The next morning, Harry, Hermione, Marianna, and the whole Weasley clan went to Diagon Alley. Marianna was amazed with it. She mentioned to the trio that she never had stepped foot in a wizard market before.
"Everything I need for school, was provided by the school," Marianna explained. "That way all the students had the best. But the books were sometimes older than my mom, and the wands was another story."
She pulled out her wand. It was an old one. "It seems like they were handed in after you graduated, then you went and bought your own. I didn't understand it." She tuned the wand in her hand, studying it a little bit. "Mom said I could go and buy a new one, then return this one to school."
"Well, we could stop by Ollivander's and get you one. Mister Ollivander is good at finding the wand that best suits you," Ron suggested. He was holding onto Hermione's hand. Marianna looked at him with confusion.
"Ollivander?" Marianna questioned.
"What about him, Mari?" Charlie asked, coming up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug.
"Nothing, just getting used to all this," Marianna said. She smiled up at Charlie.
"Anyway, Mari, I have to get going. There's an emergency in Romania. Samuel said that there was a bunch of wild Norwegian Ridgebacks causing disturbance with the other colonies."
Marianna frowned a bit. "But you haven't been her for even twenty-four hours, and you have to go?"
Charlie leaned down and kissed Marianna softly on the lips. "I'm sorry Mari, but I really have to go. You don't' know how bad I feel right now, leaving you and all."
"Just go Charlie; they need you up there," Marianna said.
"Yeah, Mari will be just fine with us," Hermione said, smiling a little at the couple.
"Alright, I'll go. I'll owl you when I get there, alright?" Charlie said, hugging Marianna. He turned around and headed back towards the other end of Diagon Alley.
Marianna watched as Charlie walked through the streaming crowd. A disappointing look came to her face and she sighed. What would she give just have him back with her?
"Mari, it's alright. C'mon, let's just go and get your wand," Hermione said, putting an arm around Marianna's shoulder.
"Hermione, you are so lucky to have a boyfriend that you get to see every day," Marianna whispered to Hermione as they walked with Ron and Harry to Ollivander's.
"Marianna, it doesn't matter how much you get see someone, it matters how much you love them," Hermione whispered back.
Marianna turned her head back to the front of her. Hermione was right, doesn't matter how much time you get to spend with the one you love, as long as you love them.
They went on a little longer, until they go to Ollivander's. As Marianna was about to step into the store, someone was coming out, and knocked her over.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you coming in! Are you alright?" a boy's voice asked, full of concern.
"Yeah, I think I am. Nothing seems to be broken or to hurt," Marianna said. She looked up and saw a pair of green eyes looking into hers and wavy sandy blonde hair. The boy seemed to be around her age.
He outstretched his hand to help her up. She took it with out hesitation and he had her up on her feet in no time. He was a toned and had an athletic body, plus a genuine smile on his face...and tall by no end. He looked like a Quidditch player, with a nice tan that he had.
"Sorry about that. I was just replacing my wand and was in a hurry. I wasn't looking," the boy said, apologizing.
"No, it's alright. Really, I wasn't looking either," Marianna said. The boy's eyes and face mesmerized her. She would have to admit, he was handsome.
"I'm Blaise Zabini," the boy said.
"Marianna Black. Nice to meet you," Marianna said politely.
Blaise took her hand and kissed the top of it. Marianna felt a blush creep up in her cheeks, but she quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head. How could she allow this when she was with Charlie?
"I have to go in and get my wand," Marianna hurriedly said. "My friends are probably wondering if I got lost." She turned to go into the store, but Blaise caught her by her upper arm.
"I'm sure we'll be see each other more once we get to Hogwarts, Marianna Black," Blaise said seductively.
"I see," Marianna said, and ran into the store, leaving Blaise behind.
"Mari, where have you been? We thought you were behind us but you weren't!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, I just bumped into someone. Um, a Blaise Zabini," Marianna said. She looked at Harry. He had been awfully quiet since this morning. Haven't said a word to anyone. She wanted to know what he was thinking but decided that it wasn't a good idea. But he surprised her by whispering in her ear, "Stay away from him Marianna. He's nothing but trouble." And that's all. Nothing more, nothing less. What she didn't get was why he thought Blaise was trouble.
Mr. Ollivander came out almost promptly. When he seen who had came into his store, he hesitated then smiled weakly.
"Ah, Miss Black. I thought you would never come here, since you moved and all," the small old man said. Marianna stared at him. How did he know her name? But before she could find the answer he had a wand in front of her.
"Oak, unicorn hair, eleven inches," Ollivander stated. Marianna took the wand with her right hand and gave it a wave. The vase from the desk flew across the store.
"I don't think so," Marianna said. Ollivander nodded in agreement.
"Try this. Ebony, phoenix feather, thirteen inches."
Marianna grabbed it and even with out a wave, she knew this was the right wand.
"Just like your mother's wand," Ollivander. "Like all true Potters."
"What do you mean, 'Like all true Potters'?" Harry asked.
Ollivander just smiled and said, "All Potters' wands have a phoenix feather for their core."
Marianna figured that this was her chance to find some answers. She concentrated and soon she could see the mind of Ollivander. Visions of wands and other wizardry things were floating in her mind. She looked around Ollivander's mind, seeing almost every memory he had. She was just looking around until something caught her attention. She saw a memory with Ollivander dressed in a dark cloak with the hood up; she wasn't able to see his face all too well. Then she saw his forearm. A tattoo was on in, a skull with a snake coming from it's mouth.
Marianna snapped back to her own mind. "Um, I have other things to get. Here, this should cover the wand." She laid down the money, and walked quickly out of the store.
