Jarael had got all her school supplies with the exception of just one thing. The most important thing. That is the WAND! This was so exciting for Jarael. She couldn’t wait to do spells with her very own wand. She passed a few people who were talking about the coming school year and how excited they were to be going. Jarael gave out a little squeak which was a habit of hers when she was excited. She went into Ollivander’s. The shop was dark inside with just a lamp at the desk. There was an old man at the back on a ladder. He must have been a thousand years old to Jarael as she heard the old croaky voice from the man.

“Well well….what do we have here?” he said coming down from the ladder. “Normally I know almost everyone that comes into my shop but you my dear I do not know. Who are you my dear?”

Jarael blinked fast a few times before saying “I am Jarael Morningstar. My family is from Denmark so that’s probably why you haven’t heard of me. Although my family is known among Wizarding families here in the UK, just not everyone. I guess you haven't met them yet.” she smiled at the old man. “You must be Ollivander, am I correct?” she asked Ollivander nodded then said “Yes dear i am. Now let’s get you a wand eh?” he said then started to look through a bunch of long thin boxes that were on shelves. He was going through several not satisfied with them before picking up one.

“Let’s try this Chestnut and Dragon’s Heartstring” he said, handing her the wand. She grabbed it and looked at it for a few moments. She heard the croaky voice of Ollivander. “Well are you going to just stand there my dear or are you going to give it a wave.”

She blinked fast then nodded “oh yes sorry” she said then waved her hand with her left hand. Boxes started to fly off the shelves making a commotion and a big mess on the floor.” Jarael jumped as things started flying off the shelves. “Oh so sorry sir.” she said with her big blue eyes looking all surprised.

Ollivander didn’t respond to the apology. He lifted his wand and the boxes went right back to the shelves. He then proceeded to look for another wand for her. After a few moments with the wandmaker mumbling a few things he picked another wand. “Here you go try this Holly with Unicorn Hair.”

Jarael was a little hesitant at first knowing the first wand caused such a mess. She took the wand from Ollivander then quickly swung it widely. A vase nearby crashed to the floor with a loud sound that made Jarael jump once again.

“Nope…..certainly not that. Hmm what to do…..what to do.” Ollivander said then it seemed he got a quick idea and grabbed a box. “This one….yes this one should be tried Cherrywood and Phoenix Feather.” handing it to her Jarael reached for the wand.

When she touched the wand there was a warm feeling inside her like she just found her best friend. It was such a familiar feeling that she just instantly connected to the wand. She stared at it for a moment, almost wanting to hug it to say welcome home.

“Ah yes that is the one!” Ollivander said “Miss Morningstar I believe you have your wand.”

Jarael smiled as she placed the wand back into the box and paid Ollivander. She now was set and was ready to head to Hogwarts. Her excitement was palpable and she just couldn’t wait for her journey to begin.
