"Okay,
girls, here is the wands storage room. I think we shall start with
Ms. Weasley. Come here, McKayla," Mr. Ollivander said, leading
Kayla into the storage room.
About ten minutes later, Kayla
emerged with a new wand. It was oak with dragon heartstring, twelve
inches.
"Now, for Ms. Potter. Come along, McKenzie."
Kenzie
stepped through the door to find what she thought was not originally
a storage room. It was a great cavernous hall, and on the high
ceilings there were stalactites.
"Mr. Ollivander, was this
once-" Kenzie started.
"A cave? Why, yes, Ms. Weasley
asked the same question. We do have to carve out the stalagmites,
though, or we'd be tripping all over," Mr. Ollivander explained.
"Here- try this wand."
It was a beautiful wand,
mahogany, with a core of unicorn hair, eight inches.
"Give it
a wave," Mr. Ollivander said.
Kenzie gave it the best wave
that she could. Suddenly, two stalactites came loose and crashed to
the floor right near her feet.
"Uh, no, I don't think that's
it, Mr. Ollivander," Kenzie said, her heart pounding.
"Me
neither. You caused more damage with that wand than your father did,"
Mr. Ollivander said. "Try this."
It was lovely, an oak
wand, with dragon heartstring, nine inches.
She waved it and about
twenty boxes fell off the shelves.
"No. I wonder..." Mr.
Ollivander said, pulling another box off the shelf. "Try this.
I'm curious."
Kenzie read the label. It was a holly wand,
with a core of phoenix feather, eleven inches in length.
She waved
it. In the room there was a slight breeze, as if that were the
one.
"That's curious! That wand is my last wand that contains
a feather from the same phoenix as your father's and someone else's
wand contained," Mr. Ollivander said.
"The Dark Lord
Voldemort," Kenzie said under her breath.
"DO NOT SPEAK
THE NAME!" Mr. Ollivander shouted, becoming paranoid.
"Okay,
okay. Um, I'm leaving now. Here's your two galleons," Kenzie
said, shoving two large gold coins into his hand. "Thank you!"
she added, running away.
