They reached the room and not to their surprise Hermione and Ron were fully
snogging.
They cleared their throats and Hermione looked up from Ron. She smiled and got off from the top of Ron.
Ron looked at Draco and Harry's hands and gaped. Hermione patted him on the arm and smiled at them.
"Well, that took long enough didn't it?" Asked Hermione looking at Draco.
"And it was well worth the Wait." Replied Draco
Hermione raised an eyebrow at Draco "That good huh?"
Draco smiled at Hermione.
"Hermione Granger, why didn't you tell me before?" exclaimed Harry
"Because my dear, Draco Malfoy would have killed me on the stop." Replied Hermione.
Harry smiled. "Well, I'm glad you never told me. I wouldn't have believed you anyway."
"Excuse me?" said Ron who looked pale as a ghost, even paler than Draco.
All eyes turned to him as if noticing him for the first time.
"Wha-what is going on?"
"Why isn't it obvious Weasel? I would have thought even you would have put the pieces together by now. I don't know what Hermione sees in you." Said Draco
Hermione threw an empty pop can at him "Hey, be careful who you're talking to."
"Hermione dear, I was talking to the weasel." Said Draco smirking
Hermione gave Draco a smirk, "Anyway, we started eating already, the pizza's getting cold."
Draco and Harry took a seat and started eating. All three of them were eating and trying to explain everything to the very confused and embarrassed Ron Weasley.
After they finished eating Weasley was still in shock. He couldn't understand his best friend and his worst enemy becoming an item.
"Why does this always happen to me?" said Ron shaking his head while burying his hands in his head.
Hermione gave him an 'unbelievable' look "Ron dear, nothing ever happens to you."
Ron shot his head up. He looked like he was deep in thought. And finally he was able to put all the pieces together and realized "Hey, your right!" he shrugged.
Harry couldn't help but laugh and Draco and Hermione followed suit. "Ron, your such a drama queen. Are you sure your not queer?"
"Hey! Don't say that!" said Hermione defending Ron.
This only made Harry and Draco laugh harder and Ron joined in soon after.
"There's still a lot to do though." Said Draco standing up after a whole hearted laugh.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry
"Your wand potty head."
"Oh yeah! I forgot." Replied Harry
"Of course you forgot. Now we'll go buy another one. Ollivanders?"
Harry nodded. And stood up.
"We're coming with you." Exclaimed Ron and Hermione.
Draco gave them a semi glare while Harry smiled at them.
They apparated into Diagon alley just outside Ollivanders. The sign outside still read 'Ollidanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382B.C.'. The stepped inside the store.
Draco took out the pieces of wood from his pocket and laid it on a counter. He no longer needed to hide the wand from Harry. Harry was going to get a new one and this made Draco feel much more reassured.
Soon after they stepped into the store, Mr. Ollivanders came out. Upon meeting his eyes with Harry Potter he stopped his rush.
"Ah yes, I thought I would be seeing you again Mr. Potter. Professor Dumbledore owled me just a short while ago informing me you would be needing a new wand. Now, lets see shall we?"
And with that Mr. Ollivanders disappeared into one of the back shelves. The four looked at each other and waited for Mr. Ollivander to return.
"Yes yes, I think maybe?" said Mr. Ollivanders as he came running back out towards Harry.
"Hold this and just swish it. No need to cast a spell or anything. You will know when you find your wand."
Harry took the wand and just gave it a little swish. Red sparks shot out of it and came dancing around in front of Harry.
"No no. Mr. Potter can do much better than that now." As he took the wand back and entered his back room.
He returned once again in a little haste "Perhaps this one."
Harry took the wand and gave it a little swish motion. This time red and gold sparkles shout out of the tip of the wand and danced in front of Harry.
Again Mr. Ollivanders took the wand back and shook his head. "No, we need a much stronger wand for Mr. Potter now wont we. Maybe one similar to the one you had before?"
And again Mr. Ollivanders returned to the back room. He quickly came back out and was holding a chest. It was a very elaborately decorated chest. Many very detailed designs carved into the chest.
"Try this one. It is one of the most prized and powerful. If you are able to control the magic of this wand," and he broke off for a pause "Well, lets see what happens shall we?"
Harry reached into the chest and took hold of the wand and as Harry took hold of it, immediately he felt an enormous rush of power surging through the wand to his arm. He gave it a firmer grip and gave it a light swish motion.
This time Gold, and silver stars shot out and it did not end there. Wherever he was taking the wand a stream of gold was spilling out. When it finally released the stream of gold moved and took life on its own. It created a very clear image of a lion was formed before them. It gave a rather loud roar before fading into nothingness once more.
The expression on Mr. Ollivanders was full of pure joy. "Finally I have found the owner of this wand. Now I see why it was not chosen for you the first time you entered my store. Or else this wonder of magic would have gone to waste."
Harry looked a bit shocked. With what he just saw it was a bit frightening for Harry. He only swished the wand. No spell, nothing and the outcome was incredible. So powerful and strong. "Uh, Thanks." Replied Harry lamely "How much do I own you?" reaching for his money pouch.
"Oh my dear boy. I swore many years ago that whomever this wand belonged to will put it to strong use. Good or bad and the witch or wizard it belonged to could not have a price labeled to him or her. Harry my dear, you can put a price on a wand but you can never put a price on power and magic. I can only hope that you will put the wand to good use rather than bad. I have faith in you my dear boy. You have yet to let me down."
Harry smiled and nodded. But it was Draco who spoke next.
"Mr. Ollivander, if you don't mind me asking, what is the wand made of?"
"Oh my dear Mr. Malfoy the wand contains a string of unicorn hair from the most powerful unicorn come to life, do you remember the unicorn that belonged to Merlin?"
Draco's jaw dropped. Harry still did not know what was so important.
"Yes my dear boy. There is a hair from Merlin's Unicorn and yes another. A tail feather from a phoenix, the phoenix that lead our world to freedom. Remember?"
This time Harry heard Hermione and Ron gaping. He guessed it was because Draco could not be in more of a shock to give a bigger reaction.
"Yes, well it was a tail feather from the phoenix, the most powerful phoenix ever known to our world or any world for that matter. And it suits Mr. Potter seeing as how his last wand also contained a tail feather of a phoenix. And yes yes, it is once again eleven inches. I should have guessed it. And to top it off Mr. Potter there was only one other wizard known to man who owned a wand which held power even close to this. Merlin himself was the only wizard who was able to withhold the brother wand to this in which you are holding. This is power beyond all power Mr. Potter."
Harry knew that this must have been big. If Merlin himself had a wand similar to this then this must be a very VERY powerful wand.
Harry thanked Mr. Ollivander and left the store as Mr. Ollivander once again bowed to Harry and the others biding them farewell.
The four walked in silence as Harry held the chest, which contained his new wand. They entered the Leaky Cauldron and took a private booth. Harry was the only one who was able to speak so he ordered a butter beer for Hermione, a few shots of scotch for Ron and two glasses or whiskey for Draco and himself.
If it weren't for the fact that Harry could see them blink from time to time and see their chest rise and fall from taking deep breaths he would have thought they all died.
Harry didn't want to say anything. He didn't want to insult anyone by accident because he truly did not know how important this was. It was at this point where Harry wished he had paid more attention during his History of Magic classes.
They cleared their throats and Hermione looked up from Ron. She smiled and got off from the top of Ron.
Ron looked at Draco and Harry's hands and gaped. Hermione patted him on the arm and smiled at them.
