Chapter 10: Platform 9, where the dream begins

Two days later, Lin Xia quit her part-time job at Ollivander's, received 15 gold Galleons, and also got a wand of her own.

"Thestral tail feathers, made of beech, 13 inches, a very extraordinary wand." Ollivander looked at Lin Xia, his light-colored pupils like a full moon hanging high in the sky.

"The power of the Thestrals can only be seen by those who have seen the dead. The wizarding world once believed that they were the creatures closest to death. Some even said that they were created by the god of death."

He kept talking, stroking the wand box with his hand, reluctant to let it go.

"Using it as a wand core is the most erratic; it might be strong, or weak. The beech material accentuates its characteristics.

Only wizards with superior intelligence compared to their peers can wield it. Narrow-minded and bigoted people will never be able to unleash its true power."

Lin Xia took the wand nonchalantly.

"...someone once offered 10,000 gold Galleons for this wand, but I could tell at a glance that he wasn't the wand's owner, so I refused."

Lin Xia coughed lightly and carefully placed the wand into the wand box.

Ollivander suddenly said, "Lin Xia, I know you want another wand, but at this stage, this wand is more suitable for you."

It wasn't surprising that he saw through Lin Xia's thoughts. After all, she often touched the magic wand while working, trying to see if she could use metaphysics to deepen the connection.

"Well, it has a core made of horned water snake horn, and is made of black walnut. It's 14 inches long and unusual. It possesses keen intuition and powerful insight, and will warn its owner when in danger. It's a very powerful and extraordinary wand."

Ollivander shook his head and said nervously, "Oh, snake horn, snake horn! I remember a great wizard also used snake horn to make a wand. That was Salazar Slytherin, and he used the horn of a basilisk!"

"The basilisk is such a magical creature. I heard it's also the favorite pet of the god of death. Isn't it magical?" he asked.

Lin Xia's heart trembled slightly, and she whispered back, "But that's not suitable for me."

Ollivander smiled and gently stroked the little wizard's head: "You know, there are many things in the world that can avoid risks. I hope you are on the right path."

Looking at Lin Xia's leaving back, Ollivander suddenly had an inexplicable premonition.

——He seemed to see a new crescent moon rising.

Dear Mr. Ollivander:

Hello! How are you feeling lately?

By the time you receive this letter, I should be at Hogwarts, or on my way there.

My heart is extremely excited when I enter the new college. I often think of your teachings: stay humble, maintain passion, and stay on the right path.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, I was overwhelmed with homesickness and ordered a lot of delicious food to worship the bright moon. Only a small part of it went into my stomach. I believe you can understand my homesickness. In a foreign country, my hometown is my deepest concern.

Their bills will be collected by you for signature at the end of the month. In case you don’t understand, I would like to explain this to you. The students will always remember your generosity!

Also, I regret to tell you that the dragon nerves in your inventory were accidentally boiled in boiling water by me and swallowed by mistake.

But it doesn't matter, I only took half by mistake, the other half is still on the shelf. My family has helped me solve the problem of the conflict between my body and the overflowing magic power. Sir, you don't need to worry about my health.

Finally, I still want to say one thing: You are the most generous boss and the most generous teacher!

wish:

Good health and a lot of money

Student/Staff: Lin Xia

August 31】

Enclosed: "Report on my discovery that the magic magnet can form a magical magnetic field and resonate with magic"

A separate note accompanying the report: I may have discovered a completely new way to make magic wands, but I still need to perfect it and need your help, sir. May we both be on the right track!

On August 31st, the permanent staff felt that Mr. Ollivander was acting strangely.

First he laughed helplessly, then he shouted and scolded, and finally he stared at a report with a serious expression, muttering:

"This is truly a novel discovery, perhaps a great one. She actually found a completely new way to make a cane. Although I can't see her doing it, it always makes me feel like a moron."

"Mom, there are so many people here!"

On the train platform, Draco looked around curiously with the heart of a child. He had never been to a place with so many people.

Narcissa said, “Most of the people here are Muggles, and this station is a very popular one among Muggles.

"Child, I should take you to Muggle markets more often. That's what we call crowded markets! Although it's not elegant to be crowded, we can stand in a safe and open place and watch."

"Okay, here we are. The wall between the ninth and tenth floors. It's a magical wall. It's protected by a Muggle-shielding charm. Muggles can't get in."

Xia Li handed Lin Xia a small brown deerskin bag with a cute little bear pendant hanging on it.

"Xiao Xia, you must be sensible and obedient after entering the academy. If you want to do bad things——"

Xia Li paused. Lin Rui held his wife in one hand and their daughter in the other, and escorted them through the magic wall. "Then we must cover our tracks!"

Xia Li and Lin Rui personally sent Lin Xia onto the train. They left only when the train started moving and the crimson steam train could no longer be seen.

Lucius and Narcissa wanted to leave early, but when they thought of the Eastern sorcerer who was far more powerful than them standing on the platform and watching the children leave, they decided not to leave.

We may not be able to compete in terms of ability, but we can certainly compete in terms of children’s education, right?

Even if we can't beat them, can't we still learn from them?

On the train, Lin Xia didn't turn around to look for a seat until she lost sight of her parents.

Relying on the reputation of the Malfoy family, Draco politely asked the people in a box to leave, and did not forget to give each of them a gold Galleon as compensation.

Lin Xia does not reject the privileged class. Who can resist money?

However, Lin Xia also reminded: "Draco, if someone is unwilling to give up their seat, don't force them. Someone will always give up their seat."

Since taking Muggle courses and heir courses, Draco has put away his outward pride, but he still has the arrogance of the Malfoy family in his bones.

Draco smiled noncommittally and said in a boastful tone: "Lin Xia, no one can refuse the Malfoy family except the strong who don't need anyone to rely on."

Lin Xia looked thoughtfully at Harry Potter, the boy who survived with a lightning scar on his forehead, who was surrounded by the crowd outside. They had seen him in the robe shop before.

"Draco, you're wrong, like him."

She pointed at Harry outside: "Since he defeated You-Know-Who, he has never relied on the ancient Potter family."

Draco stiffened his stretched neck and fell silent.

Lin Xia pointed out, "You're just a child obsessed with family glory. You're far from mature. You don't understand that family glory is earned through hard work, not boasting."
