Chapter 2: Newbies in Diagon Ally
Jason and Marcus picked themselves up from the floor. They didn't hear a man slide over on a ladder.
"Hello there" said the man. Jason and Marcus jumped a foot into the air.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. That happens a lot to my customers. I'm Mr. Ollivander and I take it you're buying your first wands."
"Uh, yeah."
"What is your magical gene?"
"We're direct decedents of Quinn Sullivan."
"You are his first decedents that are magical, am I correct?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It might take a while to pick out the right wands." Mr. Ollivander went to the multiple shelves in front of them. Some time past and Jason and Marcus tried to keep track of how many wands they went through. It was quite hard because they kept hearing distracting noises like: CRASH! BANG! RRIIPP!! Jason lost track after 26 and Marcus lost track after 49.
Finally, after a couple of hours, Marcus got his wand.
"8 inches, mahogany and unicorn hair. They go nice together" said Mr. Ollivander.
"I'll be right back Jason, I'm going to buy us a couple of owls" Marcus sliped his wand into his pocket and went out the door and raced up the street.
"You're a tricky one aren't you Mr. Fox. Don't worry, we'll find you a wand soon enough" About 34 tries later, Jason finally found a wand.
"10 inches, oak and dragon heartstring. A vary interesting combination" At that moment, Marcus came into the store with a cage with two Pigmy owls.
"Their names are JM and MJ. JM's yours."
Taking their new wands and owls the set off to get their school robes at Madam Malkin's robe shop. When they entered, the shop was practically empty except for a towhead boy waiting to get fitted.
"Hogwarts dears?" asked Madam Malkin.
"Yeah" said Jason and Marcus in unison.
"You can come back with this boy" She gestured toward the other boy. "It'll be just a second" she vanished into the back room.
"Hogwarts too?" asked the boy.
"Yup."
"Yep."
"My name is Malfoy. Draco Malfoy."
"Well I'm Bond. James Bond" said Jason
"Who's James Bond?" asked Malfoy.
"You've got to be kidding me. You don't know who James Bond is? You've must of had a vary sad childhood so far" said Marcus.
"Then I take it you two are muggle born. Well I'm a pureblood" Malfoy knew that he had to explain more from the expression on Jason and Marcus' faces. "It means that my family is all wizards and your isn't."
"Ah, ohhhhhh..." Jason and Marcus said sarcastically (and rolling their eyes).
"You three can come on back now" said Madam Malkin.
Jason, Marcus and Malfoy got onto the footstools in the back room. Madam Malkin snapped her fingers and three tape measures zoomed from a desk and started measuring them. Jason and Marcus were a bit startled, but Malfoy looked like he did this every day.
"Ah, you two are just the perfect average size. I have a couple per-made" She handed Jason and Marcus two robes. "10 galleons each" Jason and Marcus handed her 20 galleons and walked out of the store with their robes.
"Lets see, we need to get books next" said Jason and they walked into a store called Florish and Blotts. They walked in and found it a little packed. All they could see over the wave of heads was a very big man with a long beard yelling something like 'Leave Im' alone! He's only tryn' ter buy books!'. Jason and Marcus silently agreed that they were all nuts and went to go look for books in the loft above. After watching the oversized man leave, Jason and Marcus went to go buy their books. They needed a standard book of spells, a history book, magical theory book, a transfiguration book, plant book, potions book, wild animals book, and a defense against the dark arts book. After that they went to go buy the rest of the equipment and they were done.
"Man, I can't wait to see what kind of kooks go to this school. If their anything like that boy, this will be tough."
