 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Brandon wasn't alone this time. He'd been collecting most of his school supplies by himself, but his wand fitting was supposed to be special, and his older sister Ashley had insisted on coming. She felt bad about his current situation, and he thought she needed fresh air. And he hated being lonely, and needed someone to be here for him. He entered the shop, protectively holding her hand(Ash was quite certain that she was protecting him). He took in every detail- the wand boxes, the measuring tape, the other kids and the staff. The chaos- organized.
He could tell that he was supposed to stand by the measuring tape. He didn't like it and it was much too close to him for him to feel comfortable. He stood perfectly still as it measured too many things and was secretly relieved when it left. Then he stepped out of the way, taking up his older sister's hand again, and waited properly for one of the staff members to assist him.
There were too many people in here.
