Outside back in Diagon Alley, Athena and Hagrid are walking through the street. Athena has bought most of her equipment, and is reading her list.

Athena: I still need...a wand.
Hagrid: A wand? Well, you'll want Ollivanders. [he points to the store] No place better. Run along there, but wait. I just got one more thing I got to do. Won't be long.

Athena goes into the store, quietly. She looks around. There are shelves of wands in boxes, but no people.

"Athena we get to see your wand choosing!" Squealed Lily bouncing in her seat a bit. James looked at Lily with admiration.

Athena: [Softly] Hello? Hello?

Then, a nose came from the back, and a man appears on a ladder and looks at Athena. The man is Ollivander and he smiles.

Ollivander: I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Ms. Potter. It seems only yesterday that your mother and father were in here buying their first wands. [Picks a wand] Ah. Here we are. [Athena holds it, but does nothing] Well, give it a wave. [Athena is hesitant, but waves. This causes most of the boxes to come flying out and crashing down. Athena jumps and hurriedly puts the wand back on the counter. ] Apparently not. [Gets another wand from a box.] Perhaps this. [Athena waves at a vase, which shatters, startling Athena.] No, no, definitely not! No matter... [gets a wand from a box, but stops and becomes thoughtful] I wonder. [Ollivander hands the wand to Athena. No sooner after she touched it, Athena suddenly glows under it, blowing her hair up and several of the paperwork in the background. Ollivander looked a bit surprised and deep in thought.] Curious, very curious.

"What's curious" asked Barty Crouch jr

Athena: Sorry, but what's curious?
Ollivander: [examining the wand he gave to Athena] I remember every wand I've ever sold, Ms. Potter. It just so happens that the phoenix, whose tail feather resides in your wand gave one other feather, just one. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar. [Points to the lighting bolt scar on Athena's forehead]
Athena: And...who owned that wand?
Ollivander: Oh, we do not speak his name. The wand chooses the wizard, Ms. Potter. It's not always clear why, but I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things...terrible, yes, but great. [he hands Athena back her wand.]

"Did he just praise you-know-who?" Gasped Sirius "No padfoot he didn't he praised the magic" "but Moony" "Shut up Sirius" "okay" Athena turned to her friends and made a whip-like noise making them all laugh.

Athena then hears a knock on the window.

Hagrid: Athena! Athena! Happy birthday! [Has a snowy owl in a cage, which hoots, her name is Hedwig.]
Athena: [amazed] Wow.

"She's beautiful" beamed Pandora, "yeah she was" Athena smiled gently. Only a few caught on to Athena saying 'was'. "Thank you Hagrid" "Thank you Hagrid mate" beamed James and Lily "No need to thank me Mr and Ms Potter" Lily became bright red at Hagrid calling her 'Ms Potter' James who saw gave her a kiss on the cheek, whilst Professor Minnie moo moo smiled at the two youngsters.
