"Haha, you chicken coop, you have to pay attention to your appearance when you go out, Chu Yang!" Sprout waved the wand in his hand and smoothed Chu Yang's messy hair.
"You didn't give me time to sort it out, professor." Chu Yang shrugged and defended innocently.
"Hurry downstairs and have breakfast. We have a lot to buy today." Sprout turned and went downstairs, his heavy body making a tooth-piercing sound when he stepped on the wooden stairwell.
Chu Yang followed her, keeping a certain distance, for fear that the other party would step down the stairs with one kick.
Bread, jam, milk, sausage, a very classic four-piece set.
The breakfast provided by the Leaky Cauldron was not delicious, at most it was just enough to satisfy his hunger. However, Chu Yang still ate all the food in the bowl.
Children from orphanages never waste food.
After the two finished eating, they left through the back door of the Leaky Cauldron. After walking a few steps, they were blocked by a wall. Chu Yang was a little excited. He knew that the other side of the wall was Diagon Alley, which symbolized the real magical world.
"The third brick above the trash can, count two bricks to the side, remember, and knock it three times, the passage to Diagon Alley will open."
Sprout took out his wand and tapped the bricks three times. The wall in front of him seemed to come alive, flipping to both sides, and a mysterious world unfolded in front of Chu Yang.
Sprout led the way.
Then he introduced everything about this alley to Chu Yang.
"In addition to the entrance to the back door of the Leaky Cauldron, there are two ways to get to Diagon Alley. One is the Disapparation I used before, and the other is Floo powder."
"But the requirements for apparation are very high, and it is difficult for ordinary wizards to master. Generally, only professor-level wizards like me can cast it calmly."
"The method of using Floo powder is relatively simple, and the price is not expensive. One spoonful of two Silver Sickles is the first choice for many wizarding families."
Sprout pointed to the fireplaces on both sides of the street and explained: "Floo powder will only take effect if it is connected to the fireplace. The method of use is very simple. Just hold a handful of Floo powder and stand on it." In the fireplace, just say the place name clearly and then sprinkle the Floo powder."
At this point, Sprout suddenly turned around, looked at Chu Yang seriously and said, "Remember, when you say the name of a place, you must pronounce it clearly, otherwise, the consequences will be serious, do you understand?"
Chu Yang replied: "Speaking the wrong name will teleport people to strange places, right?"
"Not only that, some people teleported themselves into the wall and died on the spot just because they said the wrong place name." Sprout sighed: "I don't want to see your name in the accidental casualties list, Chu Yang."
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded silently.
Later, Sprout took Chu Yang to a robe shop and customized three sets of robes, pointed hats, protective gloves, and winter cloaks for Chu Yang.
There was also a crucible for the Potions class. His pet Chu Yang chose an owl, and he could only choose an owl. Who in the right mind would choose a toad or a mouse?
This is something Sprout does every year. He is familiar with the process and has most of the supplies that need to be prepared in a blink of an eye.
All costs are borne by Hogwarts.
Now only the wand remains!
Sprout and Chu Yang came to a wand shop that looked very old.
Ollivander!
"Welcome, Professor Sprout! Chestnut wood, unicorn hair, ten and two-thirds inches long. You look dusty. Did you come back from somewhere just now?"
The old man with the same hairstyle as Einstein came down the slide and finally got over the wand boxes piled everywhere and came to Sprout.
Sprout smiled and responded: "Hello, Mr. Ollivander, your memory is still as good as ever."
"Of course, I remember every wand sold from me and its owner." Ollivander raised his head proudly, and then glanced at Chu Yang, "Is this little wizard here to buy a wand? "
"He's the new kid at Hogwarts this year," Sprout explained.
"Congratulations on entering Hogwarts. It is the best school in the world. Believe me, you will have a bright future!" Ollivander blinked, then waved his wand and said, "I'll do it. Let me measure your body first, please don't move around."
Then, under the control of Ollivander's magic power, a set of measuring tools began to wander on the surface of Chu Yang's body.
To be honest, Chu Yang didn't understand what the relationship between choosing a wand and a physical test was. Even measure the distance between your eyes and nose.
"Each wand is unique, its properties determined by the tree from which the wand's wood comes and the magical biological qualities of the wand's core. Furthermore, as each wand finds its ideal owner, it begins to impart its own properties and Learn the traits of the bearer."
"Wands and users complement each other. Wands made of the same material will grow into wands with completely different characteristics after encountering completely different owners."
While talking, Ollivander had finished measuring Chu Yang and started looking for a suitable wand for him.
"Which hand is your dominant hand?"
"Right hand!"
Ollivander leaned over and rummaged through the pile of wand boxes for a while, and finally took out a dusty wand box, handed it to Chu Yang and blew it gently.
"Cough cough cough." Chu Yang coughed while taking the wand box from Ollivander's hand and pulling out the wand inside.
"Aspen wood, dragon heartstrings, ten inches. Hold it in your hand and wave it gently. Remember, be gentle."
Listening to Ollivander's instructions, Chu Yang gently waved the wand in his hand, and an invisible impact spread out, directly overturning the container behind Ollivander.
Sprout took a few steps back and stood at the door of the wand shop, holding his chest and letting out a long breath.
Ollivander was frightened and said, "It's a very powerful magic, young man, but it's not suitable for you!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ollivander." Chu Yang quickly changed the wand back, and he was startled by the movement just now.
He forgot that because of the existence of the Soul Palace, his talents in all aspects were far beyond ordinary people.
"It's okay, kid, this kind of thing happens from time to time, although it's rare to see something as big as yours..."
Ollivander turned around and rummaged through the shelves again, muttering, "Maybe because you have Eastern ancestry, I have to find you some wands from my hometown."
Generally speaking, there are three materials used by Ollivander to make the core of the wand: phoenix tail feathers, unicorn hair, and dragon heartstrings.
It's not that there are no other materials, it's that Ollivander only uses the best materials. This is his rule for making wands.
Therefore, in addition to the three commonly used materials, Ollivander will also try to find some more rare materials to make wands.
Finally Ollivander pulled out another dusty wand box.
