Hogwarts The Dark Arts Awakening

Finally, Jerry left Ollivander's Wand Store with his holly unicorn hair wand, taking out the remaining gold Galleons and most of the silver Sickles in his suitcase.

As for the other two wands, Ollivander saw that Jerry was very willing to buy them, so he suggested that he buy them again after a while to get familiar with the new wands in his hands.

Jerry naturally had no objections. The reason why he proposed to buy three wands at the same time was mainly to ask Ollivander indirectly and use the master's wand-making experience to further confirm the specific obstacles and solutions to the use of multiple wands in combination.

In the [Personal Collection Room] provided by the system, wands have already been piled up.

Jerry originally had some doubts about the quality of these wands in stock, fearing that they were not top-notch among their kind. After all, he had come across too few samples of foreign wands.

However, after visiting Ollivander's Wand Store in person, these doubts have disappeared.

It is true that the quality of the wands obtained by Bella's Echo Black varies greatly, and many of them are indeed just the work of apprentices, and there are even strange combinations of troll beards and birch wood.

However, if you search carefully, you can still find first-class wands that can rival the craftsmanship of the wandmaker, such as the blackthorn wood dragon heartstring wand that specializes in power amplification.

However, Jerry will not let Ollivander's pigeons go because of this, and he does not intend to destroy his credibility easily.

Besides, the matter of making a wand out of the basilisk horn would probably have to be entrusted to Garrick Ollivander.This person not only has rich experience in making canes, but also has extensive research on twin cane cores. He is the best candidate Jerry can think of at the moment.

The horn of the same basilisk is used as the core of the staff, matched with the staff body from the same snake wood, made by the same staff maker using the same technique, and loyal to the same Parselmouth.

The plurality of wands born and grown in this way, although they are still not exactly the same as each other, are definitely extremely closely related.

Jerry hoped that the effects triggered by using these brother wands at the same time would not be infinite flashbacks that conflict with each other, but a combined attack of multiple spells.

'I'm not hitting the right hand with my left hand, so it shouldn't trigger a flashback, right? 'Jerry walked away, thinking about his composite wand in his mind, 'It seems that I will indeed have to go to Ilvermorny in the future, Salazar Slytherin's wand is there. '

Before leaving Ollivander's Wand Store, the store owner Garrick explained why he thought the Basilisk Horned Snake Wood Wand was more suitable for Jerry, and mentioned this magical wand made by the legendary wizard Salazar himself.

When making this wand, Salazar designed a special mechanism that would immediately enter a dormant state after receiving a special command from Parseltongue, and would not revive until it received another command.

Jerry believes that this technology is very valuable. If he can discover it and understand it thoroughly, he will obviously be able to better control the basilisk horned snake wood wand to perform compound spells.

With this idea in mind, Jerry followed Dumbledore step by step. Their target at the moment was the headquarters of the Daily Prophet located on the south side of Diagon Alley.

To be precise, that was the Granger family's goal.

After seeing the leader of a terrorist organization being beaten to death by a baby, they found it unbelievable and read several more books, only to find that different books had similar records of the incident.

After all the troubles, the Grangers became very dizzy and decided to find some new channels to understand the magical world.The target they chose was newspapers.

Considering how the Daily Prophet appears in the original novel, this idea doesn't sound very plausible.

But at least for now, its timeliness is indeed not bad. The "Evening Prophet" on the newsstand proves this.

This newsstand is located outside the main office of the Daily Prophet. It should be a retail window for customers who come to Diagon Alley for shopping.

In a small space of just a few square meters, there are all kinds of newspapers and magazines - the news-oriented "Daily Prophet", "The Evening Prophet" and "The Sunday Prophet"; the similar magazines such as "The Quibbler", Witches Weekly and Broomstick Encyclopedia, as well as the academic journal Transfiguration Today.

The latest issue of the "Evening Prophet" was hung in the most conspicuous position, with the title: Multiple dark wizards gathered to commit murder. Minister Fudge and Dumbledore were shocked when they saw it!

Four or five passing wizards were attracted by the shocking headlines and obediently paid for the newspaper.The Grangers noticed the word 'murder' and paid for a copy.

"As expected of a reporter from the wizarding world, he can run fast." Jerry complained while watching.

The "Evening Prophet" is different from ordinary "dailies" in that it will only be published when major events occur to ensure the timeliness of the news, such as now.

Mr. Granger unfolded the newspaper in his hand and read as he read: "A group of unidentified dark wizards broke out in Little Hangleton, Sussex——"

"Well, this group of dark wizards gathered together to commit murder. Several wands and a large number of human body fragments were left at the scene." After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Granger continued reading.

"After Auror inspection, these wands have used the Unforgivable Curse many times with high frequency. Their owners must be extremely vicious and experienced dark wizards."

"As of now, the Ministry of Magic still refuses to disclose any progress in the case to the outside world. The identity of the deceased and the perpetrator is a mystery. The only thing that can be determined is that the place where the crime occurred is the Gaunt family, a pure-blood wizarding family that is said to be extinct. Ancestral home.”

Obviously, Mr. Granger did not expect that this news would involve the teenager around him, and he was quite surprised for a moment.

After hearing that the place where the crime occurred was the ancestral home of the Gaunt family, Hermione looked at Jerry with concern and sympathy.

"It's okay. In fact, no one has lived in that house for a long time." Jerry shook his head and continued to listen to Mr. Granger read the rest of the report.

"According to insiders, behind this is probably a group of Death Eaters who have escaped legal sanctions. They deliberately chose to commit the murder in Gunter's old house in order to express their opinions and recruit associates and expand their power. After that, these gangsters It is very likely that the wizard will continue to commit crimes."

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Granger's tone became urgent, and his confidence in the security of the magical world plummeted.Now, he really wants to take his daughter back directly to stay away from these dangers.

Jerry could see that Mr. Granger had a bad look on his face, and guessed that he was worried about the dark wizards continuing to commit crimes, and he didn't need to worry.

As the master of this group of Death Eater puppets, Jerry can guarantee that they will not appear in the near future.

Unless there is a last resort.

When Jerry made his insincere promise, Mrs. Granger picked up a copy of the wizarding tabloid called The Quibbler, a monthly publication, from the corner of the newsstand.

She read out the title: "How close is Fudge to taking over Gringotts? - When Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge was elected Minister, he categorically denied that he had any plans to take over Gringotts Wizarding Bank."

At first glance, this appears to be a fact-clarification report.However, what follows in "The Quibbler" takes a bizarre turn.

"But sources within the Ministry of Magic revealed that Fudge has a private nickname of 'Goblin Killer'. His strongest ambition is to control Gringotts' gold reserves, and he will not hesitate to use force if necessary. This newspaper will pay close attention Further progress on this plan.”

The more Mrs. Granger read, the more strange she became. Was the Minister of Magic also going to nationalize the banks?The description of this newspaper sounds weird.

The Grangers then bought several newspapers in an attempt to deepen their understanding of the wizarding world, but instead they were confused by these bizarre reports.

While her parents were reading the newspaper, Hermione walked up to Jerry and asked in a low voice: "Did this murder really happen?"

When it comes to human life, the girl can't help but become a little hesitant. Life is a heavy topic.

"Indeed, the group of dark wizards started fighting outside the house. I was hiding in the old house with a friend at the time." Jerry made up a story in a low voice, "There were spells in the old house, but some places were empty. , we’ll hide there.”

"You're not hurt, are you?" Her brown eyes revealed the slightest concern, "The book "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic" says that dark wizards are very vicious."

Jerry nodded, "It was really brutal. I didn't even hear what they were saying, and I saw them fighting and dying all over the place. Fortunately, my friend and I are fine, we were just a little shocked."

After making sure that the other party and her friends were safe, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried.

"Is this often the case in the magical world? I mean things like dark wizards using black magic to kill people." She looked at her parents who were busy flipping through the newspapers. She knew very well who her family was worried about, and her original desire for the magical world also diminished. Go down.

Seeing this, Jerry decided to play devil's advocate. He didn't want Hermione to choose to go home. This kind of development would not be very fun.
