Somehow, SOMEHOW, today had come. And even though Abey had been waiting for forever and ever and ever, it felt like today wasn't actually happening at all actually. But maybe that was because he was actually much more terrified than he thought he'd be.

Because he was. Terrified. Sort of. Maybe. Very. Actually.

Abey had dragged Lilian and Hassan to the wand shop, while somehow simultaneously hiding behind them. Somehow, actually, even though he was MUCH MORE CONFIDENT and at ease around his family, it was when he was with his family and around strangers that his shyness was as bad as ever. When they weren't around, he could ACT confident. But when they were around... he didn't NEED to act. But he did. But he didn't.

Gnawing at his lower lip and holding VERY TIGHTLY onto both Hassan and Lilian's hands, Abey looked off towards the measuring area that everyone else was heading to on their own, and felt his heart slam wildly in his chest.

What if... what if he got a BAD wand. Did they do bad wands? Wands that were for weak wizards? Probably. Would he be INSTANTLY OUTED right here in this shop? Would the wandmaker laugh at him? Would Hassan and Lilian be disappointed in him? Ultimately, was it really worth the stress? All the excitement and bouncing around and memories of thrilled celebrations seemed to fade away in an instant.

"Um... let's go home. I'll... just get mama to owl order my wand actually..." Did they do those? Probably not. "Or... or maybe I can have Jaddi's old wand." Did someone still have that? He wasn't sure.

Did Abey really want to leave? No. He wanted a WAND. An OLLIVANDER'S WAND. But this was a lot scarier than he had imagined, and he didn't want to get it wrong. Théo was here too, and Abey didn't want to look like a fool in front of him, actually, and he ducked back, attempting to hide between his brother and sister, but at the same time trying to drum up the courage to go up to the measuring area.

Maybe Hassan could go up for him.
