Chapter 125: A new wand
“Is there someone inside the office?” Harry asked.
“The headmaster is currently. By himself.” The gargoyle answered.
“That's good then…open up.” He told it.
“That is not the correct pass-” The gargoyle stopped talking as the structure started to spin around, revealing a set of stairs.
Harry went up and found Dumbledore writing something on his desk.
“Mister Potter, is it very impolite to enter someone's office without permission. “ he said without lifting his eyes off the paper.
“But I brought you lunch as compensation for my rudeness.” Harry sat down in front of Dumbledore.
“There is something I need and I forgot to ask the other day,” Harry added.
Dumbledore lifted his face from the papers, looked at Harry, and then at the table.
“And where is this lunch that you mentioned?” He observed the empty table with an unimpressed face.
“Right!, hold on…Pipsy….”
Nothing happened.
“I don't think we have an elf with that name. “ Dumbledore commented.
“Papsy…Pasty?...how was it again?... Pispy!” Harry keeps saying names.
“You are starting to sound like Professor Lockhart when he tries to improvise a spell.” Dumbledore smiled.
“Aha!” Harry pointed his finger at the headmaster.
“So you knew he was useless.”
“He was also my only candidate. “ Dumbledore said.
“Now about this lunch….
“Pisky!” Harry just recalled the correct name and an elf appeared in the room.
“Master called?”
“Yes, remember that lunch I ordered before when I went to the kitchen? Can you bring it here?”
“Master never order any launch from Pisky…” The elf made a troubled face.
“I don't think you called the right elf. “ Dumbledore pointed out.
“Oh come on now…” Harry sighed.
“Pisky, can you bring us some sandwiches, juice, and…some of that delicious chocolate pudding, please?” The Headmaster requested.
“Of Course, Headmaster!” The elf disappeared with a pop.
“Somewhere in the castle, there is an elf waiting with my lunch…” Harry muttered.
“Oh well…” he stood up and walked to the Phoenix stand.
Fawkes glanced at him and gave out a cry. The creature looked a lot smaller now and only had a few feathers.
“Hey Fawkes, doing well?”
Fawkes gave out a happy cry.
“Glad to hear.” Harry grinned.
“He should be completely recovered in six or seven more days I believe. It was a good thing you managed to collect all of his ashes.” Dumbledore commented.
“He helped me out quite a bit, is the least I could do.”
A pop was heard and two trays with food appeared on the table.
Harry went to sit down.
“So, about my request…”
Dumbledore raised his hand.
“Before that, I would like you to promise me to not come into my office unannounced again. And no, the lunch that you didn't bring doesn't make up for that.”
“Very well, I will not abuse my authority…to enter your office,” Harry swore.
“I rather you didn't abuse it at all.” the old man frowned.
Harry looked at him with an impressive expression.
“So, about my request...I need a new wand.”
“Your wand is broken? did it get damaged during your fight with the beast? I'm sure Mister Ollivander can repair it in no time.”
“It didn't get damaged…the wand is gone, and so is the core,” Harry said.
“Gone?!, how is that possible? Are you suggesting a complete disintegration?” The Headmaster became more interested.
“Yes, I'm going to need everything new…Ollivander is not going to like that… he going to want to know how it happened.” Harry said.
“And how did it happen?” Dumbledore asked.
“I channeled too much magic in a very short amount of time.” Harry gave him a vague answer.
“I see…” The old man did not miss this. He wanted to ask more but it was obvious that Harry did not feel like saying much.
“In that case…you will need a new core.”
Dumbledore's eyes moved towards the Phoenix perch.
“I'm sure Fawkes would gladly donate one of his feathers for such a cause. He seemed to have grown fond of you. However, it will take at least a week before he is ready to do something like that.”
“A week?.... I supposed I can wait a week.” Said Harry.
At least, if he goes back with a core, Ollivander will ask less questions.
That will still leave the matter of his secondary wand. He cannot reveal that to the Old man. Having two wands is not exactly legal, especially for a student who has yet to pass his O.W.L.S.
‘If I recall correctly, there is a duo of talented wand makers in Spain that I could visit during the summer vacations.' Harry recalled.
And they could make me something capable of channeling more magic than a normal wand. It would be worth the wait.
“What about your classes?, would you be okay without a wand?” asked the Headmaster.
“I just tell them my wand broke and can't do any practical work. It should be fine.“
“Very well then. There are still two weeks left before the break. You should have your new wand before that….I assume you have no more requests?” The old man gave him an intense glance.
“Come on, Professor. Is not like I ask for much after saving the bloody school.”
“Language, Mister Potter. You are still a student here.”
“Right…how are things going with the basilisk materials? I would also have those stored at home during the break.”
“Severus is about to be done with the reparations to the outside. Then he can go down into the chamber and process the two beasts…it may take a few more days.”
“He is working hard, huh?...does he know it was me?” Harry asked.
“No…I decided to keep your involvement a secret from both Professor Snape and McGonagall. The fewer people who know about your true nature, the better. I already have a hard time understanding the current situation myself, cannot imagine having to explain it to others…” Dumbledore sighed.
“Welcome to my word. “ Said Harry.
