"Come on girls we'll go to Olivanders first," Lupin said leading them to a shop that looked dark and dusty. As they entered a bell rang and they heard something sliding towards them. A ladder appeared with a man on. He had dark brown hair and a friendly face, he smiled.
"Ah professor, come to get Ali and Kel wands," The man said climbing down the ladders smiling.
"I haven't been your professor for 16 years Dean," Lupin replied as Dean picked boxes of the shelves, "How's Olivander, he getting any better?"
"He comes and goes, I try not to exhaust him but I need to know his secrets on making wands so I can do more than just sell them for him," Dean replied, "I have made a couple but they aren't as good, one broke when someone was trying it and the other just doesn't do anything,"
"Don't worry you'll get the hand of it," Tonks said kindly, "Anyway wands,"
"Yes. Here try this one. Eight and a half inch, yew, with unicorn hair." Dean handed Ali the wand, "And for you Kel, this one nine inches, willow, phoenix tail feather." the girls waved the wands in unison and a row of wands fell out.
"Oops," The girls said in unison putting the wands down simultaneously.
"Don't worry happens all the time when wizards and witches come for their first wands," Dean said selecting two more wands from the shelves, "Here try these, ten and a half inches, ebony, dragon heartstring and ten inches, oak, also with dragon heartstring?"
The girls again waved the wands and yet more boxes fell. The same happened for the next few wands. Dean was looking thoughtfully at two boxes on a shelf. Making up his mind he pulled them out and brought them to the counter.
"These are one of a kind, well two of a kind. As far as I know no one else has even dared try to get the core for these wands let alone make wands out of them. These twin wands are both made out of the same silver birch, one being nine inches long the other nine and a half. You see as Olivander would say these wands are very curious. And I apologise before I tell you what's in them but I believe that they are perfect, given the girls… Parentage."
"Spit it out already Dean," Tonks said as the girls looked sceptically at there parents, they wondered what he meant.
"You see the core of these wands is made out of hair from a fully transformed adult werewolf, without the wolfsbane potion I might add." Dean finished as though he had not been interrupted.
"What! Are you crazy! Who'd get that close to a werewolf and live to tell the tale!" Lupin asked loudly, he was clearly shocked though he didn't seem to care that his daughters were being handed wands that held hair from the thing he most hated.
"Olivander has, what do you think drove him crazy? He was to good a wizard to let the crucius curse get him, and apparently he was too valuable for that. No instead they scared him by apparating him into the room were Greyback went during the full moon. Then let him get close before apparating out. Not really in any trouble but it scared the life out of him…" Dean broke off. Lupin was livid with rage. Tonks and the twins looked on in horror.
"And then there was one time well they let Malfloy, junior that is, take him only it scared Malfloy as much as Olivander and Greyback nearly got them before Malfloy got them out, but not before Olivander had grabbed some hair…" Dean finished looking sadly at the wands in his hands, "They were the first wands he made when he got out of Mungo's. And last."
"Poor Olivander, I never knew, I mean it's scary enough when I know Remus is down in that horrible basement like that, but to be apparated in…" Tonks too broke off and there was a minute's silence.
"Anyway, we have to get going and we still haven't found you two wands," Remus said after he calmed himself. The two girls took the wands of Dean looked at them once then swapped them with each other. Wind rushed through and a faint aura of magic surrounded the twins. They smiled.
"Excellent," Dean said smiling with the girls and Tonks joined in. Lupin just looked thoughtful. Not that anyone could blame him. Greyback had been the one who had bitten him and so cursed both him and his daughters. He was not pleased that they held his legacy in their hands. But nevertheless as Olivander used to say, the wand chooses the witch not the witch the wand.
They paid and left the shop, but soon came to a halt outside. A crowd of angry people had gathered.
"Werewolf! What are you doing here? You aren't welcome here!" They shouted. Lupin scowled. It didn't look good.
