The two goblins bowed to them and ushered them into a tall marble hall. About a hundred or so goblins sat on high stools behind a long line of counters, some weighing coins with copper balances, others examining gemstones with eyepieces, and scurriedly registering in large ledgers.

Ye Ting walked to the counter and took out a stack of pounds sterling from his pocket and said, “Hello, I need to exchange pounds for gallons.” ”

An old goblin stepped forward and took the pound sterling: “The pound is five to one, are you sure you will exchange all these 200 pounds for galleons?” ”

“Yes,” Ye Ting nodded, “exchange one galleon for Xike.” ”

“One galleon equals 17 sico,” the old goblin explained. After a while, a relatively young goblin handed Ye Ting a heavy bag.

Next, Dumbledore took Ye Ting to start purchasing.

“First of all, you need a wand,” he says, “and the wand made by Ollivander is the best.” ”

The shop was small and dilapidated, and the gold sign on the door had peeled off, which read: Ollivander – a well-made wand since 382 BC. In the dusty window, a wand sits lonely on a faded purple cushion.

“How are you, Ollivander, my old friend.” As soon as he entered the door, Dumbledore greeted him warmly. A shriveled old man appeared around the corner, and he also warmly hugged Dumbledore.

“Hello, old friend,” he said in retro English in a soft tone, “why are you free to come to me?” ”

“Oh, go pick up a student from a Muggle, Wood’s orphanage, you know.” Dumbledore blinked, then introduced, “That’s him, Mr. Ye, although he was born as a Muggle, he is already skilled in controlling his magic. ”

“Hmm… No wonder” Ollivander stepped forward, stared at Ye Ting with sharp eyes, and took out a long tape measure with silver scales printed on it from his pocket. “Okay, Mr. Ye, come on. Let me see. ”

“Which arm do you use to make your wand?” He asked.

Ye Ting said: “I am used to using my right hand. ”

“Raise your arms, okay!” He began to measure Ye Ting’s size from shoulder to fingertips. Ollivander said while measuring, “Every Ollivander wand has a super magical substance, which is its essence, Mr. Thunderleaf.” We used unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon nerves. Each Ollivander wand is unique because no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are exactly the same. Of course, if you used a wand that should belong to another wizard, it would never have such a good effect. ”

Ollivander chattered and shuttled between the shelves, climbing up and down the ladder, keeping the tape measure to automatically measure Ye Ting. Although his nagging made people drowsy, Ye Ting still listened carefully with spirit, although he had already understood it in the original work, he was still very curious about everything in the wizarding world.

“Okay.” Ollivander said, and the tape measure slipped to the ground and rolled up. “Then, Mr. Ye, try this one. Made of plane wood and phoenix feather core. Twelve and a half of an inch long, you wave it and try. ”

Ye Ting took the wand, and as soon as he waved it, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment a golden-red flame appeared from the tip of the wand, which ignited the cabinet in front of him with a breath, and Ye Ting even felt that he was almost about to summon a living phoenix.

“Clear water like a spring” saw Dumbledore quickly wave his wand, and a gurgling spring came out of the tip of the wand, which immediately extinguished the flames.

“Looks like this wand is not for you,” Ollivander shook his head. He took out another “beech wood and snake nerve, nine inches long.” Give it a try. ”

This time the accident was a black smoke, and the cabinets and boxes that were shrouded were quickly corroded into ugly holes as if they had been splashed with acid, and finally returned to their original state.

Then Ollivander let Ye Ting experiment with wand after wand, it seemed that the more experiments he experimented, he was happy, but accidents also appeared again and again, Ollivander and Dumbledore were all obedient, ready to hold wands at any time to prevent the sudden appearance of flames, frost or explosions from causing irreversible consequences.

Thanks to the dirty windows of the little shop in Ollivander, pedestrians outside did not notice all this.

Finally, before the wand box flooded Ye Ting, Ollivander finally stopped this fruitless experiment.

“Oh, what a picky customer.” He sighed, “Is there any spell cast in that place?” This kid’s magic is even stronger than his. ”

“Mr. Ollivander, what the hell are you talking about? I didn’t understand. Ye Ting knew that “he” was referring to Voldemort, but at this time, he still pretended to be ignorant.

It’s just that Ollivander changed the topic dryly: “No, nothing, you’ll know later, let’s get back to the topic of wands.” ”

“This is the best wand I can think of for you,” he stumbled and pulled out a delicate purple wand from a large box and handed it to Ye Ting.
