(Picture above is her wand)

I was standing in the middle of a road on diagon alley, it was amazing, every store was different, it had been atleast a week since I fell through the wall and I was slowly getting used to this whole 'magic is real' thing, I mean, if I'm dreaming, I'm gonna enjoy it while I can. it would of been perfect if it hadn't been for the grumpy old bat beside me otherwise known as Severus, or as he liked it 'professor snape' "hurry up will you" he snapped walking ahead

I sighed but scurried behind, we made it in front of a giant building at the end of the street, there was a big sign saying 'gringrots'. "What's this place? And why are we here?" I asked, "gringrots is a bank, we are here to collect some money." he says in his boring monotone voice. I wanted to ask more questions but I could tell I was irritating him.

We walked inside and i could see what seemed to be short people with very bad skin and greying hair, snape seeming to notice my curious yet slightly frightened look
"There're goblins" he informed me
"of course, how stupid of me" i muttered sarcastically. as I walked it felt as though the goblins were watching my every move, we made it to the big desk at the end of the massive room. "I'd like to enter Dumbledores vault," Snape drawled

~~~

We walked out of gringrots with me carrying two little bags full of coins and Snape carrying 3,
"let's go get your wand" Snape said and without my own opinion started walking. we made our way to a shop with a big sign that said 'ollivanders' "I'll wait out here" I faintly heard Severus mumble, I nodded as I opened the glass door of the shop and made my way inside. On the inside it was all dark and seemed to be deserted all except the rows upon rows of rectangular boxes.

I took a couple of steps forward until I was in front of the giant desk "hello?" I called through the shop, not a moment later an old man with whispy white hair and a very large smile came rushing towards the desk, "why hello there dear, I'm ollivander, I suppose you're here for your wand" he said "what is your wand arm?" He asked "umm" I replied not sure what he meant, "your writing arm" he explained "oh" I said before bringing out my right arm. He measured my arm before rushing back into the giant row of boxes. He came back not to long after with a black box "here try this" he said as he pulled out a strait black wand, "aren't I supposed to choose the wand myself?" I ask
"no dear, the wand chooses the witch not the other way around" he smiled.

I grabbed the wand and stood there, "well give it a flick" he said rather loudly, I jumped a bit. I flicked the wand and the lamp on the desk exploded, I looked down at the wand in my hand before practically throwing it at ollivander, "hmm" he said before going back into the rows of boxes.

We went through this process at least 50 times, the desk that was once clear is now covered with boxes upon boxes of wands.
"I wonder" I could faintly here him say, He started walking towards me but before he could make it Severus walk through the door "what is taking so long!" He practically growled "why hello Severus" said ollivander, he then pulled the wand out of the box, it was a dark blue with a light blue vine curling around it, "12' long rigid, made of alder wood with the core of Basilisk skin and hippogriffs feather fused together, only one of its kind." he handed me the wand and once I grasped it in my hand I felt a surge of power go through me as the wand started to glow. Ollivander seemed to have a weird look on his face but didn't say anything

My wand had finally chosen me...
