章節 5: Chapter 5. Obscurus
Mr. Ollivander handed Elijah another wand, but he snatched it away before Elijah could try it.
"Oh, this one doesn't look right either, so try this one, acacia and phoenix feather, 11 inches!"
Mr. Ollivander quickly produced another wand and handed it to Elijah.
"Oh, no, it doesn't fit either, so how about this one, apple tree and unicorn hair, 12 1/4 inches!"
Elijah took the wand, shook it slightly, and saw a ball of shining light shoot out, blowing a vase on the counter to pieces.
"Sorry, sir."
Elijah was a little embarrassed. Although wizards can use magic spells to repair and restore damaged things, his magic power is too strong and too active, often causing damage to the surroundings.
He was born with very strong magic power, which is not possessed by other little wizards. Generally speaking, the magic power in a little wizard's body will start to increase year by year after the age of 11.
But he was obviously an 'accident'. Since in that accident he was very young, his body had very powerful magic power, and magic riots often occurred, blowing things around him to pieces.
Because the magic power was too strong, he had to compress the powerful magic power in his body to form a dark force called "Obscurus".
In the wizarding world, when young wizards will restrain their magical powers but due to lack of guidance, they have not learned to control and control their own powers, thus life deriving parasites—Obscurus.
This is an extremely invisible, unstable and uncontrollable black magic power, which moves extremely fast, will break away from the host and attack others.
An Obscurial might lose control when they reached their emotional and mental breaking point, releasing their Obscurus as an invisible (or nearly invisible) destructive wind. In extreme cases, they might physically transform into an Obscurus.
In the written records of wizarding history, there is no case that the Obscure lived past the age of ten except for exemplified ones like Ariana Dumbledore and Credence Barebones, who terrorised US in 1930s.
The Obscure is the host, and is hosted by the dark magic power. Once the wizard is subjected to great emotional fluctuations, the uncontrollable magic in his body will explode.
The person will turn into a black mist with no substance, and its destructive power is extremely powerful, practically unbeatable.
If they don't use magic all the time, Obscure will eat back at the host, and eventually take over the host's body and get out of control, which will bring disaster.
Then for ordinary wizards like Elijah, having suffered Cruciatus Curse at the hand of Bellatrix as an infant and dying in the process, only to be reborn with a different soul and a Obscurus in the body with an absurdly high magic power.
The 'New Elijah' having read about 'obscurus' in his previous life, seen Credence Barebone becoming a reckoning in Fantastic Beast, immediately started training his emotions.
Relying on discipline, meditation, self study and leaning a lot of powerful magic from books, especial on that 'book' from Egypt having numerous lost magic both dark and light, learnt to lost his cool aka emotional balance in any situation and restricting social contact. As he will not trigger a breaking point if he doesn't meet new people.
But everything has an reaction, stop any social interaction also made Elijah lonely, hateful and critical towards other in is mind, slowly becoming darker and finding dark magic.
Even then he cannot stop the poison from Obscurus draining his life curse, now at the age of eleven he knew he didn't have much time left, he must act today.
"Oh, that's all right, but obviously this wand isn't for you either. Try this one, boy. Ebony wood and dragon's nerves, 10 inches, very springy."
Ollivander didn't care, and took out a new wand.
But unfortunately, this wand was not suitable for Elijah, and was soon taken away by Mr. Ollivander, and then tried a new wand.
Elijah tried one after another, but none of them fit, and the tried wands were piled up on the bench like a hill.
"Could it be that there is no wand suitable for me at all? Is it because I am Obscurus." Elijah thought in his heart, he was almost numb, there should be hundreds of wands passing through his hands.
"If there is really no suitable one, just pick one at random. Anyway, the wand is only for assisting spellcasting."
He could cast spells without a wand, anyway.
"Oh! A picky customer, but it doesn't matter, I think, here you can always find the most ideal, perfect, and most suitable for you."
Compared with Elijah's boredom, Mr. Ollivander seemed happy.
"Let me see - oh, yes, why not, Ollivander's Wand Shop must be able to satisfy customers."
Ollivander walked into the back hall and came out holding a dusty box in a short while.
"I have to say, this wand is quite old, and it was the last wand my grandfather made during his lifetime."
Ollivander opened the dusty box, and there was a black wand inside.
"Come on boy, try this one, Elderberry and Thestral Tail feathers, 15 inches, this is a wand of great power, only the extraordinary wizard can be recognized by it."
Mr. Ollivander handed Elijah the wand.
But Elijah was stunned, the wand made of Elderberry and Thestral tail feathers, isn't that the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, but shouldn't the Elder Wand be in Dumbledore's hands now?
"Mr. Ollivander, if I remember correctly, in the legend of the three brothers in "The Tales of Peter the Poet", the wand held by the eldest is the elder wand made by Death." Elijah said.
"You know that story, boy. Yes, you are right, but this wand is not the legendary Elder Wand. It was imitated by my grandfather according to the legend of the Elder Wand. You see every person in our family tries to recreate the death wand once in their life, this was my grandfather's."
Ollivander replied that the legend of the Deathly Hallows has always been circulated in the wizarding world, and the legendary invincible Elder Wand is what all wizards want.
As a wandmaker, Ollivander's grandfather naturally wanted to make a wand comparable to the Elder Wand.
It's a pity that there is only one Elder Wand, even if it is made of the same material, it cannot be compared with the Elder Wand at all.
Moreover, a wand made of elderberry and thestral tail feathers is not something ordinary wizards can have.
The wand chooses the wizard. This wand, made by imitating the legendary old wand, has never had an owner, and can only be left in the corner to eat ashes.
Because of the uniqueness of the elderberry wand, the Ollivander family has never made this kind of wand since then, after all, it cannot be sold.
"Come on, try it, boy, and see if you can be recognized by this wand." Ollivander smiled and said.
Elijah took the elder wand, which gave him a strange second feeling, as if the elder wand had become one with his arm.
"Reparo!"
Elijah raised wand above his head, said a spell, and a ray of light shot from the wand.
In an instant, the fragments of glass bottles that were blown up on the counter and the fragments of the boxes containing the wands that were blown up behind the counter seemed to turn back time.
The glass shards were magically restored to a glass bottle, and the sawdust fragments were also magically restored to wooden boxes for wands.
""Oh, oh, oh...it's amazing, boy, I didn't expect you to be recognized by this wand and the perfect restoration spell, it seems that this wand has recognized you. It seems that you must be an extraordinary wizard, Only extraordinary wizards can be recognized by this elder wand. You must know that other wizards cannot cast magic with this wand. Congratulations, child. This wand is yours now. I hope you can use it well."
"Yes sir, this is a very fine wand, I wonder how many Galleons it takes?"
Elijah looked at the elder wand in his hand. This wand could perfectly carry his magic power, and it could even release his magic power to the maximum.
"30 Galleons, kid."
Ollivander blinked and said.
"Here are 25 gallons. I'm just a little wizard whose parents died, and I can only live on some poor inheritance left by my parents. That the most I can pay."
"Okay, ok I can take from a handsome young man such as you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."
Elijah readily paid 25 Galleons, and he was very short on Galleons now, just almost ended the last bits saved by him for the last ten years.
"Goodbye, Mr. Ollivander, and good luck with your business!"
Elijah waved and left Ollivander's wand shop.
"Oh, what an incredible kid!"
Ollivander sighed.
After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Kiki the house elf was already waiting outside, and he had already bought everything.
"Little master, Kiki has already bought everything, everything."
Kiki said jumping happily.
"Thank you, Kiki, you are really capable."
Elijah praised that the house elves are indeed the best helpers for wizards.
"Oh! The little master is praising me, the little master is praising me, Kiki is so happy!"
Kiki clutched his chest, excitedly looking like he was about to faint.
"Okay, everything is bought now. Kiki, you take these things home first, and wait for my call near the dark alleys I told you about, when I call you. I have to do some things now."
Elijah said that it was time for him to get down to business. The Philosopher's Stone was still lying in the Golden Curry of Gringotts, which he had to get.
"Yes, little master."
Kiki immediately agreed, held those things, snapped his fingers, and left with Apparition.
"Harry Potter is coming soon, I have to hurry before the protagonist arrives."
