Chp. 6 My wand!

The store is small, ancient and very dusty. The glass wall to see into the store has went from transparent to translucent, you cannot quite see inside the store or out of it clearly. The inside of the store is filled with boxes from floor to ceiling, those boxes I suppose is filled with wands. Leaving the boxes there is only a chair near the entrance and nothing more is there in the store. Mr. Olivender have reputation of startling those who came to buy their wands here but I am ready for it or at least I thought so until he did ended up startling me.

I am looking at the shop and the atmosphere in here and out of here is in total contrast. Out there it's bustling street full of life and in here it serene and the air is thick with mystical energy flowing in every corner of this room though I see no sign of life in here. Suddenly from behind me,

"Hello." I heard a voice, startling me as I jumped at the voice. I turn to find myself staring at the most clear silvery eyes I have seen, they speak of wisdom. He has very old eyes well he himself is very old,his eyes seems to see through you and it's very creepy and he has an appreance of an eccentric with his white silvery long hair going in every direction.

Aah he said hello I need to replie to him I reminded myself. He has creeped me out. But I am not the one to back down.

"Good Afternoon. " I said.

"I am here to buy my wand." I continued.

"Of course, Of course you are here for your wand Miss.. ? " He left the question open.

" Eva Adams." I fill in him.

"Yes Miss Adams you are here to choose your wand."

" Though it is the wand that chooses the wizard, of course." He says.

" Of course." I repeated him.

But then he seems to see someone else.

" Aah yes Minerva McGonagall, it's fir wood, dragon heartstrings and 9 1/2 inches. Is it well? " He asked the Professor.

"Yes, yes Garrick, I still have it and it's very nice. Now if you don't mind can we find Miss Adams wand? " She said with impatience.

He turn his attention back to me.

"Of course, let's see.... yes why not, here you go ebony, dragon heartstrings and 9 inch." He give me a wand which he has taken out of one of the boxes. As he was choosing the wand to take out the measuring tape was taking ridiculous measures, I mean why do it will need to measure between by nostrils and I really want to ask about it, why does he needs such measurement after all he did not even look at the measurement before he took out the first wand for me but I know my priorities.

I took the wand and I give it a wave. Nothing happened. So he give me another wand and still nothing and this continued for some time. Some wand did give a little reactions but it was weak, the more time passes the more he gets excited. About 1/2 hr has passed away. Don't tell me they don't have a wand for me.

" Aah a difficult customer.. " He muttered something which I couldn't catch. He looks like he is enjoying it, the more time I take to find my wand the more he gets exited.

Then from inside of his shop he took out an old box, the box was full of dust but when he opened the box I find myself staring at the wand in there. I have a feeling this is the one. That's a first for me I guess magical world work mysteriously for I do not get feelings like this one.

" Here you go.. It's a combination of Larch wood and Beech wood with Pehonix feather in it. 11 3/9 inches, nice and supple." He gives me the wand.

As soon as I take the beautiful wand in my hand I knew we are meant to be one, I feel warmth in my hand and colourful small firework busted out and a heavenly voice, oh it's the Pehonix singing come out of it, as a Pehonix come out of it circles me and goes back in my wand. I am mesmerised.

" Very unique wand have choosen you Miss Adams as Larch wood is said to instill confidence and courage in the user but I have find their user to be of hidden talent and unexpected effects which they do not realize until they are matched together and Beech wood can only be mastered by if young wise beyond year and if full-grown, rich in experience and understanding. Beech performs very weakly for narrow-minded and intolerant. They are capable of subtiety and artistry not seen in other wood. But the wood for your wand is special for it was stricked by lightning and servived thought it changed it colour to black but it's magically very powerful what is unusual is you have the combination of two wand which does not which does not happens usually and it's my first time matching a wand like this and it happened only once before in Olivender's history and it was thousand of years before,Larch wood and Beech wood does not have anything in common, it's unique of its type not to mention the Pehonix who has given his feather for your wand was very ancient and powerful." Said Olivender.

"Surffice to say you will definitely pave your way and we can expect great things from you Miss Adams. That will be 12 galleons please. " He said.

I paid him. Then asked for wand maintenance kid and paid for it too and we are out of there. I still have my wand in my hand, it still fills warm in my hand and I do not want to keep it down but my mind is somewhere else. I am thinking about what Olivender said Beech wood I can understand, I mean with the secrets I have what is there that I cannot believe and be open about and being a person of future of course I am more open minded than probably any person of this era thought of course can never say never but I really am open minded even before I was same. Larch wood must be because I will really need courage to face the future and obviously I have would have to make some difficult decisions. And Pehonix feather well, they are the creatures that are reborn and I am too so maybe that's why. After that I do not pay much mind to it. After all expecting great things from me, well isn't that his dialogue for every customer so I am not going to take that seriously.

We have finished our shopping, we are currently in Leaky Cauldron.

" Professor would you like to have lunch with us." I invited.

" Yes, please my treat, for your help." My dad said backing me up.

" Well thank you for the invitation Mr. Adams and Miss Adams.. " She was saying when I interrupted her.

" Please call me Eva Professor. "

" Alright Miss Eva, as I was saying I have to declined as I still have work to do. " She said.

"Oh does that means it's goodbye, can I write to you? " I asked.

" Well it's goodbye for now, I will see you in about a month and half at Hogwarts and yes you can write to me, if you want to ask anything just owl me and before I forgot here is your ticket for train which you have to take from platform 9 and 3/4 and written instruction on how to get there. Well than see you. " And she was gone. We too make our way home after the adventurous day.
