Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 614: Holly Wand?
In the referee's seat, Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, his eyes also lighting up with excitement.

"Garrick, it has changed!"

"Has Harry's wand been tampered with?" Sirius stood up and looked at the other warriors fiercely.

"That's unlikely." Mr. Weasley released his hand from Ginny, placed it on Sirius' shoulder, and pushed him back into his seat.

In response, Krum and Ginny both looked at Harry's wand in worry.

Furong closed her eyes in disdain.

And Elvas doesn't seem to mind showing his differences at all.

He always maintains a demeanor that is confident and as majestic and unshakable as a mountain.

"Holly wands are considered defensive in nature, and are often chosen by witches and wizards who do not care about their lives, engage in dangerous behavior, and pursue spiritual pursuits.

Yew wands, themselves renowned for their longevity, retain a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in dueling and all areas of curses.

Dark Arts and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Two wand woods that are undoubtedly mutually exclusive." Ollivander did not answer Dumbledore's question directly.

Instead, he stared at the wand in his hand with fascination and talked about the knowledge of wand wood.

"Can you believe it?

This should be a wand made of holly, but it has the characteristics of a yew wand which is completely opposite to it.

It's like a combination of that brother wand I made and this one.

It's amazing that they are mutually exclusive and yet they are miraculously combined together.

The so-called seven impossible combinations are no longer a big deal in front of this wonderful combination. "Speaking of this, Ollivander waved his wand.

However, nothing happened. It was as if the wand in his hand was just an ordinary wooden stick.

“It’s rejecting me.

It can tell the difference between my magic and its master's magic!

Harry, you come—” Ollivander chose to hand the wand back to Harry.

Harry took the wand, "Orchid blooms!"

A bouquet of flowers bloomed on the head of the wand.

"Very good! Very good!" Ollivander couldn't help but applaud.

Sirius clapped along.

The man with the camera followed Sirius' lead in clapping.

Dumbledore gave Harry a long look.

Ginny and Krum breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Harry, he gathered the flowers together and smiled awkwardly.

He actually had his own guesses about Ollivander's discovery.

That is, when it merged with his evil side and absorbed the remnants of Voldemort, its wand also transformed along with him.

Wait until the room becomes quiet again.

The man with the black camera jumped up and cleared his throat.

After making eye contact with Sirius, he said, "Is everything finished? Then the next step is taking pictures."

After hearing this, everyone stood up.

"Madame Maxime, please just sit down. Harry, do you mind letting Miss Delacour sit in the middle? It will make the photo look better."

Under the photographer's command, the photos were taken quickly.

The others also turned their eyes to Dumbledore, as if waiting for some instructions.

But Harry figured that was the end of it for today.

Because Elvas, who could predict the future, was looking towards the exit without any concealment.

"Thank you all," said Dumbledore, rising from the judges' table. "You may return to your lessons now - perhaps it would be easier to go down to dinner, as they will soon be dismissed anyway -"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Elvas made a strange gesture and left with Madam Vulkanova.

Fleur and Madame Maxime followed.

Dumbledore was with Ollivander.

Karkaroff left Krum behind again and left alone. Sirius seemed to want to say something to Harry, but was also pulled away by Mr. Weasley who had just finished greeting Ginny.

When the man taking the picture saw Sirius leave, he quickly picked up his camera and left the room.

Just as Ginny took Harry's arm and wanted to go out, Harry spoke: "Ginny, wait outside for a moment. Krum and I have something to talk about."

Ginny nodded, let go of Harry, walked out and closed the door.

Krum stopped walking and turned to look at Harry, "You are? You want to talk to me about Ron?
I don't think it's a good time for him and I to meet officially yet.

I pursued his girlfriend without her knowledge, and others thought he liked me.

I think we should wait a little longer—"

Harry quickly interrupted Krum, "That's not what I want to talk about. Krum, the first project is the dragon."

"What?" Krum was very surprised and frowned.

But in the next moment, he believed Harry's words without any doubt.

"But why?
I may be your friend, but this is a competition.

Not you and me.

It's Hogwarts and Durmstrang."

“That’s the problem.

Hogwarts and Durmstrang.

This game isn't just about you and me.

They also have to rely on the war magic of the students from their respective schools.

But you are different from me. The students in your school are very hostile to you. If they——"

"That's enough, I can do it alone!" Krum replied loudly, but he soon realized his own rudeness.

"I'm sorry Harry, I was too loud.

But I really think I can do it on my own.

If the game is about dragons, it must not involve a head-on battle with a dragon.

I guess we need to complete the mission with a dragon around.

The key point is to divert the dragon's attention.

I can do that.

My Transfiguration skills aren't bad.

I can just turn a rock or something into a hound to distract it so I can complete the task normally."

“No, that’s not what the game is about.

Just imagine how powerful the magic bestowed on a wizard would be if it required a school of wizards to successfully cast it.

If that's the kind of magic, what you're thinking is too simple.

I know what the contest involves—a one-on-one fight with a dragon. There are four dragons. One for each of us.”

“So—I’m going to fight one-on-one with seven or eight dragons that can only be subdued by wizards with great powers and who know their weaknesses?

"With the possibility that the students of Durmstrang might hinder us?" Krum took a deep breath. "Are you trying to persuade me to give up, Harry? Not to risk my life for a competition?"

"No, you forgot one thing.

You are an excellent flyer.

If you have a broomstick.

Plus, your classmates shouldn't show it too obviously.

It is possible for you to defeat a dragon head-on."

"Harry, ugh.

I'm glad you could help me figure it out.

But we can only use wands in the game." Facing Krum's lament.

Harry smiled, "I'll give you a hint, today we learned a spell that can only be learned in fourth grade.

Its spell is brief, but gives you what you need."
