Chapter 363 Wand Testing, Don’t Want to Be in the Newspaper

"Twelve inches, yew and dragon nerves." Ollivander said with emotion, and then waved his wand, a flame was released from it, and turned into a dazzling firework in the air.

"Well...it seems to have fallen from a high place."

"There was such a time, but it was really an accident." Aaron said embarrassedly. He was forced to free fall during his first trip to another world last year. He couldn't control this force majeure.

"Really?" Ollivander frowned slightly, his silver eyes staring at Aaron, "Maybe I shouldn't ask, but your wand seems to have been through a lot of wind and rain."

"Uh... that was an accident, it's not convenient to tell you."

Olivander smiled playfully, and tactfully didn't ask any more questions, but just returned the wand to him, "The wand is fine, although it's a little vicissitudes, but it's in good condition.

Where's the other wand? I remember I gave you a wand made of vine wood and unicorn feathers?"

"Ah this..." Aaron felt a little embarrassed for a moment, he left that wand to the thought body, he couldn't let him go back to the Shenming Temple to get it now!

"Ahem!" Adrian coughed, "It's enough that this wand is fine, he can only bring one wand during the competition."

"Okay!" Ollivander nodded gently, then looked at Fleur, "Miss Delacour, it's your turn."

Fleur was stunned for a moment, walked lightly to the front of the stage, and handed over her wand.

"Nine and a half inches, made of maple wood, inside... my god!"

"There's a strand of Veela hair, from my grandmother," Fleur explained.

"Yes, Veela hair.

Although I've never used Veela hair myself, it's too sensitive and willful.

But everyone has their own preferences, and it obviously suits you."

Olivander ran his thumb over the wand, confirming that there was no damage, and whispered: "Orchid blooms."

A flower bloomed at the tip of the wand, and he handed the wand back with satisfaction, "Very good, in very good condition."

Next was Cedric Diggory, who bought his wand at Ollivander's Wand Shop.

Made of ash wood, the wand core is unicorn tail hair, twelve and a quarter inches long.

"Excellent condition, must be regularly cared for." Ollivander did not hesitate to praise himself, and he admired this wizard who treated his wand well.

"Just wiped it last night." Cedric grinned.

Ollivander used his wand to create a string of silvery white smoke rings, and after a simple test of its performance, he returned the wand to Cedric.

"Mr. Krum, it's your turn."

Viktor still had a gloomy face, and he put the wand in front of Ollivander listlessly.

"Hornbeam, dragon's heart tendon, ten and a quarter inches.

This is Gregorovitch's product. Although his style is different from mine, I can see that you use it very well, and it suits you very well."

Krum nodded, without denying.

"Flocks of birds."

A flock of birds flew out from the tip of the wand and flew out of the window.

"Very good." Ollivander returned the wand to Krum, "The last one is Mr. Potter."

Harry stood up, brushed past Krum, and nervously handed over his wand.

Ollivander spent more time examining this wand than the previous four people combined, because it was special. The phoenix feather in the wand core came from the same phoenix as Voldemort's wand, which could be regarded as the same origin.

He shot a stream of wine with the wand, and after confirming that the performance was fine, he returned it to Harry and announced that it was in very good condition.

"Okay, now you can go back to class." Dumbledore smiled, "Of course, there is no problem going directly to eat, anyway, the get out of class will be over soon."

"Dumbledore, don't forget to take pictures." Skeeter reminded.

"Yes, a group photo of the referee and the warriors." Bagman said excitedly, "What do you think, Rita?"

"I don't want to be in the newspaper." Adrian said disdainfully, and then pulled Ollivander away.

"This referee... has a unique personality." Rita Skeeter looked at Adrian's departing back, a gleam in her eyes, "I personally think that with Miss Klein's age and stunning appearance, the newspaper will definitely be a big hit."

"You'd better put away your unrealistic ideas." Aaron said half-jokingly, "The Magic Council and the International Magical Federation should give Klein some face.

If there is any news that shouldn't appear in the Daily Prophet, then this newspaper may not be far from bankruptcy."

"Don't scare people, Mr. Gaius."

Aaron shrugged, "If you don't believe it, you can try."

Hearing this, Rita Skeeter pursed her lips unwillingly.

She has insulted many people in the newspaper, including Dumbledore and Fudge.

Because she knows that these people's personalities, abilities and status will not take her, a small reporter, to heart, at most they will curse a few words in secret and complain.

But she dared not write about some people. If what Aaron said was true, Adrian could make her unemployed in a minute. She could not afford to offend such people.

"It is not impossible to take pictures even if one referee is missing." Rita Skeeter said a little unnaturally, and then asked the photographer to take his place.

Because the room was small and there was a giant in the referee, it took the photographer more than 20 minutes to fit the five warriors and five referees into the lens.

Aaron decisively moved his body back a little when the photographer pressed the shutter.

He stood next to Maxim, using her more than three-meter-tall body and part of the shadow to block most of his body, only revealing a small part of his side face, which made him not too conspicuous in the photo.

But Krum seemed to have made the same decision, which surprised him.

Are you mistaken? You are a big star, but you hide it more tightly than me.

The most conspicuous one is Harry Potter. The C position was originally arranged by the photographer to be Fleur, but Rita Skeeter insisted on pulling him to the most prominent position.

After taking the group photo, Rita Skeeter insisted on taking individual photos of the warriors.

After several referees left, she looked at the five warriors with a smile on her face, "Little-known news! Who will take the first photo?"

"Well, I have something else..."

"Wait, Mr. Gaius, the magic world needs to know who the five warriors are."

"It's enough to leave my name. If it doesn't work, I can only refuse the magic world once." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly and slammed the door.

Rita Skeeter looked at the remaining four people helplessly, "It seems that this warrior is shy, but it doesn't matter. Many people are shy before being interviewed by me."

"That..." Harry raised his hand weakly, "Adrian Crane is his cousin."

Rita Skeeter:......

Okay! Another one who can't be offended.

......

After dinner, Aaron went back to the dormitory without stopping.

"System, buy the ghost crystal."

"Purchase successful."

One hundred magic points were reset to zero, and an irregular crystal flashing with a faint golden light was held in Aaron's hand.

"This is much more valuable than mithril." Aaron said with some toothache, and then took Abe into the Shenming Temple.

The thought body looked at the ghost crystal that was only the size of an egg and couldn't help smacking his lips, "This is too little! I thought it would be the size of a basketball!"

"This can only prove that it is more valuable.

In the case of the same volume, its value is more than ten times that of mithril."

"After all, it is a natural medium for transmitting magic power!" The thought body carefully took the ghost crystal and asked the two black shadow ninjas to cut off one tenth more carefully.

"With the help of thunderbird tail feathers, only three bullets can be made."

"I understand, they will be gone after they are used up, I will save them." Aaron waved his hand and said, then he seemed to think of something, "I bought the feathers of magical animals from Hagrid..."

"I have already made a batch, although the power is relatively weak." The thought body said proudly, and then took a box from the storage shelf. After opening it, there were thumb-sized spherical projectiles of various colors.

"That's all?"

"Twenty rounds are not enough? You definitely won't be able to use so many when it comes to the competition."

"That's what you say, but isn't this a little inefficient?"

"Enchanting is also a physical job!" The thought body rolled his eyes speechlessly. He is usually busy enough. Making a few bullets a day is the limit. If he makes more, he will really become a donkey pulling a mill.

Aaron couldn't continue to blame himself. After asking the thought body to use the ghost crystal carefully, he left the Shenming Temple.

......

A few days later, Rita Skeeter published an article in the Daily Prophet, with Harry Potter's photo occupying a large amount of space.

When Aaron read the newspaper in the library, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Rita Skeeter wrote a lot of unrealistic and disgusting words in the newspaper, portraying Harry as a child with a fragile heart who seeks comfort in various ways...

"What did you write?" Hermione suddenly came over, and Harry followed her.

"Nothing." Aaron hurriedly stuffed the newspaper into Abe's pocket.

"I saw Harry's photo." Hermione raised her eyebrows and said, "The front page headline of the Daily Prophet."

"What?" Harry was shocked and immediately looked at Aaron, "Give me the newspaper."

"Personal advice, it's better to die late than early."

"Give it to me."

Aaron sighed and took out the newspaper.

He looked at the two of them seriously, "Be prepared, and this is a library, don't make loud noises."

"Loud noises." Hermione laughed sarcastically, "You may not have noticed that since Krum came, everywhere he goes becomes a mess, including the library."

"That's the celebrity effect."

Harry took the newspaper, his green eyes moving left and right, reading it quickly.

Half a minute later, he angrily slammed the table and cursed: "Nonsense, nonsense, fabrication, there is no moral bottom line at all."

"Ahem!" At this time, Madam Pince coughed and cast a sharp look. Harry immediately became honest and sat opposite Aaron dejectedly and angrily.
