Chapter one
I looked up at the big sign that said Olivander's Jr. My mother had stood here years ago. I walked in and strode up to the counter as the door clanged shut behind me. "And what may I do for you today?" asked a short sandy haired boy, he looked about 18. "I need a wand." I replied timidly."Well then, step right up and let me measure you from head to toe!"
He chattered on and on until at last he had my torso and right arm measured. Then the boy walked down a row of shelves. He chose and small black rectangular box and held it out to me.
"There you are!" he beamed. I stared at the box. "Well try it out, give it a wave!" And so I waved it. We were soon engulfed in a cloud of dust. "Oh! Not this one! Just a second… Voila! Hawthorn, Dragon heartstring and 14 and 2 quarter inches!" After this it looked like a windstorm had swept through the little shop. It was about 47 wand waves after that he left. I thought he wouldn't come back until 5 minutes later there he was with a very old and battered looking box.
"This is an Olivander original, his last too I think." He said sadly. It has been here so long I think it may be too depressed or the hair might have died.
I gave it a wave, my fingers tingled and out came 5 gold sparks. I smiled and so did he. "Alder, Unicorn hair and 12 and 3 quarter inches and as my uncle would say 'nice and supple'" He joyously announced. "Seven galleons please, oh and please give my card to your friends!" I payed him and he handed me his card. His name was Hamish Olivander, he was taking over the wand making job since Mr. Olivander was dead. I walked out happily. My uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa met me outside the door.
"What a handsome wand! We will definatly need to buy you a wand holster to go with it!" said Aunt Narcissa with exclamation. "Now come Ebony! Time to leave this filthy alley." Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius took both of my hand swiftly and we did a side along appiration home.
Just as I turned on the spot I heard some terrified people cry out. "It's Bellatrix Lestrange!" I of course was not Bellatrix, but the Lestange's secret daughter, Ebony.
