Chapter One: A Chance Encounter
Tessa Fays looked around Diagon Ally with a smirk. She would be attending her first year at Hogwarts, and her mother had dropped her off so she could complete her school shopping. Looking down at her shopping list she realized she only had one thing left to pick up, her wand. Shoving her list into one of her shopping bags she smiled down at the small Fire-Bellied toad she had just gotten," Let's go, shall we Axies?"
Crossing the street she wandered until she located Ollivander's. "If I remember correctly, this is where Mum told me to get my wand." Stepping through the single door, she noticed there was one other boy there, but shrugged it off. ", are you here?" "Just a minute!" a voice called from the backroom, so she moved to the side. Waiting, she turned to the other young wizard and smiled," First year at Hogwarts?"
"Yeah," the boy returned with a small smile," How about you?" Tucking a piece of blonde hair behind her ear she grinned," Same! I'm Tessa Fays, and you are?" Sticking her hand out, the boy shook it before replying," Harry Potter." Before she could say anything else though, a voice interrupted them.
" I was wondering when I'd see you Miss Fays, oh! You as well . It seems like only yesterday both your parents were in here buying their first wands. Well, who'd like to go first? Miss Fays, how about you?" Stepping in front of the old man she couldn't help but smile, he liked to talk a lot, but he was nice. "Sure, why not?" She watched as he went to the back, muttering and moving things about before he came back with a box.
After he handed her the wand that was inside she looked at it. She wasn't dumb when it came to magic, but she didn't exactly know if she was supposed to try to cast a spell or something. "Well, give a wave." Looking up at she gave a sheepish smile before giving the wand a flick, which resulted in a vase on his desk to explode. Taking the wand back, shook his head, "Definatly not that one."
She repeated this process a few times until she was on her fifth wand. Giving it a flick, she winced, expecting something to explode. However, the tip simply sparkled a beautiful silver-blue and she smiled. "Well congratulations Miss Fays, you are now the proud owner of a 6 inch, Cherry Wood infused with a Hungarian Horntail dragon scale." Paying , she tucked her new wand behind her ear and waved at Harry, "See you on the train I guess. Good luck with your wand!" And with that she left.
She shopped around some more before returning home at precisely 1'oclock, which is when she had tea with her mother. Stepping into the parlor she sat down and her mother sent her a gentle smile. "Did you have fun today darling?" Sipping her tea she showed her mom her wand before replying," It was all right I suppose. I did meet someone interesting today though, one Mr. Harry Potter." Looking over the brim of her own teacup her mother raised an eyebrow.
"Harry Potter you say? You'd be good to stay away from him darling. Celebrity brats cause nothing but trouble."
Disclaimer: I do not claim to own Harry Potter in any way, because let's face it, if I did, Cho Chang wouldn't be in it, and a lot more people than Dumbledore would be gay.
