With a roar of fire around her, Mei disappeared. To reappear in the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, along with a shower of soot and dust. Sputtering, Mei stepped out of the fireplace. Only to see Lia laughing at her. Mei glared. Lia stopped laughing, composed herself just in time when Marla stepped out of the fireplace. What amazed Mei most was that she didn't have a speck of dust on her. Calmly looking around her as if nothing unusual had happened, Marla straightened her shirt collar to see Mei and Lia looking at her in astonishment. She smiled at them, took out her wand and muttered a few words while pointing it at Mei and Lia. Like magic, all the soot and dust fell off of them. Then Mei smirked at herself, Duh, it's like magic. It is magic! Hee Hee Hee!
When she came out of her thoughts, she was just in time to be introduced to a tall man named Tom. Politely, she shook his outstretched hand and murmured a polite greeting. Quickly, after her mother had finished visiting with Tom, he got them settled in. And he went back to his place down below to greet his customers and take their orders. When Lia and Mei finished looking around, Marla took Lia and Mei out to get Mei's school supplies and to stop by the bank. When they came out of the bank, Mei came out carrying a bag full of wizard money. First they stopped by the bookstores and purchased all of her school books. Then Marla stopped by the ice cream parlor and bought them all ice cream. Then they stopped by the pet shop and Marla bought Mei a black cat with purple eyes. Mei named her Darkness. Finally, Marla brought them to the wand shop. Marla walked calmly in along with Mei and Lia. Lia tried to walk casually where Mei, seeing how dark the shop was except for a lamp that lay on the counter in the front of the store, walked as quietly as she could. Which meant that she made no sound as she walked in. Just as she past by a patch of shadows, a soft, whispery voice emerged to form the body of a man, slightly bent over from old age. "Ahhhhh, who have you brought into my store, Marla Aline Knight? Lia Sasha Stevens?"
Creeped out, Mei turned slowly. Her gray-blue eyes met silvery, white eyes in the gloom. Marla, talking softly, "This is my foster daughter. Her name is Mei Akari Knight."
Mei, slightly shivering, met his gaze firmly with her own and said in a voice that could chip ice, "Pleasure meeting you."
Her normally gray gaze turned a cold blue. Ollivander hid his surprise by turning around and walking to the counter. "And what may I do for you today? Looking for a wand perhaps?"
Respectively, Marla bowed her head, "Yes, Ollivander. Can you provide one for her?"
"Yes. Yes, I can." abruptly Ollivander turned his head toward Mei, "Which arm is your wand arm?"
Mei cocked head to the side, thinking, "My left." she said. Ollivander walked backed to her and started to measure her arm and such. Turning away, He began to scan through shelves, obviously looking for something in particular. Finally, he returned to where Mei was standing, "Try this one." he said bluntly. It went like that again and again. The pile of discarded wands grew bigger and bigger. Finally, Ollivander stopped handing Mei wands and told her to wait a minute. Mei waited. As well as Lia and Marla. They waited. And waited and waited. Finally, Ollivander came back with a dusty looking box. He turned to them, gently taking the wand from its case. Softly he said, "Try this one. It is rowan wood with the hair from a unicorn's mane, a scale from a Chinese elemental dragon, a tail feather from a phoenix, a drop of water from the Eternal Spring of Life, fire from the depths of the Fire Mountain, and earth from the Garden of Eden. It's twelve inches."
Marla gasped and well as Lia. Mei didn't hear them. All she could see was that one wand. As soon as she touched it, the glossy surface of the rowan wood shimmered. As she waved it in the air, a shower of colors drifted gently to the ground. Lia murmured, "It looks like the Northern Lights..."
Jolted out of their wonder, Marla asked, "Ollivander, how much is it?"
Ollivander looked at her, "Ten galleons."
Marla paid the price and left with Lia and Mei following her. Mei with her new wand in its case clutched protectively against her chest.
When they reached the Leaky Cauldron, Marla and Lia packed up and left. Marla having to because she had to go to work. And Lia having to because she was to be picked up by her mother tonight. After they left, Mei went to bed.
