Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 76 Newt Scamander
It seemed that there were some disagreements on the distribution of fire dragons, so Garrick Ollivander had to change his original plan and stay in the reserve for three full days, and Xi Lun naturally followed him.

However, with Charlie, a dedicated guide, Xilun was not bored these days and visited many interesting places.

There was just one thing: he always felt that something was wrong with Charlie.

Is a dragon owner so idle? If he has time, he can play with him nearby for three consecutive days.

And every time Xi Lun wanted him to mind his own business and told him not to worry about him, Charlie would get nervous for no reason.

It seemed that he really didn't want Xiren to act alone.

Although Charlie explained that he was afraid that Xi Lun would be in danger, this explanation could only fool Neville.

Not to mention the power of the protected area itself, Dumbledore is also here at this moment. When Alistair said this to Garrick, Siren heard it clearly.

In addition, there are more than a dozen old wizards including Newt Scamander. With this lineup, even if Voldemort was resurrected on the spot, he would have to wait until the show here was over before he dared to come out and resume his old business.

Xilun even felt that the roars of fire dragons coming from the reserve had become much quieter in the past two days.

Xi Lun had reason to suspect that Charlie was lying, but he couldn't explain the reason. It couldn't be that he was worried that Charlie was planning to attack the fire dragon.

But it shouldn't be.

His grandfather had had a good cooperation with the Dragon Sanctuary for decades and had a good reputation. He himself was a second-year student at Hogwarts... no, before school started, he was not even a second-year student, still a first-year student, and when he stood there, he was not even as tall as the dragon's legs.

No matter how suspicious Charlie is, it is unlikely that he will be on guard against him.

Xi Lun, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, his purpose of this trip was not to take the fire dragon, so Charlie could follow if he wanted.

And after knowing that Xi Lun was also a Gryffindor, Charlie obviously talked a lot more. In addition to introducing the protected area, he also told him a lot about Hogwarts.

For example, several hidden entrances to secret passages, Filch's night patrol rules, the location of the Hogwarts kitchen... his words seemed to indicate that he was certain that Siren would violate the school rules.

Full of stereotypes.

However, he had said it all, so in order not to waste it, Xi Lun could only silently write down a lot of useful information.

It was not until noon of the third day that Xi Lun finally saw his grandfather again.

Standing with Garrick were two other people of the same age.

The one with the silver-white beard must be Dumbledore. The other man looked a little socially anxious. He stood a little awkwardly half a step behind Dumbledore. His tall and thin figure was slightly hunched, as if he wanted to hide himself in the slightly loose brown robe.

Even from a distance, Xi Lun could hear Dumbledore sigh.

"One thing leads to another. The new professor hasn't been found yet, and those pesky rats are back again. Newt, is your information accurate?"

"Well, it was Tina's old friend who said that several people disappeared from South America, but she didn't say whether they came to England." said the man in the brown robe.

"That shouldn't be wrong," Dumbledore said. "What happened half a month ago seemed to give them hope. Those souls still wallowing in darkness have never stopped searching for a way to revive him, eager to regain their former status and glory."

"Wait, Albus." Garrick frowned, "Aren't all those fanatical Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban?"

"There are too few Aurors, so there are always some who slip through the net." Dumbledore tapped the back of his hand with his slender fingers. "Also, the team Tom used to persuade the giants disappeared mysteriously after his downfall. And the Death Eaters he sent to find Salazar's wand were not in Britain at the time..."

"The bone wand that Salazar Slytherin crafted himself?" Garrick said, showing interest. "Isn't it in Ilvermorny?"

"So they never found it..." Dumbledore shook his head and did not continue speaking. Instead, he looked to the side and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Ollivander. Did you have a good holiday?"

"Great." said Xi Lun, who had just walked over.

"What a delightful answer," Dumbledore said with a smile, "Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Newt Scamander, the author of the must-have Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for freshmen." He is Newt Scamander?
Xi Lun looked at the other party curiously.

Newt subconsciously glanced away, and after a while he nodded at Xiren a little awkwardly.

He is really socially anxious!

Dumbledore seemed oblivious to his reserve and glanced up at Garrick, winking.

Garrick understood immediately.

"By the way, half of the unicorn hair I use to make my wand was provided by Newt... Speaking of which, I really should thank you."

Newt pursed his lips tightly, almost shrinking into his clothes, but after hearing Garrick's words, he had to bite the bullet and say, "No, no need... It's just daily combing... just the fallen tail hair..."

"You're probably the only one who can say that." Garrick smacked his lips, feeling that Newt had shown off to him.
He had spent half a year searching in the forests of Scandinavia this year, and finally found twelve unicorn tail hairs of sufficient length... but Newt said this amount was just enough for a routine combing.

"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Newt isn't the only one trusted by unicorns," Dumbledore said. He glanced at Cilan. "Isn't that right?"

"That's right." Siren shrugged. "When I make normal wands, the unicorn tail hair I use is provided by Hagrid."

Why does it feel weird? Why did he say "normal wand"?
Xiren scratched his hair.

Fortunately, no one else noticed that there was anything wrong with this sentence, and by then Dumbledore was already preparing to leave.

Newt looked relieved, and finally came out of his clothes a little bit.

"Garrick, if there is anything special happening in Diagon Alley, remember to write to me," Dumbledore said again.

"I'll keep an eye on them if they dare come to Diagon Alley," said Garrick.
Dumbledore nodded, and disappeared like mist blown away by the wind, taking Newt with him.

"We should go back too," Garrick said. He took out a branch and handed one end to Ciron. "The portkey Alistair gave me is activated at five o'clock, and there are still three minutes left."

It was indeed a door key. Xi Lun held the other end of the branch.

"Wait a moment, Siren, Mr. Ollivander."

Charlie ran over from not far away and handed two boxes to Xiren.

"The gift I promised you," he said. "Could you please pass the other one on to Ron for me? The owl post here is too expensive."

"Only for Ron?" asked Xi Lun.

"It's a form of compensation. He couldn't use his new wand because of me," said Charlie.

"Where are your other three brothers at Hogwarts? Oh, and there will be a new sister this year."

"I just spent my last Knut two minutes ago." Charlie spread his hands. "As for the others, I'll bring them some next time I go home."

"Okay, I'll try to keep it to Ron alone and not let them know."

"Phew, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

The door key began to vibrate slightly, and Ciron quickly put the box into his pocket, while telling Charlie, "Actually, Ron already has a new wand, and it's my work."
