"First, to get it out of the way, let's get your wand," Auntie Tao murmured.

"I heard it was a long process," she shrugged.

Y/N nodded, and scanned the place rapidly; joke shops, cafe lounges, and in the corner of her eye, she could see a broom with people huddling around, admiring it.

Her auntie Tao spotted the wand store before her.

"Ollivanders," she said quietly. She placed her hands on both of Y/Ns shoulders, as Y/N opened the door for Tao.

There behind the counter stood an old man with pale silvery eyes and white skin.

"Hello! L/N, wasn't it?" He said in a cheery yet tired voice.

Y/N just nodded. How did he know her?

"Which is your wand hand?"

"Well, I'm L/R handed."

"Yes yes, hold it out." He said. He measured her hand, arm, neck and even the wideness of her head.

"I think I have just the thing for you." He turned and searched his eyes rapidly around the large cases of wands, and he reached for one of them, placing it on the counter.

"Ash wood, unicorn hair core, 8'5 inches." He smiled.

Y/N grasped it in her hand.

"We'll go on, give it a wave!"

Y/N muttered a soft 'oh' before waving the wand. To her astonishment, she sent a fire to the wood of the walls.

Ollivander quickly muttered a spell and set it out.

"Maybe not. Here, try this one," he said. "Aspen wood, Phoenix hair core, 5'4 inches."

Y/N waved it once again, and a bunch of the wand cases flew out of the cases.

"Oh, golly."

Y/N tried more and more wands after that; she wasn't sure what Mr Ollivander was waiting for.

"Tough customer! Second one today."

Y/N laughed nervously.

"Ah, your mother's favourite class was always transfiguration!" He smiled. "Of course you wouldn't know, but it's a branch of magic. This wand would be great for it." He placed the case on the counter.

"Hopefully, this'll be the last one. Ebony wood, unicorn tail core, 7'5 inches."

Y/N inhaled deeply, before twirling her wand. Suddenly, it was like a window had opened during glowing hours. A sunny spot surrounded her as she stared at her wand, with an impressed look on her face.

"Garrick delivers!" He cheers.

"Mr ollivander, if you don't mind me asking, how does this work?"

"The wand chooses the wizard."

"But they aren't living, are they? So how-" she said, sighing confusingly.

"Maybe read up on it. Until next time, L/N." He waved her out of the shop.

Y/N wasn't sure she liked Mr Ollivander that much.

Her auntie was waiting outside.

"Let me take a look - oh, it's beautiful!" She said proudly. "How Ollivander makes his wands so efficiently, we'll never know."

She giggled, waving bye after Mr Ollivander.

"Ew Tao, not Mr Ollivander!" She said loudly.

Her auntie shushed her before whispering in her ear,
