Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 85 Conflict
That afternoon, Xi Lun finished queuing three hours early, but still generously gave everyone five Sickles.

Anyway, 80% of the team at this time are our own people, so there is no point in continuing.

When the number of people decreased, the remaining work could be handed over to grandfather Garrick to help. As for Siren, he left the wand shop by himself and came to the main street of Diagon Alley.

The book signing event at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is still going on, and there is still a large crowd gathered at the door, and they are all serious customers.

"Young Harry came to Flourish and Blotts today, just wanting to buy my autobiography..." When Xi Lun passed by the door, he just heard Lockhart's triumphant voice coming from inside.

"I am willing to give him this book for free... including a precious, pure gold wand sticker of my own..."

The crowd applauded and cheered, praising Lockhart's generosity.

Xi Lun outside the door also applauded.

Lockhart was indeed generous. The customized gold stickers and ordinary stickers together made Xiren earn more than a hundred Galleons in total. He was still willing to be the atmosphere group.

Xi Lun applauded while observing the situation in the store.

Harry was taking a photo with Lockhart, and the people from the Daily Prophet were taking photos. Not far away, two people with the same platinum blond hair just walked into the bookstore.
Draco Malfoy looked at Harry in the crowd, and his face turned ugly in an instant.

It seems he arrived just in time.

Xi Lun felt relieved.

When he saw Ginny Weasley in the store before, he suddenly realized that something very important was going to happen today.

Voldemort's first Horcrux, the crucial diary, will be brought to Diagon Alley by Lucius Malfoy today.

Xi Lun came here for the diary.

He didn't care for any all-encompassing encyclopedia of spells; Tom Riddle couldn't answer what he wanted to know.

For example, how to make a wand that can surpass the Elder Wand, or how to make a directional wand...

Did Tom Riddle know this?

He definitely doesn't know.

Of course, Xi Lun didn't care. What he cared about was Voldemort's soul in the diary.

There was half of Voldemort's soul in it, and both its mass and size were incomparable to what the unicorn had torn off.

Xi Lun had it all planned out.

Before school starts, have the unicorn divide as many souls in the diary as possible, keeping half for backup and using the other half to find other suitable materials for the wand.

Xi Lun wanted to know whether the problem with that disposable wand was the core or the body.

If it is the core of the stick, will there be any changes if you choose a different stick body?

After all, Voldemort was known as the Dark Lord, and he almost overturned the British wizarding world. It was impossible that the only deadly magic he mastered was Avada Kedavra, but this curse was the simplest and most convenient to use.

By then, he would have more than a dozen different two-inch wands with him. Even if Voldemort really came back to life, he might not be able to do anything to him.

Xi Lun thought to himself and squeezed into Flourish and Blotts.

What happened next was just as he thought. Draco Malfoy deliberately made trouble for Harry and Ron, and the atmosphere around them began to become tense.
Then the adults from both sides came on stage, and the tension at the scene reached its peak.

However, the two families are sworn enemies, and almost every time they meet, they will make sarcastic remarks to each other, and no one can get the upper hand.

So Lucius took a different approach and turned his attention to Hermione's parents, attempting to use their Muggle status to belittle the Weasley family. However, the contempt and disdain he showed from the bottom of his heart was so strong that even Ciarán frowned. The arrogance of pure-bloods was fully displayed in Malfoy.

"Look at the friends you've made, Weasley... I thought your family had fallen as low as it could go."

"So you are mocking William I?" Xi Lun couldn't help but say something, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Most people were puzzled and didn't understand why Xi Lun suddenly mentioned William I.

Lucius was also looking at Xiren, but unlike the others, his eyes suddenly became cold.

"What did you say?"

"William I, don't you know?" Xi Lun shrugged.

"Oh, maybe you know one of his Muggle friends... no, I should say one of his Muggle subordinates, and the other party happens to have the same last name..."

"shut up!"

Lucius suddenly burst into a hysterical scream, the shrill scream drowned out Xiren's subsequent words. Before people could recover, he pounced on Xiren like a madman.

"How dare you, how dare you...!"

At this moment, he completely shattered the mask of a pure-blood nobleman that he had carefully maintained. All his elegance and decency were gone. His platinum-blond hair drooped messily in front of his forehead, and his pale face was twisted with rage. Even Draco Malfoy, who was standing next to him, was startled, not understanding why his father had suddenly become so angry.

But before Lucius could get close to Xiren, another person pounced on him.

When Lucius was belittling the Granger family, Arthur Weasley wanted to take action, but was interrupted by Ciron.

The emotions are still there, so it’s time to continue.

And the reasons were ready. Lucius Malfoy went crazy in the street and tried to hurt the little wizard, and he stopped him in time.

Lucius was beaten, and Draco Malfoy instinctively wanted to attack Mr. Weasley, and then Ron naturally joined the battlefield.

Then there were Fred and George, who were eager to see the world in chaos, and Harry, who wanted to stop the fight but accidentally stepped on Malfoy three times.

The entire Flourish and Blotts bookstore was instantly thrown into chaos.

And all this started because Xi Lun mentioned William I.

But most people had forgotten about it. Like Mr. Weasley, they all thought that Lucius had suddenly gone crazy.

"Don't do this - gentlemen - don't do this -" the clerk shouted helplessly as he looked at the overturned bookshelves one by one.

Then a loud voice, drowning out all the other sounds, said, "Disperse, gentlemen—"

Hagrid strode in, stepping over the books scattered on the floor, and separated the group of people on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Lucius had a black eye, a broken mouth, and his hair was a mess like a bird's nest.

Draco wasn't in much better shape, and there were several obvious footprints on his body.

In contrast, the Weasley family was much better off. With an absolute advantage of five to two, they were only a little disheveled.

"Who are you?!" Lucius asked Xiren coldly.

"What a coincidence! Someone asked me the same question some time ago, and you know that person." Xi Lun thought of the ghost of Voldemort who was hit by the unicorn. At that time, he was just like Lucius, and asked his name in angrily.

But at that time, Xi Lun not only didn't answer, he didn't even look at him.

"Cieron Ollivander, we've met before, but you obviously don't remember it." Cieron said with a smile, "If you have any doubts about what I just said, I can also provide specific evidence, such as the wizard register of the eleventh century."

"Olivander..." Lucius's expression turned blue and red, then he ignored Siren and turned his head to look at Arthur Weasley on the other side.

Mr. Weasley stiffened his neck and looked him in the eye. "What do you want?"

Lucius didn't say anything, but just picked up a tattered Transfiguration textbook on the ground. It was this book that had just bruised his eye.

He threw the book into the empty crucible in Ginny's hand in anger. Because he threw the book with too much force, Ginny lost her grip and the crucible fell to the ground with a bang.

But Lucius didn't even glance at it.

"This matter is not over yet, let's wait and see!"

He glanced at Siren again, waved to Draco, and rushed out of the shop.

People from the Daily Prophet also immediately began to crowd outside. They were very curious about why Malfoy suddenly went crazy.

Even Hagrid's size and record of deterrence could not scare them away from their pursuit of the truth.

"Where are you going? Come back, come back soon..." Seeing that the front-page headline was about to fly away, Lockhart could no longer sit still. He grabbed the short photographer and dragged him to the door.

The scene became chaotic again.

"Let's get out quickly." Hagrid frowned, and this suggestion was also agreed by others.

"Let me help you." Xiren found the cauldron that Ginny had just dropped in the chaos.

"Thank you." Ginny said politely.

But when she left Flourish and Blotts and was about to take back her cauldron, she saw Xi Lun standing motionless at the door and subconsciously asked:

"what happened to you?"

No one answered.

Xi Lun held a tattered "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide" in his hand and stared blankly at the empty crucible - there was no diary.

There was nothing inside except the "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide".
