Deathstroke took the children and parents to exchange money and go shopping, while Su Ming kept Hermione at the Ollivanders Staff store next door.As for why?
Because the ancestors of the Ollivander family are thirteen generations, all of them are Ravenclaw!
This was laid out before Su Ming bought the current store, in order to show Hermione the gap between the graduates of the two houses.Gryffindor graduates, so he can only work as a slave in Wilson's automatic wand shop.After graduating from Ravenclaw, he was able to work as a shopkeeper next door, and Ollivander also had a monopoly on almost all the wand business in the British wizarding world, even Voldemort's wand was made by him.In fact, it doesn't have much to do with which house, because the wand point is the ancestral property of other people, but how can Hermione know so much as a child?
As long as the eye can see the surface gap, it's fine.In addition, the Prim Pinier magic beauty shop opposite the door, which is a magic beauty salon that girls love, and the owner is also a Ravenclaw graduate, who became a top rich man by inventing the 'acne potion' during his time in school.The housing prices in Diagon Alley are no joke, even if Su Ming is supported by the wealth of several planets, buying such a shop gives him the urge to kill the goblin agent with a neutron bomb, you can imagine what kind of level it is.Being able to open a flagship store here is equivalent to other top companies on the planet.As a neighbor, Ollivanders didn't think Su Ming's 'Muggle Wand' would have any effect on his business, and the eccentric old man was actually nervous and silent most of the time, huddled in the workshop behind the shop, fiddling with sticks and feathers.Helping to watch the children for a while is just a daily interaction with neighbors.However, when Su Ming left with the tour group, he overheard Hermione's awkward conversation while working, and found that the little girl's volunteer was Ravenclaw, so he opened the conversation.As a senior and a person who has come over, he knows all the details that Su Ming doesn't know, and after a few brain teasers, he has verified all the benefits of Hermione's smart crowe.There are also some deep things, such as the use of the Ravenclaw tradition of craftsmanship - the negotiation of conditions, so as to achieve the benefits of several other colleges at the same time.As a Ravenclaw student, he was mostly in a state of seclusion, working on his own research and inventions, and did not care much about the disputes of several other colleges.Can you win the House Cup?
It doesn't matter at all, because the clever Ravenclaw has long since discovered that there is no substantial benefit to getting the Academy Cup.There will be no good other than that next year's Auditorium's decorative banner color will be the winner's college color, so why fight for it?
How much is it worth to be praised by the principal?
It is better to use the credits as bargaining chips to make deals with students from other houses and manipulate the results of the House Cup to gain benefits.Otherwise, what do you think Slytherin won the House Cup six years in a row before Harry Potter entered the school?
It's one thing to be strong in itself, but it's another thing to make a deal with the Eagles.Remembering the past eventful years, the wand guy couldn't help but tell Hermione some interesting stories, such as that as long as they were clever enough, the fools of the other three houses could use it.Hufflepuff students have free access to the large kitchen throughout the day, using the ingredients and ordering the house-elves to cook with them.But Ravenclaw students only need to pay a bottle of aphrodisiac in exchange for a semester's worth of supper and snacks, and a badger can be delivered to the tower, and they will thank you for your help.Yes, the predecessor who invented the love potion was also Ravenclaw, and compared to Snape, Ravenclaw's secret craft was even more sophisticated, not to mention that it was still one of the prohibited items in the school, and Snape would never configure such a thing for students.Don't have a golden galleon on hand to continue your own research experiments?
Quite simply, the pure-blood nobles of Slytherin all had money, and the eaglets often only needed to help write a paper or answer a few questions to get paid a lot of money.As for Gryffindor, those goods are useless, and they can sell their stupid strength by giving them a few benefits, such as helping to steal some alchemy materials in the Forbidden Forest, or going to Hogsmeade Village to help run errands and buy some candy and drinks.Buy back a packet of candy and share it with them, and the guys are so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut.Of course, if the smugglers were caught by the professor, they would not be able to prove that Kitty had instructed them to buy candy, because there would be no evidence.Speaking of this, Ollivander smiled mysteriously, pointed his finger at his temple, and said to Hermione, who opened her mouth in surprise: "Although your Professor Wilson is an American, I have to say that he is very knowledgeable, and there is a good saying, knowledge is power." ”"But why does it sound like a lie?"
Little Hermione asked simply.Ollivander shook his head: "No, everything is a fair trade, and it is wisdom that gives us room to profit."
Little girl, think about it, we have knowledge, we have wealth, we have products that others desire, and it is the people of the other colleges who beg us to buy them, not us who have to do their business.It's a seller's market, kid, and you'll get to know later. ”Hermione nodded as if she didn't understand, "Then why can't we help our classmates for free?"
”A light flashed under Ollivander's glasses, and he put down the wand he was assembling in his hand: "You are such a good boy, of course, helping your classmates is worth advocating."
But everyone's time is limited, and if you put all your energy into helping others, do you have time to explore the true mysteries of magic yourself?
And only by becoming the strongest wizard can we help more people after graduation, and we don't expect any superior enjoyment, in exchange for all kinds of convenience, just so that we can have more time to delve into our subject. ”"I see," Hermione seemed to understand something, and something called a sense of mission fell on her shoulders, like enduring not buying a book for two days, nothing more than enduring seven years of not helping others.As long as there are more research results, then there will be more people who can help after graduation, which is for greater good.As a veteran Ravenclaw, Ollivander deceived Hermione as if he were playing, but he also had some feelings in his heart, maybe when the child grew up, she wouldn't have any overzealous ideas.Ravenclaw students are often the first to understand what interests represent in the wizarding world, just as they are often the first to know anything about the house.The eagle's eyes are naturally the most spiritual of the four animals."
Well, if you can get into Ravenclaw, come to my store at Christmas, and I'll give you a gift."
He winked at the child, then lowered his head and began fiddling with the half-finished wand in front of him."
What gift?"
Hermione blinked, and the little girl was distracted when she heard the present.Ollivander didn't raise his head, but replied in a mysterious whisper, "A secret that only your Headmaster Dumbledore knows can make you strong." ”"Then you must not be fooled, I will be able to get in Ravenclaw."
Hermione lifted her chin.The Wandmaster found it amusing, and he watched the crowd of people coming and going outside the door, and from time to time someone entered the store to buy wands for children.Although they were all left to the apprentice to be received, the shop was in a mess, and Hengzhu couldn't do anything serious today."
You come in, come to the back of the workshop, I'll teach you the first magic now, as a gift from the seniors.This magic is called Occlumency, and knowledge is also wealth, so protect it. ”Yes, Ollivander is also an unknown master of Occlumency, at least on the same level as Snape.In the future of the original books, Voldemort grabbed him and tried to ask him about the whereabouts of the Elder Wand, but he couldn't read any news from his head with the Dementor Mind, so he could only torture him with the Mind Curse to try to get him to relax, but in the end, he failed.Hermione didn't know what Occlumency was, and she didn't know why the old mage was so nice to her, but it couldn't be better to have magic before school started.
