In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter
Chapter 274: The Same Wand

"Back then when I travelled to England, I specifically went to Diagon Alley Ollivander to choose a new wand, which is the one you hold in your hand." Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Grindelwald said indifferently.

"It did function very well, I basically seldom used the one I bought at Gregorovitch after I got it until later I got another wand that worked even better and replaced it, and then all three of my wands fell into the hands of Albus."

Jon looked at the wand in his hand, he had actually always felt that the wand he is using is even older than the one in the hands of Neville, Ron and others, it just before he did not think in terms of age, simply thought that the previous owner of the wand did not pay much attention to its maintenance.

Unexpectedly he got the definitive answer here from Grindelwald today.

Now he finally understands why not only Dumbledore, even Aberforth when he saw the wand in his hands showed that complicated expression, he said he once wanted to break this wand but was prevented by Dumbledore.

According to Grindelwald, this wand is his choice after going to Britain, that is to say, in the dispute and chaos at Dumbledore's house, this wand likely took the life of Dumbledore and Aberforth's sister Ariana Dumbledore.

"I actually did not expect that this wand, he would actually take it out and give it to a student to use, because it has a different meaning to him."

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Jon shook his head and said.

"No, sir, Professor Dumbledore never took this wand out, we choose wands from an old wooden cabinet in the Hogwarts Headmaster's office, at that time this wand of yours was placed in the innermost part of the cabinet, I just happened to see it, and thought it suited me, then picked it up."

When he said this Jon shrugged his shoulders, he raised the wand in his hand, and the tip of the wand, which already had obvious signs of wear and tears burst out with a brilliant cluster of silver flowers.

"And, of course, it also chose me."

Grindelwald looked at the spark that clearly represented the cheerfulness of the wand, and a momentary trance appeared in his eyes.

The reason he went to such lengths to poach Jon from Hogwarts over to Durmstrang was not only because he saw Jon's talent, but there was also another main reason, which is the wand he is holding in his hand.

Even if there is a difference in the technique of making a wand, there is a strong connection between a wand and a wizard, and the three European wand-making families are united at this point.

Because this is indeed a real thing, in the case of poor adaptability, some wizards even if they are strong, have no way to display their magic to their full potential with such a wand, it is due to a lack of compatibility.

And while a wand may be used by several different wizards, it is rarely perfectly suited to two wizards.

It is believed that if such a thing happens, there must be some similarity between the two wizards. Similar to a wand with the same core, it is rare for a wizard to get a wand with the same core and the same origin as another wand, which in itself represents an identical choice.

Now this wand once used by Grindelwald is perfectly adapted to Jon, which represents an implication, not only to Grindelwald, but even Dumbledore in the beginning also thought deeply for a long time.

At that time, Dumbledore specifically asked a wizard from the Order of the Phoenix to go to that Muggle orphanage and retrieve all the information about Jon, just to see if there is a possibility that Jon is the orphan or something from the distant Grindelwald family members.

But unfortunately, the pair of men and women who had abandoned Jon were completely traceable, and both of them had nothing to do with the Grindelwald family even if they were traced back to the past five generations.

There is no connection to be found in blood, then only certain characteristics overlap, but as far as it can be seen, at least Dumbledore did not find any similarity in character between Jon and Grindelwald.

Perhaps, both have leadership qualities that can be counted.

It is also because of the relationship of a wand, which let Grindelwald's mind actually have some different thoughts, which led to this play about which side Jon would ultimately be part of in the end dispute.

After coming out of the trance, Grindelwald again fell into thought about one of Jon's words.

"You felt it fit you the moment you saw it? What kind of feeling was that?"

Jon recalled.

"It was just sort of like being electrocuted, and I couldn't help but look toward that wand. The wand was placed very close to the inside of the cabinet, and I could tell that was Professor Dumbledore's way of not wanting to bring it out for his students to choose, but I couldn't help but pick it up and ask the professor if I could choose this?"

Grindelwald looked at Jon as he asked more deeply.

"When you were fighting the enemy, have you ever experienced a different kind of intuition even though you didn't see their wands aimed at you, hearing the sound of the incantation first?"

Jon scratched his head as he nodded and replied.

"It is true that sometimes this kind of gut feeling will appear, but not always, it is the kind of feeling which suddenly covers the body with goosebumps, with a distinct burst of sensation in the heart."

"Did Dumbledore provide you guys with divination class?" Grindelwald asked.

Jon shook his head.

"Not for the lower years, but after you advance to the fourth year, those who are interested in this subject can study under Professor Potter."

Grindelwald snorted.

"So, you call that a divination class? That can at most be called a divination hobby group. In fact, if Albus's student theory is to replace bloodline with talent, then it might be able to attract more superior supporters. Because the superiority of bloodline never existed, but the more naturally gifted wizards are indeed much more powerful than the ungifted ones, and divination is the kind of magic that demands the most in terms of innate talent."

Jon understood the deeper meaning of Grindelwald's words and blinked.

"Sir, you mean to say. I have a talent for divination?"

Grindelwald's face became calm as he took up his quill again.

"Having a talent does not mean that you can necessarily make good use of this talent, it still depends on how you develop it. Of course, if you had chosen to follow Albus on that wagon for the rest of your life, it would never have even been possible to develop it."

Seeing that his attention had shifted to the letter on his desk, Jon had the good sense not to bother around the office anymore, and said "Good night, sir." Then he left the Headmaster's office.
