Somewhere Over the Rainbow
CHAPTER: 3
Plagulus, the Wizard
"Oh, my Force, look at this place!" exclaimed Anakin, looking at the busy streets of Diagon Ally.
"It's full of life, to say the least," said Obi-wan, nodding his head in agreement. "Now, remember, Master Windu said we have to find his frinds, the Weasleys. They are supposably a big red headed family. Their son Ron is going to be in your year."
"7th?" asked Anakin.
"No, 4th," said Obi-wan, ready fo an explosion.
"WHAT!" yelled Anakin.
'Right on cue,' thought Obi-wan. "You are a late starter, Anakin. You'll just have to deal. Your lucky we aren't putting you in the 1st year."
"That's not fair!" stamped Anakin.
"Life isn't fair, Anakin. That's just you'll have to live with," said Obi-wan, sternly.
"Fine," said Anakin in a defeated voice.
"Now, let's get your stuff."

Anakin walked into the wand shop. No one was there. He started looking around. Soon a strange looking man walked into the wand shop.
"Hello, my dear boy. What is your name?" asked the stranger.
"Anakin, Anakin Skywalker," answered a wary Anakin.
"Ah, Skywalker. I was talking to Albus the other day. He told me all about you. A Jedi, huh? You won't find any of them here," said the strange man.
"You have the advantage sir. You know my name and occupation, yet I don't know yours," said Anakin.
"Olivander, Mr. Olivander. I own this shop. Let's get you a wand. Which is your wand arm?" asked Mr. Olivander.
"Huh?"
'Jedi,' thought Olivander,"The arm you use to wield a lightsaber."
"Oh, right."
Mr. Olivander started emptying his shelves. Every wand he gave to Anakin wasn't "the right one." Soon only one wand remained. It was marked, Wand of Plagulus. Do not sell.
"I wonder," said Mr. Olivander, looking at Anakin.
Mr. Olivander gave Anakin the wand. "Oh, yes! This is it!" cried Olivander, as Anakin felt a warm sensation near his fingers. "The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Skywalker."
"Really?"
"That will cost you 9 galleons."
Anakin gave him the money and turned to leave when he heard Mr. Olivander say," Interesting,"
"Excuse me," asked Anakin.
"Long time ago, there was a wizard that was so powerful and so feared that we didn't dare speak his name. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was more than a wizard. He was a Sith Lord. His master took on a new apprentice when he was done training him, but he was always He-Who-Must-Not-Ne-Named's soul confident. This man was also a wizard. Soon, the man's new apprentice killed him in his sleep. But, since I sold the wand, I got it. The wand you carry is the same exact one that he carried. The same exact one," concluded Mr. Olivander.
'So,' thought Anakin,' my wand is the wand of a Sith.'

Obi-wan Kenobi was waiting for his padawan outside the shop. Soon, Anakin was walking out with his new wand.
"Master, all I have left is my robes and books. I'll get them," said Anakin.
"I'll be in the Leaky Cauldron," said Obi-wan, walking away.
Anakin went off on his own. Not knowing that who he would soon meet would changed the way he looked at the Jedi teachings.
