Lily and her mother stepped into Olivanders as a tinkling bell rang somewhere within the small shop. It was a tiny place with only one single chair on which Lily's mom sat. They waited. The place was silent and all along the wall there was thousands of tiny boxes. Lily could feel the magic in the air and she could see that her mother was uneasy.
"Good afternoon," said a soft voice making both Lily and her mom jump.
In front of them stood an old man (still old, still a man) with pale eyes that seemed to glow like moons in the gloom of the place.
"Hello," said Lily awkwardly.
"Ah yes," said the man. "Another Hogwarts student. and what eyes! What's your name?" He asked taking a long tape measurer from his pocket.
"Lily. Lily Evans." she said shyly.
"Which is your wand hand Miss Evans?"
"I'm left-handed.. If that's what you mean?" She answered.
"Hold out your arm." As she complied he measured her extended arm from should to finger, then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and round her head. As he measure he said, "Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance. We use unicorn hairs, pheonix tail feathers, and the heartstrings of dragons. No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or pheonixes are quit the same. And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard's wand." (doesn't this sounds familiar. hmmm. I could have sworn..)
Lily suddenly realized that the tape measure, which was measuring inside her ear, was doing this on its own and Mr. Ollivander was taking boxes down from the shelves.
"That will do," he said, and the tap measure crumpled into a heap on the floor. and the wand testing began.
After the 3rd or 4th wand Lily found one that worked. She felt a warmth as magiic spurted out of the wand.
"Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow, nice wand for charm work."
Going home that day Lily was startled with the realization that she woulf truly always remember Mr. Ollivanders words about her wand. ". nice wand for charm work." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
A/N: Going very slow now aren't I? Don't worry, I'll hurry along soon enough. just felt like frustrating ya'll a bit. that's all... hehehe
