Chapter 17: Surprise
After eating the apples, Kewen sat idly on the dining chair, recalling the movie memories that came to mind at that time.
But the memory picture is not coherent, only a limited number of scenes are still clear. I am afraid that you have to see the real scene with your own eyes to be as clear as when you first entered Diagon Alley.
At this time, Kewen moved his left ear slightly, and vaguely heard the sound of the bell of the magic wand shop. Continue to concentrate, and gradually heard Ollivander's footsteps.
immediately sit up and manage facial expressions.
Soon, the door of the restaurant opened and Ollivander's figure appeared.
For a moment, Ollivander looked at the cleanly eaten food on the table, but he did not expect that Kewen would eat so fast.
But Ollivander didn't think too much, only when Cowen was very hungry.
"Let’s simply eat some, and I’ll take you to eat some hearty in the evening." Ollivander stood at the door and did not enter the restaurant.
"This, this is very good." Kewen replied against his will.
"Well, while there are no guests now." Ollivander waved to Cowen: "Come and see what I bought for you."
"OK."
Kewen jumped off the high chair and followed Ollivander all the way back to the wand shop.
The two came to the bench in the hospitality area. Ollivander removed the thick paper boxes one by one from the shopping cart, and at the same time introduced: "This is a crucible, these are test tubes and crystal bottles, and inside is a telescope. , In the end this is the balance."
opened all the boxes one by one and showed them to Kewen, Ollivander closed all the boxes, and then took out the three thick greased paper bags from the shopping cart.
While unpacking the paper bag, Ollivander continued to introduce to Kewen: "These are the books you need for the first semester after enrolling in school..."
"That's right." Ollivander paused and asked Kewen: "Are you literate?"
"I..." Kewen hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "I don't know..."
"So..." Ollivander's hands continued, and he quickly took out a book, opened it casually, and handed it to Kewen: "Come and see, do you recognize the words on it."
Kewen raised his hand to take the book and looked at it, and found that it was only normal English, so he nodded to Ollivander: "Yes, sir, I can read."
"Okay, then you read it." Ollivander suggested.
Cowen turned his gaze back to the book, and randomly found a paragraph to read softly: "Emerick is a short-lived but extremely cruel dark wizard. He had a lot of power in southern England in the early Middle Ages. He was defeated by opponents in a very **** duel. Egbert killed."
"It's okay." Ollivander interrupted, digging through the pile of books to find another one: "Try this one again."
"Okay." Kewen closed the book in his hand, and it became clear that the book in his hand was "History of Magic".
Putting "History of Magic" on the bench, Cowen took the new book from Ollivander, and first looked at the cover, which read "Standard Spells, Elementary" by Miranda Gosak.
lowered his head slightly, concealing the look of surprise and expectation in his eyes, Kewen opened the book, slowly turning pages, the contents of which made Kewen secretly frowned.
"What's the matter?" Ollivander asked without seeing Cowen's reaction.
"No, nothing." Shaking his head slightly, Kewen stopped turning the page, looked at the content of the current page in the book, and began to recite: "Yugadim... Leviosa. This spell is used to make the magic target float..."
"Stop it." Ollivander's surprised voice sounded.
"I, did something go wrong, sir?" Kewen stopped reading the content of the book, and looked up at Ollivander incomprehensibly.
"Do you...recognize the spell above?" Ollivander's silver-white eyebrows were a little frowned, looking puzzled.
"Um... Yugardim... Leviosa has never seen the word before, so I tried to read it in Old English phonetic transcription and Latin phonetic transcription, but it didn’t work well. Finally, I tried to read both phonetic symbols. I only pronounced the word just now. Did I pronounce it wrong?"
Seeing the cautious expression on Kewen's face, Ollivander's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and then his face was slightly surprised and said: "No, that's right, but I didn't expect you to be so... erudite. You read this spell. Yeah...very accurate. But don't pause in the middle, read it all at once."
"That's how it is." Kewen's face was stunned, and then he spoke again: "Yugadim Leviosa."
As soon as 's voice fell, something surprised Kewen and shocked Ollivander.
I saw the store vibrating as if an earthquake occurred. All light objects that were not fixed began to slowly float upward, and the wand boxes fixed in the shelf all made a collision sound.
"My God!" Ollivander's eyes widened in shock.
However, as a glass lamp floated to the ceiling and collided and shattered, Ollivander suddenly returned to his senses, quickly took out his wand from his arms, pointed it in the air and drank: "The curse stops!"
As Ollivander’s spell exited, the various things that were floating upwards in the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com store suddenly began to fall backwards.
At the same time, Kewen, who was sluggish, also felt that the sense of ‘connected with everything’ that had suddenly appeared just now was cut off.
"Float!" At this time, Ollivander cast a spell again, sipping out the same ‘Yugadim Leviosa’ as Kewen.
Suddenly, all the falling things seemed to be in a state of weightlessness. Following the guidance of Ollivander's wand, one by one fell back to the original place.
"Restore as before."
Finally, Ollivander cast a new spell again and pointed at the broken glass lampshade. As if going back in time, the lampshade is restored to its original state.
"Magic…"
The scene in front of him made Kewen forget to maintain the personality for a while, and he couldn't help sighing.
"No." In response, Ollivander shook his head and looked at Cowen again with a sigh: "You are the most amazing one..."
Kewen was surprised when he heard the words, and quickly sorted out his facial expressions, and looked at Ollivander with a gesture of'doing something wrong'.
Ollivander stared at Cowen with a fixed gaze. For a long while, not knowing what the heavens were fighting in his heart, after a light sigh, his tone was unprecedentedly gentle and enthusiastic: "Let’s leave the rest alone. It seems that we have to choose for you first. What a magic wand."
Without waiting for Kewen’s answer, Ollivander immediately walked to the cash register. At the same time, he said in a popular voice: “In the eyes of most people, the magic wand is used to enhance the wizard’s ability to cast spells. But only a few people have a deep understanding. The wand can also help wizards and control magic that they cannot control temporarily."
Picking up the tape measure from the cash register, Ollivander turned his head and smiled to look at Kewen: "Come on, let's start by measuring the size for you..."
