A young boy stepped into Ollivanders with a paper in his hand. He looked around nervously at the shelves of wands, not knowing what to do. He had a good deal of money, and getting a wand for his first year at Hogwarts was at the top of the checklist. He hoped that he could make his grandmother proud by going out on his own, but this idea he was thinking of regretting.

"What can I do you for, my boy?" A man asked from the left of him.

Teddy looked over and saw Mr. Ollivander. "Oh, hi. I need help, um, getting my first wand."

"Alright! Follow me." Mr. Ollivander said to him. He walked over to one of the shelves as Teddy peered at the many wands. Mr. Ollivander glanced at Teddy, then at the shelves. "Well, what's your name by the way?"

Teddy looked at him and said, "Teddy...Teddy Lupin."

Mr. Ollivander saw Teddy look at a single wand on that shelf. He reached up, grabbed it, and handed it to Teddy. "'Ere, try this. It's a redwood with dragon heartstring, 10 and 3/4". It has a sense of braveness."

Teddy gulped and looked at the wand in his hands. He closed his eyes and began to focus. The boy swiftly moved the wand and a bright, brilliant streak of red came from it. Teddy smiled. "I think this is the one, Mr. Ollivander."

"Okay, come over 'ere and pay for it." Mr. Ollivander replied as he smiled back.

A few minutes later, Teddy walked out of Ollivanders, and looked down at his list. 'Flourish and Blotts' it said, with numerous books written under it. Teddy walked around Diagon Alley and found the shop, going in it, then out it in a matter of minutes, with school books.

He looks down at the checklist and sees he has to go buy his robes at Madam Malkin's next. He enters the shop which was right next to where he was. In the front of the shop he sees a blonde-haired boy around his age. Teddy walks up to him. "Hi, my name's Teddy."

The blonde-haired boy looks at him and smiles. "My name's Keith. I'm shopping since I gotta go to Hogwarts."

"Me too!" Teddy said.

Keith looked at the light brown-haired boy, "Where's your mum and dad?"

Teddy stopped smiling. His heart dropped and he looked down at his feet. "They're dead. I was raised by my grandmother."

Keith embarrassingly looked at Teddy and said, "Oh I'm sorry...I should've-"

"No. It's ok," Teddy said. "...Can you keep a secret?"

"Yea, sure," Keith replied.

Teddy closed his eyes and focused on the color blue. Then, his hair changed blue. Keith gasped as Teddy changed back to his original color. "I can change my hair color to anything. Gram told me not to do it much though."

"Wow." Keith replied, shocked. Teddy smiled back. Then the two boys proceeded and bought their standard school robes. On the way out Keith went over to Teddy. "Hey Teddy, you know what House you want to be in?"

Teddy stood there for a moment. He hadn't thought about this much yet, but he really wanted to be like his father, or at least what he heard he was like. "Gryffindor."

"Cool, me too! Hope to meet you again." Keith replied as both boys seperated. Teddy visited a few more places and eventually came to Eeylops Owl Emporium. He ventured inside to find an owl. The shopkeeper looked up as a visitor entered the door and smiled at him, not shortly before going back to reading a book. Teddy walked and looked at all the owls as he came upon an unsually smaller owl. The shopkeeper once again looked up to him and said, "Don't know what wrong with that one. He's just so small...different from the others, ya know?"

The boy looked at the Tawny Owl and saw how sad it looked, thinking of how many people looked right past it, just because he was different. It reminded him a bit of himself, and his father. They were both werewolves, even though he was only a half-werewolf. Not many people were fond of them, almost all pushed them away from society. Being a half-werewolf wasn't as bad, for he didn't turn into a full werewolf, but got fidgety, more angry at the full moon. If anyone asked, he wouldn't have replied. Gram often worried about him, but he controlled well, even without much Wolfsbane potion. Teddy walked up to the shopkeeper and told him, "I'll take him."

The shopkeeper looked at him in confusion, and walked off to get a cage. He came back and put the owl into it. "It's a male, watcha going to name 'im?"

Teddy looked at the owl for a few minutes. "Gavin."

"Alirght...there's a whole care package thing ya can buy for starters, full of treats and food and what not. Going to buy that too?" The shopkeeper asked.

Teddy nodded as he grabbed the cage as the shopkeeper shuffled around to get a package. He came back, handed the package to Teddy. Then Teddy put the money on the desk and left. With his new wand, robes, friend, owl, among other things, he realized the checklist was completed and rushed back home.
