"Nope definitely not," Garrick pauses for a moment, he's already gone through three wands with the lad. He looks at Kagome and motions her over.
"Kagome, why don't you see if you can find the right wand for Mr. Hornsby?"
"Me?" Kagome says motioning to herself.
"Yes, My Dear, you are an Ollivander, as you said before, it's in your blood."
"Okay,"
Kagome walks over and stands in front of the little boy, she kneels down in front of him and gives him a smile. The little boy blushes and smiles back.
"What's your name, Mr. Hornsby?"
"Kevin, Miss. Ollivander."
And do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Yes, two brothers and two sisters."
Kagome nods, her head. "And are you a Muggleborn?"
Kevin's eyes widen, "Yes, I'm the first wizard in the family."
"Congratulations, your parents must be very proud, Kagome tells him in an excited tone.
"Oh they are, they couldn't believe it when Professor McGonagall came to our house with the acceptance letter from Hogwarts."
"I'll be going to Hogwarts this year too, maybe I'll see you around?" Kagome tells him.
"I hope so, Miss Ollivander., Kevins says with a sigh smile.
"Call me Kagome, Kevin. Now let's get you that wand."
Kagome stands up and walks into the back room, she looks at all the boxes that are on the shelves. Closing her eyes, Kagome holds her hand out and runs it along the boxes. She walks slowly through the back until she stops in front of a box. Pulling out the box, Kagome looks at it and nods.
"This is the one."
Kagome goes back to the front and places the box on the desk, opening the box she takes out the wand and hands it to Kevin.
"Black Walnut, Unicorn tail hair, 11 inches. Try this one, Kevin."
The minute Kevin takes the wand, his feels a warming sensation and red and gold sparks fly out of the wand. The little wizard smiles and hugs Kagome.
"Thank you Kagome, it's perfect."
"No need to thank me, Kevin, as my grandfather says, the wand chooses the wizard. I'm just glad I could help."
Kevin's parents smile and pay Mr. Ollivander, but as they leave the store Kagome runs off after them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby?"
"Yes, Miss Ollivander?"
I just wanted to ask you something, have you finished getting Kevin his books?"
"Not yet, he wanted to get his wand first, why?"
"I just wanted to suggest that you get Kevin a book on the rules and etiquette of the Wizarding World, so that when he starts school, he'll know what to expect, and he won't come into this world blind."
The parents look at each other, and looks down at Kevin, "Thank you, Miss Ollivander, we will definitely get him that book and make sure he studies it before school starts. Just out of curiosity why are you suggesting it?"
"Oh, you see I studied mostly in Japan, and this will be my first time in the British Wizarding World. Japan and Britain are quite different so I got the book for myself, and I thought since Kevin is a Muggleborn he could use the help."
"Thank you again, Miss Ollivander for the suggestion," Mr. Hornsby says.
"You're quite welcome and please call me Kagome." And with that Kagome went back to the shop.
When Kagome returned to the shop, her grandparents gave her a questioning look, she explained what she did and they nodded approvingly.
"That was very kind of you, Kagome, and a very good idea. Perhaps we should suggest to Albus that all Muggle-borns get that book and others similar their first year as apart of their course requirement?"
"That's a good idea, Grandpa."
"And might I add that you did a fine job picking out Mr. Hornsby's wand, on your first try at that. I'm very proud of you."
"Thank you, grandpa," Kagome says with a blush.
"Now what news do you have for me?"
Kagome and Cecilia launched into telling Garrick everything that happened with Albus and that the Goblins did indeed confirm that Sirius Black is Kagome's father. They also told him that Albus was going to inform Sirius about Kagome.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it takes him a while to get used to the idea that he has a daughter. So, in all honesty, I don't expect to meet him anytime soon, this is going to be quite a shock to him."
"Yes it will, but I'm sure he'll get used to the idea faster than you think," Cecilia tells Kagome, "Well, now that, that is all settled, I think we should go shopping for Kagome's supplies.
Cecilia and Kagome say goodbye to Garrick just as another customer comes into the store, Once outside the two women look at the supply list for 7th-year students

I just need to replenish some of my supplies, and definitely need to get some robes and books, these are quite different from Mahoutokoro," Kagome informs her grandmother.
"Alright then the first place we shall go in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, we'll get your school robes and some robes for everyday use," Cecilia says.
They stop by Madam Malkin's where Kagome is fitted for her school robes. Kagome asks about the house colors, Madam Malkin explains that once she's sorted the ties and robes will magically change color.
Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to get her school books and the books for 6th year so she could study for her NEWTS. They went to the apothecary to replenish Kagome's potions supplies, Once they were finished with their shopping, they went to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour to relax.
Meanwhile, an owl had arrived in the headmaster office form Cecilia Ollivander. Albus took the letter and opened it. What he read did not surprise him in the least bit after getting a look at Kagome. She was Sirius' daughter. The old man smiled when he thought of Sirius' reaction. He was positive that Sirius would be thrilled and terrified at the same time. Albus remembered seeing how in love Grace and Sirius was and he always thought that they would marry after Hogwarts. But when Grace left, Sirius changed, he became a womanizer, a smoker and a drinker. It was obvious only to his closest friends and to Albus that this was the only way Sirius was able to deal with losing Grace. It was going to kill him to find out she died in childbirth.
With a sigh, Albus got up from his chair and walked over to the fireplace, might as well get this over with. He took a handful of floo powder and threw it into the fire, the fire turned green and Albus called out, "Number 12 Grimmauld Place, London."
With that, Albus steps into the flames and comes out in the living room and Grimmauld Place. He makes his way through the house searching for Sirius. Albus finds Sirius and Remus sitting in the kitchen having tea, walking in, Albus greets the two men.
"Albus, to what do we owe this visit? Remus asks.
"I'm afraid this is not a social call, Remus, I'm actually here to talk to Sirius about something very important."
Sirius sits up and looks at Albus, "What is it, has something happened to Harry?"
"Harry is fine, he should be coming to stay with you closer to the end of the month along with the Weasley and Miss Granger. No, what I want to talk to you about is something a bit on the sensitive side. Sirius, do you remember Grace Ollivander?"
At the mention of Grace's name Sirius' heart clenches, his hand unconsciously moves to his heart and being to rub it, trying to stop the pain. Remus puts his hand on Sirius' shoulder, he knows that Sirius never got over Grace, even after all these years and all the women Sirius had been with. No one could take Grace's place in his heart.
Sirius closes his eyes for a moment, then opens them, "Yes, I remember her why, have you gotten word from her?"
"Not exactly."
"Then why are you bringing her up, Albus?"
I have recently come into some information as to what happened to Grace, and I feel it is necessary that you know, Sirius."
"What kind of information," Sirius asks.
"Why she felt the need to leave Hogwarts her fifth year."
"Get to the point, Albus, why did she leave and where is she," Sirius asks, getting frustrated.
"You may want to sit down for this, My Boy."
"I'm fine, Albus, just tell me."
"Alright, but first let me ask you, were you truly in love with Grace?"
Sirius runs his hand through his long black hair in frustration, "Yes, I loved Grace very much, I wanted her to be my wife until she abandoned me and ran away with who knows who?"
"Well, she did run away with someone, but not in the manner in which you are thinking."
Anger started to fill Sirius, he wanted to know who had stolen Grace from him, and he wanted to know now, "Who did she run away with? Damn it, Albus tell me!"
"She ran away with your child," Albus said calmly.
I KILL HIM! Wait what did you say?"
"When Grace ran away she was pregnant with your child," Albus tells him.
Sirius plops down in the chair and stares at the headmaster.
"Are you serious?"
"No, you are," Albus says with a twinkle in his eyes.
Sirius looks at Albus surprised, and laughs, "You know what I mean, Albus, is that true?"
"Yes it is, Sirius, you have a daughter."
"I-I have a daughter? But I don't understand why would Grace leave?"
"She was afraid, afraid you would reject her, afraid her parents would disown her. So she fled to Japan."
"She always did want to go to Japan," Remus comments.
"Yes, she did. I can't believe it, I thought she knew me better than that, I would have never rejected my own child."
"Could you say the same about your family, Sirius? As I recall you were having a rough time of it with your own family at the time." Albus reminds him.
"That's true, Padfoot, you ended up moving in with James in 6th year because of all the fighting," Remus says.
Suddenly Sirius stands up, "I want to talk to Grace, she owes me an explanation."
Albus sighs and shakes his head, "I'm afraid that's quite impossible, Sirius."
"Why she doesn't want to see me, eh? Doesn't want me to ruin her perfect life?" Sirius asks angrily.
"No, Sirius, that isn't the case at all, unfortunately, Grace passed away in childbirth."
Sirius' eyes widen, pain grips his heart and his stumbles into the wall. He slowly begins to slump towards the floor as tears fill his eyes. Remus rushes to Sirius' side and helps him into the chair again. He hugs Sirius, while Sirius cries out his pain.
Remus looks over at Albus, "Are you sure, she passed away?"
"I'm positive, Remus, Kagome told me herself."
Kagome, who's Kagome," Remus asks.
"Kagome is Sirius' daughter."
Sirius sniffles, and looks up, "My daughter, you met my daughter? When, where?"
"Just today, she and her grandmother came to see me about her enrolling in Hogwarts for her final year. Garrick had come by a few weeks earlier and told me her entire story, so I was only waiting for her to make her decision on whether or not she wanted to attend.
"A few weeks, she been here for a while and she didn't come looking for me?" Sirius said disappointedly.
"She didn't know who you were, Sirius, according to what Garrick told me, her adoptive mother only knew of you by Padfoot. Grace never told anyone your real name, she said it was too painful for her to say it."
"So, my daughter is here and is living with her grandparents and will be attending Hogwarts in the fall?"
"Yes, she also wants to meet you, My Boy," Albus says with a smile.
"She does, she isn't mad because I wasn't in her life?"
"No, she isn't angry with you, she knows you didn't even know she existed," Albus then pulls the envelope out of his robes, "She wasn't sure you would believe her, so she got a heredity test done today to prove it to you. There is also a revised copy of her magical birth certificate."
Sirius grabs the letter from Albus and tears it open. He has no doubts that he is the father of Grace's child. They were each other first, and they were in a committed relationship. He reads the heredity test and sees that his name is next to Grace's and that underneath Kagome's name is listed. Then he looks at the birth certificate, where it says father his name is listed. Sirius sways a little in his seat and drops the papers, Remus steadies him then picks up the papers. He reads the papers and smiles at Sirius.
"Congratulations, mate."
"Thank you, Moony, even though I'm a little shocked right now."
"Kagome thought you would be, so, she wanted me to tell you to take your time. That if and when you wanted to meet her, she would be there." Albus informs Sirius.
Sirius gives Albus an odd look, "What does she mean 'if' I want to meet her, of course, I want to meet her, she's my child. Though she is right, I may need a little time to get used to the idea."
"As she said, Sirius, take your time, she'll be at Hogwarts when you're ready. Now I really must be going, there are still many things to do before the term starts, I hope to hear from you soon, Sirius. Ah, that reminds me, Garrick wanted me to let you know that now that you are family, Sirius, he wants to provide you with a new wand, he'll come himself to give it to you if you like," Albus informs Sirius.
Sirius was speechless for a moment, "Yes, Albus, I would love to get a new wand from him. Tell him whenever he want to come over he's welcomed."
And with that, Albus floo'd back to Hogwarts. Sirius turns to Remus and let's out a hollar, "I have a daughter! I can't wait to meet her, Moony!"
Remus smiles at Sirius, this is the first time he has seen Sirius truly happy since Grace disappeared.
