Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

At this time, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper noticed that both of them had a wand pinned behind them.

"That doesn't seem to be a customer, so how about come in and have a look?" the man said enthusiastically.

This is a simple and messy store. Unlike its simplicity on the outside, it has a dazzling variety of wands inside. All kinds of wand boxes are almost piled up in the whole room, making it impossible for people to get down.

"Although the wands in my store are not very popular, I can say that I am one of the stores that collect the most wand materials in the whole of France." The man said proudly.

"Compensation?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows.

"It seems to be someone who knows the inside story." The man laughed again, not shy about this.

"What compensation?" Furong asked in a low voice, but was still heard by the man, he explained with a smile:

"My poor grandfather used to be obsessed with silver basswood, thinking it was the best wand material. He was deceived by a businessman and went bankrupt because of his ignorance." The man shrugged and said with a smile. "The wood hasn't been used up to this day."

"Of course, now we all know that there is no best wand material, only the most suitable wand for the wizard himself." The shop owner said slowly.

"So I try to avoid his old ways, um...my father made me read a lot of wandology books, and I've done a lot of research on the properties of wand wood just to compensate."

"You must have never thought that apple trees can also be used as wands, right?" the man said proudly, then took out a delicate box from the cabinet at hand, opened it, and took out the wand in it.

"Well, fourteen inches, apple wood." The man raised his wand and scrutinized it carefully. "Suitable for wizards with great power and noble aspirations." He nodded, and seemed to appreciate his work.

"There have been many failed works before this." The man pouted, as if he felt a little distressed about the material of those wands.

"Dragon nerves, troll beards, the cores of apple wood are not very good."

"The former is very suitable for black magic, and its power is huge, but it is completely incompatible with apple wood. As for the troll beard, it is too bulky and not light enough." He muttered to himself.

"The phoenix tail feathers are very good. I bought a phoenix feather from the black market at a high price and added it to it. It seems to have a good effect. It is easier for them to identify with a righteous wizard.

"

Malfoy and Fleur listened to the man's explanation politely and patiently. His explanation was not boring, even a little interesting. Even Fleur listened with relish.

"Sorry, I was too fascinated for a while." The man said with a smile, and then he came back to his senses.

"Do your wands need to be replaced? Or do they need maintenance and repairs?" he asked at this time.

"I need a wand of the same material as this one." Malfoy suddenly pulled a wand out of nowhere and handed it over.

"It's a peculiar request." The man said in surprise, then took the wand, looked at it carefully, and waved it.

"The whirlwind sweeps!"

A moderate wind blew from the store, making a "whoosh" sound, and then swept the entire store, sweeping all the dust out the door.

"Elderberry? Dragon's nerve?" The man exclaimed after casting a magic spell. The power of magic was stronger than he imagined.

"I think I know who asked you to come? Is he sure he wants to take this wand back?" The man stroked his short stubble, the look of thought in his chestnut pupils.

He added: "This wand is older than I am, and, according to my father, was given to him by a well-respected wizard."

"Yes, sir." Malfoy nodded.

"Okay, when I look for it, it should have been placed at the bottom by me. I thought no one would ever come and pick it up." The store owner muttered, putting down the apple wood wand in his hand, and turned to the end of the store. go.

"What's the point of this wand?" Fleur asked in a low voice, looking at the elder wand on the glass case.

"A shoddy little thing, it's just a token, maybe it's a sign of how one person misses another person." Malfoy shrugged and explained to the girl.

"Oh, I found it, don't look at me, although the arrangement here is a bit messy, but I still know where the things are placed." Soon, the man raised a long and narrow box and walked all the way to the two of them. Put it on the glass case.

A black wand with wonderful lines on its body is lying quietly in a simple box. Different from other wands, it does not pursue beauty, and its shape is not symmetrical. There are protruding twigs and slight bulges. From this one might infer the unruly nature of the wand's owner.

It's just that the wand is now covered in dust and looks like it hasn't been used for a long time.

Few people will know that he once belonged to the dark wizard after Voldemort - Gellert Grindelwald.

"It's also the same material as elderberry..." Malfoy thought and whispered to himself.

Obviously, this is no coincidence.

Grindelwald's first wand was the rare elderberry.

The cherishing of the elderberry itself is one reason, and another reason is the superstition of wizards, most of whom believe that those who possess such wands will bring great misfortune.

The ancient superstition that "elder wands will never prosper" is due to the superstition and fear of this kind of wand. Similarly, wands made of this material also have extremely high requirements for wizards.

As a result, wand makers are less likely to favor wands that are expensive and unsellable.

The wand can reflect the character of a wizard and even the future fortune. For example, the fir wand is called the wand of the survivor, because of its toughness, it can often save the wand holder from danger. Even better, there are many Ravenclaw students use this kind of wand, and ash is more suitable for those who are good at dueling, and more simply, it is the heart of struggle.

Grindelwald, who pursued power throughout his wizarding career, was interested in perhaps the most famous of the bone wands, which led to his move from the then-elder wand-holder, Gregorovitch. The Elder Wand was stolen there.

At that time, Dumbledore's sister Ariana had died in the melee of the three, and the two had completely turned their faces (hands) and parted ways.

This dangerous dark wizard, second only to Voldemort, began to build his own army, create chaos, and sacrifice many innocent people for the so-called "revolution".

In the end, the most powerful white wizard in the world at that time held a duel with the black wizard, symbolizing the righteous side, Dumbledore won, and the loser was imprisoned in the prison he created - Nurmengard.

The Elder Wand and the first wand he had stolen were naturally captured by Dumbledore in the Battle of the Century.

"What material was Dumbledore's first wand?" Malfoy's thoughts sank into the sea of ​​thought, and he was a little interested.
