Upon entering Ollivander's Wand Shop, Ruby was amazed on how much bigger it looked compared to the outside. Looking around was in aw of all the different wands. The wands on display were so cool Ruby couldn't help but to guess what kind of wands they were "This one is made from Ash wood just like Yang's. That one is made from Ebony wood. Wow it looks so cool. That one up there has Alder wood. Ooo, and this on is made from Hawthorn." Ruby was lost in her own world as she looked at all of the different wands. Then the shop keep walked up to Ruby and said "You sure know your wands young lady. Not many kids these days know what kind of work is put into building a wand."
Ruby jumped in surprise and said "I'm sorry I didn't realized you were there. I love wands, I would order wand magazines every other month. I even read up on the different woods and cores to make a wand." The shop keeper was happy hearing that there were still people out their with a passion for their wands. "I assume that you are here to pick your wand?" The shop keeper said as he began to look through the differ shelving. "Yes sir, this will be my second wand. My old one broke last year, it was a good wand but it didn't last very long. I was practicing magic when all of a sudden the wood started to crack. I don't know what happened." Ruby explained.
"I see." The shop keeper said as he pull out a wand box from the bottom of the shelf. "How about you try this one? It is made from…" Shop keeper said as he handed it to Ruby when she interrupted him "Its made from Pear wood. It is said that Pear wood produce wands of splendid magical powers. Possessors of pear wands are, in the experience of the learned wandmaker like Garrick Ollivander, usually popular and are well-respected." Ruby couldn't help but blush at how much she knows. "That is correct young lady."
Ruby then pick up the wand and made a swish motion, in turn making herself float. "Ah. I-I don't think this wand is for me." Ruby handed the wand back before she floated to the ceiling. The shop keeper then went to the middle row of the shelf in the back. Bringing back a Dogwood wand and he handed it to Ruby. Ruby once again made swishing motion causing sparklers to fly out every where. "That one didn't work ether, hm." The shop keeper said. He took a moment to analysis Ruby and tried to think of a wand that would be good for such a gifted child. Then he saw Ruby's eyes. "You have silver eyes." Said the shop keeper. "Yes I do. My dad says that I got them from my mom." The shop keeper knelt down from the counter and pulled out a rather small wand box that looked like it hasn't been touched in years. "How about this one?" the shop keeper said as he handed a small Rosewood wand to Ruby. Upon grabbing the wand Ruby's eye began to shine like moon light the world around her felt like warm snow. "Ruby." Said a misty voice from her wand.
"I have meet many witches and wizards, in my life. But there was only one young witch I have meet in my younger days that could only use that same wand. That witch did great thing but only due to pay a heavy price. I hope that you do not fall for the same fate that she had." Said the shop keeper in a fearful tone. Ruby took one last look at the wand and she remembered that Ollivander once said that the wand chooses their master, and this wand choose her. Ruby gave a nod and took out her money and paid for the wand. With payment done the shops door opened and Taiyang walked in with all of Ruby belongings from the day. "Sorry it took me so long Ruby. But I figured that you might want one of your own." Tai said as he pulled out small size owl cage with a Saw-Whet Owl. Ruby was in aw of how cute the small and cute the little owl was. "Aw he's so cute! I will call him Matthias." Ruby said as she go a better look at her new friend. "Like the mouse from your Redwall books? Isn't that calling predator, pray?" Taiyang said confused. "Its not about what he is. Its about who he is, and he is that is." Ruby said with a warm smile.
With all the shopping finally done Ruby and Tai made their way back home and Ruby got Matthias settled in his new home. Tai then knocked on her door and came in "Yang sent us another letter I figured you'd want to be the first to read it." Tai said as he handed Ruby the envelope. Ruby opened the envelope and took out the letter as she started to read out loud.
Dear Baby Sister and my Old Man,
How have you guys been doing? Beacon was great this year, I got to play a quittage game with Hufflepuff. We creamed them, we won like 155 to 80. I'll be home probably within a week. I plan on stopping by Uncle Qrows place for a quick visit and I'll take the next train to Patch.
By the way I hope Ruby got her acceptance letter. I already know that she got in, as bright of a witch she is Beacon would have to be insane not to let her in. But if they didn't I'll march straight to the headmaster's office and make sure you get in Ruby.
Hope to see you soon,
The One and Only Yang Xoai Long 3
Both Ruby and Tai couldn't help but laugh at knowing that Yang would break down the headmaster's door to get her loving little sister in. With it time for bed Ruby crawled into bed but before she fell a sleep she pulled out her new wand to get a better look at it. On the hilt of the wand had roses carved on it and at the bottom of the hilt was carved a crescent moon. Ruby has never seen such beautiful craftsmanship. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of person had this wand before.
