"So Ryan if you don't mind me asking what are we going shopping for?" Arcturus asks as we head out of the bank.
"Custom wands, wand holsters, trunks and other items. I figured I would pay for Bella's items while we are at it." I explain walking next the the little girl who keeps eyeing me curiously but upon hearing she gets her own wand today eyes brightened considerably.
"Really I get my own wand today?" She says in excitement.
"Well considering your engaged now, that emancipated you making you legally an adult in our society. Being the future wife of a lord grants you special privileges." Arcturus explains.
"We should go get the trunks first since I'll be getting custom ones." I say.
"Custom trunks? The best ones are found at The explorers and adventurers shop." Arcturus says leading the way.
We make our way to what appears to be a magical hunting and camping shop and push the door open.
A older gentleman wearing some kind of explorers garb and pith helmet greets us. Seeing who is in front of him he is very humble. "Greetings Lord Black how can I be of service to you today?"
"I need two custom trunks built can you bring out the papers so we can design them." He says and the old man quickly dashed away to get the order forms. He quickly returns and hands over the forms and some quills.
"I'll let you know when we are done." Lord Black says waving the man away.
"Yes my lord." The old man says quickly leaving.
I unroll the parchment and start quickly checking boxes that I want the magical scroll starts counting up the galleons for the purchase as I do it.
I get myself a nice vertical trunk the kind that goes on it's side with wheels on the bottom for rolling. I get a multi room attachment. Usually you can buy furniture here at the store but I don't want that since all the furniture looks ugly. I get ten compartments. I don't know what I'll put in my compartments yet but I'll have whatever I need.
I buy custom designs so it's a nice silver look with my name etched on it. All sorts of protective Runes and enchantments including a shrinking charm and light weight charms. All the works for protections and I'll see if the goblins can do more for me. I have it designed so when it shrinks it can be put on a necklace and carried around like that.
Arcturus catching site of the price of the trunk and his eyes widen in shock as it was going up into the multiple thousands of galleons. Even he wouldn't spend so much money on a trunk. I even was buying on for Bella hers would be in black Dragonhide with her name in silver on it with all the protections as well.
I mean what kind of person would I be if I didn't splurge on a sweet dream item of all males? A cool secret hideout. It like 100 times the price of the bride price for Bella.
I stamp my ring on the bottom of the page and get a confirmation of payment. I call over the old man and pass him the paper he looks at it with wide eyes. "These will take about half an hour to make my lord feel free to wait here or continue your shopping." He had noticed my ring now and was giving me quite a bit of respect.
"I'll be going to get wands so you can take your time I want it done properly no errors and I'll be sure to give you a good tip." I say before heading out of the shop with Bella and Arcturus.
"Are you sure it's wise to spend so much money on a trunk?" Arcturus asks me.
"I literally am the richest person in the current world probably and I want to own nice things and I don't want people touching my things. So having a good secure trunk for my own private items and Bella's are a good investment." I explain and he nods.
We head down the road and stop at an old dusty looking shop. Ollivanders. Fine wands and wandmakers since 300bc.
We make our way inside and wait for the old fellow who comes out from the back of the shop.
"Ah Lord Black and this must be Bellatrix I must say I wasn't expecting to see her for a few more years." The old man suddenly looked at me.
"I don't think I have the pleasure of knowing who you might be?" He says curiously.
I hold up my hand and flash through all of my family rings. "Take your pick but you can call me Ryan or Lord Steele however I would like for you to keep whatever happens here today a secret as I don't like people knowing much about my business. I need a wand for myself and my fiancée made." I tell the now shocked man.
"To be able to make a wand for the heir of Merlin himself would be a great honor and you have my silence." He quickly pulls out a wand and makes a magical vow of silence meaning he can't tell anyone what happened here or he loses his magic.
He quickly leads us to the back room after shutting the door and putting up the closed sign.
In the back room there's all sorts of tools and jar of items on the walls and tables along with blocks of woods.
"You'll be wanting custom wands without traces since I can see your emancipated." He says eyeing the ring on my finger and turning to gather up items.
"Yes I'll be registering for hogwarts at my own time and would rather not have them find out about my arrival until I see fit." I say.
"I'm sure you have your reasons young lord." Ollivander says putting blocks of wood on the table.
