Before Dumbledore and I head off into the first light of early dawn, my grandfather stops me.

"Brielle, wait."

"Grandpa, what is it?" I said.

"Well, I've been wanting to give you something for a while now. But I've never thought it was quite the right time to do it, until now."

My grandfather handed me something, but it looked like there was nothing in his hands. As if, it was... invisible. It was the weirdest thing.

"What is this?" I could feel just feel the wonder in my eyes.

"This is an Invisiblity cloak. It was given to me when I first got appointed in the wizard council. Now, I'm giving it to you. Use in the most dire times to escape if you, should ever need to."

"Thank you; But I think we must leave now."

We then said our goodbyes and left. When Dumbledore and I reached Diagon alley, the first place we went was to Ollivander's for my new wand because my old one is a little worn out. Before we walked in the shop, Dumbledore stopped me. He told me that Ollivander  might recognize me. He also told me that Ollivander was a friend of my parents, and supported what they were doing; so he might say some things I don't understand or remember. then, we finally went into the shop.

"Dumbledore! You must tell me how you've been. What? Could it be? Is this Brielle?"

I suddenly began to feel very shy. And I am not usually a shy person.

So, we go up to the counter and

I try a few wands that I can tell obviously aren't mine at first. One of them shot sparks, which almost resulted in a fire.

Then, we tried another one. Before we try it, Ollivander tells me that it is a 13 and 1/2 inch wand with unicorn hair and a feather of a phoenix. I try it out and I can tell that this is the right wand.

But, right after I try it,  Ollivander and Dumbledore say in unison ,"Just like her parents."
