Minerva shifted excitedly from foot to foot. How she had yearned for this very day! Nervously, she watched the little man surveying one slim box after the other and putting them all back onto the shelves. Then, finally, he brought one of the boxes over.
„Here we are, Miss McGonagall. Try this one!"
Awestruck, she closed her fingers around the slim piece of wood. Sudden warmth was flowing through her and a pulsing like a large wave, and she felt a little as if she was flying. The wood in her hand seemed to become one with her skin.
Mr. Ollivander was pleased. „Cherry-wood with a core of cat's whiskers. Perfect."

A/N: Of course, cat's whiskers do have magical properties. Pity this lore has somehow fallen into oblivion...
