Under the leadership of Prof.McGonagall, Kaizo came to a store. The store door is old and narrow, and the window display at the door is made of faded purple cushions with a magic wand on it.
Above the door is a peeling gold sign that read:Ollivanders have been making exquisite wands since 382 BC.
Kaizo seriously doubted, that this was just far fetched bragging.
If the words on the sign are true, then when their family started making wands, his old country was still fighting for hegemony, and rome was not even an empire.
At that time, Britain was still the land of the Celts, and druidism was popular. The Angsans and Normans who came later were nowhere to be seen.
The two pushed the door open and went in. The copper bell next to the door was rung and made a crisp sound.
The space in the store is not big, except for the counter and a bench.
All that's left are shelves of thousands of long, narrow cardboard boxes containing wands stacked to the ceiling.
Although, it was the beginning of school season at this time, because it was still early, there were no other customers on the store, so it was very quiet.
Kaizo involuntarily breathed softly as he entered. Even though wizards have convenient spells, this store is still very dusty, which is hard for kaizo to understand.
"Good morning, Prof.McGonagall, this is this years little wizard right?" a soft voice said.
An old man suddenly slipped out from from behind a counter and appeared in front of kaizo. He looked at the other person with his big light colored eyes, and seemed very happy.
"Great! You are the first customers to arrive today. I am Garrick Ollivander." Ah, so he is the great wandmaker of Britain.
Seeming to see Kaizo's doubts, Ollivander explained:"In most cases, young wizards often go to other stores first and then choose wands last. This is really strange, obviously for wizards, the wand should be the most important item to buy."
As a new wizard, kaizo shrugged and declined to comment on this topic.
"Well, let's get straight to picking out the wand, kid, hold out your hand."
Following :Ollivander's words, a ruler flew up from the counter and automatically began to measure Kaizo's height, arm span and so on.
"Which hand is your dominant one, kid?"
"Right hand." Kaizo stretched out his right hand and suddenly asked," With all due respect, Mr. Ollivander, does your last name mean that the ancestor of your family used an olive wood wand?"
The meaning of Ollivander is almost a combination of olive tree and wand.
"Oh, yes, indeed, you are such a smart little wizard. Maybe you will be assigned to our Ravenclaw house." Ollivander said in approval, not forgetting to measure. "Please raise your other arm first, Okay."
Fortunately, the tape measure is magically operated, allowing kaizo to aviod being touched by an elderly man.
The ruler starts from the shoulder to the fingertips, then from the wrists to the elbow, the shoulder to the floor, the knees to the armpits, and finally measures the circumference of the head.
Kaizo knows very well that at the age of eleven, he is in a period of rapid physical growth. On average, he can grow several centimeters per year. The clothes he can wear this year will become smaller in a few months.
In this case, the measured data would be soon out of date. He didn't know what use such measurements would have in choosing a wand, so he could only cooperate stupidly.
"Try, this one." He waved his hand, and a box flew over.
"Eleven and a quater inches, made of alder and snake nerve. An alder wand is suitable for wizards who are helpful, considerate and likeable. Can you give it a try?"
Kaizo waved it in his hand, and a burst of fire lit up. Looking at the smoking box, kaizo thought to himself:'In his eyes, I seem to be a loveable wizard?"
Ollivander nodded with satisfaction:"You're lucky, just this one, a total of nine galleons..."
"Wait, is this over? Can I try again, Mr. Ollivander, I don't think it works that well!" Kaizo was shocked to find that the first wand he tested was judged to be suitable by the other party. He suddenly felt a little unwilling.
In his impression, at times likes this, the protagonist would pe particularly picky when choosing a wand.
"It's a strange request that you want to pick another one. The other little wizards all hope to pick the right one quickly..... but okay."
Perhaps out of appreciation for kaizo just said, or perhaps influenced by[Charming Humans], Ollivander agreed to his request.
"If you insist, you might as well try this twelve inch wand with an apple wood and a phoenix tail feather as its core. It is powerful, but not suitable for black magic..."
But when kaizo just touched the wand, before he could wave it, it was snatched away:"No, no, it's not this one." Then he looked at Kaizo with a strange look.
Kaizo was a little confused by this look:"Is this guy trying to hint that I will become a dark wizard?"
"What about this one? Cedar wood, phoenix tail feathers..."
In Ollivander's, wands can only have these three cores:phoenix feathers, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstrings.
However, wands produced by other wand manufacturers may have other wand cores.
Foe example, the core of Fleur's wand is veela hair(her grandmother's hair), while the cores of wand in US are mostly thunderbird tail feathers and cat leopard hair, white river monster back spines, wetland werewolf hair and other materials from the wider America.
Ollivander asked him to try one wand after another. This time he chose wands that could cast powerful spells and even black magic.
But no matter, which one it is, kaizo can successfully use them to make some noise and achieve a perfect match.
But in Ollivander's eyes, every wand can fit perfectly, which means that the perfect fit has not been achieved.
Ollivander who was a little happy at first, already had beads of sweat on his forehead:"Mr. Grindel, this is the first time I have met a wizard like you who can use every wand. The good news is that when necessary, you can easily borrow other people's wands, and you don't have to worry about running of magic wands."
He thought again and again, then returned to the back room and took out a box in silky satin.
In fact kaizo is very satisfied with his situation and thinks it is a reflection of his talents.
Be tolerant to adversity, tolerance is a virtue,
There is a saying in life: When you get along with a person very comfortably, and you feel that you are in love with someone after just a few words, and you feel that the other person understands you very well, it is 80% because the other persons EQ and IQ have completely crushed you.
This sentence is the same here. Being able to adapt to any wand actually means that his talent can overcome the limitations of any wand.
"Try this wand, eleven inches, acacia wood, phoenix feathers." Ollivander carefully took out a straight wand that excluded a golden red luster.
Just seeing this wand, kaizo felt something different. Through the air, a weak attraction came from the wand.
This time when he held the wand in his hand, there was no earth shattering reaction, it was like it was returning to its original nature.
Kaizo could feel a strange feeling rising in his chest.
The wand seemed to have become a part of his body. He only needed to turn his thoughts and the magic power would move with precision.
"Wow! It seems that you two are a good match." Ollivander expression finally became happy.
"Acacia is a distinctive wand wood and I find it difficult to find suitable wizards for it, so I always have very wands in stock."
"But in turn, it only shows its strength to the most talented people, and Mr. Grindel is undoubtedly one of them."
After paying Mr. Ollivander ten galleons for the wand, the two walked out of the shop.
Prof.McGonagall was also very satisfied with the result," Okay, now I have to take you to customize your school uniform."
