A/N: Sorry people for taking so long, but like I said last chapter I lost my fanfiction thumb drive, plus I am not a very fast type/writer.

Chapter 7: Wands
Last Chapter…
"- Just Ollivanders left now- only placed fer wands, Ollivanders, and yeh gotta have the best wand.
Both Harry and Naruko could barely contain their excitement at the thought of their own wand.
A/N: Again sorry this is short; I'll try to get the next chapter up before school starts.
Ollivanders was narrow and shabby. Peeling gold letters over the door read, Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.
There was a single wand on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. A bell went off as they walked into the building. The shop was very tiny and was bare except for one chair. Harry was tense and had his neck hairs standing up. Naruko been chased into creepier places in Konoha by mobs.
"Good afternoon," said a soft voice. Everyone in the room jumped. There was an old man standing before them, his pale wide eyes shining like moons.
"Hello." (Harry)
"Hi." (Naruko)
They both said awkwardly.
"Ah yes," the man said. "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon, Miss Uzumaki." That was a full out statement how he said it, no question. "You look just like your mother, except the eyes. It seems it was only it was only yesterday she was in here buying her first wand. Yellow flashing fly's wings, eight and a half inches willow tree. Very flexible, great for defense and transfiguration."
Ollivander's eyes then landed on Harry. "I've been expected you too Mr. Potter. It also seems as though yesterday your mother was in her buying her wand. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wand for charm work."
He moved closer to Harry.
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wand. Eleven inches. Pliable. A little more power and excellent for transfiguration.*****
Mr. Ollivander had come so close that he and Harry were almost nose to nose.
"And that's where…"
Olivander touched the lightning scar with his long white finger. "I'm sorry to say I sold the wand that did it," he said softly. "Thirteen-and-a-half inches. Yew Powerful wand, very powerful, and in the wrong hands… well, if I'd known what that wand was going out into the world to do…"
Harry was relieved when Ollivander spotted Hagrid.
"Rubeus! Rubeus Hagrid. How nice to see you again…. Oak, sixteen inches, rather bendy wasn't it?"
"It was, sir, yes," said Hagrid
"Good was, that one. But I suppose they snapped it in half when you got expelled?" he said suddenly stern.
"Er- yes, they did, yes," Hagrid said shuffling his feet. "I've still got the pieces, though," he added brightly.
"But you don't use them?" Mr. Ollivander said sharply.
"Oh, no, sir," Hagrid said quickly gripping his umbrella tightly as he spoke. Both Harry and Naruko noticed the action.
"Hmmm," said Ollivander giving Hagrid a piercing look.
"Well now ladies first, Miss Uzumaki, let me see." He pulled a long tape measure with silver markings out of his pocket. "Which is your wand arm?"
"Well, um, right I guess."
"Hold out your arm. Yeah just like that." He measured Naruko from the shoulder to finger, wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, he even got her whisker marks.
As he was measuring he said, "Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, Miss Uzumaki, Mr. Potter. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, heartstrings of dragons, and such. No two magical creatures are quite the same. And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard's wand."
Naruko realized the tape measure was measuring on its own. Mr. Ollivander was flinting around the shelves, taking down boxes.
"That will do." Ollivander said and the tape measure fell to the ground.
"Miss Uzumaki, try this one. Yew and unicorn hair. Eight and three-quarter inches. Excellent for charm work. Take it and give it a wave."
Naruko gave the wand a hesitant short wave. As soon as she waved it the vase broke. "Sorry," Naruko said meekly as she put the wand on the counter.
He waved her off and repaired the vase with his own wand.
Ollivander went back and brought another box. "Try this on. Oak and dragon's heartstring. Nine and a half inches."
Waving it a storm cloud appeared in the shop and started raining.
"Definitely not," taking the wand back and made the cloud disappear and dried everyone off. Then he looked as if he had an idea. "I wonder."
Ollivander went so far back in the shop they couldn't see him. When he came back he had a box with inches of dust covering it.
Opening it carefully he said, "Hair of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Redwood, nine inches. Incredibly powerful and well rounded."
When Naruko grasped the wand, it felt as though it was a part of her. A warm sensation filled her body and the entire shop.
Both Hagrid and Ollivander were clapping at the success.
"Bravo! Bravo!S imply fantastic! But interesting, very interesting." Ollivander said.
Looking up from the wand, Naruko asked, "Why?"
"Well," he started, "I've had that wand since 380 B.C. and no wizard ever seemed to be able to wield it. I believe we can expect great things from you Miss Uzumaki."
Naruko looked down at the wand thinking to herself, "Why am I linked to the Kyuubi?"Thinking about all the times she had been called the beast itself by Kohona villagers. (Remember she doesn't know about it yet.) She handed the wand back to Ollivander still thinking about the wand's core.
As if feeling Nauko's distress, Naien rubbed himself against her leg comfortingly. Naruko picked him up and started to pet the adorable creature.
"Now Mr. Potter," Mr. Ollivander said, "Which is your wand arm?"
"Er- well, I'm right handed."
Then the tape measure measured Harry like it did for Naruko.
"That will do." He told the tape measure again and it crumpled to the ground again.
"Right then, Mr. Potter. Try this one. Beech-wood and dragon heartstrings. Nine inches. Nice and flexible just take it and give it a wave."
He did as told just to have the wand snatched from him.
He tried several different wands until Ollivander said, "Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here somewhere- I wonder, now- yes, why not- unusual combination- holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple."
Harry took the wand there was a sudden warmth in Harry's fingers. He raised the wand above his head, brought it swishing down through the air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot out of the end like fireworks.
Naien jumped down from Naruko's arm and got into a protective state around Naruko. She managed to calm him out of the protective state and back to being petted in her arms, but this time she smiled a congratulations to Harry.
Hagrid whooped and clapped and Ollivander cried, "Oh, bravo! Yes, indeed, oh, very good! Well, well, well… how curious…"
Naruko stared at Ollivander as Harry voiced her questioned that was lingering in her mind. "Sorry," he said, "but what's curious?"
Mr. Ollivander fixed Harry with his pale stare. "I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every single wand. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather- just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother- why, its brother gave you that scar."
Harry swallowed and Naruko looked at him with worry hoping he is taking the news alright.
"Yes, thirteen-and-a-half inches. Yew. Curious indeed how these things happen. The wand chooses the wizard remember… I think we must expect great things form you, Mr. Potter…. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things- terrible, yes, but great."
Both Harry and Naruko let out a shiver and they each gave Mr. Ollivander seven gold galleons as payment for their wands. Then Mr. Ollivander bowed them from his shop.
A/N: Yeah Yeah. I know it's short but hey alots been going on here. Naien wasn't that big in this chapter, but I'll try to put him in more the next one.
