Chapter four {Nature Alley} ^Part one^

Jasmine was, again shocked. When I think about it, I am shocked quite often. She thought.

That was twenty four hours ago. In that time Jasmine send a letter that said: I accept.

But a lot more formal and longer.

Now Annabelle, Jasmine and Stanley made their way through Nature Alley, one of the many side Alleys of Diagon Alley.

Nature Alley is similar to Diagon, but here only creatures can enter and exit and because of that Lucas had to stay at home until he to comes to his inheritance.

You may ask yourself why Annabelle didn't became a letter to Leonard school. Well that is because next year she will start her first year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, that is because so stands it in her mothers last will. She may was a Italian witch but she had learned at Hogwarts.

The first stop was the robe shop, Tiffany's.

„Hello dear, Leonard school I presume?" asked a tall woman, with long brown hair, tabby orange cat ears, matching tail and green cat eyes. A Neko.

„Yes Ms...?" „No need for the Ms. part just call me Tiffany." answered the woman Jasmines questions.

Tiffany lead her on a small podium in front of a life length mirror, then she began to measure Jasmines body.

„Ah your robe will need the ability to close and open a small hole for your tail and the ones that will come in time." said Tiffany while she measures Jasmine's back.

„What do you mean with ‚the ones to come'?" asked Jasmine confused. Foxe's have just one tail... right?

„You aren't a normal fox little one, you are a magical breed, Kitsune can have from seven to nine tails that come with time and show how powerful the Kitsune is." she answered as if she could read Jasmines mind.

After Jasmine got her robes, gloves and earmuffs, she and the others made their to the wand store named: ‚Solos wands since 1764'

The inside of the store looked as old as it looked from the outside but instead of shelves filled with wand-boxes, the shelves were filled with different woods, jars with fangs; feathers; hair and scale's, and gemstones.

„Welcome little Kitsune, I have been waiting for you." said an old man with the legs and horns of a goat. His beard was white as was his hair but his fur was a light brown. He was a Faun (in Roman mythology) or satyr (in Greek mythology).

„You have?" asked Jasmine disbelieving raising an eyebrow.

„Yes, yes of course I have! The Kitsune with two eyes, really rare, yes yes rare indeed." he said going quieter and quieter. Then suddenly exclaimed loudly:

„Come here child and let's make you your wand!"

Jasmine and Annabelle jumped at his suddenly loud voice but nevertheless she walked into the middle of the room.

„What do I have to do?" Jasmine asked calmly but still nervous.

„Let your magic free and let it screech for the wood of the mother, the wood of the father and the wood of the daughter." he pointed at the shelve with the woods. „Then let it screech for the core of the heart, the core of the mind and the core of the soul. He pointed to the shelve with the jars. „And lastly let it wander to the gemstones, one for the mother one for the father and one for you" he explained in a hushed but clear voice. (Don't ask how that is possible)

Jasmine closed her eyes and did as she was told.

She let her magic free.

What she didn't saw was that the shopkeeper's eyes widen at the raw power that the girl had. Stanley took a few steps away to not be crushed by the heavy raw magic and Annabelle looked drunk, eyes wide and swinging from side to side then falling to her knees.

Jasmines magic reached out towards the woods. The first wood that came to her was Willow, the second Ebony and the third Yew. The three woods hovered a few inches away from her face. Her eyes still closed she directed her magic to the cores. The first core was Dragon heartstring, the second the feather of a phoenix and the third Unicorn-tail-hair. The selected cores hovered next to the woods. The heartstring next to the Willow, the feather next to the Ebony and the tail-hair next to Yew. Next we're the gemstones. The first stone to arrive was a rose-quartz, the second was a black onyx and the third a black diamond. Once the stones took their places next to the cores and woods the shopkeeper waved his wand and spoke in an ancient language: „Wood of the mother bound to the father accept the daughter! Cores of heart, mind and soul unite with the family! Stones of the family bind together and never let go!" slowly a golden light binds the woods, cores and stones together, the light becomes brighter with every word and wand movement the shopkeeper made and as soon as he spoke the last word the light vanished and in it's place hovered a beautiful 10 1/2 inch wand with a handle made of the three stones and the light brown wood of Willow, the black wood of Ebony and the white wood of Yew merge together in a beautiful play.

Jasmine opened her eyes and was meet with the beautiful wand. She took it in her hand and gave it a little wave. Golden sparks flew out of its tip and power rushed thought her. Jasmine hide her magic again and turned around to be met with a panting Annabelle, a wide eyed shopkeeper and a swaying Stanley.

„Are you guys okay?" Jasmine asked bemused with her left eyebrow raised and her tail flicking amused from left to right.

„Yep, gim'me 'ust a minute." said Annabelle now laying on her back her wings outstretched next to her.

Jasmine giggled and helped her onto her feet.

„Curious, curious indeed..." murmured the shopkeeper.

„Sorry sir, but what is curious?"

„Your wand deer child! The woods are complete opposites as are the cores! Never in my life has someone had such combination of characters!" he explained „The heartstring of an Perunian Vipertooth, the feather of a classic phoenix and the tail-hair of an newborn female Unicorn! Adding the gemstones... I'm expecting great things of you little Kitsune, terrible as they may be, but great nonetheless."

„How much for the wand?" cut Stanley in coldly before the shopkeeper could say anything else.

„Twelve galleons." said the shopkeeper flatly and after Stanley payed they leaved the shop quickly.
