Gorgeous

Is this right?

The robe shop took a while but it left us with enough time to get to Ollivanders.

"Alright girls you go first Gin!" Dad says and I pick at my nails again. What if my wand is bad? What if one doesn't work? What i-

"Alrighty dear let's try out this one." Ginny waves the wand around and I laugh as items fly around. Gin flys around and eyes me down.

"That's alright! Let's try this one." As soon as she's handed the wand it's as if the entire rooms energy changed. Everything lifted and wind flowed through Ginny.

"Look at you pumpkin, you found your wand!" Dad says behind me. I turn over at him and he looks overjoyed, like this is the only place he ever wants to be. And that makes me feel horrible. Ginny got what she needed, what if it doesn't work for me. I can't be a disappointment.

"It's your turn hon." I look over at dad and hope to Merlin that he sees me.

"Dad I'm not sure about this, what if I don't have a wand?" Dad simply smiles and gets down to my level.

"Honey I wouldn't love you any less if you had a wand or not, this is about you and if you don't have one that's absolutely fine. Now why don't we try hmm?" I nod my head and ignore the way I know Ginny is looking at me. I'm an impassive person I guess you could say. I don't know I just don't like to share.

"Hmm alright let's see shall we, let's try this one over here!" I'm not sure how Ollivander does it. There's hundreds of wands here and it seems like it's effortless to find a wand for each person. You got to give someone props for that. He hands me the wand and it feels heavy in my hands, what is in wands to make them so heavy? I look up from the wand and make a swishing motion and nope. Didn't work at all, a book goes flying behind me.

"Definitely not the right one!" He takes it out of my hand and looks for another one. I bite at my nail.

"Let's try this one shall we!" He hands me another one and it feels a bit better in my hands. I try once more and the lamp explodes. I duck and hope it didn't hit me.

"Well that definitely did not work!" Why is this taking so long? Why can't I just find one!

I think we're in Ollivanders for thirty minutes and I still haven't found a wand. At this point Ginny is sitting looking bored, and dad gives encouraging looks but looks confused. Why can't I just find my wand? I think my nails are bleeding a little but from me picking at them. Ollivander though looks like he's not giving up.

"Don't worry, this happens more often than one would think! Now it seems like you're a tricky one let's try this one!" He hands me this wand and that same energy that was in the room before is finally here.

"Well look at that darling, it just looks like you were a tricky one!" Dad says behind me. I smile because I finally got it.

"Merlin, it took long enough." And my face falls again, because she's right. I shouldn't have taken that long.

"Now Gin, that's not very kind. She just needed to make sure she found the best wand to duel you! Anyway Ollivander, what wand is this anyway?" His face lights up, I think it's like when dad gets asked about something muggle.

"Well it's actually quite interesting. It's a 10 and half inch wand, with a willow as its wood and this is the intriguing part. The wand core is Ashwinder Egg which is quite the rare core expensive but a very nice core to have indeed." Expensive? I don't want them to spend a lot of money on me!

"Interesting indeed, well Ollivander let's get to the payment now!" Before I can say anything dad payed and we were leaving Ollivander's to meet with mum at Flourish and Blotts.

Once we get there it's chaos once again. Mum and Ginny are so very excited to meet The Gilderoy Lockheart. I don't really get it. He's just blond and has done cool stuff in his life. Mum also hasn't found Harry yet which no one seems to worry about which seems silly to me. A 12 year old is no where to be found and we just don't care. Alright whatever.

"Oh Harry, thank goodness we'd hope you only went a grate too far!" And that was that, Harry was found. He's very awkward if I must say, and he's got ash all over him.

"Ladies and gentlemen Mr Gilderoy Lockheart!" And his blond hair and all shows up. He starts talking about his books and all of that and just when I'm about to zone out he stops.

"Oh my is that who I think it is, Harry Potter?" and the reporter who was taking pictures of him grabs him by the shoulder and pushes him into a picture with him. Again Harry looks like a deer caught in headlights. I don't think he likes all the attention he gets wherever he is. I mean I'm not sure I'd like being famous because my parents died either. Mom ogles at Lockhart some more and then she tells us to run off because I'll get the signatures.' So that's exactly what we were going to do. That was until this awful blond came up to us all.

"Bet you love that, didn't you Potter? Famous Harry Potter, can't even go to a bookshop without making the front page!" I look this boy up and down because clearly he's never learned manors. He stands tall and acts like we're dirt underneath his foot. He looks Harry up and down like he's scum.

"Leave him alone!" Gin says, and I've got to give it to her, I wouldn't want to stand up to this git. He seems like the type of guy who would take a lolly from a kid.

"Oh look Potter, you got yourself a girlfriend!" I can take annoying but not rude to my sister.

"I'm sure you've never had one of those before." I say it so matter a factly that it startles the boy and he looks around. I assume he doesn't see me so I walk around Gin and raise my brow. Before he can say I'm sure a crude insult there's a cane on his shoulder.

"Now, now Draco, play nicely." Well now I know this is the annoying blond git Ron was blabbing
about. And then I look over at I'm assuming his father. He's taller than Draco and clearly demands respect. He towers over him and speaks to Draco only with his eyes. Then the man turns around and sees Harry.

"Mr. Potter, Lucius Malfoy, we meet at last." He forces his hand in Harry's and greats him like he's been close to him for years. He pulls him closer.

"Forgive me but your scar is legend, as of course the wizard that gave it to you." Harry doesn't resist at all. I find that weird because if it was me I would be squirming like crazy.

"Voldemort killed my parents." I flinch a little at the name. Harry says his words calmly but insultingly. It makes Lucius pull away.

"He was nothing more than a murderer." He looks at him like he's disappointed which I find odd.

"Hm, you must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish." I don't really notice much but I look over to my right and magically Hermione is right next to Gin.

"Fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself." Once Hermione talks it's as if He just remembers that others are here to not just his son and Harry.

"And you must be miss. Granger? Yes Draco's told me all about you, and your parents." Lucius perks up his head to look down on her. Hermione looks over at her mum and dad talking to mine. I'm sure all about muggle items.

"Muggles aren't they?" Lucius clearly brings others down to feel tall.

"Let me see, red hair, vacant expressions, tatty second hand book." He grabs the books out of Gin's cauldron and it makes my blood boil.

"You must be the Weasleys." Dad comes behind us and tells us maybe going outside is a good idea. Lucius and dad have a little back and forth and then Lucius puts the books back in her cauldron. I look down into it and I could swear there was one extra book in there.

"I'll see you at school." Malfoy seems to need the last word because he's out of there before any of us can say a word. And once they're out the door it's as if all of us were holding our breath.
