George watched with interest as the girls looked around the shop, oohing and aahing at everything they liked. He saw the ethnic girl – Tarami or something – looking at the fake wands.
"Wands!" George said. "Dad! The girls still need wands! Get over to Ollivanders!"
"Ollivanders! Righty-o! Come along girls!" Mr Weasley rounded up the gang and they trooped off down the road to Ollivanders.
000000000000000
"In you go, dears." Mrs Weasley said, "We'll wait outside."
Will looked at the sign hanging outside the shop. 'Ollivanders – best wandmakers since 1654' it might be different in the book, I dunno her gaze drifted down to the front of the shop. It doesn't look like much cop she thought. The windows were grubby and hard to see through. The wood outside was dry and rotting. It didn't look inviting at all.
But nevertheless, Will entered the shop followed by the rest of the group.
Cling cling! The rusty old bell announced their arrival.
Looking around, they noticed that there were shelves upon shelves of rectangular boxes.
There must be thousands! Will thought, staring around her.
"Hello? Anybody home?" Cornelia called out.
Silence was her reply.
"Do you suppose we pick a box and go?" Irma said, going up to a shelf and reaching for a tube.
"Hello Guardians."
Irma jumped and turned round, her face white. Will looked at the owner of the voice. He was and old aging man with snow-white hair. Will immediately thought of Einstein, seeing certain similarities between the two.
"Will! That's just rude!" Taranee said, reading her friend's thoughts.
Will stuck her tongue out at her best bud, who retaliated with a playful punch on the arm.
"Who are you?" Hay Lin asked curiously.
"I am Mr Ollivander. And you, Guardians of the Veil, what are you doing here?"
Will stopped fooling around with Taranee. She was surprised that a wandmaker would know of them. "You've heard of us?" she asked.
"There has been legends going around," he said. "Now, I presume you are looking for some wands?"
"Yes, sir." Taranee said. "We're starting Hogwarts this year."
"I see. You must be the fire handler." He said.
Taranee nodded, blushing slightly.
"Well let's see what we can do for you. Follow me please."
Mr Ollivander turned down an 'alleyway' and Taranee gave Will a pleading look before following him. Will giggled. Taranee had certainly changed a lot since they had first started out as Guardians, but she was the same old Taranee deep down.
Will turned her eyes to Hay Lin and Irma, who were looking at the towers of boxes.
Irma was frowning at the amount of dust on the shelves and Hay Lin was just watching her.
"Hey, look at this one!" smiled Irma, taking down a really old, really dusty tube. "It's like a little mountain of dust molecules." It was true; you could barely see the navy box underneath the heap of dust.
Irma closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Blowing out, she opened her eyes and watched the dust float away in its thousands of atoms. She then gave out a little cry when it all came back into her face. She started coughing and waved her hand in front of her face.
Will watched Hay Lin laugh and giggle until Irma's coughing turned into choking. Irma stumbled back and Hay Lin immediately created a small tornado to blow the dust away.
Hay Lin rushed to her best friend and put Irma's arm over her shoulders, to help her stand.
"Are you alright?" she asked worriedly
"What would I do without you?" Irma said, giving her a humongous hug.
Hay Lin gave Irma an understanding smile and grasped her hand, friendily intertwining fingers.
They've gone through so much together. Will thought, smiling as she watched the two. Will had watched them become closer than sisters over the years. The bond of friendship was incredible. To know what each other is thinking, feeling, wanting… sort of like Taranee and me. Although Will had to admit, she did feel a pang of jealousy when Taranee chose to stay with Hermione, and not with the Weasleys.
Will came back to earth when she felt a hand on her arm. Cornelia's. Will looked at her friend. "It's beautiful to watch, isn't it?" Cornelia said softly, looking wistfully at Irma and Hay Lin.
"Yeah, it is." Will nodded. She thought that she and Cornelia had grown closer sine saving Metamoor three years ago. But she knew that she could never replace Elyon as Cornelia's best friend.
Flashback
Cornelia's P.O.V
"Elyon! Can't you see what Phobos is doing?" Cornelia cried, dodging the axes and swords that were being thrown at her.
It was the final battle in Metamoor. The rebels were putting up a particularly good fight, killing 3 bad guys when they were killing 1 good guy at a time. A ratio of 3/1, so they were doing pretty well. Cornelia was trying to get through to Elyon, who was sending light balls at her very ferociously.
"Yes! He gave me a home, love and a wonderful kingdom!" Elyon shouted back, whipping up a ball of gold magic and chucking it at her former friend.
Cornelia screamed as the magic caught her left wing, burning half of it off.
Elyon gasped in horror as Cornelia fell into a 100ft drop. That wasn't supposed to happen! Why didn't she dodge it?
Cornelia was terrified. Images of her life passed through her mind. Her and the Guardians hanging out at the mall, her and the Guardians practising techniques at Shell cave, her and Elyon swapping notes in class, kissing Caleb, her and Elyon trying to dissect a frog in biology, her and Elyon, her and Elyon, her and Elyon…
"ELYON!" Cornelia screamed. Then, more softly, "Goodbye." Her eyes brimmed with tears and she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact.
Whump! Cornelia opened her eyes and saw a cheeky grin looking down at her.
"Leaving us so soon, Corny?"
Cornelia gaped as she looked into the eyes of the person who saved her life – Irma Lair! "Oh, thank God." Cornelia cried – literally – on the water Guardian's shoulder, while encircling her arm around her colleague's neck.
Irma flew Cornelia up to the ledge Elyon was standing on, and put her down gently, carefully avoiding her wing. "I reckon when we get back, Grandma Lin should look at that." Irma said, talking about her friend's wing.
Cornelia nodded and lightly touched her toasted wing and winced in pain. She looked at Irma who saluted her and then flew down to help Taranee with some thugs.
Cornelia turned to Elyon, whose face was pearly white. The Earth Guardian took a few unbalanced steps forward. "Elyon… Elyon, please."
"No!" Elyon held up her hand. Cornelia sighed and looked away. "You are right."
Cornelia looked back in surprise.
"I almost killed you. My best friend. And yet you come back willing to risk your life once again."
"I just don't want to see you hurt." Cornelia said weakly.
Elyon took Cornelia's hand and said; "Let's go kick some Phobos butt!"
Cornelia saw Elyon focus hard on something and then she was almost blinded by a white light. She shielded her eyes from pain and was thankful when the light faded.
Cornelia was in Phobos' throne room, and he and Caleb were fighting magic to sword.
The other Guardians were there too, and Hay Lin fell down from her punching position and Taranee immediately scowled at Elyon, not forgiving her from trapping her in a lone bubble.
Cornelia looked at Caleb, but didn't say anything; she didn't want to break his concentration. But Phobos apparently wanted the opposite.
"Guardians! How nice of you to join us!" He said, ignoring Caleb for a moment.
Caleb's head turned and he smiled. Cornelia smiled back and then gasped when a mist of black smoke filled the room.
Cornelia walked back and bumped into some one. "Who's that?" she whispered
"It's Will. Are you okay?" Will grasped her arm in the darkness.
"My wing hurts like no tomorrow, but I'm fine. Why is it dark?"
"I don't know. Taranee!" Will called out. "Could you give us some light?"
"Okay. One sec."
Cornelia watched two fireballs float out of Taranee's hand and around the room. One went over to Phobos and over to where Caleb was. Or wasn't.
Caleb's sword lay flat on the floor, as did his bow and arrows. But where Caleb should be, a lone red flower was in his place.
"No!" Cornelia cried, running over to the plant and picking it up gingerly. "No. Not Caleb. Not my Caleb."
The mist departed and Phobos was laughing cruelly. "So ends the life of the rebel leader!" He waved his hand and the crying Cornelia was sent flying backwards into a wall.
"Cornelia!" The guardians shouted, running over. Elyon lifted Cornelia's arm to help her stand.
Cornelia's face was etched with pain. She had a bruise forming on her forehead but she was looking at the flower to make sure it wasn't damaged. She turned to look at Phobos with anger and hate in her eyes.
"YOU!" She yelled with loathing, taking broad steps toward him, "YOU WILL PAY!" She slammed a free hand onto the floor and created an earthquake. She commanded the ceiling to fall in. She sent an entire wall in his direction. All of this he blocked with a flick of a finger.
"Come on!" Will shouted, running forward to help. Cornelia saw Will sent a long-lasting energy beam at Phobos and put a green earth green into it. "Combine!" She shouted.
Even with the strength of all the Guardians and Elyon, Phobos was only shocked, not badly hurt.
"Aargh!" Cornelia shouted, breaking the connection in exhaustion. "It's not working!"
One by one, the connection failed, leaving them panting. Irma was gasping for breath on Hay Lin's shoulder, who was leaning on Irma as well. Taranee was on the floor by Will and Elyon was the only one still standing.
Taranee tried to summon up a stream of lava, but it just came out as a trickle.
"No! You are going to pay!" Cornelia shouted. She threw a boulder at him, and weakened from the attack, she expected it to do a whole lot of damage. Instead of doing major damage, Phobos absorbed the energy Cornelia used to throw the rock, healing his wounds.
"This is not right." Elyon murmured. "There is only one way." She walked up to Cornelia, and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry." She said.
Cornelia touched her cheek as she watched Elyon walk towards Phobos. She looked at Will in confusion but Will just returned the look. Cornelia turned back to Elyon, who was now emitting a golden light around her body.
"Brother! You have played with my mind, made me believe what is wrong. But now it ends here!"
"No!" Phobos cried.
Elyon got brighter and brighter, and, swooping down, she ----
Flashback abruptly ends
"Cornelia!"
Cornelia snapped out of the past and back into the present when somebody called her name. "Uh – what?" Her voice was heavy and sad, and tears were falling from her blue eyes.
"What's the matter?" It was Will who had called her, and it was Will who asked the question. "N-Nothing. I'm fine." Cornelia said, wiping her eyes.
Wills P.O.V
Will wasn't convinced when Cornelia said she was ok. She knew by the Heart that Cornelia cried herself to sleep every night. She also knew that Cornelia was thinking about Elyon and Caleb, how she had lost two of the most important people in her life in one day.
Will turned round when she heard footsteps coming toward them.
"Hey guys!" It was Taranee with her new, wine-red wand.
"Nice." Will said, nodding at it.
"Isn't it?" Taranee burbled, "Dragon heartstring, Oak."
"Are you ready, Miss Vandom?" Cut in the voice of Mr Ollivander.
Will didn't bother to ask how he knew her name, so she just nodded and followed him down a set of corridors.
"This is the most dangerous bit of the shop." Mr Ollivander said, "It contains the most powerful wands in the world. And I might not be wrong about giving you this," he pulled out a pearly-white box, "to try. Give it a wave."
Will opened the box and took out an ice-white wand. She shuddered involuntarily at the feel of it; it sent horrid chills right down her spine. But she gave it a flick and to her astonishment, little, mean, evil-looking creatures with green scaly skin and red slittish eyes appeared from the tip.
"No… no." Mr Ollivander murmured, waving his own wand to make the creatures vanish. "Too dark."
He put the wand on the floor and he started walking away and Will jumped to follow him.
He led her to a lighter part of the 'dangerous bit' and Will's shivers disappeared completely and she felt a lot better. Her host flickered through the boxes, looking for one in particular. "Aha!" he said.
"Miss Vandom, take this." he opened the box and drew out a black wand. Handing it to her, Will found herself smiling. It was one of the most beautiful items she had ever seen, despite the colour. She brushed a finger down it, and it sent pleasant tingles through her body. He hair blew in an invisible wind and her eyes lit up joyfully.
"The wand chooses the wizard, Miss Vandom." Mr Ollivander commented. "And it looks like this one has chosen you!"
"May I ask what it is made of?" Will said, giving the wand a little wave, making pink sparks shoot out of it to her delight.
"You may. It might not look like it, but the wood of the wand is the bark of the Sakura or Cherry Blossom tree. Very good for Defence Against the Dark Arts. It has in it the flesh of the griffin, which in itself is very rare. But the thing that makes this wand the rarest in the world…" Mr Ollivander paused, his eyes twinkling, "… is that it is varnished with the blood of Horus, the Egyptian sky god."
Will gaped. "Horus?"
"What you have to understand is that the Egyptians lived thousands of years ago. That is why the wand is black. The blood that varnished it has dried out. But now it has found its partner, you might find it changing colour."
Will nodded dumbly. Her wand was the rarest in the world! And it had the blood of an Egyptian god on it! Whoa!
Mr Ollivander chuckled slightly at Will's reaction. He started leading the way back to her friends.
"Hey, Will! Let's see!" Cornelia said, coming up to meet her. Will held up her wand.
"That's pretty nifty." She said.
"Griffin flesh and Sakura bark." Will said, leaving out her new god friend.
Will moved away to Taranee while Cornelia got her own wand.
"Can I have a look?" Taranee said.
"Sure." Will handed her wand to Taranee, who looked at it in awe.
"It's turning a little reddish." Taranee pointed out.
"Yeah, the blood is warming up." Will said.
"Blood? I thought it was Griffin flesh."
"Well, yeah, but it's varnished," Will lowered her voice to a whisper, "with the blood of Horus."
Taranee's eyes popped. "Really? The Egyptian god!"
Will nodded. "But don't tell the others yet. I wanna, you know, keep it low key."
Taranee smiled and nodded as well.
The friends turned their attention to Hay Lin, who was being told that her wand was 'graced with the tail of a centaur.' And apparently, centaurs were very good Seers and Hay Lin must have the markings of one too.
Irma received the wand she was looking at earlier. 'The hair of the mermaid. It took me forever to get my hands on that.'
And Cornelia acquired 'the venom of the deoxy. Excellent for Herbology.'
The girls left the shop and met up with Mr and Mrs Weasley.
"Got your wands?" Arthur said. "Good. While we're around here, we might as well get your robes. To Madame Malkins!"
So the gang entered the robe shop and left with a plain black robe each. Their house emblem would appear on it after they had been sorted. They also left with a nifty belt each with a little loop on it to store your wand. So each Guardian got one the colour of their element.
Adjusting her new belt, Will walked back into Fred and George's shop.
"Alrighty then, ladies! Feel free to look around and as our honoured guests, anything you want is one the house!" Fred said, clapping Irma on the back, making her blush.
The others moved away, talking excitedly. Before Will did though, she heard Fred call Irma 'one heck of a hottie' and George HHay Hay Lin 'a rose with no thorns'.
Will smiled and went to talk to Harry. "This is really cool." She said, looking at the Skiving Snackboxes and distraction robots picking up a few.
"Yeah, you are. I mean, it is." Harry flustered.
Will blushed and went over to Ginny. "What are those?" she asked Ginny, who was looking into a box of fluffy squeaking balls.
"Pygmy Puffs." Ginny replied, tickling a purple one. "I've already got one, Arnold, but I thought he might like some company.
"They're really cute." Will said, getting her dormouse (Tuffy) out and showing him the furry little things. "What do you think, Tuffy? Want a companion?"
The little dormouse squeaked and Will stowed him in her jumper. "I think that's a yes." She said, picking up a furry ball. "This way, we can both have a Puff and neither Tuffy nor Arnold will get lonely!" she added to Ginny, who 'aahed' at Will's dormouse.
"Name?" Ginny asked, stroking the pink one Will picked up.
"Fuzzbal."
Ginny laughed, "Very original," she said. "Take him to Fred or George and they'll give you a leaflet on taking care of them.
Will nodded, and showed Fuzzbal to George, who did indeed give her a leaflet and instructions.
After whizzing back to the Weasley's fireplace, Will entered her and Ginny's shared room and watched Fuzzbal, Arnold and Tuffy play together happily. With her wand in her belt, a newfound friend, and friends all around her, Will had never felt more happy.
