Chapter 172: Exploring Diagon alley
"Why not just make wands out of metal or some other material if wood is so picky?" Nick asked confused. Olivander chuckled when he heard this question "When I was a young man , barely out of Hogwarts in fact , I too asked that question and I found the answer. As it turns out you can in fact make wands out of other materials but they each had their own problems that wooden wands didn't have. For example a wand made out of metal could not grow at all after being bound to a wizard as metal is a stagnant thing normally" he said honestly.- The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"Sure metal is strong and steady but this very same set of properties is what makes it a terrible choice for a wand. Stone has similar problems but with the added twist of each type of stone having it's own affinities as well. In theory you could use bone as a material without any problems , however from what I have found wands made of bone are extremely stubborn about who they serve." Olivander continued speaking about the various problems of making wands out of things other than wood and Nick absorbed the information while writing it down greedily.-
Soon Olivander noticed the time and drew the lesson to a close for the day but walked over to his collection of books and grabbed three from the shelf before handing them to Nick. "These books were titled {A Veritological compendium} , {Wand crafting for beginners} and {A guide to runes and their use}. "Seeing as it's a Friday I will give you these to study over the next two days before quizzing you on the material. Other than that you are free to pursue whatever you wish in this time." The old man said before leaving for the front of the shop.-
'I suppose a professional enchanter may be able to help in this regard , I hope so anyways.' Nick thought as he left the last book store. After that he noticed it was getting close to dinner time and started looking for a restaurant to dine in at. He soon found a small place hidden around a corner with a faded sign with lights on inside it {Crumonte's Culinary Creations - Family owned and operated since 1578} the sign read. Nick's curiosity was peaked so he walked over to the old wooden door and pulled it open setting off a bell.
