Chapter 2385 Invitation From Outside the Window
"The wand chooses the wizard" is a phrase that Garrick Ollivander, the famous British wand maker, often said, and he seems to do exactly that.
However, although there are few wandmakers in this world, he is not the only one.
Just like the old Mrs. Bylotti in South America, Taggat in Africa, and the old witch Anthom in Central Asia... Every wand maker has its own characteristics and reservations.
In the same way, I think of the first Muggle wand maker in history who was a Muggle stonemason and started with his wife from a small stone house. Sir, of course he also has a persistence that belongs only to him.
That is a word - "fate".
As a Muggle, living with many wizards in the wizarding world obviously requires a lot of "fate". And when he makes a wand, he needs the word "fate" to maintain it. After all, he can't even tell whether the wand he made can be used normally based on his own words.
Therefore, while relying on his extraordinary creativity and comprehension ability to match materials based on theory, he will try his best to create opportunities and accidents, so that the wand can try to find the master in its own destiny.
Yes, this sounds like it fits well with Mr. Ollivander's argument that "the wand chooses the wizard", but in fact, the two are completely different! Because for Stuart, the wand is still a dead thing after all, but he deliberately endowed the wand with the characteristics of actively approaching the wizard during the production process.
In other words, the wand made from Stuart has a higher affinity with wizards than other wands. As for whether the two are compatible... that's not necessarily the case. If you're lucky, you might get along very well. If you're unlucky, it will take a long time to get used to each other.
To be honest, it can be said that the wand made from Stuart has this characteristic, which can be said to be a good thing-because once the relationship between the wand and the wizard is established, it is difficult to be destroyed; but there is a very obvious disadvantage in it-when the wand When the maker of the wand stood with the wizard who claimed the wand, it suddenly became indecisive.
The wandmaker and his work are so inextricably linked that it is rare for a wand to come out of another maker's hands.
Fortunately, James Stewart was a Muggle, so... At least in the era in which he was active, this indistinguishable characteristic was not revealed by any accident.
As for after James died and the Stewart family gradually continued...
"Tut Tuk."
The window of the dormitory was tapped twice, causing little Tia's body in the bed to tremble violently.
Because it was very dark outside, Tia couldn't see clearly, but she had also vaguely seen a vague and mysterious figure outside the window at some point.
Tia didn't dare to move... she didn't even dare to close her eyes, because she was afraid that if she closed and opened her eyes, the figure would disappear out of thin air.
If that's the case, she doesn't have the confidence to continue to maintain the nerves that can't be tighter like this.
However, if she doesn't move, can she guarantee that the figure outside the window will not move?
That is of course unlikely.
Suddenly,
The window glass, covered with a thin layer of water vapor due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, just disappeared! The only barrier between Little Tia and that figure ceased to exist.
And the next moment, the three iron window frames were twisted silently in Little Tia's panicked sight.
Just a second before the nerve in Little Tia's head was about to snap, a small voice suddenly penetrated into her ears, saving her from bottomless panic——
"Don't be afraid, I'm...your parents' friend."
...
What would an orphan who lived in an orphanage when he was still a baby think about his biological parents? Others don't know, but at least in the heart of little Tia, who was about to be 11 years old, she didn't think too much about it.
For Tia at that time, the focus of life was still stored in the life of the church orphanage-just memorizing the scriptures that could not be finished every day, vigilance and dodging of bullies, and finding opportunities to hide in the corner to lick Licking her wounds was enough for her, she really didn't have more energy to focus on other things.
And in this gloomy daily life, a person who appeared in a terrible way suddenly told her that he was "a friend of your parents"...
"Yes... sorry, I don't have a father... Mom and Dad."
Little Tia, who has never learned how to express rejection clearly to others, will subconsciously answer according to the will of the other party even in the endless confusion. But unfortunately, even if it was an answer, she only knew how to apologize. After all, this has already become a nearly instinctive habit.
"No, uh... everyone has parents, it's just that you... lost them when you were very young."
The other party's explanation seemed a bit stiff - of course, Tia at the time definitely couldn't hear it. But even she didn't understand what the other party said, she was just using this excuse to try to convey her rejection to the other party.
So soon—
"...I don't know my parents, let alone...know Your Excellency, so...please let me go, sir."
Little Tia's words were a bit out of line, but the only thing she insisted on from the beginning to the end was that she still believed that the other party was definitely not a "good person".
The voice fell slightly, followed by a moment of silence. Little Tia, who was nervous, didn't realize that the conversation between herself and the other party in the dead of night actually didn't deliberately lower her voice, but it didn't alarm anyone.
After a while, the other party shook his head and said:
"Miss Prince, do you want to leave here and live in another place? You know, change to a place where no one bullies you, where the bedding and sheets are dry, where you can go to school and study normally with everyone. "
Taking little Tia away, this is obviously the real purpose of the other party coming here tonight. From the other party's point of view, it was really impossible for Tia to refuse such an invitation—her life couldn't be worse!
But he didn't expect that after being stunned, little Tia, who was curled up under the blanket, avoided the topic and murmured:
"Today...are you the one who drove Johnny and the others away?"
