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.

Alex, of course, had received his first wand from Ollivander's which seemed like forever ago. Actually it was and it was rather hard to believe that the twins were now getting their first wands. Sometimes he questioned whether sending the girls to Hogwarts was the right decision, but ultimately he knew there were always going to dangers at the Scottish school and he had to trust that they'd be there to look out for each other. He squeezed Rhiannon's hand as he watched the two girls waiting their turn. How did they get so doubly blessed again?

Carsyn was over-the-moon excited about her very first wand. And the fact that mama and daddy agreed to come with her and her sister to their first diagon alley trip. She knew Carys would have been fine if they said no, but honestly, she wanted them there for this experience because how often would they get to see their daughters shopping for their first wand?

She was bouncing on her heels as she watched the measuring tape twisting around the other kids. What did measuring someone's size though have to their wand? Did Mark get his wand yet?
