Chapter 1-A New Wand

"Look who we have here. Our wandless little snake!'
"Shut it, James."
Albus was sitting on the sofa, bored. His best friend Scorpius was unable to visit him this summer. But what was even worse for him was that his wand had been broken during the end of his third year. He was going to get a new wand today, but he missed his old one-pine, thirteen inches, dragon heartstring.
"You know, I feel bad for you, Asp." said James.
Again, thought Al. His brother used to tease him by calling him Asp, i.e. His initials, Albus Severus Potter.
"You call me that again and I will-"started Al.
"What will you do, Asp?"
Al then rushed to his father in the dining room. He went there and found him reading The Daily Prophet.
"I need your wand, Dad."
Harry raised an eyebrow."And what will you need it for?"he asked.
"I am going to hex James into oblivion." replied Al.
"What has he-"started Dad.
"Give me your wand Dad!" Al half-shouted. But when Dad shook his head, Al launched himself on him, and took his wand by force. He then ran for James.
He found James in his room, looking at his broom.
"Incarceous!"
Ropes flew from Dad's wand and they James was caught off his guard.
"Help!"shouted James.
"Al, what-"
Dad had come upstairs. He saw James' state and shot a murderous glare at Al.
"Al, you should not have done this."
"But Dad-"
"No excuses."said Dad firmly. He waved his wand at James and the ropes that were binding him vanished."Now you two better get ready. We'll be leaving in about ten minutes."
Hearing this, Albus quickly went to his room quickly. He opened his wardrobe and put on a t-shirt and jeans. Albus' room was quite Slytherin-y. There were a few posters and banners related to Slytherin. There was a snake figurine on his desk. His room was also painted green.
Al wasn't the only non-Gryffindor in the family. His favourite cousin Rose was(obviously) in Ravenclaw, and his sister Lily was(surprisingly) Sorted into Slytherin. His mother nearly fainted when she heard that Lily was put into Slytherin as well. She did recover from the shock, but not fully.
Scorpius Malfoy was Al's best mate. Al was also friends with the Zabini twins Orion and Corvus(the latter in Ravenclaw).
He also had a few more friends, Delia Moon(a Ravenclaw) amongst them.
Al went to the drawing room and found Dad,Mum and Lily standing by the fireplace.
"Where's James?"asked Al.
"Here I am."James said coming downstairs.
"Okay."said Dad."Kids first then."
Al, James and Lily got into the fireplace. Al took the Floo Powder and shouted"Diagon Alley!"
Al kept his eyed closed. He was afraid to look at other fire places whilst Flooing. Then they slowed down and nearly tripped, but someone caught them.
"Honestly Al,"said a familiar voice,"do you always have to trip?"
"Scorpius!"said Al, beaming. He hugged his best friend.
"Hello, young Potter." said Mr Malfoy.
"Hello, Mr Malfoy."said Al. He shook his hand.
Then, Al's Dad came.
"Malfoy," said Dad in greeting."Have you finished your shopping?"
"Potter,"replied Mr Malfoy."Actually, I just came here. I haven't even started shopping"
Then they did their shopping. They bought books from Flourish and Blott's, new robes from Madam Malkin's(only for James) and a few potion ingredients from the Apothecary. Then they headed for Ollivander's when Hannah Abbott told Dad about receiving a letter from an acquaintance or something.
"Al, why don't yo ho to Ollivander's and get your wand?" said Harry.
"Alright." said Harry. "You two coming?" he asked James and Lily.
"Nah, we'll visit the Quidditch shop. You fine with that Lily?" She nodded.
James and Al were Seekers of the Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams respectively. Lily was going to tryout for the Chaser position this year. Slytherin had won the last two Quidditch Cups and the last three house cups.
Al entered the shop and saw Mr Ollivander standing behind the reception.
"Ah, Mr Potter!"he said in greeting."Need another wand?" Al nodded."What happened to the last one?"
"It broke," replied Al. "I really miss it."
"It was most unfortunate." admitted Mr Ollivander. He then took his wrist measurement.
"Let's see," he said while searching for a wand. "I don't know why Mr Potter, but I think this wand may choose you."
He took out a peculiar wand from a box. It had to be at least fourteen inches long. It had round balls(at least they looked like balls) attached to it.
"Elder wood and Thestral hair"said Mr Ollivander."Fifteen inches. I found it lying near Dumledore's tomb."
Dumledore's Tomb?Thestral Hair? What was he saying? But he needed a wand and so, he took it in his hand and felt a sudden warmth in his hand. Red sparks shot out from the wand.
"Excellent!"exclaimed Mr Ollivander."That'll be twenty galleons. This wand is exceptionally powerful which is why it also a tad expensive."
Al paid him the money and walked out of the shop. He felt good now, after getting an "exceptionally powerful" wand. And, to him, it was like the most powerful wand in the world.
