Dairy Entry: New Wand
Dear dairy, today I went to get my first wand at Mr. Ollivanders wand shop.
When I entered the shop I was first in awe of how many wands there are, it seems the hallways in which wands were stacked were endlessly long and filled up to the ceiling with all kinds of boxes.
I wandered a bit, looking at all of them, some old, some new but I had no idea how to even start looking for a wand. After a while I decided to just take one box that seemed "appropriate" to take but as soon as I lifted my hand to get the box I heard a quiet voice behind me speak.
-I wouldn't take this one if I were you, Mrs. Silverheart.
My heart jumped up to my throat and I almost screamed when I turned around.
An old man was standing there with a big apologetic smile.
-I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to scare you, dear.
I regained my composure and tried to look a bit more serious when I told him
-I'm sorry, I was just trying to look for a new wand and to be honest I have no idea how I should begin, could you help me, please?
-Well of course I will help you my young lady, this is why I'm here after all!
He then quickly went to one of the wand walls, pointed at few of them until he finally decided to take one out. As he was coming my way he opened the box and laid it on his front desk where I already stood.
-28,3 cm, Hazel wood with Unicorn Hair core. Please, give it a try!
He looked at me with anticipation, I took the wand and... nothing happened. I looked at Mr. Ollivander and he gestured with his hand that I should give it a wave so I did.
What ensured was disappointing by the looks at Mr. Ollivanders face, there was a silent hiss and the wand gave out a very dim light at the tip. He then grabbed the box and urged me to give the wand back before he was gone once again behind some shelves.
-What say you about a 26 cm Cherry wood with a Dragon Heartstring core ?
Mr. Ollivander was quick to return with a new box he was already opening.
I took the wand bravely now and without waiting I gave it a slight swing.
This time the wand didn't hiss but instead shot out a weird looking cricket on the counter.
Few more minutes and few more wands were given to me to try out, none of them felt any good, one of them didn't even work at all, that was until Mr. Ollivander handed me the wand I have with me right now. 29,4 cm Chestnut wood and Dragon Heartstring core. As soon as I touched the wand I felt as if it was made for me, the cozy feeling and the joy that seemed to radiate from the wand like I finally met my long lost friend.
-I... I can feel it.
-This wand, Mrs. Silverheart, this wand will be yours as long as you live, I can feel it and trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
It felt ecstatic, My first ever magical wand! I wonder how my dad will react when I show it to him. To be honest he wasn't very keen on getting here but since my mother is a non-wizard she couldn't do it. I really wish to know why he wouldn't want get back here, it all seems like a dream world to live in. I'll better hurry back to him.
