Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic-Chapter 729: Mastering Core Switching Method — Wandmaker!!!

12 August, 1992

Diagon Alley

"Merlin’s beard! Marvelous! Exquisite! Exemplary!"

Mr. Ollivander looked at the wand crafted by Darcie Malfoy and praises spewed out from his old mouth like never before.

Diagon Alley was among the many Magical Places of High Importance that the Ministry of Magic had deemed worthy enough to protect day and night, along with the likes of Azkaban, Hogwarts, and the Ministry’s HQ etc.

Now, there were more Aurors here than both Azkaban and Hogwarts combined.

Children had become the prime focus of the ministry after learning that the dark wizards had decided to make the young generation their target in the 2nd Wizarding War.

With more and more wizards and witches dying and going missing, the ministry’s only hope was to lean on the prospect of young, graduating wizards.

They needed to prepare for the battles looming overhead.

Who knew when an all-out war would erupt?

So, wherever the students gathered these days, one was almost certain to spy Aurors, too.

"All the spell circles are right..." Ollivander mumbled, taking note of the process. "... the magical runes are right... Chanting was flawless, too.

"I must say, young lady. You’ve outdone yourself. If someone had told me that you would master the art of the Core Switching Method at the age of 12, then I would have cast a curse on him. Hah! But here you are..."

Darcie had indeed mastered the intricate art of Wandmaking’s easiest method—Core Switching.

In this, you switched the inside of a wand wood with a wand core and then carved the wood in a wand shape using various spell circles, magical runes, and enchantments.

It was the simplest method among the three methods of Wandmaking as taught to her by Ollivander.

The other two were Core Aging, mostly used by the old wandmaker and preferred by old wizard families, and Core Resurrecting, the most time-consuming, complex, and difficult of its kind.

Still, for Darcie to perfect her skills of wandmaking, even if it was centered around the Core Switching method, was a never-seen-before kind of feat in itself.

Or that’s what Ollivander kept mentioning to her.

Darcie, on the other hand, wasn’t happy.

"No matter how many more wands we have," she said, looking into the old man’s silvery eyes, "they won’t help us in the coming war, Ollivander."

Garrick Ollivander came out of his fanatical praising and sighed.

"Darcie, my dear," he said, holding the wand tightly, "hear me. Hear me well.

"It doesn’t matter if your efforts seem to be going to waste; It doesn’t matter if what the future holds seem uncertain; We, as Wandmakers, must take pride in our creations."

The corners of Darcie’s mouth arched up with a blush.

Garrick Ollivander... the greatest Wandmaker... finally acknowledged her... her as a Wandmaker...

"Alright," Ollivander said, getting up. "I will put the wand up for sale."

Darcie’s eyes lit up. "Really?"

She had crafted dozens of wands already.

But, other than Daphne’s wand, which she had only assisted Ollivander with, the old Wandmaker had never brought up the idea of putting them on sale.

"Haha! Well," Ollivander scratched his chin, chuckling, "this is as good as it gets. So, why not?"

Darcie saw the old wizard marching away with a jump in his steps.

She hopped onto a stool and hummed a tune to herself.

Suddenly, in the Ollivander’s workshop, a blue-black vortex opened up.

From the vortex, a white-haired man, wearing white clothes, walked out, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Uncle White!" Darcie shot back to her feet.

Kai managed to smile and frown at the same time. "Don’t call me that."

Black tendrils squirmed around Kai, and Venom materialized, taking the shape of his signature, spider-man-like fanged face.

"That—was—awesome!" Venom shouted. "Can you go anywhere?! Anywhere?!"

With Venom getting a constant supply of all the chemicals he needed to exist, using Kai’s Biokinesis, the Symbiote was having the best time of his life, traveling worlds.

"Where do you want to go?" Kai asked with amusement.

"In a timeline with Eddie Brock as my host..." Venom said, grinning. "I want to boast my powers to myself. Haha!"

Selene slipped out from Darcie, taking the form of three girls.

Venom suddenly went quiet.

The Three-Headed Devourer unnerved the Symbiote the most as it shared the host with this... creature.

The Time Devourer stepped forward, wearing a white hooded robe.

-Harry Potter got in trouble when he used the potion gifted by you, master,- The Time Devourer hissed, her yellow eye pulsating with calculated thoughts under the hood. -Ron, Fred, and George then came to free him from the locked room. It’s happening as per your plan.-

-This Gilderoy Lockhart repulses me, master,- The Space Devourer hissed, her gray eye shut. She was wearing a plain, white gown, her long white hair flowing like silk behind her. -Does he repulse you, too? Can I go and devour him for you?-

-That’s my job, bitch!- The Life Devourer snapped. She was wearing a white jacket, white shorts, and white sports shoes, her short white hair curling into mist at the end.

"Brats..." Venom quipped, grinning, not knowing the Devourer’s actual age.

The serpents went quiet before sharing whispers among themselves, and then the Life Devourer took her hands out of the pockets and gave Venom a finger.

Pop!

Suddenly, Venom’s head exploded in a mass of blackness.

Kai’s lips twitched. "Unlucky Gossip?"

All Selenes smirked.

"I WILL..." Venom roared.

Kai created a Room with certain rules for the two magical creatures. "Go, fight it out."

Ignoring the world-shaking booms and bangs, he looked into the distance. "They are already here. Lucius will plant the book in Ginny’s hands today."

Darcie looked in the same direction. "I am worried about Ginny."

"She’ll be alright."

"Uncle White..."

"... Don’t call me that... Yes?"

"Why do you keep going to The Lord of the Rings?"

Kai sighed, letting the AI respond for him. [My father disappeared like this from my mother’s life as well. If I don’t visit the Random World to check up on the happenings there from time to time, it can become a psychological issue for me.]

Darcie giggled. "Just say you miss Arwen."

Kai looked around, finding the matter pointless. "So... Wandmaker, huh?"

Darcie smirked, making a fist. "Who am I? The Princess of Diagon Alley!!!"

Kai rolled his eyes. "It’s crucial that you master the Core Resurrecting Method before..."

Boommmmmmmmmmm!!!

Venom landed near Kai, beaten blue and black.

There was a limit to which it could remain outside the host’s body.

From behind, the three Selenes walked toward it, their multi-colored eyes brimming with playfulness.

"Old bitches!" Venom spat.

Selene snapped.

"Alright."

"That’s enough."

The Symbiote looked behind and saw two men.

Kai was already looking at it. Now, Black walked over, wearing a black jacket and jeans over black shoes.

For a moment, the living abyss itself couldn’t tell the difference.

Just who is who?!! Fuck!!! Giving up, considering colors, it fused with Black’s body. By the time Venom reappeared as a head around Black, Kai had already disappeared.

Selene gave a last look at Venom and again fused with Darcie Malfoy.

Darcie hopped onto a stool. "I think I should go to Flourish and Blotts, too," she said. "All... friends? Eh, whatever. Daphne’s there. So that’s something. Right, Uncle Black?"

Black smiled and frowned at the same time. "Don’t call me that."

"Man..." Venom was gobsmacked. "You guys are nuts! But...

"... I like nuts!!!"
