Disclaimer: Jade & her mom.....you know
It only took them an hour to get everything on their lists. Jade collapsed on the ground near Ollivander's Wand Shop.
"Too tired, must stop," she breathed. Hermione laughed. "I take it you really didn't sleep well then."
Jade smiled and nodded slightly. She turned her head toward the building behind her. "I have to get a wand. What luck! I happened to collapse near the wand shop," she said standing up.
"You don't have a wand?" Harry asked curiously. "I did," Jade said slowly. "But. . . . . . .I lost it when I came here."
"Oh," Harry said skeptically. "How?" Hermione glanced over at Harry, slightly nudging him in the side.
Jade looked around, as if it would help her with an answer. "Ummm, it just fell out of my pocket, I guess. One minute I had it, the next minute I didn't."
Harry nodded his head. "Oh." Jade reached to grab to door handle. "You don't have to stay. I have to do some more things when I finish here." She looked around quickly. "Meet me in front of. . . . Harry didn't you say there was an ice cream place?"
"Yeah," he said. "Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor." "Okay then, I'll meet you there in a half hour, okay?"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione nodded as Jade thrust the door open and walked into the store. The inside was filled to the brim with boxes, tons and tons of boxes. A small, strange man suddenly appeared in front of her. He peered at her with his moon-like eyes.
"You look greatly familiar," he said slowly. "Like a customer that I've seen before, a long time ago. But it couldn't be. . .could it?"
Jade gulped. "My father was Sirius Black, if that's what you mean?" The man she presumed was Ollivander, smiled at her. "So there was another heir. The rumor was true, he did have a child. What is your name, sweetheart?"
"Jade," she said skeptically. "Jade Black." "Ah, and I have the pleasure of getting you a wand," he said as he scurried off somewhere. "I think I know the perfect one."
He handed her a rectangular box. She opened it carefully and inside there was beautiful wand. "Give it a wave," he said.
She obeyed and swished the wand. A jet of golden light beamed out, filling the room. "Very peculiar," Ollivander whispered once the light ceased. "Very, very peculiar."
"What's peculiar?" Jade asked, still holding the wand between her fingers. "Have you been sorted, dear?" he asked ignoring her question.
"Yes," she said. "Slytherin?" he asked.
"No, of course not," she answered slightly appalled at the thought. "Gryffindor, like my father."
"I find it very peculiar, Miss Black, because the Black family was a very successful line of Pureblooded wizards, almost all who have attended Slytherin. You and your father were the only exceptions." He took a deep breath. "The wand that I just handed you was yew, 12 inches, a single unicorn hair. That same wand was given to both of your grandparents, your uncle Regulus, your cousin Bellatrix, and your other cousin, Narcissa. All of them attended the Slytherin house and I thought that maybe you would follow in their steps."
"Are you sure that this is my wand then?" Jade asked staring at it. Ollivander smiled. "I have never been wrong before, I don't think I've started now."
"Oh," she said as she handed him twelve Sickles. "Good-bye then." She walked out of the shop and into the warm sunlight feeling a bit nervous. She had gotten the same wand as almost the rest of her family who attended the Slytherin House. It was a bit peculiar. She looked down at her watch and realized that she only had fifteen minutes before she was to meet Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She quickly pulled a familiar card out of her pocket and read the address. She quickly hurried to the building. Once there she looked admiringly up at the sign, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Jade smiled and reached for the door handle. As it opened , a bell went off, signaling that a customer was there. Both twins appeared in front of her, obviously using apparition.
"Why hello Jade," said Fred, (she only knew because of the name tags they were wearing). "What brings you here?"
Jade smiled. "Well school is starting soon and I know people will be very cautious of me because of who my father was. I'll need some protection, other then using my wand. Some sort of retaliation if I need it, ya know?"
George smiled. "I think we know exactly what you mean. Do you have anything in mind?" Jade bit her lip as she looked around the room. "What can 25 Galleons get me?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out 25 gold coins.
Fred and George looked at each other with a sly grin. "I think we could figure something out."
