OMG MY 4th CHAPTER TODAY! I'm on top of the world baby (actually everyone is because we can't walk through the Earth, if we could we would have already died, but that's beside the point.) Let's get going!
Disclaimer: (I NEED HELP COMING UP WITH A GOOD ONE)
On with the story…
Malfoy's POV (you suck Malfoy) (sorry I just had to get that out there)
He snuck a peak behind him at the strange group of kids. They had a talking dog, were extremely claustrophobic, had separation problems, startle easily, know how to fist fight, and called themselves a 'flock'. Those people were odd; no wonder they hang out with Potter and the Weasleys. He shook his head to clear it. He and his father were following them around trying to find out what they were. They certainly weren't normal people.
They were heading over to Olivander's to get wands. *This should be interesting.* Mr. Weasley went right on in and rang the bell for service. The dirty blonde haired one, Max snatched it out of his hand and held her other hand to her ear. The others were wincing or moaning or in the black girl's case talking nonstop. She seemed to do that a lot. The dog had passed out and was moaning something about champagne. A corner of Draco's mouth twitched. He added 'have sensitive ears' to the list of oddities.
Olivander came out of the back room to see what the ruckus was. "Hello Harry Potter, Molly, Arthur, Ronald, Hermione Granger, What brings you back to my shop?" Potter, Granger, and the Weasleys all said hello.
Draco hated Hermione Granger. *Last year the Mudblood punched me and broke my nose. Every time I think of that thing my nose burns.* That stupid cat of hers annoyed him as well. It didn't like Draco and often tried to bite him. Needless to say she hated him as well.
"Well we have some friends that need wands." Potter said. "Ah and these friends are called?" Olivander asked. The girl named Max stepped up first. "I'm Maximum Ride, though everyone calls me Max." Fang, Potter's twin stepped up next. "Fang Potter." That got a raised eyebrow but nothing more. "I'm Iggy." The other tall boy said. "Are you blind?" Olivander asked. "Yes." Hmm… "I'm Nudge and it's very nice to meet you! I'm so excited to get my wand. Harry said the wand chooses the wizard I wonder what kind of wand I'll get! Maybe it'll have-" Iggy smacked a hand over her mouth. "Sorry about her." He said. Olivander only smiled, "It's alright I already have an idea about what wand she'll receive." Draco heard Nudge squeal into Iggy's hand. "I'm the Gasman. Yes that is my real name, and trust me you don't want to know why. You can call me Gazzy, Gasser, Gaz, anything." He said. Olivander merely smiled. "I'm Angel, Gazzy is my biological brother, but we're all siblings except Fang and Max. They're dating." The dog jumped into her arms and said, Hi I'm Total the talking, flying dog." He spread his wings and flew up onto Angel's shoulder. "How amazing Malay's Mutants are. I think I might get one too." He said.
That was the absolute wrong thing to say. "How dare you! I wasn't created by this Malay person! Ugh! I was kidnapped from a human hospital and changed into this thing. I didn't start out as a dog I started out as a human being. I can prove it look at my paws. Do you see any claws there? No, they're tiny stunted fingers! Human fingers!" he huffed. The Flock looked angry. "Who is this Malay person?" Max asked angrily. "Oh my I didn't mean offense, I'm so sorry. I'll tell you where her store's at when you have received your wands. Just give me a few minutes." He said, shocked.
Olivander disappeared into the back room and reappeared quickly with a huge stack of wands. He set them in front of the dog and said, "Here try these. You might be able to grip it with your fingers. Try it." He said before disappearing. Draco watched fascinated as the dog concentrated and extracted its fingers. "I can do it!" he cried and licked Angel. Gross. She just smiled and handed him a wand box. It took him a bit to remember how to use his fingers, but he got the lid off and picked up the tiniest wand Draco had ever seen. "Just wave it around." Potter said. And there was a poof as Nudges hair was electrocuted. She screamed until Mr. Weasley fixed it. "Not that one." Granger said trying to hide her smile. The dog groaned. Man it's hard to try to pick something up with five fingers and a paw. At least I have opposable thumbs." He grumbled as he continued going through the pile. He picked out the last wand –a good, white, solid, light weight one by the look of it, and tried it. There was a flash and… *Wait is that a hamburger? A hamburger. The dog, Total waves his wand and a hamburger appears? Hah. That's hilarious.* The others didn't think that though they all reached for it as Total grabbed it up in his mouth and swallowed it whole. He waved the wand again and 18 hamburgers appeared which the Flock, and surprisingly Potter, ate with fervor.
"Ah that one? I had a feeling young man." Olivander said as he walked over with another stack of wands. He sat them in front of Angel and said, "Try these child I have a good feeling about these three though," he said motioning to three wands at the top of the pile, "so you can start with those." He was correct after one window breakage and a moustache ripping of a passerby, she finally tried the white wand it was of a strange wood that shone like marble. It seemed to be really bendy. She tried it and a tiara formed itself atop her head. It was gold and encrusted with rubies. "Yay! Just what I needed! A tiara to match my dress!" she cried absolutely thrilled. They waited impatiently for Olivander to come back from the shelves.
He finally emerged with four longer wands. It was either Fang or Iggy then. "Iggy these are the four that stand out for you the most." He proclaimed and ran back into the shelves. He picked up the white wand. What is it with these people and white wands? They are so rare, but three people in one day have gotten one and they are all Flock members. "I can see it! It's white and as long as it stays near darker colors I can see it!" he yelled and started to dance and waved it. *What is he talking about? He can only see the difference between light and shade? That's odd.* all thought process was erased from my eyes when a white Rolex watch appeared on his wrist. It had black numbering so that he could read it. He looked so happy. A hamburger? A tiny tiara? A watch? Why were they getting what they wanted? More importantly why did they want such silly and inconsequential things? They were all enigmas.
"Nudge sweetheart try this one, as soon as I saw it I knew it was yours." He said and gave the box to her with a flourish. It was…white. Why are they all getting white wands? Well she squealed and exuberantly waved it. Thank goodness it was super bendy otherwise she would have broken it. She screamed because her wand had conjured up ten fashion magazines. Why fashion magazines? That one topped the others on the silliest wants list.
Olivander reappeared behind the Gasman and offered him a wand. "This is yours I am sure of it." The Gasman took it and waved it. Guess what color the wand was? White. Again. "Whoa sweet I've always wanted one of these!" It was a lock picking kit. It wasn't even a good one, but he was grinning ear to ear. Idiot.
"Max your wand was harder to find, but I'm sure it's this one." He said and handed it to her. "Be careful it truly is one of a kind." He warned before going back into the store. She examined it warily for some reason. It was beautiful. It was white and silver swirled and had this aura about it that told of its power. *That's why she examined it first.* She waved it gently, but perfectly and a book appeared. She stared at it oddly. "That's not what I wanted, but I don't think there is a way for me to get what I wanted anyway."She said dejectedly, but perked up immediately. "Oh well I will look at this book later and see what it's all about. Now let's see what Fang's wand does!"
At that moment Olivander came out of the maze with three wands. One was a pure white, the other a dark pitch black, and the last a silver and black swirled wand. Draco knew which one it would be before his hand automatically reached for it. He waved it like Max- as if he'd been waving wands all his life and a book appeared. It was the opposite of Max's. Hers was white with silver clasps and bindings as well as a moonstone key. On the front there was a pair of multicolored wings. They were predominately white but had tan brown and black spots. On the back there were blue black wings that actually shone with brilliance. Fang's was black with silver bindings and clasps, and a hematite key. On his the Black wings were on the front cover and the multicolored wings were on the back. Their books resembled their wands in coloring.
"May I speak with you two for a moment?" Olivander asked Max and Fang. They nodded and went back in the shelving. Olivander muttered something in a low voice and suddenly the Malfoys couldn't hear anything they were saying. He pulled them back into an office and Draco couldn't see them either.
I know you've been listening to us. I would leave us alone. Those who don't, often suffer greatly Draco Malfoy.
They walked away. Draco was mulling over what the 'voice' had told him. Which one was it?
Angel.
