Chapter 17: Surprise
Chapter 17: Surprise
After eating the apple, Coven sat idly on the dining chair, recalling the movie scenes that appeared in his mind at that time.
However, the memories were not coherent, only a few scenes were still clear, and the rest would probably have to see the real scene with his own eyes to be as clear as to when he first entered the Diagon Alley.
At this time, Coven's left ear moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the doorbell of the magic staff shop. He continued to focus and gradually heard the footsteps of Ollivander.
He immediately sat up straight and managed his facial expression.
Soon, the door of the restaurant opened, and Ollivander appeared.
Ollivander was slightly stunned. He looked at the food on the table that had been eaten clean, but he did not expect that Coven would eat so fast.
However, Ollivander did not think too much about it. He just thought that Coven was very hungry.
"Let's have a simple meal first. I will take you to have a sumptuous meal at night." Ollivander stood at the door and did not enter the restaurant.
"This, this is very good," Coven responded against his heart.
"Alright, there are no guests now." Ollivander waved to Coven, "Come over and see what I bought for you."
"Okay."
Coven jumped off the high chair and followed Ollivander back to the wand shop.
The two of them came to the bench in the waiting area. Ollivander took off the thick cardboard boxes one by one from the shopping cart and introduced them at the same time, "This is a crucible. These are test tubes and crystal bottles. There are binoculars inside, and the last one is the scale."
After opening all the boxes one by one and showing them to Coven, Ollivander covered all the boxes and then took out three thick oiled paper bags from the shopping cart.
While unpacking the paper bags, Ollivander continued to introduce to Coven, "These are the books you need for the first semester since you entered the school..."
"Oh right." Ollivander paused and asked Coven, "Can you read?"
"I..." Coven hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know..."
"Then..." Ollivander continued his movements and quickly took out a book. He casually flipped it open and handed it to Coven, "Come and take a look. Do you recognize the words on it?"
Coven took the book and looked at it. He found that it was only in normal English, so he nodded to Ollivander, "Yes, sir. I know words."
"Okay, then read it," Ollivander suggested.
Coven turned his gaze back to the book and casually found a paragraph to read softly. "Emok is a short-lived but extremely ferocious black wizard. In the early Middle Ages, there were many forces in the south of England. He was killed by his opponent in an extremely bloody duel by Elbert."
"That's enough." Ollivander interrupted and took out another book from the pile of books. "Try this one again."
"Okay." Coven closed the book in his hand. Only then did he understand that the book in his hand was called "History of Magic".
Putting "History of Magic" on the bench, Coven took the new book from Ollivander's hands and looked at the cover first. On it was written "Magic Standard Spell, Beginner Level", Miranda Goshawk.
Lowering his head slightly to hide the surprise and expectation in his eyes, Coven opened the book and slowly flipped the pages one by one. The content of the pages made Coven frown secretly.
"What's wrong?" Ollivander asked without seeing Coven's reaction.
"No, it's nothing." Shaking his head slightly, Coven stopped flipping the pages. Looking at the current page of the book, he began to read, "Wing-GAR-dee-um Leh-vee-OH-sa... This spell is used to make magic targets float..."
"Stop for a moment." Ollivander's surprised voice sounded.
"Am, am I wrong, sir?" Coven stopped reading the contents of the book and looked up at Ollivander, puzzled.
"You... know the incantations on it?" Ollivander's silver-white eyebrows furrowed, and his face was puzzled.
"Well... I haven't seen the word Wingardium Leviosa before So I tried to read it with the ancient English grammar and Latin grammar method, but I felt it was not smooth. In the end, I tried to combine the two grammar methods to read the words just now. Was I wrong?"
Looking at the cautious expression on Coven's face, Ollivander was in a trance for a moment. Then, he said with a slightly surprised expression, "No, that's right. It's just that I didn't expect you to be so... knowledgeable." "You read this spell well... very accurately. But don't stop in the middle. You have to read it in one breath."
"So that's how it is." Coven's expression suddenly changed, and then he said again, "Wingardium Leviosa."
As soon as he finished speaking, a situation that shocked Coven and Ollivander appeared.
The shop began to shake as if there was an earthquake. All the objects without a fixed weight began to float upwards slowly. The magic staff boxes fixed on the shelves all made a collision sound.
"My god!"
Ollivander widened his eyes in shock.
However, as a glass lamp floated to the ceiling and shattered, Ollivander suddenly came back to his senses. He quickly took out his wand from his bosom and pointed it at the air. He shouted, "Stop the spell!"
As Ollivander chanted the spell, the various objects floating upwards in the shop suddenly began to fall backward.
At the same time, Coven, who was in a daze, also felt that the feeling..
"Float!"
At this time, Ollivander cast a spell again, and suddenly, all the falling objects seemed to have fallen into a heavy state. With the guidance of Ollivander's wand, they fell back to their original places.
"Restore it to its original state."
In the end, Ollivander cast a new spell again and pointed at the broken glass light cover, as if time was flowing backward, restoring the light cover to its original state.
"Amazing..."
The scene in front of him made Coven momentarily forget to maintain a human image, and he could not help but sigh.
"No." In this regard, Ollivander shook his head and looked at Coven again with a sigh. "You are the most amazing one..."
Hearing this, Coven was shocked. He hurriedly adjusted his facial expression and carefully looked at Ollivander with a posture of 'doing something wrong'.
Ollivander stared at Coven for a long time, and it was unknown what was going on in his heart.
After a light sigh, his tone was unprecedentedly gentle and warm. "Don't worry about anything else. It seems that we have to choose a wand for you first."
Without waiting for Coven to answer, Ollivander immediately went to the cashier. At the same time, he said in a popular tone, "In the eyes of most people, the wand is used to enhance the wizard's ability to cast spells. But only a few people deeply realize that the wand can also help wizards to control the magic that they can't control for the time being."
Picking up the tape measure from the cashier, Ollivander turned to look at Coven with a smile, "Come, let's start with measuring your size..."
