The funeral bell took the children and their parents to exchange money and go shopping. During this time, suming left Hermione in the olive wand shop next door.
As for why? Because Olivander's family has 13 generations, all of them are Ravenclaw!
This was done before Su Ming bought the current store, so that Hermione could see the gap between the two college graduates.
If Gryffindor graduated, he could only be a slave in Wilson's automatic wand shop. After graduation, Ravenclaw could become a shop owner next door. Oliver van der also monopolized almost all the wand business in the British magic world, even Voldemort's wand was made by him.
Actually, it has little to do with which college, because the magic wand spot is the ancestral property of others, but how can Hermione know so much? As long as the eye can see the surface gap.
In addition, the opposite door of prem pinell magic beauty shop is a magic beauty salon that girls like. The boss is also a graduate of Ravenclaw. He invented the "acne elixir" during his school years, so that he became a top rich man.
It's no joke that the house price of Diagon Alley is not a joke. Even if Su Ming is supported by the wealth of several planets, buying such a shop makes him have the impulse to kill the goblin agent with a medium bullet. We can imagine what the level is.
To be able to open a flagship store here is equivalent to other top enterprises on the earth.
As a neighbor, Ollivander doesn't think that Su Ming's "Muggle wand" can have any impact on his business. In fact, most of the time, the eccentric old man is nervous and quiet. He huddles in the workshop behind the shop, playing with sticks and feathers.
It's just a little help for the neighbors.
However, when Su Ming leaves with the tour group, while he is working, he overhears Hermione's quarrel. When he finds out that the girl's volunteer is Raven crow, he opens the conversation box.
As an elder and a former person, Su Ming knew all the details that he didn't know. After a few brain twists and tests of Hermione's intelligence, he cheerfully blew all the benefits of Ravenclaw.
It also talked about some deep-seated things, such as the use of Ravenclaw's traditional craft - to discuss the conditions, so as to achieve the benefits of several other colleges at the same time.
As a student of Ravenclaw, most of the time, he was in a state of seclusion, engaged in his own research and invention, and didn't care much about the disputes among other colleges.
Can you win the Academy cup? It doesn't matter at all, because the clever Ravenclaw has long found that there is no real benefit in winning the Academy cup.
Apart from the fact that the color of the decorative banners of the auditorium will be the winner's College color next year, there will be no good. What is the need to fight? How much is it worth to be praised by the headmaster?
It's better to use credit as a chip to trade with other college students and manipulate the results of the College Cup to gain benefits.
What do you think Slytherin won the Academy cup six years in a row before Harry Potter entered the school? It's one thing to be strong, but it's another to trade with Eagle house.
The wand man recalled the past, and involuntarily told Hermione some interesting stories. For example, as long as he had enough intelligence, the other three college fools could use them.
Hutchpach's students are free to go in and out of the big kitchen all day, use the ingredients, and order the house elves to cook with them.
But Ravenclaw's students only need to pay a bottle of ecstasy, can exchange for a semester's night snack and snacks, small badger can be sent to the tower, people also thank you for your help.
Yes, Ravenclaw, the predecessor who invented the magic drug of love, is also more skillful than Snape, let alone one of the contraband in the school. Snape will never equip students with this kind of thing.
You don't have the kingaron on hand to continue with your research? It's also simple. The pure blood aristocrats in Slytherin have plenty of money, and the eagles are often paid for writing a paper or answering some questions.
As for Gryffindor, those goods are of no use. They can make them do their best by giving them some benefits, such as helping to steal some alchemy materials from the forbidden forest, or buying candy drinks for errands in Hogsmeade village.
Buy back a bag of sugar and give them a piece of it. Those guys are so happy.
Of course, if the smugglers are caught by the professor unfortunately, they can't prove that the hawk ordered them to buy sugar, because there will be no evidence.
Speaking of this, Ollivander showed a mysterious smile, pointed his finger at his temple, and said to Hermione, who was surprised to open his mouth, "although your Professor Wilson is an American, he has to say that he is very knowledgeable. It is good to say that knowledge is power."
"But why does it sound like a lie?" Little Hermione asked simply.
Ollivander shook his head: "no, it's all fair trade. It's wisdom that gives us the space to profit. Little girl, think about it. We have knowledge, wealth, and products that other people want. It is the people from other colleges who ask us to buy them, not that we have to do their business. It's a seller's market, boy. You'll understand it later. "Hermione nodded vaguely: "why can't we help our classmates for free?"
There was a flash of light under Ollivander's glasses, and he put down the wand he was assembling:
"you are a good boy, of course, it is worth advocating to help students. But everyone's time is limited. If you put all your energy into helping others, do you still have time to explore the true mystery of magic? Only by becoming the strongest wizard can we help more people after graduation. We don't expect any superior enjoyment. We can exchange various conveniences. We just want more time to study our subject. "
"So it is..." Hermione seemed to understand something. Something called sense of mission fell on her shoulder, just like two days of not buying books, but seven years of not helping others.
As long as there are a lot of research results, then after graduation can help more people, this is for greater good.
As a veteran Ravenclaw, Ollivander cheated Hermione just like playing, but he also had some emotion in his heart. Maybe when the child grows up, she won't have any over enthusiastic ideas.
Ravenclaw's students are often the first to understand what interests represent in the magic world, just as they are often the first to know anything about the Academy.
The eagle's eyes are naturally the most intelligent of the four animals.
"Well, if you can get into Ravenclaw and come to my store at Christmas, I'll give you a present." He blinked at the child, then lowered his head and began to play with the semi-finished wand in front of him.
"What gift?" Hermione blinked and the little girl was distracted when she heard the gift.
Olivander did not lift his head, but mysteriously whispered, "a secret only your headmaster Dumbledore knows can make you strong."
"Then don't play tricks, Ravenclaw. I'll get in." Hermione raised her chin.
The wand master thought it was very interesting. He looked at the crowds coming and going outside the door. From time to time, some people came into the store to buy magic wands for the children.
Although they were all given to the apprentices to receive them, the shop was in a mess and could not do any business today.
"You come in, come to the back of the workshop, and I'll teach you the first magic, as a gift from the schoolmaster. This magic is called brain sealing. Knowledge is also wealth. We should protect it well. "
Yes, Ollivander is also an unknown Master of brain sealing, at least on the same level as Snape.
In the future of the original book, Voldemort seized him and wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the old wand. However, he could not read any news from his mind by using psychedelic thoughts. He could only torture him with the heart piercing curse, trying to make him relax, but finally failed.
Hermione didn't know what brain sealing was, and why the old mage was so good to her, but there was magic before school started. That would be great.
