"Good morning." A soft voice came from Tom's side, and an old man with bright eyes appeared beside them.

Professor McGonagall stood up and said to the old man, "Good morning, Ollivander, today I brought my students over to buy a wand."

"Oh, no problem, that's great," Ollivander nodded, then looked at Tom, then pulled out a circle of silver tape measure, he asked Tom's dominant hand, then his arm Then Ollivander also measured Tom's leg length, height, head circumference and other dimensions, which made Tom frown.

He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why do you need to measure so much data? I'm just here to buy a wand..."

"Because every Ollivander's wand is unique," Ollivander said proudly, "that's what our ancestors have done for generations, measuring their physical parameters before offering them wands. , and then select the wand according to the parameters."

"But I'm only eleven years old now. Will these parameters change in the future?" Tom was a little puzzled. "And after measuring these parameters, shouldn't you just give me a magic wand?"

Ollivander looked like a teacher who was asked interesting questions by students, with a happy look in his eyes.

"You are very right, the shape of a person will change, but I just need the data of a child before development. According to the ratio between these data, determine a range, and then select a wand for you within this range. ."

"That's it," Tom thoughtfully looked at the thousands of wand boxes in the room, and felt that he really should narrow the scope first.

While speaking, Ollivander finished measuring the data. He led Tom to the pile of wands, but before he could pick out a wand, a box trembled, and then the next moment, it flew out of the countless boxes and landed firmly in Tom's hand inside.

"Oh? A very rare phenomenon." Ollivander showed a surprised expression, which seemed to be rare. He took a closer look at the box, revealing a very complicated expression.

"It's this wand..." Ollivander seemed to fall into memory. After a while, he realized that there were still customers in the store.

"Sorry, gaffe. This wand is my father's last work. It's been here for decades, and no wizard has ever recognized it..." Ollivander looked extremely relieved, looking He was genuinely happy that the wand had an owner.

"Which core do you think is the most powerful core?" Ollivander asked the two of them, but he said to himself before Professor McGonagall answered: "Every wizard thinks thunder The tail feather of a bird is the most powerful wand core in the world, but it is not. The horn of the horned water snake is the most powerful wand core. The core of Isolt Thayer, the founder of Ilvermorny, is the horned water snake The horns of this wand can also sense Parseltongue and send an alarm to the master, which is extremely powerful."

Ollivander gently opened the box, and inside lay a very beautiful wand, with a slender body and a faint coiled protrusion on it, which looked like a snake coiled on it, and there was a handle at the end of the wand. Leave an empty hole.

This wand has a noble, strange, luxurious feel to it.

"Acacia horns, acacia wood, thirteen inches long, and if you can get the gems on the foreheads of the horned watersnakes, you can also set them in the shank, and the gems on their foreheads give the user the power of invisibility and flight. ability."

Tom was a little surprised, this wand actually has a Disillusionment Charm?

"Son, pick it up and try it." Ollivander handed the wand to Tom.

Tom took the wand and only felt the heat in his fingertips. There was a sense of excitement in his heart, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder around him.

"Very good, great!" Ollivander looked very happy, he put Tom's wand into a box and wrapped it in kraft paper.

"Come on, it's yours. It chose you!" Ollivander assembled the wand and handed it to Tom, who took out seven Galleons and bought the wand, and Ollivander bowed They were sent out of the store. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Tom glanced at his character column and found that there was one more item in the magic item column:

[Wand (Acacia wood, water snake horn, thirteen inches)

Star: Five-star

Fit: 96%]

Although a wand only cost seven Galleons, it still drained Tom's budget.

"Have you thought about how to repay the money?" Professor McGonagall asked curiously. She didn't know how to earn 20 Galleons for an eleven-year-old boy.

"The Gringotts I saw earlier should have Muggle currency and Galleon exchange business, right?" Tom glanced at the imposing tall building in the distance.

"Yes, but there are limits. Those goblins are very shrewd, some of them even got economics degrees in the Muggle world."

"Ha!" Tom was delighted when he heard this, he remembered a popular joke about economists.

One day, Prime Minister Harker wanted to ask two cabinet secretaries to discuss economic issues, but his secretary Bernard told him: Sir Humphrey does not understand economics, he is studying classics.

Huck: What about Frank?

Bernard: He doesn't even know that. He's an economist!

"Then I should be able to exchange more with gold, right? They are fairies!" Tom has long caught the loophole in this rule: gold is naturally currency, fairies will dislike sterling, but not gold.

"That's fine, but where do you get the gold?" Professor McGonagall felt that the child in front of him became more and more interesting.

"It's not difficult." Tom happened to know a good place to go, which was very suitable for him.

Professor McGonagall nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and disappeared after applying an apparition.
