Chapter 5 The Wands & Good-byes
The door closed soundlessly behind them as they walked in the door. It was
silent in the store.
"Hello?"Jarrik said into the silent area."Hello?"he said a little louder.
Out of nowhere, a ladder appeared. An elderly man was atop it.
"I wondered when I'd be seeing you, Mr. Potter. And hello young sir."he
said noticing Jarrik. Jarrik smiled.
"Oh I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Mr. Ollivander, the
wandmaker."he said in a hurry. "Let's see."he muttered to himself. He
pulled boxes off of the shelves at random. He made a little mound of boxes.
He handed one to Jarrik to make up for noticing him late. "Give it a
wave."he said rather impatiently. Jarrik had just raised his hand into the
air when the wand was snatched out of his hand. He was handed many more
wands until one made fireworks that were in the shape of the British flag.
"I found my wand!"he said excitedly. The type of wand it was: Cedar wood,
Unicorn hair, 10 3/4 inches.
"Mr. Potter, your turn."Mr. Ollivander said briskly.
Harry stepped forward. Ollivander handed him wands, just like he had to
Jarrik. Except, no wand would work for Harry. Ollivander got more and more
excited as more and more wands were piling up into an enormous mound.
Ollivander found a particularly long box on the shelf. He muttered,"I
wonder."before scurrying back over to Harry.
"Try this one."Ollivander ordered. Harry took it from his hand. He felt a
warmth in his fingers. He brought it swishing down from above his head.
Sparkles and confetti came out from the end of the wand.
"Oh, bravo! But how curious. Curious. Curious."he was muttering.
"I'm sorry, but what's curious?"asked Harry.
"It is curious that you should be destined for this wand, when it's
brother, gave you that scar. The wand chooses the wizard Mr. Potter. It's
not always clear why, but I think it is clear that we can expect great
things from you. Just like the wizard related to your wand. He did great
things, terrible, yes, but great."He handed Harry his new wand.
They paid for the wands and left the shop.
"I'm going to take you boys to the Daily prophet to put an ad in the paper.
Jarrik for the time being, you'll just live with me."Hagrid said to break
the silence.
"Ok. Oh Hagrid hand me some packages."Jarrik said noticing that Hagrid had
grabbed all the packages off the counter. Hagrid handed Harry and Jarrik's
packages back to them. He was only carrying Fawx, who at the moment was
snoring."After that, I'm going to get you guys lunch, and I'm going to go
back and get something here."he said leading the boys towards the building
named 'The Daily Prophet.'
"I'd like to put an adoption ad in the paper."Hagrid was telling the person
at the desk. The witch at the desk was the most beautiful Jarrik had ever
seen. She had chestnut colored hair with the same colored eyes. She has the
most beautiful smile, Jarrik thought in his head. Harry took him aside and
said,"Do you have a crush on her too?"
"Yeah. I completely was just staring at her."
"Yes, I noticed. I was too until I noticed you were also. Then I figured I
should ask you if you were doing the same thing as me."he said, in a
worried tone.
"Maybe we should go talk to her."said Jarrik.
"Brilliant idea. I can just imagine it: Hello miss. My friend and I have
the hots for you. Get real!"said Harry sarcastically.
"Shut up!"said Jarrik."It was only an idea. Well anyway, I'm going to talk
to her. Oh no. She's coming over here. Probably to say, 'Famous Harry
Potter?! What an honor!'
"Hello sirs."She said respectfully."I couldn't help but notice that you two
were staring at me and talking and looking at me. Are you two all right?"
"Um, yeah."Jarrik mumbled, blushing."I... just, er, like you."he said.
Harry's jaw dropped.
"Well, I kinda like you too. I'm Rebecka."she said, also blushing. She
turned to Harry and gasped."Harry Potter?! Welcome into the wizard world
again."
"Thank you. I've gotten a welcome back Mr. Potter and things like that but
nothing like this."he said. Jarrik could tell he wasn't in control anymore.
Harry grabbed her hand."You're so romantic,"he said staring into her eyes.
She sighed, annoyed and pulled away her hand.
"What do you say I see you at Hogwarts?"said Rebecka.
"You go to Hogwarts?"asked Jarrik surprised.
"Yes. I'm in my second year there. See you there?"she replied with a sweet
smile on her pretty face.
" You look like 16."he said amazed.
"Really? I didn't think so!"she replied happily.
"Yeah. Bye!"Jarrik said gently.
"See you there!"she said. She went back to her desk without another word.
"Are yeh ready ter go?"said a familiar voice.
Harry and Jarrik jumped. Jarrik whipped around. It was only Hagrid.
"Hagrid you scared us!"Jarrik said to Hagrid.
"Sorry. I put an ad in the paper and I was told that we have to get a room
at the Leaky Cauldron. So, I'm going to get you and me separate rooms.
Harry you're going back to the Dursleys."
"No! I hate them. Can't I get a room here?"
"No yeh can't. Dumbledore told me that you are going back to the Dursleys
until the beginning of the year."
"All right."Harry said resentfully.
The three of them walked back to the Leaky Cauldron and Hagrid got Jarrik
and himself a seperate room, with the help of Harry's money. Then, Hagrid
got them both dinner and told them to stay there or else. He went back to
Diagon Alley.
"Hagrid must trust us a lot if he'll let us be alone here."Harry said
mischievously.
"Harry, no. He's really trusting us. He's treating us like grownups
here."Jarrik argued.
"I know. I was just joking. My family, the Dursleys won't even think about
letting me stay home alone."he said zoning off into space.
"Harry. Earth to Harry. You read?"Jarrik said, waiting for a reply.
"Yes, Comrade?"said Harry still zoning.
"STOP ZONING!"he said louder that he had intended.
"Ok don't yell."Harry said angrily."I'm going to eat now, if that's all
right with you."He started eating without another word. Jarrik followed
suit. Hagrid came back to two silent boys eating the disgusting soup &
sandwiches. They also had pumpkin juice which was pretty good. Hagrid went
and bought himself fifteen jumbo burgers. He also bought himself a jumbo
large Coke, which he actually liked.
"I have something for yeh. A birthday present since your cousin Dudley ate
yer cake."
"You didn't have to Hagrid."Harry said as Hagrid pulled out a cage from
behind his back. It was a snowy owl. Harry's jaw dropped.
"Th-thanks Hagrid!"Harry stuttered, sounding like Quirrill for a moment.
"No problem. this is a girl owl. So treat her like a human and she'll
become humanized. She will deliver letters for you. Without an
address."Hagrid informed Harry.
"Thanks."Harry said again.
Then, Hagrid took Harry and Jarrik to the train station.
"Yeh'll use this ticket ter get on the train going to and from Hogwarts for
7 years. DO NOT lose this ticket. Stick ter yer ticket."Hagrid ordered.
"All right."said Harry as he put the ticket in his pocket.
"Come on, Harry, I'll help you get your stuff onto the train."said Jarrik.
"Ok!"Harry agreed. They picked up some luggage and ran towards the cargo
section of the train. The boys did this twice total. Then, they shook hands
and said good bye. Harry gave Hagrid a hug good bye. Harry climbed onto the
train and sat at a window seat to wave. The train started going and Harry
started waving. He tried not to blink but he slipped and when he got his
eyes open, Hagrid and Jarrik were gone.
