Tom finally got the magic wand, but Dumbledore became a little uneasy.
Basilisk is an extremely dangerous black Magical Creatures. Its eyes have a lethal effect, and its scales can resist many magics. More importantly, the nearest Basilisk was personally cultivated by Master Slytherin.
It is said that Chamber of Secrets is still among Hogwarts, guarding that lord.
Now, if a little wizard with a ghost of Basilisk in his wand wants to study in Hogwarts, will there be any big problems?
But before he could hesitate, Ollivander invited him and Mo Fei out of the room for a very simple reason.
"I'm going to give this little wizard a test, and I'm going to use some of our family's secret magic, so please go out for a moment. It'll be fine soon. You can watch from outside..."
After saying that, he made a gesture to go out.
Mo Fei seemed to be aware of it, and then took the initiative to leave. Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, but decided to believe in Ollivander's character.
When Dumbledore and Mo Fei went out and stood at the door like door gods.
Ollivander did not take out his wand to cast a spell, he just looked at Tom mysteriously.
"There is a legend that if you want to drive Snakewood Wand, you must have Parseltongue. So, kid, what is your name?"
Knowing that the man in front of him had seen something, Tom himself was a little nervous, but after thinking about the Silencing Charm he had seen before, he decided to believe it.
Among them, driving Dumbledore out is a big bonus.
"I was abandoned in the orphanage. There was only a note saying Tom·Marvolo·Riddle..."
Ollivander frowned, "Riddle, that's not right... wait a minute, Marvolo, could it be Marvolo·Gaunt?... Yes, that must be the case, then it makes sense..."
"Did you know that Parseltongue is the symbol inherited from Slytherin?"
Ollivander didn't consider at all how a child who grew up in Muggle could know Slytherin's name, so he asked directly.
"Whether you know it or not, let me tell you one thing. The family that inherits the Slytherin bloodline is called Gaunt family. Your mother should be the daughter of Gaunt family who disappeared that year - Merope·Gaunt, your grandfather is Marvolo·Gaunt, you should also have an uncle Morfin·Gaunt..."
Ollivander seemed to be setting the stage for something at this time, directly deducing the life experience of Tom.
Tom was a little excited about these news, but not that excited.
In the life in the orphanage, he has become accustomed to the life here, which is fulfilling and challenging.
He actually didn't want to see those relatives who abandoned him.
So, he just replied "Oh" and stopped talking.
Ollivander didn't care, "Since you are the bloodline of Gaunt family, you are very likely to complete this wand. Therefore, I have something to ask you... When you complete this wand in the future, please bring it to me for a look... Is that okay..."
As he spoke, there was some pleading in his voice.
This request was not difficult for Tom, so he agreed directly.
As for when, Tom did not give a commitment, and Ollivander did not continue.
After saying that, he took two steps back, opened the door, and welcomed Mo Fei and the others in again.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong. It's the most suitable combination. He will definitely be a great wizard in the future..."
This evaluation is not ordinary.
Dumbledore glanced at the wand in Tom's hand again and pursed his lips.
Then I planned to take out Galleon to pay.
They were in such a hurry that they completely forgot to go to Gringotts to withdraw money.
But this time, Tom stopped his movement, "No, I have money..."
With that said, he took out 7 Galleon from his arms and handed them to Ollivander.
It's just that Ollivander accepted one, and then put the others into Tom's hands again, "It's enough to have this one as a witness, as long as you remember what you promised me..."
The conversation between the two once again attracted the attention of Dumbledore.
But they had already obtained the magic wand, and it was no longer time to stay here, so they simply walked out.
At this time, Dumbledore still asked, "Tom, where did you come from Galleon? There shouldn't be anything in Muggle's world..."
Before he finished asking, he knew the reason, "Oh, Kyle, I almost forgot about him. He must have prepared the money for you to enter school a long time ago... It seems that his business is really improving now..."
Although the facts are very similar, it is true that the money was not given by Kyle.
Kyle wanted to pay for it, but Mo Fei refused.
He is responsible for the future of every child. When it's Tom's turn, he can't be asked to pay as his brother... Besides, he has to study magic materials and techniques, and the consumption is not small at all...
This money was the money that Mo Fei made from selling food processing techniques when he first started selling it. It was not much every year, but it was still enough for Kyle to finish school. In addition, several years had passed, and Gringotts had enough money again.
He asked Kyle to withdraw part of the money before, and he just happened to use it now.
After Dumbledore learned that he did not need a school loan, he took Tom directly to buy things.
In Flourish and Blotts, they bought the latest teaching materials. In fact, they could use the teaching materials left by Kyle, but because they wanted to take a look at the bookstore, they also came here.
From when Kyle went to school to now when Tom goes to school, the bookstore has not changed at all, it is still the same.
As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted by a huge space. The surrounding shelves are full of shelves. The images on them repeat various actions. They are filled with recently popular books and magazines.
The textbook area is very far back.
Tom flipped through a newspaper out of curiosity, and it turned out that it happened to be Daily Prophet. What was being reported above was Grindelwald's ever-serious claims from Germany.
In the newspaper, it seems that Grindelwald was called the dictator of the new era in harsh words. It seems that in his imagination, if Grindelwald really unified the world, the wizard would be doomed...
But even so, there is no image of Grindelwald in the newspapers. The scenes in the newspapers are all of the terrified expressions of the masses.
Tom put the newspaper down, but Dumbledore suddenly spoke.
"What do you think of the information in the newspaper?" His eyes were blocked by his glasses and he couldn't see clearly his specific attitude.
But the meaning of temptation is very obvious.
Tom's answer was very simple, "I'm just lying down and watching. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just an unarmed first-year freshman. I just got my wand today, and I haven't even started formal magic practice. What do these important things have to do with me? If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up..."
His attitude made Dumbledore a little confused.
But in the end there was no further testing.
Tom saw all the teaching materials of Hogwarts and planned to buy them all, but was stopped by Dumbledore.
"As a little wizard, don't aim too high, take it little by little..." Finally, Tom was forced to buy only the first-grade textbooks.
This attitude lets Tom know that the professor in front of him attaches great importance to a sense of proportion...
