The door to Ollivanders creaked softly as Alaric and his mother, Eleanor, stepped inside. The air seemed to hum with magic, and Alaric’s gray eyes widened as he took in the towering stacks of wand boxes. His fingers fiddled nervously with the phoenix charm on his bracelet. "This is it" he murmured, his voice shaky with a mix of excitement and nerves. His mother placed a steady hand on his shoulder. "You’ll do wonderfully" Eleanor reassured him with a soft smile. "Trust yourself—the wand will choose you."
Alaric nodded, straightening his robes and glancing toward the tape measure zipping around measuring his various parts brought a flicker of awe, momentarily easing the knot in his stomach. Fidgeting with his bracelet again, he took a deep breath. "What if it takes forever?" he whispered, stepping forward with equal parts anticipation and determination after the tape fell limb on the floor.
Eleanor’s lips twitched into a smile. "Then we’ll be here as long as it takes. It’s worth the wait for the right one."
