Tamzin smiled. 'Just my wand now!'
Hagrid returned the smile. 'Indeed, this way!'
Hagrid walked down the street while Tamzin jogged by his side to keep up. They came to a halt outside an old shop with a sign that read, 'Ollivander's: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC.' Tamzin looked at the sign thoughtfully until Hagrid's booming voice brought her back to reality,
although it still felt like a dream. 'This is it! The best wand shop in Britain!' Hagrid said as they went in. A bell rang and a small old man appeared.
'Hello Hagrid! Brought the other poor soul have you?' He asked knowingly. Tamzin looked up at him with a confused expression on her face. 'How did you?' Hagrid started but trailed off as Mr. Ollivander opened his mouth to speak.
'I was the wand expert they called in, same side is it?' He pointed to Tamzin's fringe and moved it aside. 'Your mother had the same long blonde hair, but your'e is as straight as a ruler while she had the most beautiful curls. Your grey-green eyes are just like your father's and your hands, long slim fingers and soft palm, just like your grandmother's. Such a pity...' He trailed off.
'What is, Mr. Ollivander?' Tamzin asked quietly.
'That,' he paused, 'you couldn't be with the people that you are so much alike.' He chuckled. 'Not that you're like your grandmother personality wise.' He bustled off and came back with a long thin box. 'If you are who you ought to be, you need not be measured and there is no need to try out several wands, this should be perfect.' He took a long, thin wand out of the box and said, 'this wand, just like all other wands, is unique, but even more so than any other. I have stored this wand for ten years, waiting for you, Tamzin Black. This wand is made from an actual unicorn horn and has a unicorn tail hair running through the middle. It is ten inches long exactly and VERY powerful, if with the right owner. You will go far Tamzin Black! But will you choose the right side?' He went to turn back into the back of the shop but Tamzin stopped him.
'Erm... Mr Ollivander, sir? How much is it?' She asked politely.
'Professor Dumbledore gave it to me, ten years ago, to pass on to you, not to sell to you.' He retreated to the back of the shop.
Tamzin kept quiet for the trip home until Hagrid started chuckling. 'You and Harry are so much alike!' Nothing more was said. Tamzin was dropped off at the orphanage. 'Here's your ticket for the train, the date and station are on there. Bye Tamzin!' Hagrid pulled her into a bone breaking hug and passed her a train ticket.
'Bye Hagrid! Thank you so much for everything!' Hagrid started crying. 'Don't worry! I'll visit you as soon as I'm at Hogwarts! It's only a month!' He hugged her again and went on his way. Tamzin walked through the orphage doors with he arms laden with all her new things and immediately Ellie and Nicole came rushing over to help her. As soon as they were in their room, Ellie and Nicole bombarded her with atleast a dozeb questions each so Tamzin told them everything and made them swear not to tell. But Tamzin kept what Mr. Ollivander had said to herself, she didn't want to share that information just yet.
Her month of holidays was the best ever. She had different books to read now, she didn't feel like reading the french books her mother had left her, she had read them atleast twenty times. But even though she was happy as she was, she still couldn't wait to get to Hogwarts, she couldn't wait until she learnt some magic, she couldn't wait to be put in her house //how do they do that anyways?\\, she couldn't wait until she met some new people, she couldn't wait until she saw Ron again, she thought he was friendly, she couldn't wait until she saw Hagrid again. But most of all, she couldn't wait to meet Professor Dumbledore, she wanted more than anything to know what REALLY happened to her mother and father, and why, heck! She wanted to know everything! She was so excited to get away from Bridgend Youth Orphanage that she forgot what date it was. 'Hey Ellie, what's the date?' She asked.
'Dunno. Hey Nicole! What's the date?' Ellie asked.
'Dunno.' Nicole replied. After about five minutes she suddenly burst out. 'ARGH! OH... JUST... ARGH!' Then she ran over to Tamzin and gave her a huge hug.
'What the...?' Tamzin was too confused to realise that there was a very unhappy Nicole hugging the living daylights out of her. Nicole was crying. Then after about five more minutes, Ellie ran over, also crying, and hugged Tamzin with Nicole. 'Would someone care to explain?'
'You're going tomorrow.' Ellie sniffed and let go of Tamzin. 'It's august the thirty-first! We'll miss you loads! Don't forget to write to us loads, use your owl, please, just don't forget about us.'
Tamzin smiled and said, 'anyone would be nuts to forget about you two! You're the bestest friends in the whole world! I'll write to you all the time, I'll tell my owl to hang around for a reply, he'll know where to find me. Owls are very intelligent creatures.' Her owl fluttered onto Tamzin's shoulder and nuzzled his head into her neck. 'I bet he'll be the best owl ever! He's so roolable! So are you guys!' For once Tamzin pulled them into a group hug, her owl continued to nuzzle.
'ARGH!' Ellie shouted, 'you gotta ask Mrs Saundersby for a lift to London!'
'I'll go now!' Tamzin bolted to Mrs Saundersby's room. The governor was burning more letters. 'Errr... Mrs Saundersby?' Tamzin said quietly.
'Yes, child?' Mrs Saundersby answered irritably.
'You know I have to be in Kings Cross tomorrow by eleven for the school train? Well, um, you have a car, and I was just wondering if maybe, I could, um, get a lift to Kings Cross, maybe, please.' She stuttered and stammered.
'Anything to get rid of you for a year. And don't you dare come back, not for anything, not for holidays, and if you can, stay for the summer ones too.' She spat querulously.
Tamzin went back to the girls' room to find Ellie and Nicole still crying. 'Awww! Doppit! Come on and help me pack! I could do with a hand or four.' So they all packed Tamzin's things. It took almost three hours to fit it all in her trunk, and by the time it was finished it was tea time. 'Coming to the hall for food?'
'I wonder why they call it a hall, it's not exactly big is it?' Nicole said thoughtfully.
'Hey! I bet the halls at our schools are big, they'll have good food too! Compared to this dump our schools will be brill!' Ellie grinned optimisticly.
'Won't be as good without you two, but I'll survive!' Tamzin muttered. 'Hey, you two right, you can't tell no-one about magic actually existing, ok? It's really important! If anyone asks, you know nothing, right? Because if the ministry knows you know, they'll erase your memory or something and we won't be able to talk about everything good that goes on in school.' Tamzin said more serious than intended.
'Ok!' Nicole and Ellie said in unison. Tamzin smiled. Saying that she would miss them immensely was an understatement, but she didn't know it yet.
