Sirius' Jewel
Chapter 2
I spent the remaining half of my summer exploring Diagon Alley. It was really fascinating and I had a lot of fun in Flourish and Blotts. I explored muggle London, as well. I had always wanted to come here and I wasn't going to waste any time not that I was. About a week before I was suppose to leave for Hogwarts I realized that I hadn't gotten any of my things. So that day I went to Gringotts and got some money and bought everything I would need for the school year: books, robes, potion's ingredients, and a wand.
I walked into Olivander's wand shop and sat down on the rickety chair. I was sitting for about thirty seconds when I heard s a soft voice speak from with in the shop.
"Ms. Starr, I didn't think I would see the day when you would come to buy a wand." The speaker turned out to an old man.
"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to sound like I didn't know what he was talking about.
"You know what I mean. You don't need a wand to perform your magic." He replied, calmly. I just stared at him.
"How did you know that?" I asked, in a low voice.
"I know things like these when it comes to wands and magic. You shouldn't even bother buying one, but if it will make you feel better then be my guest." He said, smiling at me. Shivers went up my spine. I mean, nobody knew that I didn't need a wand to do magic except the people at Polk. That was part of the reason I didn't really fit in there.
"Well, since I'm here already, I might as well buy a wand." I said, more to myself than to Mr. Olivander. He nodded and pulled out a long thin box, from which he produced a wand.
"Made of Holly, eight inches, and contains the hair of a rather feisty unicorn." He said, handing the wand to me. Nothing happened. Nothing happened with the next nine or ten wands I tried either.
"Well, let's try this one," Mr. Olivander said, handing me another wand. "Beach wood, eight and a quarter inches, and contains the tail feather of phoenix." He added. As I took the wand, I had this sudden feeling that this was the one and green and gold sparks came out of the tip.
"I think I'll be taking this one." I said, smiling and paying Mr. Olivander. I left the wand shop, feeling like nothing could wrong. I was going to make Hogwarts work, because there nobody knew about my past. There I could be who ever I wanted to.
