The Lights Mistake

II

After Erebus left Gringotts, and receiving a card for him to make paying more easy, he decided to go on a shopping spree before going to one of his new manors.

No body recognized him as he no longer looked like the scrawny boy who lived.

All in all, he was happy that his appearance had changed so greatly.

The first stop that he would like to go to was a wand maker shop in Knockturn Alley.

He didn't trust Ollivander to not go running to Dumbledore about him coming into his inheritance and removing all the compulsions and blocks.

He walked down the surprisingly full alley to stop in front of a small building that had a sign that said "Peterson's Custom Wands" and walked through the door.

The store was spotless, rows and rows of wand ingredients were stored along the walls and many premade wands were being magically packaged and mailed.

A young man was sitting at a desk filling out order forms when Erebus walked in.

"How may I help you today sir? New wand I betcha." The unknown person said.

"My name is Derek Peterson, the owner of this shop. Would you like a custom wand or a premade wand?" Peterson asked.

" I would like a custom one please." Erebus responded.

The man nodded and summoned some of the boxes off of the walls and lined them all up for Erebus to choose from.

"Place your hand over the top and pick how ever many you feel a pull too." Peterson said.

The younger nodded and closed his eyes and allowed his magic to pull out all the ones that it felt the pulls too.

When he opened his eyes he was surprised to see he had four.

"You have pulled elder wood, Yew, Cedar, and Rowan woods for you wand. The elder wood is a rare ingredient in wands as it is hard to master and is even trickier to find. Yew wood is also rare, not as rare as elder but still rare, it is an extremely powerful place wood to have in a wand. Cedar wood signifies that the owner of the wand is hard to manipulate and has a almond for themselves. And finally, Rowan wood or mountain ash wood, is a very protective type of wood and will not let anyone harm its owner. So far Sir, your wand is very powerful." Peterson said and described.

Peterson then summoned more boxes and lined them up after vanishing the first set, leaving Erebus' four on the counter.

"Same process. Pill as many as you need." Peterson said.

Erebus once again closed his eyes and allows his magic to pull the boxes forward.

When he was done he opened his eyes to four cores for his wand.

"You have acromentula silk, dementor cloak, Dark Phoenix feather, and dark unicorn blood willingly giving. The acromentula silk represents that the owner is not afraid of dying and is a proud owner. This core will enhance the dark magic in the wand and is specifically keyed to the dark arts. Dementor cloak represents that the owner is able to accomplish great feats and is a determined person. This core is particularly fond of dark charms and favors dark magic. The dark Phoenix feather works the same as a normal one but favors the dark spells more. It's best area in magic casting is in charms. And finally dark unicorn blood. It is willingly given and enhances the owners healing abilities and also in transfiguration and curse casting." Peterson explained to Erebus as he listened to each detail carefully.

"How long until the wand is finished?" Erebus asked.

"At the most two hours. If you do not wish for it today I can have my owl bring it to you tomorrow." Peterson said already getting ready to make the wand.
