I stand in shock at the word in front of me, trying to take everything in
"we will come back soon but we only have time to get one thing before we have to be back at school for dinner"
I nod and follow behind him until we reach a shop but before I could read the name Hagrid rushes me inside and in front of an old man. The place was full of little boxes and papers everywhere.
"Welcome to Ollivander's Amelia, this is where almost every Hogwarts student and more get there wands"
I nodded and stayed silent. I couldn't tell if I was just scared of having a panic attack but before I could figure that out, an old man seemingly named Ollivander popped up out of nowhere.
"Hagrid, how are you," the old man asks, totally not noticing that I'm standing here as well
"I'm great Mr. Olivander, just running an errand for dumbledore" hagrid gestures to me
"ah, he seems to be sending you on many of these errands" he turns to me looking into my eyes
"you must be Amelia, I'm Ollivander"
"Nice to meet you, sir," I say but it comes out more like a whisper
"Just like potter, she is," the old man says as he climbs up a ladder
Hagrid's face was redder than a tomato, and we both stayed silent
Mr. Olivander pulls out a long black and green box from the top shelf, almost like it was hidden up there
"Good thing Dumbledoor sent me an owl beforehand or else we would be here forever trying out wands'' Olivander opens the black box and removes a beautiful wooden black wand with a silver snake, green crystals, and an orange-brown crystal handle with symbols I didn't recognize engraved in it. He places the wand in my hand. and I just stand there running my eyes over this magnificent piece in my hand. This was probably the most expensive thing I have ever held. I panic and look up at Ollivander, hoping he is gonna tell me what to do. It's like they expect me to know everything when just this morning I was in my crappy school on one of the worst days, the first day back at school after winter break.
"Just give it a wave"
I twirl the wand a little and immediately felt a sudden warmth in my fingers. As the wand went in its little loop, a stream of Silver and Gold sparks shot from the end like a firework on the fourth of July. I was stunned. Was that what magic felt like, did I just do magic.
"I still tear up every time" hagrid laughs
"But Mr. Olivander," I ask, "how do we know this is the right wand for me? I only tried one and there are thousands more in this store.
"well Misses Collins, you see the wand chooses the Wizard" I nod.
"But I can't afford this sir, I have no money," I say, saying my goodbyes to the wand and placing it back into the box"
"don't worry about that young lady. It was already taken care of. Just promise me one thing"
"anything"
"Promise me that you will do great things as a wizard, after all that wand gives you a lot to live up too"
I nodded and grabbed the box and placed it securely in my backpack before we made our way back, leaving the magic and through the bar and back to the bike. Before we take off hagrid says
"and now back home, to Hogwarts" and takes off into the sky.
