One wild cart ride later they were back in the main hall of the back waiting for Harry and Hagrid to come back, Bunny rushing off for a pick-me-up at the Leaky Cauldron.

Ten minutes later, Harry and Hagrid came back, Harry looking excited.

"Might as well get your uniforms first," Hagrid said pointing towards Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions.

"While you do that Jack, we'll get your other things," North said to Jack while Hagrid said to Harry he was going back the Leaky Cauldron saying he hated the Gringotts carts.

Together, Harry and Jack went into the shop, one looking curious, one looking nervous.

Madam Malkin was a squat, smiling witch dressed in mauve.

"Hogwarts, dears?" she said when they walked in "Got the whole lot here, another young man being fitted right now in fact, so I'm afraid one of you will need to wait, I only have two stools."

"I'll wait," Jack said letting Harry get fitted first as he looked at all the different cloaks and robes spotting one particular light blue one with snowflakes that was in a display case with a sign saying 'Old Man Winter's Cloak – dates to 1748'

Smirking Jack remembered when he defeated that old geezer and took the role of the Spirit of Winter.*

(*AN Read my other story 'How Did Jack Frost Become the Bringer of Winter' for the full story.)

While he was looking around, he heard the other boy talking to Harry about 'Quidditch and Hufflepuff and Slytherin' having no idea what any of these were, and nor did it seem did Harry.

"I say look at that man!" the blonde boy said suddenly, nodding to the window where Hagrid was holding some ice-creams to show why he couldn't come in.

"That's Hagrid," Harry said "He works at Hogwarts."

Jack went back to looking at the cloaks finding it harder and harder to ignore the other boy as he was shunning people just because they weren't witches and wizards.

"That's you done then dear," Madam Malkin said to Harry who got down right away, not looking sorry for an excuse to stop talking to the boy.

Jack got onto the foot stool as Harry paid for his robe saying to Jack he'll be outside with Hagrid.

"So, what are you his brother or something?" the blonde boy asked Jack.

"Or something," Jack said glaring at him a little.

Before they can have a conversation Madam Malkin said that the other boy was done.

"Well, see both of you at Hogwarts then, I suppose," he said getting down paying and leaving.

A few minutes later Jack was leaving too, and went looking for the others, seeing Harry and Hagrid outside an ice-cream shop.

"Hey guys," Jack said coming over.

"Hello Jack, come on over, I was just about to tell Harry what Quidditch is," Hagrid said turning back to Harry "It's our sport. Wizard sport. It's like – like football for Muggles. Everyone loves Quidditch, plaid in the on broomsticks and there are four balls – sorta hard to explain the rules."

"Played in the air on brooms?" Jack asked looking forward to that.

"Yep," Hagrid said nodding.

"And what are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?" Harry asked taking a bite of his ice-cream.

"School houses. There's four. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot o' duffers, but –"

"I bet I'm in Hufflepuff," said Harry gloomily.

"I'll take that bet," Jack said smiling "Let's see... I bet you 3 Sickles that you are not put in that house." Jack said.

"You want to bet money on something that's sure to happen?" Harry asked confused.

"How do you know it will 'Sure to happen?'" Jack asked "Hagrid said there are four houses not two. So you in?"

Before Harry could say yes or no Hagrid said darkly "Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin. There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in that house. You-Know-Who was one."

"Vol – sorry – You-Know-Who was at Hogwarts?"

"Years and years ago," said Hagrid.

"There you are Jack!" North called as he and the other Guardians came over with different parcels and things wrapped up in brown paper.

Bunny looked much better.

"All that's left is your wand, unless you want to take a pet with you," Tooth said looking at the list as Harry and Hagrid went to get Harry's things.

"Ok sure," Jack said nodding as they set of to the Owl Emporium first, Tooth waiting outside with North who was a little too big for the shop.

As Jack came out he was carrying a silver cage holding small burrowing owl. There was a snowy owl, but she didn't seem interested in Jack.

"Just Ollivanders left now," North said leading the way to the wand shop.

"What for? I got my staff haven't I why do I need a wand?" Jack asked.

"One, Because it's on your list," Bunny said rolling his eyes "And two, When you go to Hogwarts you're not going to be Jack Frost, Ice Prince/Winter Spirit, you're going to be a normal boy like everyone else."

Pouting, Jack just followed them inside, not even reading the sign over the door saying Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC.

A tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside. It was a tiny place.

So tiny Jack wondered just how it was able to fits everyone inside.

Jack looked around at all the boxes each one, no doubt holding a different wand.

"Good afternoon," a soft voice said, making Jack jump and spin around to see an old man with wide pale eyes.

"Um Hello," Jack said nervously looking around for the others to help him.

"Ah yes, Professor Dumbledore told me you would be coming Jack Frost," Mr Ollivander said coning over. "I believe you have a staff, or at least that's what Albus told me. May I see it please to get an idea on what wand you need?" he asked.

"No, sorry, North made me leave it behind at the Pole," Jack said looking to where North was surprised to see him holding his staff.

"Snowglobe Jack," North said chuckling at the boys expression and giving the staff to Ollivander.

"Hmm..." the man said taking it and playing with it gently "Ash, 5 foot 8 inches, powerful, very old, but seeing as it's yours my boy I'm not surprised..."

Jack stayed quiet avoiding everyones eyes.

"What's this?" Ollivander asked coming to the middle of the staff where when the light caught if just right you could see ice was binding it together.

"Oh, um, it got broken a couple of years ago," Jack said nervously "But I was able to fix it again afterwards."

"Jack when was this?" Tooth asked concerned a little, but Jack didn't answer her.

"And you're sure you're alright, my boy?" Ollivander asked looking Jack up and down "After all a consort such as this when broken could have effects on it's holder."

"I'm fine, it was years ago anyway so, I doubt it did anything but make my insides feel like they were on fire for a bit."

This made the Guardians look to each other wondering what else Jack wasn't telling them.

Giving Jack back his staff, Mr Ollivander asked to see of magic.

Nodding Jack touched the head of his staff to the desk and made some frost patterns appear.

"Amazing," Ollivander said smiling now taking out a tape measure out of his pocket "Now, which is your wand-arm?"

"Um well I can use my staff in both hands but I mostly use my right one," Jack said.

"Hold out your arm. That's it." he said and measured Jack from shoulder to finger, then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit and around the head.

As he measured he told Jack and the Guardians that every Ollivander wand was different and each one holding either a Phoenix tail feather, a hair of a Unicorn's tail or a heartstring of a Dragon.

"That will do," Mr Ollivander, coming back with some boxes, said to the tape which was measuring around Jack's waist at the moment, and it fell to the floor "Now," he said opening the first box and giving the wand to Jack. "Try this. Ash, unicorn tail, 10 and a half inches just take it and give it a wave."

Giving his staff to Tooth, Jack took the wand and waved it making boxes go flying.

"I guess not."

After trying a few more, Jack found one that was right for him.

Ash, Dragon heartstring 7.6 inches, dates back to the early 1700's.

"Oh well done." Mr Ollivander said cheerfully and Tooth clapped happily and Sandy jumped for joy.

After paying for it, they left catching Harry and Hagrid and they were about to head inside to get Harry's wand.

"Well see yeh at Hogwarts then Jack," Hagrid said to the youngest Guardian when North said they had to go.

"Yeah see you, and see you on the train Harry," Jack said picking up his owl, seeing Harry had the snowy that rejected him.

"Bye," Harry said smiling.

And with that, the Guardians went back to the Leaky Cauldron, back onto the roof, and headed back to the Pole.
