Christina was walking along Diagon Ally with her whole family. Her father, a pureblooded wizard working for the Ministry, had been leading them everywhere. She, her muggle mother, and her sister, were looking around at everything in awe. After all, they'd never had a reason to visit Diagon Ally before.

Her father helped her with quite a few things: they had gotten her books already, her robes fitted, her potion supplies, and last on the list was her wand. Christina was bursting with nerves. Not just excitement because they were getting ice cream afterwards, it was her birthday after all, but she was afraid no wand would choose her. After all, that meant she couldn't go to Hogwarts!

When they finally made it to Ollivanders, her father told Christina to enter the store by herself. This didn't do anything to calm her nerves, but her father said it's a 'personal experience'. Well, there she goes..

Christina walked in and saw an old man with grey, bushy hair standing behind a counter. Looking around her, she saw what could be thousands of boxes stacked on top of each other. None of it was organized, and she wondered how they could ever find her wand in this mess.

"Come on in", Ollivander said, giving Christina the nerve to continue walking into the store. "Ah.. Christina. I remember the day your father came in for his wand. Cedar wood and dragon heartstring, am I correct?" She didn't know what her father's wand was made of, or how he even knew her name, so she just nodded. "I'm getting my first wand today", she finally said.

At the sound of that, Ollivander immediately got moving. When he handed her a wand, however, nothing happened. Christina was afraid her fear had come true, and she wouldn't be able to get a wand, but then Ollivander said "No.. Not this one, try another one", as he handed her the next wand. Again, nothing happened. "This one must be right!", he said. He walked over to a box laying in the corner of the shop. Then, he grabbed the wand, and handed it over to Christina. "Well, give it a whirl", he told her. When she did, the wand lit up, and she felt warm inside. Immediately, she felt some kind of connection to the wand. "This is the one..", she said, as Ollivander nodded. "21,9 cm aspen wood and veela hair. Slightly bendy, highly powerful and loves being powerful, extremely difficult to control. I hope you take great care of it, Christina."

After this long interaction, Christina paid for her wand and left the shop. Her family was standing outside waiting for her, so naturally she showed off her wand. When they were done looking at her wand in pride, her sister shouted, "I want ice cream!", and they continued their trip in Diagon Ally.
