(Y/n)'s P.O.V

We continued walking and talking down the streets, popping into a few shops every now and again. By this time all me and Harry need was a wand. Hagrid had made us up to date with Hogwarts houses and quiditch so all in all we were set to go. Honestly I started feeling exited for this new life but Harry seemed a little unsure still. Hagrid pushed us inside a tiny little shop named "Olivanders". I took one look around and instantly new this was for our last time on the list. Our wands. Turning back I noticed Hagrid hadn't entered with us and was no where to be seen. Chewing my lip I shrug and walk up to the old looking counter in front of us. "Hello!?"

Rustling came from the back of the shop and before long an old timid man with long wiry hair appeared. He gave us each a crooked smile before introducing himself "Ah the Potter's. I knew this day would come. I can remember when your parents came in for the first time as if it was only yesterday. I'm olivander, the owner of course" He gave another crooked smile before coming out from behind the counter with a measure tape. Walking over to Harry, he muttered a quick "Which hand dor you prefer to use" to which Harry gave him his right. Ollivander measured the length of his arm and did the same with my left arm before going back behind the counter to shuffle around the long thing boxes that cluttered the shelves. He came back with three boxes each and had us try each of them.

My three instantly made something terrible happen even if it was a couple boxes off the shelf or the light bulb smashing. Harry's however shook the room slightly and blew papers across the room. Ollivander shook his head an went searching for more. This time he picked out two boxes and chewed his lip "Ah yes, I think these will work". He handed us each a box and I knew the instant my hand curled around it that it was perfect. My (h/l) shuffled and a golden light cast around me as I held it. Although it was perfect, Ollivander started shaking his head and muttering. "Curious. Very curious"

I frowned before piping up, "I'm sorry but what do you find so curious?". He looked dead in my eye before talking in a soft but serious tone "Those wands your holding now, the feathers inside were produced by the same Phoenix however there was a third as well. The third went to the person that created those scars" He pointed to Harry's lightening bolt and my "x". I scratched it softly wondering how his eyes were that good enough to see it in such dim lighting.

Just as I was about to question him further, we were interrupted by Hagrid knocking on the window. In each hand he held an owl, both completely different from the other. In his right was a snow owl that stood up proud with little dark freckles along his back. In his left was an owl that looked almost the same, however its feathers were completely black with grey freckles running down its back. Harry immediately paid for the wands before turning and grabbing the snow owl off Hagrid "Thanks! I think I'll name it..." He trailed off, deep in thought about a name for his new owl. His face brightened and he blurted out a simple "Hedwig" to which the owl chirped in delight.

I take the black owl from Hagrid before saying "I think I'll call you cloak" The owl seemed happy enough by its name so I stuck with it as we walked down Diagon Alley, back towards The Leaky Cauldron.

We grabbed a quick bite to eat before heading to the Train station that would take us back to the Dursleys. As we boarded Hagrid handed us another envelope each. "That's yer ticket to Hogwarts. Don't lose it or forget about it either mind. Yer start on the first o' September and yer need to go to The King's Cross Station." I nodded and made a mental reminder as I knew Harry would forget in no time.

The train pulled out of the station and we pressed our faces to the glass of the train while watching Hagrid wave. I blinked and Hagrid was gone. Trying to scan the crowds I found no one tall enough to even compare to Hagrid so I sunk into my seat completely confused.
