Percy POV
Once we had gotten our clothes and books which were by the way hopelessly useless because i cant read!
We got to the part i was most looking forward to, our wands!

'Ah, Ollivanders, you'll be able to get your wands here' Mrs Weasley says pointing proudly to the shop

I turn around to find Hermione staring at me curiously, before I can ask her what was up, Nico, Ghost King, pulls me and Thalia into there

'we dont have that much time guys!' He says a little hurriedly

I turn around to find an old thin man staring at me from the counter, Ollivander i guess

'So we're here to choose a wand-' Thalia starts

'You dont choose the wand, the wand chooses the wizard' Ollivander says

Why do i get the feeling he says that a lot?

'You boy, why dont you go first?' Ollivander beckons to me

WHY ME?

I swallow 'Uhm ok?'

Ollivander pulls out a wand 'Here give this a wave' he hands me the wand
I wave it around and something falls down with a crash 'Nope nope, not that wand' Ollivander says hurriedly, snatching the wand out of my hands.

He pulls out yet another wand, and another and another and i try 4 more, but none of them work

Olllivander looks stumped, then his face lights up 'i wonder...' He pulls out another wand

I give it a wave and the smell of an ocean on a summers day fills the shop, i guess this is the one?

'Huh, this is one is very powerful, Mangrove wood and dragon heartstring, 11 inches, good for water spells and transfiguration' He hands me the wand and i take it. I feels like my first treasure.

I look back at Ollivander but he's already looking for a wand for Thalia while Nico stands behind her smirking.

'Give this one a wave' Ollivander tell Thalia, and she waves it, somewhere in the distance thunder rumbles. Either that's her wand or daddy Zeus is angry about something stupid.

'Aha, Pinewood and unicorn hair, 10 and 1/2 inches, perfect for charms' He says while Nico and I snigger at 'pinewood', earning glares from Thalia.

Ollivander moves along to Nico *cough* Skeleton Boi*cough* who is last to find a wand

After testing 3 wands, Ollivander pulls out a long sleek dark wand 'Give this one a try'

Nico gives it a wave and shadows seem a bit darker, that's probably it, if its not then Nico is gonna get a scolding from Will about shadow-travelling.

'Well, Oak wood and phoenix feather, 12 inches, very nice for Defence Against the Dark Arts'

Nico takes the wand and inspects it, what's he looking for? Eh, who cares

I hand in our payment of Wizards Money and we head out of the shop looking at our new wands.

I look up to Hermione 'Do you want to come to the twins's joke shop? Harry and Ron are already there' She nods to a crowded shop across the street.

'Definitely, i want to get back at the Stolls for turning my shirt pink the other day' Nico says grumpily

And so we walk over to the shop, I catch Hermione looking at me strangely again, as if im a puzzle or a riddle that needs to be solved. I walk a little faster and head into the shop.

What does Hermione want from me?
