Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 86 The gap between wizards

Everyone decided to go back to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink, and Xi Lun went with them, but he was absent-minded the whole way.

"Hey, Siren, what are you thinking about?"

Xi Lun felt someone pull his arm hard and suddenly woke up. Only then did he realize that they had arrived at the Leaky Cauldron.

But he still walked forward out of habit, otherwise Fred would have grabbed his arm and he might have bumped into the door in front of him.

"Thank you," said Xi Lun.

"You're welcome." Fred looked at Xiren and asked curiously, "But what were you thinking about just now? You ignored us when we spoke to you."

"Thinking about something else." Siren said. He looked at Ginny who was stealing glances at Harry, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and asked.

"Excuse me, Ginny, did you see a diary with a black cover when you were at Flourish and Blotts?"

"Son, did you lose your diary?" Mr. Weasley, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "Did you drop it at Flourish and Blotts? Let's go back and help you find it."

"No, I don't know." Siren said perfunctorily, staring at Ginny.

The little witch frowned and thought hard for a while, then shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, but if it contains your diary, I'd be happy to help you find it."

She looked serious, so she probably wasn't lying.

"Oh, no need." Xi Lun shook his head and said, "It's just an empty notebook. It doesn't matter if it's lost."

"If you don't mind, we can give you a new one." A man in formal attire came over. It was Hermione's father.

Although Mr. Granger knew nothing about the wizarding world or the so-called wizarding families, he could tell that the child was speaking for them.

It is reasonable for them to express their gratitude.

The diary is a good topic, but I wonder if this little wizard will use their diary... Muggle? I think that's what they call it.

"Ah, thank you." Xi Lun didn't pay attention to what he said and nodded perfunctorily again.

"Sorry, I may have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Xi Lun waved his hand and without waiting for anyone to say anything, he turned around and returned to Diagon Alley.

Instead of going anywhere else, he returned to Flourish and Blotts.

The chaos had just subsided and the store clerks were preparing to restore the messy scene to its original state.

Xi Lun also joined in under the pretext of helping, while carefully observing every corner of the ground.

But even after all the books were returned to the bookshelf, he still couldn't find any trace of the diary.
He checked the bookshelves, counters, and even the gaps over and over again, but found nothing.

How is this possible?
Xi Lun stood in the middle of the street with a frown on his face. Things seemed a little beyond his expectations.

He deliberately targeted Lucius Malfoy, not only because he couldn't stand his pure-blood supremacy, but also because he had another purpose... to provoke Lucius and make him give the diary directly to him.

He even picked up a book and took it with him.

But Lucius seemed a little scared after hearing his name and did not do so.

Maybe he was worried that he would reveal that Malfoy was once a Muggle. Only then did Siren realize that he shouldn't have introduced himself.

In the 11th century, Armand Malfoy, a young wizard from an ordinary family, disguised himself as an ordinary knight and followed William I across the sea. He then used his wizarding abilities to suppress the Muggle uprising and was thus granted privileges, which led to the establishment of the Malfoy family in the wizarding world.

Interesting, isn't it...

Malfoy was once a wizard from a Muggle family. Their current status, wealth, and honor all came from the rewards bestowed by a Muggle monarch.

It's just that because it happened so long ago, almost no one in the wizarding world knows about it...but this obviously doesn't include Ollivander.

Lucius was also very clear about this. Although given Siren's current age, no one might believe it even if he told this matter, it would be difficult to shake Malfoy's current position.

But the cautious Lucius didn't want to take any possible risks, so he chose to back down.

"Oh, I should have just said my name was Ciarán Weasley." Ciarán scratched his hair.

Lucius was furious at the time, and he might have immediately shoved the diary in his hand after hearing the name Weasley.

As long as he could get the diary, it didn't matter if Draco exposed his identity.

As a result of Lucius's cowardice, not only did his plan fail, but the diary that was supposed to be given to Ginny also disappeared.

After leaving Flourish and Blotts, the unwilling Siren went to Knockturn Alley again, but old Borgin still didn't know what the diary was.

He only said that Lucius sold him some dark magic items and generously took out the list... Xi Lun read it three times and there was indeed no name related to the diary.

After this long journey, it was already evening when Xilun returned to the wand shop.

The dim sky was as gloomy as Xilun's mood.

I don’t know if the diary was picked up by someone in the chaos, or if Malfoy didn’t bring it out in the first place?
Xi Lun was troubled for several days.

During this period, he didn't even have the mood to sell stickers. Every morning he would push the work onto his grandfather and run to Flourish and Blotts.

For several days afterwards, the owner of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore felt quite embarrassed. She had always thought that Xilun came to help organize the bookshelves every day because he felt guilty about the fight that day.

But the boss didn't think that the incident had anything to do with Xi Lun. He just said a few words and didn't do anything. The culprit was obviously Lucius Malfoy who suddenly went crazy.

As a result, Siren came to help every day, but Malfoy couldn't even see him, and he didn't even receive a letter of apology.

No wonder Ollivanders is the oldest wizarding family in the magical world. Their cultivation and magnanimity alone are incomparable to those guys who always talk about the supremacy of pure-bloods.

So every time Xi Lun came to help, she would give him something as a reward.

Since it’s a bookstore, of course they give away books.

"Modern History of Magic", "Practical Spells", "Standard Spells" series (Three, Four, Five).
They are all popular books, among which "Standard Spells" is a Hogwarts textbook, corresponding to the third, fourth and fifth grades. Giving it away now is equivalent to helping Xi Lun save money on three books in disguise.

However, just when she was about to deliver the Standard Spells Volume 6, Xi Lun did not go that day.

He didn't look for it anymore. With Harry around, he wouldn't have to worry about encountering Voldemort's soul in the future. Why bother holding on to a diary?

With this time, Xi Lun felt that he might as well do something else, such as thinking about how to deal with the dried and deformed lizard he got from the Death Eaters.
