The Forgotten Potter; DM

V. What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into?

Harry and Ivy walked with hands half-full from all the stuff they brought and now packed. Hagrid also held on to a lot of things for them. Ivy read the letter again.

"We still need... wands!"

"Wands? Well, you want Ollivanders. There's no place better."

Ollivanders seemed like it had existed there for decades, Ivy noticed as she walked in. Besides the name it said,
MAKERS of FINE WANDS
SINCE 382 B.C

Ivy's eyes widened. BC? Well, that explains it.

"Why don't you both run along there and wait. I just got one more thing I gotta do, I won't be long."

Sharing a look, Harry and Ivy walked into Ollivanders together.

They set aside there things and noticed the place was filled with little boxes for wands from floor to ceiling. The place was empty, no one at the counter.

"Hello?" Ivy called out.

"Hello?" Harry repeated, walking to the counter.

A sound was heard from above them and they both looked up to see a man who seemed as old as the shop holding on to a rolling ladder, facing them.

He saw Harry and a smile graced his features, "I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Mister Potter."

He stepped down the ladder and Ivy huffed. She existed too. Did they not care about her?

"And you of course, Miss Potter."

She gave him a half-smile which didn't really meet her eyes.

The man began going through boxes, "It seems only yesterday that your mother and father were in here buying their first wands. Ah."

He pulled out a box from one place and another box from a different pile.

"Here we are."

He took out a brown wand and gave it to Harry who didn't know what to do next.

"Give it a wave," Ollivander shrugged like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Taken aback, Harry randomly waved the wand about and things went flying about, scaring the twins. He quickly put the wand back. Apparently, that didn't work.

"Apparently not," Ollivander said.

He looked like he had an idea and went to grab a specific box. He handed it to Harry who waved it and broke a vase.

"No, no. Definitely not. No matter."

As Harry cautiously put down the wand, Ivy walked towards the opposite direction, nearing some other boxes. Ollivander came back towards them after getting another wand for Harry and paused when a rattling sound was heard. The three looked over at a box on the shelf Ivy was walking towards which was rattling like mad. The old man furrowed his brows and picked up the box.

He stood in-front of them taking out a wand and handing it to Ivy. The twins shared a look before she took it from him, gently and was instantly met with a breeze filling the shop and lights glowing above her. She felt a tingling sensation in her and somehow she knew this was the wand for her. Harry's eyes were wide after seeing what happened.
