Nina's POV
After breakfast the next day, the eight of us went up to Dumbledore's office like we were told. Hopefully, we were finally gonna get some answers.
"Good morning students," said Dumbldore as we walked in. There was another old man standing next to him. "Today is the day you will get your wands."
"Our whats?" Patricia demanded.
"Wands," Dumbledore repeated. "Every witch or wizard needs a wand to do magic."
"Dang, I was hoping it would be like- WOOOSH!" Alfie flapped his hands around dramatically. Dumbledore laughed.
"Unfortunately, no, it is not like that. You need a wand and to learn spells, which you will do here at Hogwarts." He said.
"Sweet! It'll be easier to prank-I mean help people!" Alfie exclaimed. Fabian and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes.
"Right you are Alfie, right you are!" said Jerome, getting a mischevious glint in his eye.
"Anyway," Dumbledore said, "Mr. Ollivander, a wandmaker, is here to help you choose your wands. Or, rather, have the wands choose you." He gestured to the man standing next to him.
he had wispy white hair and looked slightly crazy.
"Pleasure to meet you all," he said, looking us over. "If I could see...Mr. Campbell first please?"
Mick walked over to him. Ollivander held out a sack, and Mick reached in. When he pulled his hand out, he was holding a long, wooden stick. He looked at it curiously.
"Ah, nice choice. Oak and Unicorn hair." Ollivander said, looking at the wand as well.
"Unicorn hair?" Jerome and Alfie snickered.
"Shut it, Clarke." Mick scowled at them.
"Oh, I hope I get unicorn hair too! They're so pretty!" Amber said.
We went up in the same order that we were sorted. Finally it was my turn. Once again, I was nervous. What if there had been a mistake, and I wasn't a witch, but everyone else was?
What if no wand chose me? Would I be sent back to Anubis house, to live alone with Victor? Shudder! That would suck!
I tenatively reached into the bag. At first, I thought it was empty. But a few seconds later, my hand clasped around a wooden stick. I pulled it out.
Mr. Ollivander examined it closely. "Curious, very curious..." he muttered. "Chesnut and pheonix feather. Very interesting..." he studied me closely for a moment, then turned away and called Amber up.
Once we had all gotten our wands, Dumbledore spoke to us.
" I must warn you all that wands can be very dangerous tools." He said gravely. "You must not wave them around aimlessly, or try out spells before they are taught in class. The cosenquences could be...deadly."
We all nodded to show we understood. He handed us our schedules. I checked and saw that our first class started in half an hour. But it was called...Charms? What? I looked at the next class. Transfiguration. Then defense against the dark arts. Herbology. Potions. Divination. No maths, science or anything normal.
"What kind of classes are these?" Fabian asked, looking up from his schedule.
"I don't care, as long as I don't have french or history!" exclaimed Alfie.
"These are the kinds of classes at Hogwarts, where you learn magic." Dumbledore said.
"So...no science?" Mara looked crushed.
"No, but I am sure you will these classes much more enjoyable than science." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"At least theres still history." I said to Fabian.
"Yeah, History of Magic." he replied, sounding depressed.
"Geez, you guys are a big bunch of nerds!"Jerome said. "Only you, Mara, would be dissapointed about not having science anymore!"
"Ooooooh, is there a class in makeup?" Amber asked excitedly.
"Okay, I really don't care about the freaky classes. Why are we starting later than everyone else? What does Victor have to do with it? And Joy? And whats the deal with this Voldemort dude we heard about?" Patricia demanded.
"To answer your first question: You are starting later than everyone else because Victor has been holding up your letters. Victor is a very dangerous man, also a wizard, who wanted to contain your powers and keep them for himself. As for Joy, she is not a witch, so she was removed from the school. And I assume Mr. Potter has told you about his history with Voldemort.
Voldemort was a n extremely powerful and dangerous dark wizard. Harry almost destroyed him as a baby, and he has not been seen for 13 years. Do not worry about him." Dumbldore explained. " Do those answer your questions Miss Williamson?"
We were all too stunned to answer.
"Very well then, off to class." Dumbledore waved us out of his office.
I know the whole wand bag thing wasn't in the book, but the idea is that they reach in and the bag kinda makes whatever wand is suited for them. Yeah, I know, not possible but I didn't feel like making them try out all these wands. REVIEW PLEASE! Thanks =]
