Now, though, Art was admittedly glad for that - even if there had never been even the slightest chance that it could have happened - because he could be excited about it now instead, and not get crazy amounts of FOMO while everyone else bought their wands. And really it wasn't even getting the wand that he was excited about, as he wouldn't be able to use it properly for a few weeks yet; he just wanted to know which one specifically would choose him. And why.

It took a great amount of self-restraint to not come barrelling into the shop or get too far ahead of his siblings, but Art managed it. He was first inside the door though, on account of being excited and eleven, but skirting the occupants of the shop left him near some kind of seating area, and his attention was temporarily diverted.

"Ooh, do they have hot chocolate?" he asked his siblings (who were hopefully right behind him), while eyeing up the refreshments. Yes, it was summer, but this was hot chocolate they were talking about.

He was going to be a Gryffindor, Emma knew it.

Well, she didn’t KNOW know it, but she knew you know? Looking at her little brother rushing to the shop. All of that energy and excitement, he was totally gonna be a gryffindor just like Lucas was a Gryffindor, she was a Gryffindor, and their father was a Gryffindor. It literally ran in the family. Mum was just a perfect balance of the second best house in the school. If he got that house it’d be cool, but other houses were unacceptable.

Not that it mattered, because Arthur was gonna be a Gryffindor.

That (and him being THE NEXT DAKEST TO INVADE HOGWARTS) is what had Emma spending her summer holiday back home with the family. Who ELSE was going to take Art to get his FIRST WAND? Their parents? She didn’t think so. This was a job for the BEST older siblings a kid could ask for.

Long legs kept Emma close behind Art and right beside Lucas. She chattered away with Lu about all the awesome things Art was finally going to get to experience and what she thought his wand would be.

”Pfftt! They can’t have hot chocolate. That’d get all over the wands and they’d be too sticky to use.” She scooted up closer to him, making room for the family trying to squeeze in behind them. It had been a while since she last stepped foot in here, had it always been this small? ”We can have hot chocolate and whatever else you want after we get your FIRST wand.” She wiggled her eyebrows with the biggest matching grin.
