Part II

Ileana laughed and the party walked through the door into the very dusty room and very messy room.

-

----------------

-

Books from shelves on the side of the room had been blasted to pieces a hole in the ceiling blew chilly air into the shop.

A girl and a boy her age were standing at the counter. Behind them was a man who looked to be about 30.

With soft brown hair falling over his face and his brown eyes he scanned the dozens of boxes lining the shelves.

"Ah, here we are, give this one a try," he said picking up a long thin box.

He set it on the counter in front of the girl, who opened it up and picked up a long thin wand. She flicked it towards the man and a jumble of flowers fell onto the counter in front of him.

"Whoa missy, point that wand somewhere else next time, if that had been the wrong wand….Yeah."

"Alright, Jack lets see what we can find you. Since you two are twins. Let's give this one a try." The man picked another box off the shelves and put it down in front of the boy, Jack.

Jack picked up the wand from the box and waved it at the far wall. Water streamed from the point and fell on the floor quickly flooding the room. "Alright, we get the point!" The man shouted "Drop your hand already."

The boy, Jack, Smiled sheepishly and flicked his hand again stopping the flow of water.

"Sorry Joe."

"It's okay. The wand is just happy to see you. It must really like you."

Jack laughed shyly and looked at his new wand.

"Wow Jack, That was so cool, but now I'm wet. Couldn't you have done something like try to make flowers or something?" The girl now standing on a stool by the counter said

"Flowers are girly." Jack replied

"Well, water is wet."

"No, duh!"

Ileana laughed revealing her presence to the arguing twins and shopkeeper.

Jack blushed and tucked his wand into his jeans and the shop keeper flicked his wand at the floor drying up the puddle of water. The girl jumped off the stool, tucked her new wand into her pocket and walked up to Ileana.

"Lo, my name is Alice. My brother is Jack and that's the shop keeper Joe. If you're here, you must be going to Hogwarts this year! So are we." She gestured to herself and Jack.

"My name is Ileana, and you're right, this is my first year. This is my brother and his friend Tanya." She said pointing to the two who had wandered over to the counter and were conversing with Joe. "They're third years."

"Really? Well, why are you still standing here? You need to get your wand. Do you want to go get treats after? It'd be nice to know someone going to Hogwarts than not."

"Sure!" Replied Ileana

"We'll wait for you." Alice said and then went and stood next to Jack who was reading a book on wands.

Ileana approached the counter just as Edward and Tanya finished talking to Joe.

Eddy motioned to her to come closer.

"Hey Ileana, Tanya and I have some things to do before we return to the Leaky Cauldron. We overheard you conversation with your new friend and so if it's alright with you, we'll meet you at Wizard Weaselys Wheezes at half past four. Okay?"

"Sure," Ileana replied then looked at her watch "Uh….then I'll see you two in two hours."

"K."

Ileana turned toward the counter as Edward and Tanya left.

"Alright then," Joe said gently placing three boxes on the counter in front of her "Try the red box first, cherry wood and unicorn hair."

For the next half hour Ileana tried wand after wand with no luck. The floor was covered in newly blasted holes and the ceiling was now black with soot.

"Well, you've tried almost every wand that's fit for a girl like you. There is a dog wood with a rats tail. No, that wouldn't do."

Ileana scrunched up her nose in disgust and Alice laughed, even Jack smiled.

Joe put his elbows on the table and covered his face with his hands.

"Are you okay? I could try another wand shop if I'm causing too much damage."

"No, no, I'm just thinking." Joe said then peeked out from behind his hands and looked at her. "What's your favorite color?"

"Black and silver."

"Silver, silver," Joe mumbled then exclaimed "Of course silverwood, though……well, it's worth a try."

Ileana heard a gasp from behind her. Jack was looking as though he had tried to swallow an apple whole and failed.

Alice looked at him and snorted. "What's wrong with you?" she asked.

Jack mumbled under his breath and slowly looked up at her, his face blank.

"Silverwood, a rare wood that comes from a rare tree that grows once every hundred years and withers in a day. It is said that the wood can cure any ailment, even love."

Jack said whispering the last part.

"The tree attracts unicorns and just like a unicorn's blood, if a branch is taken off for ones own self it will curse you and any who come in contact with it. Taken for another it will bless. As a wand it is hard to control but has enormous amounts of power, though it will decide whether to do a spell or not, unless you have complete control over it. It's also said that the wood from that tree has its own personality."

"That's right, though I'm not sure about that last part, and this piece of wood holds a hair from a unicorn's beard." Joe said holding up a silver and gold wand box "The branch was taken from a tree stumbled across by the previous owner of the shop Mr. Ollivander, used at first for healing his mother and sending her to her never ending sleep without pain. He then made it into a wand."

"So, it's okay to touch then." Ileana asked

"Yes, it is a blessed piece."

Ileana carefully picked up the wand and gave it a small flick. The wand responded by flooding the counter with roses. A strong feeling of boredom flooded through Ileana then trickled off but the feeling remained in her right hand, the one that held the wand. The feeling disappeared when she placed the wand back into the box.

"I think Jack was right about that last part." Ileana said. "It seems to be very bored, and it wants to let me know."

Ileana told them what had happened and everyone laughed.

"Alright, I'll have to charge you a little more than the regular price, because the wood is so rare, as well as the hair. It comes to about 10 Gold Galleons."

Ileana counted out 9 Gold galleons and 7 sickles.

"I was given enough for the regular price, and a little extra." She said

"Alright, give me the Galleons and do me a favor. Give this to the Weasley brothers." Joe said giving her a short and wide, white package."

"Sure, thank you." Ileana replied taking the box and gesturing to the twins, left the shop in high spirits, headed for the Weasley shop.
