Chapter 14: First Wand
Dean continued his studies while practicing his occlumency without a stop. Although she wasn't as advanced in her studies as him, Daphne was also accompanying him in his studies. Even Astoria started after them, as she kept seeing both of them together, so she didn't wanna be left behind.

"Dean, your parents are waiting for you in uncles study. " Daphne informed him.
"What happened, is it important?" He was currently chatting with little Astoria. She wasn't feeling well today and was resting in her room. Even though she was receiving treatment, there were days like this where it would cause fever and put her to bed. He didn't really know what to do to fix it. He knew it had something to do with the blood curse, but other than that there was no information whatsoever. It just wasn't enough for him to try and find a cure for it.
"They said you should go immediately, I will stay with her until you return, so just go there already." Daphne kept pushing behind him while leaving behind a pouting Astoria.
He went to his father's study, so he could see what's going on. It probably had to do something about his studies. It's already been a few days since Dean finished the first five years content for herbology, astronomy and the history of magic. His parents already tested him if he really was qualified to say that he is done. He believed that he should pass as he already knew them by heart. For the past few years, he worked hard just for this moment. This meant he could finally start his spellcasting.
He kept his daily life balanced between his studies and his family, though it slowed his progress, it was all fine. Because he still had two more years before he attends Hogwarts. It was enough time to get ahead of his peers and gradually get stronger.
He entered the room, just to see both of his parents there talking to each other. The first thing got his attention was the two boxes that were placed on the table. One was a big box that almost 1.5m long and a small box placed on top of it. It made him wonder what they were.
"Dean, first of all, congratulations on accomplishing your goal. Even though you are just 9 years old, if you take O.W.L.'s right now, you can pass with a perfect score for astronomy, herbology and the history of magic. As your parents, we are really proud of you." Joseph then continued pointing at the boxes laid on the table. "The big box is your gift for the effort you made in your studies. As for the small one, it is something necessary for your magic practice. Go on and open them."
Dean looked at his mother to see her nod with a pleasant smile. He first went for the small box. When he opened it, what he saw was a wand laying inside the box. Compared to the wands he saw so far, it was just too simple and plain. But, it was in perfect condition, either brand new or it was well taken care of.
He reached with his right hand and grabbed it from its handle. He expected the wand to have some sort of reaction to him, at least it was supposed to from what he knew about wands. He waited if the wand will acknowledge him or not, but there wasn't the slightest reaction whatsoever. He looked at his father for an explanation.
"It wasn't a perfect fit, I was expecting this outcome from the start. The wand in your hand was your grandfather's wand when he was still alive. Since his death, I was keeping it and taking care of it as a keepsake. I never thought it would be your first wand. As for the reason I didn't buy a new one, it is just too bothersome at this moment and it would raise unwanted questions. Also, all the wands bought for kids will always have tracer magic on it, it is not a good choice. For now, even though the wand didn't really acknowledge you as it's master, it is still usable. It will just be a bit less efficient."
His parents were a bit worried about their son not liking the wand, since it was old and not a suitable wand for him. Seeing him happy and not voicing any objections, they were relieved.
Dean was really happy, finally, he had his first wand in his hands. He couldn't really wait until he could cast some real spells soon.
