Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 81 Luna and Snorlax Stickers
"Highly recommended! Only five Sickles are needed to make your wand unique!"

At the corner of Diagon Alley, a girl with long light blonde hair looked at the eye-catching colorful sign in front of her. A hint of curiosity flashed in her silver-gray eyes, and then she tugged at the sleeve of the man next to her.

"Dad, I want to go and see." Her voice was light.

"Of course, dear," Xenophilius Lovegood said with a smile. "We're going to buy wands anyway."

As soon as the two turned into the alley next to them, Xenophilius froze in place.

In front of him was a long line that snaked out from the store entrance and almost reached the main street.

"Honey, are we at Flourish and Blotts yet?" He took off his glasses, wiped them vigorously on his robe, and put them back on.

Because a very famous wizard was holding a book signing event in Diagon Alley, there had been a long queue at Flourish and Blotts since yesterday, just like the situation in front of us.

"No, Dad, look, doesn't that say Ollivander's Wand Shop?" Luna Lovegood pointed to the small sign on the store door in the distance.

"Ah, I see..." said Mr. Lovegood blankly, "But since when do wand shops have queues?"

Although she didn't understand, Luna wanted to go in and take a look, so it didn't matter if she had to wait in line for a while.

People kept coming out of the wand shop, and the team moved forward little by little.

At this time, Mr. Lovegood also noticed that not all the people coming out of the store were freshmen. Most of them were students in the third grade or above, and a small number of adult wizards.

What was even more striking was that when everyone walked out of the store, they would immediately take out their wands and hold them up to the light to examine them carefully, with an unconcealable joy on their faces, as if they were seeing the wand for the first time.

But it was obviously impossible for a wizard of that age to buy a wand for the first time. Could it be that he was getting a new one?
It's okay for one person to get a new wand, but it's impossible for so many people to change their wands. When did wands become consumables?

Full of doubts, the two finally reached the front of the line, pushed open the door and walked into the small shop.

"Ding ding..."

The doorbell jingled.

The counter in the store was divided into two parts. On the left stood the familiar Mr. Garrick Ollivander, and on the right stood an unfamiliar young wizard who should be a little older than Luna.

"Oh, finally a new student." After seeing the two of them, Garrick Ollivander's face immediately showed excitement.

Because he was too excited, he didn't tell Mr. Lovegood's wand data at the first time. He only remembered it when he was measuring Luna's arm and quickly added it in.

"Mr. Ollivander, has anything serious happened recently?"

"What big thing do you mean?"

"Like... getting lots of people to buy wands again," said Mr. Lovegood.

"Of course not. The wizarding world has always been peaceful," Garrick said. "But I think I understand what you mean."

"Xi Lun, please explain."

"No problem." Xi Lun looked at the father and daughter in front of him and skillfully took out a few things.

"We have launched some new wand decorations, including stickers and coloring sprays, which are affordable and very popular."

Mr. Lovegood looked at the stickers and bottles on the table and said, "So those people were lining up just to buy these?"

"That's right." Xi Lun nodded. "New students can get a 50% discount on their first item. Do you want to pick one?"

"How much."

"After the sticker discount, one Sikor and five Galleons of color spray."

"At a Sickle, it's really not expensive." Mr. Lovegood nodded thoughtfully.

"And the dye spray is five Galleons." Xilun reminded, but got no response.

"Do you have any Crumple-Horned Snorlax stickers?" Luna asked. "What?" Siren turned around and took a good look at the new student for the first time.

She had light blond hair, slightly bulging grey eyes, and an exaggerated carrot earring on her ear.

"Crumple-Horned Snorlax," she repeated. "I saw it said outside that you can customize stickers of various Fantastic Beasts."

"You'll need a photo for this," Xi Lun said after a moment's thought. "I've never seen a Scimitar-Horned Snorlax, so I can't just create one based on my imagination."

"I haven't seen it either," Luna said. "Dad and I have been looking for it."

"That's right," Mr. Lovegood said with a smile. "It's a pity that Luna will be going to Hogwarts soon, otherwise I might take her to the Swedish forest to look for clues."

"Then I wish you can find the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax soon." Xilun said with a smile.

"You've seen a Scimitar-Horned Snorlax, right?" Luna walked up to Siren, ignoring the ruler still measuring her shoulders. "Besides me and Dad, you're the third person to have seen one..."

"No, I haven't seen a Scimitar-Horned Snorlax. I've said that before." Xiren shook his head.

"Then why didn't you refute us?" Luna continued. "Those who have never seen a Scimitar-Horned Snorlax refute us and say that such a magical creature does not exist."

"Because someone once said that magic has everything possible," said Siren. "I suggest you write a letter to Mr. Newt Scamander. He is the most powerful expert on magical animals and has definitely been to the Swedish forest."

"That's a good idea," said Luna. "But I don't know Mr. Scamander's address, do you?"

"I don't know either," Xi Lun said. "But it doesn't matter. Maybe the owl that delivers the message will find it."

Luna thought seriously for a moment and nodded vigorously.

"it is good."

"Dad, I want to buy an owl."

……

Finally, Mr. Lovegood paid seven Galleons a Sickle and left the wand shop... and Luna bought a unicorn sticker.

As the store door was about to close, he couldn't help but look back at the two people behind the counter, especially Xi Lun.

He felt that the child was neurotic and his thinking process was different from that of normal people.

How can an owl deliver a letter without knowing the address?

In other words, Luna was kind and didn't expose him in person.

However, he could buy an owl to make it easier for him to communicate with his daughter. Although Hogwarts also has messengers, they are definitely not as convenient as his own.

……

In the wand shop, after the two left, Garrick couldn't help but ask, "Xiren, what was that crescent-horned beast they were talking about?"

The old wand maker had been dealing with magical creatures for decades, but he didn't understand what they were talking about at all.

"Who knows? Maybe it's a relative of the horned camel." Xilun shrugged.

"Oh, I thought you knew."

"To give customers a good shopping experience." Xilun picked up the silver coin on the table.

It’s not easy to make some money, and you also have to entertain the little girls.
