"Wasn't it two up and three across?" Uncle Ron asked scratching his chin thoughtfully.
"We've been over this it's three up and two across." Aunt Hermione glared at Uncle Ron
"Right, in you go kids."
For as he spoke the bricks in the wall had folded in on themselves and created a giant arch into the busiest street Albus had ever seen. Diagon Alley.
"Alright Albus and Rose need wands, and everyone needs books and robes. James' are getting much to small. Probably need to visit the apothecary too." Albus' mother Ginny said.
"Don't forget scales, a cauldron and a telescope." Rose chimed in.
"Those too. And you guys might want a owl."
"Well wands first." Albus' dad Harry spoke firmly. "I'll take you two while you all get everyone's books."
Rose, Harry and Albus entered a small shabby store called Ollivanders which Albus' dad had explained was the best wandmaker around. A very old man with grey eyes came from the back of the store.
"Ah yes I remember holly, eleven inches, phoenix feather, nice and supple I remember that day very well."
Albus' dad smiled. "As do I. My son Albus here needs a wand and so does my neice Rose."
"Ahh yes, of course. You look a lot like your father Albus and your grandfather. Let me see, try this." Ollivander said pulling out a velvety box and giving it to Albus. "Just give it a wave."
Albus gave it a wave and a shelf behind Albus burst into flames. Albus stared in horror as his dad quickly put it out.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Ollivander. I didn't mean to set it on fire, honestly!" But Ollivander just smiled pleasantly at Albus. "Not to worry, try this one."
And so Albus did, in fact it felt like he had tried every single wand Ollivander had. Olivander handed him another one (Oak, Phoenix feather, 11 inches) and Albus gave it a quick wave wondering what would blow up this time but instead he felt a surge of warmth and it was Rose's turn to look for a wand.
She found one much faster than Albus had and they were off to Madam Malkins.
