MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 7 Wands you can't buy
Auston stepped forward and shook hands with Ollivander.
Mr. Ollivander's silver pupils stared at Auston, his face almost touching Auston's. Auston pretended to be calm, and his heart was already beating drums. Could it be that Mr. Ollivander saw something.
Mr. Brown, who was holding his wife's waist, also held his breath. Mrs. Brown felt her husband's nervousness and patted his hand lightly. The two smiled at each other, and Mr. Brown relaxed a lot.
After a long time, Mr. Ollivander looked back and apologized to Auston.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brown Jr. I think I saw something. I hope it's my delusion. Let's take your measurements."
Auston raised his heart that he had put down. He was afraid that his past experience would be known to others. A human being from another world might not be popular here either. Maybe there will be a relationship between someone with a heart and black magic.
With a wave of Ollivander's hand, the same ruler came over to measure Auston's measurements, shoulder to fingertips, wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally head circumference.
Mr. Ollivander waved again, and the ruler automatically returned to his hand. He looked at the ruler and thought for a long time.
Afterwards, he walked to the shelf where the wand was placed, picked up a box on the shelf, opened it, exposed the tip of the wand inside, shook his head, and put the wand back. He took out the wand in another box and looked at it, and put it back. Look at sixteen or seven wands like this.
Every time he changed one, Auston's heart skipped a beat. After taking more than thirty wands in a row, Ollivander finally stopped taking new wands. He returned to them with an embarrassed expression. He opened his mouth to say something, but still didn't say it. He asked Professor McGonagall. He waved, motioning for her to come over. The two went to a corner not far away and whispered something.
Seeing this, Auston's heart beat again, and the Browns were all nervous, looking forward to the two in the corner.
Suddenly, Professor McGonagall's voice was an octave higher
"What, you said Mr. Brown was a Squib!"
Auston's heart jumped up, and it seemed that Ollivander knew about things that had no magic power. Hermione on the side was still puzzled, and Mr. Brown quietly clenched Mrs. Brown's hand, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
"Impossible, there is absolutely no mistake in the Hogwarts quill pen, you must have read it wrong." Professor McGonagall retorted with disbelief.
Ollivander also said with an embarrassed expression.
"But... I don't have Mr. Brown's wand here."
This sounded like a thunderclap in Mr. Brown's ears. Back then, he didn't believe he was a Squib and heard the same thing when he secretly came to Mr. Ollivander's wand shop to buy a wand. Now this sentence hits his heart like a spell.
Professor McGonagall still didn't believe that Hogwarts could go wrong, and also called for Ollivander to take out every wand in the store for Alston to try.
In the face of the powerful Professor McGonagall, Ollivander had already started to stutter, and letting him explain Professor McGonagall would be unrelenting.
Auston's face was red and white. Maybe he should not have listened to the letter in the first place. He has never seen a wizard without a wand who can be called a wizard, even as powerful as Voldemort, before the decisive battle. Find a way to get a good wand. And Ollivander's words seemed to have sentenced him to death.
After a long stalemate, he stood up and said to Professor McGonagall
"Professor, thank you, I think it's really the quill that made a mistake. I have no magic since I was a child, and my family knows about it. I received a letter from Hogwarts by accident. I don't want to complain, but please allow me to drop out now, I don't think there's anything wrong with living like a normal Muggle."
Before Professor McGonagall could say anything, Mr. Brown trembled and hugged his son.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Os, Dad shouldn't put so much pressure on you and make you so embarrassed. My dear, let's go home together after buying something for my sister. Dad supports you to go to ordinary school, you don't have to do it for mine Regret and forced myself." Mr. Brown said finally, his voice gradually choked up.
Professor McGonagall walked up to the hugging father and son, her face full of sympathy, she said to Mr. Brown
"Mr Brown, I'm very sorry for what happened to you in the past, but please believe that the name of your son, Mr Alston Brown, is indeed on the Hogwarts freshman roster, and I do not accept any Doubt. As for the lack of a wand, I will write to Mr. Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, with an owl later, and please believe that there is no problem that he cannot solve."
Then she glanced at Hermione, who was still confused, and the Grangers, who looked puzzled, and said to Mr. Brown.
"Now, please move to the Leaky Cauldron and wait for a while. After I and Miss Granger have bought the wand, I will go there to meet you."
Mr. Brown let go of the hand that held his son tightly, and Professor McGonagall's words made him see the light again.
He stood up, shook hands with Professor McGonagall, thanked Mrs. Brown, counted seven Galleons from the money bag and gave them to Mr. Ollivander, then took the family out of Ollivander's wand shop. .
Along the way, UU read www. uukanshu. No one in the family said anything, and Sissi lost the joy of buying the wand just now. She took Auston's hand gently and kept looking up at him, and she could see that she felt sorry for her brother.
Auston, who felt her sympathetic gaze, pulled out a difficult smile and said to her.
"Be happy, Sissi, we'll go buy an owl after lunch. I must pick the most beautiful owl for you."
Qian Qian also nodded in agreement, but there was no trace of joy on her face.
After being silent for a long time, as if she had made a decision, she said to Auston.
"Os, if you can't get into Hogwarts, then I'm not going either, anyway, don't you always say that the Dark Lord will come back sooner or later, don't you want me to go to Hogwarts. If you can't be a wizard , let's be muggles together."
Auston didn't expect Sissy to think like this. It is impossible not to be moved. He held back the tears in his eyes, rubbed Sissi's golden head with a smile and retorted.
"Who came to harass me every day before going to bed, who waited for the owl every day, and said he didn't want to go to Hogwarts?"
Sissi's face flushed slightly, and she swept away Auston's hand.
"I was young then, who didn't have two embarrassing things when they were young, and now I'm eleven years old! Besides, didn't you always tell your parents how dangerous Hogwarts is, we don't go there Isn't the ghost school away from danger?"
Auston sighed, he stopped, supported Sissi's shoulders, lowered his head slightly, looked at his sister who was half a head shorter than him and said firmly.
"Sissi, my sister, do whatever you want to do, no matter if I'm a wizard, a Squib, or a Muggle, I will definitely protect your safety, even if it costs my life! "
