Chapter 12: the strange wand is Costly
Plants are immortals, if there is no external interference most plants, especially grass would never die. At the same time plants are ruthless that they could consume anything to survive and grass has the highest form of survivability in this world.
Grass can survive in the extreme weathers and even flourish at that place. As for the druid magical creature, it is a plant based living creature that is like a leader in the plant based creatures with sentience and without sentience.
A person that wants to get this wand needs to have the strong survival instinct and special nature to gain the allegiance of this kind of wand. Fortunately Jack fits the bill. When Ollivander gave this wand to Jack, Jack made a simple swish.
Immediately the flower in the small pot at the window still on the side showed vitality again. It is like it came back to life and bloomed fully almost immediately. With that the wand is set for Jack.
Ollivander looked a little stunned as he did not expect that the seemingly stubborn black family has this kind of heart. Grass can bend in any direction. In typhoon the big trees might fall but the grass root would stay still no matter what.
Even the great forest fire could not stop the grass from growing back almost immediately. With this wand in the hands of the heir of the black family, he was sure that the things are about to change in a different way.
Naturally the black family is down for a long time and Jack is the only current heir other than Sirius black that is still in prison. So it is natural that he thought so. Jack seems to be satisfied with the wand and asked Ollivander about the price of the wand.
"Mister Ollivander, how much does this wand costs."
Ollivander came back to his senses and immediately said.
"It would be 20 gold galleons."
Even Lucius was shocked by the cost. Well it was costly. Jack touched the wand feeling its texture.
It looked like a green wooden stick that is still green but not dried. There is a strong sense of vitality coming from the wand and it actually bends to some extent even the core inside felt like still in liquid state.
The wand felt more like a rubber stick with light bending but not breaking. But there is also wooden nature with its stiffness base on his thoughts. It is very similar to the soft sword that as used as belt. All in all it is strange.
Jack can actually put it as bracelet on his hand instead of carrying it like other people. Well there are other ways too. But it was really convenient. As for the high cost of the wand, it is because it was made of special materials that are extremely hard to find.
In the current magical world finding these materials is hard. But still considering the current cost it was still very low in comparison to many things. Jack directly paid the 20 gold galleons and after that they left this place.
They still have to buy books and few more things. With the things he moved on with the Malfoy family to collect things. Lucius wanted to snatch the wand in Jack's hand because of its strangeness. But he was unable to do that because of the unbreakable vow.
Well it would be cheap for his character. But the frustration during this time has clearly caused some psychological problems. They returned back to Malfoy mansion. There is still time before they go to Hogwarts.
During this time Jack got familiar with his wand and also practiced some complicated fighting moves in secret. Nothing out of the ordinary just doing the motion while practicing instead of using a spell that might alert the ministry of magic.
Dobby noticed this but since Malfoy people did not ask he did not say about what it saw Jack doing. This is the same when he went to warn Harry. Since they did not restrict him he went to warn Harry secretly.
Without proper instructions it is not considered as betrayal of the master. It is the loophole that wizarding world never considered thinking that the house elves are stupid by nature. The time passed by quickly and finally it is the day they start to Hogwarts.
When Jack arrived with Malfoy family, he put most of the important things inside the space except for few packages for show. As for his pet Goldy, it was already sent to Hogwarts by Kreacher.
When Jack arrived at the station the girls group of pansy hopped around and came to speak to Draco. They did not put Jack in their eyes. None of the pure blood families have any good eyes for him except for the wealth behind him.
All they wanted is to look for the right opportunity to snatch his wealth from him. Unfortunately they did not have the chance. In the group of girls that came along with pansy there is one girl that did not look for Draco but looked for him instead.
It was Daphne. Previously most of their communication is through eyes. It is as if they can understand each other's thoughts just by looking at each other. Right at that time another family came that is full of people with red hair.
It was the Weasley family. It is not hard to find this family and he was able to see molly Weasley and she looked like a certain actress called Lauren Phillips. On the other hand Ginny looked more like a younger version of Jessica rabbits.
Jack was stunned looking at the mother and daughter. He is interested in them and he would not make any moves until later. He is an intelligent villain instead of stupid fool that charges head on. He would wait for a little longer before making any big moves.
