Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 43: Galian and Lila (Please read)

Before this, Xi Lun had never known that Ron's voice was so penetrating that it could be heard clearly across several dormitories.

It seems that Hedwig lived up to Harry's expectations and flew back in time before Christmas.

In this way, he could accept the seven Galleons given by Harry with peace of mind.

Strictly speaking, this was Harry's second wand, so he couldn't get a discount. But since it was for Ron, Siren didn't mind it. He just mentioned it in a letter to his grandfather, asking him to credit the wand to Ron Weasley.

It will also be convenient to ask the Ministry of Magic for wand subsidies at that time.

They won't suffer any loss anyway.

Five minutes passed and Ron was still yelling, but Xiren ignored him and continued to open his present.

The second long box was a gift from his grandfather. Inside was a piece of yellow and brown wood with a layer of brown, grid-like scales on the surface. At first glance, it looked like snake scales.

Xi Lun took the branch in his hand in surprise. Alsophila spinulosa, also known as snakewood, looks like a tree, but it is a fern.

It is also for this reason that it is almost impossible to find Bowtruckles on snakewood trees. Only a very small number of trees may be favored by them by chance and become magical wood that can be made into magic wands.

It is worth mentioning that Salazar Slytherin's wand is made of snakewood.

And the thing that his grandfather gave him as a Christmas gift could not be an ordinary snake wood.

Xilun rubbed his chin. It seemed that his grandfather had found something good again during the time he was in school.

After school is over, I’ll have to find another excuse to go to the warehouse again.

While thinking, Xi Lun opened the third package...

It was a huge bag of candy from Hermione, not the Honeydukes kind, but Muggle candy, in five or six different flavors.

And five Galleons from Harry (a truly unpretentious, yet thoughtful gift)

In addition, Ron gave a quill pen, Neville gave a chocolate frog picture card, and Seamus gave pet dried fish slices with a cat pictured on the packaging (Cielen suspected that Tom would never eat such junk food).

Professor McGonagall also sent a gift, twenty issues of "Transfiguration Today" magazine.

Xi Lun was very puzzled as to how the professor was able to return the gift so accurately.

He gave Professor McGonagall a wand as a gift without asking in advance, but Professor McGonagall returned the gift and was the only professor who gave him a gift.

House-elves? Or name magic?

Xi Lun didn't think much about it, picked up a magazine and walked out of the dormitory.

Outside, Fred and George were urging their brother to wear a burgundy sweater. They themselves were wearing the same style, only blue with two extra letters on the chest.

George is a yellow "F" and Fred is a yellow "G".

It must have been designed by Mrs. Weasley to distinguish them.

But apparently, this design didn't work at all, and they deliberately put the sweater on inside out.

Xi Lun walked past the others and came to the common room. He planned to go to Hagrid first to see if there was anyone there, and then go to the Great Hall.

However, just as Xi Lun walked down the spiral staircase, he suddenly froze and looked at the middle-aged man with glasses sitting in the armchair in disbelief.

At this moment, Xiren thought that he didn't sleep well last night and was a little dazzled, otherwise how could he see his father in the Gryffindor common room.

This must be fake...

"Hey, Xi Lun, what are you doing standing there?" The man smiled and waved his hand. "No, it's true!"

"What's real?" Garion Ollivander smiled and pushed up his glasses. "Why, is it strange to see me?"

"It's very strange." Xi Lun said, "Wait, you are here, my mother won't also..."

"She's over there in the girls' dormitory," Garion said with a smile.

"Fine……"

Xi Lun took a deep breath, and it took him a while to accept that his Christmas gift was suddenly seeing his parents at school. Then he couldn't help but think about what he had done recently. Only after he was sure that there was no possibility of his parents being called to school did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?"

"It's like making up for it. After all, we weren't here when you started school," Garian said. "It's rare for me to come back to England, so I had to come see you. Since you're not going home during the holidays, it's the same for us to come to school. Oh, your mother is here too."

As they were talking, Xi Lun's mother, Lila Ollivander, also walked over from the direction of the girls' dormitory and gave Xi Lun a hug when they met.

"Dear, don't worry about what your old-fashioned grandfather thinks." Lila kissed Xiren's forehead. "I've asked around, and Gryffindor is pretty good too."

She still remembered the letter Xi Lun sent her at the beginning of the school year.

"What's this about a foolhardy school? That happened so many years ago, and not everyone is Godric Gryffindor. Could it be that Minerva is also foolhardy?"

"My grandfather doesn't really mind it that much." Xi Lun defended himself.

"But how did you get in?" Xi Lun couldn't help but express his confusion. "I remember Hogwarts generally doesn't allow students and parents to come in and out casually."

"It's not allowed, but we have another way." Garion said, "We have been friends with Pomona Sprout for many years. Dumbledore will definitely not refuse us to visit an old friend during Christmas."

"Of course, I can come and see you too," Lila said. She looked at the layout of the common room again, then turned and whispered to Garion, "You're right, this place is a bit worse than Beauxbatons."

"I heard it." Xi Lun curled his lips.

In fact, before he decided to come to Hogwarts, his schooling had always been the focus of debate in the family.

His grandfather definitely supports Hogwarts, his mother Lila thinks Beauxbatons is the best school, and she has brought in the grandmothers of Garion and Siren to form the largest force, and finally there is his aunt, a supporter of Ilvermorny.

Every time the three parties talked about this topic, they would argue endlessly. In the end, it was Xi Lun himself who chose Hogwarts, putting an end to this war without gunpowder.

"School has already started for me. I can't transfer to Beauxbatons." Siren spread his hands and said, not wanting to continue this topic.

Just at this time, several Weasley children and Harry also came to the common room.

They were also very surprised and confused about the appearance of Xiren's parents in the common room.

But the clever Weasley didn't ask anything. Fred and George even greeted the two of them warmly and offered to act as tour guides.

However, this proposal was rejected by Garrian and Lila, who took out the Christmas gifts they had prepared in advance and gave them to everyone.

A dried bubble pod.

When this thing falls to the ground, it will bounce and roll uncontrollably, like a magic version of a bouncy ball. It is considered a fashionable toy among wizards.

Xi Lun also received a bouncy ball as a Christmas gift. In this respect, they treated each other equally.
