Hello, again. Let's skip the formalities this time. Enjoy!

"Fera Verto!" As I yelled the incantation there was a large explosion and a loud popping noise. Smoke filled the air around my desk. I could hear James laughing which in turn made me laugh. The smoke finally cleared, allowing me to see that my Transfiguration spell kind of succeeded. Sort of. Okay, it didn't at all. In fact the mouse was dead and I was covered in soot. I continued to laugh, until I noticed my wand. It was broken into five different pieces.

James also stopped laughing, becoming strangely serious. Professor McGonagall came over, a look of disapproval mounted on her face.

"This is a serious matter, Mr. Mottac. You'll have to go to town and find a replacement immediately. Since you have proven thus far that you're incompetent, I'll have to ask you to bring somebody with you on your errand." I stood up, sad and ashamed. I looked over at James and said,

"C'mon, let's go." We quietly left the classroom. Once out I said to James,

"I have no idea where to get another wand." James didn't look surprised.

"I do." He replied. I followed him out of the castle and into town, not asking any questions. We came across a building with a sign saying "Ollivander's". I assumed that this was the place to get a wand. As we entered there was a small ding of a bell, announcing that we had entered.

"Excuse me!" James practically yelled, "We need a wand." A very old looking man peered around a corner to see who it was.

"Very good, I'll be right with you." He said. After a very long waiting period Mr. Ollivander finally came around. He stood there in front of me, looking me up and down.

"A little old for getting your first wand, aren't you?" He asked, not expecting an answer.

"My old wand broke." I said, handing him a small bag which contained my wand, or what was left of it. He lifted out a piece of the wand and inspected it.

"Ah! What is this? Kelpie hair wand core and sycamore wood. Very firm and roughly nine inches. This wand is, simply, crap. Who uses kelpie hair anymore?" He handed back my wand and rummaged among his stacks of wands, looking for a right one.

"This shan't take long at all." Ollivander exclaimed. After a while longer he stopped his search

"This should do." He handed me a box, which I proceeded to open. It contained a wand that was twelve and three quarter inches long, apple with dragon heartstring. It felt wonderful in my hand.
"Go ahead, try it out." He encouraged me. I stepped out of the shop and aimed my wand sky-ward.

"Incendio!" I shouted. A huge plume of flame shot forth from my wand, filling the air. James looked stunned.

"That was massive!" Said he who stood all amazed.
