Sophia's lips were a thin line and as usual she looked like she'd hex you into oblivion if you so much as brushed against her too hard for her liking, which of course normally kept wizards from doing so when she walked through crowded areas. She hadn't been in a wand with a child in so long that it made her a little uncomfortable. All the parents around were...younger, though looking at her now, you couldn't tell that she was a decrepit near death thing only a few weeks ago. She sighed and looked down at her daughter who didn't sport such a severe expression.

In contrast Ariana was wearing a bright smile and everyone who passed her got it. She was so excited about getting her first real wand. Sparkler wands didn't count right? Of course she could have gotten with her dad but she'd gotten everything with him and her mum had promised to take her to achieve this very special mile stone.

She entered the shop before her mother and looked around. Wow lots of people. Maybe her mother could do something. She looked up at her expectantly.
