"You did it perfectly," Zeke told him, nodding. "In fact, I believe you've been chosen by this wand. Congratulations!"

Also, brace yourself, because Zeke was about to deliver the deets. The specs. The vital - or simply interesting - information.

"This wand is thirteen and a half inches of flexible juniper, with a core of griffin claw," he informed the young man, holding out the box so that it might be placed and the wand - plus any other purchases - rung up. "This wood tends to like honest and compassionate individuals, and is well suited to healing spells, defensive magic, and protection spells. Juniper also has an excellent little feature, because it can rarely be obtained by thievery or unsavoury means; generally it will find its way back to you if it does happen to be stolen or otherwise misappropriated." Though the key point there was that this happened when it had been intentionally taken. Alas, Zeke had not yet met a wand that would return itself when it was unintentionally misplaced. Then again, he also liked to believe that everyone he met treated the instrument with a little more reverence than that in the first place. "Juniper wands are able to purify water sources and free them from poison, and those who own them tend to be very good at apparition and flying." Not a given necessarily, but an observable pattern. "Now, the griffin claw core pairs well with dextrous users who can cast spells with finesse, so you'll find delicate wand movements will feel more natural. You'll also find protection spells and shields to be some of the easier spells for you to master. It's a core that's ill-suited to dark magic or nefarious endeavours, and this is also not an easy wand to pass on to another. Griffin claw wands bond very closely to their original owners." Which, in Zeke's learned opinion, was a highly desirable trait for a wand.

He smiled at the boy again. "And that's that. The wand itself will be 10 galleons, and we also have some other products too, if you're interested."

Did Diego hear that right? He did it! "Yippe!" He gave a little hop in excitement at having his first wand! He couldn't wait to show it off to his Papa, Daddy, and friend Vi! Maybe he and Vi could compare each other's wands and see which is bigger and better?

But first, important stuff was being shared. Diego remembered wand qualities being discussed occasionally in his Year 6 Theory of Magic class. He felt like he should be taking notes, not because it was a lot of information but it was something he'd want to look back on years from now and not forget it. "Wow.. thank you! Erm, could I get all of that in writing, please?" He wondered if the Wandmaker was asked that often. He would hope so. So he could be potentially a great apparitioner and protective. He liked hearing that!

So that was that! Price was made to him. Diego looked at the price chart and thought a polish would be good to add as he took out his money bag. "That sounds great, sir. I can pay for that and Wand polish, please." Having his wand look nice and pristine every so often would be great. So he fished out 12 galleons and set it on the counter to pay in case that covered it. "Is this enough?"
