Chapter 397 Choosing a Wand
"If you insist...well...take care of it..."
Xenophilius Lovegood eventually left alone.
The desolate back of this single father looked desolate as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. Although Xenophilius knew very well that sooner or later Luna would enter Hogwarts and start her own life—— But this day arrived a full year earlier than he imagined.
There is no doubt that Luna Lovegood would have been ineligible for admission this year.
In fact, Luna will not be considered an official student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry until the new school year starts next year. To be precise, her identity at this time should be called "the director of the Hogwarts office of "The Quibbler"" or "Elena Kaslana's exclusive personal assistant."
Therefore, according to common sense, Luna cannot obtain her own academic robe and her own wand for the time being.
However, because it is "common sense", there must be corresponding "special cases".
As we all know, once the first "special case" appears, it will be much easier for the next follower.
For Elena, the fact that she entered school at the age of ten is undoubtedly the most powerful evidence, so it is not difficult to get an "auditing permission" for Luna Lovegood.
House matters are also very easy to solve. As the first auditor at Hogwarts, Luna has been wearing the plain wizard robe of the unsorted house this year, and the course schedule is to follow Elena. That's it.
As for the accommodation issue, the Eagle Ring, which has almost become "Elena-shaped", naturally does not pose any obstacle to Luna.
It's just entry-level mathematics knowledge in elementary school. As long as you master some simple skills and methods, coupled with the brain power and wisdom inherited from the Lovegood family, the Ravenclaw common room is the best for Luna. choose.
As for the wand…
"Luna, choose a wand."
In the Hufflepuff common room, Elena pulled Luna to sit on the four-poster bed decorated with yellow and black velvet. She waved in front of her quite generously, her face filled with the legendary domineering temperament. .
Dozens of wands were lined up in front of Luna Lovegood - all "trophies" that Elena brought back from the distant Salzburg half a month ago. Of course, a large part of it was looted from Grindelwald.
"So many?!"
Looking at the row of wands in front of her, Luna's little mouth opened in an O shape in surprise. She had never thought that she could see so many wands in one person's hand. You must know that a new wand is not cheap in the wizarding world. .
If this situation were placed in the non-magical world, it would be roughly equivalent to a person carrying a dozen mobile phones - either a mobile phone dealer, or a rich man with nothing to do.
However, Luna briefly recalled the scene she saw in the underground vault, and it was not so incredible anymore.
"So, how should I choose a wand that suits me?" Luna asked curiously.
"It's very simple," Elena shrugged, recalling her experience at Ollivander's Wand Shop, and replied imitating the old craftsman's words, "Pick one up and wave it. If there is a reaction, that's it. It fits.”
A few minutes later, the batch of wands lay on the bed again - none of them showed any obvious reaction.
However, it turns out that Ollivander is a professional after all.
In the eyes of people like the Ollivander family who study wand knowledge, it is obvious that the wand chooses the wizard. The right wand combined with the right wizard can always produce surprising increases and magic.
At least most of the wands that the old wizard took out for the little guys to test would still have some effect. In other words, if we use the matching rate to describe it, then at least they are all qualified to excellent or above.
However, this does not mean that a person cannot use wands that have not been chosen for her.
In fact, as long as you are a qualified wizard, you should be able to use almost any tool to show your magic, just like the wizards in ancient times who used swords, broken branches, maces, shields, bones... to perform magic. They are the same.
However, according to the exploration of the modern magic world, the best effect of universal magic increase still comes from the close combination between the wizard and the wand - this is a complex and precise craft and connection, not just wood and magic. Stacking between biological tissues. This is like saying that a wand with a phoenix feather core is not necessarily stronger than a wand with a magic skin shrimp shell core.
Therefore, before Luna gets her own exclusive wand, it is not a big problem to choose a decent wand for a year. After all, it is not uncommon among the lower grades of Hogwarts to use other people's old wands.
The most obvious example is Neville and Ron. One uses his father's wand, and the other uses his brother's old wand. Although from the results, it does limit their magical strength, it does not affect their ability. They learn magic.
Elena tilted her head and thought for a moment, glanced at Little Loli Luna who was a little overwhelmed, and comforted her softly.
"The wand will echo the existence of the wizard. Many people even insist that the wand has feelings and will actively learn from the wizard, and the wizard will also learn something from the wand. Of course, that must be a match. This batch of wands is estimated to It’s not particularly suitable for you—but I’ll just use it for the time being, so there’s no big problem.”
"Then I will choose..."
Luna nodded, without hesitating for too long, and carefully looked at the wands on the bed. When she was about to pick up a yellow pear wood wand that looked more pleasing to the eye, her fingers suddenly stopped in mid-air. Curiously, he pointed at the two long black dicks placed next to Elena's pillow.
"Hey, what are those two? Are they also optional?"
It has to be said that compared to the pile of wands covered with tiny finger marks and scratches, the two wands placed beside Elena look obviously much more delicate, both in shape and luster. A unique feeling.
"Oh? That's what you said. These are my... um, wands."
Elena followed Luna's gaze, lowered her head and looked at her black walnut chopsticks, narrowed her eyes happily, the little hair on her head jumped with pride, and continued proudly.
"My pair of wands are different from other coquettish bitches. No one can use them except me. If you don't believe me, you can just try them. As long as a spark comes out, I will give it to you."
You know, even a master of spells like Gellert Grindelwald cannot control this pair of exclusive wands that use Elena's hair as the core of the wand. The willfulness of the hybrid Veela makes this wand automatically have an anti-theft function.
According to the evaluation of the first generation Dark Lord, these wands were not even as effective as a broken branch in the hands of other wizards.
"Is it so magical?"
Luna blinked her eyes in understanding, stretched out her fingers and tapped Elena's wands curiously...
The next moment, a ball of white halo surged out directly from the tip of the wand, shrouding the four-poster bed where the two of them were in a layer of soft light, but it disappeared quickly only for a moment.
"Well……"
(⊙o⊙)…
Luna turned her head and glanced at Elena helplessly.
Although Elena didn't understand a lot of the theories about wand science that she had before, but at least one thing was clear, that is, when she touched other wands, there was no similar phenomenon. Strange magical phenomena.
"..."
Compared to Luna, who was temporarily confused, Elena's inner state at this time was not much better.
Could this be understood to mean that the wand, whose hair served as the core, rebelled in front of her? !
