While Ryan and the others were listening to the radio and drinking black tea, a Mr. Skillful Hand flew down the stairs. It came to where Ryan and the others were sitting and said in a unique mechanical voice, "Yesterday's man named Olivan
De's guest is awake now, and he hopes to see the man who rescued him from that prison yesterday."
"Okay, let's go up now." Ryan nodded to the round robot, then waved his wand to turn off the radio and stood up with Hermione and walked upstairs.
After going up the stairs to the second floor, they walked a few steps into the corridor on the left. The brown wooden door of the guest room appeared in front of them. Ryan took a step forward and walked to the door and knocked gently. There was a faint "
Come in!" he answered them.
After opening the door, you can see a wooden single bed placed near the window of the room. Ollivander is now half lying on the bed with pillows. At this time, the curtains are half opened, and with the help of sunlight, Ryan can see
It can be seen that his current condition is much worse than that then. He looks very haggard, with all the bones on his face protruding, and his skin is yellow. His big silver eyes are sunk deep into the eye sockets, making him look even bigger. He is placed on a thin quilt.
The hands on it look like skeletons.
According to Hermione's examination yesterday, Ollivander has been out of the sun for at least more than a year and has been tortured several times. This is why he looks in such bad condition now.
Before Ryan and the others came in, Ollivander had been looking at the small garden downstairs through the window, but now he turned his head and looked at Ryan and the others with his silver eyes.
"Mr. Ollivander, I'm glad to see you awake, but I think you'd better rest because your current physical condition is not very good." Ryan advised Ollivander, who was half lying on the bed.
arrive.
"My dear children," Ollivander's voice was weak, "you rescued us. I thought we would die there. I can't thank you enough... I can't thank you enough..."
"We are very happy to help you." Hermione said, "As long as it can weaken the mysterious man or the Death Eaters, we are willing to do it. However, you are still very weak now, so there is no need to call us up specifically to thank you.
.”
"Ah, of course. I didn't invite you here specifically to thank you, but I need to tell you what the mysterious man did to arrest me and Grigovitch. I think this should be of some help in defeating the mysterious man.
"
"This is really good news." Leon and Hermione looked at each other and said, "Yesterday after we entered the house where you were, I found out through the seized trophies that you seemed to be making something?"
"Yes, we are indeed making something." Ollivander nodded slowly. "The mysterious man asked us to make a wand, a wand that can defeat Principal Dumbledore."
"Because his wand has been completely destroyed." Ollivander lowered his voice and said, "So he blamed all the previous failures on this, so he kidnapped me at that time and asked me to make him a
A powerful wand."
Ryan suddenly thought of the yew wand belonging to Voldemort that he and Peter Pettigrew burned with wildfire on the day Voldemort was resurrected. It seemed that this was the first time Voldemort kidnapped Ollivander after his resurrection.
the reason.
"So, have you made that wand?" Hermione asked. "It's as powerful a wand as the mysterious man requested."
"Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't be like this." Ollivander said with a wry smile. "During this whole year, I have tried thousands of combinations of wands and wand cores.
We even used treasures from some pure-blood families. For example, the bones of Titans, and real dragon scales. I swear I have never seen these things before—"
"But I still don't know why I can't make the wand that the mysterious man needs." Ollivander looked a little desperate. "I have tried all wand-making techniques, even the oldest wands. The things I made are indeed accurate.
It can fit the mysterious person, but I don't know why I still can't reach that ancient -" At this point, Ollivander's voice suddenly became smaller.
"What's ancient, sir?" Seeing that Ollivander seemed to be lost in thought, Ryan had to interrupt his thoughts.
"Where did I just talk about? Oh, by the way, it's an ancient wand." After being reminded, Olivan suddenly woke up from his meditation. Then he leaned back along the head of the bed and said. "
More than a month ago, the mysterious man went out with the most powerful wand I had ever made, but when he came back, he was so angry that he tortured me with the Cruciatus Curse all night—"
"I'm sorry, sir, I think that's because I was trying to protect Harry Potter from confronting the mysterious man." Ryan said with a somewhat guilty tone. After all, the old man in front of him was tortured because of his victory.
of.
"Kid, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Ollivander's eyes widened, and he couldn't care less about the topic he just talked about. "If I heard correctly, you just said that you and the mysterious man had an affair more than a month ago.
We had a head-on confrontation."
"Not only that, Mr. Ollivander," Hermione said. "Not long ago, Ryan stopped another conspiracy of a mysterious man in Hogsmeade, and even forced the mysterious man back."
"Hermione, you are flattering me a bit." Ryan smiled and shook his head. "The one who really forced the mysterious man back was Principal Dumbledore. If he wasted too much time here, the principal would be here soon.
.”
"This is already impressive, kid." Ollivander said. "At your age, being able to confront the mysterious man head-on is a miracle in itself. This should be the best news I heard today."
This news made Ollivander very excited. After calming down for several minutes, he could continue the topic he just said. "If things are as you just said, then after the mysterious man experienced failure again, he began to ask himself
After receiving information about various powerful magic items from my subordinates, I captured Grigovitch a week ago."
At this point Ollivander paused, "Gregovich was arrested because the mysterious man found out that he once owned the most powerful wand - the Death Rod, the Wand of Destiny or the Elder Wand, so he went there."
Looking for him. After interrogating the whereabouts of the Elder Wand, the mysterious man imprisoned him and me for some reason. Since then, he has asked us to make a wand that is comparable to the Elder Wand."
"This is what I can't understand." Ollivander said in a confused tone. "The history of the Elder Wand runs through the entire history of magic. Although it is interrupted in the middle, it will always reappear. It has a certain
There are some identifiable characteristics that anyone who has studied wandology will recognize. There are some written records, some very obscure, that I and other wandmakers have studied specifically. Those records have a certain degree of authenticity."
"So I know very well that this wand is made of Thestral tail feathers and the body of elder." Ollivander's eyes sparkled when he said this. "This is a powerful combination, but the material is absolutely
It’s not top-notch. It can even be said that this combination was only slowly developed after those excellent and rare wand materials disappeared with those powerful magical creatures more than 1,500 years ago. I don’t understand why such a combination
But it is more powerful than what I made using those powerful and ancient materials according to ancient methods."
"I think in addition to materials, the production techniques of any magic prop cannot be ignored." Thinking of the production process of his Madonna of the Rose, Ryan seemed to understand something. "If I guessed correctly, the reason why you can't make it
The reason why you want to create a wand comparable to the Elder Wand is because your own level is somewhat insufficient."
