Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 280 278. Have you oiled him? No, I'm leaving it!

By the time Dudley made it to the second floor, the wand-testing experts had arrived, along with several of the judges.

Dudley and Harry had left, so it was impossible for Viktor and Fleur to stay there, so they followed.

"Allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander."

Standing next to Dumbledore was an old man of some age, who had met Dudley once, Ollivander, the only wand maker in England.

"He's going to check your wands to make sure they're in good shape before the game."

Ollivander stepped forward, glanced at Fleur first, and said politely: "Miss Delacour, you come first, okay?"

Fleur walked lightly to Ollivander and handed him her wand.

The so-called wand detection is actually Ollivander touching the wand with his fingers, then tapping and waving the wand here and there, and releasing a few small magics.

"Hmm" Ollivander put his ear on the wand and listened, as if he was listening to the whisper of the wand, and then let the wand rotate between his slender fingers like a baton, and the wand sprayed out a lot of pink and gold sparks.

"Not bad." Finally Ollivander returned the wand to Fleur: "Nine and a half inches. Very strong. It's made of maple wood and contains, oh, a Veela hair."

"It's my grandma's hair." Furong admitted decisively. The silver-haired girl smiled and her two rows of white teeth glistened in the sun. She didn't deny the fact that she had Veela blood, but was very proud of it.

The mixed blood of magical creatures and wizards is still relatively discriminated against in the wizarding world, even worse than the situation of Muggle wizards. At least there are a lot of Muggle wizards.

As for mixed races, especially mixed races like Veela, many male wizards treat them as... um... deal with them, and female wizards will be very unfriendly to them, preventing them from seducing their husbands, or even spurning them.

For example, Dudley felt that Bagman couldn't help but glance at Fleur when he heard that Fleur had Veela blood.

If the veela is difficult to understand, you can replace the veela with a succubus mixed blood succubus, or a female. It is destined to be treated unfriendly.

"Very nice design, very suitable for you, Mademoiselle Delacour."

Ollivander returned the wand to Fleur with a normal face. At his age, he had never seen such a big storm.

Not to mention little witches with 1/4 Veela bloodlines, he has seen little witches with 1/2 or 3/4 Veela bloodlines.

"Mr. Krum, it's your turn." Ollivander turned his gaze to Victor.

Victor stepped forward with splayed steps, and handed Ollivander his black, thick, heavy wand.

When the wand was put into Ollivander's hand, it was obvious that his body sank. Victor's wand was full of weight.

Ollivander tapped on the wand for a while and said: "Grigovitch's product, this is an excellent wandmaker, although I don't know his style very well."

"But very healthy."

It's hard to imagine someone using health to describe a wand, but this is Ollivander's characteristic, in his eyes there is not much difference between a wand and a person.

"Next, Mr. Potter."

Ollivander turned his gaze to Harry again, his light-colored eyes flashed with excitement: "Everything seems to have happened yesterday, I remember it clearly... Quick, let me see how it is now. "

Harry handed over the wand hidden in his cuff, and the wand was shiny and shiny in the light, reflecting a different kind of brilliance.

"Extremely well maintained, oh, like new."

Ollivander carefully stroked Harry's wand as if stroking his own wife's body, and even put the wand under his nose and took a deep breath.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is a little abnormality.

"It seems that you often maintain it. Did you oil it yesterday?"

"Ah, um." Harry was a little confused by Ollivander's question, and replied reflexively.

He often does maintenance on the wand, but yesterday it didn't have any oil.

In fact, the oil is right, it's just human oil. In other words, Harry made the wand shine.

Ollivander returned his wand to Harry, who seemed in a very good mood to find a good owner for his work.

"Mr. Dursley at last."

Ollivander paused and looked at the last warrior.

"If I remember correctly, your wand should be iron birch, thestral tail feathers, nine inches."

Of course, his memory is still fresh. The wand he sold to Dudley was the work he was most dissatisfied with, but now that Dudley has actually become a Hogwarts warrior with it, he naturally feels more about that wand. Curious.

Dudley was also unambiguous, and handed the wand to Ollivander.

"You transformed it?" Ollivander stared blankly at the changed wand in his hand. If he hadn't been sure that it was the one he gave Dudley back then, he would have suspected that this wand was He didn't make it anymore.

"Oh, what a genius idea"

After all, Ollivander is a famous wand master throughout Europe. Even though the crafting techniques used are different, he still sees some tricks.

"It's also interesting to talk about how it was made. A lot of things you know come from an epiphany. And it came from an epiphany of mine."

Ollivander usually would not use iron birch, a very hard wood, as the trunk of the wand, because it is very poor in flexibility and ductility, and he would not use the tail feathers of thestrals as the core of the wand. It is a very unstable material.

So far, the only well-known wand using thestral tail feathers as the core is the Elder Wand, one of the Three Hallows of the Death.

Under normal circumstances, Ollivander would not even take a look at these two completely incompatible materials.

Suddenly one day he had a convulsion, so he made one out of these two kinds of materials.

"I thought it was the worst failure of all my work."

"I didn't expect it to be a half-finished product, waiting, waiting for someone who can take it away."

Ollivander handed back the wand to Dudley: "And you finished it"

"Though I personally don't like wands modified like this."

He was referring to the practice of embedding magic crystals on wands.

"But it's happy, and I'm happy too."

Ollivander's attitude towards wands is actually the same as that of children. It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand chooses the wizard. This is Ollivander's favorite saying.

"I wish you good luck in the competition."
