After about 10 more minutes of mindless chatters and alterations on our robes we were finally done at madam malkins our father and step mother were there alone with out the head mistress when we came out of the back fitting room they took quite some time paying for our robes considering this was only the second time they had used wizard money the first being when they bought the 2 cauldrons they were currently holding. They made us take the robes off and put them in the box with our other pair as to not mess them up walking around the alley. Father walked out of the shop saying something about going to a place called Flourish and blotts. We walked to a very old and twisted looking building and as we walked in I was convinced I found the best place on the planet even better than the wizarding bank because this place was a book store. I could not believe I was in my first wizarding bookshop reading was my very favorite pass time when we were quite bored I would read out loud to Terry, not because Terry was bad at reading or didn't enjoy it he just found it more interesting when I read to him. I ran immediately to the fiction section and started pulling out any books that looked interesting like Margaret and her many monsters or griffins can talk it was a moment before my dad came and had to stop Me from grabbing up the entire shelf we went around and grabbed all our school books and 5 fictional books that I had picked out.
I didn't want to leave flourish and blotts but unfortunately we had to we had to go to a place called Ollivanders to get what might be the most important part of today our wands. Me and my family walked in to an empty shop. We were looking around for any sign of life when all of a sudden a very old man popped out from under the counter.
"Ahh new students looking for their first wands I presume" the old man spoke very fast
"Yes sir yes we are." Terry said pulling me forward with him
"Ah twins. You know twins should have twin Wands"
The old man turned around and grabbed out 2 long boxes he handed one to me and one to Terry. Oldest goes first. I open the box and take the long wand out of its case. The man starred at me encouragingly. I eventually took the hint and gave the wand a bit of a flick. In a moment boxes started flying off the walls one almost hitting the old man. I put the wand back in it's box immediately.
"Don't worry honey it happens all the time ok now you" he pointed at Terry.
Terry did the same slow flick that I had and the exact same thing happen to him that happen to me. The old man took our boxes looked at them and then looked back at us. He then handed the wand I had to Terry and the wand Terry had to me. He looked at me encouragingly. I have the wand one more quick flick but this time nothing flew off the walls in fact something amazing happened I felt a wind blow through my hair I saw a gold glow consume me and I felt as if nothing bad could happen ever again. I looked at the old man and he seemed very happy. He then turned to Terry looking hopeful. Terry gave his wand a swift flick and the same gold glow that consumed me then appeared all around him.
"Yes yes I knew you two would need twin wands." The old man saying taking our wants and packaging them up "you see young man your wand is English oak wood with a dragon heart string core it's 12 1/2 inches and very stiff and your sisters is sycamore wood with a dragon heat string taken from the same dragon as yours it's 10 1/2 inches and very very swishy may I say. You see your wands picked you for a reason you two, like these wands are very different but at their very core they are twins." The old man handed me and Terry our wands and we walked out of the shop.
We only have one last place to go and then we will be set for Hogwarts!
