Kyle is still a little worried. If it is the same as before, it will be too uncomfortable.
However, because of the desire to have a magic wand, he still reached out and held it. This time the feeling was different from before.
There was no severe pain like being struck by lightning like before, but instead a slippery feeling like a loach swinging unsteadily in the hand, as if it was about to escape from the hand in the next second.
The wand in his hand seemed to twist uncomfortably, and then a large cloud of thick green smoke erupted. The smell was a bit choking, and Kyle couldn't help but cough several times.
This time, Ollivander snatched the wand back, "It seems that this one is not suitable..."
"Then try this one again?"
Because I didn't feel that bad the next day, Kyle no longer resisted.
So, the wizard's traditional activity began - choosing a wand.
Finally, with the sixth wand, he chose his most suitable partner.
As soon as I got the wand, I felt a sense of coolness, just like the joy of drinking a large glass of ice water on a hot summer day.
Immediately afterwards, some mist appeared at the top of the wand, and many wonderful little people loomed in the mist.
This time, Ollivander looked at Kyle and concluded with satisfaction, "Silver basswood, Unicorn Tail Hair, 11¼ inches, medium flexible--a good choice."
"Silver basswood is most suitable for wizards who are imaginative, good at fantasy, and intuitive. It hates cold and ambitious holders; it prefers people with pure minds and soft hearts. The feathers of the unicorn make the wand extremely loyal. Once a bond is established, it will firmly adhere to the owner; but the only thing is that it is easily affected by the owner's emotions..."
His explanation of the wand gave Mo Fei a certain understanding of the science of this wand.
Magical items like wands seem to fit the wizard's personality and life from the very beginning.
Mo Fei has a guess. Perhaps when a wizard's life undergoes more changes, the original wand will either evolve again, or be simply abandoned, and a new wand of compatibility will need to be chosen.
As a wand master, Garrick, can he see many life trajectories from the wand?
In other words, isn't this a special kind of Divination?
Thinking again about Britain that almost all wizards buy wands here, then...Ollivander Family knows so many secrets...
Thinking of this, Mo Fei suddenly stood in awe of the man in front of him.
If you think about it this way, it makes sense that Ollivander Family is the so-called Sacred Twenty-Eight in Britain.
Mo Fei's thoughts have no meaning to the man in front of him.
He was just paying attention to the wand in Kyle's hand.
After a series of topics about wands, he finally said, "Chenghui 7 Galleon, this is a discount for the first wand. If you come back for the second time, it won't be at this price!"
After handing the money to Ollivander, several people planned to leave.
But just before going out, Mo Fei saw Ollivander glance at him suspiciously, but maybe it was an illusion, just a fleeting glance.
He didn't care.
After buying the wand, the next step is to buy other school supplies.
"It's best to buy brand new books. As for other utensils, you can buy some second-hand ones. But the crucible..."
He seemed to want to say something, and as Potions Master, the crucible was as important to him as the wand itself.
But thinking about Mo Fei's situation, with only Hogwarts's funding, they seemed to have no more options.
"The most important thing about crucibles and gloves is that they are complete, not cheap. You must remember that a complete crucible and intact gloves are the most important means and protective measures on the way to learning Potions..."
Following Slughorn's suggestion, they bought a crucible that was not very good but complete enough and a pair of Dragonhide Gloves that was full of stains but intact enough from a second-hand stall.
These two items are not the cheapest, but out of trust in professionals, they spend their money without hesitation.
However, at the second-hand stall, they also bought some second-hand books, many of which were basic reading materials involving Muggle knowledge and a small amount of wizarding knowledge. The price was very cheap, and one Galleon could buy a large pack.
Slughorn simply read it out of responsibility, and then expressed his undisguised disgust.
"These things are just for bedtime reading. A lot of the magic knowledge in them has been eliminated long ago. If I have to say it, the things about Muggle in them are a bit similar to some things I knew in the past. There are some lost skills of Muggle in them..."
Hearing this, Mo Fei could hardly hide the surprise in his heart.
There is very little magic knowledge inside, but Muggle's skills...
This is exactly what Mo Fei needs most. However, in order not to arouse suspicion, he also whispered miserably, "Mr. Professor, in fact, I also plan to buy these books to give other children some simple science popularization. It is not magic, just treat it as a bedtime story, at least so that they can master certain knowledge..."
"Kyle will become a wizard in the future. We can't provide any help, but at least we can't be a burden to him... I think learning more things can at least help them find a good job in the future!"
This kind of calculation belonging to Muggle only caused a flash of disdain in the professor's eyes, but he finally relaxed.
"That's it. By the way, remember, don't let the children tell anyone about wizards and magic. This is the restriction of International Statute of Secrecy. Otherwise, there may be a memory cleansing in your orphanage, which would be bad!"
Mo Fei, who was originally very excited, felt like a basin of cold water was poured on him after hearing the professor's reminder.
Yes, International Statute of Secrecy.
Although because it is an orphanage, all the children know the existence of magic, but after all, this kind of thing will not be known to the public.
Once it is violated, and Ministry of Magic people come forward, there will be no chance.
Mo Fei nodded hurriedly, "I know, I will watch the children and not let them talk nonsense..."
After buying second-hand books, the rest of the trip went smoothly.
I bought brand new teaching materials with some flaws but much cheaper in Flourish and Blotts. In Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, I bought the necessary school uniforms and gowns...
There were also some episodes. When Kyle was buying a dress, he was touching the materials of some dresses and suddenly thought of some tailoring techniques that Mrs. Field taught them. He asked a few questions and made a few suggestions.
As a result, Madam Malkin was very interested and even suggested that Kyle come over every summer vacation for exchanges.
"There are not many children who are interested in this kind of skills now. They only care about whether the clothes they wear are good-looking enough, and never consider anything else. Little Kyle, I hope you can come up with more interesting suggestions..."
This favor allowed them to get quite a discount.
After finally buying all the things, Slughorn took them back to Leaky Cauldron.
Then he handed over a ticket, "This is the ticket to Hogwarts. The train leaves on the morning of September 1st. You need to go to King's Cross Station station and board the train... You will know the specific time when it comes, and I look forward to meeting you again at Hogwarts..."
After saying the last sentence, he couldn't wait to Apparition disappear.
Mo Fei and Kyle, who stayed where they were, looked at each other a little bit.
