Bab 4: chapter 4
Walking around the south side of diagon alley as I clearly forgot to ask professor McGonagall where the clothing shop is, though I clearly remember that Olivanders wand shop was on the south side I decided that it would be best to have her take me to the clothes store when she finds me in my search for the wand shop.
In my wandering for the wand shop, I found a nice clothing shop called Twilfitt and Tattings. Hoping they sell Hogwarts robes as to save myself a trip, I step inside.
Looking around I could tell this shop sells some high end clothes here, comparable to name brand stuff back in my old life. As I was looking around I saw a well dressed older witch at the counter. From the direction of her, now wide eyes, she was intensely staring at my ring.
'She must be a pure-blood or just a well knowledged witch' I thought to myself as I walked over to the counter.
"Hello, I would like to get my Hogwarts robes here, if that's available. Oh and a few sets of new clothes, would you be able to help me?" I asked the women who was now smiling widely.
"Of course, madam Malkin may handle the majority of school attire but I also make them when requested. I believe you need 3 sets, right?"
The bubbly women seemed rather happy to be making robes, must be either my lineage or she is happy for the expensive purchase.
" Ah, can I please make that 5 sets. I hear students at Hogwarts like their pranks, so I would rather be prepared. Oh and for the everyday clothes I'll also have 5 sets in any style you see fit."
She gave me a nod and pointed at the stand, so she can take my measurements. The process only took about 5 minutes, thanks to magic controlling the tape measure.
"I will return shortly, will you be wearing one of the sets out this evening?" She asked as she looked at my current attire.
"Oh, I haven't thought of that. Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely be changing here." I gave here a nod and sat in the waiting room
About 30 minutes later she returned with a few bags of clothes and one set off to the side.
"You may change in the next room after making payment, which comes up to be 15 galleons." She said with a happy smile
I can't say I know the true value of the galleon or how much thing should cost, but I must say the material of the clothes are exquisite.
I quickly payed the amount and changed, leaving the changing room looking like a new wizard. My mix of wild and wavy black hair gave a roguish look to my aristocratic features. I'm sporting a nice 3 piece black suit with a high blue collar, grey vest, long black coat and pair of black boots.(Image of clothes)
"You know, the wizard taste in clothing is quite outdated, but I must say I like it quite a bit." I said the the store lady
Now that I think about it, I never got her name.
"Um, I'm expecting to do most of my clothing business here, can I have your name for future convenience?"
"How rude of me, my name is Stacy Hensley, but feel free to call me Madam Hensley." She said as she extending her hand.
Taking her hand, I introduced myself in a similar manner.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Madam Hensley, my name is Greyson Sayre, I look forward to shopping again at your store in the future. Now I apologize for leaving so soon but I have a wand to purchase. Oh, speaking of wands, you wouldn't by chance have direction to Ollivanders?"
Leaving the store with a quick goodbye, a few bags of clothes over my shoulder, and direction to Olivanders. I was feeling quite pleasant so far.
After a few minutes, I've found Ollivanders. The shops display consisted of a solitary wand lying on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. Entering the shop, the waiting area was rather tiny, sporting no decorative display other than a spindly chair in the corner.
"Well if it isn't the young Sayre, I've been expecting you but you are rather early having turned 11 just today"
Said a voice from behind me, pretty sure my soul almost left my body from the surprise greeting. I couldn't even hear him coming.
I turned around to find a lanky old man with glassy eyes and white hair. This must be Garrick Ollivander himself, pretty much exactly as I expected him to look.
"How do you know me? I know this is our first time meeting"
I asked while playing along with his mysterious vibe. He must have noticed my looks matching with my parents as he has a fantastic memory. Though I am a little stumped how he knows my birthday though.
"You look uncanny to your mother, though your eye are your fathers doing. Yes your mother was favored by walnut and dragon heart string 12 3/4, quite the strong pairing those two. Your father had Rowan and phoenix feather having quite the gift for healing and barrier magic, to bad it was broken."
He seemed to go silent for a few seconds after speaking of my parents wands, then suddenly went into the back of the shop. I heard him making some shuffling noise, the return bringing with him a few boxes and a tape measure.
"Now, which will be your wand arm?" He asked while extending his tape measure.
"My left arm, sir"
I extended my arm allowing him to take the measurement, that for some reason also included my nostrils, head, armpit, and height. It's part of his routine, must be doing something right seeing as he is still in business.
"Alright then, let's try this one. Pine with dragon heart string, 9 inches."
Upon giving it a flick, the only piece of furniture in the room turned to kindling.
"This is why I don't have many props in here. Always ends up broke in the end." Ollivander said while giving a chuckle at my expression.
This went on for about 15 more minutes going through more wands and Ollivander getting more excited. It was an odd experience but hey whatever gets the old man going, I guess.
"Quite the tricky customer you are, but I'm sure one of these wand will choose you. Now I have a good feeling about this one, Ebony with phoenix feather, 12 3/4 inches."
Ollivander seemed to be right about his feeling, as before even touching the sleek black wand I could feel it calling for me. As I grabbed it, I felt like I've found something I never knew I lost. Feeling a giddy excitement take over, I swished my wand sparking an aurora of color throughout the shop.
"Truly fantastic Mr. Sayre, seems you have found your match. I hope you both enjoy a long and exciting journey together. That will be 7 galleons for the wand and if you'd like a cleaning kit that will be an extra 3."
Paying 10 galleons as I wanted to take great care of my partner from here on, I walked out the store. Exiting the store, I spot Professor instantly waiting for me.
"Professor check it out, my very own wand." I said running over to her and showing off my sleek black wand that swirled at the base attaching to a handle that's carved with runes. (Image of wand)
"Yes very nice, I also see you've change you're attire, I don't believe this is Madam Malkins work though." she said as she looked at me up and down.
"I'm happy you noticed Professor, I went to a place called Twilfitt and Tattings. I must say the wizard community has a very old fashioned way of dressing but you must admit I do pull it off well." I said with my arms out showing off.
"You look very nice, now let's get you back home as I need to get back to my day job." She said as she extended her arm.
I sighed looking at her arm, getting myself prepared for tube of despair. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed her arm and we vanished.
Seeing the familiar scenery of my room/shed at the orphanage I let out a sigh of relief that it was over.
"Thank you for the date Professor, maybe you can take me shopping next year if you find yourself bored." I said jokingly, knowing she would be to busy with the new students coming in
"We will have to see, now I hope you have a fine next few months. I'll see you at the sorting ceremony."
With that she vanished as if she was never there.
With hurried steps I grabbed all my supplies and made my way to the road and pointed my wand in the air. Not long after the Knight bus flashed up to my spot in at great speed.
"Hello young wizard, you can call me Stan as I'll be you host this evening. Now where will we be takin you?" He asked in a happy manner
"Diagon Alley, please."
He gave a nod then yelled to the driver.
"It's a short trip Ernie, head to Diagon Alley. That will be 11 sickles, add 2 more for a hot chocolate"
I gave 11 sickles as I wasn't very confident in not spilling the hot chocolate everywhere. The ride only felt like like a minute before I found myself in front of the leaky cauldron.
"Thank you for the hospitality Stan, here is a little extra for your time."
I gave Stan a tip of 5 sickles as I got off the bus and waving good bye.
Entering the leaky cauldron I spot Tom still cleaning cups behind the bar.
"Hello again Tom, I would like to rent out a room till September 1st please. Oh and as a paying customer I would hope you won't tell any of the professors I'm staying here."
Tom gave me a scrutinizing gaze, then nodded as it wasn't his place to pry on why someone would live here.
"It'll be 37 galleons and 8 sickles to stay till the start of the semester, your room number will be number 3 upon payment."
Giving a nod I have 40 galleons as a little incentive to not speak of me living here and took the key up to my room.
It wasn't the greatest looking room, it looks pretty similar to a motel room but it was far better than the orphanage. I placed my chest full of school supplies in the corner, then sat on the lone chair next to the bed.
The entire evening surprisingly exhausted me more than I expected. Deciding to get a shower and change into some sleep wear, I flopped back onto the bed allowing sleep to take me knowing tomorrow is going to be a full day of magic.
(AN: The wand will have nothing to do with Dumbledor. I know it's the same as his wand in fantastic beasts, I just really like its look. As for what he wears on the daily, it'll be what I describe the tailor made for him but in different colors.)
