(disclaimer just so yk english isn't my first language so with any grammatical mistakes plz bare with me and I use alotta GenZ slang so if you see me slipping plz ignore it T^T)


Y/n POV:

we needed to buy some school essentials, so far we had bought a cauldron ,a set of both glass and crystal phials, a telescope, a brass scale, three set of robes and now the only things left were a pet and a wand.

Dad decided it was better to get the wand first.
soon enough we are standing outside a shop named 'OLLIVANDERS', the shop looked old just like this whole alley, me and dad entered the shop ringing the bell above the door, an old man came sliding through the shelves on a ladder first looked at me and then his eyes fell on dad, "oh well hello there little one, I was guessing it was about your time." he said to me and I gave him a nervous smile.
"Garrick my buddy how have you been?" dad asked him, "oh just the old! just the old! , I see your little one has all grown up..." he said and my dad smiled
"yes, well meet Y/n, my baby witch." "well hello Y/n I see you look a bit nervous dear...?" he said waiting for my answer.
"Umm no- yes? i don't know sir it's just it's my first time with all this so I'm a bit overwhelmed and I really do not know how to choose my wand...what if I mess up..." I said
"Oh deary don't wear yourself out little one, 'you' do not choose the wand, the 'wand' chooses 'you'." he says emphasizing, "hmm now lets see I've known your father for long I'm sure we'll be able to match you with your wand in about no time" he looked around the shelves stopping to grab one box and opened it taking out a wand and came down the ladder towards me and handed me the wand. I looked at my dad and he smiled at me then I look at the man and he says "come on now give it a swish"
 dad stepped a little back for precaution and the man pointed towards a shelf to try it on and as I  swished the wand a sudden harsh wind blew towards the shelf making the  wands on that shelf fall to the ground, I cringed feeling a bit sorry for all the mess it made,
"I guess not that one" the man said and with that we tried a few more wands and finally we had found the one,
"Aaah so the one that chose you is a  Beech wood with a phoenix core 11¾ and pliant flexibility " the man said and looked at me with a satisfied look on his face and then I looked to my dad who gave me a pat on my head.
 "Uh but sir could you explain it too?" I asked unsure if I was putting burden on him or wasting his time but the man looked like he was waiting eternity to be asked that question and with a smile on his face he started rambling on, "So your wand doesn't only choose you randomly it chooses you for who you are, the wood type ,the flexibility, the core , all speaks about the abilities you possess within yourself" my dad excused himself to get us something to eat while I sit with Garrick as he explains my wand.
"Your wood Type is Beech wood which is known for its intelligence and wisdom. It is often favored by those who have a strong sense of justice and a desire to learn. This suggests you are likely an intellectual, valuing knowledge and understanding in your magical pursuits." I looked at him amused and nodded for him to continue because I was interested 
"while the length does not really matter because many wand makers around the world simply do not take much stock in wand lengths. Rather they simply take the measurements of the witch or wizard who intends to use it. By his own personal account"

"while the core of your wand is a phoenix feather. Wands with phoenix feather cores are known for their versatility and ability to produce powerful magic. They are associated with those who are resilient, capable of rebirth and transformation. This suggests you may have a strong connection to your emotions and a deep capacity for growth and change."

by this time my dad had returned with some muffins and coffee now sitting with us listening to Garrick.
"now last but not least is the pliant flexibility of your wand meaning that these wands adapt to new situations quicker than others, favored by owners who seek new methods of using magic"
(oh you'll definitely use a new method in potions soon
Garrick finished now looking at the time, "oh deary you must get going now wouldn't wanna miss the magical ride to hogwarts on your first time now would ya?"
