Chapter 58 The Old School Old Wand
In front of everyone, Halia felt sorry for the finger marks on Harry's arm, and even asked the wizard in the room with a camera to take a picture of Harry.Everyone had never seen such a move by Halia, and was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say.
When Skeeter realized what he was about to say, he saw Halia holding the photo he had just taken in his hand. In the photo, Harry was small and thin, and his slender arms had obvious pinch marks on his slender arms. .
Skeeter encountered this situation for the first time: an interview was about to take place, but the interviewee was dragged away by a little witch who came out of nowhere, and she acted as if the interviewee had been abused by her.Skeeter noticed that the famous Harry was also confused now, and she heard Harry say, "Leah, what are you doing? There are no marks on my arms now."
"That's right, so hurry up and take pictures, or the nail prints will disappear." Skeeter laughed angrily when he heard that the little witch dared to say something like framing her so blatantly: "Young lady, Shall I explain to you what a scoop is?"
Halia heard Skeeter's question and looked at Fleur. After a while, seeing people around her looking at her, she pretended to know that Skeeter was talking to her, and said casually: "Oh, so it's Ask me, just say what you want to say."
Skeeter was irritated by Halia's series of actions, and when he was about to accuse her of being rude, there was a knock on the door of the small classroom.A witch came in and greeted everyone she knew in the classroom, from Bagman to photographer Fuzo and finally Skeeter: "Hey, Rita, I found something interesting today, you want Want to hear it?"
"Loldana, why... are you here?" Skeeter's voice became weaker and weaker, with a very guilty look.
Lordana smiled brightly: "Yes, I am as surprised as you are, and today I was able to catch up with the interviews with the warriors of the Tournament. Oh, by the way, there seems to be a thief in the office of the nearest newspaper office. I just prepared to As we were leaving for Hogwarts, Editor-in-Chief Barnabas called me back to find the latest manuscript I had sent him a few hours earlier.
"I went to the office to search for a long time but I couldn't find it. Fortunately, I have a backup. Would you like to go back to the office to see if you lost your manuscript? I heard that you have put a lot of thought into interviewing those big people recently. It’s not good. Or just read it in the newspaper in a few days, has your manuscript been published?”
Halia saw the obvious struggle on Skeeter's face, should she stay in Hogwarts?Or listen to Lordana and go back to the offices of the Daily Prophet?
Halia saw Skeeter make a decision: Skeeter glanced at Lordana resentfully, grabbed her crocodile leather handbag, walked to the door of the small classroom, opened the door to go out, just in time to see Come in Dumbledore.
The expression on Dumbledore's face was a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Skeeter had left now.Skeeter greeted Dumbledore with a smile on his face: "Dumbledore, how are you doing? I don't know if you read my article about the International Conference of Wizards in the summer?"
Dumbledore stared at Skeeter: "I read it, especially since you've written me as a petrified old lunatic."
Skeeter didn't mean to be shy at all, and said goodbye to Dumbledore generously: "I just want to explain that your views are a bit outdated, but now I need to report back to the agency, and I regret that I can't interview you."
Dumbledore turned sideways to let Skeeter out of the small room, and then led several other referees into the room, followed by an elderly wizard at the end.
After the few people met and exchanged a few words, Dumbledore waved his wand, and a velvet-covered table appeared at the front of the small classroom, and several referees sat down at this table.Several warriors sat down on chairs near the door.Lordana and the cameraman took a spot in the corner.
After everyone was seated, Dumbledore got up and introduced the old wizard "Mr. Ollivander" who came in with them, and explained that he would check everyone's wands to ensure that the wands of the warriors were in good condition before the game.
Ollivander checked Fleur's wand first. He found a Veela hair in it. Then he waved the wand and cast a few spells. After confirming that her wand was in good condition, he returned it to Fleur.
Next is Halia's wand. After Ollivander got Halia's wand, his face was obviously confused: "This is a product from Ollivander's wand shop, but it is strange that it is not My product, crafted the old-school way, was out in my dad's generation, weird, but it's in great shape.
"Ms. Malfoy, have you encountered any problems during use?" Ollivander asked.
Halia didn't realize for a moment that the "Ms. Malfoy" in Ollivander's mouth was her. After a pause for a few seconds, Halia shook her head: "Everything is normal when I use it, and I haven't encountered any problems."
"The wand chooses a wizard. Since there is no problem, it means that its vitality in your place is very tenacious." Ollivander nodded, and whispered to Halia's wand, "The stars are shining."
The tip of Halia's wand clicked in Ollivander's hand, and a string of stars burst out, lighting up the small classroom which had been darkened by the sky.
Ollivander nodded, and handed the wand back to Halia: "The wand is still in good condition, Ms. Malfoy. It's an honor to see the old-fashioned products of Ollivander's wand shop here."
Halia took back the wand, smiled at Ollivander, and said, "Thank you." Halia vaguely felt that Ollivander seemed hesitant to speak, but only at that moment, Halia felt that it might be because she was dazzled up.
Next Ollivander checked Krum's and Harry's wands.Krum's wand was made by Gregorovich, another excellent wand maker, and Harry's wand was bought at Ollivander's wand shop three years ago.Both wands are in very good condition.
Finally, Dumbledore stood up at the referee table, announced that the wand test was over, and told everyone that they could go back to class at this time, but it would be more convenient to go to eat, because it was almost time for get out of class to end.
Photographer Fu Zuo took out the video camera and reminded: "Dumbledore, take a picture!"
Bagman also excitedly talked about taking pictures with Dumbledore: "Dumbledore, how about taking a photo with the referee and the warrior?"
It took a long time for everyone to take a group photo, because Mrs. Maxime was too tall and the room was too small for the photographer to go very far, so it was difficult for Mrs. Maxime and everyone to fit into the same lens at the same time.In the end she had to sit down to take a photo with the crowd.
After the group photo was taken, it was time to take a solo photo of the warriors, and the group of people struggled for a long time before it was over.
Halia noticed that before Ollivander walked out of the small classroom, he seemed to walk in front of her inadvertently: "Miss Malfoy, if you have time in the future, welcome to Ollivander's wand shop to buy a new one." wand."
Halia was puzzled: "Is there something wrong with the wand I'm using now?"
Ollivander smiled at her reassuringly: "No, your wand is in good condition now, but it is too old. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be much better to have a spare on hand. In short, Ollivander's wand The store welcomes you."
After speaking, Ollivander walked out of the small classroom.
Only Halia, Lordana, and Harry were left in the small classroom.Harry wanted to leave a long time ago, he was not used to such a photo occasion, but Halia told him to wait.
