Harry is happy to get his wand today. All his friends and family are with him as they all are going to the muggle water park after getting his wand from ollivander. They have decided to go to muggle world and enjoy there to avoid the crazy people who all are celebrating birthday of Boy-Who-lived today
"Playing water sports would be awesome on this hot day" Neville
"I enjoyed the rain dance we did last year"Hannah
"Yess but the best were those roller coaster rides"Susan
"And that is the reason you will be a Gryffindor big sis" Harry said teasing Susan as he opened the gate of Ollivander.
"Don't be so mean Little bro" Susan
All her friends know she wants to be an Hufflepuff just like her parents. Infact if she had not dreamed of living in the same house as her parents then she would have avoided Hogwarts at all cost. Bones Mansion got destroyed in the last war. When the death eaters killed his parents, they destroyed the mansion as well as all the possessions of her parents. She has never had anything related to her parents all her childhood. And now she believes that Hogwarts is the last place she can connect with her parents.
"Like you can even enter the Gryffindor common room" Charlie said sneering.
All were shocked to see one another at Ollivander. Charlie was being measured by the tape and his parents were standing in the corner with murderous look at all of them.
"I think he is right Susan with him being there with his ego no one will get any space to even stand in the common room" Neville said nonchalantly.
"Dad get them out of here now. They all are ruining my day"
"And how will your father do it Daddy's boy. Have you forgotten your social standing?" asked Sirius gazing at James
"What is he saying dad. I am the boy-who-lived. My social status is above all the other citizens."
Before Sirius could say anything the wand maker said "There is no need to fight near my wands as they might react to all the emotional magic"
Ollivander came out from the back with some wands and then gave them to Charlie one after the another without any effect untill he got one from the back which gave a stream of red and gold sparks from the end when Charlie took it.
Ollivander cried, "Oh, bravo! Yes, indeed, oh, very good. Well, well, well... how curious... how very curious..."
Lily and James looked at each other end frowned "what's curious?"
"I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mrs Potter. Every single wand. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your son's wand, gave another feather -- just one other. It is very curious indeed that he would be destined for this wand when its brother -- why, its brother gave him that scar."
"Curious indeed Mr Ollivander so it can be said that we are meeting our new dark lord" said Alice with sarcastic smile
Lily gave them all a murderous look " Let's go Charlie we need to meet Weasley and complete our shopping"
"Now back to business, Harry needs a wand Mr Ollivander" Sirius
Mr. Ollivander fixed Harry with his palestare "If I am not mistaken Mr black a wand has already chosen you."
Harry "No Mr Ollivander a wand has a connection to my family magic but I have never connected with it. I am here to get my first wand sir."
"Hmmm," said Mr. Ollivander, giving Harry a piercing look. "Well, now -- Mr.Black Let me see." He pulled a long tape measure with silver markings out of his pocket. "Which is your wand arm?"
"I'm right-handed," said Harry.
"Hold out your arm. That's it." He measured Harry from shoulder to finger, then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit and round his head. As he measured, he said, "Every Ollivander wand has a core of a powerful magical substance, Mr. Black. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, and the heartstrings of dragons. No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons, or phoenixes are quite the same. And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard's wand."
Mr. Ollivander then went flitting around the shelves, taking down boxes. "That will do," he said, and the tape measure crumpled into a heap on the floor. "Right then, Mr. Black. Try this one. Beechwood and dragon heartstring. Nine inches. Nice and flexible. Just take it and give it a wave."
Harry took the wand and waved it around a bit, but Mr. Ollivander snatched it out of his hand almost at once.
"Maple and phoenix feather. Seven inches. Quite whippy. Try--"
Harry tried -- but he had hardly raised the wand when it, too, was snatched back by Mr. Ollivander.
"No, no -- here, ebony and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches, springy. Go on, go on, try it out."
Harry tried. And tried. He had no idea what Mr. Ollivander was waiting for. The pile of tried wands was mounting higher and higher on the spindly chair, but the more wands Mr. Ollivander pulled from the shelves, the happier he seemed to become.
"Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry we will find the right match for you Mr Black."
Then he went to the last row and bought two boxes." Well Mr Black Usually I sell to my customers crafted wands but in every other decade there comes a customer who is not choosen by the wand and then I make a personalized wand. These are the two boxes which contain wood block and cores. I will open them and you will then move your hand above each one of them. You have to tell me which one of them connects to your magic."
Harry was happy to get a personalized wand from the best wand maker of Britain. But he was a bit nervous too. "How will I know that the block and core has connected to my magic"
"You will feel elation and a boost of energy when you will come near the core and wood block."
"Okay"
Ollivander opened the first box although it was small in size from outside but when he opened it, it was in the size of a big room. Harry went inside it. There were lot of shelves. All the shelves were filled with woods of different patterns and colors. Harry went to each and every shelf and put his hand over the wood. At last he felt a strong magical pull towards a shelf. When he went near the shelf he felt very happy. The feeling of elation came from a hard yellow-white wood.
"This one"
"That is elder wood Mr Black. It is a very difficult wood to tame and one of the best wood for wand but difficult to make into a wand. And now let's go to the core box."
Harry then went in the second box. Everything was same. Only the cores have replaced the woods.So Harry started the same process. As Harry knew what to do he closed his eyes and try to feel the pull he felt before. But this time he felt the pull from two different direction. Harry went to the first shelf but it contains an empty jar. He looked at it confused.
Ollivander "You don't see anything"
"No"
Ollivander "It's a Thestral hair Mr Black. Thestral are considered the magical creature of death as a person who has seen death can only see them. They are also believed to be the omen of death. Your wand will be ready in an hour Mr Black"
"I can feel the same pull which I have felt for this core from the other side of the room sir."
Ollivander raised an eyebrow and gesture him to move ahead. Harry went to the opposite shelf and found a glittering black feather.
"Interesting Mr Black, you are connected to two cores which are totally different in nature. Where Thestral are death omens, this is a pheonix feather who are symbol of life."
"Aren't pheonix orange and red in colour sir?" Harry
"Yess Mr Black. Fire pheonix are orange and red. But there also air and water pheonix. Pheonix are elemental in nature so all elements have there own pheonix. Air pheonix are black and blue in colour and water pheonix are blue and white in colour. Fire pheonix and water pheonix can be still found but air pheonix are rarely spot. We have this feather from generations and still have not got another till now. Your wand will have two cores which is rare but not unheard off.The cores will be combined with the help of runes hence will take time so come back in two hours and get your wand Mr Black "
"Okay Mr Ollivander"
Harry came out of the box and told his family that they have to wait for two hours. So they all decided to go to seperate shops to complete there shopping for the school and meet at Ollivander in two hours.
Every one then went to do some shopping. After two hours they came back to Ollivander. Harry then bought his wand. They all then went to the muggle world to enjoy Harry's birthday.
Harry is happy to have a family which loves him. He still fears that it's a dream and will end one day. He remember those days his family was not there for him. Potters never wanted to associate with him. They always made him feel unwanted and unworthy. Sirius has done everything in his power to eradicate this feeling but still he sometimes doubt himself.
