Chapter 255 Ollivander’s Expectations
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspJust as everyone was cheering for Bruce to be awarded the Order of Merlin, another owl delivered a letter, this time it was a letter from Mr. Weasley. The content is to tell everyone that Bruce has won the Order of Merlin.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIt turns out that Mr. Weasley told the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge directly after arriving at the Ministry of Magic that Bruce gave him the charm. The news that a safe and extremely effective way to resist the Killing Curse was found undoubtedly shocked the Ministry of Magic.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspFor this reason, Cornelius Fudge even tested the effect of the spell himself. The result was naturally very good, and not only the killing curse, this little yellow paper The piece can also block other spells.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough Bruce is a standard bad student in Cornelius Fudge's heart, Cornelius Fudge must give him a reward for dedicating the spell. . You must know that there are too many wizards and Aurors who have died under the killing curse. In addition, some time ago, the master wand maker Mr. Ollivander submitted a wand reform plan, and the practitioner of the reform was also Bruce Sterling.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspEither of these two contributions is extremely important to the magical world. Because Cornelius Fudge immediately wrote to the Order of Merlin to explain the matter. Faced with these two results, even though Bruce was only a fourteen-year-old student, they decided to award Bruce the Second Class Order of Merlin.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspNo matter what, such a reward is absolutely reasonable for Bruce. After cheering, everyone happily set off to Diagon Alley after enjoying a delicious breakfast. Although what happened at the Quidditch World Cup caused a big shock, the fact that Bruce won the award somewhat diluted these bad memories.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter arriving in Diagon Alley, Bruce did not go shopping directly with everyone.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Okay, kids, I have to go to Gringotts first. Do Harry and Hermione need to come with me?" Mrs. Weasley said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said: "I just need to withdraw some money."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I also want to exchange some Galleons." Hermione said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMrs. Weasley said: "Well, the others will be waiting for us at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bruce, don't you want to withdraw the money?" Hermione asked.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "I want to go back to the wand shop. It is the beginning of school season and there should be a lot of people in the store. I want to go back to help."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione nodded and said: "Then we will help you buy things."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Okay, then you can wait for me at Tom's after you finish shopping. I will treat everyone to lunch at noon."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce handed Hermione the money and went to the wand shop.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBecause it was the beginning of the school year, there were many people visiting the wand shop. When Bruce walked into the wand shop, Ollivander was choosing wands for the two freshmen in the shop. . Although Bruce was half as good as him in making wands, he was still a little behind when it came to choosing wands. Ollivander, who attaches great importance to wands, naturally would not leave all the work in the shop to Bruce so carelessly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe two of them were busy until lunch when they had free time.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Teacher, I'm a little hungry. I want to go to Mr. Tom's to eat something. Do you need me to bring you something?" Bruce asked.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander said calmly: "No, I'm not hungry yet. I have something to tell you. I have already told you about the new wand. I wrote to the Ministry of Magic. They should have replied to you this morning."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen it came to this, Bruce said smugly: "I got it, you will never imagine what benefits they gave me."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander looked indifferent and said: "It should also be the Order of Merlin."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ah" Bruce said in surprise: "You know, I also want to give you a surprise."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA smile escaped Ollivander's face and he said; "I can guess it's normal, because the members of the Ollivander family are all members of the Order of Merlin. winner of
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Uh-huh." Bruce smiled awkwardly and said, "You might as well not say this so I can be proud for a while."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs the most prestigious wand-making family in the wizarding world, Ollivander once said that every generation of their family has made innovations in wands. Therefore, it is normal to receive the Order of Merlin. And when it comes to the number of Merlin Orders, the entire magical world combined may not necessarily have as many as the Ollivander family.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Teacher, have you also received the notification of the award?" Bruce asked.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander said: "No, I didn't."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "How is this possible?" Bruce said in surprise.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander said indifferently: "Because the reform of the new wand only has your name on it."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What?" Bruce was stunned, and then said very dissatisfied: "How could you do this? Teacher, the Lord of the Rings is your idea and achievement, how did it become Mine”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough Bruce perfected the Ring and made it a true wand. But the conception of The Lord of the Rings was Ollivander's work all the way to its birth, and Bruce naturally refused to agree to him giving all the credit to himself.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander smiled lightly and said: "Because you are my student, Bruce, I have reached the peak in wand making and will not make any progress. Space, although I created the Lord of the Rings, the reform of the wand was your idea, and I just created the Lord of the Rings according to your ideas."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Even so, this is the result of the two of us," Bruce said excitedly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"No, no," Ollivander smiled: "It's the result of you alone. You are my student, Bruce. You are right about everything about the wand." My inheritance. So this is what you deserve. The reason why the Ollivander family can occupy a place in history depends on this inheritance. What's more, I already have the Order of Merlin, so it doesn't matter if I have too much. use."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOllivander's words instantly brought tears to Bruce's eyes. Bruce has experienced a lot since coming to this world, including the helplessness and expectation at the beginning. There is the excitement and happiness of meeting friends like Harry, and there is also the surprise and panic when facing danger. In Bruce's words, he has accomplished more things so far than in his "previous" life combined. But the only thing that makes him feel helpless and uncomfortable is that he is an orphan.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspJust like what he said to Harry, no matter how good friendship is, it cannot replace family love. But luckily Bruce had a good teacher. Although everyone thinks Ollivander is a weirdo because of his stern speech, Bruce knows that Ollivander is a very honorable man.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspNot only because he is the greatest wandmaker in the wizarding world, but also because of the person he is. He is the kind of person who is not good at words but always cares about you. Only in him can Bruce feel the expectations and care of his parents.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce bent deeply towards Ollivander without saying anything. This kind of elder’s expectation cannot be described or replaced by any words.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Go and clean up. School will start in a few days. There must be a lot of things that need to be purchased. There is no need to come over in the afternoon." Ollivander said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter leaving the wand shop, Bruce came to the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Everyone had bought the necessary supplies, so Bruce treated everyone to a sumptuous meal of Chinese food. Mr. Tom was very excited when he learned that Bruce had been awarded the Order of Merlin and immediately promised to treat him to the meal.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe food was also very rich. The Ron family, Bruce, Hermione, and Harry ate more than ten dishes in total.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bruce, why don't we pay?" Mrs. Weasley said: "We ate too much, Mr. Tom will lose money."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley, Mr. Tom will not do a loss-making business. You see, making money has begun."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspEveryone looked towards the counter and saw Mr. Tom writing a sentence in the air with his wand: Bruce Sterling, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history, develops cuisine."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe colorful words were suspended in the air like neon lights, and it was difficult not to attract attention. After a while, I heard "Tom, let's have some Sterling Chinese food." Such words come and go.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Haha" Hermione smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Tom to be quite good at using celebrity effect."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspGeorge immediately said: "If I ask Mr. Tom for advice in the future, I will definitely learn a lot."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBut then something seemed wrong about these words.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Tom, get some Stirling topping."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp“Boss, I want Sterling’s explosive liver”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Dobby, freeze Sterling's skin quickly"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMy dear, the ordering voice almost covered every part of Bruce.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled bitterly: "It seems that celebrity effect is not suitable for all industries, especially in terms of food. Listening to these orders, I feel like I am going to be Dismember the body."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp“Haha”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe first day of school arrived two days later, and the students once again set foot on platform nine and three-quarters to go to Hogwarts. Ron, who had rarely read newspapers since he entered school, actually bought a copy of the "Daily Prophet" on the platform. He didn't read it, but used it to show off.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe news that Bruce won the Order of Merlin was published in the newspaper today. The title of "the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history" caused a shock among classmates. As you can imagine, his feats in the Quidditch World Cup at home will undoubtedly become the focus of discussion, and Ron, who has always been a "whisperer", will naturally not give up this opportunity to show off.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBut it was thanks to Ron's show-off that Bruce was not "surrounded" by everyone. As soon as he heard that he had won the Medal of Merlin and the Quidditch World Cup, all his friends at Hogwarts went to the box to inquire. This was when Ron's strengths were revealed. At this moment, the people in the next box were chatting away, and many onlookers made surprised sounds from time to time.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce read the newspaper and listened to Ron's excited explanation next door, and joked: "I think Ron can definitely be a host or storyteller in the future, with his eloquence Nothing more than imagination."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said with a smile: "Yes, you defeated the twenty-first Death Eater in his mouth."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce smiled and said, "I really admire him for telling the truth."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Actually, it's just an exaggeration. It will at least save you a lot of trouble, won't it?" Harry said with a smile.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Ron's explanation had finished and he returned to the box with satisfaction.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hey, it's a pity that you didn't come to listen. Everyone's expressions are really interesting," Ron said proudly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said helplessly: "Brother, please don't be so exaggerated next time, okay? I almost became a superman."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Art comes from life, and it is higher than life. It is normal to be exaggerated." Ron said with a smile, and then saw Bruce still reading the newspaper, He joked: "I see you also like my exaggeration. You are still looking at your own heroic deeds."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce showed the front page of the newspaper and said: "I'm not so narcissistic, I just want to see this." To be continued.
