Anyway, new holster. Where were those? He stood near the entrance looking around. It looked like there were off to the -

"Ouch." he said at the sudden pain in his foot. He took a step backwards and glanced at the responsible party.
Oh. Oh. OH.

... Uh-oh.

Jake, having realised what he'd done the exact instant after doing it, quickly took a step backwards himself just as the other person did.

"Oh. I'm sorry, man. I was looking where I was... uh..." ... He was being redundant here, surely. Of COURSE he'd not been looking where he was going, that was why he'd gone and stepped on the poor bloke's foot. But Jake felt it necessary just to really point out the fact that he wasn't a serial shoe-stepper-onner. Not... not intentionally at least. He cleared his throat.

"Is your shoe okay?" Wait. Priorities. "I mean foot. Is your foot okay?" Merlin.


SPOILER!!: THE CLAN

A girl never knew when she was going to find her prince! Though the frogs seemed to be everywhere. ICK!

Bursting through the door of Ollivander's and striking a very sassy pose, the eight year old's presence announced the arrival of the Botros family. Great family, many kiddos, all being looked after by a very handsome-Junia was likely to say the most handsome-dude ever. Her cousin was a prince for sure.

Maybe she could find him a princess here! Hehe.

Also, she wasn't going to ruin anyone's fantasies. She believed in miracles. "Ve're here!" The twelve-year-old announced to no one in particular, her distinct accent audible to all.

Hassan and Rula were directly behind them. Rula was getting her NEW wand, Eureka had flaunted her wand (that she hadn't managed to use much over the past two years) and now she could play the big sister and teach Rula how to take care of it. AND how to clean baby creatures with it! She knew how!

Speaking of baby creatures, a couple of purple and yellow pygmy puffs were situated on her head making squeaky, adorable noises.

Funny how they all got excited for something only she would be able to use.

He wasn't worried about them fussing over sharing later, as he had planned to keep them all happy. That's why ice cream was happening after. The eldest Botros grandchild slipped into the shop and spun out away from the entrance so that they weren't blocking it anymore than they already where. "Go on and get your wand, Rula. Before someone else gets matched with it." He teased, sending a wink her way.

Would she let her wear it? Even just for a little? Alanna wouldn't drop it...not on purpose anyway.

Pale gray eyes roamed curiously around the shop at everyone already there and the boxes that must have been wands. Casually she leaned in closer and whispered. "I wan'a wand too." So of course she would ask her cousin because he was big and could make people do things.

Her feet kicked excitedly as she almost forgot she was still on his back. Just think, a wand! Then she could make pretty pink things for Aaron to wear! Juni and Rula could wear them too and Reka--Did Abey want something too?

"Juuunnniii." Her voice was hardly above a whisper with the four year old being all too conscious of the fact they were not the only ones here. Any louder and people would stare then she would shrink into herself. "Ju-ni-a." Pssssst. "Tiara?" She asked, pointing to the shiny thing on her sister's head.


Abraham Botros Jr. had a very tight grip on his big brother Hassan's hand, as tight as his little tiny kid hands could hold. There were a lot of people on the street today, and he didn't want to get separated from his brother (or any of the family) right now, because if they got separated he'd have to stop and ask someone for help or not find ANYONE again EVER EVER and be LOST in a SEA OF PEOPLE.

So. Many. People... If possible, Abey gripped Hassan's hand that little bit tighter.

Everyone else was loud and talking a whole lot, enough that he had an excuse to stay silent, but also loud enough that surely people would start looking their way soon, which was a mildly terrifying prospect for this little six year old. But... at least they'd be distracted by one of the others? Yes. That was good. That meant he didn't really have to worry.

But wait. Was Alanna going to get a wand as WELL as Rula? Abey's eyes went all wide and shiny. If Alanna could get one, that meant he was old enough as well.

"Me too, Hassan?" Abey said, his voice as hushed as he looked up at Hassan with those big brown eyes. "Can I maybe get one? Maybe please?"
