Chapter 44 The Magic Wand
"Wow, is this the legendary wizarding world? It's amazing." On the agreed day, Jeref took the Grangers and Hermione to Diagon Alley, a commercial street famous in the wizarding world.

Originally, Jeff's plan was to use Floo powder directly, but thinking that the Grangers do not have magical powers in their bodies, it would be bad if the Grangers made any mistakes during the use, even if they are the best in the wizarding world. Not everyone in the bustling neighborhood is kind to Muggles.

So Jeff decided to take them through the main entrance of Diagon Alley, which is the backyard of the pub that Old Tom opened called "The Leaky Cauldron".

Everything in Diagon Alley is full of novelties for Mr. Granger who has always lived in Muggle society.Just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything is fresh, she looks like a child.

On the contrary, Mrs. Granger is very reserved, although she is also full of curiosity about this novel world.

By the way, in Old Tom's tavern, Jeff and others did not meet the legendary savior-Harry Potter.

After all, the time of the two did not match. Harry was taken to Diagon Alley by Hagrid not long after he received the admission letter to buy those things. Jeff deliberately missed the time.

He didn't really want to touch Harry Potter if it wasn't necessary, and things would become very troublesome with this guy.And you'll succeed in getting Dumbledore's attention.

Although Jeff doesn't really believe in Dumbledore's conspiracy theory, but after being noticed by this old man, nothing good will happen.

"First of all, go to Gringotts to exchange some Galleons. After all, you can't spend money in the wizarding world without the coins of this world." Jeff explained to the Grangers and took them to the highest place in Diagon Alley. The tower moves forward.

Although in terms of Jeref's financial resources, it would be no problem to cover all the expenses of Hermione's family.

But...if it's just Hermione.

"Come in, stranger, but beware of the consequences of greed."

Gringotts' iconic catchphrase.

Although Gringotts was stolen, it was captured by Voldemort. After all, he is one of the safest banks in the wizarding world.

"Dear Mr. Heinfeldt, what service do you need? Please follow me to the VIP room, where there are dedicated waiters to serve you." Don't think that goblins don't know what service quality is, their bad attitude is just for and the poor.For their main customers, the attitude is simply not too good.

Gold coins are above all else, after all, this is the purpose of the goblins.

By the way, the purpose of those goblins in the Goblin Rebellion in 1612 was to try to take all the Galleons from the wizards.Thus enslaving the wizard, um, it's terrifying to think about it.

"I'll come to Gringotts to get some Galleons, and I will accompany this gentleman to exchange some Galleons for British Pounds. Make arrangements for me." Jeff said unceremoniously, the more polite you are to these fairies On the contrary, there is no benefit.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

It is really convenient for rich people to do business. Even though there are people coming and going in Gringotts, Jeref and others in the VIP room quickly finished their business.

"Jerph, I found a problem." After coming out of Gringotts, Mr. Granger weighed the Galleon in his hand and said to Jeff.

"5 pounds = 1 Galleon. This Galleon is real gold, but it's actually the price of England's gold"

Hearing Mr. Granger's question, Jeff not only lost face.

At that time, he also thought that the Galleon was made of real gold, but in fact, he could earn a little money by selling the Galleon after exchanging it according to the gold price in England. But in fact, this idea only needs to be cut open. After Galleon you will understand.

Although Jin Jialong is real gold, it is hollow in the middle.The reason why there is not much difference in weight is also because of the magic.

As for the exchange rate between Galleon and British Pound, it was also carefully set by the goblins.

Some people also tried to adjust the exchange rate of England's gold price to try to make the wizards' economy collapse and fall into financial crisis.

Then the wizard suffered a wave of blood loss after doing this. He almost went bankrupt.

Because this idea is impossible to realize, these goblins are always guarding the so-called exchange rate issue.In fact, based on the exchange rate between Galleons and British Pounds, these goblins still have some surplus after buying real gold with British Pounds and making it into Galleons.

Otherwise, do you think that Gringotts is really a charity that doesn't charge any handling fees?
The goblins value gold coins even more than their lives.

After listening to Jeff's explanation, Mr. Granger couldn't help but lament that the magical creatures in the wizarding world are not much less intelligent than humans.

It's a pity that Mr. Granger has never seen a house-elf, otherwise he would have been feeling a lot of emotion.

After all, Mr. von Heinfeldt was inherited from an ancient family, so he would not choose such unreliable magical creatures as house elves.

After exchanging Gold Galleons, it's time to buy those Hogwarts living utensils.

To buy wizard robes, you must go to "Mrs. Malkin's Robe Shop", which is a clothing store that specializes in making robes for Hogwarts students.

Although the style is not very good-looking, but the quality is quite good.

The next step is to go to Lihen's bookstore to buy the books needed for studying, but there is a small problem here.

Hermione bought too many books.
Although the Jeff family has a large collection of books, there are almost no books on the history of the wizarding world.

Either spells or potions, or transfiguration spells and other magic and theory departments, and even books on boxing can be found in Jeff's house.

But about the origin of wizards, the history of the wizarding world, and the development of the wizarding world.

There are no such books at all.

So once here, Hermione couldn't hold back when she found so many books she hadn't read.

"Are you going to read all of these before school starts?" Jeff felt a headache looking at the pile of books that were half the height of Hermione's body.

For Jeff, who is a pragmatist, it is enough to have a general understanding of the history of the wizarding world, and it is useful to learn such a detailed history.

Could it be that when you are fighting, you can still give others questions and fail the test?
A few people passed by a pet shop specializing in owl messengers, but they left without stopping.

As far as owls were concerned, neither Hermione nor Jeff had any interest in keeping one.

The method of delivering messages doesn't have to be owls.

"Only one last requisite left." The pair had wands left to buy, and there was only one place to go for an English wizard to buy a good wand.

"Ollivander, finely crafted wands since 380 BC"

Although for Jeff, it is not impossible to cast spells without a stick.And rather than foolishly wielding a short stick, Jeref prefers to cast spells with other magic props.

For example, taking out a magic book and casting spells, doesn't it feel that it is much more advanced?Or hold a jewel?
Don't forget, Gregorovich, another master wand maker who is as famous as Ollivander, is on the German side of Jeff's ancestral home.

And the master wandmaker isn't limited to making short staff wands.

"Jingle bells." When Jeff and Hermione stepped into Ollivander's wand shop, a bell rang in the back hall.

"Good afternoon, sir and miss." A silver-haired old man with a pair of piercing eyes really sat in the middle of the surrounding wand boxes.

The old man kept staring at Jeff, trying to see something from him.However, the results seem to be somewhat disappointing.

"Mr. Heinfeldt?" Although the old man used interrogative sentences, his tone was very certain.After all, it wasn't the first time Jeff appeared on the Daily Prophet. Although he was slightly less famous than the savior Harry Potter, it was not difficult for careful people to recognize him.

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander, let's buy two magic wands from you first. Let's recommend it." Jeff is not of a high nature, and he doesn't really want to have too much contact with the other party, so he said straight to the point .

"Okay, please wait a moment." I saw Ollivander took out a silver tape measure from his jacket pocket and measured the size around the arms of the two.

Although Jeff didn't know what the other party's measurement meant for buying a wand.Anyway, the wand that was finally taken out had nothing to do with this size. After all, this guy’s purpose was to choose a wizard with a wand, and unlike Gregorovich, he could customize the style of the wand.

"Unfortunately, I didn't buy your parents' wand from me." Ollivander seemed to be recalling, trying to find some topics to talk about, but Jeref didn't hear any regrets in his tone. It's like describing a very ordinary thing.

This did not give Jeff the desire to chat with him.

Thinking about it, the family of wands is not limited to the Ollivanders. How could wizards all over the world come to him to buy wands.

After all, the wand making industry has never been a monopoly industry, but Ollivander's reputation is greater than that of other wand makers.

"Magic wand." Jeff's answer was very short. Although he didn't know what the purpose of this guy was, Jeff didn't intend to waste time with him here.

The big deal is to make a wand yourself, although the performance may be worse.Moreover, his family is not the only one in the family of wands, and he only came here to buy it for the convenience of going to Hogwarts to study.

"Okay, sir. Which arm are you used to using your wand with?" Ollivander seemed to be impatient, so he stopped talking.

"Right hand." "Right hand, sir."

"Miss, try this first. Fourteen inches, grape vine wood, the core is the heart of a dragon." Ollivander pulled from the densely packed rows of wands, which was exactly what Hermione needed wand.

Hermione waved her wand lightly, and Jeff suddenly felt like a spring breeze.

"Very well, it seems that this wand is very suitable for this lady."

Ollivander nodded in satisfaction after seeing the effect, and then took another wand from the rows of wand racks and handed it to Jeff.

"Mr. Heinfeldt, try this. Twelve inches, yew, core of unicorn hair."

Jeff took the wand and waved it lightly, a beautiful rainbow appeared in front of several people.

It stands to reason that this is already the result of the wand successfully choosing the wizard
However.
"Well, I still feel that it is still a bit worse, so try this again. Fourteen inches, willow wood, and the core is phoenix feathers."

Jeff picked up his wand again and waved lightly, and a drizzle appeared next to the rainbow that hadn't dissipated just now.

As before, this is also the result of the wand choosing the wizard.

"Truly a picky guest, try this again. Thirteen inches, mahogany, core is the heart of a dragon."

Is it over?

At this moment, Jeref is obviously a little impatient. Ollivander's wand here is not a necessity for Jeref, he is just for the convenience of Hogwarts.

As for whether it is necessary to find the most suitable one, it does not need to be so troublesome. If it is not used smoothly, the big deal is that I will remodel it after a while.

Zeref waved his wand again, and a bolt of lightning appeared on the cloud that had been drizzled.

It should be fine now.

This thought that Jeff had already taken out the Galleon and placed it on the counter in front of Ollivander.

"Wait, I think I still need to go again"

Obviously, Ollivander is clearly still not satisfied.

"No need, this wand obeys me, that's enough." Jeff said without doubt.

Except for a very few people, most of the time when facing other people, Jeff's aura is very strong.

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ollivander's rebuttal, pulled Hermione and left.

It's not that I'm too lazy to ink with you here.

After Jeff left, the entire Ollivander store returned to its previous calm.

It's just that Jeff didn't notice that there was a slightly weird smile on Ollivander's skinny face after the two of them left.

"It's been a long time since I met a customer who can make most of the wands in the store obey you. It's funny. Mahogany, thirteen inches. I hope he treats you well."

Ollivander spoke intermittently, and then his whole body disappeared into the dark shop.

"Jeff, I don't like that place. The old gentleman makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Not far after walking out of Ollivander's shop, Hermione said to Jeff.

I dont like it either

Hermione stayed with the Grangers for the rest of the day, until September [-]st when Hogwarts started.

Strictly speaking, this was Hermione's first time living away from home.The Grangers must have a lot to tell her, and the next time they meet it may not be until Christmas.

Of course, Jeff didn't stay in the manor honestly these few days. He took the time to go to Devon County in the south west of the Rot Country.

And there, he visited a well-known alchemist in the wizarding world-Nicole May.

Nicole May: An alchemist who has lived for more than 600 years, and is also one of the directors of Beauxbaton School of Magic.The creator of the Sorcerer's Stone, invented and smelted countless alchemical products.

He enjoys a high reputation among all alchemists in the entire wizarding world, and it can even be said that Nicolas Lemer is a living myth in the eyes of these alchemists.

It's a pity that the temper of this pair of alchemists who have lived for hundreds of years is really weird.

Nicole May didn't take Jeff seriously at all, and kicked him out without even meeting him for the last time.

For an old man who has seen through death, what else can attract him?
Although he was rejected, Jeff didn't take it seriously, and he himself just reported the idea of ​​giving it a try.

It's a pity, but not annoyed.

Anyway, Nicole May and his wife will face death after this year, and there are still many ways to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and its production methods.

Couldn't the couple burn down the whole house with a fire when they were facing death?

Are his disciples really ignorant?
