Chapter 11: the strange wand
On the other hand Hagrid did not speak anything about Jack because he did not recognize Jack. Jack rarely made any appearance over the years after his grandmother died. Also Hagrid would not be invited to many parties.
So many people would not recognize him even if they saw him. Well they took a little longer to get the robes based on the arrangements of Narcissa. The robes have high comfort to wear as they are made with high quality materials.
As for the robes that harry ordered they are not as good as the robes that Narcissa ordered. She did not think if Jack was able to pay or not as she was sure that Jack has enough money for the clothes and other things.
She knows that black family well. After the clothes were prepared Jack paid 3 gold galleons for all the robes. Since it is two sets of clothes it took longer. Also Jack's group came right after harry so harry left first and their group left after that.
Now they went to the Ollivander's wand shop to buy their wands. Mr. Ollivander puts Draco off with his creepy demeanor while discussing the wands purchased by Lucius and Narcissa. After that he spoke about Jack's parents Sirius black and Mary Goldsman.
Draco was the first to buy his wand and the selection was quick. Draco Malfoy's wand was 10" long, made of hawthorn wood, and had a unicorn hair core. Now it was Jack's turn. Naturally choosing the wand has a great significance.
This is because the type of wand can tell the nature of the person. They want to know what kind of person Jack is. So they are eagerly waiting. Ollivander took one wand after the other but none of them went well with Jack.
Soon a small pile of wands are left on the side with none of them matching. Ollivander's fighting spirit has improved and started to take the old wands that were made by his fathers and grandfathers.
These wands are not special. It is just that they did not find the right owner over the years. Because of this those wands are collecting dust behind the shelves.
After an hour when Lucius and Narcissa are losing patience, Ollivander took out an old green box that is actually made out of grass leaves. The packaging is a little funny and primitive. But the strong vitality can be seen from the grass that is still green without withering.
If someone accidentally saw this they would think that this grass was cut just few minutes ago. There is even a soothing smell of freshly cut grass. After a little while of fiddling he took out something looked like grass stem.
Sometimes grass forms a pole like structure and section things in the middle when it grows tougher. It is just like bamboo and sugarcane which are grass varieties. The magical grass is special.
Every few hundred years there will be a grass stem formed from the grass. It has special properties and has a little more strength like the wooden texture. Also it has naturally hallowed internal structure for wand making.
Currently the magic is not available because of the rapid industrialization of the muggle world. Grass is originally wild in nature and it can grow anywhere. But to produce a strong things like grass stem it needs to stay undisturbed for a long time.
The long time means hundreds of years or even more. So there are not many materials related to grass stem in the current magic world. As for the wand core it was the heart of the magical creature druid.
Druid is not like that in the old European folk lore. There is druid like creatures all over the world. Some call them forest spirits or deities or even demons in some places of the world. They are usually female.
But because this place was dominated by males for so long they actually changed it over time thinking that druid is a man. To be precise they show druid as an old man holding a wooden staff. But that is actually not true.
They are more like a female spirit with long hair and either not wearing clothes or wearing clothes made of leaves and plant materials. The gods among them can reach to the level of gods like the goddess of earth or forest or huntresses…
Plant based magical creatures are rare and almost extinct in current magical world. The heart of druid would be in liquid state and when the druid dies the liquid solidifies forming a gem like substance that has strong vitality.
This is even rarer because the creatures with strong vitality never actually die. They need to be killed to get this thing. For this current wand core the heart of living druid was collected in liquid state and poured into a mold to create a cylindrical wand core that fits the grass stem.
They are both mixed with the adhesive of the liquid druid heart core forming the current wand. So this thing is technically a living wand. But it is in conscious less state. It emits vitality through a specific range.
To seal it they made this kind of plant based box that contains its vitality energy leak. If the wand got the owner the vitality would flow into him or her. So there will not be any vitality leak.
Another point here is that once the wand it formed it follows the principal of a wand to be used for magic amplification rather than being a plant again. There are invisible runes that change its nature. It is like coding.
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.
