Chapter 135 Buying a Magic Wand 1

Ollivander's Wand Shop is located in a small corner on the south side of Diagon Alley. Looking from the street, the shop looks small and dilapidated, and is sandwiched between two beautifully decorated shops on the left and right. It doesn't seem to be a painting style.

The golden coating on the surface of the signboard on the door has peeled off, and after careful identification, it was found that the signboard reads - "Ollivander: a well-made wand since 380 BC".

The windows of Ollivander's Wand Shop were not as clean and bright as those of other shops, but presented a kind of gray and dim.

In the window, on a faded square of purple upholstery stood a wand, in poor detail.

"It's here."

Because Afu often comes to Ollivander's Wand Shop to buy (buy) (buy) magic (purchase) wands (goods), so she is very familiar with it.

"This way." Afu held Little Tom with one hand, and opened the store door with the other.

"jingle--"

The metal bell on the back of the store door to remind visitors was knocking because the door was pushed open, and the crisp sound woke up Garrick Ollivander who was busy behind the counter.

The store has a small interior space with nothing but a counter across from the door and a bench randomly placed in a corner.

In fact, it’s not that big of a space. The shop has been cursed with a traceless extension, and thousands of long and narrow cartons containing magic wands are stacked from the floor to the ceiling. It’s just that the free space in the shop is very small ——Olifan De wished to fill all the space in the room with wands.

The cartons piled up everywhere looked a little precarious, as if they might collapse at any time due to the unstable center of gravity.

There was a thin layer of dust everywhere in the shop, making the already narrow and cramped space gray.

"welcome--"

Garrick Ollivander was still a handsome young man at this time, and he raised his head from the dense pile of cardboard boxes.

The light brown hair was all combed back, but it looked fluffy because it hadn't been sprayed with hairspray. The messy hair showed that the work he had just stopped was not easy.

Behind the oval lenses are a pair of dark brown eyes, perhaps because he is used to wearing glasses or perhaps because he was born with narrow eyebrows and eyes. His eyes are slightly squinted, with drooping eyelids, showing a triangular shape.

Because of his solemn and steady eyes and upright expression, the triangular eyes that would have seemed a bit cunning and sinister, instead showed a rare wisdom on Garrick Ollivander's face.

"Welcome, Professor." Ollivander put down the cardboard box in his hand and greeted with a smile.

"Do you want to pick another batch..."

Ollivander's questioning tone was interrupted by Afu waving his hand.

"No, today I'm here to buy a wand for the little wizard at home." Afu raised the hand holding Tom a little higher and introduced to Ollivander, "Tom Gunter"

Of course, Tom's arm was also raised with Afu's movement.

"Little wizard... oh, little wizard."

Ollivander pushed the glasses up a little higher so that the center of his vision was in focus with the lenses and he could see more clearly.

"What a handsome little wizard." Ollivander complimented politely and commercially.

"Gaunt, Gaunt..." Ollivander muttered to himself, then looked at Tom, "Oh, Mr. Gaunt, please tell me which hand you have."

"Right hand, sir." Tom stepped forward.

"To be honest, Mr. Gunter, you look completely different from the Gunter I met when I was a child." As he spoke, Ollivander groped around the counter with his hand.

"The Gaunts all have some... um——" Ollivander struggled to organize his words, "they all have personalities."

"And it's very impolite." Ollivander's light brown eyebrows frowned, but soon relaxed again, "Maybe I said so, um..."

"Anyway, the surname Gunter is hard to see now." Ollivander finally fumbled for a tape measure from the counter.

He flicked aside the tangled tape measure and walked over to Tom.

"Stretch out, yes, straighten out."

"Stand up straight, chest out and stomach in, that's fine."

"It can be seen that Professor, you have raised Mr. Gunter very well, and his height is very good." Ollivander measured Tom's height, and at the same time, he and Afu praised Tom's tall and straight figure sincerely.

"Mr. Gunter's bones are well developed—although I haven't studied this knowledge systematically, I handle quite a few little wizards every year."

"I dare say that Mr. Gunter's physical condition is really good." Ollivander pinched the muscles on Tom's arms, "The muscles are also very strong."

"Many young wizards have soft arm muscles. You must know that some wands are of considerable length, thickness, and weight." Ollivander said, "Although most of my wands here are thin and light, they are always Some are harder to swing."

"Perhaps one or two spells are fine, but in a duel, lack of arm strength is a big burden."
