Chapter 4
"Where to next, Sirius?" Harry asked.
Sirius took another glance at the parchment which contained Harry's necessities for his first term at Hogwarts.
"Well, I think we pretty much got everything except for-"
"The wand" Harry interrupted.
"Right" Sirius said "Why don't you go get your wand from Ollivander's. I just have one more little thing I have to do. I'll meet you outside the store when you're done"
"Alright" Harry said, before wandering to find the wand maker's shop. After a few minutes of walking he finally saw the big "Ollivander's" sign. Harry remembered how Sirius used to praise Ollivander so much that Harry joked about Ollivander being Sirius' love interest and how they would spend their honeymoon together, to which Sirius replied with "Don't talk about my boyfriend like that" in the most grisliest voice he could pull.
Harry laughed at the thought before he pushed the door and entered the wand maker's shop. It was empty at the front desk but Harry could see the shelves piled with wands that extended to the back. "Must have used a magical extension charm" harry said to himself.
After seeing no movement Harry called out "Hello". No one answered; Harry then cleared his throat and called out again but a little louder "Hello". Suddenly someone had appeared in one of the edges of the shelves with one of those sliding ladders. It was a fairly old looking man with grayish hair, whom Harry took to be Ollivander the wand maker. After swiftly looking from Harry's scar to his glasses Mister Ollivander gave Harry a smile and then said "I was wondering when I would be seeing you, Mister Potter."
The wand maker then stepped down from the ladder and walked towards one of the shelves nearest to him while saying "It seems only yesterday that your mother and father were in here buying their first wands". He then pulled out a box and took out the wand within it and handed it over to Harry. As Harry grabbed the wand there was a weird feeling as though the hand were trying to reject the wand or the other way around. Harry gave the wand a wave, but the wand did nothing.
"Apparently not" Ollivander said when he saw that nothing happened. He then went into his back storage and pulled out another wand which Harry desired because the wand had looked nice. As Ollivander handed Harry the wand the same feeling had occurred, however a different reaction had occurred. The wand had flown from Harry's hand as though it was disgusted by it. After seeing this reaction Ollivander said "No, no definitely not."
He then walked back into his back storage area. Harry could hear muffled sound of boxes falling and then it stopped and Harry could have sworn he heard Ollivander say "I wonder". The old wand maker then came back with a little bit of a darker wand, however Harry felt sort of drawn to this wand.
When Ollivander handed Harry this wand, immediately light started glowing around him. As soon as Ollivander handed Harry the wand there was a sense of warmth as though his hand had accepted the wand he now had held. When Harry gave the wand a wave there was a type of force field that had broken a nearby vase.
"Curious, very curious" Ollivander said at the scene before him.
Harry gave a confused look and asked "I'm sorry, but what's curious?"
The wand maker took a deep breath and said "I remember every wand I ever sold Mister Potter. The phoenix feather that resides in this wand gave another feather; just one other. It's curious that you should be destined for this wand when it's brother gave you that scar."
Harry's eyes went a little wide and then he asked "So, Voldemort owned a similar wand as mine?"
Ollivander was a little taken back when Harry spoke Voldemort's name but then said "Well, yes. I think it's safe to say that we will be expecting great things from you. After all You-Know-Who did great things. TERRIBLE! Yes, but great."
After a moment of awkward silence Harry then asked "So, how much for the wand?"
"5 galleons" the wand maker replied. Harry took the money from his pocket and left it on the desk and said "Thank you, mister Ollivander"
"No problem m'boy" the wand maker said weakly.
Harry then left the store and said to himself "Yeah, you will expect great things from me…"
AN: Well I really wanted to know what you guys thought of that chapter. The next chapter will be Harry riding the Hogwarts Express but not without a little bit of dramatic moments. So once again please Review this chapter and be honest about it, I know it was a little bit close to what the movie did, but I found that the scene fits in this story so I decided to put my own little twist to it.
