A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 753 The Old Man's Wand, how shameless is that!

I don't have the Elder Wand.

Really!

No!!"

Sitting in the creaking old chair, Grigorovich first gave himself a triple denial.

He wiped away his tears again and said painfully:

"In my life, I may have possessed the Elder Wand, but like quicksand slipping through my fingers, it is all gone in the end..."

When Grigorovich opened his mouth, he sounded like the old Emperor Yongzheng, as if the magic wand belonged to his concubine Zhen Huan, his tone filled with deep sorrow.

Although Grigorovich was devastated, his words still conveyed a clear message:

He once possessed the Elder Wand, but lost it again.

"Where did you get that wand?"

William conjured two small stools, one for himself and one for Hermione, and they sat down in the shade.

Grigorovich tugged at his hair, sighed deeply, and honestly said:

"The Elder Wand has a clear history."

It may be interrupted, disappearing from the wizard's sight, but it will always reappear.

"How did you know that it was the Elder Wand that appeared?" Hermione asked.

"The Elder Wand has certain identifiable features that anyone who has studied wand science will recognize."

Wand studies is the study of the history of wands and their magical properties.

It is complex and mysterious, and it is not taught in schools.

It's like many ancient crafts, passed down either through families or through apprenticeships... a master-apprentice system.

Cedric was even Ollivander's apprentice.

"There are some written records, some of which are obscure, and some of which are just clues."

When it comes to specialized knowledge, Grigorovich speaks much faster.

"And I have done special research and identified the past owners of the Elder Wand."

William and Hermione both pricked up their ears and listened intently.

The history of the Elder Wand is unknown to most wizards.

William's entire knowledge also came from the story of the three brothers.

As for where the Elder Wand went after the eldest brother lost it, that's not quite clear.

Grigorovich picked up a wand, placed it on his lap, and remained silent for a moment, as if deep in thought.

After a long while, he said in a low voice:

"The Elder Wand has a bloody history; it is a coveted artifact that arouses intense desire among wizards."

Since the three brothers, this is the first written record of an elder wand with particularly powerful and dangerous magic. Its owner was named Murric, known as "The Villain".

He was a wizard with extremely high offensive power. In the early Middle Ages, a reign of terror was implemented in southern England.

"But he died in a duel with a wizard named Egbert."

Egbert obtained the Elder Wand, but was soon killed in another duel, after which the Elder Wand temporarily disappeared.

Hermione asked skeptically, "If the Elder Wand is invincible, then why was its master defeated?"

Grigorovich shook his head and said, "Child, the wand is invincible, but the wizard is not!"

Don't confuse this point, after all, not all wizards are the same in terms of strength.

The Elder Wand can indeed enhance its owner's power, but there are limits to its effectiveness.

Grigorovich said quickly:

"A century later, the Elder Wand reappeared, this time with a master named Godrot.

William frowned and said, "Goldrot..."

"You've heard of him?" Grigorovich asked William.

"Yes, his book, 'The Poisonous Magic,' is in the Hogwarts library," William said.

He had previously researched information about Horcruxes.

Horcruxes are mentioned in "The Most Poisonous Magic," but only in one sentence:

The Horcruxes, the most evil magical invention, will not be discussed or instructed here.

William even criticized Godlot at the time, calling him a fool and asking why he brought it up if he wasn't going to write about it.

I never expected this person to have possessed the Elder Wand.

"That's right, 'The Most Poisonous Magic' was indeed written by Godrot, a book specifically about black magic, and..."

Grigorovich's eyes were deep and penetrating.

"It was written with the Elder Wand's help!"

"What? With the Elder Wand's help?" Hermione asked in surprise.

She now feels that the old man's longevity may mean that his former rationality has also disappeared.

"Excuse me, sir. You mean, the Elder Wand told Godrotte about a lot of unknown dark magic?"

"That's right, child!"

Grigorovich's eyes gleamed with fervor as he spoke of the Elder Wand's magic.

"I see doubt in your eyes, which is normal; you know very little about wands!"

The old man's temper flared up, and he seemed to glare at the person who had just been crying, as if it wasn't him who had been crying.

He shouted:

Ollivander often said: "The wand chooses the wizard."

This statement is not nonsense.

"The wand, as our friend, also has its own consciousness."

Grigorovich stood up and said in a loud voice:

Don't believe me?

A wand made from thunderbird tail feathers can sense danger and cast spells in advance;

Twin wands with the same core will force each other to use the Flashback Charm when they fight!

I could give you a whole host of examples of wands having consciousness; how do you explain that?

William and Hermione were speechless.

Grigorovich said in an admiring tone:

"The wand also has the ability to learn."

Those familiar with wand science know that wands can indeed absorb the user's skills.

Most wizards prefer to use a wand that they "choose" rather than any secondhand wand.

Because a secondhand wand may have picked up some habits from its previous owner, which might not match the new owner's magical style.

Grigorovich's eyes flickered: "And the Elder Wand, it has been with many powerful dark wizards throughout history, and knows a great deal about the realm of dark magic."

Therefore, when it encounters its evil master, Godrot, it will offer him some assistance.

"And then what happened?"

"Later..." Grigorovich sat back down in his chair, swaying slightly as he spoke:

"Godlot's mad son, Hereward, locked his father in a magical cellar, starved him to death, and then took the Elder Wand."

William was also slightly taken aback.

Compared to Sirius Black and his mother, this is true filial piety.

"In the eighteenth century, the Elder Wand reappeared, and its owner was Barnabas Devriel," Grigorovich continued.

"He killed many wizards, earning himself the reputation of 'the terrifying wizard'."

Grigorovich suddenly lowered his voice:

"Later, the infamous Lothias seized the wand and ended Barnabas's reign of terror."

Then, Lochia also died. But many people claim that he was killed, including his own mother.

"But actually, that wand ended up in Acus's hands."

Grigorovich's eyes narrowed in fear.

"I found Acus, who was nearing his death."

He wanted to end the Elder Wand's fate and took it to the tomb.

He begged me not to take it... but I still snatched it away!

You have no idea what the Elder Wand means to a wandwitch!

If I could replicate that power in other wands...

my darling!"

Grigorovich's eyes were red.

Hermione asked, puzzled, "Back then, nobody knew where the Elder Wand was. Now that you had it, why did you reveal it?"

Grigorovich stared wide-eyed and said:

"I've studied it for many years and discovered some properties of the Elder Wand. That research allows me to make wands that are more powerful than other wands."

Then, I don't know what happened, I seemed to go mad.

A voice kept running in my head:

If I don't tell anyone, how will others know that I can replicate the Elder Wand's properties!

How could the wizards know that the wands I make are far superior to those of other wandmakers!

Back then, Ollivander was far more famous than I was!

Promoting that you can replicate the Elder Wand will definitely boost your business.

As a result, Grigorovich became one of the three major wand merchants in Europe.

This is similar to Ollivander's tendency to create dramatic situations when selling wands; it's all for the sake of selling wands.

Make money, not shabby.

But if you leak this information, how can you possibly keep the Elder Wand?

If the Elder Wand truly possesses consciousness, then it has clearly grown tired of being with Gregorovich, which is why it has begun to bewitch its master.

Sure enough, the Elder Wand is a traitor too.

It seems like Nie Feng's mother, who holds the title of "Number One Beauty in the Martial Arts World," will side with whoever is the most powerful.

The Elder Wand

How shameless!
