Chapitre 4: [Shopping!]
I waved the wand with anticipation and I felt a little drained, I felt uncomfortable for a second before a flower vase set on the corner of the shop burst into flame.
'what in Merlin's-'
Mr Ollivander snatched the wand from my hand and muttered, "too explosive, wrong core compatibility..." as he retreated into his shop and then came back with another one, "Here Mr Fawley, here you go, Nine and a half inches long, a little bendy made out of Chesnut and a Phoenix feather, an unusual combination but a powerful wand which is perfect for duelling and Transfiguration."
I looked at the wand which he handed to me then back at him, then at Daph and Tori who looked at me with anticipation clear on their faces.
'Fine, this is what I get for volunteering to be first-'
I waved the wand again trying to do a swish and a flick, a motion I learned that belonged to Wingardium Leviosa, a feather quill on the desk shot upwards before shooting towards me and I ducked as the quill dinked the wall behind me. I cringed at the thought of walking around with a quill sticking out of my body.
"Hmm, the core's good, the wood though-" He stopped suddenly before rushing towards the back of his shop.
He arrived holding a box and presenting to me a wand which had a dark look both thin lines of green running along its length, "here try this one Mr Fawley"
'no explanation?'
I picked it up and I almost heard a clicking sound as I felt a warm feeling flood my senses, I closed my eyes to savour the moment.
"Bravo Mr Fawley, Bravo, Ten and a half inches long, rigid made out of Acacia and a Phoenix feather, another unusual combination but a powerful wand which is perfect for duelling and the Dark Arts...Very curious...Mr. Fawley, always remember, magic and anything else in this world is nothing but shades of grey, as you may know, white is just another shade of black..." Mr Olivander finished cryptically, and while my mind was still stuck at the part about the dark arts, I nodded lightly as Daniel patted my head.
I looked at him questioningly and he smiled as Daphne eagerly took my place and I stepped back to Tori who was jumping and saying, "Show it to me, Show it to me-" I rolled my eyes in response and took out my wand which I had automatically placed into my robes.
"wah-" her eyes almost twinkled as she looked at it and said, "It's beautiful..."
'Of course, it's beautiful, it's mine-'
I looked at it for a moment and whispered, "Inspect"
[Alex Falwley's wand (compatibility 82%)]
[Strong-Short Spell Casting, Dark Arts]
[Weak- Healing arts]
'huh, compatibility? does this mean there is a wand with more compatibility out there?'
"Um, mister Ollivander?" I turned to question the wandmaker, "How do you know that this is the wand for me?"
Everyone was surprised by my sudden question, even Daniel and Evelyn turned to Ollivander for an answer, he looked thoughtfully, or completely absentminded, at me and said "well, every wizard or witch has a different property, like a different flavour to it, when I give you the first few wands I see how your magic reacts to the core till we find a matching core, in your case, it was a phoenix feather, in Miss Greengrass's case it is a Unicorn feather, after that, it is just a matter of matching you with a suitable wood and length along with the nature of the material that went into its design. And before you ask any further those are trade secrets."
'right...trade secrets... anyway there is a possibility that there is a stronger wand out there for me right?'
I voiced my thoughts as Mr Ollivander said, "There certainly is a possibility Mr Fawley, but the reaction between you and your wand was quite extraordinary, there is a possibility that there is a stronger wand out there for you but I don't think you would find it so easily." He then went back to take out another wand and presented it to Daphne. I focused on it and whispered, "Inspect"
[Unclaimed wand (compatibility 21%)]
[Strong-Short Spell Casting, Transfiguration]
[Weak- Dark Arts]
'huh why is he giving Daph... okay so that compatibility rating is for me, that makes a little more sense-'
It took 2 more wands before sparks few out of a 10 Inch long, brown wand made out of Hornbeam and a unicorn tail hair. another Inspect revealed a compatibility of 12% which confirmed my earlier hypothesis.
'She and me are very different from one another anyway-'
Tori then jumped and was admiring Daphne's wand as Daniel said, "Alright Alex, Daphne let's go, since Mr Impatient has got his wand now we can do some actual shopping."
I grumbled before moving on and shoving my wand back into my pocket and hesitantly let it go, I didn't feel like a loss of power and anything, nor any absurd reaction as I was expecting.
'huh, but there is a weird feeling though'
I touched my wand again and although the I didn't feel any different I felt like I was better in touch with my magic.
'are wands really that necessary? I mean Dumbeldore does stuff like magic with just his... right I should not think about what absurdly powerful people can do. anyway who cares, I need a new chasers set-'
I followed Daniel and Evelyn as we proceeded to buy all the necessary items listed in our Hogwarts letter.
-------------------------------------------------
"-and that is everything." Everyone was exhausted after a day of running around and buying everything, I was exited as I looked at my new chaser set.
"Alright then one final order of buisness-" Daniel said and everyone turned towards him.
"What now I thought we got everything?" I gave him a confused look.
"You need to meet your account manager, its time for you to slowly take control of your family's holdings-" He said indicating to the huge marbel building beside us.
'right, I'm 11 already-'
I nodded as he patted my back, Evelyn said, "Don't worry Alex, we are here to help you with anything okay?"
'thousands of years of heritage...'
