Chapter 396 Magic Wand Detection

If not that Dumbledore was a bit irritating at times, how could he have forgotten about wand testing? He deliberately put it last!

In order not to let herself go too late and make everyone wait for her alone, Ada had to leave the tower in a hurry and rush to the wand testing classroom.

When Ada walked into the room, she only saw Fleur and Krum, and wondered where Harry had gone.

The classroom is not large, and most of the desks have been pushed to the back of the classroom, leaving a large open space in the middle. There were three desks placed side by side in front of the blackboard, covered with velvet, and Ludo Bagman was chatting with an old man. This old man was Ollivander, a professional staff maker.

The first thing I checked was Fleur Delacour's wand, which was nine and a half inches, very flexible, made of maple wood, and the core was a Veela hair. According to Fleur, this hair came from her grandmother.

Then came Viktor Krum, who stood listlessly in front of Ollivander with his shoulders slumped and his splayed posture. I don't know why, but Klum always looks like this every time I see him. Is he really nicknamed "Unhappy"?

Krum's wand comes from another equally famous wandmaker, Gregorovich. The wand is ten and a quarter inches long, the wand wood is hornbeam, and the wand core is the heart cord of a fire dragon.

Then came Ada, and Harry still didn't know where he was hiding. The length is ten and three-quarters of an inch, and it is flexible. The wand wood is made of yew, which has all kinds of terrible rumors, and the core of the wand is taken from the tail of a phoenix that Ollivander does not know.

"Miss Drizzt, you and your wand complement each other perfectly," Ollivander said. "Every time I see your name in the newspaper, I feel that I have found a very good owner for the wand."

In the summer of 1989, Ollivander showed Ada what it means to be professional and what it means to be a wizard in the sales world. The old man made Ada feel that she was the "son of destiny" and the one and only candidate.

In the summer of 1991, Ollivander once again showed Ada what professionalism meant. It turned out that not only Ada was the "Destined Child", but also Ron.

Although she didn't believe the old man's lies, Ada still said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander, your superb skills have helped me get out of a lot of trouble."

Business is mutually beneficial and everyone is happy. Ada was happy, Ollivander was happy, but there was always someone who was unhappy, and Harry was unhappy because Rita Skeeter had just interviewed him.

Rita Skeeter, wearing a magenta robe, returned to the classroom first, followed by a very unhappy Harry, whose face was stretched longer than a donkey's.

In front of Ollivander, Harry also took out his wand. Different from other people's careful maintenance, Harry's wand has large hand marks all over it and looks dirty.

Mr. Ollivander was testing the wand, and Rita Skeeter was not idle either. She pulled Fleur and Krum for interviews, and finally used her bright red paws to pull Ada into the small broom closet next to the classroom. .

In the small broom cubicle, Ada could clearly hear Rita Skeeter's breathing. Was she the same Harry and Klum who were interviewing Harry and Krum in this place just now? Why is the scene between Aunt Wei and Shota so strong?

"Oh, dear, I always hear my colleagues mention you." Rita Skeeter said exaggeratedly, "I have always wanted to interview you. I have always wanted to know why orphans from orphanages suffer from Deng. Why is it so important to Blido that it is related to the French family?"

Ada's brows immediately knitted together after hearing this. What she said was so incompetent. Rita Skeeter obviously didn't notice Ada's dissatisfaction and said to herself: "Don't worry, I am a self-disciplined professional writer and will not be like my shameful colleagues."

In mid-air, a long, dazzling green quill was writing crazily and automatically on a piece of parchment, which read -

"When I mentioned her life experience, the fragile girl burst into tears. The girl recalled the tragic past and opened her heart to the kind-hearted Rita Skeeter..."

Looking at the automatic quill that kept writing and the words on the parchment, Ada asked: "Do you call this self-discipline or profession?"

"Don't worry about it, let's talk about us, it's just a shorthand quill." Rita Skeeter said, "Then the first question, do you hate your parents who abandoned you?"

Before Ada answered the question, the automatic quill pen had already written several lines eloquently. This time it was: "Hearing the unfamiliar word "parents", the beautiful girl immediately became weak, her shoulders trembled constantly, the girl was in countless She can't help but cry every night, missing her cruel parents, even though she was ruthlessly abandoned by her parents when she was just born..."

"Don't be nervous and speak freely." Rita Skeeter said. I don't know if she was really stupid or pretending not to see. Ada's nose was almost crooked with anger. She was still here to let Ada speak freely!

Ada finally knew why Harry, Krum, and Fleur all had such terrible expressions after the interview. This Rita Skeeter was really off-putting.

"What's going on?" Rita Skeeter exclaimed. The automatic quill pen and parchment paper that had been writing frantically suddenly burned like two flames floating in mid-air.

"Although I have never met my parents, I know that those who lie and those who fabricate others will go to hell after death and have to swallow a thousand needles." Ada suddenly said, "Rita ·Skeeter, do you want to try swallowing a thousand needles in hell, or do you have no parenting?"

"You..." Rita Skeeter pointed at Ada angrily, as if she wanted to scold Ada.

But how could Ada give the other party this opportunity? Ada stood up and said, "Excuse me, my grandmother won't let me play with uneducated people." With that said, Ada kicked open the door to the broom closet and strode Went out.

After returning to the classroom, Ada found that Dumbledore, Ms. Maxim, Karkaroff, and Barty Crouch had also appeared in the classroom. The four of them plus Ludo Buckman, These five people are the referees and judges of this Triwizard Tournament.

Barty Crouch reiterated that the first project was to be carried out on November 24th, and the warriors only had their own wands. Then it was time to take pictures, a group photo of the four warriors.

Fortunately, only one of the four warriors, Viktor Krum, looks old, and the hair colors of the four are not the same. Otherwise, this group photo would be too much like a family portrait.

After the warriors took a group photo, Ludo Backman asked the referees to participate, which made the photographers busy because Ms. Maxim would block others no matter where she stood.

The classroom was too small, and even if the photographer attached it to the wall, he still couldn't fit Ms. Maxim into the lens. Finally Madame Maxime sat down while the others stood around her.

After taking the group photo, Rita Skeeter also came back. She adjusted her posture so that everyone in the classroom would not see her ugly appearance.

Everyone was just about to disperse and go to the auditorium downstairs to eat, but Rita Skeeter stopped everyone. She wanted to take some solo photos of the Warriors for her exclusive report.

It seems that the parchment Ada burned was not her only manuscript, the woman had a backup.

Harry, Fleur, and Krum stopped helplessly, waiting for the solo photo to be taken. Ada ignored Rita Skeeter at all and took her words as air. Ada walked away directly, leaving the other three contestants looking at each other.

While having dinner in the auditorium, Ada complained to the twins about Rita Skeeter. She had always heard about Rita Skeeter. Today she finally opened her eyes and saw such a disgusting reporter with mold.

The twins also advised her not to get to know such people, it was not worth it. Rita Skeeter's report is untrue, and she has been sensationalizing for more than a day or two. This woman is a complete clown, a clown like Lockhart.

In fact, Ada didn't take Rita Skeeter seriously, so she could just ignore this kind of person. But a few days later, Rita Skeeter's report on the Triwizard Tournament was published.

Ada didn't expect that besides Umbridge, there were actually people in the wizarding world who were toads, who didn't bite, but were quite capable of dealing with people.
