Is The Cold Pine Wand A Crisis?

I saw Ollivander waving gently towards the shelf behind him. A few boxes flew over.

"Try this one, kid!"

"Cedarwood, nine and one-third inches long, a very strong wand, with a unicorn hair core. Same as your parents."

As he spoke, the other party took out a brown wand. The wand looked very ordinary without too many gorgeous decorations, just like the characteristics of Cedrus wood itself.

But before Braun could grasp his wand, Ollivander drew his hand back again. It seemed a little bit of a godsend.

"No, not that. Try this again!

Beech, ten-inch core I used dragon heart string. The pattern of beech wood is very beautiful. They are often found in the homes of learned wandmakers. The choice of beech wood is also very interesting. If a teenager, he or she has wisdom beyond his or her years; if an adult, he or she must be reasonable and experienced."

Taking the beech wand, Braun tried to swing it. It's a pity that the light from the tip of the staff was extremely weak. Braun could even feel the wand resisting him.

"Oh, it doesn't look like it chose you."

Ollivander was also a little disappointed. After all, beech wood is the most valuable wood, and the wand price is also the highest. You must know that even though the wand is only seven galleons, it's a subsidy for students. The remaining costs are covered by the Ministry of Magic. Of course, although less money was made, Ollivander quickly became excited after a brief disappointment. The pickier the wizard, the more he likes it. Because it gives him a sense of accomplishment.

"Try this! Chestnut! It's kind of twelve inches long."

"How about this? Cedarwood, suitable for those wizards with extraordinary wisdom and insight!"

"Blackthorn! I remember your uncle Dolphin having this wand. They use black magic to great effect!"

"..."

One wand after another passed through Braun's hand. At the same time, there were more people in the store.

It's a couple with a daughter. Although the other party didn't say anything, Braun still felt a little guilty for keeping the other party waiting. Just as he wanted them to choose first, Ollivander came out of the back room again.

"Honestly, boy, you're the most picky customer I've seen in the past two years."

Braun gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"So, try this!"

The other party handed over a reddish-brown wand with a particularly delicate wooden appearance.

"Pinewood, eleven inches long, with a dragon's heartwood core."

Braun takes the wand. The tip of the staff instantly released sparks. At the moment, holding this wand, Braun could feel it; this was the wand he was going to choose!

He felt the joy faintly conveyed by the wand and the smooth feeling of magic power flowing through the wand. There was also some excitement in Braun's heart.

"Life activated!"

Braun impatiently cast a spell on the teacup on the table. Then the teacup chattered endlessly as if it had come to life.

"Hey! Old man! Remember to brush me clean every day, and I don't like coffee in my body! I like tea! Especially black tea."

Afraid that the teacup would say anything bad again, Braun quickly canceled the magic. But the excitement on his face couldn't be concealed.

Instead, Ollivander sighed slightly.

"To tell you the truth, child, I don't like you being chosen by the cold pine wand."

Seeing Ollivander's disappointed expression, Braun's excitement also cooled down, and he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Cold pine wands are often called'survivor's wands.' My stern grandfather, Gabbard Otavi Ollivander, once sold fir wands to three wizards, who later survived mortal danger unscathed. But what I will say is that I think that every wizard with a cold pine wand is more likely to be in danger. The resulting wands require endurance and strong will from their true masters, and they are poor helpers in the hands of capricious and indecisive characters. Usually, people with this type of personality are more likely to encounter danger than normal wizards. I can help you find another wand if you want."

Logically, such words should not be said. As a wand maker, it was his duty to deliver wands to their masters. Good or bad, regardless of the outcome, But wizards are people too. Also have their own feelings. He has a good relationship with Braun's grandmother. He didn't expect Braun's future to be rocky.

Hearing each other's explanation, Braun looked hesitant. But it didn't take long for his eyes to become firm again.

"No, Mr. Ollivander. I firmly believe that this is my wand and my companion after stepping into the wizarding world. As you once said, 'Not only the wizard chooses the wand, but the wand chooses the wizard!'"

Braun said it firmly. If you say you haven't signed in to the system, maybe you will listen to the other person. Choose a wand again. Live the life of the college honestly. Find a classmate to marry. Then, when Voldemort invaded, he relied on his uncle's relationship to protect himself wisely. Stay at home. After waiting for the victory of the Order of the Phoenix, he lived an ordinary life, relying on his ancestral property, and became a rice bug waiting to die.

But all this changed after I had a sign-in system. With the help of the system, my life will definitely not be so mediocre. My future must be vigorous and bright.

Then compare it with the crises you may encounter in the future. The illusory crisis brought by the cold pine wood wand seems insignificant.
