Chapter 6

And the Ollivanders have a special trait: they remember every wand they have sold and their owners.

Therefore, although pure-blood families still buy wands from him, some of them have ancient wands that have been passed down through generations—they do not fully trust the members of this family.

"Yes, I need a wand,"

Ollivander's eyes lit up as he said,

"Oh, yes, young wizards who come here all need a wand. According to the Ministry of Magic's regulations, I cannot sell wands to young wizards who have not received an acceptance letter. However, I think selling a wand to the head of the Black family is acceptable. So, young Mr. Black, which is your dominant hand?"

Fenix raised his right hand and said,

"Right hand, sir. And you can call me little Fenix, no need to call me Mr. Black."

Ollivander nodded and said,

"Alright, let me think. The Black family usually uses wands with dragon heartstring cores. Hmm, try this wand. Remember, it's not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand who chooses the wizard."

He handed a wand to Fenix and continued,

"This is a walnut wood, thirteen-inch wand."

As soon as Fenix took the wand, Ollivander snatched it back and shook his head,

"No, no, not this one. It's a bit off, a bit off. Try this one, blackthorn wood, dragon heartstring core, fourteen and a half inches."

Fenix took it, and this time, Ollivander did not snatch it back. However, after Fenix waved it a few times, he himself felt the awkwardness and incompatibility.

"Oh, yes, yes, this one doesn't fit either. You are a picky customer. Hmm, how about this one, elder wood, dragon heartstring core, thirteen inches, very flexible,"

Fenix took the wand and immediately felt a sense of connection, as if the wand was not just an object but a part of himself.

Ollivander smiled and said,

"Aha! That's it. Congratulations, Mr. Fenix. This wand has a highly personalized core, which others cannot use. It has principles and self-awareness, and the core can learn magic faster and more spectacularly, but it is also very easy to change owners. The wand's material balances the core's weaknesses, retaining the personalized and spectacular magical characteristics. You will surely become a great wizard, just like your ancestors."

Fenix took the wand and nodded to Ollivander,

"Thank you. How much is it?"

Ollivander's smile widened as he said to Fenix,

"Hogwarts students have a subsidy from the school, so the first wand is discounted. However, Mr. Black, at your age, you cannot enjoy this discount. Of course, I believe, as a member of the Black family, you wouldn't care about such a small discount. So, thirty-five Galleons."

Fenix nodded, and Kreacher stepped forward to hand the Galleons to Ollivander.

At this moment, Ollivander noticed that the Black family's house-elf was actually wearing clothes—a suit with the Black family crest, like a noble's butler.

He was shocked. After all, giving clothes to a house-elf is equivalent to expelling them from the family, and all wizards know this. Yet, Fenix had done it, and Kreacher had not left. This was quite unusual.

After handing the Galleons to Ollivander, Fenix heard a voice in his ear.

Ding~ Host obtained a wand, partial system permissions activated, magic book interface opened.

The appearance of this voice made Fenix change his original plan. Instead of going to the bookstore, he had Kreacher take him directly back to 12 Grimmauld Place in London.

Fenix was very clear that compared to buying books, the system was more important. Although he had great talent, or rather, was a rare genius in the magical world,

Fenix was also very clear that only a living genius is a true genius. Now, as a lone individual with all the Black family's assets, he was a juicy target for almost all dark wizards in the magical world.

To get out of this situation, Fenix could only rely on his system and those families that were friendly with the Blacks and had not yet turned against him.

Speaking of which, there were too many families in the magical world that were related to the Blacks, but at this moment, family ties were not so important.

The Malfoy family, for example, whose current matriarch is Fenix's cousin. However, if there was an opportunity, the Malfoy family would also try to take over the Black family's assets.

Therefore, the number of people or families Fenix could trust in the magical world was very small.

Dumbledore was one, but Fenix did not dare to fully trust him. After all, he was a cunning old man. The meticulous planning he did in the original story, when carefully considered, was quite terrifying. However, his existence could still be used against other families.

Dumbledore even used his own life in his plans. Such a person would sacrifice anything if necessary.

Apart from this half-trusted white wizard, there were the Weasleys and the Longbottoms, who were related to the Blacks by marriage.

The current head of the Weasley family, Arthur Weasley, is Fenix's great-great-uncle's great-grandson. And the matriarch, Molly Weasley, is his cousin. In terms of relations, Arthur can also be considered his cousin's father.

As traitors to the pure-blood families, the Weasleys are one of the few kind-hearted and not overly ambitious families.

As for the Longbottom family, Fenix did not want to contact them. After all, their head, Frank Longbottom, and his wife were driven mad by the Cruciatus Curse from Fenix's eldest cousin. Although the two families had some family ties, Frank was also Fenix's cousin.

Let's get back to Fenix.

He returned home, dismissed Kreacher, and then stayed in his room to carefully study the newly opened magic book interface.

This magic book interface was similar to the card collection albums from his previous life, but there were no specific names or sudden appearances, just blank slots.

Fenix understood the function of this interface, which was also the most powerful aspect of the system.

Any spell that appeared in this magic book could be directly mastered by Fenix. There were two ways to make spells appear in the magic book:

One was the gemstones he obtained from completing tasks. Once the store interface was opened, he could exchange gemstones for library access to draw spells.
