Harry jumped in surprise and turned to see an ethereal looking old man coming out of the shadows. As she looked into his eyes Harry felt as though he could see into her soul.
Ollivander, for that is who he was, then turned to Severus and smiled, "Ah… Severus Snape, 15 inch Ash wand with a Dragon Heartstring core, good for hexes, how is that working out for you?"
"Very well, thank you," Severus responded. "Now Harry has something to show you that I think you may find very interesting." He motioned for Harry to take out her wand.
Carefully Harry did as Severus instructed and handed the wand over to Ollivander who took it reverently.
"My my my, what have we here," Ollivander mumbled to himself as he inspected the wand with great care.
"Merlin! It doesn't have a core, but then why does it seem to be infused with so much magic?" As if having forgotten that Harry and Severus where in the room, Ollivander went off with the wand to one of the back rooms and began running all sorts of tests.
After what seemed to be ages Ollivander returned with a large smile on his face. "Harry, it looks like I will have to create a special wand just for you! I haven't made a custom wand in ages, this will be interesting indeed." Harry looked over at Severus with wide eyes. He in turn looked just as surprised.
All along Ollivander was digging through various drawers bulling out what seemed to be miscellaneous objects and placing them on the counter in front of him. Then he beckoned Harry to move her hand above each object and told her to let him know what she felt with each one. Severus leaned forward with interest watching as Harry put her hand above each object and described what she felt.
It wasn't until the ninth object that something happened. As soon as Harry moved her hand above what seemed to be a scale it started glowing and shooting off sparks.
Ollivander clapped in delight and immediately took the scale and said, "The Chimera Scale, a very rare, yet powerful magical core, paired with your maple branch you will have a very interesting set of skills I am sure." Then he went back into his workroom and started putting together a wand for Harry.
At this point Severus had become somewhat impatient and turned to Harry. "I think that I will go to the apothecary and buy your potions supplies for you. When you are finished here, meet me at Flourish and Blots, the bookstore at the front of the Alley understand?" he asked. Harry nodded and then Severus proceeded out the door.
It took Ollivander another twenty minutes to complete the wand and when he finally gave it to Harry. As she took it, for the first time ever, she felt tingles racing up her arm and into her center. She felt complete for the first time. Just to test it she performed the first spell she ever learned and was surprised by the results.
The book that Harry had been aiming at shot into the air and hit the ceiling with a large thump. Harry squeaked in surprise and lost her concentration, causing the book to fall back to the ground.
"Well Harry," Ollivander said ominously, "it looks like you will have to learn how to control your wand a little better, but I believe that you will be able to do great things, just as the one who gave you your scar did great things, terrible yes, but great."
