SPOILER!!: FearlessLeader19

Ah, the summer rush. Most wonderful time of the year. Zeke had been tidying - of course - in the back room, but as soon as his next batch of customers had arrived, he'd emerged to check the measurements that had been sent his way, and then quietly gone a-hunting for some wand choices.

"Hello, hello, hello," came the voice of the wandmaker, emerging from some shelves with a few wand boxes stacked in each hand. He smiled indulgently at his young customer and placed the boxes in one hand on his counter, then lined them up. Oh yes, he was fairly confident of the wand wood in this situation, but these things sometimes took a little fine-tuning. "Beautiful day outside, isn't it? I do hope the warm weather lasts this summer."

Zeke knew, however, that his customers were often too eager for wands to start discussing the weather, and he was more than ready for that part too. He opened up the first wand box, and offered it. "Give this a wave, and we'll see how you get on with it, shall we?"

... and, seeing as these two appeared to have come to the shop together, and given his measuring tape had seen to them in quick succession, Zeke had already decided to see to them at the same time. "And hello to you as well."

This was where his other handful of boxes came in. Zeke had set them down on his other side, and now picked out one of the boxes - after a little deliberation because, again, the measurements gave him a very strong indication of The One™, but that did not necessarily mean that they'd get it in one. He did always like to try, though.

Holding out one of the wand boxes to this next young customer, he removed its lid and smiled. "Here you are. Try this out, and tell me if you think it's the one, or if we ought to try another." Usually it was obvious, but in a way it depended on the wand, and on the individual being fitted.

Her first wand! What fun! Dy could hardly wait, having heard tales from her fathers and older brothers of their respective experiences at Ollivander’s. Goodness knew how many wands she would have to try first but as much as she wanted to choose one quickly, she knew she would have no choice but to stick to the process no matter how long it took. Somewhere in the process of entering the shop and skipping past papa Benny and Nads, Dy found herself at the Wand Fitting area. Why? Well, the girl had been eager to see that measuring tape she heard so much about! There it was! Where was Nads? She needed to get here pronto! Dy scooted back slightly in Nads’ direction. “Nads! Get over here!’’ Only to notice that her sister seemed to be having a moment due to the vast number of boxes on display. "I've interrupted a deep thought, haven't I?" They may not look identical but they did share a womb {their crazy, fun aunt’s on dad Adi’s side} so Dynah did know the other girl well. “Sorry, but come on!” The older twin scurried away, back towards the measuring tape. The moment she had come close to it, it was taking her arm measurements. The process put her in a fit of giggles for no apparent reason. Ah, the summer rush. Most wonderful time of the year.

The happy thought of getting her first wand and hitting that right of passage of getting older and able to explore more of the world. Her curiosity at getting to see Hogwarts and all they would be learning was hard to ignore. “Coming…coming.” Cue the return of the bouncy energy at the prospect of what was to come. “Not about to shove you aside to get there first,” she teased as the measure tape dealt with Dy before it flitted to take care of her. The eleven year old doing her best to stay still as it worked not wanting to mess up the measurements. ... and, seeing as these two appeared to have come to the shop together, and given his measuring tape had seen to them in quick succession, Zeke had already decided to see to them at the same time.
