Begining in Diagon Alley

Eclipse looked around Diagon Alley. It was all so new and exciting. She only just heard she was a witch from her new magic guide, Daniel. He had come to her three days prior and told her she was a witch. Her parents were so proud, considering she was "Muggle" born. Daniel looked at Eclipse with a smile.

"Alright, let's get going. There's a lot to get and one morning to do it," he told her. Eclipse nodded and ran through the town, her platinum blonde hair fluttering through the wind. Daniel walked over to her, his smile spreading wide across his face. Eclipse skidded to at stop and turned to him.

"Where to first?" she asked, eager to get going. Daniel looked around.

"Well we need plain work clothes, one plain pointed hat, one pair of protective gloves, one winter cloak, a wand, one cauldron, one set of vials, one telescope and one set of brass scales," he explained. Eclipse scared into the sky.

"Let's start with the stuff you need me for, so if we run out of time you can get them later," she offered. Daniel nodded and began leading her to the clothing store. They spent quiet some time trying to fit her and eventually walked out with the necessities. Daniel began checking things off in his head.

"Last thing I need you for is the wand," he recalled. Eclipse looked at him.

"Yes, I'm so excited!" she exclaimed jumping in the air. Daniel smiled and led her to the wand store. Eclipse was quivering with joy; this was all so new and exciting. Daniel showed her into the store where an older man stood behind a counter. Eclipse cocked her head, wondering how old this man was. He had a long, bushy white beard and almost no hair on his head. The only hair he had was making a broken halo around his head.

"It's a wizard!" Eclipse gasped. Daniel scowled.

"Hey, I'm a wizard too," he pointed out. Eclipse looked at him then the old man.

"Be he looks more wizard-y," she replied. She heard a muffled chortle from the corner of the room. She looked to her left to see a girl. She was about her age and had curly, blazing red hair down that hung at her mid back. Her eyes were a deep brown and a smile had been slapped onto her face. She walked over to Eclipse.

"You must be Muggle born, if this is all so new to you," the girl said softly, "I know about magic from my parents who are currently out getting new robes for my brothers. My name is Erica, what's yours?" Eclipse looked at the girl and blinked a couple times before recollecting herself.

"I'm Eclipse!" she replied holding out her hand. Erica shook it gently.

"Nice to meet you," she cooed. Eclipse nodded and looked at the box in Erica's free hand.

"What's that?" she asked. Erica looked at the box. She carefully opened it and pulled out what looked like a stick to Eclipse.

"It's my wand; Cherry wood with Unicorn hair," Erica explained. Eclipse's mouth gapped open in awe when she saw the fine carving of vines swirling around the wand. She quickly closed her mouth and smiled.

"It's pretty," she cheered before remembering why she was here "That's right! I still need to get my wand!" Erica smiled and began walking towards the door.

"Well I will take my leave then. Look for me on the train, I'll have a spot waiting for you," she concluded leaving the store. The old wizard approached Eclipse.

"You say you are looking for a wand, right?" he asked. Eclipse nodded quickly. The wizard grabbed a tape measure and began measuring her arm. She waited through the measurements and then watched the wizard walk away. He began browsing throughout the shop, pulling out a variety of boxes. He returned to her and placed the boxes on the floor. He held the first one and opened it, handing the wand inside to Eclipse.

"This is an oak wand with dragon heartstring inside," he explained. Eclipse carefully cradled the wand.

"What now?" she asked. The wizard looked at her.

"Try casting a spell," he replied. Daniel cleared his throat before leaning in and whispering something to the wizard. "Ah, I see. Well, try this spell," he said digging a tiny piece of paper out of his pocket. He handed it to Eclipse who read it.

"What does Expeliam-Expeliam... This spell thing do?" she asked.

"You see that feather over there?" The wizard questioned pointing to a swan feather resting on his desk. She nodded "Say those words and point at the feather," he explained. Eclipse pointed to the feather.

"Expelliarmus!" she exclaimed pointing at the feather. Nothing happened.

"Hmmm, doesn't appear to work well with you," the wizard murmured. He took the wand and put it back into its box. He picked up a new one, pulling out the wand and handing it to her. "Try this one instead, it's willow wood and unicorn hair," he told her. Eclipse tried casting the spell again and the feather exploded.

"Ah, definitely not that one!" the wizard said quickly taking away the wand. They spent hours trying out wands and nothing was working. Eclipse began wondering if it was her.

"You can't be honestly running out of ideas," Daniel whispered to the wizard. He was trying to be quiet but it wasn't working. He was obviously panicking. Eclipse began wondering the store and found a box in the corner of a shelf. For some reason it drew her in, like a force that was telling her to come. She walked over to it and pulled it out. Daniel saw her.

"Eclipse, don't go-" The wizard sushed him before he could finish.

"The wand is calling her," he explained. Eclipse sat on the ground and pulled out the wand. It looked simple, a thick handle with rings of wood above the handle and on the tip. But, carved into the bottom was a small, running wolf. It looked almost impossible to carve considering the miniscule size. The wizard smiled and pulled out a new feather. He placed it on the ground.

"Try it," he urged. Eclipse nodded and twirled the wand.

"Expelliarmus," she said softly. The feather slowly began floating in the air. Daniel watched it as it landed on his shoulder. Eclipse smiled.

"Perfect," Daniel cooed picking up the feather. The wizard looked at the wand Eclipse was holding. He gently took it and began examining it, measuring it and everything.

"This is an Elder wood wand with a phionex feather in it," he explained placing it in the box "And now it's yours."
