Chapter 5:
Damien and Ayianna lead the group into Zabini's Custom Wands. Inside the store, was another old man who looked up when they entered the store and said, "Welcome to Zabini's Custom Wands, I am Marcus Zabini, how can I help you?"
Damien replied, "We are here for these three to get their custom wands. They are all heading off to Hogwarts this fall and should have a custom wand to use over the summers to practice and will match their cores better than Ollivander's off the shelf wands. Price is no concern and we would like the purchase of these wands to stay between everyone here."
Marcus Zabini nodded his head in understanding and said, "Say no more. I remember my parents buying my custom wand after going to Ollivander's, too. It will cause 50 galleons for the secrecy oaths and the cheapest wands I sell cost 150 galleons. So who is first?" Again Daphne and Astoria nodded at Harry, signaling that he was first to get his custom wand.
Harry took a step forward in to the center of the room and the wandmaker lead Harry towards the back wall and cabinets which were covered in various pieces of wood and animal parts.
Marcus gestured causing the cabinets to open displaying their wares and lead Harry to the first of two potions. Marcus started to explain the process, "The first step to making a custom wand is to determine the woods need to make the wand. We can use from a single piece of wood up to three different types of wood. To determine which is the best choice, we use this potion which when you dip your hand into the potion and then take your hand and bring it over the selection of woods. You will then feel a pull to the woods that match your core. Go ahead and try it."
Harry walked to the potion and placed his hand in the solution and pulled it out. He then walked to the various woods and held his hand over the pieces as he wandered through the selection until he felt three pulls. He gestured towards each of the type of woods as he walked by and Marcus picked up each woods.
"You want will have a very interesting selection of woods used in its construction. The first wood you selected was elm which is symbolic of ones strength of will and intuition. It is a great wood for duelists. The second wood is holly which is symbolic of protection, overcoming of anger, and a spirit warrior. This wood is a wood common in Aurors and other protectors. The last wood that you chose was oak which is symbolic of strength, courage, and nobility. It also was believed to be connected to lightning by the Romans. It is wood used by duelist and lightning elementals." Marcus then directed Harry towards the second potion.
"This second potion is used to determine the cores used in the wand. The large number of cores, I have ever added to a wand was four but I have heard of people with more. Let's get started it has the same procedure as for the woods. Go ahead and try it," said Marcus. Harry stepped forward and repeated the process as for the wood except for this time for the cores. Harry selected three feathers and then felt a pull towards Daphne and Astoria.
"Mr. Zabini, is it possible for part Veela and part Siren to donate pieces of hair for a wands? I feel a pull towards my mates, too," asked Harry.
Marcus' eyes widened in surprise, "You are mated to a part Veela and a part Siren? If so, then you should definitely add a hair from your mates."
Harry responded, "Yes, should I donate a hair for each of them, too then?" At Marcus' nod Harry pulled two hairs out and laid them on the table. He went over to Daphne and Astoria who each pulled out a hair. He smiled and thanked them.
"Ok, wow you have beaten my previous record of four wand cores. You have five wand cores. The two are hairs from your mates which symbolize the bond between you and each of your mates and the magic's that are inherent in you from your Siren and Veela heritage. The third wand core is a tail feather of a thunder-bird, which is also called a Thunder Phoenix, which symbolizes the power of lightning and the lightning fast offensive. The fourth wand core is a tail feather of a Shadow Phoenix, which is a misunderstood member of the phoenix race. Most people believe they symbolize evil and only bond with an evil person. This is incorrect. A Shadow Phoenix is a phoenix which symbolizes the shadows and how the dark is not evil but a part of the balance of life. It is a strong core for the dark arts. The last wand core was a tail feather of a Fire Phoenix, which symbolizes both fire and light and is a strong core for the light magic."
"This wand is going to be a very powerful wand. Its strength is in all of various fields of magic with a strong focus on dueling. So who is next?" asked Marcus. Astoria this time came forward and Marcus started her through the process.
After she picked out three pieces of wood, Marcus said, "Ok, you selected three woods for your wand. The first is apple wood which symbolizes beauty, love, generosity, peace, and honesty. It is a wood used in healer's wands. The second wood is a cedar wood. Cedar symbolizes healing, cleansing, and protection and is another wood used in a healer's wand. The last wood in your wand is hazel which symbolizes creativity, purity, and honesty. It is a strong wood again for healers. Let us continue on to the second part," commented Marcus as he led Astoria to the second potion and explained what to do.
After Astoria selected her wand core components, Marcus started to explain the meaning behind the components, "You selected three components for your wand. The first is from your mate, which symbolizes your bond with him and your Siren magic. The second core is a hair from a nymph, which a race similar to the Siren. The hair from the nymph symbolizes youth, beauty, a gentile nature, fertility, and the creative power over nature. It is a strong wand core for a family oriented person and a healer. The last core is a hair donated from a Siren which symbolizes your Siren magic."
"This is a very powerful wand for a healer and a Siren. Who is next?" he asked. Daphne left the chair next to Harry to start the process.
After Daphne picked out here wood pieces for her wand, Marcus again explained the meaning behind the woods, "This first wood is hazel like your sister's. The second wood is vine which symbolizes introspection, relaxation, and depth. It is a wand wood of a spellcrafter. The last wood is blackthorn which symbolizes discipline, control, and perspective. It is a wood that is used in wands for researchers or spellcrafters. Let us move on to the next part of the wand process." Marcus directed Daphne towards the wand cores.
Several minutes later, Daphne had selected her wand cores. Marcus started to explain the meaning behind the cores," The first core is the hair from your mate. The second core is a Veela hair which symbolizes your Veela magic and heritage. The last core is a sphinx hair. Sphinx hair symbolizes puzzles, riddles, and enigmas. It is a core for a researcher or spellcrafter." He moved the pieces for the wand into the back room.
"Why don't you continue your shopping since it will take two hours to complete the three wands? They are going to cost 1200, 800, and 800 galleons respectively." At everyone's nod of agreement, they paid for the wands and promised to return in a couple of hours.
Daphne and Astoria each grabbed one of Harry's hands and led them to the trunk store. Daphne commented, "Why do we get a 7 or 8 compartment trunk and share it between the three of us? We will get a shared room since we are mates. It would be cheaper and we would get more space than buying three 2 or 3 compartment trunks." Both Astoria and Harry nodded in agreement. Both Damien and Ayianna smiled at the teamwork and the strength of the three children's bond while nodding in agreement with the logic in Daphne's statement.
Astoria led them into the trunk store, which was called "Trunks for the Wandering Wizard and Witch." As they entered the store, they made their way to the store owner.
"We would like to purchase a custom trunk. We are planning on sharing the trunk since we are mated since I am a part Veela and my sister is a part Siren. Our mate is a part Veela and part Siren and since we are going to be sharing a room we decided that it would be the best choice to get an eight compartment trunk. We would like the trunk to have a large library, an extra-large storage room, a kitchen, three closets, an extra-large bathroom and bedroom. We would like it to be furnished in the best furniture with a King size bed. We would like the wood to be cherry wood and the maximum possible security with only people we add allowed into the trunk. How long would that take to make and how much would it cost?" asked Daphne politely with Harry and Astoria standing next to her.
The store owner smiled and replied, "It would take 20 minutes for my workers to build and would cost 400 galleons."
Astoria replied, "We will take it. We will look around your store while it is being completed."
Harry led Daphne and Astoria towards the book bags thinking that they might be helpful at Hogwarts. They each pick out a bag. Harry picked out a back with green and black coloring. Daphne picked out a purple and black bag. Astoria picked out a red and silver bag. They wandered around the store talking for the next 20 minutes. Harry learned that Daphne's favorite color was purple and Astoria's was red. He told them that his was green.
After the 20 minutes, they took the bags they selected and walked to the shop owner. As he saw them coming, he brought out the trunk and said, "Here you go. Let key the trunk to the three of you and your parents." After he showed them how to add people to the list, he added them as the owners to the trunk and removed his own name from the list. They paid for the trunk and their bags and left the shop.
