HP Parallel World

Chapter186 Apprenticeship and Art

"Actually, I heard Sophia mention it to me before the end of last semester about senior Andy's house."

Although he has inherited the craftsmanship that has been passed down by his family for more than a thousand years very well, he unfortunately has not been able to pass on the craftsmanship he owns to his son. The old Mr. Ollivander and his wife also

But I only have one child.

Although he once had brothers and sisters, none of them wanted to inherit the family's craftsmanship. After the old Ollivander had no choice but to accept that his son was not a suitable heir at all, he turned his attention to himself.

grandson Andy.

Completely different from his father and his father's cousins, Andy had already shown his passion and curiosity for making wands when he was still a child.

When he was young, he always used the leftover materials left in the store to explore. Andy had already mastered most of them with his grandfather before he even entered the magic school.

Basic technology.

Originally believing that the family business of making wands would be passed on to his grandson after his death, old Ollivander would never have imagined that Andy would suddenly abscond in fear of crime without even saying hello.

"My grandson, how could he be a member of that French organization? How could he be pursuing something that is completely beyond common sense and plotting to subvert the ruling order of today's magical world?

I have always been an honest amateur artist all my life, and I have trained my grandchildren in this direction. So, you are now telling me that Andy has betrayed the entire British wizarding world. Such a move

How can I believe this kind of story?"

After Andy pretended to go to the public bathroom to take a bath that night, he was never seen again. Old Ollivander initially thought that Andy had encountered some unexpected accident on the island, so a

Inadvertently being involved in a bad situation that will cause you to temporarily lose your personal freedom.

Faced with what the staff of the Ministry of Magic told him - "Your grandson did not encounter any so-called accident at all, but in fact completely betrayed the entire United Kingdom", the old Ollivander spent a lot of time

, and had to accept this fact.

"Isn't it good to study the craftsmanship of wands wholeheartedly and try to unlock one after another the secrets lingering on this magical magic prop like wands? Why should we abandon such a precise craft as making wands and instead run away?

How about getting involved in some political issues, causing me to hide here and there, and never being able to calm down and improve my skills?"

Faced with the evidence presented to him by the staff of the Ministry of Magic, he had to choose to believe the reason why Andy left. However, the old Ollivander had no way of understanding his grandson's motives for taking this action.

And it is precisely because it is very clear that after the old Ollivander lost his only grandson, there is no suitable heir to inherit his legacy. Therefore, Violet has the mentality of giving it a try.

He ran to find old Ollivander, hoping that he could become his teacher.

"How long has it been since my grandson disappeared from the island? You actually came here to tell me that you want to learn the art of making wands? It was entirely because of your reports that you lost your grandson.

As my grandson, don’t you think it would be particularly embarrassing and unnatural for you to come face to face with me now?”

"That's really embarrassing. I don't have the slightest idea." Originally, it was just because Andy had asked them to help find snakes on the island, so they roughly guessed that he might be a foreign force.

As a downline developed in the school, if Violet had not heard Helena's testimony, she would not have known at all that the person who searched for the injured owl on the thunder ship was

That's Andy.

"What political stance your grandson holds is his own decision, and it will not change in any way because of my thoughts and actions. Therefore, it is only him who chooses to escape from the island.

It’s just my personal wish. I didn’t distort the facts and use fabricated charges to frame him. Therefore, since I just told the truth, I don’t think I did anything wrong at all.”

"Even if Senior Andy doesn't reveal his true colors this summer, as long as he wants to overthrow the current regime in the British wizarding world, it will definitely be a matter of time before he chooses to part ways with your grandfather. It's not at all possible.

It may change. Therefore, at this moment, it is just something that will happen sooner or later. Why do you think I feel embarrassed and unnatural?"

"..." If Violet is the foreign force lurking in the school, then the old Ollivander can still treat Violet because he believes that she is the one who led his grandson into evil.

Violet didn't have a good attitude. However, the fact was that this was not the case. Therefore, facing Violet who had never interfered with Andy's political stance, even if Old Ollivander had a complicated mood, he could not

It is impossible to speak harshly.

"Okay, even if your statement is well-founded and indeed the truth, why do you think that I will definitely accept you as my disciple and pass on all my skills to you?"

"Because you no longer have an heir, right? If your brothers and sisters were willing to do the same job as you, then Ollivander's shop cannot only have you as an old craftsman. And you and your

Your wife only has one child, so if Andy’s father is not interested in this business, it is simply impossible for you to pass the store on to your son."

"Your brothers and sisters who are engaged in different jobs in different industries, their children are just like Senior Andy's father. They also have no interest in the art of making wands. And their children, from the perspective of blood,

In fact, we are already very far apart from you. Therefore, when the blood relationship between you is no longer strong, and their last name is not Ollivander at all, you

Don’t you think that from these two aspects, there is no difference between them and me, and they have nothing to do with the so-called family inheritance?”

"You are now old, and the time you have to cultivate the next generation is very limited. In the past ten years or so, you have been trying to cultivate Senior Andy, but now you are in vain.

In fact, you can no longer guarantee that you will still have one like this for more than ten years."

"If you want to become an excellent wand maker, it is very important to work with these raw materials when you are still young, and spend enough time to master and hone the basic craftsmanship.

So in other words, if an adult novice chooses to work in this industry, the progress he can make in a short period of time is very limited."

Whether it is physical strength or mental strength, these basic abilities will always show an obvious downward trend as the person's age increases after a person reaches adulthood. Moreover, after adulthood, work income and social status need to be taken into consideration.

For many reasons, adults will be eager to get rewards when doing a certain job.

"Compared with teenagers, people in their thirties obviously have no advantage in many aspects such as their five senses and brain calculation speed. Moreover, these people who are burdened with the pressure of supporting their families do not have that advantage at all.

Possibly, I could work as an apprentice for several years without caring about my income."

"Making a wand is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Learning the complicated craftsmanship is certainly not something that can be completed in ten days and a half. Therefore, if you want to find someone to inherit your mantle, choose an adult. It is obviously not possible.

This is not a good thing. After all, they are very eager to calculate the return on investment, and it is impossible to really calm down, start from the basics, learn and master such a complex and wonderful skill bit by bit."

"While those adults are not suitable, Mr. Ollivander, you want to find a suitable young person, which is actually not easy. After all, children who have not yet reached school age, they are

Their ability to understand things is limited, and they are basically unable to perform any decent magic. Therefore, judging from their own personal abilities, they are not up to standard. As for those teenagers who have entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,

Because they are so busy with their classes and have difficulty entering and exiting the school freely, it is impossible for them to come and learn from you."

"So, at this moment when you don't have much time to train your successor, don't you think that I am actually quite suitable?"

"I have already taken the skipping exam before I entered school, and it only takes three years at most from enrollment to graduation. Don't you think that I can have a lot of time at the most suitable time?"

Do you want to invest your energy and energy in learning the craftsmanship of making wands?"

"Furthermore, I also have an extraordinary memory given by the Fountain of Praris. Even if I am not able to understand and master something immediately when I study it, as long as my good memory is there,

So, whatever I see, whatever I hear, these things can actually be played back in my mind."

"If I can't understand something thoroughly once, I can go through it a second time, a third time, or a fourth time. So, don't you think that I am actually quite good in terms of qualifications and accomplishments?"

Of?"

"Although the herbal medicine classes offered in the school do not cover a wide range of plants that are usually used to make the casings of wands, the Care of Magical Creatures class still covers most of the cores that can be used to make wands.

of animals. Therefore, since I have very good grades in these two subjects and an amazing knowledge reserve, don’t you think that as a person with such a foundation, I will follow you to learn how to make a wand?

Will it be more effective in the process of craftsmanship?”

"..." After the past period of contact with each other, in fact, he already knew how many complicated potions Violet could make at the age of twelve. Old Ollivander was very surprised.

It is clear that this kind of person who pays attention to details, is meticulous in doing things, and is also quite cautious and rational will be very suitable if he wants to engage in crafts that require calmness and careful craftsmanship.

"I admit that your abilities and qualities are indeed good, but why you came to learn this craft from me is completely unclear to me."

"For self-preservation." With the knowledge of potions and herbal medicine that she now possesses, it is no longer a problem for Violet to support herself in the magical world. Moreover, her grandmother has passed away long ago.

He also left her a fortune that, although not luxurious, was definitely wealthy. Therefore, if it was just to have a skill in eating, then there was no need for Violet to come here at all.

Learn the craft of wand making.

"Do you want to protect yourself..." It is very clear that even if the magic world is still peaceful today, the French and German organizations will definitely break this peace one day in the future. It is impossible for old Ollivander

I don’t understand what Violet means by self-protection.

"Yes, it's not just about protecting myself and my partners. I hope that one day in the future, when there is great turmoil in the magical world, any wizard who wants to defend his basic rights will be able to have the right skills.

Weapons to help you fight against hostile forces."

Although he has been making weapons all his life, he always believed that what he made was an exquisite work of art, not a murder weapon at all. Old Ollivander knew very well that in the face of the inevitable trend of the development of the times, Violet

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea of ​​directly treating the wand as an out-and-out weapon.

"I actually have no interest in inheriting the old store in Diagon Alley. Whether it's the expensive storefront or the mountains of merchandise inside, their economic value doesn't mean anything to me.

Meaning. All I want is to do everything possible before things get to the worst possible point."
