Ollivander was startled and kindly reminded, "Mr. Potter, people in the wizarding world usually refer to that person as Voldemort. You..."
"No need. I don't want this wand! Please find me another one!"
Harry directly put down the wand in his hand. Different from the the Savior in the original story who was so kind that he could almost forgive the enemy who massacred his family, this Harry, under the influence of Dudley, had a clear and straightforward sense of morality and a simple understanding of good and evil.
He extremely repelled anything related to Voldemort.
"Don't be hasty, Harry!"
Just as Mr. Ollivander was at a loss, Dudley walked over and spoke.
"Cousin, this wand..." Harry pursed his lips, with a confused look on his face.
Dudley gently stroked the tuft of hair sticking up on Harry's head and comforted him, "We should always first understand the function of twin wands from Mr. Ollivander before making a decision."
"This gentleman..." Ollivander said in a questioning tone.
"Dudley Dursley!"
Dudley reported his name.
Previously at The Leaky Cauldron, everyone was focused on Harry, and no one paid attention to Dudley. So Ollivander didn't know Dudley's full name.
Reporting one's name was a rule in Ollivander's shop.
Everyone who bought a wand in this shop, their name and the wand they bought would be firmly remembered by Ollivander in his mind.
No matter how much time passed, Ollivander could clearly recall the corresponding information, comparable to a computer.
"Mr. Dursley asked a good question!"
Ollivander liked wizards who were interested in wand knowledge, as long as they didn't touch on his core wand-making skills.
Only to hear him explain, "Twin wands are very peculiar. If the people who hold twin wands are friends and cast spells together against enemies, then the power of the spells of both of them will increase tenfold.
But if the people who hold twin wands are enemies of each other, then the spells they cast will cancel each other out because the wands don't want to attack their brothers. They've got their own preferences!"
"Got it!"
Dudley nodded and then looked at Harry.
Harry immediately understood what his cousin meant, "I know, cousin! I'll take this wand!"
"Well then, Mr. Ollivander, my brother and I have chosen our wands. I also need to trouble you with something else..."
Dudley said to Mr. Ollivander briskly.
"Wait a moment! Mr. Dursley, please wait a moment!"
Only then did Ollivander notice the wand box in Dudley's hand. What a decisive customer, actually choosing a wand by himself!
This wouldn't do! The Ollivander family would never sell a wand to an incompatible wizard!
"Mr. Dursley, it's the wand that chooses the wizard! Do you understand? Choosing a wand is a very serious..."
Ollivander said with a straight face, but he couldn't go on.
Because Dudley opened the slender box in his hand and took out the Poplar Wood Wand inside.
He held it in his hand and gave it a gentle wave!
Silver sparks spurted everywhere!
It was soft, gorgeous, and obedient!
"How is this possible?" Ollivander was stunned.
Dudley didn't use any tricks of his family. He just looked around casually and was able to pick such a wand that suited him so well among thousands of them right away?!
He even chose it through the box of wands!!!
"Please, do tell me your secret!"
Ollivander was beside himself with joy. He stepped forward and grabbed Dudley's hand. His silvery eyes showed a strong thirst for knowledge.
"It's not difficult for those who have a heart, Mr. Dursley!" Dudley said seriously while bluffing. "Just as you've said, the wand chooses the wizard! Well, as long as we feel their intentions, we can accurately select the wand that favors us!
You and your ancestors gave them life. Logically, you should be able to get closer to their hearts more easily, right?
If you can communicate with the wands' intentions, then in the future when choosing wands for wizards, you won't have to measure with a ruler all the time. Just ask which wand favors the guest the most! The workload will be greatly reduced!"
"So that's how it's done?"
Ollivander was in a daze. He kept thinking about the theory Dudley just made up in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed!
Makes sense! It makes so much sense!
Ollivander was beside himself with joy. An old man actually started flailing around randomly on the spot. He looked extremely happy.
"Don't be so hasty to dance! I still have something to talk to you about!" Dudley quickly pressed on Ollivander's shoulders. His strong strength instantly made Ollivander unable to jump anymore.
"Never mind! I know! Thank you, Mr. Dursley, for imparting such an important secret to me! You don't need to pay! I'll give you two wands for free!" Ollivander was still very happy and being generous because of his joy.
"That would be great! Could you give us a few more wands?" Dudley had a hide as thick as a rhinoceros and seized the opportunity, smiling cheerfully.
"Ah?"
Ollivander was stunned. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "A person can only hold one wand at a time. Before the wand is damaged, it cannot be replaced. This is a regulation of the Ministry of Magic.
At the same time, our family also fully recognizes this regulation. It's impossible for us to sell wands in bulk just like other ordinary goods, as if they were some random items!"
"We're not being casual! Look out of the window!"
Dudley said in a hushed tone, as if imparting some top - secret information.
Ollivander was startled and looked out of the window at the store entrance.
He saw Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, and Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic, taking a graceful turn and striding away.
"Could it be..." Ollivander had a guess.
"Shh! Don't say it aloud!" Dudley reminded mysteriously.
"All right then! Since that's the situation, what other wands do you want? Who will be using them?"
Ollivander compromised. He thought he was involved in some major event that could affect the pattern of the British wizarding world.
"That one! And that one!"
Dudley brandished the newly - acquired Poplar Wood Wand and effortlessly cast two Accio Boulder spells, fetching two boxes of wands from the shelf.
These two wands. One of them is highly compatible with the [bloodline of a weak wizard] within him. The material of the wand shaft and the core is the same as the one Harry holds, but it is made from other trees and a different phoenix. They aren't twin wands.
The other one has an oak shaft and a unicorn tail hair core, made of the same material as Hagrid's umbrella wand. It was prepared by Dudley for his dad, Uncle Vernon.
He took the blood Hagrid left in the underground vaults. Naturally, he didn't do it for no good reason.
"I'll take these two wands! Who I'll give them to is confidential! Mr. Ollivander, for your own personal safety, it's better that you don't know!"
Dudley had a solemn expression, looking as if he was doing it for Ollivander's own good.
Sure enough, Ollivander fell for it. He shrank his head and didn't ask any more questions: "Take them!"
"Another thing!"
As Dudley spoke, he stuffed the two newly acquired wands into the specially sewn inner pocket of his coat, then took out Quirrell's cracked wand and placed it in front of Mr. Ollivander.
"You've got to help me figure out who this wand belongs to and issue a certificate for me!"
