She didn't want to go to Diagon Alley. To be clear, Rae didn't want to be anywhere near Mrs. Birch, her mean children, or the bustling streets that disoriented her. Things were confusing enough without the woman insisting they go school shopping for a school she didn't want to go to and if Justin--the woman's eldest son--could be believed, getting a wand would be the end of her accidental magic.
Accident or not, the little girl was quite fond of the way it showed up just when she needed it and worried that a wand would make things unnecessarily difficult. She would have to learn real spells and if she didn't...would she never be able to use magic again?
When it was her turn, Rae had to be nudged up to the measuring tape. She'd seen the way it zipped around those who'd gone before her and was...grudgingly intrigued, but there was no time to be impressed. They'd taken her there to steal her magic and she was too small to do anything about it. While Mrs. Birch had made insistences to the contrary, Rae had had enough experience with lying adults to not believe a word out of her prim and proper mouth.
Stepping up, Rae extended her hands and watched the tape work, scowling at the thing because she KNEW what it was trying to do. Seconds later, it was gone and her dread intensified.
