Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 10: Actually, we are all mixed-blood
Twenty minutes later, Hermione finally knew what the means of transportation was that Xiren was talking about.

She never dreamed that freshmen would have to take a boat to school. At the same time, she also saw the towering castle standing at the end of the lake.

The windows twinkle under the starry sky, mysterious and beautiful.

Most of the other freshmen were also attracted by this scene and stood there in a daze.

"Hurry up, freshmen, if you want to sit in the warm castle and enjoy a good dinner, get on board quickly."

"But be careful, there can be no more than four people on each boat!"

"Harry, you come here, and the rest follow." Hagrid guided the freshmen in an orderly manner.

"Hey, I know you."

Xi Lun raised his head and looked at the boy who was talking opposite him.

He has platinum blonde hair, a pale complexion, and looks arrogant and a little mean.

He seemed to be fighting with someone and seemed to have suffered a loss, so his tone was a bit aggressive when he spoke.

"I remember you," he repeated. "You're the one from the wand shop, aren't you?"

"Yes." Xi Lun said, looking at the other two boys next to him, who were sturdy and strong, like two wooden blocks.

"Oh, this is Crabbe, and this is Goyle." The boy said, "I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, I guess you are the same kind of person as us..."

Xiren raised an eyebrow, "If you mean pure-blood, yes."

"You must know me, then?" Malfoy continued, "or are you just as stupid and ignorant as some people are."

His voice suddenly became much louder, as if he was deliberately speaking to someone.

Xi Lun guessed it was the boat next to them, or to be more precise, the one sitting on the left with Harry Potter having a scar on his forehead.

However, he must have lost his mind by showing off his family's fame here.

"Let me introduce myself, Ciarán Ollivander." Ciarán looked at Malfoy, who was a little proud, and suddenly couldn't help but smile.

"In fact, when Malfoy I rose to power, Ollivander had already existed on this land for 1,800 years. Do you understand what I mean?"

There was a sudden silence on the boat.

Then, a clear, undisguised laugh came from next door.

Malfoy's originally pale face turned red in an instant.

Even when he was humiliated by Harry Potter on the train, his face had never turned so red. He didn't expect to be "humiliated" here, but when he thought about it carefully, what the other person said was absolutely right.

Xi Lun also wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

All I can say is that Malfoy brought this upon himself.

In terms of the amount of gold, the Ollivander family would probably be at the bottom of all pure-blood families.

But if you're talking about inheritance and family history, I'm sorry, there isn't a single pure-blood family in the whole of Britain that can compete, including Hogwarts and even Merlin.

Hogwarts was founded a thousand years ago, in the tenth century.

The legend of Merlin and King Arthur in the sixth century.

And Ollivanders... it says on the sign, 382 BC, more than nine hundred years before Merlin.

Xi Lun looked at Malfoy, whose face flushed red, and spread his hands. "Tsk, you've seen me in the wand shop before, why bother..."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the temperature around me seems to have gotten a little warmer.

However, Xi Lun did not want to embarrass Malfoy, so he took the initiative to extend his hand and said:
"Formally introduce myself, Ciarán Ollivander, and I do know you... hawthorn wood, unicorn hair, ten inches, correct?"

The steps that Xi Lun handed over were very timely, and Malfoy's expression returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He really wanted to slap the hand away, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea and reached out his hand.

"Draco Malfoy." "You already said that."

"You will definitely be sorted into Slytherin." Malfoy immediately changed the subject.

"Maybe," said Xi Lun.

Again, do you understand the value of 382 BC?

In other words, Ollivander never cared about anything other than the wand. Otherwise, if the topic really came up, even Salazar Slytherin himself would have had to sit in the back row.

But that thing is meaningless. If you count a few generations ago, everyone is mixed-race.

However, after the handshake and peace were made here, people on the boat next door were much more disappointed.

"I thought Malfoy was going to get a lecture." Ron sighed, but soon grinned, "But this is not bad. Did you see it just now? Malfoy's face is redder than a train."

"Ah, I see." Harry Potter nodded.

"Wait a minute." At this time, Hermione, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly said, "Does the Ollivander family really have a history of 1,800 years?"

"Well, maybe." Ron scratched his hair.

To be honest, he didn't quite know.

He only knew that the name Ollivander was very famous, and that the wands used by his family were all made by Ollivander, including his grandfather and his grandfather's grandfather.

As for how many years has Ollivanders existed?

Who has no business understanding those things?

The four people on the boat fell into silence... No one knew what they were thinking. On the contrary, Ciaran and Malfoy were chatting quite happily.

In just a short while, Malfoy had asked three times in a row whether it was really possible to turn the wand into silver-green.

In response to this, Xi Lun, who "accidentally" let the secret slip, shrugged and said that they were still under research, the technology was not mature, and they needed to be patient.

"I'll pay more, any amount of Galleons is fine!" Malfoy patted his chest.

Silver background with green stripes, the same color scheme as the Slytherin logo. This is a must, otherwise it won’t be Slytherin!

The boat passed through the center of the lake, and the bright moonlight illuminated the blush on Malfoy's face, but this time it was due to excitement.

Xi Lun looked at the thirty Galleons deposit in his hand and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Sure enough, his previous idea worked, and the money he got from Hogwarts was really easy to cheat... and easy to make.

……

In this strange atmosphere, the boat finally reached the other side.

Hagrid walked in front, walked up the stone steps, raised a huge fist, and knocked on the castle gate three times.

The door opened and Professor McGonagall, with a serious expression, appeared in front of everyone, ready to lead the freshmen into the hall.

Xi Lun was still at the end. When he walked into the castle, Hagrid, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.

"Are the things you said in the wand shop true?" He said in a deliberately low voice, and at the same time looked nervously at the castle, as if he was afraid that what he said just now would be heard by Professor McGonagall.

However, Professor McGonagall had already entered the auditorium and naturally could not hear what he said.

"what?"

"It's... my umbrella..." Hagrid looked even more nervous and subconsciously touched his coat pocket.

"Oh, of course it's true," said Siren, "if you need it."

"I live near the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid said quickly, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
