Chapter 545 The Elder Wand

The wand was not born with the emergence of the first wizard. It was only with the emergence of the Ollivander family that wizards in the British wizarding world were able to use well-made wands. Before that, their wands were all crudely made.

To this day, there are still many African wizards who do not use magic wands, and magic wands have never been a necessity for wizards.

As her magic skills became more and more sophisticated, and her level of wandless spellcasting became higher and higher, Ada had some doubts about her wand.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her old friend, or that the wand in her hand was unnecessary, but that she wanted to know what the subtle connection between the wand and the wizard was.

For this reason, Ada also read some books related to the field of wands in her spare time, but these books failed to help her. Instead, they made Ada even more confused because everyone said their own things.

Leave professional things to professionals, so Ada thought of Ollivander. In the British wizarding world, no one knows wands better than Ollivander.

"The wand chooses the wizard, and the wizard also chooses the wand, but the relationship between the two is not eternal." Ollivander said, "There is a sentence that I don't like very much, but I can't find a refutation of it. The reason for this is that the wand is just a tool after all, a tool used by wizards to cast spells."

The wand assists the wizard in casting spells and is the wizard's best companion, but it is just a tool. All tools can be replaced.

There are such examples around Ada. Charlie once changed his wand, and Ron also changed his wand. Ron's first wand was a gift from Ada. The wand was made of willow. During the fight with the Whomping Willow, Ron's willow wand broke.

The same goes for Grindelwald. His wand has also been changed, and it is still the legendary invincible Elder Wand.

From this point of view, the wand is really just a tool, but when casting spells and getting along with each other in daily life, Ada can feel that the wand has feelings.

When she was at the family cemetery in Rosier, Ada had used someone else's wand. When she changed it back to her own wand, the yew wand was actually at odds with her, as if to say: You have a dog outside!

Ada also felt strong emotional waves from the yew wand when she killed Umbridge at Hogwarts. It was an exciting feeling, as if I had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"As a tool, shouldn't the wand have its own emotions, and shouldn't it violate the owner's orders and wishes?" Ada asked again.

"It stands to reason that this should be the case," Ollivander said, "but the reality is exactly the opposite."

Ollivander casually took a wand from the shelf and continued: "I believe that every wand has life and emotions, and it will choose a suitable object of allegiance for itself. For example, acacia wood, Only those who have its approval can use it; without its approval, a wand made of acacia wood is no better than a stick."

A stick can still be used to hit people, but a wand that cannot cast spells has no use other than poking people's eyes or poking their nostrils. Even when used to fiddle with firewood, it is too short.

"As for violating the owner's wishes and orders, such things have not never happened." Ollivander continued, "Take the wand with unicorn hair as the core as an example. This kind of wand has a problem when casting black magic. It may not perform as well as other wands, or it may not work at all. But this is usually a rare occurrence, and wands made of unicorn hair try to avoid this situation when choosing their owners.”

Ada was pacing in front of the high counter with her hands behind her back. Part of her doubts were answered very well, especially the contradictory characteristics of the wand. It is your most loyal partner, but it may also leave you after something. .

Just like the Elder Wand, after the current owner is defeated, the winner will be recognized by the Elder Wand and become its new owner.

"Mr. Ollivander, what are your thoughts on the legendary Elder Wand?" Ada asked. This was another doubt she had. After knowing that the Elder Wand was real, she wanted to know the evaluation of professionals. .

There was light in Ollivander's silver eyes, and he said: "The Elder Wand... That is a story that wandmakers are familiar with. There are many wandmakers who have spent their entire lives trying to make such a powerful wand..."

Just when Ollivander felt something and was about to tell his opinion about the Elder Wand, several loud noises were heard outside the shop. The bell in front of the door rang, and Hartman, who was also disguised, walked into the store.

"Miss, Florin Fusco's Cold Drink Shop was attacked by Death Eaters." Hartman told the reason for the loud noise.

"Delay their departure and buy time for the Auror's support." Ada said, "Also, pay attention to safety."

Hartman followed the order and left, but Ada did not leave the wand shop. Ada didn't know why the Death Eaters attacked Florin Fusco. It couldn't have been because they had eaten ice cream and didn't want to give him money.

"Sir, Mr. Ollivander?" Ada called Ollivander's name several times before the shocked Ollivander came back to his senses.

In broad daylight, Death Eaters openly appeared in Diagon Alley and launched attacks on shops here. This incident will increase the wizarding world's fear of Voldemort. Mr. Ollivander, who is also a Diagon Alley merchant, feels the same way.

"Mr. Ollivander, you haven't finished talking about the Elder Wand yet," Ada said.

"Oh...ok...that's right..." Ollivander was a little incoherent. He couldn't be as indifferent as Ada.

Ollivander continued: "I think Miss Drizzt would know Grigovitch. He is a very famous master wandmaker."

Ada nodded and said, "Of course, sir. I know Grigovitch and even knew that he briefly owned the Elder Wand."

"Yes, that is said to be true." Olivan continued, "But Grigovitch does not want to possess the Elder Wand, but wants to copy the Elder Wand through his own research and skills."

"A great idea," Ada marveled. "Needless to ask, Grigovitch failed."

Ollivander's expression was a little sad, as if he was a little sorry for Grigovitch's failure.

Ollivander said: "Yes, he failed. Gregorovitch used the same material as the Elder Wand. Perhaps the skill of making the Elder Wand has been lost, or there may be deviations in the selected materials. In short, Gregorovitch used the same material as the Elder Wand. Govich made a very poor wand."

Having said this, Ollivander put down the wand he was playing with, looked out the window, and said with infinite yearning in his eyes: "I really want to meet the senior who made the Elder Wand!"

In the story, the Elder Wand is an elder wand randomly cut off by Death, but in the eyes of many wandmakers, they prefer to believe that the "Death" is a great wand-making master.

Or that Antioch Peverell was a great master wandmaker.

"If, I mean if," Ada said, "if I get it from the owner of the Elder Wand through abnormal means, will it surrender to me and obey my orders?"

Ollivander looked back, his silver eyes fixed on Ada.

After a while, Ollivander said: "I'm afraid not. Based on all the rumors about the Elder Wand, if you want to get it, you must defeat its current owner."

Ada already had an answer to this question, but after hearing Ollivander's authoritative speech, she was still a little disappointed. The Deathly Hallows are extremely alluring things, and Ada is not immune to them.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Ollivander." Although Ada was a little disappointed, she did not lose her grace. Before opening the door and walking out, Ada felt that she should remind Ollivander.

"Mr. Ollivander, I think I'm not the only person in the wizarding world who is interested in you," she said. "That person probably won't be as polite as me."

Hearing this, Ollivander's body trembled.

A wandmaker is equivalent to an arms dealer in the wizarding world, not to mention a master like Garrick Ollivander. His importance goes without saying.
