Chapter 474 Detection Wand
"Dumbledore!" Rita Skeeter looked delighted after seeing Dumbledore.
"How are you?" she said, walking up to Dumbledore and stretching out a chubby hand with red nail polish, "I wonder if you have read my summer article about the International Federation of Wizards Conference. Are you done yet?”
"That was wonderful," Dumbledore smiled warmly, but did not shake Skeeter's hand. "I especially loved reading the part where you described me as a rigid old madman."
Rita Skeeter didn't show any shame at all, and seemed to really think that Dumbledore was complimenting her.
"Meow hahaha!" Fish suddenly interjected at this time: "George and Fred also said that Albus, you are a little crazy."
(ΦωΦ)
"Oh, those two little guys," Dumbledore smiled, "the two of them always have amazing ideas... and courage."
I don't know why, but even though Dumbledore's tone was so gentle and even pleasant, Harry always felt that something was going to happen to the twins.
"Okay, the wand testing ceremony is about to begin. Please go over there and sit down."
Dumbledore did not continue chatting with Fish. He pointed to a row of seats by the door and said to the four warriors.
The four warriors followed Dumbledore's instructions and sat on the seats next to the door, and Dumbledore also sat with the other four referees.
Rita Skeeter looked around, found a corner to sit down, and took out a roll of parchment and a long, dazzling green quill from her crocodile leather handbag.
Harry watched as she put the tip of the quill into her mouth, sucked it deliciously for a while, and then stood the pen upright on the parchment.
"Please allow me to introduce Mr. Ollivander." Dumbledore said to the warriors after sitting down on the referee's bench: "He will check your wands to make sure they are in good condition before the game."
"Long time no see, meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
Fish waved to Mr. Ollivander carelessly, and Mr. Ollivander smiled and nodded to Cat.
"Miss Delacour, you come first, okay?" Mr. Ollivander said, walking to the open space in the center of the room.
Fleur stepped forward and handed him her wand.
"Not bad," Mr. Ollivander said softly after careful inspection: "Nine and a half inches...very elastic...made of maple...contains...oh, my God..."
"Contains a Veela hair," Fleur said. "It's my grandma's hair."
"Meow?!"
(ΦωΦ)
Fish's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked Mr. Ollivander loudly: "Fish can also use his own hair to make a wand?"
"Hmm... Using the wizard's own body tissue to make the core of the wand was popular for a while many years ago. However, later everyone found that although the wand made in this way was more handy, the increase in spells would not be too high, so gradually No one in the world does this, but I think that if a wizard has relatively strong magic power, he might be able to make a better wand. Of course, my favorite wand core is..."
As soon as Mr. Ollivander talked about wand making, he immediately became eloquent, causing Dumbledore to cough twice and remind him to get down to business first.
"Sorry, sorry," Mr. Ollivander sneered and patted his forehead, "Where did I just say? Oh, yes! Veela hair... I have never used Veela hair myself. I I feel that a wand made of Veela hair is too sensitive and willful... However, everyone has their own preferences, and since it suits you..."
He ran his fingers over the wand, checked it for scratches and bruises, and muttered in a low voice: "The orchids are in bloom!"
A bouquet of flowers blooms on the head of the wand.
"Very good, very good, in good condition." Mr. Ollivander said, gathering the flowers and handing them to Fleur along with the wand.
He then examined Krum's wand and recognized it as the work of his eponymous Grigovitch, so Ollivander could not help but mutter: "He is an excellent wandmaker. Man, although I am not very fond of his style...but..."
The key points were muffled by Mr. Ollivander, and even the sharp-eared cat couldn't hear it clearly.
After returning the inspected wand to Krum, Mr. Ollivander's silver-white eyes looked at Fish.
"It's your turn," he said softly, "Fish."
Fish stood up, jumped in front of Mr. Ollivander, and handed over his wand. The first thing he did when he took the wand was to carefully look at it for bite marks.
After confirming that Fish had not used his wand to grind his teeth, Mr. Ollivander breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I clearly remember that this was one of my early works." He was much more excited than before, "The core of the wand is made of ocelot hair, and I used a whole bird and snake egg shell to make it from a Obtained from the Cherokees."
Mr. Ollivander rambled on about the time when Fish had purchased the wand: "Twelve inches, grapevine! Yes, a grapevine wand is more sensitive to the wand's owner than any wand made of wood. , they will release magical effects when they meet the right owner, and the magical effect you produced at that time was the most magnificent of the three times I have seen it!"
After he spoke a lot of excited words, he calmed down a little, then he raised Fish's wand again and put it in front of his nose. After a while, he said with a slightly complaining tone: "But you seem to use it rarely?"
"Because Fish's claws are more powerful, meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
Mao Mao raised his hands and answered confidently.
Mr. Ollivander smacked his lips and said nothing more. He pointed Fish's wand at the open window and whispered: "Flocks of birds!"
The grapewood wand made a loud bang, like a pistol firing, and a group of birds flapped their wings and flew out of the wand head, and flew into the faint sunlight from the open window.
Mao Mao curled his lips secretly. Ollivander's flock of birds was far inferior to Professor McGonagall's.
"And the last one... Mr. Potter." After Mr. Ollivander returned the wand to Fish, he finally called Harry's name.
"Ah, yes," Ollivander said after taking Harry's wand, using a similar opening as Phish. "Yes, yes, yes. I remember it clearly... Holly, eleven inches long, Phoenix tail feathers..."
Mr. Ollivander muttered as he carefully examined Harry's wand.
For some reason, this time he took much longer than the others. Finally, he let a stream of wine spray from the wand head, then handed the wand back to Harry and announced that it was in very good condition.
After checking the wands, Ludo Bagman and Rita Skeeter suggested taking a photo of the warriors.
So the four warriors and the five judges took a group photo together. Phish naturally stood in the middle, and Harry was forced by Skeeter to be next to Phish. Then, she insisted on taking individual photos of the warriors one by one.
Fish, whose stomach was growling with hunger, had long lost his patience. After reluctantly taking his personal photo, Maomao rushed out of the room and ran to the auditorium for dinner, regardless of Rita Skeeter's request to stay.
Rita Skeeter had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Her chubby fingers were like iron pliers, tightly holding Harry, who was also hungry, and forcing him to stay for her interview.
