Chapter 507: Are You Really a Hufflepuff?
Ollivander stepped into the clearing at the center of the room, his sharp eyes scanning the three Champions standing before him. His gaze settled on Fleur Delacour.
"Miss Delacour, would you mind going first?" he asked with a polite nod.
As an expert on wands, Ollivander immediately recognized Fleur's as particularly unique, his curiosity piqued.
"Okay," Fleur replied gracefully, stepping forward and handing over her wand.
"Ah, very interesting," Ollivander murmured, holding the wand close to his eye and examining it with practiced precision. "Nine and a half inches... inflexible...rosewood... and the core is... ah, Veela hair."
"It's my grandmother's hair," Fleur explained softly.
"Fascinating," Ollivander remarked. "Although I must say, wands with Veela hair cores can be a touch temperamental. But if it serves you well, that is all that matters."
He gave the wand a delicate wave. "Orchideous!"
From the tip of the wand, a bouquet of flowers blossomed, their vivid colors bright against the muted room.
"Very good, very good," Ollivander said approvingly. "Your wand is in excellent condition." He handed the flowers back to Fleur along with her wand.
"Mr. Krum, your turn," he called.
