Chapter 63 - Sacred 28 ?ssemble Part 1 (2/2)
She laughed, ”well, you too wore it”. As she raised her arm towards him, he grinned as he clashed the bracelet with his making a *ting* sound. While Samuel has a big smile on his face, Oakley also staring at the girl and thought, ”hmm, this little girl isn't bad. She's from the Greengrass family and also good friends with Neal. A good match for my grandson indeed”.
Then he looked at Samuel, ”Although she's this greedy fellow's daughter. Sigh...” As both of them entered, Neal continues to stand there waiting for others. Next, Carl Macmillan arrived with his son, Tomas Macmillan, a fifth-year Ravenclaw.
Then, to his great surprise, Garrick Ollivander arrived at the Mansion. Even Oakley was surprised to see this person, the best wandmaker in all over Europe. As he looked at Oakley, he said, ”English Oak wand with Pheonix feather I presume?”.
Oakley nodded, ”you still remember it even though it's been more than 70 years”. Then, Ollivander towards Neal with a smile, ”ah, Mr. Slytherin. Did you master the BlackWalnut wand?”. Neal nodded, ”yeah. But I also found my destined wand. Would you like to look at it?”.
As Ollivander nodded, Neal first gave him the Balckwalnut wand which he touched and tried to bent it while closing his eyes, ”yes, you have attained this wand's complete loyalty. Congratulations”. Then, Neal took out Basilisk wand and handed it to him after activating it with parseltongue, ”Awake”. As Ollivander checked the wand, he looked at Neal with a shock, ”where did you get this wand? This wand is made of snakewood. One of the rarest wood available ever. I heard only Ilvermorny has possession of it. And the core is unheard of. Did you know what core it is?”.
Neal replied, ”it's Basilisk horn”. Hearing the answer, Ollivander nodded, ”oh, I see. I have never seen a part of Basilisk before. That's why it is very unfamiliar to me. Snakewood and Basilisk horn eh? Hmm, this is Salazar Slytherin's wand. Isn't it?”.
As Neal nodded, he continued, ”what a rare wand indeed. The thousand-year-old wand which is second only to Elder wand but only loyal to a parselmouth. The lost wand in history.
It says it has been sleeping for the past four centuries and you aren't strong enough to wake it up completely from its slumber. Fascinating. A wand that can sleep by itself. Salazar Slytherin is a great wand maker indeed”.
After he went inside, later Theodore Nott with his father arrived together with Pansy Parkinson and her uncle along with Milicent Bulstrode and her mother. Then, Felix Rosier, a young man of 25 arrived, after him, Delta Travers, one of the betrayers of Voldemort arrived.
At last, Selma Yaxley arrived with her gorgeous daughter Celia Yaxley, a sixth-year student of Beauxbatons Academy. She greeted both of them with proper etiquette but was taken back in fear when she saw the snake in Neal's left arm.
As everyone he expected arrived, Oakley turned back and just when he said, ”Neal, let's go”, he heard a cart sound arriving. He turned back to see a person he didn't expect to arrive. As the person stepped down, Neal asked, ”who is he that even you are surprised to see? Oakley replied, ”Bartemius Crouch Senior, the one who hates the Dark side to the core. The one who sent my sons, brothers and their families to Azkaban. He's so ruthless that he even send his son to the Azkaban without batting an eye”.
