Reima stares back into his cloudy eyes with his own cat-like ones, "I didn't think that was a problem, was I mistaken?"
Ollivander "It's a problem two-fold! It's illegal to own more than one wand, not only that but it disrupts the bond between the wizard and their intended." he states fiercely.
Reima backs away, "Look I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Ollivander "You'd do well to remember it... Now, would you allow me to see your intended?"
Ciri looks on just as intrigued as Ollivander and Reima nods. He wills his staff to appear in his hand and a black slimy substance climbs out of his shadow, it seems to climb onto itself as if it's mimicking a human pyramid until it forms into the familiar Staff of Manus. Ciri looks surprised at it's "Entrance" but Ollivander steps closer and examines it. He casts a couple spells and his face seem to distort with each one, looks of glee, sadness, hatred, disgust and many other emotions flash on his face until he finally tries to touch the axe-like head of the staff. He his finger only manages to get a couple inches close when he jumps back, a fearful look appearing on his face.
Ollivander stutters, "D-did you hear something?... I-I think it spoke to me..."
Reima shakes his head, a little hesitant to continue holding the staff... It wouldn't be the first time he'd heard whispers speaking to him. "I didn't hear anything, Ciri?" he asks and she shakes her head aswell.
Ollivander "Forgive me then, I must have imagined it... Thank you for allowing me to appraise your wa... Staff, I'll pen a letter to Albus to explain the situation so don't worry about your lack of a wand. He's a good man, I'm sure he'll understand."
Reima nods, "Thank for you for assistance, would it be inappropriate to pay you for your time?"
He shakes his head, "No, you've given me enough for today... Feel free to visit me in the future, you are both terribly intriguing people."
Ciri nods at him, "Thank you Mr Ollivander" and walks outside, still clutching her new staff, Reima allowing his staff to climb back into his shadow as he follows.
The duo look at the sky and it seems to be around mid-day, they'd spent quite a lot of time inside of Ollivander's... They'd not even found a wand that suited Ciri, Reima knew they could probably just use wandless magic but that'd draw way to much attention towards them... Atleast this way they can play it off as traditional tools in "Greenland", walking sticks aren't too uncommon either so it shouldn't draw too much attention... If you exclude how unique their separate staves look.
Reima "I'm kinda hungry but we should probably finish shopping before settling down to eat... Lets see what's next..." he says as he drops a bag and retrieves the Supply list. "Cauldron (pewter, standard size 2), 1 set of glass or crystal phials, 1 telescope and 1 set of brass scales... I have no idea where we're going to get those things..." he says confident in his lack of confidence...
Ciri shrugs as she leans against her new staff, "Just do what we've already been doing, ask around."
The duo continue to shop for the various items they need, they find the Cauldron and crystal phials at a potioneers store while they find the Brass Scales and telescope in a general store. When they look at the list again they see the last thing they need are books, Reima had held off on this until the end as there are many things he wishes to learn in this world... Animagus tranformations, Occulemncy, Legilimency, Runes, Arithmancy and Transfiguration being the most interesting as they seem completely different and or unique front the Witcher and DarkSouls worlds.
The duo ask around and get directed towards a store called "Flourish and Blotts", they enter and sees a relatively popular book store with many people going from here to there collecting various books. Reima grabs Ciri's arm and pushes his way through the small crowd and approaches a woman sitting at a desk. She doesn't seem to notice them as she's reading a book of some kind.
Reima clears his throat and catches her attention, as soon as she looks up she seems to pale. She pushes against the floor and he chair slides backwards, grinding against the floor.
Reima "Is something wrong?" he asks confused at her reaction.
The haired girl visible calms herself as she realises she's not in danger, "Sorry, it's just your eyes..."
Ah, so that's what it was Reima mentally retorts... "It's ok, that's most normal peoples reaction. I'm Reima Ludvig, nice to meet you miss?" he says as he puts his hand forward in a friendly gesture.
She shakes his outstretched hand, "Penelope Clearwater, I really am sorry about my earlier reaction, it was rude and insensitive..."
Ciri steps forwards, "Don't mind it, my friends face would scare any woman." she jokes making Reima look aggrieved. "I'm Ciri.. Rivia." she almost hesitates when she says her last name.
Penelope looks at Ciri with familiarity but quickly changes the subject, "It's a pleasure to meet you both, do you need something from our store?"
Reima nods, "I need 1st to 7th year Hogwarts books..."
Penelope "Ah, are you attending Hogwarts?"
Reima nods, "We're transfering in so I'd like to see how their education matches up with our previous schools." he says drawing a glance from Ciri.
Penelope "Of course... You can find the transfiguration books on" she starts listing the various locations of every book, they number around 30 which confuses Reima and Ciri greatly, seeing their confusion Penelope sighs, "I'll go retrieve them for you, as an apology for earlier." she says as she gets up and grabs a book sized box from behind her before walking away.
Reima "See, my eyes come in handy occasionally." he says to Ciri.
Ciri "Yeah but making people feel pity for the poor old disfigured Witcher."
Reima nudges her, "Oi, you wouldn't talk to Geralt like this."
She retorts, "You're not Geralt though..."
So yeah, if you guys have any suggestions on types of magic in the HP universe the Mc and Ciri could learn let me know... I'm not an expert on magic and can't even cast a Lumos so maybe the veterans can help me out.
