The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

As it turned out, what they saw was not an illusion; all the wands chose Dolly.

So what follows means...

Ollivander's lips trembled, but he couldn't bring himself to say: "Now you can choose your wand."

After all, in the Ollivander family's philosophy, wands are alive; they choose the wizard, not the other way around.

Once the wand is in the wizard's hands, the wizard and the wand begin to learn from each other and eventually achieve success together.

But now, all the wands have chosen Dolly, doesn't that mean their family's ideals have been shattered?

Dolly keenly sensed that something was amiss.

It wasn't because Dolly could see through everyone's thoughts at a glance, but because Dolly was familiar with Ollivander's philosophy and knew what the current situation meant for him.

She smiled slightly and gave her answer first.

"Grandpa Ollivander, may I respond to the wand's choice?"

Ollivander's spirits lifted, and his eyes, which had been dulled by despair, shone with light.

Yes!

Another way to explain it!

All the wands did choose Dolly, but Dolly was merely responding to the wands' choice, not the other way around!

If we explain it this way, wouldn't their family's theory be able to continue?

Thinking of this, Ollivander's gaze towards Dolly brightened.

He could tell perfectly well that Dolly had deliberately used this method to help him overcome his psychological trauma.

What a beautiful, kind, and understanding child she is!

Harry is absolutely right!

"Come, good boy, answer the wand's choice."

"Or, if you have a preference for a particular type of wand, I can give you some guidance."

Ollivander laid out all the wands he considered the best in front of Dolly, who was momentarily at a loss when faced with so many.

Although Ollivander could offer excellent advice, Dolly herself didn't actually know which wand to use.

After all, Dolly's magic power is only 1, and it's obvious to the naked eye that she has no talent in magic in the short term.

Therefore, for Dolly, the effect of casting a spell may not be as good as the benefits that the wand itself brings her.

That's right, the wand can give her a boost.

It was incredible, but Dolly sensed it the moment she touched the wand.

However, this feeling is very vague and is not displayed in the form of a panel.

Dolly also tried asking her cheat code, but the nice older sister's voice ignored her.

So Dolly had no choice but to touch all the wands herself one more time.

Ollivander watched all this with delight, showing no anger whatsoever.

In his view, it was clearly Dolly communicating with these wands, which were also the children he had made himself.

I wonder which lucky person will be chosen by Dolly... no, which one will receive a response from Dolly.

Finally, Dolly stopped.

When she held this magic wand, she always felt that her energy and spirits improved.

Seeing that Dolly seemed to have made a choice, Ollivander exhaled and said, "I didn't expect it to be this wand."

"Is it special?" Dolly asked.

Ollivander took the wand back from Dolly's hand, stroked it affectionately, and then said, "It's not really that special, except that it's not a wand I made."

"In my opinion, the three types of wand cores are unicorn tail hair, dragon heart nerve, and phoenix feather."

"This is the result of considering performance, stability, and cost."

“Most of my wands use three materials, but my father and grandfather are still searching for different wand materials.”

"For example, this one, made of willow wood, with a core of cat and leopard fur."

"Willow is an extremely rare wand wood with healing powers, and its owners often lack a sense of security, no matter how hard they try to hide it."

"The leopard is a magical creature in the United States. It can walk upright, run faster than an arrow, and its eyes are said to have the ability to hypnotize and grasp thoughts."

"Cats and leopards are agile and strong, making them almost impossible to kill."

"This has led to a severe shortage of cat and leopard fur, which is a good material for wand cores. By my generation, we have basically given up on using it to make wands."

“Now it is yours, Miss Dursley.”

Dolly took the wand and waved it gently. A soft light emanated from the tip of the wand, creating a mesmerizing effect.

"Yes, that's it."

Seeing how well Dolly used the wand, Ollivander was completely relieved.

"It will be even more effective when used to cast healing spells. Its core can restore your physical health, and this effect can even extend to your mind."

After saying that, Ollivander smiled slightly and said, "I was going to say that you might be a genius at studying wands."

"But now it seems that St. Mungo's Hospital might be a better fit for you."

Ollivander didn't ask Dolly why she lacked a sense of security, which is a basic courtesy of a wand maker.

However, he told Dolly a lot of knowledge that only wand experts would know, knowledge that is usually not told to young wizards who come to buy wands.

Because the additional properties of a wand are actually very weak, they do not have a decisive impact on a wizard's spellcasting.

If Ollivander were to reveal these little bits of knowledge, there would definitely be young wizards who, in pursuit of those vague and intangible additional attributes, would choose wands that are not suitable for them.

Little did they know that an unsuitable wand would become the biggest obstacle on their path to learning magic.

After hearing Ollivander's explanation, Dolly was utterly impressed.

Clearly, his theory that wands choose wizards is very close to the truth; at least Dolly felt that she and this wand were a perfect match.

Because of the gate, she needs to sacrifice some weight, and may even have to sacrifice some blood.

At that time, being skilled in healing magic, she could stabilize her physical condition the fastest.

Another thing she fears most is being possessed by others, since her soul comes from another world.

And since this wand also enhances Legilimency, does that mean it can also enhance Occlumency?

After all, this is magic with two sides to it.

Of course, overall the additional effects of this wand are very weak.

However... Dolly can use attribute points to enhance it!

22. Second update: Hermione Granger

Of course, strengthening the wand is definitely not something to do now.

Although Dolly really wanted to do it now.

But unfortunately, there was nothing left to extract from her, and as for sacrificing body parts, that was out of the question.

After putting the wand away, Dolly bowed respectfully to Ollivander and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."

Ollivander happily accepted Dolly's thanks, feeling that his hard work had not been in vain.

However, after receiving the money, he still gave Dolly a piece of advice.

"Child, if you become interested in wand studies in the future, you are always welcome to come and intern with me."

"and……"

Ollivander seemed hesitant, but finally spoke up, saying, "Given your situation, it might be more appropriate for you to have an extra wand."

Dolly was taken aback, but then she realized what was happening.

For most people, a suitable magic wand is something they'll essentially keep for life.

Even if you could force someone else to use their wand, the effect would most likely be so bad that it would make you question your existence.

But with Dolly, she could completely customize her own wand and use it in different situations.

Of course, for Dolly right now, this is just an idea; she hasn't even figured out how to use the wand she has yet.

"Thank you, that's a great suggestion. I think I'll be back someday, Grandpa Ollivander."

Dolly reverted to calling him Grandpa Ollivander.

If it was just a cute act to get closer at the beginning, then the two of them have now truly become friends.

Because Ollivander slightly violated his own principles for Dolly's sake.

So Lily naturally reciprocated by promising to try her hand at wand studies in the future if possible.

Most importantly, Dolly had made up her mind that she couldn't let Ollivander be captured and tortured by Voldemort.

However, Dolly still has a long way to go to achieve this goal.

After Dolly pushed open the door and left, Ollivander began to sort through the wands he had just taken out.

Compared to his cheerful demeanor when talking to Dolly, Ollivander now seems preoccupied.

Because there was something he hadn't told Dolly.

Through Harry, Ollivander learned about Dolly's background and that Lily Potter was Dolly's aunt.

Lily Potter's wand was also made of willow wood.

In addition to the characteristics he mentioned earlier, willow wood is also associated with intuition, dreams, illusions, observation, and emotions, and has long been a symbol of death and unhappy love.

Finally, willow wood also symbolizes flexibility and wisdom, which clearly aligns with Dolly's previous behavior.

The reason Ollivander didn't mention these things is that, firstly, it falls under the category of wand studies and shouldn't be discussed with ordinary wizards.

On the other hand, these are just metaphors, even less reliable than prophecies, and Dolly is only 11 years old.

If she does study wand magic in the future, it won't be too late to teach her these things.
