Sorry for the long wait but i've been busy with school work. THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS!!


Dom, Kel and Neal once more walked up the steps to Dumbledore's office, dragging their feet. Kel, deep in thought was thinking about the students they had met tonight. Bill and Charlie, the two red heads they had been sitting next to seemed quite nice. Charlie was would be sharing a dorm with Neal and Dom, and Kel cringed at the trouble she thought those three would get up to. Bill on the other hand was a year older and seemed more laid back then his brother. Both tried to explain the complex lessons that herself, Neal and Dom would have to take but their words flew right over Kel's head. Even Neal 'the all knowing' had no clue what Quidditch was. While eating the friends had tried to ignore the comments being whispered about them.

The worst had been the group of green clad students sitting at the other end of the hall. They were at the point of shouting before Professor McGonagall had walked over and silenced them.

'Stupid Slytherins,' Charlie had said with his brother nodding in agreement. 'Always out to cause trouble.'

Kel was pulled out of her thoughts by Neal placing a hand on her shoulder. 'You ok Kel? You don't seem yourself.'

Kel was about to answer when a small man walked into the room, Dumbledore in tow. The small man just came up to Kel's shoulders and a long nose, which his glasses kept slipping down.

'Good-evening Students,' said Dumbledore breaking to silence. 'I won't keep you long, but before you can toddle off to bed we need to choose your wands.

This,' he said gesturing to the short man standing next to him. 'Is Mr Ollivander. He will be helping you choose your wands.'

The short man took a long look at Kel, Neal and Dom before speaking.

'First of all the person does not choose the wand, but the wand chooses the person.'

Neal made to speak but Kel cut him off with a dirty look.

'Tonight i have a few choices,' he continued, choosing to ignore the questioning look Neal through at him. 'If none of the wands i have here tonight suit you, tomorrow you will come to my shop. Now who will be first?'

Kel looked at Neal and Dom before speaking.

'I will Sir.' She said stepping forward.

The man measured Kel with quick movements, muttering 'Mhms,' and 'Ahhs,' the whole time. Finally putting down the tape he pulled a long wooden wand out of his bag.

'Now take this and give it a small wave,' he said handing the wand to Kel.

Kel took the wand which felt lighter then a feather after years of sword practice. She waved it quickly and then gasped in amazement when small golden sparks flew out the end.

'My dear,' Ollivander chuckled. 'You were a easy one to choose from. Now,' he said pointing to Dom. 'Will you be next?'

Dom slightly paled before answering. 'Of course Sir, i would be my pleasure.'

Kel watched as Ollivander now measured Dom, still making small noises. When he finished he passed Dom a wand slightly bigger then her own which she still held in her hand. He gave the wand a small wave but before he could even place his hand back by his side, it was snatched form his hand.

'No, no, no.' Ollivander said placing the wand back into his bag and pulling out another. 'This one may work,' he said handing Dom another wand smaller then the one she held.

Dom gave the wand a wave and went bright red when books flew off the shelves around the room.

'Nope not that one either.' He then handed Dom another, considerably smaller then the others.

Dom gave a small, hesitant wave and then gave a gasp when flowers grew for the end.

Ollivander gave a warm smile when he handed the wand back to Dom. 'Yes that's the one. Come now,' he said gesturing to Neal. 'Last but not least.'

Once more Kel watched as her friend was measured and when Neal was given the first wand to keep Kel was amazed that he could choose something so quickly and with out fuss.

Kel kept silent as Dumbledore and Ollivander spoke in quiet voices. '-What odd students they are.' She caught before he bid Dumbledore good-bye and left the room.

'Now students I believe it is time for you to go to bed. Tomorrow you have a busy day and on top of that i will organize sword practices for you, i suggest you go strait to bed when you arrive at the Common-Room.'

Kel walked down the steep stairs to the Common Room, careful not to wake anyone. She stepped of the stairway and looked around the dark room, spotting Dom and Neal she walked over to the fireplace. Kel sat down and looked at her two friends.

About to speak, Dom beat her to the punch.

'What's wrong Kel? You were acting really funny today, and don't use that 'stone' face we know you to well.'

Kel gave up trying to think of an accuse spoke the truth.

'Have you guys noticed anything strange about this place?' Seeing the two boys shake their heads she continued.

'It's the Palace. We never really left,' Kel continued speaking when she heard Neal and Dom's shocked gasps.
