The Perfect Wand
After gathering her other supplies, Pearl was ready to make one last but very important purchase today, her first wand. Of course there was no contest where her mother and her would go to find the perfect wand, the renowned Ollivanders. The two headed towards the shop and Pearl was practically skipping, full of excitement as everything was finally coming together. Soon she would be on the train bound for Hogwarts and learning magic with other young wizards and it all starts after getting her final item on her supplies list, her wand.
As they entered into the shop there was boxes upon boxes everywhere all filled with wands of different types. She was extra curious what she would end up with. What wood would it be made of? What length? What would be core of it? There was so many possibilities and she just hoped today that she would be able to find her perfect wand. As Pearl's mother went up to the counter, Pearl took the opportunity to look around, sneaking a look in a box at a wand. "I see you are very curious," she heard a man's voice say and quickly shut the box and turned towards the voice. She saw Ollivander standing there, a tall, older looking man with white hair and put her hands quickly behind her. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have been touching that." Quickly apologizing as the man came over to her and smiled before pulling the wand she had been looking at out. "Do not apologize, why don't you try this one out since it interested you." He said and handed her the wand. Pearl looked up at him and then back down at the wand, taking it in her hand and giving it a flick. He gave a quizzical look and went to one of the shelves, scanning it before pulling out another wand from a box. "Why don't we try this one next." She nodded and took the wand before giving it try although it was not a match again. Pearl began to wonder if she would find the perfect wand today as it was already not off to a good start.
As she stood there lost in her thoughts she looked at her mother who gave her a soft smile of encouragement. She calmed her thoughts just as Ollivander returned with another wand. "I think this one might be exactly what you need." He said as he handed it to her. The wand was beautiful, it even felt right to her as she held it in her hand. "This wand is a 23,5 cm chestnut wood and it has a snallygaster heartstring." Pearl nodded as she listened to his words and gave the wand a wave. Finally everything seemed to be aligned and she found the right one. She was beaming with excitement as she looked at her mother then back to the man standing before her. "Yes, excellent, this is exactly what you need." He said and her mother petted the back of her head, smiling from ear to ear. Once they paid for the wand they headed back out of the shop. Finally all of her shopping was done and she was ready to get everything together and packed.
