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.

OOC: You may make your own role plays here. Your characters may chat to one another or wait for a friend to be helped at the counter. Please note that this area is in view of the counter and the wandmakers can see what you are doing, so be sure your character does not cause trouble or they'll kick your character out! This is an unmanned thread and if you require shopkeeper interaction, you'll need to post them at the Counter and Wand Fittings area.

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. Was he going to get paid for this? Hopefully. Hopefully. Having been guilt-tripped by his cousin Mordred, Ethan agreed to take out his twins on a Saturday to visit the old wizarding shopping centre. It was a good thing that the kids knew how to follow orders, but then again, they were both so young to actually listen. See exhibit A: Catherine Mordaunt. He'd explicitly said not to wander far but she did. Ethan, who feared Mordred's wrath the most, had to drag Noah in a haste while the male twin was eating his ice cream.
Merlin, if only he could lasso these children and attach them both to his legs, he would.
Sighing a quiet relief, Ethan approached Catherine with her twin sporting a messy face filled with sticky substance, and an ice cream stained front. He'd have to deal with that later. Or face Sophie's wrath this time. "So, anything interesting in there, Catherine?" Of course Ethan knew what was being sold in this shop. However, switching his thoughts to that of a four-year-old came naturally to him. Aksjfsdkfjdsknring!!! Why were they running?! "UNCLE ETHAAAN!" Noah wailed in protest as he got ice cream all over his face and up his nostrils. Apparently, their uncle forgot that he's got short legs to keep up with his strides.
Once they slowed down, Noah wriggled his hand free from his uncle and wiped his face with the back of his hand and onto his shirt. He wrinkled up his nose and let out a loud sneeze! "AAHHHCHOOO!!!" Good, ice cream's out!
More wiping happened (on himself and his uncle's trousers), and Noah joined his sister up front the store. He had his dirty nose pressed on the glass and looked at the objects on display. "They are selling sticks, Uncle." Now what was so fascinating about that?

"They are selling sticks, Uncle." Now what was so fascinating about that? When her brother sneezed and goo and ice cream came out of all the holes in his face, pretty much, Catherine sent him a disgusted, unimpressed look. She didn't need to tell him that was gross, her look alone was enough.
She opened her mouth to reply to their uncle when Noah butted in and said they were selling sticks. "They're not sticks, they're wands! Like ones mummy and daddy have!" Duh!!! So much for having an intelligent sibling!!!
The little brunette rolled her eyes and, rather annoyed, looked back at the shop. "Can we go in?" She asked, directed at uncle Ethan because her brother knew nothing. | |

The little brunette rolled her eyes and, rather annoyed, looked back at the shop. "Can we go in?" She asked, directed at uncle Ethan because her brother knew nothing. Noah simply gave his twin a toothy smile while snot dripped down his nostrils. "I got it all out!" he exclaimed, rather proud of his achievement. The disgusted look on Catherine's face wasn't registered at all. He thought it was a normal expression from her. Did that mean he was always disgusting? Probably.
Noah made a face and shrugged at his sister's reply, "That's what I call it. Sticks." It was a magical stick...only it had a fancy name. So, technically, he was still correct.
So much for having a sibling who's like a walking and talking Wikipedia... Ethan simply opened and closed his mouth as he watched Noah sneezed his brain out. "Bless you," he said as he got his handkerchief out and wiped the child's face with it. He was rather amused by the little debate that went on, only to be asked if they could go in.
Ethan sighed and shrugged. "I don't think we can, sweetie," he said patting Catherine's head before continuing, "Unless you are of age, and is in need of a wand, then we can go in." he said looking down at his two charges. "One day though, your mum and dad will accompany you inside to get your own wands," Ethan felt that he wasn't convincing enough to peel away the curious Mordaunt from the window. Noah however, was more than ready to go to the next shop.
Parenting. Who said it would be easy?

Parenting. Who said it would be easy? Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck! Noah was as gross as he could be, no wonder Catherine often had her nose wrinkled. Gross boy!
And he called wands sticks because he wanted to. Another eye-roll to you, Noah, for being silly, silly boy.
But... they couldn't go in????? Catherine gasped quietly and took a step back to fully look at uncle Ethan's eyes. "We can't go in even if we don't buy anything??" She asked surprised, her feelings hurt. She wanted to look at the wands! "They don't allow us in if we don't buy a wand..?" The little girl asked again, a pout she couldn't control taking over her disgusted look as she hung her head and looked at her feet. "But I want to look at the wands..." Aaand her eyes started to water. | |

As far as traditions went, taking his sisters to get their first wand was high up on the list for favorites in Sebastien Toussaint's book. Surprising them with pets was also a favorite of his, but considering how Leecey wasn't a fan of caring for things (and she veto'd him when he asked her about it), he would save that for one of his many cousins or something.
It was still a shock to him that he sister was old enough to have a wand. He seriously doubted that she would put it to use, but at least she would have it and hopefully learn to use it properly, and not have others preform magic for her. Because people wouldn't always be around to protect her, and she needed to know how to do that herself.
..... Maybe he wouldn't move out of the house just yet. The thought of his baby sister out at school was suddenly, mildly terrifying.
That was part why carried her into the wand shop (another part was him just being accustomed to carrying her around), effortlessly parting through the sea of soon-to-be students eager to get their own wand. "You only have to go over there." He pointed to where the measuring tape was whizzing around kids her age, sizing them each up. "And get measured, then head over to the wandmaker. They'll get you sorted." And he would pay.
