Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 146 Smear Campaign and Regret! Apology Action!

This statement reminded Ollivander, the wand maker who adhered to the principle of one wand per person, that he found it somewhat difficult to accept that Dugger possessed two wands at the same time.

“Mr. Deegg, now that Mr. Dursley has made your old wand loyal, please don’t be fickle and hoard a new wand!”

"Come on, return the new wand you just bought from me! I can give you back your Galleons!"

Ollivander stared at Digo, wanting Digo to return the goods and refund him.

Dige's face stiffened, and he quickly laughed it off: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to lock the door when I left home, I have to hurry back!"

With that, Dige turned and ran away in a panic.

Ollivander, old and frail, didn't chase after them.

It's clear he didn't have much hope of getting back Digg's new wand.

Once a magic wand is sold, it's like spilled water; whether it evaporates under the scorching sun or seeps into the ground to nourish flowers depends entirely on fate.

Ollivander has entered the wands' hearts and can sense their will and preferences, but he can only choose a suitable wizard master for each wand and cannot decide their fate after leaving the shop.

After all, wands are for wizards, not for them to lie in the shop and get moldy.

Master Ollivander closed his eyes and sensed the sentiments of the thousands of wands lying in boxes on the shelves. He silently walked back to the desk in the inner room, sat down, temporarily moved aside the half-written wand-making manual, tore out a blank piece of parchment, and began to write a letter to Dudley.

Since realizing Dudley's theory and successfully sensing the faint will of the wands, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to writing his book.

If it weren't for what happened today, he would have almost forgotten to write to Dudley to share the good news and thank Dudley for his preaching.

His original idea was to first write down the methods he had figured out for communicating with the will of the magic wand, from theory to practice, and compile them into a family manual to enrich the family's heritage.

Then, publish a simplified version of the book, listing Dudley Dursley as the first author and him as the second author, in order to enhance Dudley's reputation and repay him.

But now that I think about it, such a big matter should have been discussed with Dali first.

He couldn't just do it secretly on his own.

The words are divided into two parts.

After rushing out of Ollivander's wand shop in a panic, Digger encountered onlookers and a reporter from the Daily Prophet at the door.

Rita Skeeter was still sullen about Ollivander's earlier statement of backing down, and when she saw Digg's expression, she immediately hatched another wicked plan.

She raised her magic camera and started snapping away at Dige.

They captured the frantic escape of Duggee alongside the Ollivanders wand shop in the background, juxtaposing the two images.

She has already figured out how to write tomorrow's report.

Ollivander, the master rod maker, was not confident that he could surpass Dudley Dursley, the assistant instructor and recipient of the Order of Merlin, so he openly acknowledged that Dursley's rod-making skills were superior to his, thus earning a reputation for humility.

Secretly, he lured Mr. Digg, the owner of the wand, into the store alone, where he threatened and abused him to vent his displeasure.

Mr. Digg's panicked expression is proof of that!

Rita Skeeter grinned mischievously.

Ignoring Dee's protests against the inaccuracies in this morning's report and refusing to listen to anything Dee said, he left the scene with the rest of the Daily Prophet.

Meanwhile, Dige was surrounded by onlookers who wanted to buy the melons but couldn't get any themselves.

Many people had previously wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the old wand that Dudley had enhanced in the Diva concert, but now, even Master Ollivander is ashamed of his own inferiority, and the value of that wand has skyrocketed.

A large group of wizards who considered themselves wealthy gathered in front of Ollivander's wand shop, ready to auction off their own wands to Digg.

Among them were many two-faced Death Eaters from pure-blood families.

They had truly believed Digo's evil words, hiding their faces and trying to buy a powerful weapon strong enough to resist the Dark Lord, so they could take it home to protect themselves and save their lives.

At this moment, Dige regretted it.

He shouldn't have publicized this so much.

He made a big fuss, causing trouble not only for Dali and Ollivander, but also for them to start backfiring on him.

"I don't sell wands! These wands are mine! They were specially enhanced for me by Mr. Dursley! You can't use them!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Digg erupted. He pulled out the old wand that Dudley had enhanced for him and roared, "Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll blast you all onto the roof with one spell!"

This is a magical wand that can even injure the mysterious man; get out of my way if you don't want to die!

Dige went wild, but the crowd quieted down.

They silently made way for Dige.

They all stared in awe at the phoenix-patterned magic wand that the disco singer was holding.

They had already believed in Digg's lies and acknowledged the power of the wand, so of course they dared not gamble now.

Moreover, it's not the Black Demon King in power now, but the White Demon King.

The two-faced Death Eaters kept their tails between their legs; how could they dare to rob and cause trouble in public?

They could only watch as Dige left unharmed.

……

Hogwarts.

The precious first weekend of the new school year did not allow Dali to have a relaxing time.

Digg's outrageous actions and Rita Skeeter's disgusting reports left him speechless, but he didn't take them to heart.

Dudley is a man who rarely hides his secrets, especially now that he has an overwhelming advantage in strength and influence, so he is even less worried about exposing such a minor issue as his rod-making technique.

He'll deal with that shrewish, foul-mouthed little beetle, Rita Skeeter, sooner or later.

What truly concerned Dali was an incident that occurred on Sunday afternoon.

He hasn't been spending much time with Harry and his friends these past few days. He's either been reading in the library or practicing the Precision Killing Charm, making his own wand, and studying the Ancient Magic of Love Protection at the Room of Requirement.

So when Harry went to apologize to Malfoy for what happened in the last flying lesson, Dudley wasn't with him.

Hermione and Ron went with Harry.

After two days of mediation, Hermione, along with Neville, apologized to Harry and Dudley for blocking their way, and the group reconciled.

With Dudley gone, the original trio of main characters will naturally stick together through thick and thin.

They found the Malfoy trio on the playground outside the castle and walked over to them.

This startled Malfoy, who frowned, while Crabbe and Goyle instinctively took two steps back.

The Malfoy trio looked around, east and west, and only when Dudley wasn't nearby did they relax and regain their courage.

"Hey! Isn't this Mr. Harry Potter, who's no longer the savior? What are you doing here? Are you trying to misunderstand me again?"
