"That day was amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes seeing all those different things. Wondrous shops and items. I almost felt like I was in a fairy tale. Yet, you, you seemed to almost feel like you had visited that same spot a thousand times before. I felt almost alone then, for you felt so distant, but that was only the beginning of it. Wasn't it?"
The next day, Calgory's and Henderson's set out together to London. It was odd, it seemed to be the first time the two families had ever went anywhere together in so long. The Henderson's were business people at heart, and never stayed long at home, having the Calgory's help take care of Angela while they were away. They followed the letter very carefully. Arriving at a place called Diagon Alley. Justin was overwhelmed with a sensation he never felt, seeing so many shops of such strange odd's and ends. Angela almost seemed to be like she was at home, very calm and almost peaceful.
Justin read his list, he needed to get a wand. Yet, where would he find such a strange item as that. He wondered the shops, until it caught his eye. There a group of children were standing in front of a broomstick with a light golden hue to it. He couldn't believe his eyes, a actual flying broomstick. He caught the name "Nimbus 2000". He knew that this whole new world he was being introduced to was amazing, but that site there made his heart fill up more than anything else that could have been shown to him.
He looked up at his father starting like a kid at Christmas. "Can we get it dad please?" he begged over and over. Mr. Calgory, looked at the item and back at Justin with a almost heart-filled apology. "Well, is it on your list of things you need?" he said almost knowing it wasn't. Justin sank into himself and read the list scanning it over and over hoping to find it. Sadly it was not. Justin stared back at his father and softly said "No".
Mr. Calgory put his hand on Justin's shoulder and slowly pushed off, nudging him to a small shop with a sign over head that said "Olivander's Wands". Justin looked at it curiously, and then turned to Angela who was coming out of a shop carrying a completely black covered owl. Justin stared at it and asked her if she was forced to take the last one. Angela looked at him and smiled "Nope, Darwin and I fell in love with each other the second we laid eyes on each other". She petted his feather coat, and Darwin howled as if agreeing. "What pet did you chose Justin?" asked Angela almost throwing it back in his face.
"I haven't chosen one yet" he said "But, I found us the wand shop, want to go in together" he asked excitingly. Angela smiled and grabbed Justin and almost dragged him before he could even wait for a reply. The inside of the shop was old and dusty to say the least. Boxes of paper and wands, were strewn all over the floor, as if a tornado had hit it earlier. Mr. Calgory called out hello to see if anyone was there. A older gentleman had appeared out of the back. "Ah, Welcome. Welcome" He said. "Don't mind the mess, had a run in with someone important earlier". Justin and Angela looked at each other and shrugged. "I am Mr. Olivander, and I will give you your wand". Justin noticed the man staring at him and proceeded to be approaching him. "Ah, yes, I know exactly what wand is yours Mr.?" he asked. "Calgory, Justin Calgory" Justin said proudly.
Mr. Olivander disappeared into the back, and emerged carrying a small lengthy box. He open it and slowly brought out a wooden wand. Justin was astounded at the look of it, he never truthfully thought, that all this was going to happen, just to get a wand. Mr. Olivnader placed the wand in his hands. "Give it a flick my boy" he said. Justin waved the wand once and with that a harmonic sound of light rang around him. He then reach around and grabbed a second box he had setting on the counter.
"And what about you Miss what is your name?" he asked "Angela Henderson" she said promptly. "Ah yes, I should have know that shouldn't have I" he pulled her wand out and gave it to her. He nodded for her to do the same as Justin. With that the same sound rang out. Justin spoke without thinking "All this for a wand?".
Mr. Olivander smiled and turned to the children." Wands are very special. As I say to all my customer's the wand chooses the wizard not the other way around. It's almost fate like or destiny for each wizard to receive the wand they are granted. Everyone wand is special. Take for instance your wand Justin. That wand is made out of a Willow. You were given the wand made from when the willow, was full of life and brilliance. While ironically, Angela's wand is made from the same willow, yet her wood is darker. For it was made when the willow had died. Ironic that two friends close as yourself are given such wands. Isn't it?" he said smartly and acted very intrigued.
Mr. Calgory said we should be going, we do not wish to waste anymore of your time Sir" he said as he pushed his family out the door". Mr. Olivander waved goodbye watching as the Justin and Angela left his shop. "Those two are going to be in more trouble than they think" he said to himself as he went to the back.
