When I walked into Ollivanders, an old man swung from a latter. I just made it into the door and he began to speak. "You must be Ms. Silverstone. I remember the day your father came in to get his wand. He came back his fourth year because he broke it. Your mother, of course, was very careful with her things.
I smiled politely at the old man and proceeded to walk toward the table.
"Okay well let's get started," he started to pull out long thin boxes and placed them down. He grabbed one box and handed a wand to me. "Try this one out," I waved my wand slightly but all the boxes on the shelves fell out.
"Im sorry," I said.
"It's fine," he said. He waved his wand and all the boxes were placed back onto the shelf.
He grabbed another box and handed me the wand. "Okay, now try this one," he said. I waved the wand shakily. A glass vase broke and I screamed. "I guess not."
He grabbed another box and smiled. He gave me the wand and I instantly felt the connection. I felt light and confident with it. "Ahh perfect. This one is made of ash wood, it's 14 ⅞ in length, and its core is made of unicorn hair. Funnily, its brother was just purchased before you," he said.
"It's brother?" I asked, confused while paying.
"You see, the unicorn, from the core of your wand, gave me two of her hairs for the making of the wands. One of the wands was purchased by Mr. Malfoy this morning. You just purchased that wand's brother," he said smiling.
"Oh, is this 'Mr. Malfoy' going to my school," I asked.
"Yes, but uh he is a bit dramatic at times and isn't always nice to people ," I was confused when he said that but the thought passed when my mother walked in. "Ah, Mrs. Silverstone, how are you and your wand doing," he asked. Even I looked at the ground with my mother.
"Well you see sir, David snapped my wand," she said.
"Ah, well when you feel like getting a new one Ill be here," he said kindly.
Me and my mother walked out of the store. "Close your eyes Teressa," my mother said. Later she said to open my eyes, and when I did a beautiful brown owl in a cage was in her hands. "Happy Belated Birthday," she said to me. "I'm sorry I couldn't get you anything on your actual birthday, you know how it is."
"Mom, David said-"
"It's on the list," she pushed the parchment into my hand and pointed.
Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad
"Thank you mom," I hugged her tight.
...
When we got home my dad was angry about the owl, he couldn't really say anything because it was on the list. My mom and dad did get into a fight because my David didn't bother to tell me happy birthday. No matter how grateful I was that she was arguing for me, I didn't mind that he didn't tell me happy birthday. They have this same argument every year. This year, I was so excited about going to Hogwarts I could barely hear my parents' words.
