"Just yer wands left," Hagrid said then turned to harry. "an' I still haven't got yeh a birthday present" Claudia who still been looking a store window that was directly behind them whirled around suddenly.
"Wait it's your birthday?! Why didn't and no one told me?" She exclaimed. Harry looked at Hagrid.
She giggled as she saw Harry go red.
"You don't have to-"
"I know I don't have to. Tell yeh what, I'll get yer animal. Not a toad, toads went outta fashion years ago, yeh'd be laughed at-an' I don' like cats, they make me sneeze. I'll get yer an owl. All the kids want owls, they're dread useful, carry yer mail an' everythin'." Hagrid said to harry.
"And it's okay just ignore me I'll just go find a corner to go sit and cry in," Claudia said in a fake hurt voice. Harry started to say something, but Hagrid cut him off.
"Did yeh hear somethin' Harry?" He looked around Claudia. Harry started laughing while Claudia sighed.
"Haha, very funny let's just go get Harry his owl.." She then followed Hagrid and Harry once they started walking.
About twenty minutes later they had arrive at Eeylops Owl Emporium. Claudia decided to wait outside, seeing as she herself had no interest in buying an owl. She already was going to be communicating with the Hokage through Dumbledore or a summoning once she mastered one. She noticed Harry and Hagrid coming out of the store and joined back up with them.
"Don' mention it," Hagrid to Harry. "Don' expect you've had a lot of presents from them Dursleys. Just Ollivanders left now. Only place fer wands, Ollivanders, and yeh gotta have the best wand."
This was what Claudia had been dreading. She wasn't sure how she'd be able to use one, though she had read in the information that Dumbledore had given her that the owner of Ollivanders would be able to explain more about how she'd be able to use a wand. She had a theory that chakra and magic were related somehow, though she couldn't be sure till she had more information.
Finally after what seemed to be forever to Claudia they arrived at the shop. As they walked a bell rang throughout the shop. Hagrid sat in a chair, while Claudia and Harry just stood looking around the shop.
"Good afternoon." said someone in a soft voice.
Claudia noticed both Harry and Hagrid jump, Hagrid had swiftly gotten out of the chair making quite a noise. Claudia hadn't jumped due to her being used to people randomly popping out, due to her sensei.
An older man stood in front of them now which was obviously the person who had spoken.
"Hello." Harry said awkwardly.
"Hi," Claudia said in a somewhat cheerful tone.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter. You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wand. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work." The man Mr. Ollivander told Harry, he moved closer to him.
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration. Well, I say your father favored it.. It's really the wand that chooses the wizard, of course." They were now almost nose to nose.
Claudia was beginning to think Mr. Ollivander had only seen Harry.
"And that's where.." He touched Harry's scar, "I'm sorry to say I sold the wand that did it. Thirteen and a half inches. Yew. Powerful wand, very powerful, and in the wrong hands.. Well, if I'd know what that wand was going out into the world to do.." He shook his head.
Claudia took this as her chance to get him away from the anxious looking harry.
"Hey, I'm here for a wand too if you didn't notice me before." She exclaimed pointing to herself which was tad out of character for her to do.
" ]I'm Claudia Amell!" She then smiled her best attempt at a Naruto grin. Which was pretty good she thought.
Though Ollivander look at her, he then looked straight past her at Hagrid, then back at her again.
" Claudia Amell, I don't think I've one of you family here before." He said coming towards her now.
"Nope, I don't think anyone in my family is a witch or wizard. Though I'm pretty sure they could do some pretty cool stuff too," she said.
"Ah, so you come from non-magical family." Ollivander said.
"Yep oh yeah," she shuffled in one of her pockets and pulled out a note, it had been with the information about her fake family. She was supposed to give it to the wand maker. "Here, I'm supposed to give this to you." She said handing it to him.
He took it and read it carefully, for a moment she thought she saw a glimmer of shock in his eyes, or recognition.
"I see," He said folding the note and handing it back to her.
"I have a special wand for one such as you. I think, I remember meeting one like you once he needed a special wand like that too. I wonder if you knew him..." Mr. Ollivander said curiously.
"Umm... Most likely not, but if you are curious about this person I could ask a friend."
"No it's okay." He said. Then he saw Hagrid and went to talk to him, though Claudia didn't get to hear it due to Harry.
"What'd he mean by having a special wand for one such as you? If you don't mind me asking." Harry asked her curiously.
Claudia felt a slight panic rising inside her. Though she thanked her training for being able to act completely calm.
"I don't know I wasn't allowed to read the note... Umm… Maybe it's something different about.. My magical abilities," she managed to say in a confused and curious tone of voice.
"Oh okay.. Sorry if I sounded rude," Harry said sound genuinely sorry.
"Oh, it's okay, but you have to promise me to tell me about why everyone seems to know you later. Okay?" Claudia whispered cheerfully. Harry looked at her for a moment before nodding.
"Okay I will later," Harry said obviously a little more at ease, no longer afraid he might have hurt her feelings.
Suddenly Mr. Ollivander was in front of them again.
"So which one you is wanting to go first?" He asked.
Claudia immediately pointed to Harry.
"I can wait," She told him.
Mr. Ollivander nodded. And then after three tries with wands harry got one. Though Mr. Ollivander went on how curious it was that the wand's brother gave him his scar.
Harry swallowed at this and Claudia was sure Harry was nervous. Harry then paid for his wand, Claudia could tell he wanted to get out of the store. So she turned to Hagrid.
"You and Harry can wait outside for me if you want." She told him. To which Hagrid nodded.
"Come on Harry." He said and Harry followed him outside. Leaving Claudia and the shopkeeper Mr. Ollivander alone.
"Now I suppose I need to get you your wand." Mr. Ollivander said to her. To which she nodded.
"Yes though I am a tad curious as to how I am to use it," she said being able to finally have a few questions answered would be such a relief were where her thoughts were at.
"Hmm... Now I know a fair lot about you chakra networks work, being that chakra and magic are similar. Though Chakra is different as you know. You are able to use it by making uh-" He started. She cut him off by sighing and quickly performing the latest jutsu she had learned. She quickly performed the seal.
A shadow clone appeared next to her.
"I figure it'd be easier if I showed you rather than you explain," She then waved her shadow clone off. Her clone then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Leaving Ollivander in a little bit of awe.
"Yes that being how you perform your justu's. Magic is something a little like that but I guess isn't as prominent as chakra, since we have to use wands to expel or use it." He said.
"Wands are our conductors for magic. Though they do chooses the wizard remember." She nodded.
"Though it'll be a little different for me, am I right?" She asked.
"Yes, we'll have to use a special kind of wand for you, due to you chakra. I'll be right back. I only have a few of them and I like to keep them in the back." Mr. Ollivander told her before quickly disappearing into the back. He reappeared a few minutes later with a few boxes.
"Alright so each of these wands are infused with your special chakra and a few properties related to your different lands. So we'll start with.. Where are you from?" He asked her, while looking at the boxes.
"Konoha, in the Land of Fire." She stated.
"Also I don't know if I'm from any major clans I have a bit of bad memory or no memory in the department of who my family is." She told him this so he would know it would be no use in asking her about the clans.
"Hmm... Okay how bout you try this on, it 's made from a tree that I don't know the name of sadly but I was told that the trees produce genjustu like effect, eleven and half inches, it has chakra from a tailed beast infused into it as well, you may know more about that then I do. And dragons heartstring which is what ties it to magic. Uh, here give it a try," He explained and handed it to her.
She felt warmth in in her hand and did what Harry had getting the same effect as him and also she noticed something seemed different holding it.
"Well that was quick. I expected something more, I think," he said. She then bowed to him slightly.
"Thank you very much for your help Mr. Ollivander. I really need to be going now," She said after paying for the wand.
"No thank you for the demonstration it was quite interesting and good luck," He smiled at her.
She then quickly rushed out the store, to where Harry and Hagrid had been waiting which took her a moment to find.
"Hey what took so long?" Harry asked her. As they began walking back.
"He had a bit of trouble finding the right wand for me, but I got one see." She quickly showed it to Harry.
Harry noticed it was a reddish brown in color and had a smooth place to hold it but also had nine intricate swirls that looked almost like tails engraved onto it.
"Wow, that's pretty nice looking. Mine doesn't have any designs on it." Harry said.
"Oh," she said. But she was curious about the tailed beast she had heard or read something about it somewhere but she couldn't remember.
They walked to the leaky cauldron where Hagrid told Claudia to deposited her things in her room then they'd come back for them. Once she had done that they then left the leaky cauldron. And then they went to an underground train station, which Claudia had to pretend not to be slightly amazed at. It wasn't the first time she had seen a train but still.. And they did some walking too.
They finally arrived at Paddington station.
"Looks like we have time to grab a bite to eat before you train arrives." Hagrid said to Harry.
Hagrid bought them both Hamburgers to which Claudia eyed warily. Thinking of the only other time she had had one. She eyed it warily due to the last one being made by Isamu, and he has a special sauce that.. Well let's say it goes up next to the ramen incident.
"Are you okay Claudia? I think you're going green." Hagrid asked her.
"You haven't even trie-" Hagrid did not have time to finish his sentence, Claudia had handed it to him and then ran to the nearest restroom.
She came out about ten minutes later looking extremely pale, and tired. She gloomy looked at Harry who was getting ready to get on his train that had just pulled into the station. Harry saw her and smiled.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked beating Hagrid who looked as if he was about to ask her the same question. She looked at him and smiled slightly, while secretly plotting revenge on her sensei, who she blamed for getting sick.
Yeah much better now, but I really don't want to talk about it.." She trailed off.
"Oh well glad you feel better, looks like I gotta get going." He said smiling sadly. Apparently she had missed a conversation between him and Hagrid.
"Well I'll see you in month when school starts." She told him giving him a thumbs up in her best attempt to cheer him up.
Hagrid then handed him his ticket for the Hogwarts train.
"See you soon, Harry." He said, and then she was left alone with Hagrid and her stuff. She turned to him.
"So where will I be staying for the next month?" She asked him. Hagrid looked down at her.
"I believe Professor Dumbledore has a nice family in mind, but first we gotta talk to him He should be waiting for us at back at the Leaky Cauldron," Hagrid told her. She then sighed.
"Great now more walking.." She mumbled under her breath.
