DISPLAY WANDS ARE NOT FOR SALE. Please see a wandmaker for assistance if you wish to purchase a wand.
WANDLORE REFERENCE BOOKS ARE NOT FOR SALE. Please see the books available for purchase at the counter.
NO FOOD OR PETS PERMITTED PAST THIS POINT. OR ELSE.
Entering the shop, you'll notice a cozy little area to the left, filled with a couple of sturdy and actually pleasant looking chairs in front of the rather large window with a rug underfoot. From here you can watch the chaos of children being matched with their first wands. Tea and coffee is available for parents while they wait for their children to be matched with their wands. There is a display of wands here in a glass case, some of them once owned by famous witches and wizards and labelled as such. Recognize any names? That's fine, but don't touch. They are part of a personal collection, on loan to Ollivanders, and are not for sale. There is also a display of holsters, polishes, and other bits and pieces. To one side there is an old brass wand-weighing machine, which will, if you place your wand on the scale and place a sickle in the coin slot, spit out a slip of parchment with your wand's specifications on it. It has been modified further however, to add recommendations of products that ought to be used on said wand such as the very polishes, oils, and rubs that just so happen to be on display. Nearby is a shelf of books on wand-related topics, also on loan to Ollivanders. You are permitted to read them if you like, but they are not for sale. If you attempt to take them out of the store they will snap at your fingers, so be warned.

It had been awhile since Vashti had been in this shop, but it didn't appear to have changed all that much, aside from the people working there.
The biggest change, though, was that she was here with her oldest kids. Both of them eleven. Going to Hogwarts in September.
Merlin, where had the time gone?
"Go on up and let the tape measure do its job," she encouraged Regina and Naia, placing a hand on their backs and nudging them forward.
"Okay, mom," Regina replied, trying to remain calm and not bounce around with excitement. Because this was it - she was finally getting an Ollivanders wand, just like her mom and dad. And she would be using it at HOGWARTS.
It felt almost too good to be true.
She glanced at her twin, then made her way forward.

Théo was excited today was the day he was getting a wand and not even Charlie could ruin it. He also wanted to get a better wand than her and Chris. He was sure they felt the same about wanting the better wand. Even if as Chris said the wand chooses the wizard. We will see. Also a longer wand since something his cousin said about length. He wanted to ask either of them about how weird everyone was being but felt it was best to keep that to himself.
"Ready to lose again Charlie"
The only time she ever wins if she jumps on him.
He didn't really care if he lost to Chris since then he can blame it on him being smarter than Théo.
Besides having his awesome family here he was looking around for other people he knew who were starting Hogwarts in September

AHEM. That showed how much TheoBORE knew if he thought Charlie couldn't ruin today. She was excellent at ruining things. All kinds of things. Mostly furniture. She had muddied up approximately seven couches this year alone. And the year wasn't even halfway done. Charlie was the champion of ruination.
With both of her brothers at her heels, because she liked to make an ENTRANCE, Charlie swished into the shop. She knocked her cousin, Theo, with her shoulder and then smiled cutely at Felicity. Ladies had to stick together against smelly brothers.
"Theo, stop being so obsessed with me. It's weird." Hehehe. She was so gonna get a better wand than him. Because pretty people always got what they wanted. Life was just better for good looking people. Dylan said so.

Because he was. Terrified. Sort of. Maybe. Very. Actually.
Abey had dragged Lilian and Hassan to the wand shop, while somehow simultaneously hiding behind them. Somehow, actually, even though he was MUCH MORE CONFIDENT and at ease around his family, it was when he was with his family and around strangers that his shyness was as bad as ever. When they weren't around, he could ACT confident. But when they were around... he didn't NEED to act. But he did. But he didn't.
Gnawing at his lower lip and holding VERY TIGHTLY onto both Hassan and Lilian's hands, Abey looked off towards the measuring area that everyone else was heading to on their own, and felt his heart slam wildly in his chest.
What if... what if he got a BAD wand. Did they do bad wands? Wands that were for weak wizards? Probably. Would he be INSTANTLY OUTED right here in this shop? Would the wandmaker laugh at him? Would Hassan and Lilian be disappointed in him? Ultimately, was it really worth the stress? All the excitement and bouncing around and memories of thrilled celebrations seemed to fade away in an instant.
"Um... let's go home. I'll... just get mama to owl order my wand actually..." Did they do those? Probably not. "Or... or maybe I can have Jaddi's old wand." Did someone still have that? He wasn't sure.
Did Abey really want to leave? No. He wanted a WAND. An OLLIVANDER'S WAND. But this was a lot scarier than he had imagined, and he didn't want to get it wrong. Théo was here too, and Abey didn't want to look like a fool in front of him, actually, and he ducked back, attempting to hide between his brother and sister, but at the same time trying to drum up the courage to go up to the measuring area.
Maybe Hassan could go up for him.
The plan had been, originally, to spend all summer on some uncharted island with his BEAUTIFUL new wife, both of them half naked, and completely drunk on love. They'd be far away from all of the press their new marriage had been receiving, and not close enough to each other. It was a good plan, Hassan thought, and he was fully prepared to fulfill this plan with but one stipulation. That he came back to London so that he and Lilian could take their baby brother to get his first wand.
This was a momentous occasion, almost bigger than him getting married even. A boy always remembered his first wand. Just walking through those old doors brought on a rush of memories for him. He was maybe a little taller than Abey - but just as skinny - when he came bolting in with his parents and sister. The second trip was just the following year for Lillian's wand. The third? For a replacement wand (ahem) was with his grandfather in the middle of his third year. All of the subsequent visits where with his little cousins as he enjoyed being apart of all of their lives and the big events that came along.
Now it was Abey's time, and Hassan couldn't have been more proud.
Making a quick getaway from his honeymoon, he met Lilian and Abey at the shop to make sure this day was ALL about his little brother. He didn't want to steal any of this shine. He probably couldn't if he tried just because Abey was an amazing little kid.
"Jaddi's wand? Why do you want that old thing for?" Hassan gently prodded the side of his brother's head with his free hand, lightly teasing him to ease some of the eleven year old's worries. "You need you something young and fresh like you. And," He leaned down, brown eyes darting around as if he were about to tell his brother some great secret. His voice loud enough for just the three of them to hear. "If we don't get your wand now, we can't get the surprise Lily and I have for you after." The eldest Botros shrugged himself back up then winked over at his sister.

Dylan, who was right on the heels of his rambunctious little sister, had a firm grip on the other twins' hand [Christopher]. He'd thought he could control this situation today...and had been managing perfectly until they'd neared the old wand shop. Apparently, excitement won out over appropriate behaviors.
"Charlie." The former Slytherin warned the girl with a look, his tone of voice also conveying that she should play nice, despite her spoiled upbringing. These children were stressing him out enough with their rapid aging. He'd NOT given either twin permission to grow up this fast.
Moving fully into the space of the shop, he propped himself up against a wooden pillar, finally releasing Chris' hand. "Luca. Felicity..." Dylan smirked. "How's married life treating you?" And to Luca... "Fatherhood?" He'd not kept up with his family members, truth be told, but he had his own life to live. They certainly didn't need him neck deep in their affairs. And he couldn't be arsed, anyway.
"You two... Go get measured." They needed to get robes, their books... There was a lot to do today.
Christopher couldn't believe he was actually in a wandshop...about to be fitted for his very own wand. If the small boy thought about it at great length, he'd have overwhelmed himself with the weight of this responsibility. It was a responsibility, wasn't it? He'd read that wands were meant to be lifelong companions. Lifelong. That was a lot of time to consider; the rest of his life and everything.
Following closely behind the older members of his family, Chris quietly took a gander around the shop; enjoying the strange smell of polish and wood at once. It was a very interesting atmosphere.... but also very hectic. It was packed.
"Okay." Not engaging Theo or Charlie as they bickered with one another, save to latch onto his sister's hand, he did as he was told; approaching the measuring tape (and dragging his sister along with him).

If the woman didn't know any better, it seemed as though the two most important boys in her life - her brothers, of course - were out to make her emotional during the course of one summer. Hassan's wedding was enough to set her emotions on edge but add in her baby brother's first wand selection and it was starting to get a bit much. Really, her brothers were just making it difficult for her to remain strong and capable.
It was probably because of this reason that Lilian wore an outfit that made her feel confident as well as look it. She remembered being here for her own wand selection ceremony: Hassan was the person she came with and Hassan was the one who had his ears talked off with her excited chatter about her wand and all the types of spells she wanted to cast.
When Abey piped up, she glanced down at him and gave his hand a small, comforting squeeze. As always with these situations, Hassan took the lead because he was the oldest and was much better at words of comfort than she was. If wits and sarcasm were what you were looking for, Lilian was your girl. But Hassan? He just knew what to say and how to not sound offensive at the same time.
Was she jealous? A bit.
"Exactly," she agreed, "You want something that's unique to just you. Something that's yours." The smile on the woman's face only widened at the mention of the little surprise and she winked back at Hassan. "Believe me, you'll want to see this surprise," His siblings didn't disappoint, you know. "But your wand comes first, Ab. And we'll be right here to support you." No one was going to make them leave this scene.

No one.
Lots of lip chewing was happening, as Abey continued to staaaaaare over towards the measuring station thingy, the butterflies in his tummy getting so lively he was starting to feel a little funny actually. He tilted his head up to look at Hassan when his big brother (the bestest big brother ever, by the way) spoke, then looked between him and the counter, and then at Lilian (by the way, the bestest big sister ever, actually). He wasn't totally convinced just yet, and it was clear on his face.
Until...
"Surprise?" Abey looked between them again, suddenly perking up. A surprise like a present? Whatever it was, it sounded GOOD. Surprises were always good, weren't they? Except for bad surprises, but Hassan and Lilian wouldn't give him a bad surprise not ever ever actually. Abey knew that.
He seemed to mull it over for a moment or two longer, before...
"Okay!" And, after flashing a sudden toothy grin at both siblings, Abey relinquished his grip on their hands and hurried across towards the tape measure's domain, the spring already back in his step.
Though he continued to look back at Hassan and Lilian from time to time, just to reassure himself that they were THERE.
They were.

Holy sweet Merlin, HOW did they get here? How was it at all possible that his eldest children were now 'of age' and ready for their own wands? It was just yesterday that he'd changed their diapers and begged them to stop crying and taught them the virtues of NOT pulling on his tail. Now they were standing here, hanging off him with the rest of their siblings and bursting with immeasurable excitement.
He wasn't ready for this. Another year? Yes? Why couldn't they have been born in September? They'd have to sit out then and he'd have them that much longer.
Two less children at home. Two less smiles to greet him in the morning...two less to accidentally lose when they went to the store....two less to run around the house screaming....two less to interrupt at all the worst times...."Alright, step right up, who's getting their wand first, no time to waste." Two less didn't sound half bad at all. Maddox found himself nudging the two forward, careful not to bump them into their other siblings too roughly. It was hard to tell in a sea of children, especially when they all insisted on huddling so closely.
His own wand! His OWN wand. No more waving his daddy's wand and pretending to be all powerful, now he would have his own and all his siblings would have to listen to absolutely everything he said. Christopher (never Chris) might have been bouncing on the balls of his feet from excitement but no, he wasn't like the little children who came with their parents today, he was a responsible soon to be adult child.
The little boy liked to think he was far more grown than he actually was and today was no exception. "No pushing Daniel and Connor, you can't have your wands today on account of you two still being little so it's pointless." His grown up, mightier than thou voice was in full swing as he chided the squabbling 8 year olds. They were SUCH children, honestly. Never knew how to act when they went out. Not like him and not like Demetria.
At his father's prompting, Christopher moved toward the counter, his hand firmly around the wrist of his twin. "Come on, Demi!" His waaaaaand. THEIR WANDS.
Her silence was the stoic sort. For all the thrill that came with knowing she'd get her wand in just a few minutes, the little girl wore a grave expression. It wasn't in her nature to smile, nor was she the type to join the giggles and babblings of her younger siblings. Make no mistake, she was absolutely BURSTING--you just couldn't tell.
Always having been the silent type, Demetria didn't chide her siblings like Christopher did. Instead, she shot Sophie a glare that sufficiently conveyed her disinterest in having her arm yanked and her ear chatted off. Of all her siblings, it was always very clear which she fancied the least, though it was nothing to do with anything the 9 year old did. They simply didn't get along. More accurately, she never tried to get along with her younger sister.
No protest was given at her brother's tugging, the girl simply followed along, working as hard as she could to contain her enthusiasm. She would not gush and squeal and have grownups think it an invitation to make nice conversation with her. No thank you.
Maddox took a seat to the side of the shop, pulling his three remaining children into his grasp while he watched his eldest go off to get fitted for their wands. It was a proud moment to be sure. One he wasn't sure how to really react to. They were so grown now and would only keep going. Sapphire eyes fell on the remaining three who all fought for spots on his lap. They were still young, but he would be doing this again before he knew it.

If Felicity didn't adore her younger brother as much as she did, it was certain that she would not be here right now. Why her parents had agreed to send Théodore to Hogwarts was beyond her wildest belief and she was still avoiding both of them as best as she could, despite spending most of her time under the same roof as Dahlia. Things at home were questionably worse than ever and Felicity had every intention of leaving once more when September came so that she could throw herself into her own school work and finish her degree finally. Maybe then she'd have something to one-up her husband once and for all.
"Théodore, brag with pride. Not boast." And because she believed in Charlie a little more than she did Théo, she messed with his hair and left a lipstick kiss on his forehead.
This was parenting at it's best, and she wasn't even a parent.

He felt a certain way about not bringing Ava around today but he figured since Fliss would be here and since the way things went the last time he opted against it and left her at home. Images of her coming to get a wand flashed through his mind and he couldn't help but smile, even though him and Byron weren't together they were doing alright at this co-parent thing.
He also felt severely out of place and like he didn't belong but he promised his mother AND Theo that he would be here for this. Even though he didn't meet at the house he did meet at the shop and well that's good enough for him.

She had muddied up approximately seven couches this year alone. And the year wasn't even halfway done. Charlie was the champion of ruination.
With both of her brothers at her heels, because she liked to make an ENTRANCE, Charlie swished into the shop. She knocked her cousin, Theo, with her shoulder and then smiled cutely at Felicity. Ladies had to stick together against smelly brothers.
"Theo, stop being so obsessed with me. It's weird." Hehehe. She was so gonna get a better wand than him. Because pretty people always got what they wanted. Life was just better for good looking people. Dylan said so.

"Charlie." The former Slytherin warned the girl with a look, his tone of voice also conveying that she should play nice, despite her spoiled upbringing. These children were stressing him out enough with their rapid aging. He'd NOT given either twin permission to grow up this fast.
Moving fully into the space of the shop, he propped himself up against a wooden pillar, finally releasing Chris' hand. "Luca. Felicity..." Dylan smirked. "How's married life treating you?" And to Luca... "Fatherhood?" He'd not kept up with his family members, truth be told, but he had his own life to live. They certainly didn't need him neck deep in their affairs. And he couldn't be arsed, anyway.
"You two... Go get measured." They needed to get robes, their books... There was a lot to do today.
Christopher couldn't believe he was actually in a wandshop...about to be fitted for his very own wand. If the small boy thought about it at great length, he'd have overwhelmed himself with the weight of this responsibility. It was a responsibility, wasn't it? He'd read that wands were meant to be lifelong companions. Lifelong. That was a lot of time to consider; the rest of his life and everything.
Following closely behind the older members of his family, Chris quietly took a gander around the shop; enjoying the strange smell of polish and wood at once. It was a very interesting atmosphere.... but also very hectic. It was packed.
"Okay." Not engaging Theo or Charlie as they bickered with one another, save to latch onto his sister's hand, he did as he was told; approaching the measuring tape (and dragging his sister along with him).
What did that mean. Was he even bragging. It was more of a challenge than anything else. He did want a better wand than her. Plus it was a fact. But he was not going to argue. Also that was embarrassing Flick. There could be people he knows here. Like he thought he saw Abey over there by was that Hassan Botros. Never-mind. He took the napkin from Luca, thanked him and started rubbing the spot she kissed.. Okay now it made more sense even though he had no idea how to boast from pride.
"Yeah, it will be cool when i can finally learn magic like you guys can do"
And Charlie being Charlie. Why could she just be normal. And yes she was a master of ruining things. Even knocking him with her shoulder. OW.
Crazy Charlie
"Know you are, but what am i"
He muttered. Not his best comeback but the only thing he got. But at least Dylan was here. The only person missing was Lee. But the odds of her coming in here were close to zero. He smiled at Chris.
"You ready Chris?"
Oh guess it was time to get measured.

It was about time that she was old enough to go to Hogwarts and even get her very own wand. She had waited way too long for this. Elven years was a very long time to her. Hogwarts was going to be amazing and she just knew that she would be in Slytherin just like her famous daddy! Oh, she was going to talk about how famous he was all the time. Unless that wasn't fine by him but he would have to tell her.
Ashlynn Romalotti held on to her father's hand as they walked through Diagon Alley. She wished her mother was here but it fine because it was going to be a daddy-daughter day but she still missed her mother, no matter how annoying she was with chores and having to play with her brothers and sisters before she she was even able to play Quidditch but she loved her mommy anyway and she knew that daddy loves mommy very much. As much as she loves her mother she wanted to be just like her father, Asher Romalotti quidditch star! Her mother was just a healer and pretty boring at times.

"Excited for your wands?" He knew Theo had to be, his baby brother did nothing but talk about it for as long as he could remember,Chris and Charlie, he swore they were only born just yesterday and he was feeling old.
He felt a certain way about not bringing Ava around today but he figured since Fliss would be here and since the way things went the last time he opted against it and left her at home. Images of her coming to get a wand flashed through his mind and he couldn't help but smile, even though him and Byron weren't together they were doing alright at this co-parent thing.
He also felt severely out of place and like he didn't belong but he promised his mother AND Theo that he would be here for this. Even though he didn't meet at the house he did meet at the shop and well that's good enough for him.

"No one else in here is rubbing kisses off their head. Don't be ungrateful, Théodore." And it wasn't like anyone else was getting any kisses any time soon. She had no intention of going near the man she was legally supposes to kiss, and now that she was home...she clearly wasn't going to be finding new friends on the party scene. Married life was awful and she hated it. Something that Felicity hated more than her marriage was her older brother. Luca got absolutely none of her attention, she chose to adjust the clasp on her shoe whilst he conversed with Théodore - another thing that disgusted her. The fact that her little brother was as fluffy as a bunny when people were outrageously disrespectful and traitorous...that was the only thing that got under her skin about the youngest of the three. His fluffyness.
She returned Charlie's smile, equally as cutely...or as cute as she could be when over twenty one. Was she considered an old lady now, especially when she came out with children? Stepping out in public with three Hogwarts aged children was a whole world away from the people she had spent the six months she had been 'missing' for.
Dylan was slowly heading to Luca-ville and she gave him a look before returning her attention to her shoes. "It's perfectly well. Nicky and I are blissfully happy." Blissfully not seeing one another since their wedding day in January, more like.
It was about time that she was old enough to go to Hogwarts and even get her very own wand. She had waited way too long for this. Elven years was a very long time to her.

As much as she loves her mother she wanted to be just like her father, Asher Romalotti quidditch star! Her mother was just a healer and pretty boring at times.
What was this? His oldest daughter was getting her first wand. Her first wand, let that sink in for a bit. Asher was less than willing to admit that he did not like the fact that his little girl was growing up. Wasn't she just born yesterday?
Some days it seems like it. "Are you ready for this?" Because he wasn't. His brown eyes glanced down at his little princess. He was going to cry his baby. Asher Romalotti did not get emotional in less it was about his kids.

They meeting with Andi's mom had not gone as well as Kay would have liked but in the end, little Andi was allowed to visit Diagon Alley with her. "The first place we'll be visiting is Ollivander's. This is the best place to get a wand. Are you excited?'' She looked down at the girl beside her with a smile. Kay was doing her best to explain as best as she could without confusing Andi. It did help that she was already fond of her.
Kaysha held the door open so that her company could enter. "All you need to do is go to the measuring area and the shopkeepers will be able to help you.'' She indicated the area. "I'll be right here waiting for you, Ms Rourke.''
Oliver stepped through the doors of Ollivanders, thinking back instantly to getting his wand. Only this time He was an intern. Which he'd been excited about since he got the letting stating that it was happening.
Just thinking of all the kids coming in this summer to get their wands was amazing, there would most likely be some adults and stuff? Getting replacement wands and secondary wands? Aurors and all that? Was that a ting or was that just for the stories to make them seem awesome?
So many questions and LOTS of curiosity. He wanted to know more about the measuring tape. But for now He thought he should have start with finding Florian.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
He knew he couldn't buy a wand yet. He knew that he was only ten years old but Dorian still entered the wand shop in the hope that they thought he was older than ten and that he'd get a wand for his own already.
But he soon chickened out on the idea and moved towards some chairs he had seen near the entrance and sat one of the big ones, his feet dangling in the air. The boy sat there, watching with jealousy in his eyes as students who were old enough come in and try out their new wands.
He wanted to do magic too! Maybe someone was kind enough to let him try? It couldn't hurt right? But that meant he had to ask, which he did not like. DILEMMA!

Florian had been a touch late coming in that morning due to a family emergency (concerning his morally challenged younger brother)... but upon arriving, he happened across the young Mister Lupin. His and Fiona's intern for the summer! Florian certainly hoped the young man had been on time... Being late made him irritable, but there was nothing that could be done about this now. The dilemma had been sorted and wouldn't need to be revisited. A one-off, if you would.
"Mr. Lupin! It's delightful to see your face bright and early this morning." Florian would've ventured to address the young man by his first name, but there was a strange line with professionalism, and he was hyper-aware of the guidelines. It was best to not be too lax. "Join us in the back..."

Younger children. They were a wonderful enigma for the thirty-one year old. If he weren't mistaken, however, Florian thought he could sense the longing permeating from the child.
Perhaps it was the expression on his face...
"Help yourself to some flowers, but try not to linger." They'd be getting busy, and he could've gotten lost from his parents!

Once Dorian had noticed that the man whom he had seen selling wands was walking his way, he panicked a little bit. What if he wasn't allowed to be here anyways? What if this area was only for paying customers? Was he going to be kicked out now?!
Before he knew it, he heard the man speak to him and he sighed softly. Okay so he wasn't mad but didn't want him to linger either. "I'm sorry, okay" he muttered, gazing past the man as he saw another eleven year old try a wand.
"Can i try once?" he asked suddenly as his blue eyes looked back up to the owner. "Just a" he swished his hand as if he was waving a wand like he had seen his father and grandfather do at home. "I'm almost eleven!" he added hopefully. "Please?" his father had always said that politeness could take a person far. Speaking of him, Dorian checked his bright orange watch around his wrist. Mweh he was going to be picked up soon, he wanted to stay longer in diagon alley!

Even though she was doing her best to avoid home right now after the news Mrs. Stewart had given her family, the words of her mother and step-father kept echoing in her ears. Was she evil and a freak of nature like they said, or something special like Mrs. Stewart seemed to think? It was hard to understand what exactly being a witch meant, when all she had known about that meant bad things, especially when her family thought the same. No wonder she had felt so different most of her life though and like her parents didn't really want her around.

She didn't really know what she was supposed to be feeling.
The eleven year old looked at the area where other kids were waiting to get their wand, the place where Mrs. Stewart was pointing, before looking back at her again. Yes, she realized that she was supposed to call her Professor Stewart, but she kept forgetting and it was hard to get used to anyway. "You aren't coming with me?" Yeah, she knew that it wasn't very far away, but this was all still such a new thing for her. She didn't really want to do it by herself.

Oh, had he beaten Mr. Florian there? He smiled excitedly at the Wandmaker, his mentor? Was it too early to brand him such a thing? Probably. But either way he was excited to learn! "You too, Mr. Florian! I'm really excited to get started." The boy nodded and followed Florian's lead.
"I've never really interned before so i'm not really sure what you'd like me to be doing but i'm just hoping to soak up some knowledge." Did that sound too immature?

...Mr. Florian? The wandmaker gave his young intern a surprised once over. It was strange to be addressed in that way; the one that elevated you in social standing. A token of respect, surely, but still a strange occurrence. "Just Florian is fine, unless you prefer to call me by the other." Either way, he wasn't too fussed. They would be getting busy and names would hardly matter during that whirlwind. A fun whirlwind, but still a whirlwind, nonetheless.
As for duties... If he could admit such a thing, he was also new to the intern game. Ira Banner had Sophie Brown, but their relationship was a strange, yet fascinating, one to behold. Florian wasn't nearly as unpleasant... and he would've preferred to keep this as enjoyable as possible. No grumpiness to speak of. "I think we'll start with helping to restock wands that have been a miss. The boxes are marked with shelving numbers." If he did well with that, they could move to something else.
"Is that acceptable for you?"

He'd just been about to move towards the back.. when the smol child he'd just warned about loitering requested to handle a wand. Doing a double-take, Florian...frowned, concerned now. Handling the wands before you were ready to do so was a bad idea, even though young children often got a hold of their parents'... "No wands until you've reached the right age." There was a push to seem authoritative, but.. not discouraging. Eagerness should never be frowned upon.
And...
... Truth of the matter, Florian Dudemeither-Quackenboss was simply too nice to disappoint this child. In doing so, he disappointed himself. One day..."How about something else?" It was quietly said. "Join me at the counter."

Noticing the look of surprise Oliver had to wonder if he said something wrong? But then he went over what he'd said in his head as quickly as possible. "Florian works.." Some adults were very particular about what you called them and what was acceptable. Besides he was hoping they'd be on a first name basis by the end of the summer.
And maybe he was getting ahead of himself but he had to remember to ask Florian what subjects were most important OWLs to try to ace for wandmaking cause he wasn't sure. If only Hogwarts had a seminar on it.
"Yes, i think i can handle that." His hazel eyes looking over the boxes of wands that had yet to meet their wizards. Corresponding numbers seemed the best way to do this. Oliver would organize them first and then get them onto their shelves. If only he could use MAGIC.

That measuring tape... it had been here at Ollivander's for as long as Kay could remember. In secret, she was always amused whenever someone stepped up to the Measuring Area. The tape was something to witness when it was in its element. However, she directed her attention back to Andi and shook her head. "Not this time. The shopkeepers will help you with everything you need.'' Andi got an encouraging smile from her.
The girl might not be excited now but Kay was sure this will change sometime even if not today. "First you need to be measured so go ahead. I'm sure you won't be intimidated by the tape.'' Because from what she had learnt so far about Andi, she was a determined little lady.

After three months, two weeks, and four days of counting IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR HER TO GET HER WAND. Emma Dakest was SO EXCITED! It was only the current most BIGGEST moment of her witch LIFE. She hadn't liked being told she had to wait when she turned eleven, or the having to wait (it was TORTURE) because who had time for THAT?? It was sorta kinda okay because she was not only getting her wand now, but she was getting it with one of her bestest friends EVER.
Taking up the lead of their small group, excitedly pulling Alanna by the hand, she BURST through the doors of the wand shop with the BIGGEST grin on her face. "Do you think there's a line? I WANNA BE FIRST!" And because Emma was gonna be first, so was 'Lanna. Bestest friends were always first TOGETHER.

She must obviously have been dreaming and if she was it was the absolute best dream in the entire world--next to the one where Justine Janvier replied to a letter from her (WHICH ACTUALLY WASN'T A DREAM JUST LIKE THIS WASN'T A DREAM AND REALLY HOW DID ONE CONTAIN THEIR EXCITEMENT????).
Easily, if you were Alanna Botros.
Never wanting to draw too much, or any, attention to herself the 11 year old quietly allowed Emma to drag her into the shop. She was soooooo excited she might have exploded into fireworks and confetti but on the outside, the little girl looked almost subdued. The only give away to the level of energy and nerves running through her came from bright, wild eyes currently searching the shop to find a response to the question posed.
"It's a small one." She all but whispered, tugging her friend to a stop because she KNEW Emma might try to drag them to the front and others would stare and the little girl wasn't ready for that kind of anxiety on what was already such a BIG day.
Lanna glanced behind her to be sure her brother was still there before looking to the line again. What if they run out before we get there?" HOW WOULD SHE BE A PROPER WHICH THEN?????????

Easily, if you were Alanna Botros.

Emma didn't have the SLIGHTEST idea on what Lanna was going on about when she was talking about size (small wands? Those didn't EXIST did they??? Emma wanted a BIG WAND) until her bestest friend pulled back against her tugging to the back of his line. What? Oh. Fine. She bounced from one foot to another. "I want it to move faster." She wanted her wand RIGHT NOW. The wait had already been too long. Would her mama let her use it right after she got it? She peaked back a glance at her mama, who was too busy watching over Jamey to notice.
Still too busy noticing everything and everyone else, that she had to replay the words for them to really sink in and have her brown eyes growing BIG. "They don't run out! They can't run out. My papa says they have a whole BUNCH, even for when you break your wand." Which would neverrrr happen with her. But just in case, she looked back at her mama again, this time with a purpose, and then looked back at Alanna with confidence when she got a head nod. "See, I'm right. We'll get our wands!" And maybe more for her brothers too!

Catherine really did want to go into the shop, but she had never done it before, so she... didn't.
The 4 year-old politely stood outside, gazing through the big glassed display windows as some people she didn't know did what they had to do inside.
She could feel her curiosity growing inside of her, so much that she could almost explode! But no, no, she wasn't going in first. She looked tentatively at her brother and then up at their 'uncle', hoping they would go into the shop so she could take a closer look at... everything.
