On the one hand, Rhiannon knew what this was like. Even if she hadn’t actually gotten to go through the whole process quite as she imagined most everyone else in the shop who wasn’t a newly minted Hogwarts student had. At the very least, her wand hadn’t come from Ollivanders, but she knew how important getting one’s first wand was, and when Carsyn had requested both hers and Alex’s presence when she and Carys received theirs, she hadn’t been able to deny her. Nor Carys, who she imagined wanted them there just as much as her sister did even if she knew that twin would have acted like she understood if she’d said she had a commission to work on or something. The differences between her daughters were fascinating, really. Yet even so, she’d tried to stand back to let them experience it all ostensibly on their own, no matter how much she wanted to know they’d be safe. She wasn’t going to be going to school with them after all…
Both mama and daddy were there. Carys knew that, just as she was resolved to actually prove that she wasn’t a pushover. Maybe Hogwarts would prove that, or at least maybe between her new kitten who she was at least going to pretend was really ferocious and her new wand whenever she got it, she’d have proof she wasn’t just Carsyn’s shadow. She knew quiet wasn’t a bad thing, and she’d find a way to prove it…even if she’d taken an extra moment before she let her sister’s hand go as they’d approached the measuring area. At least watching the tape twisting and turning around the kids ahead of them had been fascinating to watch.
The actual experience was kind of different. Not scary, just sort of weird as she tried her best to stay completely still as the tape had measured the oddest things about her. She didn’t see how the space between her eyes was really important, or the spread between her fingers. Wand measuring seemed an awful lot like being measured for clothes, actually. Just weirder.
