"Here Mr. Weasley. Try this one so that I may get to these two lovely young ladies." Mr. Ollivander handed Ron yet another wand with a look of exasperation on his face. This time the wand agreed with Ron and Mr. Ollivander moved on to Mika.
"Mika, what happened to your other wand?"
"I had a run in with Malfoy on the Hogwarts Express going home and I broke it half on his head," Mika explained with a hint of bitterness in her voice. "I really liked that wand too. Damn you Malfoy!"
"You really hate him don't you?" Marionie said as Mika was handed a wand and a few boxes left on the shelves flew towards her
"Hmmmph! That prat's spent two good years of my life making me miserable." The bitterness was now apparent in MIka's voice.
"Well, the way he acted around you was rude. If he is going to be like that I'm not sure I want to get to know him." Marionie picked up the open box that had hit the side of her chair and placed it on the shelf behind her looking back at Mika.
"I'm warning you, that act he's putting on, it's only because he thinks you'll be a Slytherin," Mika pointed out as she handed back the wand to Mr. Ollivander, realizing it wasn't the one.
Marionie looked at the ground, "I hate it when people do that. At Westminster I was in Fuenuit. That was the best house. It's almost exactly like Gryffindor." She sighed looking back up. "You're probably right. I'll be in Gryffindor and he'll never speak to me again!"
Mika took another wand from Mr. Ollivander and held it in her hand. It started to glow yellow, her favorite color and it shot red sparks out of it.
"I guess that's the one, Miss Avalon," Mr. Ollivander said, '9 inches, oak, dragon scale."
Mika smiled and exclaimed, "Thank you!"
"Well Miss Hearts, it's your turn." Mr. Ollivander looked in her direction. "I think I have the perfect wand for you." He walked back to a shelf in the back of the wand shop and came out holding three boxes. "Here try this one."
"Excuse me?" Marionie stood up looking at Mr. Ollivander before realizing what he was saying. "Oh, alright." She walked forward taking the wand which flew out of her hand barely missing Mr. Ollivander's head.
"Definately not that one." Mr. Ollivander took it back handing Marionie another one which did not agree with Marionie's touch either. "Alright, this is the last one."
Marionie gripped the wand watching as it grew bright blue and warmed in her hand causing the hair on her arm to stand strait up. "This wand feels different from the others."
Mika watched as her newest friend got her wand. She was glad she had a new friend, even though she was related to a Malfoy.
Mr. Ollivander smiled and leaned forward. "Do you know who you are related to Miss Hearts?"
Mika replied sharply, "Yes, she's related to Draco Malfoy." The black-haired girl rolled her eyes and looked down at her feet.
Mr. Ollivander looked back at Mika as well as Marionie and replied. "Yes, yes. I feel that as well, but you are also related to Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. That is why you received this wand. 8 inches, Redwood, with a core of the blue prism of the rainbow and a silver unicorn hair."
Mika eyed the wand, awestruck. "That's an awesome looking wand..." she whispered.
Marionie blinked and looked at the wand then up at Mr. Ollivander. "Did... did you say Harry Potter?" She looked back at the wand then at Mika hearing her whisper. "It is an awesome wand." She looked back at Mr. Ollivander awestruck.
Mika sighed. She didn't want to alienate Marionie but she also had to help her face the truth about her Slytherin cousin. She decided that she would make an effort to be nice to Malfoy if it meant keeping Marionie's friendship, but if he stepped out of line, she would give him a piece of her mind. She also wanted to let her newest friend know she was on her side.
Marionie faced Mika turning pale "Mika, did he just say I was related to Harry Potter?"
Mika shook her head to snap out of her reverie and replied, "Yeah...Harry's a good guy, just a regular 'ol Joe...who happens to be The Boy Who Lived, but trust me, he's like a regular kid. No need to be all star struck."
"Mika, I'm not starstruck. I'm related to the two people in school who hate eachother more than anyone could dream of." Marionie stated as Mr. Ollivander handed her the wrapped wand and wished her luck and she started walking out of the shop.
Lucky you," Mika said sarcastically as she followed Marionie, then added with a hopeful voice, "Maybe Harry will finally kick Malfoy's ass?"
Marionie sighed as the door to Florish and Blotts burst open and Draco fell out of it catching himself. "Oh my gosh! That's Draco. What's going on?"
"Ron stop now before you get in trouble!" A straggled female voice cried anxiously from inside the shop.
Mika just laughed. Out of all the Hogwarts students she knew, only Ron Weasley could rival her fieriness and her hot temper.
"It's Malfoy getting what he deserves," she explained to Marionie between giggles.
Marionie looked over at Mika glaring a bit but before realizing it and walked over to the scene grasping Draco by the arm. "What in bloody hell did you do?" Marionie shouted, her French temper showing as her face glowed a soft pink color.
Mika stood by Marionie's side, having a smug little smile on her face. She shook her head and said, "I guess Ickle Ronniekins finally showed ya how to work a wand, huh?"
"Shut up Avalon and let go of my arm Marionie. It's none of your business what happened if your going to hang with this mudblood." Draco wrenched his arm from Marionie's grip.
"Draco, I'm not in the mood for you to call my friend that. Take it back or I'll... I'll..." Marionie looked at him as he scoffed. "Fine, then." Marionie clenched a fist and punched Draco in the face making him fall to the ground.
Mika was shocked. At first, she thought that Marionie was a sweet person, unable to get angry. She was worried that Malfoy would harm her because of that. Now that she saw she could take care of herself, the young Gryffindor student released a sigh of relief. She had more in common with Marionie and she knew that no Malfoy could come between them.
Marionie stepped back as Harry, Ron, and Hermione came running out and looked at Draco who was lying on the ground shocked. "Hey Mika, Ron's family is coming for a visit tomorrow. Do you want to join us?"
"Yeah, sure," Mika replied, still in a state of shock, "Actually, my dad asked Mrs. Weasley to take me with them because he was working."
She sighed then continued, "I'll go home tonight and ask."
Marionie smiled turning away from Draco as Crabb and Goyle came running out and over to Draco glaring at the group. "I hope my mum doesn't mind to much. I might get in some trouble because of that." She gestured to Draco.
"Wow." Harry said out loud. "I'm glad you're my cousin." Harry looked up wide eyed covering his mouth.
Mika said softly, "And I'm glad you're my friend."
"Harry, I already know and Mika, I'm glad your my friend too." Then she laughed and turned to look at Draco "EVEN IF YOU ARE MUGGLE BORN!" She said loudly looking at him as he stood up dusting off his robes.
"You just wait till I tell your mum Marionie." Draco said walking back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Scum," Mika muttered under her breath, and then said, "I'm gonna go grab my books quickly..." She ducked into the building.
Hermione looked at Mari and said, "Wow, you really gave it to him!"
Marionie picked the books up off the ground that Draco had bought for her then were scattered across the ground during the incident. "MARIONIE KATHRYN HEARTS." Marionie's mum's voice traveled sharply to her ears interrupting her before she could answer Hermione.
Hermione sighed and said, "Hate to leave you in the cold...but I'm gonna go in and check on Mika." She quickly went inside the bookstore.
Harry and Ron followed Hermione apparently not wanting to get in the way of the raving mother walking towards Marionie. "Oh, h-hello mum. Is something wrong?"
"Did you hit your cousin Marionie?" Celia Hearts stood staring at Marionie.
"Yes I did mum... but only because he did something to Ron and he was making fun of Mika!" Marionie said pleadingly to her mother.
Hermione rushed over to Mika and said, "I wouldn't go out there if I were you!"
"Why not?" Mika asked, "I'm nearly done!"
"Marionie's getting yelled at for hitting Malfoy," Ron explained.
"Oh no," Mika whispered, her face turning pale, "It's my fault!"
She rushed out of the bookstore with her books and stopped behind Marionie.
"Marionie, you know better! I don't understand why you did it!" Celia said still rather pink faced.
"HE WAS MAKING FUN OF MIKA!" Mari pointed to the bookshop noticing Mika was now standing behind her.
"It's all my fault!" she blurted out, "I provoked Draco! "Please, Mrs. Hearts, don't be angry at Marionie." Mika sighed as she made her plea. She realized that Ron, Harry and Hermione were behind her.
Celia's attention turned to Mika. "And who might you four be? You especially young lady." She stated directly to Mika.
Mika stepped forward, trembling and replied, "My name's Mika Avalon, ma'am."
"Ron Weasley," Ron said, slightly scared.
Harry added, "I'm Harry Potter."
"I'm Hermione Granger," Hermione chimed in, "We go to Hogwarts."
"I met Marionie at the airport earlier this summer and decided to introduce her to my friends," Mika explained, gesturing towards Hermione, Ron and Harry.
Celia sighed, "Well, you bunch seem like a good group. So I forgive you. Why don't you all join us tomorrow?"
"Oh, well my family was already invited, but I'd still love to!" Ron replied nudging Harry. "Harry's staying with us so I'm sure it will be no problem."
"Yea, well actually I'm staying at the Leaky Cauldron." Harry said looking at the ground.
"The Weasleys are supposed to take me home. My father asked them to take me along for school supplies shopping but I'm sure he wouldn't mind me coming along," Mika replied.
"I don't think it will be a problem with my parents either," Hermione commented.
"Alright then, we'll see you tomorrow. Come along Marionie!" Celia said walking back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"See you all tomorrow!" Marionie yelled as she ran after her mother waving with the new wand still glowing a pale blue color!
Mika watched as her new friend walked away. She sighed, knowing it would be an uphill battle from there. She walked along with Hermione, Ron and Harry, searching for the rest of the Weasleys. She had to head home and tell her father about her day.
