Day 3

Hogwarts 4:16 PM

Embers POV

It's our third day at Hogwarts. Students and teachers are starting to grow suspicious so I decided today it would be best to visit Hogsmeade.

Yesterday while Blake and I were sitting in the common room, Theodore starting asking questions about our family and home.  With so many questions and very little time to answer there were some suspicious slip ups.  After that, a Professor in one of our classes had us complete an assignment with wands, which we don't have.  Blake and I had to sneak out which brought some more whispers and gossip to the table. 

Blake and I usually hate shopping but something had us excited.  Hogsmeade was magical, something about the air could make all your worries drift off in any moment.   We walked down the brick path passing different shops and items, one thing came to my mind first that we desperately needed. 

Wands

Blake and I had skipped all of Snape's classes so far because I knew he could read minds, and Blake's mind was full of stuff I didn't want him to even glance at.

After so many failed attempts in the wand store, Blake had his wand and it was my turn.

"Mmm, try this one" the man spoke "unicorn tail hair"

Nope.

With so many failed attempts of my own, my patience was thinning.

"Try this one" he spoke once more like the other 30 times "cypress wood and golden dust with the design of snake skin"

I looked down at the box on the counter. The wand was black, had small bits of snack skin textured around the wand and golden dust in the small cracks. My finger followed the twirling golden line all the way to the end. I pointed the want at the ink container on his table top. With a small flick I said the word "Geminio". The ink duplicated and a small smile crept onto my face.

"The wand chooses you" he rasped out and waved a goodbye as we exited the shop.  Now that we had our wands a lot of stress and worry drifted away.  Now we can go to classes like everyone else and we don't have to be super careful.  

I looked down at our list after another hour or so of shopping. It looked like we had everything so we went back to the school.

At dinner we listened to Theodore and Lorenzo bicker, Pansy flirting with Draco quite disgustingly and watched Blaise punch Adrian Pucey over and over again when he called Luna "Luny". Even after Blaise slammed him against the wall as a warning he continued to taunt her, which Blaise ended very quickly.

Now I was sitting in the library alone by the window enjoying a book I had found on spells. I had a wand now and It came to mind I needed to know some more spells just in case.

"You can't learn to do them just by reading darling" a voice came from in front of me

I peaked over the top of the book to see Mattheo standing with his hands in his pockets and eyes on me.

"Well that's interesting Riddle" I look down at my book.  I read same line 5 times to try and make sense of it before he continues to speak.

He shook his chuckling "your mind takes in the information like a list. You remember the order but you don't remember the information" he takes the book from my hands "you need the repetition, the feeling" he leans in, his face inches from mine "the power" he whispers

I see his eyes look around my face before he stands up straight again flipping the book back and forth as if interrogating it.  But he's right of course,  while I have been sitting here for the past 2 hours I don't think anything has really stuck.
