Mary Sue and The Faullivander wand.
When Mary Sue Snape was eleven, she lived in Massachusetts and went to a normal school and had lots and lots of friends. Mary Sue lived with her parents, George and Pussy Snape, in a nice big house that wasn't haunted. George was a corporate planner. Pussy was a new age chef. Nothing ever strange or exciting (except a boy band concert,) ever happened. Mary Sue was very happy. She didn't think things would change.
Mary Sue had dishwater blonde hair. Her eyes were slate gray. They never changed color. In her free time, she liked to ride her bike. Was she a champion bike rider? Hell no. But she did have a mark on her arm from the time she fell off her bike into a puddle of mud. It wasn't special at all.
The only odd thing that had ever happened in Mary Sue's life was once when she was seven she got mad because her laptop had crashed, so she went to light a soothing candle. When she reached towards it, it lit up! It never happened again. Mary Sue was sure it was some kind of trick of her mind.
So the summer when Mary Sue was Eleven, she thought she would be going back to her regular school with all her friends as soon as it was over, and she was very excited for the yearly family rafting and camping trip, but then when she was sitting on her front porch reading the latest R.L.Stine, an owl swooped down and dropped a letter on her head. It was addressed to her. Mary Sue was confused. So she ate the letter. It was tasty. The end.
HAHA fooled you. Mary Sue took the letter inside to show to her dad, who got all excited and called for Pussy, who also got excited, and they hugged Mary Sue and patted her on the back, and George called all the relatives, and Pussy went to the kitchen to make Mary Sue her favorite dish. "What's going on?" asked Mary Sue. "Oh you'll love it!" said Pussy from the kitchen. "George!" she yelled "Be sure to pack Mary's toothbrush!"
"I thought we weren't leaving on the rafting trip for another three weeks," said Mary Sue.
"Oh, no, dear, you're not going on the rafting trip," replied her mom.
"I'm not?" asked Mary Sue with confusion and disappointment.
"No, dear, you have to go to England to stay with your grandma, and you're going to have to leave right away."
"Why do I have to go to England?"
"you'll see. It will be a good experience."
"When will I come back? I don't understand! Why can't I stay here? I'm supposed to go swimming with Jane on Friday!"
"You'll just have to cancel, my dear."
But poor Mary Sue was confused all the way to the Airport the next morning, and still confused when she arrived at Heathrow airport, where her stuffy Grandma had come to pick her up. "Aren't you a little tall to be eleven?" asked her Grandma.
The next few weeks were terrible. Her grandma didn't like the way Mary Sue held her fork and knife. She didn't like how she brushed her teeth. Her grandma had a strange love for the occult. There were creepy things everywhere, stuffed birds, nasty looking books, boxes that were covered in dust and were forbidden to touch. Mary's Sue Grandma gave her a bunch of well-worn books entitled "charms for beginners." Mary Sue didn't understand what was so complex about Charm bracelets that they had to write a four hundred-page book about it, so she dumped the books in the corner and forgot about them.
"Have you studied the books I gave you?" asked Grandma on the last day of August.
"No, they looked boring. Can I go home soon? I think school started last week."
"What are you talking about, Mary Sue? School starts tomorrow."
"So I'm going home tomorrow?" asked Mary Sue with excitement.
"No, you're going to school tomorrow." Mary Sue was confused.
"Hogwarts is one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Your parents are extremely proud, as is the rest of the family. The first Wizard in three generations. I'm sure you will do splendidly. You might want to try on your uniform tonight."
"UNIFORM????" Screamed Mary Sue. She ran to her room and cried her self to sleep.
