Walking down the stairs and onto the main floor. Walking into the main entry room, where the pearl white tiled floor gleamed. The walls were tall with large walls were a light grayish blue color, the large windows had a light golden colored drapes.
I then followed my father down a hallway that matched the main room. walking past doors. We then walked to the end where a pair of like glass doors were, my father reached to the knob, pushing the door open.
the inside had a dark blue carpet with deep brown colored rosewood bookshelves that were as tall as the room, with two large arched windows on the sides, on the opposite side of the door to the house was another pair of matching glass doors that went out into the garden. The book shelves were filled with various books. In the middle of the room was a large round table that had food and drinks on it.
The room had a lot of people within it. I took a gulp of breath, as my father spoke, I must've stopped breathing. "Come my dear, meet the people you must best." He lead me to a man whom was shorter than I was, I assume he was part something.
"Hello, Rowan, good to see you again" He spoke with a light, happy tone" He then looked from my father to me, "This must be Amber Rose I presume? Or is it Ava Romulea? I can never tell when I see pictures, you both share a common beauty that must be a given, being decendents of the Rowena"
"Greetings, Filius, this one is Amber Rose" My father introduced us, "Amber Rose, this is Filius Flitwick, Professor over charms and the head of Ravenclaw."
I reached my hand out, as a greeted him, "Salutations" keeping my annoyance out of my voice. Being mistaken for my sister. I'm not alike her. Ava and I were nothing alike, aside from genes.
He took my hand into his warm and sweaty hand, "Nice to meet you my dear." He quickly pulled his hand out of mine, "My, aren't you just cold at the touch." he noted, then he looked to my shoulder where the soft warm body of Capone, "My, what an odd choice for a pet."
"Unlike Ava, Amber has terrible anxiety" My father continued to explain, "the little creature isn't a pet, it is used her to stay relaxed. It'll be seen with her most if not all the time"
The feeling of annoyance grew, Capone wasn't an 'it' he was precise to me. I felt a pair of warm hands on my arm, pulling me away from the two men. I turned to the person holding me, it was none other than Ava.
"Mom wants you to meet the students" She informed me,
"No Ava, Amber needs to meet the professors as do you" Our father spoke up, before Ava could drag me away.
With that he led us to a group of three, I could recognize one of them as, Albus Dumbledore, a tall man with long white auburn hair that went into his beard. The headmaster of Hogwarts, one would have to be a bloody buffoon not to know who he was. Standing with him was an woman with grey black hair that was styled with a bun. The other man in the group had shoulder length black hair that looked as if it were coated in oil. He looked as if he wasn't pleased to be here.
"Albus, Minerva, Serveus" Our father greeted them, causing the three to look from him to, both Ava and myself, as he introduced us, "these are Ava Romulea and Amber Rose, children, these are, your future professors Severus Snape, Minerva McGongall and-"
"Albus Precival Wulfric Brain Dumbledore, not only the headmaster of Hogwarts but also, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamort, Supreme Mugwump, along with various other titles" I intrrupted already knowing whom he was, reading and not being utterly daft of the common knowledge. I could feel my fathers hand on my shoulder tighten, obviously displeased by my interruption.
Dumbledore gave a soft smile, showing his whiteish teeth, "You may refer to me as Dumbledore, young Ravenclaw" He winked in a joking matter, then looked to Ava, then back to me, "My spitting images of Rowena Ravenclaw herself" he noted. They then engaged in a conversation with our father about the ministry, allowing the chance for Ava and I to slip away.
Walking towards the double glass doors that I came in from. Luckily, I made it out without being noticed. Once i made it to the safety of my room i let out a huff of air, now being away from the crowd of people, I was now safe away from them all. Setting Capone down on my lap as I pulled out my Muggle book.
-TIME JUMP-
We had one more day before school, we were in Diagon Ally getting the last few supplies for school. Ava and I were accompanied by our mother, while our father was at work in the ministry.
"Now lastly wands, come. "Our mother stated, as she ushered Ava and I towards Ollivanders wand shop. Once inside I saw the shelves were stocked with boxes of wands, it was a bit messy, and cluttered with the boxes, everywhere, as well as some dust. After a few moments a man with long grey white hair and silvers eyes stepped out from behind a shelf walking towards the counter top.
Giving a smile, "I've been wondering when I'd see you again Alma Rubus." The man greeted our mother, "cutting it a bit close aren't we?" He questioned our timing of coming here and our limited time before school would start.
My mother gave her polite smile, "Rowen and I had prior engagements" she uttered simply before continuing, "Our daughters are here for their wands now, I'll leave them to you, as I have to meet with Druella, girls I'll meet you at the Leaky Cauldron" She waved us off as she left.
"Alright girls, how alike are?" He questioned, as he walked into the shelves.
Ava answered, "More different then anything."
I nodded in agreement before giving my thoughts, "If Ravenclaw weren't a house I'm sure she'd be in Hufflepuff-"
"She'd be lost" Ava snickered, I raised a brow at her, she smiled before explaining, "as in you're for sure meant to be in the house, books, knowledge, studying and being a brainiac with every subject, you're basically the embodiment of the traits of the house." I rolled my eyes, as the old man came back with box's that were similar.
"These this one is are alike that of your fathers and your brother " He whispered the last part, before he spoke louder, "Apple wood, core of dragon heart string, 13 inches, rather springy. " he opened the boxes showing the lightly colored wands, both elegantly carved with swirly lines. Ava grabbed it first and gave it a flick, nothing happened.
"I guess it's not for me?" She questioned, handing it over to me, before the Ollivander could object.
Giving it a flick of my own it lit a shelf on fire, quickly i set it back in the box. The old man easily put the fire out with his own wand.
"Now this on is alike your mothers wand, Manolia and has a core of a dryad hair, 12 inches long and rigid." He opened the box handing it to Ava first, once the medium toned wand was in her hand it gave a light gold glow.
Ava looked at Ollivander questioningly, "that's good right"
"It has chosen you, it's yours" He spoke with a smile, then looked to me, "I'll be right back for you" He disappeared behind the shelves.
"this is awesome" Ava smiled at her wand, setting it in the box and holding out her purse, that had the Gallons she was given by our mother.
The old man came back, "This wand is the same as your sisters, but an inch longer" he advised. Once i picked it up, a green light exploded from it, sending a shock through my hand, shocking me i dropped it.
The wand caused a crazy amount of wind to blow.
After a few more wands fighting and letting out displeasing affects. The old man was standing in front of me in deep thought.
I sighed, then Ava spoke "I guess you're not pleasing to them, maybe you should go on a date with the next one" I glared at her joke.
"Ava you may go, let your mother know it's taking awhile" The old man instructed her, without objection she left, once she did Ollivander disappeared behind some shelves once again, "You have no need to fear, my girl, you may just need a wand meant to withhold a lot of power." he called.
Capone had crawled out of my messenger bag, after a wand had let out a sharp sound that likely hurt his ears. Pulling him from my shoulder holding him in my arms, he had a small blue scarf wrapped around his neck, he tilted his head to one side, almost seeming to feel i was sad. I smiled at him,using my other hand to rub the top of his head, right between his ears.
The old man returned with a silver box that had red scribbles on it opening the box he handed me the wand, it was a dark wood color, almost black with a silver tip, while the handle was shaped into the head of a bird, it had blue lines that were elegantly carved into it with glass silver spots on either side of the head of the bird , "16 inches, plum wood, the core has two feathers, and reasonably springy."
Setting Capone back on my shoulder i reached for the wand picking it up, it released a silvery light once it was in my grasp, the light seemed to sing, i felt a warmth within me, happy for a good sign, of a wand accepting me as it's user. I blinked at it, then looked to Ollivander, waiting to know what animal the core was from, feathers of what?
He returned my glance, almost knowing exactly my thoughts, as he spoke in an almost whisper, answering my unvoiced question "the feathers of the winged, unicorn from the stars, better known as the lunar alicorn" Before I could ask for more information, he walked closer pushing me out the door, "I've got to go now, now good day my dear, be good at school" once I was out the door, it was locked.
Before I could do anything my mother and sister came up, "Come Amber, time to go home"
"What about our owls mother?" Ava asked her, seeming to forget the earlier conversation we had.
I rolled my eyes at her, as i answered her question, "We won't have any, we'll have our ravens acting as our owls, weren't you listening this morning?"
She gave a sheepish look, rubbing her cheeks that were becoming a pink color, obviously she was feeling stupid for asking, "Yeah, I do."
With that we went home. To spend our last evening at home.
