"'Come on, let me measure it for you first.'' ”
Ollivander skillfully took out the tape measure.
After the measurement, three wooden boxes were taken out.
"Let's try. See how it goes. 35
Ollivander handed over a wand and said.
Before Ronald could clench it, he was taken back.
"No, it's just not. Try this.
Ronald held his wand, and small sparks erupted from the tip of the wand.
"It's not close, what's this, how about this?
I saw that the moment Ronald held his wand, the tip of the wand shot out a white light.
"Looks good. Willow wood fourteen-inch long staff core is unicorn feathers.
Wave with the sound of the wind.
Willow has a very powerful magical healing ability, suitable for casting silent spells, and will choose some wizards with strong potential. Looks like you've got to work hard. ""
Ollivander blinked.
"Is it? But I always felt like I was always slow to learn things. ”
Ronald said lossfully, holding his wand.
"Believe in yourself, kid. You'll have a decent achievement.
"How much?"
Mr. Foley asked.
"Every wizard's first wand is subsidized.
Ten galleons are enough.
Ronald didn't wait for Mr. Foley to pay for it.
He took out the gold gallons he had pit from Lockhart and handed over the money.
"Thank you for your patronage!" (Nord's)
Ollivander said without hesitating to put Garon back in the drawer.
He didn't care about the money.
Every year, the orders given to him by the English Ministry of Magic alone were enough for him to make a lot of money.
The shop was opened solely to maintain ancestral fame and the joy of seeing wizards get their wands.
"See you next time then! Mr. Ollivander!"
Mr. Foley said.
The three of them left the wand shop and did not go directly back to Hogwarts, after all, they had to play once they finally came out.
"You two are walking around here on your own. Don't go to Diagon Alley. Carl, you follow them.
"Yes! Master!""
An old house-elf said hoarsely.
It is also a House-Elf of the Foley family, but is generally in charge of the Potions Shop.
Very rarely go to Forlì Castle.
"Little master, I won't bother you if you stroll around."
With that, Carl disappeared.
However, Braun's keen intuition could still detect that he was standing there not far away, but he couldn't see it.
"Say yes in advance, you will be treated to today's expenses! I didn't bring any money.
"Okay, okay."
Ronald took out his purse with some heartache.
"How about going for ice cream first?"
Ronald pointed to the Florin Volkswagen ice cream shop not far away.
