Chapter 12: 12: This is a Fenix not a Phoenix

"Perfect, too perfect!"

Ollivander was overwhelmed with excitement upon witnessing this scene.

"Is this the wand choosing the wizard?"

Ivan couldn't let go of the wand in his hand. This wonderful feeling was indescribable.

As Ollivander said, the wand is the best partner of the wizard. It will accompany them throughout their lives and grow with them.

In addition, after the soul reached level 4, Ivan was able to open a very special vision.

In this vision, Ivan clearly saw a small figure perched on the wand in his hand. It was a very beautiful phoenix, singing a cheerful song.

"Chi~Chi~"

The phoenix vaguely sensed Ivan's gaze. It tilted its head and flapped its wings to express the joy of awakening its new master.

'Cute little guy.'

Because there were others present, Ivan did not interact further with the little phoenix, but simply blinked at it.

"Every wand is unique, and this one is the most special one among all the wands made by the Ollivander family." Ollivander then told Ivan about the origin of this wand: "A long time ago, my ancestors traveled to Bhutan, where Eastern magic originated."

"On that day, a phoenix perched on the top of a phoenix tree in Bhutan. It transformed into flames and perished with the ancient tree."

"This phoenix is a rare kind. According to the ancient letters by family possesed, this magical creature has been extinct for many years."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely to be the only phoenix left in the world."

Ollivander continued: "Unlike the phoenix (Fawkex) here, this is called Fenix in the eastern magical world, it does not possess the ability to be reborn, but in contrast, they have almost eternal life."

"Many wizards in ancient times beleaved that the Fenix embodies immortal qualities."

Ollivander is not very familiar with this rare phoenix, so he does not know the specific details about this sacred bird.

"My ancestor found the last remnants in the embers of the fire and used superb alchemy to craft it into a magic wand."

"It is neither solely a wand body nor a wand core, but a fusion of the two."

"But it is not complete, because there is still one last step."

Ollivander had always thought it was just a legend in the family, but he didn't expect that someone could actually awaken it.

"The last step?"

"Rebirth!"

Ollivander explained: "The powerful and pure magic will breathe new life into the soul sleeping within this wand."

In the old man's eyes, this wand has transcended the realm of ordinary wands. It is both a work of art and a miracle.

"I feel very honored because I have witnessed the miracle that my ancestors dreamed of."

Ollivander firmly stated that he would not charge any fees for this wand. He slowly pushed the wand in Ivan's hand toward the boy: "I believe that this wand will achieve unprecedented feats in your hands."

"....."

Ivan didn't know what to say, but Ollivander was right about one thing: This wand is indeed a miracle.

"Chirp?"

The Fenix on the wand is in harmony with Ivan. It flutters its wings and perches on its owner's shoulder, as if to express its closeness to him.

This Fenix is very different from Fawkes, the Dumbledore family phoenix that Ivan saw in the movie.

First of all, Fawkes' scientific name is Phoenix, which signifies the immortal bird.

The wand in Ivan's hand comes from a 'Fenix'.

In the Harry Potter world, the Fenix- the bird of rebirth and the Phoenix- immortal bird are both divine creatures born from flames, but they are not the same.

The immortal bird Phoenix can be reborn from its ashes and its tears have healing properties, while the Fenix is a rarer magical creature than the immortal bird.

Ivan doesn't know whether the Fenix really existed in his previous life, but in the wizarding world, the so-called Fenix, red bird, and immortal bird mentioned by Muggles are actually present.

The Fenix is the king of birds and can control flames. Although it does not have the ability to be reborn from ashes, it can consume flames and magical power, thus gaining eternal life.

Furthermore, the Fenix blesses humans and brings them good fortune.

Its beautiful song has the power to rejuvenate all things and save souls.

"Chi~ Chi~"

The little Fenix spread its wings again and flew around Ivan. Its flame-like hue and five tail feathers, each containing different colors and magic, made it look particularly sacred and majestic.

'It is indeed a divine bird known as auspicious. It is so beautiful.'

Ivan silently admired it, but it was a shame that those around him could not witness this scene.

In their eyes, the wand in Ivan's hand was magical, but it was still just a wand.

However, when Ivan looked in the mirror placed in the room, he saw a vision of a young man riding a massive Fenix, soaring through the sky—it was his future self.

'It seems that the Fenix is not dead.'

Ivan had a premonition that as long as he continued to provide magical power to the wand, the dormant Fenix within it could revive and be reborn.

'Go back first, little guy.'

The little Fenix seemed to hear Ivan's thoughts. It circled the wand a few times, then darted into the sycamore wand and disappeared.

"By the way, here are these."

Ollivander took out a set of the latest wand care tools and gave them to Ivan for free.

This made the little witch envious.

Even Professor McGonagall muttered under her breath that she had been overcharged by Ollivander's father when she bought her care tools.

Thinking about it, where is the profit from a wand that costs 7 Galleons?

If you really want to make money, it's through selling accessories.

"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."

Ivan did not decline the old man's generosity: "I like this wand very much."

After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Ivan carefully placed the wand into a pocket he had specially sewn into his sleeve, ensuring that the wand could be quickly drawn if needed.

Next, the three went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions to buy wizard robes.

During this visit, Ivan asked Madam Malkin to modify his wizard robe, shortening the trailing hem and creating a specialized pocket in the sleeve for storing the wand.

After seeing this, the little witch wanted to imitate it.

Unfortunately, she was afraid that being unique would attract too much attention, so she only modified the sleeves.

The purchase of the magic wand is the biggest expense. In addition to books, wizard robes and instruments on the list, first-year freshmen can also bring a pet.
