He was even holding her hand because today was the day that he would FINALLY get his wand. Ever since he'd turned eleven, he'd been counting down the days. His very own wand. He would actually get to practice all the spells he'd learned about in his theory classes AND dueling! This was the step closer he needed to being JUST like his dad. It was gonna be awesome.

AND LOOK THERE WAS THE DOOR.

It took a great amount of restraint not to drop her hand and bolt inside.

Instead he all but dragged her through the doors, a splitting grin on his face as he bounced on his toes and took in the shop with excited blue eyes.

Silent, the eleven year old was too excited to speak.

Ellsworth Toussaint was a little distraught over the fact that her oldest child was finally old enough to be buying a wand. Or owning one, since Bast wouldn't be paying today, but the POINT WAS... he was school aged. And it was traumatizing.

She tried very hard not to be weepy as she was finally dragged into their first stop. The most important one. Merlin, she should have brought Annaliese as a distraction. A toddler on her hip trying to grab things and eat things and be the center of the universe would keep Ells from grabbing up Bast and sobbing.

How bad would THAT be?

"What are you waiting for? Jump up to the counter and get measured!" Brave smiles.
