Veins Of Silver (HP)

Chapter 2

——— Caius POV ———

'Ollivanders sure does look old' Was all I could think when I saw it for the first time

The building itself wasn't anything special. Just like the others around it. It was made of wood and stone with little to no decorations. The only special thing about it was a small sign hanging over the door which read

-Ollivanders-
-Makers of fine wands since 382bc-

As I walked in my sight was filled with boxes of all kinds seemingly lining every part of the shop with only some narrow gaps to walk between. The boxes also blocked part of the windows making the shop dim.

I decide to approach the counter and see a small bell on it.

*Dinggg* The bell rings

A short man suddenly bursts from under the desk with a energetic grin on his face.

"Oh hiya. Didn't see you come in. Name's Ollivander" The short man quickly reaches out a hand

I shake his hand and can't help but wonder where he get's all that energy. Especially after spending every day in this dusty place.

"Caius" I respond

"What can I get ya?" Ollivander says with a slight smile

"I'm here to get a wand. I've been using a legacy one and thought it would be wise to finally get my own"

"Ahhh I see. Well it's a good thing you came. Legacy wands can work but nothing beats having your own" Ollivander responds

"Now let's see here" Ollivander says. Quickly coming to the other side of the desk and looking me up and down like he was searching for something.

"Arms out lad" Ollivander says

I start to straighten my arms out and soon as I'm done a piece of measuring tape leaps from his hand and starts measuring me.

"Oh yes I see... hmmmm" Ollivander starts muttering to himself while taking note of the measurements

'Why does he need to know how long my nose is?'

Ollivander begins to whistle a tune and suddenly wanders off behind some boxes.
Although I can still hear him whistling and shuffling things around .

After a few minutes Ollivander pops back with a handful of boxes and puts them all down on the desk.

"There we go, now let's see if these beauties work for you" Ollivander says

He opens the first of the boxes and picks up the wand. The wood appears quite light and the wand doesn't appear to have any designs. Being completely smooth with only a slight taper near the end.

"Maple with a unicorn hair core" Ollivander says happily

"Good for healing and transfiguration. Give it wave will ya!"

I take the wand and give a slight wave. Instantly a slight sense of nausea fills me and the wand flies from my hand to the floor.

"Oh dear. We'll they can't all be winners" Ollivander says with a smile and goes to pick the wand back up, setting it back in it's box.

After setting the wand back he also takes some of the other wand boxes and places them in a pile on the floor.

"I have a feeling were gonna be here for a while" Ollivander says with a playful look.

-30 minutes later-

"I think I have it" Ollivander says. Seemingly not at all disturbed by the fact his store is a mess due to different wand reactions.
