Hey, quick update! For RileyPoole'swhiskeygirl. She wanted this chapter, so here it is. Love you girlie! Chapter three will be longer. Hope you like it, when I get five reviews I will update.
"Yes, Miss Hart, this wand is perfect for you," I looked at the 9" Willow, Phoenix feather wand that I had just gotten from Ollivander's as I remembered his words "This kind of wood and core is good for charms, and you're a charming young lady, so I think it fits."
"Beautifu--I mean--short like you," Draco told me, as he walked into the wand shop, followed by his day. When he said this, Brett paid for the wand that I was waving around making swish-swish noises. I smiled at Draco. I compared myself to him, I was a bit smaller, but it didn't matter, even though I pretended that it hurt me, so maybe it would help his dad ignore the 'beautiful' comment.
"Brett, hurry, I don't want these--Malfoys" I spat the name "--To continue bugging me about my height." I told my older brother, who had taken my wand and put it in the box after paying for it. I started trying to pull my brother out of the shop.
"No Kari, I want this little punk to be ni-" Brett began, but I tugged on him.
"No, you have an owl to buy pellets for, and I want an owl so I can communicate with Brendan using my own owl." I said, using his prized owl, Berit as a reason to leave. He nodded and let me pull him out of the wand shop. As I did this, I waved, seemingly at Mr. Olivander, but more to Draco than anything.
Now that Draco had said something -even as a way to keep himself out of trouble- It now seemed like I was way too short, I mean, it's not like I'm the shortest person in the world, but being 4' 9" sure does bug you when the person who you think you're in love with calls you short.
"Mayri, why are you here?" I asked when my house elf tapped on my leg.
"You told me to bring your violin and your electric guitar via apperation, miss." Mayri told me with a sweeping bow. "I was afraid that bringing them to you might put them in danger, so I put them with the rest of your school stuff." The house elf told me. I nodded.
"Good job Mayri. When you get home, could you to eat all my cookies, I don't want them to waste, because you like them and I won't need them, because I'm here and you're there, but make sure to send any un-opened packs that my parents buy here, okay?" I told her, with a smile. She smiled and hugged me.
"Thank you," she told me, hugging my leg.
"Welcome," I nodded "Now leave, I don't want to be seen with you, you dirty elf!" I winked at her and smiled before she used her magic to get home.
I walked for a bit then I saw it, 'The Charms Shop' where I could get more charms for my magical charm bracelet. The bracelet can tell what you're wearing, and then it switches the charms accordingly. If you wear the same colors every day, it just randomly switches.
"Don't spend all your money," Brett warned me while I ran in. I couldn't believe that I passed by the lion charms, but I did. I looked all around, and couldn't find them, Brett wasn't helping, he was off doing something else. Snake. Weasel. Raven…….no lion. I really wanted to get a lion, as I was going to beg the sorting hat to but me into Gryffindor, where my brother goes, he was sorted as soon as Daddy requested that Prof. Dumbledore accept us, because I needed a transfer from Bauxbattons and Brett needed one from Durmstrang. Prof. Dumbledore was happy to have us. I got a snake, a weasel and a raven, plus a few cutesey ones, there was a penguin and I saw a small brown barn owl charm, which I had to have. I walked out and saw Mrs. Malfoy wrinkle her nose at me. I smiled at her sweetly.
"I couldn't find a lion." I told me brother, sticking my hand into the bag, a few of the charms latched onto my bracelet, making the total of charms seven. On the charm bracelet was my 'Sister' charm, of which my brother had one identical that said 'Brother.' Then there also was a 'best' charm and a 'friends' cham, the best was the first part to a set shared with Brendan, the other with my best female friend Airss. I saw the penguin and owl charms on there as well. I didn't know I had left my heart charm on. Beside the heart charm was the emerald-color enamel snake.
The rest of the day was uneventful, just buying quills and inks. Well, uneventful except for my brother taking me to a pub and paying for lunch, out of his own pocket. You see, all of our supplies were paid for by my father, and usually the ticket for any of the gifts I've received from him were paid by my father. I felt a finger tap my shoulder and with my feet barely touching the floor I felt oddly short looking up at the Malfoys.
