1938. August 25. - Diagon Alley
Victoria was excited about the things in the alley, but you couldn't see it in her stone hard face. She rather looked like her usual self, with her platinum blond hair and brown eyes, filled with pride. Firstly she went to Ollivanders to get her very own wand like her mother and father.
"Look Honey!" said her mother pointing at the shop, while still holding her daughter's hand. "We're here."
"I remember like it was yesterday, when we came to get you a wand, love."
"Yes, I almost set the whole store on fire, because of my clumsiness! I was so afraid, yet you just kept laughing!"
"You should have looked at your face, it was hilarious! And for the record I'm Grindelwald, the darkest wizard in the world."
"Yeah, me too" rolled Ariana her eyes in annoyance. "I mean the Grindelwald part."
"I never catch why are you two in love. Like at all" said Victoria with a hint of curiosity in her voice.
"It was Albus" stated Ariana in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Yes, it was definitely him. He was the one who called me, then not even being at home, giving me the opportunity to meet his gorgeous sister and realize she is a way more better than him" stated his father, smiling at his wife.
"We all know this story dad! I could tell you right here, right now, by heart."
"Then why are you so confused that me and your mother are in love?" asked Gellert.
"I can't really tell you. It's just... kind of strange. Your love is based on a little turn of events. I think it's quite odd."
"Remember Victoria that life does strange things. It can happen even with you. It could be possible that as stepping in the shop you will find your true love. Which is just a little turn of events, because maybe if we just went to Madam Malkin's like we first wanted to, you would have never met him."
"I guess, you're right" admitted Victoria not wanting to fight with her mother in front of the shop.
"Speak of the Devil" said Gellert as the whole family came into the place, seeing a man with beard and a kid in Victoria's age, with chocolate brown hair, waiting quietly for his wand.
"I never imagined meeting you like this."
"I never imagined to meeting you at all brother" Ariana spat the last word like it was poison in her mouth.
"Oh... So after all those years you're still angry?" It was sad for Albus Dumbledore that her sister still loathed him for what he did, or the opposite, for what he didn't do. But unfortunately Ollivander stepped into view, breaking the conversation.
"I hope this one will be good for you, young Riddle. Yew wood, 13½ inch and the core is phonenix feather" with that the boy, named Riddle took the wand and swished it. It sparkled and blew some pages of the customer book. "Wonderful! It seems this wand have chosen you" and he looked at the married couple. "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Grindelwald! It's honor to meet you two again. And who would you be, young Lady?" asked Ollivander looking at Victoria.
"Victoria Grindelwald, at your service Sir, for the time being. Right now, I'm in need of a wand and my parents told me that you're the best wandmaker in England. I hope a powerful wand of yours will choose me as it's master."
"You're charismatic like your father, I see... I'll be back in a minute hopefully with your wand" and he spun around and went to find a wand. After a while, the boy and Albus just left with the tense air.
"Do you think he will alarm the Aurors?" asked Ariana with concern in her eyes.
"I think he wouldn't, but there is always a chance to unlikely events take place. We have to be careful. I don't have my troops around."
"Pine wood, 10 inch and Basilisk horn. I made this not a long time ago, when I got the horn from a friend of mine as a present. Go on, try it" encouraged the wizard Victoria, who upon trying succeeded using the wand. "I have never seen somebody getting a wand at first. I'm happy that I lived this moment. You may be happy with your wand."
"Thank you, Sir" said Victoria standing up and taking her parents hands.
"Just one last thing... If you ever encounter a Basilisk, which is almost impossible, you'll have nothing to fear. Your wand will protect you from it's eyes."
"I will keep that in mind, Sir. I have a feeling as a seer, that this is an information I mustn't forget."
