A/N: I hope the next couple of chapters are hopefully remotely funny...I tried to make them funny. I have my fingers crossed! lol...The story gets serious a little later when they make it to Hogwarts, but for now, why not have fun? After all, they did just find out they were even more magic than they originally thought. Now they could actually do magic! Enjoy! =)
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or Harry Potter, but I own all the silly things the cullens and the pack get into! Muwahaha...
Chapter Five
We made our way down busy Diagon Alley, and went inside Ollivander's. All of them looked intrigued. "So many boxes…" Seth said airily, looking around. Sam and Emily were the first ones to walk up to the counter, while my family and I stood off to the side. Embry saw the bell and his eyes lit up at the opportunity, he slammed his hand down on it numerous times. Jared hit him on the back of the head with a loud thump. "Ow! What was that for?" He said, rubbing the spot dramatically.
Suddenly Ollivander slid into view from the back on his ladder. He wore a bright grin. "I wondered if I'd ever see the Cullens again." I gave him a warm smile. "Ollivander. It's been too long." For the first time, he looked over our entire group. "Merlin's beard!" He was speechless. He climbed down and took a box out that was directly in front of him. He then took his place behind the counter.
"And what is your name, dear?" Emily looked a big nervous, and nearly squeaked her reply. "Emily Young." "Emily Young…I believe this may be the one for you." He said with a smile. He pulled the wand out of the box and handed it to her. She took it with a shaky hand, and then looked back to him.
"Well go on…give it a wave!" She waved it, and the large book stack on his counter began to levitate slowly. "Wonderful!" She nodded happily as the book slowly lowered back down. "And your name?" He looked to Sam. "Sam Uley." He said in a confident and authoritative voice. "Ah…Mr. Uley." Ollivander walked towards the back of his shop and climbed his ladder. He reached for a box from the top shelves, and then came back to us. "I believe this may be the perfect wand for you, sir." He gave it to Sam, and he gave it wave. A flower pot shattered, papers flew everywhere, and boxes flew out of their places on the hundreds of shelves.
"No, nope, definitely not." Ollivander exclaimed. Sam put the wand back down on the counter, horrified. Nearly everyone was laughing hysterically. "Shut up! It's not funny." He said, angry. His fists were clenched tightly and his lips formed a tight line. "Yes it is!" Emmett was clutching his sides as his roaring laughing rumbled through the shop, if he could cry he would've been. "It most definitely is!"
"Emmett you're one to talk," Alice smirked at him. "When you were trying out your first wand, you made the clock explode and turned your hair pink." He stiffened as everyone laughed at his expense now. "Pink, Em? Honestly, pink? Couldn't you have turned it something a bit more manly?" Jake said, and the boys were laughing even harder than they were before. Rachel rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up, Jake. Your baby blanket that you still keep with you is pink." He straightened too. "It's not my fault they were expecting another girl." He said defensively.
By now Ollivander had returned with a different wand, and Sam took it reluctantly. He gave it a wave, and it emitted brown sparks the tip. He started grinning. "This is it." He said. Ollivander smiled and nodded. "Though it is quite curious…" Ollivander trailed off, and Sam looked to him intently. "What's curious?" Ollivander slowly leaned in to Sam.
"I must inform you Mr. Uley…this is no ordinary wand. Not ordinary…at all. For you see, this wand's core was made from something not many wands are made from. There are not many who can make wands like this. I, for one, only created 10. And only 10. These special wands are made of blackthorn…and the hair, of a centaur. They are especially rare because creatures such as centaurs will not give their hair willingly, it's nearly impossible to get them to agree. But this centaur…a very dear friend of mine…agreed to give only ten. It's curious because I can guarantee…the remaining nine wands are meant for your brothers." All of us looked utterly astounded. What could that mean? What could that mean for the future? What does that mean for the wolf pack? The rest of the pack got their wands and sure enough, the wands that choose them were the brothers of the wand that chose Sam. It was baffling.
Kim's wand was made of holly wood and Rachel's of oak, and both of them had unicorn hairs at the cores like Emily. Claire's wand was unicorn hair also, and made from ash wood. Renesmee's wand was the most peculiar, even more peculiar than the wands of the boys. Her wand was made from a phoenix that only ever gave one feather, the very feather at the core of her wand. It was made from hawthorn, like Rosalie's, and when it chose her it emitted green sparks. Even Ollivander was bewildered by this. Bella's wand was made of a thestral hair and willow, which Ollivander said made for a very powerful and sturdy wand. Only bearers who have great inner strength and control are meant to wield these wands.
After everyone had their wands and paid for them, we continued on with the school shopping. It was a bit hard trying to contain and supervise such a large group, but we managed. Finally, it was time to set them free into the wild on their own.
"I will need you all to meet me back here at Flourish and Botts exactly at 6:00. Not 6:01, and not 6:00 and 30 seconds. Emmett." Emmett smirked impishly as Esme gave him a look. "Have fun."
Jacob's POV
Carlisle and Esme walked away hand in hand, and we all were trying to figure out what to do. We had a few hours to kill, and there was just so much stuff…we couldn't decide. I saw Alice's face go blank and her blink a few times, and then she came out of her vision grinning like an idiot.
"OH! SHOPPING!" She grabbed the hand of every girl in our group and tugged them in the opposite direction. "Shopping? Shopping where?" Jared protested, but Kim was long gone. I put my hand on his shoulder. "Dude, it's best to just let it go. You really don't want to go head to head with Alice." I looked past him, and something caught my eye. "Hey! Let's go there!" I pulled all the guys into the busy shop, and immediately all the animals in the shop started going crazy. I read the sign on the shop door. "Magical Menagerie." I read it out loud.
"Uh…Jacob…" Jasper said calmly, though I could feel his uneasiness through his gift. "Maybe we should choose a different store." He was eying a cat that was hissing at him viciously. "Why?"
"Jake, think about it. Prey…" Quil pointed to all the animals in the store. "Predators." He pointed to all of us. I scoffed. "Don't be silly Quil…besides; our letters said we needed one anyways." I started to walk towards the center of the store and saw the most disturbing sight ever.
Paul was petting a snow white rabbit, grinning like a big idiot. "I think it likes me!" He exclaimed, and we heard a poof. Suddenly he wasn't petting a rabbit, but a silk black top hat. "THAT WAS SO FREAKING COOL!" He yelled, startling everyone near him. I rolled my eyes and walked away.
Most of us were over by the owls, deciding which one to get. There were a few types—barn, tawny, screech, and snowy. Almost all of them were screeching at us, which really wasn't helping us decide which ones to buy. "Ugh…that one doesn't seem so bad." Collin reached forward to pet a brown one, and it bit his finger. "Ouch! Stupid bird!" We laughed. "I actually…think I kind of like this one. I think Emily will like her, too." Sam was softly petting a white snow owl, and I was wondering how he got it to be so calm. It really must've liked him. "I chose mine, too. I think Alice will be happy with it. If she's not, she'll come running through the door to stop me." Japer sounded confident as he picked up a chocolate brown owl.
"We want these!" Collin and Brady exclaimed at the same time, choosing two barn owls that were bickering at each other through their cages. They must've been related, because they looked almost exactly the same.
"Rose will like this one! It screeches just like her." Emmett said picking up a screeching owl, and it was screeching in protest. "Bella will like this one…it's majestic." Edward picked up a small snowy owl, and it was hooting softly.
"I think he's right about the white ones," Jared said softly. "They're beautiful. And they kind of remind me angels. Kim will love it…she always said her mother was her guardian angel. We'll name her after her." He chose a happy snowy owl like Edward's, and followed the rest of them towards the counter.
I chose a pretty tawny owl, and decided to name him Edward. I thought Nessie would get a kick out of her pet owl being named after her dad. "That's not funny, Jacob." Edward growled from somewhere in the shop, and I laughed. Yep, Edward was definitely a keeper. Then my thoughts wondered towards Nessie, as if they didn't already do that 24-7. I wonder how the shopping is going…she never turns down her aunt Alice. For some reason, Nessie loves shopping. I have no idea where she gets it from, because Bella used to hate shopping. That's why I believe Edward might've been a closet shopaholic when they met.
"I'm serious Jake! I swear to god, I'll bite you if you don't knock it off." I laughed, and pulled out my little handy lighter. "Anytime, Eddie. Anytime."
As if they were able to read minds, some of the girls entered the shop and Nessie ran over to me. I showed her the owl I chose and she cheered happily. I told her his name, and she laughed. Just like I thought she would. We went to join everybody else at the counter, and I heard Quil and Claire arguing.
"Claire! We can NOT get a freaking cat! What are you THINKING?!?" She ignored him and continued to pet the midnight black cat in her arms. "Aw come on, Quil. It's so cute! It's perfect! And see? It already loves you…I shall call him…Quil!"
She tried to get Quil to hold it but he backed away bumping into Embry and his rat, and the cat hissed in protest. "Claire! Just think about this for a second!" She rolled her eyes. "What is the big deal?" "It's a CAT! I'm a WEREWOLF!" He exclaimed. She just ignored it. "Oh, you are not using that one again. You know what, Quil? We're getting this cat, so you better get used to it! I don't know how, but you two better draw up a treaty and make friends or else this school year is going to be long and hard for the both of you."
We all laughed at just how stern Claire could be, sometimes she reminded us of a mother rather than just a 12 year old. The pained expression on Quil's face was hilarious, he looked so defeated. There was nothing he could do about it now. Claire had made up her mind, and he couldn't argue with her. Whatever our imprints wanted, they got, no questions asked. It's impossible to say no to them.
I heard a croak behind us in line, and I turned around. Paul was holding a huge toad in his hands, still grinning like an idiot, and Rachel stood there mad with her arms crossed. I raised my eyebrow at her for an explanation. "He used to have a frog when he was little…I couldn't talk him out of it." She rolled her eyes again when he nodded his head like a little kid. And then I thought I noticed three guys waiting by the door looking a little nervous about something. I just shook my head and turned back forward.
"So how did shopping with Alice go?" I asked Nessie, and she picked up something called a chocolate frog as we passed it. "It was alright…the same as usual…although I think she may have found new shopping buddies in Rachel, Emily, Claire, Leah and Kim. Claire and I picked out something, no biggie."
Okay, now you definitely have more than enough to comment on. Please review! What did you like? What didn't you like? Why does Paul have a toad? QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED!!! LOL
