Wands and Roses
Kiyra had entered into the Wand Shop of Ollivander’s in Diagon Alley! She couldn’t wait to get her first wand! Her mother and father were busy helping her get her other school supplies so she had gone on ahead cause this was the part she was most eager for.
A very old man with white fluffy hair and kind eyes stared at her behind the counter.
“Aww, Miss Kiyra Valkyrie, welcome! I’ve been expecting you!” He called out.
Kiyra stopped in her tracks.
“How do you know my name?” She asked astounded. “Have we met before?”
The old man chuckled to himself.
“This is our first meeting but I remember giving your parents their first wand as if it were yesterday!”
Kiyra stared at him in awe.
“Forgive me, you can call me Mr. Ollivander!” He smiled. “I believe I have a good start for us here.” He reached underneath the counter and pulled out a plum colored box. He gently opened it revealing a wand that almost looked like two twigs braiding each other.
“This wand is Vine wood with Phoenix feather.” He handed the wand to Kiyra. It was slighter than she expected and rather short.
She focused on a lamp in the corner and gave the wand a slight flick. Immediately the light bulb in the lamp burst. She really didn’t know what she was expecting but certainly nothing as destructive as that.
Mr. Ollivander cleared his throat reaching for the wand.
“Erm, no, no, definitely not.”
Kiyra was mortified. “I’m so sorry.” She said crestfallen.
“No need to apologize! It happens all the time.” Ollivander reassured her.
He put the wand back and pulled out another wand. This process continued for several other wands and Kiyra was starting to think maybe she wouldn’t be getting her wand after all.
Mr. Ollivander tapped his chin thoughtfully.
“Ahh, perhaps we are in need of…that!”
He disappeared around the back and came back with a big smile on his face.
“Try this one my young friend!”
Kiyra took the wand. There was something different about this one. Something just felt right. She focused her attention on an empty vase nearby and gave the wand a wave. Suddenly, beautiful pink roses shot out and filled the vase.
“Aww! I knew it!” Ollivander exclaimed.
“That wand is Rosewood with Rougarou Hair. A fine fit for a fine young witch! Treat it with care.”
“Thank you so much! Here’s the money for the wand!” Kiyra said with eyes aglow!
She skipped out of the shop to tell her parents. She finally got the wand that was perfect for her and she can’t wait for all the adventures they will go on together!
