Chapter 3-Cassandra's Wand
Fic By Arise Woodward
All Rights Belong To JK Rowling


It had been about four weeks since Hermione and Cassandra had come to stay with Harry. Things had been strangely different around the Dursleys, they even treated Harry better. And Dudley continued to flush and stutter whenever Cassandra happened to be coming in that direction. He looked at her with almost a longing when the Weasley's came to come pick them up to buy their new supplies. "Well, have a good time at school Cassan-I mean Cassie. Bye."
To his extreme surprise, and Harry's Cassandra smiled and said, "I'll write you."
Dudley kept his pig-like face in that postition even when they shut the door. Harry expected that he was still there, staring, his mouth open and gawking. "Okay Cassandra, let's go get your wand, shall we?"
Cassandra nodded shyly and went with Mrs. Weasly in the direction of Olivander's. Harry and Hermione followed while Ron headed over to the nearest joke shop where Fred and George were trying to sell their products.
They opened the door to the old shop, and dust sprang up everywhere, and a few boxes fell from the high rows that they were in. Mr. Olivander hobbled over and picked them up, putting them on a spare table that was crowded with silver sickles. "Now, you are Cassandra Troy Granger, correct? Hermione's sister? Yes, I thought you might be coming, come come...Let's see...Willow, eleven and 1/2 inches, with unicorn hair and thestral feather, a new combination, slightly swishy. Try it out."
Cassandra waved the wand, looking slightly baffled as nothing happened. "No? Oh well, let's see here...This one, yes. nine inches, maple, with dragon's heartstring and a strand of veela hair (He had been importing them from France ever since he saw Fleur's). Go on, wave it."
She waved the wand, exasperated, but all they got was an annoyed 'HMPH!' from Cassandra. "Be patient my dear..Try this one. twelve inches, pine, slightly bendy, with a pheonix feather and unicorn tail thread."
She waved it, still looking annoyed, and to her surprise, a shower of colored sparks shot out of the end. "Wonderful, Wonderful! Hardly anyone has been getting wands with pheonix feathers anymore, it's being quite unpopular since people found out that he," he gestured to Harry, "and The Dark Lord have them in their wands. Wonderful!"
Cassandra just giggled and held her new wand close, and hesitating to give it to Mr. Olivander to put into a box. "Go on Cassie."
Mr. Olivander smiled wearily and handed her the box with the wand. He noddded to them and they turned around to leave. Hermione grasped Cassandra's shoulder roughly. "Aren't you even going to thank Mr. Olivander?"
Cassandra came back and inclined her head, "Thank you very much for my wand Mr. Olivander."
He held her chin up gently. "You are quite welcome my dear, now, I'm sure you have much to buy, so off you go!"
Cassandra smiled and skipped out of the shop, with Hermione and Harry followind behind. "You are so bossy to her Hermione."
"Well, she's got to have good manners, right?"
"Does she? Do you?"
"Of course."
"If you say so."
"I do."
Harry grinned and gave her a light push as they walked into Flourish and Blots, only to be hurriedly given their books by Mrs. Weasly and then pushed out of the crowded store. They met up with Ron and the twins again, and decided to get Cassandra an animal. "I've always wanted a cat."
Ron raised his eyebrows. "Well, let's hope you don't have Hermione's taste in cats."
Hermione only glared at him while Cassandra muffled her giggles. They stared around the "Magical Menagerie' shop, while the heavy smell of owl droppings loomed over them. Cassandra was happily petting a little black kitten with large yellow eyes. Hermione walked over. "That's the runt you know."
"Yes I know, but isn't it just the cutest thing?"
Hermione just pursed her lips together and kept silent while Cassandra took the kitten and a basket to put it in up to the counter. "I'd like her please."
The witch was young, obviously a new employee, with many scratches and bites on her hands. She took the kitten and put him in the basket. "Four galleons, two knuts, and eight sickles please."
She paid the witch and waltzed out, carrying her prized kitten. After awhile, they decided that it was time to stop for ice cream. They sat down together, talking about quiditch and puelting, while Hermione buried her head in her advanced transfiguration book. Harry smiled over at Cassandra. "So, Cassie, whatcha' gonna name your kitten?"
She scratched it behind the ears, and looked thoughtful. "I think I'll call her Quanda."
"Quanda?"
She nodded. "Mmhmm, it means companian in Vietamese."
"Oh. Well, that's creative."
"I know."
Harry laughed. "Quanda. I like it."
He tickled it under the chin, only to have little tiny sharp kitten teeth dig into his finger. "Well. I guess it dosn't like me."
She smiled. "Guess so."
Mrs. Weasley walked over to to them. "Come on you four, everyone else is already on the train!"
"Okay, let's go!"
