Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 384 Magic Wand Detection

Rita Skeeter's blond hair was styled into delicate, stiff, weird curls.

Paired with her fat face, she looked like a toad with wig curls.

There was a pair of jeweled glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was holding a crocodile leather handbag with his fat fingers. His nails were about two inches long and were painted bright red.

In the second grade, Zhang Xiao and she had an intersection. It was at the first competition show where Qingluan Club donated 32 broomsticks.

The woman tried to use her shorthand quill to write a story about her love and hate relationship with her so-called family - not unlike Thunderstorm.

Of course, Zhang Xiao gave him a good lesson.

Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and gave her a signal. Rita understood, and she smiled stiffly:

"Well - let's start our exclusive interview with a team of one person. I think readers must want to know more about this mysterious school."

Not bad, sensible!

The two came to another small room inside the room. Zhang Xiao looked around. It was supposed to be a broom room, but now there was an empty desk and two chairs.

There is a window here, and warm sunlight is shining through the window, illuminating the room very brightly.

Rita Skeeter's thick fingers tightly held the crocodile leather handbag, and the smile on her face was gone, only fear and nervousness.

"What do you want from me? I haven't published any reports related to you."

Zhang Xiao smiled and waved her to sit down:

"Don't be afraid. You are doing a good job. Every time you publish a report, you bypass the person I told you about."

Rita Skeeter was relieved when she heard this. This little wizard was really scary. He was already very powerful and domineering in the second grade.

Now three years older, he has the appearance of a young man. He looks kind and gentle, but Rita Skeeter has seen countless big shots, and her eyes are very vicious.

It was impossible to see that the little wizard in front of him really had the ability to shut himself up forever.

The reason why she dared to arrange those characters before was because she was smart and discerning. She knew who could arrange and who could arrange what. She would never touch those who couldn't move.

In addition, becoming a beetle also eavesdropped on a lot of dirty information. The combination of these factors allowed her to thrive in the newspaper industry.

Especially when she came to Hogwarts, she immediately heard about the terrifying parting clouds and the palace in the sky, and she became even more frightened and frightened.

After waiting anxiously for a while, I heard the little wizard opposite said calmly:

"Is there anything you want? or desire?"

After a while, Malfoy saw Zhang Xiao and the famous columnist walking out of the room with a smile.

The two said something and then separated. Rita then searched for targets in the crowd. When she found the right one, she dragged them into the small interview room for an interview.

"Zhang, what did you say to her? She is not a good person. She is very good at writing exaggerated things, but strangely, there are some real secrets in her reports.

You have to be careful, because if you say something, she will immediately misinterpret your meaning and concoct a nonsense report. "

At the end, Malfoy added a sentence to support his statement:

"She also wrote about our family's affairs back then. My father spent a lot of effort and a lot of gold and galleons to get her to shut up."

Zhang Xiao patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Thanks, Draco, I know."

Malfoy nodded and said nothing.

Hmm - I really didn't expect that this woman's hobbies were peeping and writing gossip. What she liked most was spreading the half-true and half-false gossip she wrote.

It's almost like the 'Mimeng' in the wizarding world, but she doesn't start with 'men and women', she sells black stuff.

So after Zhang Xiao promised to let billions of people see what she wrote, Rita Skeeter almost fainted with excitement.

He immediately expressed his willingness to pass on some news to Zhang Xiao - related to Death Eaters.

By the way, Zhang Xiao is planning to introduce Rita Skeeter to the Sun as a column editor. Lucius has such a way.

"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter suddenly said loudly, with a look of joy. She hurriedly let go of a man who had been fooled by her, thinking that she would be featured in the "Daily Prophet" the next day. On the front page, an Ilvermorny student is about to become a star.

"How are you?" she said, walking over and extending a big manly hand to Dumbledore: "Have you read my summer article about the International Federation of Wizards Conference?"

"That's great!" Dumbledore said kindly, his blue eyes seeming to be recalling something: "I especially loved reading the paragraph where you described me as an old madman who threw a lot of noise and rolled around in meetings. That section.”

Rita Skeeter didn't show any shame at all. Just as Zhang Xiao guessed, she knew who wouldn't care about her nonsense. Obviously Dumbledore was that kind of person.

"I just wanted to point out that some of your views are a bit outdated, Dumbledore, could you please interview you - you know how crazy our readers are about the Goblet of Fire.

Countless owls fly to the newspaper headquarters every day. They are eager to know every detail of the competition. They will say in their letters - Damn it, why hasn't the competition started yet? Why we don't know any details.

So as one of the people in charge of Goblet of Fire, should you respond to these expectations? "

"I would love to hear your willingness to be interviewed, Rita." Dumbledore said, smiling and politely: "But I'm afraid we will have to discuss this issue later.

The wand testing ceremony was about to begin and I had to perform it. "

After saying that, he left directly and asked the warriors to sit down.

In front of a long table where several desks were joined together, the principals and officials sent by the Ministry of Magic were already sitting there. Sitting in the center was Ollivander.

The official sent by the Ministry of Magic was Ludo Bagman from the Sports Department. He stood up with a happy smile on his round face:

"Well - this wand test is to ensure that all contestants' wands function normally and are not damaged. Otherwise, if an accident occurs during a high-intensity battle, it will be over. After all, the backfire of the wand is not a small accident.

Next, I would like to ask Mr. Ollivander to conduct a wand test for everyone, based on the school. "

As soon as Ollivander's name was spoken, whispers of conversation immediately erupted in the classroom. As one of several wand masters in the world, Ollivander enjoys a high reputation, although he thinks he is the best. Bit.

But in fact, there are still a few people with a similar reputation to him. For example, Durmstrang's students bought it from a master named Gregovich, and the same is true for other schools.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Ludo Bagman began to roll call, and each little wizard stepped forward. Ollivander's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.

He inspected the little wizards' wands with skillful techniques, and reported the material, length, properties and core of each wand with unusual confidence.

It was also at this time that many young wizards realized that there were so many strange materials and wand cores in the world.

For example, the wizards from Castrobushe use many of their wand materials as Bethlehem wood, mahogany, flat poinciana, ebony, and wands made of banyan branches.

The core of the staff is also full of strange things, such as the feathers of the feathered snake, the nerves of the caiman, the spider silk in the abdomen of the spider that never spins silk, the translucent dorsal spines of the White River Monster in Arkansas, the feathers of the thunderbird, the cat leopard hair

There are also some very unique wands that attract everyone’s attention at once.

For example, now, Ollivander inspected Fleur's wand: "Nine and a half inches...very strong...made of maple...contains...oh, my God..."

"Contains a Veela hair." Fleur said, "It's my grandma's hair."

Fleur indeed has Veela blood. Although everyone has rumors that she is a Veela, no one has confirmed it.

Ron's eyes were blurry and he murmured: "Harry, it's true that Veela can have children."

Harry:.

Finally, Ollivander used a special wand detection spell called Orchid Bloom to test it and then said:

"Next. Let me see. Well, yes, it's Hogwarts' turn."

Several people stood up hurriedly and lined up to send the wands up.

""Ah, these are all my works, aren't they? He became obviously excited: "Yes, I remember it very clearly."

He reported everyone's wand data in detail.

"Mr. Diggory twelve and a quarter inches... made of oak... elastic. Unicorn hair."

"Mr. Malfoy is ten inches, hawthorn wood, unicorn hair, very elastic. By the way, you are the only unicorn hair in the Malfoy family. To be honest, I was surprised at first. The wand of the Malfoy family They are all custom made in my family.”

"Oh, Mr. Longbottom, I'm glad you got a new wand. I think it looks good. It's very good and well maintained!"

"Fourteen inches, willow wood, unicorn hair. Mr. Weasley, I am also glad that you have changed your wand. In fact, I have been persuading your mother to change your wand. I think you can use your brother's old wand. Can’t match your talent.”

Ron's face turned red.

"Miss Granger, it's fourteen inches, made of vine wood, and has a core of dragon's heart tendon. It's a very good wand."

"Finally Mr. Potter"

Ollivander carefully put the wand in front of his eyes and admired it. He spent longer than the others.

"Yes, yes, yes. I remember it clearly."

After a while, he sighed and returned the wand to Harry, announcing that the wand was in very good condition.

Finally, he turned his attention to Zhang Xiao. Just as Ludo Bagman was about to announce, he heard Ollivander's voice:

"Oh - Mr. Bagman, please wait a moment."

Under everyone's confused gazes, Ollivander took out a box. After opening it, there was a pair of brand new white silk gloves and brand new eyepieces.

After putting on his gloves and eyepieces, he said with excitement and expectation:

"Please, Mr. Zhang, let me take a look at it again, the most outstanding work of my life!"
