READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 9: wand
The next day a professor appeared at his door step. Henry walked staggeringly to the door and opened it. There is an old woman standing at his door. She is wearing an emerald robe and a pointed hat. The woman looked at him and his house with a uncomfortable look.
Henry asked," Who are you? ", the old woman said," I'm Minerva McGonagall. I'm the vice headmistress of Hogwarts. I'm here to take you to diagon alley Mr Henry Wells ", minerva met Helen Vole, who is Cassandra's mother.
From her she knew what happened. At first like everyone she is disgusted by this kid when a servant spread news that Henry robbed galleons from house vole. But after hearing the inside story from Helen, she felt pity. This kid will die in a few years and now he has to bear a crime he didn't commit.
Henry eyes already showed changes. There is no warmth in them. Only coldness and a little vigilance like he didn't trust anyone anymore. McGonagall spoke a few words and then changed his appearance using the transfiguration. She knew by now the diagon alley won't sell anything to Henry.
Even if she stood up for him, it won't change anything. Henry is vigilant as she used magic on him and didn't say anything after he saw the magic. He followed her to the diagon alley and this time the shop owners in diagon alley didn't cast disgusting glances at Henry as they didn't recognise him.
They go to gringotts and McGonagall made a draw for him from the school vault. She walked around diagon alley with him and bought all things needed. Except a pet and wand. Henry said he can't afford a pet and refused.
He can't even feed himself in this situation. McGonagall didn't say anything. She took him to the ollivanders and opened the door. An old man greetes them. He looked at Henry intently and said," Hmm, a wonderful transfiguration to hide a kid's appearance professor McGonagall. But no need to hide him from me. Since he is a wizard brought by you I can trust him. Come boy stretch your hand ".
Henry moved forward and stretched his hand. Ollivander measured his hand and fingers along with his height and face. Then he goes to the shelves and brought few boxes. Ollivander opened the first box, it's a wand with black colour.
Ollivander gave it to him and said," 10 inches, black thorn, unicorn hair core. Try it", Henry waved his hand while the vase is broken. Ollivander took it and said," Not this one it seems ", he waved the wand while the vase is repaired.
Ollivander took out another wand and give it to him," 11 inch, Aspen, dragon heart tendon. Good for duel and charms ", Henry took it and waved it again. The wand boxes fell down rapidly and ollivander took back the wand and waved it again while the boxes all flew back.
Like this many wands passed and just when he is anxious, ollivander took out a wand and gave it to him," 12 inches, Elder wood, Phoenix feather core. This wand is unyielding and powerful. A wand that my grandfather failed to sell as it's rejected by many wizards ".
Henry touched the wand while a golden sparks appeared out and Ollivander smiled and said," This wand is sitting in this shop for nearly a century. My father often says this was one of the most powerful wands he has ever seen below the level of the elder wand. Although Elder wood often is said to have bad luck but it's really a powerful wood connected to underworld. A Phoenix feather combination is a complete opposite to it. But they stayed in harmony. You're the first wizard that I don't know how your future will be Mr Wells ".
Henry looked at his wand and didn't say anything. He bought a hostler for it and a care kit. After getting out of the shop, he asked McGonagall," Is there any job in Hogwarts for me professor McGonagall?".
McGonagall is stunned and said," No I'm afraid not Mr wells. And Hogwarts don't allow there students to stay in holidays, I'm sorry for this child. But this is a rule passed down and I can't break this. But I'll speak to the headmaster and see if he can make an exception ".
