Big-Spending Hagrid
Damn, I used to think Ollivander wouldn't let me touch it just to increase my anticipation and highlight the wand's value, but now, this wand seems to actually be something special.
Not only was Lester dumbfounded, but Ollivander was too.
That shouldn't be! Based on how Lester behaved when he picked up other wands, exactly as described in the ancient books, it's clear Lester is a born Dark Magic genius. How could he not be a good match for this wand?
Unless Lester just subdued those wands not because of his powerful Dark Magic talent, but because of his powerful malevolent aura.
Compared to ordinary, honest wizards, dark wizards who use Dark Magic year-round have much lower requirements for wands, because as long as they are given a wand, they can use it.
Their long-term use of Dark Magic for killing has imbued their bodies with a powerful malevolent aura. Under the impact of this aura, even unsuitable wands can cast spells.
But how could Lester, an 11-year-old boy, have any malevolent aura when he arrived, brought along by Dumbledore's confidants?
Just as Ollivander misjudged the situation and was about to rush to the rescue, Lester heard a system notification in his ear.
[Ding! Legendary wand detected. "Dark Lord's Wand". Equip?]
"The Dark Lord's Wand?" Lester, writhing in pain, heard the system notification and felt utterly humiliated. He had thought that even if the Ollivander Family placed a bet, they wouldn't be able to come up with anything truly valuable. But it turned out that old man Ollivander was really shameless, giving him something so awesome.
"Yes, equip me right now!" Lester shouted frantically in his mind.
As soon as Lester finished speaking, the wand, which had been in a state of riot, instantly quieted down, and the magic that had been raging within Lester's body became like a docile cat, constantly repairing the tissues they had just destroyed.
"System is awesome!"
After the system notification indicated that the wand had been successfully equipped, Lester, holding the wand, felt as if he had become one with it, able to use it at will.
For some reason, Lester felt an immense sense of familiarity with this wand, as if it had always belonged to him.
He could freely use the powerful magic within the wand.
Lester, engrossed in savoring the wand's allure, failed to notice that Ollivander's face behind him was already contorted with excitement.
His withered old mouth trembled with excitement as he muttered to himself, "Genius, a true genius of Dark Magic! He can actually wield this legendary wand!"
"Come, child, let's sign the Blood Pact according to our previous agreement," Ollivander said impatiently, fearing that Lester might change his mind. "You will have the support of the Ollivander Family, and all you need to do is protect the Ollivander Family after you grow up."
Hearing Ollivander's words, Lester pursed his lips, but still dutifully extended his wand as agreed.
Although this wand almost killed him just now, Ollivander didn't do it on purpose, did he?
Most importantly, this wand truly belongs to the Ollivander Family. If he wants to obtain it, he must sign Blood Pact with Ollivander. Otherwise, he would never agree to let Lester return the wand, no matter what.
Slowly raising the Dark Lord's Wand, Lester chanted the Blood Pact oath incantation and signed the Blood Pact with Ollivander.

Even after Lester learned the spell, he didn't let his guard down. Who knew if Ollivander would try some tricks with the spell?
Lester was relieved only after the system notified him that he had learned the Blood Pact spell and signed the Blood Pact with Ollivander.
"Why hasn't Lester arrived yet? Could he have been... taken advantage of by that old man Ollivander?"
Standing in front of the Owl Shop, Harry looked somewhat uneasily at the passersby on the street, hoping to spot that familiar figure.
"Don't worry, Harry, Ollivander is a good man. Dumbledore told me we can trust him."
"But why are they taking so long to choose a wand?"
"Who knows? Maybe Lester's constitution is special. Look, isn't that Lester?"
Suddenly, Hagrid, with his sharp eyes, spotted that familiar figure—who else could it be but Lester?
"Harry, Hagrid, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Lester had seen the worry in Harry's eyes from a distance and was also touched.
"So, Lester, have you found the right wand for you?"
"Of course, don't you know who I am!" With that, Lester pulled out his Dark Lord's Wand with a show of bravado and waved it in front of Harry's eyes twice.
"Cool!" Harry exclaimed sincerely, and even Hagrid nodded, agreeing that the wand was amazing.
Now that Lester had arrived, Hagrid saw no need to stand guard at the Owl Shop entrance any longer and led Harry and Lester inside.
"Harry, Lester, you two probably don't have a pet yet," Hagrid said generously. "Hogwarts allows young wizards to bring a pet to school. You can choose one here as a gift from me!"
"That's wonderful, Hagrid!" Harry almost jumped up with excitement upon hearing this; he had always wanted a small pet to alleviate his loneliness.
"I already have an owl, so I probably don't need to buy another pet," Lester shook his head, the image of Toto, the silly little owl, popping into his mind.
"Alright, then you can take some owl food. I'm sure your owl will like it." Hearing that Lester already had an owl, Hagrid generously picked up a large bag of owl food from beside him, indicating that he wanted to give it to Lester.
Lester glanced at the price of the bag of owl food and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This stuff was too expensive, costing 5 Galleon.
However, seeing Hagrid's wealthy demeanor, Lester acquiesced to the gift.
Don't let Hagrid's slovenly appearance fool you; he's a true winner in life. Even his cushions are made of Unicorn Hair, and his house is filled with expensive materials.
Given his talent, if Hagrid weren't Dumbledore's confidant, Lester would definitely have tried to recruit him to Azkaban.
