"Ready?" Lucius asked.

"Ready..." Ebony said quietly. The pair were standing in front of Ollivanders Wand Shop, finally ready to complete the task they had been given. Ebony and Lucius tentatively stepped inside, a bell jingled behind them, signalling their arrival. 

Dusty boxes lay everywhere, the walls were lined with wands, in fact, every nook and cranny of the shop seemed to be filled with wands. As Ebony and Lucius were looking around, a shock of white hair popped out from behind a wand shelf. 

"I'll be right with you!" Garrick Ollivanders called. 

"Hurry up we haven't got all day!" Lucius snapped. 

Grumbling and mumbling, Mr.Ollivanders stumbled out of the back room, however his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Ebony.

"Well isn't this interesting..." The old man said with his eyes a gleam.

"Wha..what is?" Ebony asked unsurely. 

"Having a Riddle in my shop again." Mr.Ollivanders said, looking at her intently. 

Lucius held up his wand menacingly, " Look old man, we don't want any funny business. You are to provide the Dark Lords child with a wand and then be obliviated. Any issues and I will not hesitate to Avada you." 

Ebony gasped, she had never seen this side of her uncle before. 

"I assure you there will be no 'funny business' ." Mr.Ollivanders said dryly, "What brings Ebony to my shop then?" 

" My wand won't preform magic for me anymore..." Ebony said quietly. 

"How...peculiar....." Mr.Olivanders said, taking Ebony's wand from her. He examined it, flicking it, bending it, waving it, tapping it. 

" It seems to be in perfect condition..." Mr.Olivanders said, "I wonder...." He hustled to the back room, coming back with a pure white box.

"Try this out Ebony....." He said, handing the box to her. Ebony opened the box to find a sparkling pure white wand inside, with a tip made of pure crystal. 

"This doesn't seem at all fitting for Ebony's future...studies" Lucius started to object. 

"Who's the expert here? Me or you hmm?" Mr.Ollivanders challenged. Lucius sat back down, grumbling to himself. 

"Ebony have you ever summoned a patronus before?" Mr.Ollivanders asked gently. 

Ebony shook her head no. 

"Okay, I want you to think of your happiest memory, and then once you do, cast the spell like this, EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Mr.Olivanders casted, a silvery figure of a blue jay flew from his wand. 

Ebony was amazed. Concentrating intently, Ebony thought of the first time she and Draco had ever met, she had only been one, he was turning four. It was her earliest memory and still brought a smile to her face every time she thought of his little toddler hand clutching her small baby fingers. Grasping onto the memory Ebony cast the spell. 


"EXPECTO PATRONUM" Ebony cried. There was a blinding light, and a silver unicorn came prancing out of the tip of her wand. Lucius and Mr.Ollivanders watched with their mouths agape. 

Turning suddenly, Lucius pointed his wand at Mr.Ollivanders throat, "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DOES THIS MEAN YOU OLD COOT?" 

"It means the wand works." Mr.Ollivanders said simply, "I just need to check with Ebony about a few things...have her preform a few more spells." Without giving Lucius time to object, he pulled her into the back room.
