0148 Right and Wrong

For a whole week, the boy in front of him tried all the wands in the store. Obviously, many wands fit him very well, but none of them could be used by Aini normally, which also puzzled Ollivander. .

That was the first time since he could remember that Ollivander's wand shop had left customers empty-handed due to its own reasons.

In particular, the boy was very sensible and cleaned and maintained every wand he tried, which made the old man feel even more sorry.

This is a person who really likes magic wands, but I can't get him a satisfactory partner.

He still remembered that day after Aini left, he curled up in the corner of the shelf, like a defeated rooster.

In fact, most of the time in a week is spent on maintaining the wand, even if it is just a simple cleaning and applying some wand oil.

However, after wiping the first magic wand, who let Aini discover that there is also little wool to squeeze...

On the contrary, by mistake, Mr. Ollivander's favorability was halved.

After the old gentleman saw Aini, his expression became vivid.

"Little Aini, hurry up... Well, it's a bit messy here, why don't you sit in the back."

Since then, occasionally the boy would come to ask some questions about alchemy, and Ollivander had a very good impression of him.

"Long time no see, Gaz." Aini greeted the old man cheerfully. Mr. Ollivander is a pure person, who suits his appetite very well.

"Don't bother, today I'm mainly here to customize a wand for Hermione."

"Oh, another little wizard who doesn't spare his wand."

After listening to Aini's answer, when Ollivander looked at Hermione, the expression on his face was a bit uncomfortable.

The wand is a treasure that wizards cannot give up, but occasionally some little wizards and wizards break their wands due to carelessness or insufficient attention.

It stands to reason that the buyer and the seller pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. After the wand is traded, it has nothing to do with the old man.

However, Ollivander has concentrated his whole life in this store. When he was a few years old, he practiced carving magic patterns in the back hall. Before he can be alone, the old craftsman likes to use the collection in the store to understand the ideas. With reason, by the way, give them a maintenance.

It can be said that every wand in the store is an acquaintance of his, either the handwriting of Ollivander's ancestors, or made by him.

For Ollivander, receiving a buyer is not like making a deal, but marrying a daughter.

He devoted almost his whole life to this ancestral craft, which made the old man only have the wand in his eyes and think about the wand in his heart, and almost all his emotions and sorrows were related to the wand.

As for what other people think, hehe, you have your sophistication, and I have my magic wand feelings, so let’s not interfere with each other.

I can't get used to it, okay, the door is open there, feet are growing on yourself, please leave mellowly!

Those who don't treat wands kindly don't get Ollivander's good looks.

No one wants to be stared at by a pair of silver-white eyes with almost no human emotion. Hermione is the same, and I am right.

"There is no problem with the wand, but the compatibility between the two has become lower after Hermione's magic power has grown, and they cannot continue to cooperate."

Seeing the girl's embarrassment, Aini quickly took over the conversation and told the old store manager the ins and outs.

"Little girl, I'm sorry." After listening, Ollivander solemnly saluted and apologized to the girl. This is also what Aini likes about the old man. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Make up for your own face.

But the girl was taken aback and hurried forward to help the old man up.

"It's okay, I...I..."

Hermione faltered a few times, and suddenly realized that she didn't know what to say, and felt that the other party really should apologize to herself, but when the old man really did this, she was a little at a loss.

"I was wrong in the first place, there is nothing to admit." Ollivander insisted on bowing, but the girl's little strength couldn't help him.

Aini just watched silently from the side without making a sound.

Wrong will not become right because of status, power, identity, or age. An apology is not only an expression of apology to others, but also self-salvation.

But there are always many people who turn a blind eye to "don't take it" and "do it", but think that I am so evil, why do you have to bite me to death? Is it really interesting?

What if the "evil is big"?

Then use the points mentioned before to suppress the "big" into "small"!

Once the injured person has objections, they will be called "evil children" instead.

When people get used to it, the apology that the old man should make actually flatters the little witch.

With such a small episode, the girl was no longer afraid of those serious big eyes, and handed the old man the materials she had exchanged from Sylvie.

"This... This is a natural magic wand, the legend is actually true..."

Then the stuttering person was replaced by Ollivander, holding the little stick spawned by Sylvie in both hands, like a pilgrimage.

"Can you tell me where it came from?"

Ollivander looked at the girl expectantly. He knew that his question was a little presumptuous, but the heart of making sticks that had been passed down by the family for many years was really not expressing.

"Sorry, Mr. Ollivander, this material was exchanged from someone else, and I don't know where it came from."

Hermione would not reveal her existence without Sylvie's permission.

Besides, the girl didn't lie, she really didn't know how that little sapling grew.

"Is that so... I took the liberty."

The old man who had already passed forty years naturally saw that the little witch was hiding something, but it was useless to see through it without revealing it, so it would be useless to ask Aini to help find out next time.

Ollivander didn't know that Hermione felt a little joy in keeping Ani's secret just now...

"This is a natural cypress stick, perfect, very perfect. This is the exclusive preparation of the brave. The masters they favor must be strong-willed fighters. They are not afraid of the darkness in their hearts. They are willing to sacrifice themselves for those who value them. .”

Halfway through the old man's speech, his passionate tone became deeper and deeper, and finally he let out a long sigh as if he was hurt by the scene.

Hermione just opened her mouth to say something, when Aini gestured to her, and the store fell silent for a moment.

Two or three minutes later, Ollivander seemed to wake up suddenly, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Sorry, it's easy to look at things and think about others when you get old."

"Gaz, how long will it take to finish?"

Before Hermione could speak, Aini asked immediately, so as not to lead the topic in a sentimental direction.

"At least two months."

Ollivander opened the bag of the main material again. Inside was a long fiber, a little thicker than hair. He had never seen the breath on it, but felt somewhat familiar.

"Then let's buy a wand as a spare."

After Aini finished speaking, Ollivander reluctantly put away the two materials, wishing he could close the shop now and plunge into the studio.

Seeing the obsessed look of the old man, the expression on Aini's face became more and more strange. If he guessed correctly, Ollivander might be busy in a while.
