Germany, a country that was unified not long ago, seems to still be a little chaotic.

However, for wizards, there has always been only one German magical world. The wall that isolates Muggles cannot isolate wizards.

Gregorovitch got up very early. August would be his busiest month. One after another, young wizards who received admission letters from Durmstrang Academy would come to his wand shop to buy wands under the guidance of their parents. Most of his business in half a year depended on this month.

But today seems a little different.

When Gregorovitch opened the window, he saw a huge eagle flying across the sky. Its golden feathers shone brightly in the morning light, and it looked very beautiful. But he was not happy at all.

For no reason, he was reminded of a man who had disappeared for a long time - Gellert Grindelwald.

When the thief stole the Elder Wand from him, it sat leisurely on the windowsill, looking like a big golden bird.

"I hope it's not a bad day." He sighed. At this moment, the bird flying high in the sky had disappeared. Gregorovitch retreated back into the house. It was time for him to prepare for the opening of the business.

After taking care of everything, Gregorovitch pushed open the door, wondering when the first guest would arrive. However, to his surprise, his first guest was already waiting at the door.

It was not a little wizard, but a young boy, tall and handsome. Compared with a wizard, the other party's dress was more like a Muggle. Even though Gregorovitch did not understand the Muggle's dressing style, he had to admit that the other party's dress looked very suitable, as if the doll that served as a mold in the closet came alive and appeared at the door of his shop.

Of course, the most peculiar thing is the other person's hair color and eye color. The ends of his thick black hair are dyed gold, and his pupils are also gold, as if two golden ambers are inlaid.

Gregorovitch had never seen this person before, and was sure that he was not his previous client. However, Cyrus's appearance still made him feel good about him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to buy a wand?"

"Yeah, the previous wand was broken."

The wizard who appeared here at this moment was Cyrus.

In fact, his wand was not broken. Malfoy specially made a replica for him of a wand that was very similar to the one Voldemort used before. It was made of the same yew wood and had phoenix tail feathers. Even the appearance of the wand was exactly the same.

But that wand didn't work well for Cyrus.

Wand learning is a very profound subject. Even wands made of the same type of material will not be exactly the same. Even if they are made from the same wood or the same magical animal, two wands like brothers may choose two wizards with completely opposite personalities.

Moreover, the combination of yew wand and phoenix tail feathers may be suitable for Voldemort, but not necessarily for Cyrus.

It would have been fine if the conditions were limited before, but now that he was finally free, Cyrus naturally planned to change to a brand new wand that suited him, preferably one that was strong enough! Although he had temporarily gotten rid of Dumbledore's threat, Cyrus actually thought that his situation was not so optimistic. At that time in Azkaban, Cyrus took a few drops of Felix Felicis to give himself some confidence. As a result, he developed the unprecedented "Imagomagus", and he was very excited at the time.

But when the effect of the Felicity drug completely disappeared, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The voice that appeared in his mind at that time was still a little too weird when he thought about it now. If he had not been under the influence of the Felicityl potion at that time, Cyrus would never have tried it rashly.

An unknown voice, an invisible mind - that was how he had deceived Ginny, and she had lost her guard. Even if the result seemed good now, who knew what effect the spell would have?

However, what frightened him the most was that the spell that had echoed in his mind countless times at that time was immediately forgotten after he mastered the magic.

This is a bit too weird.

You know, he was resurrected from the diary, but his abilities when he was in the Horcrux state did not disappear. It can be said that he himself is a living "Pensieve". All memories, as long as he wants, will be revealed!

But Cyrus' memory of the dawn when the storm came was not so clear.

He only remembered one spell, but when he tried to replay the memory in front of his eyes again and again, the spell in his mind seemed to be cast under a magic that prevented eavesdropping and turned into a harsh noise, like a TV that could not receive any signal.

There are only two possible reasons for this result: the first is that he really did not hear the spell, and has no relevant memory, so the spell naturally does not exist. But obviously this possibility is not true; the other possibility is that someone tampered with his memory, and he was unaware of it.

But how could anyone modify his memory without him noticing? Not even Dumbledore could do that.

Cyrus felt as if he had been caught in a huge web. Fate seemed to be weaving something, and someone was standing behind the loom of fate, manipulating everything.

He felt extremely urgent, and at the same time he was longing for stronger power! No one wanted to be a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time, even if the person standing behind them was fate itself.

For this reason, Cyrus wrote to Harry specifically, hoping that he could help pay attention to whether Professor Sybill Trelawney would leave any new prophecies.

This old charlatan did not leave many serious prophecies in his life, but two of them were related to Harry and Voldemort.

Cyrus was born from Voldemort, just like a snake changing its skin, but he also has to admit that he is now closely related to Voldemort. Perhaps the new prophecy will also mention his fate?

But no matter what, it is impossible to fight against fate without enough strength. The first thing is to make yourself strong.

"Come in and take a look. It's still early. Maybe many young wizards will come here in a while." Gregorovitch slowly stepped aside to let Cyrus walk into the store. This wand shop is almost as old as Ollivander's, and Gregorovitch himself is much older than Ollivander.

In fact, he was more than a decade older than Dumbledore.
