Late on the same day:

Draco didn’t care about his uniform and show it with no even bother to wear it, he was angry and all the time looking down ashamed. He could see that the two men who owned the shop were staring at him and with disgust and viciously. His mother was trying to avoid the condition just to protect her own son from a huge scandal or affray or worst from an abuse, a scoff. She tried the quickest to help him short off his new clothes for school and they left when she paid for them. Of course the owners never insult Mrs. Narcissa before and they never planned to do it, she was a real lady who had fall in the wrong short, to the wrong person named Lucius Abraxas Malfoy.

In the other hand Ginny was on Madam’s Malkin cloth shop and walked to Mister’s Olivander wand shop, since her previous wand was damaged and half-broken from Bellatrix Lextrange. Thank to the victorious win of Harry Potter the roads were again and the Diagon Alley was full of magicians, kids were playing with eachother carefree and not careful anymore to what they will say or what they will go or do. “I am so happy everything is back to normal” Ginny smiled as whispered those worlds to herself. Of course some things still remain the same, as she was passing the stores she noticed a small, dark road which bringing every person who would pass it to another world, a world darker and scarier, the Knockturn Alley. She stopped there and stared the dark path for a few seconds; a cold wind blew against her and her hair waved by it hard she sighed a bit and left toward the wand shop. When she got herself there she smiled as remembered the first time she got in and received her wand, now she was going to take the same wand repaired back. She was anxious to take and use her wand again so she knocked, got in and greeted with a politely way the old wand-maker “Hello… Mister Olivander?” He appeared after a few minutes and smiled at her with a welcome yet a bit bitter way “Hello miss Weasley, I wondered when you would come” she smiled more didn’t noticed the old man’s smile very good “Well I am here now, can I have my wand back?” she asked again politely and restively. The man sighed and frowned a lot with her words and now she had noticed it and her face turned from happily impatient to worried and sad, can’t imagine what she will hear “Well?” Olivander sighed sadly again and answered her with a bit shameful voice. “I am sorry miss Weasley but your wand isn’t going to repeat it-self we need to pick a new one I am really sorry I did the best I could” Ginny’s eyes widened and gasped with his words “No… why?” she asked softly and sadly. “The wand’s damage is big, the curse which rebound made it crash in the middle and with the first spell you will cast it will separate to 2 equal pieces.” but he didn’t stop there even when he faced Ginny and stared her into her eyes “but I am sure there is a reason that happened, after all, I am sure the war changed you with a good or a bad way and maybe your previous wand cracked because of that, but I can make you one identical to it or you can choose one from here, whichever you want.” Ginny didn’t talk for a while, she checked her money to see if she can provide one brand new for her-self “In the same price that I would take to repair your wand of course since I didn’t keep my promise and repaired it” he replied when she opened her wallet. “But…” Ginny started and Olivander interrupted her with a warm smile, a smile it was impossible to not return and since her money wasn’t enough for a new one, it was really a rare chance which she would be full to not accept it.

They kept talking for a while as nearby; in the street the Malloy’s walking all around the Diagon Alley and checking what they would need to buy. They stopped in front of the cauldron’s shop and Narcissa was about to make space for her son to get through first. “I will wait her, you go inside alone.” He said with soullessness. “Draco…” Narcissa started and walked toward him, picked his hand “Why do you brought me here?!” Draco asked with the same bloodless face and truculently voice “You knew that would happened!” Narcissa all she did was to stroked his hand and whispered “You need to learn how to live again my child, to find who you are. By staying in the manor all the time, hiding from everyone and playing it proud when you don’t feel it will not help you find your-self, Hogwarts will help you and that is why I insist to send you here” she replied, kissed his hand with a fondly way and walked into the shop alone. Of course she didn’t expect Draco to follow her, not even for his face to mild, but she hoped that was the start.

“This one, suits you really Miss Weasley and I see it and examine it is more…” he looked and re-looked the wand, examined it closely as he was oddly perplexed. He just couldn’t explain it.
