Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?
You can't wake up, this is not a dream
Aleah nodded her head when she said the man in the back was fine and that the door was an easy fix. At least there was that. She curled her knees up against her chest, wishing her knees didn't ache as much as they did. She had wanted today to be soley about how excited she was and fun, but she was already starting the feel the pain and she knew that by the end of the day her entire body would feel like broken glass and lead at the same time. How that was even possible she didn't know, but it was. She blinked as he gave her another wand and held her breath. She was a little wary about flicking it, worried she'd break something else.
To get some courage up, she took a moment to examine it, enjoying the cute knobs that led up the wand. They made it easier to grip with her joint issues because they made it thicker and she didn't have to close her hand as far. She liked that. Something about the wand felt right. But she didn't know anything about wands, so she didn't know how it was supposed to feel. But the wand felt warm in her hand almost. It just felt like it'd been made specifically for her. Cautiously, she flicked it gently, and instead of anything violent happening, white and blue sparkles flew from the wand just like in Cinderella when the fairy godmother turned her into a princess. Her smile grew wide with awe and she stared at it curiously. "That's a good thing right?" She asked curiously.
When he nodded affirmatively she went back to staring at it, awestruck. Suddenly she looked up at him with wide bright eyes. "Does it mean anything? I noticed you picked Rowan wood both times? Do the cores mean anything? What about the knobs?" She started rambling off her questions one after another. She bet they all meant something. There had to be a science to it all right? Or else it would just be guess and check and that seemed like it would take far too long. While he got her wand in only 2 tries! Which meant he had to be assuming things about her and guessing wands based on that! She looked up at him brightly and curiously.
At that moment another boy burst into the shop whom Bastian also knew, and soon after a rather irate woman. Apparently Sebastian's aunt. Was this boy related to everyone? She quickly lost her excitement. The woman looked like she could set fire to the place if she was angry at it instead of her son. And just like that Sebastian ran off to get his mum, and Aleah snorted quietly. Obviously he feared his Aunt's anger as well. "Uhhh I guess it's someone else's turn now. Uh...." She glanced at the midget, forgetting his name once again. He'd already exchanged muggle money into magic money and had that on him to pay for her supplies. "I dunno how much it costs... hope my parents gave you enough...." She muttered, unlocking her wheels, and rolling her chair back and out of the way of the other future students. She knew her parents weren't very well off. Her medical bills cost far too much, and their jobs weren't amazing. She didn't know how much the currency in the wizarding world was or what that meant in her money, but hopefully it was cheap. She knew how much private muggle schools costed, and her parents definitely couldn't afford that. Her dad was a mechanic, and her mum couldn't work because she was constantly taking her to appointments and meetings and school and everything else she had to go too.
She frowned, trying not to let that get her down. Her mum always told her not to worry and that they would find a way to afford it all, but she always felt bad. Without her medical bills, they'd be fine, but with them she knew they struggled. She'd heard them talk about it when they thought she was asleep. How were they supposed to afford this fancy wizarding school? It was a boarding school! It had to be expensive right? Muggle boarding schools were! She chewed on her lip and glanced at the midget again. God she really needed to remember his name. Devil? Devon? Devron? She didn't know and she didn't want to be rude and call him the wrong name! What would he do if her parents hadn't given him enough money for her supplies? Would he just plop back at home and say "sorry but you can't go you're too poor"? She frowned, staring at her lap again, where the wand lay gently. She wanted to go so bad. She wanted to experience new things, and not have to be constantly shadowed by her parents or the adult lady at school who was there to "help her". Like she was dumb or special or something. She wasn't stupid! She could learn perfectly fine! Sure her brain didn't work as fast and she forgot things really easily and she took longer to read and write and think and take tests... but that didn't make her stupid and she definitely didn't need an adult following her every move and writing her stupid notes for her! She wasn't stupid! But no one ever seemed to believe her. She hoped Hogwarts would be different. She wanted freedom from all the adults in her life.
These voices won't leave me alone,
Well my heart is golden, my hands are cold,
Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?
Do you call yourself a hurricane like me?
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.

Seth had jumped when the door blasted off the office door, and sighed when he saw Damien come through asking if he was all right. Nodding, he simply stood, already done with the wand that he'd been working on. Thankfully he hadn't actually had the wand in his hands when the crash happened, otherwise he might have snapped it in half, and hours of work would have been wasted. He did approach the front, noting the students there and deciding to help one of them who was standing off to the side. He simply nodded at the Riches, vaguely remembering Annabelle from school and looked at the young boy with her. "Sorry about the wait. I take it you're going to Hogwarts shortly? Well, let's get the measurements down and then we can get you a wand today."
He pulled out the tape measure and set it to work while he perused the shelves. Hrm, the boy seemed to be a determined sort, so perhaps dragon heartstring? Frowning, he pulled one down and pulled it out of its box, turning around and snapping his fingers to let the tape measure fall to the ground before handing the wand to the boy. "All right. That one's ash and dragon heartstring, eleven and three-quarter inches. Why don't you give it a wave and see if that's a proper fit." He settled back to wait, his eyes already scanning the shelves again as he considered another possible fit. He'd rarely had a wand work the first time around, so this one could be another one where he had to try another.

XXXXXBenny had entered the shop, deciding it silly to be outside in the rain. The minute he walked through the door he could see his cousin's face light up, and he braced for impact.
"Hey Bas!" He exclaimed and let out a huff when nearly trampled.
He didn't, however, have time to react to what would come storming through the door a second later. Now, it could have just been his imagination, but he could have sworn that he heard the door crack as it burst open and in came his mother; with lightning crackling across the sky, and thunder booming as she spoke.
His face had gone stark white and his eyes widened so much that they almost seemed to burst from his head, at the sight of his mother's rage.
"I-i j-just got excited that's all, sorry!" He stammered looking up into her eyes, and looking down at her shoulder every now and then, to avoid to full force of her rage.
He couldn't even imagine why he had thought it was a good idea to dash away from her when they had flooed together to the Leaky Cauldron, but she was right behind him, wasn't she? Or rather, he thought that she had been, but maybe the crowded streets full of other first years and their own families had done it.
He risked a side glance around the shop and noticed a few things. The first that struck him was that his cousin was leaving him alone to his mother. "Traitor!" he breathed after Sebastian, barely audible and made a mental note to pin him down until he cried uncle the second they were alone. The second was that there was a girl in a type of chair that he had never seen before, or at least had, but never fully grasped the purpose of. He didn't mean to stare, but his eyes lingered on the wheels a second longer than he had intended, and they snapped right back to his mother's leg so that he didn't seem to be ignoring her fury. The third and probably least important was that the main store clerk addressed his mother, and he figured that he was someone the family knew, and swore that he might've seen him come by the cottage when they had first moved in.
In his peripherals however, he had luckily noted that another shop clerk had come out of the back room and was serving the other boy and his mom who he had seen waiting when he first got there. This was good, the clerk that had addressed his mum might take him next before his mother spouted at him again, the girl seemed finished with finding her wand, but Benny could only hope.

Summer had finally arrived, which meant Maylene was left to her usual Diagon tours and shopping trips. She had missed it, really. She loved escorting new students around the Alley, telling them everything they needed to know for when they began their first year at Hogwarts. Today, she was leading a pair of twins, Colton and Connor Overton. She was literally leading one of them, but she didn't mind. The second twin was completely blind, so she had been holding his right hand in her left as they walked the streets. The other brother, Colton, seemed to be doing fine on his own. He seemed excitable, while Connor was rather calm. Upon arrival at Diagon Alley, the twins insisted on getting their wands first. Maylene smiled, nodded and started to lead them down the street towards the wand shop. "Here we are. Welcome to Olivanders Wand Shop, boys," she said, holding the door open and leading Connor inside. Once they were inside the shop, Maylene looked around. Surely there was someone around on a beautiful shopping day such as this one.
I'll swim and sail on savage seas with ne'er a fear of drowning, and gladly ride the waves of life if you will marry me.
No scorching sun nor freezing cold will stop me on my journey. If you will promise me your heart and love me for eternity.
My dearest one, my darling dear, your mighty words astound me, but I've no need of mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me.
I have no use for rings of gold. I care not for your poetry. I only want your hand to hold. I only want you near me.
To love, to kiss, to sweetly hold, for the dancing and the dreaming. Through all life's sorrows and delights, I'll keep your love inside me.❃ x x ❃ x x ❃

⥁Uηѕσятє∂ Ƒιяѕт Ƴєαя⥁ Colton and Connor had been relaxing at their house when a Governess from their new school came to get them. Colton had chosen to wear bright colors, where Connor wore his typical muted greys. Colton stood his brother up and hurried to the woman, excited to start their adventure. Sure enough, Maylene took the boys to a place called Diagon Alley, and got very different reactions. Colton was looking around eagerly, babbling a mile a minute about everything he saw, and Connor felt around until he could grab the woman's hand. This place sounded terribly busy, and he was good at getting lost. When asked where they wanted to go, Colton spoke up first. "Can we go get our magic wands?! Oooh! Can we! I want to start magic now!" He looked at Maylene, hoping to get her approval. Sure enough, the trio started in that direction, Connor clicking his cane on the cobblestones as he walked. It wouldn't do to walk into another person. Though, something told him Maylene would be a bit more careful of a leader than Colton seemed to be. When they reached the inside of the shop, Colton wandered a bit, looking at everything. "This place is so cool! Do we get to come here every year, or just this one?! I'd love to come here more! Oooh! How do we get wands, anyhow?" His eyes were wide, the hyper child excited over all the new stuff here. Connor stayed quiet, though he tilted his head to try and catch the sounds of the shop a bit better. Hᴏʟᴅ ᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ ᴀs ᴡᴇ ɢᴏ, ᴀs ᴡᴇ ʀᴏʟʟ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴛʜɪs ᴜɴғᴀᴍɪʟɪᴀʀ ʀᴏᴀᴅ

Seth walked out as soon as he heard someone enter the shop. He was currently in charge while Damien was taking a lunch break. He was going to get one too, but with the store being busy during the summer, they usually did it in shifts to avoid missing customers. He put on a smile and looked over the current customers. Both boys, and both with a governess. Well, they must be muggleborns then. He nodded to them and leaned a bit against the counter. "Hello, and welcome to Ollivander's. I take it you both are here to get your first wands?" It was pretty obvious, and he was certain that he was going to get an eyeroll about it. However, he didn't look bothered by the prospect, and instead just looked over the two boys as he grabbed out the tape measure. "If you would please tell me your wand arm, and one at a time. That way I can go ahead and get the measurements I need."

⥁Uηѕσятє∂ Ƒιяѕт Ƴєαя⥁ Colton was watching intently for the wand seller guy to appear, and sure enough, he did. He welcomed them both, but Connor was being all quiet, so the older twin dragged his brother closer. "We sure are! I'm Colton, and this is my brother Connor! We're getting our wands for our first year of school!" He grinned cheerily, excited to get his proof of magic. When told to hold out their arms, Colton used his slightly older status to go first, which seemed okay to the other boy, who was gazing slightly left of anything actually happening. "I'm left handed, so I'm guessing that's my wand arm!" He offered out his left arm, smiling all the while. Hᴏʟᴅ ᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ ᴀs ᴡᴇ ɢᴏ, ᴀs ᴡᴇ ʀᴏʟʟ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴛʜɪs ᴜɴғᴀᴍɪʟɪᴀʀ ʀᴏᴀᴅ

Mackenzie Hawthorne
Unsorted - First Year - Eleven Years Old - Halfblood
╚══════════════════════════╝
Mackenzie didn’t think buying anything would be more exciting than her very own pet, but that changed drastically when she found out that she isn’t picking out her wand, but rather the wand chooses her. The eleven year old ran into the shop, leaving Ariana behind to follow in her path. The girl was practically bouncing with each step she took towards Seth, but he was helping two boys find their wands first. “Pst, Seth,” she loudly whispered, and when Kenzie finally got her mum’s boyfriend’s attention, she waved. Curiously, the girl watched as one boy stuck out his left arm. Ariana walked into the shop, attempting to keep up with her energetic daughter. Once Mackenzie “whispered” for Seth’s attention, Ari put a hand on her shoulder to ask her to let the man do his job, but it was too late. There was no quiet when Mackenzie got involved. The twenty seven year old smiled apologetically at her boyfriend before looking back down at her daughter. “Wait your turn, sweetie. Let those boys finish first, okay?” Luckily, Kenzie seemed intrigued enough with how they were being assigned wands to refrain from exploring the shop.

Seth nodded to the boys, looking over Colton as he seemed to be wanting to go first. He set the tape measure to start its measurements while he went to look through the stacks of wands. He wasn't sure, but he thought the kid would do well with a phoenix feather core first, though he was certain that spruce would be a good wood type. He pulled down a box and approached the boy, already opening it up and taking the wand out. Setting the box down, he snapped and the tape measure folded to the ground and he picked it up. "Okay, this one is spruce and phoenix feather, eleven inches. Why don't you give it a wave and if that one's not the one, then we can try another." He gave the wand to the boy and then started looking through the shelves again, paying attention to the boy. He figured if that wasn't the one, he had a pretty good idea which it could be. He gave a brief nod to Mackenzie and Arianna as they entered, but paid attention to his first customers. They needed his attention at the moment more than Arianna and her daughter, though he was glad they had decided to stop by today.

⥁Uηѕσятє∂ Ƒιяѕт Ƴєαя⥁ Colton watched the tape measure in awe, eyes wide at the spectacle. How cool was magic proving to be!! The man was digging through a bunch of boxes, before pulling out one in particular. It was spruce and what? Phoenix feathers? Awesome! Colton grabbed the wand, expecting some cool magic to happen, but when he waved it, it sent out a burst of orange that hit the wall with a loud crash. "What the heck was that?!?" Connor had his head turned toward the explosion, though he looked quite shaken up. Colton laughed and set the wand back down, looking happy as ever. "It was a cool explosion, nothing major. I don't think that wand likes me much, though." He kept his mischievous smirk, a twinkle in his eye for the next wand. Hᴏʟᴅ ᴏɴ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ ᴀs ᴡᴇ ɢᴏ, ᴀs ᴡᴇ ʀᴏʟʟ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴛʜɪs ᴜɴғᴀᴍɪʟɪᴀʀ ʀᴏᴀᴅ

Mackenzie watched as Seth gave a wand to one of the boys – an eleven inch spruce and phoenix feather to be exact. Did he just say “if that’s not the one”? What was he gonna do if it wasn’t – go around and try each wand? That would take years! There were probably a million different wands lined up all around the store. It looked that way, anyway. Blue eyes widened, watching to see what was about to happen when suddenly, a burst of orange shot out of the wand and towards the wall. Mackenzie shrieked and gripped onto Ariana, who also let out a scream – only not as loud. Suddenly, the girl’s stomach turned. What if Seth gave her the completely incorrect wand and she blew up the entire store?! “Mm, I don’t think I want a wand anymore,” Kenzie muttered under her breath. However, the eleven year old continued to watch the boy with the wand.

Seth didn't even bat an eye as he watched the boy cast a small explosion out of the tip of his wand. He was actually quite used to that sort of thing happening anyway. It was a good thing the store was built of sturdy stuff, to be honest. He evaluated the boxes before him, thinking about the reaction of the wand and the boy in question. "Okay, not spruce then. Or, not quite that spruce...." He perused the stacks of wands and selected another wand. He frowned, thinking and examining the discarded wand as he picked it up and returned it to its original box only to produce the wand that he'd just gotten out. "Try this one. Blue spruce and dragon heartstrings, and quite flexible." He of course was braced for another explosion just in case the wand wasn't right either. He could never be too careful, after all.

⥁Uηѕσятє∂ Ƒιяѕт Ƴєαя⥁ Colton grinned at the man, noting that he didn't seem at all phased by the loud sounds. He said he'd try something other than spruce, but just changed the color of it a bit. "Just gotta spruce up your choices, then?" He laughed at his joke, even though he noticed his twin's sigh. What was up with all these puns? Either way, Colton reached out for the wand, pointing it away from the others as he gave it a wave. Instead of a loud boom, this one swirled reddish orange sparks into the air. He grinned excitedly as the twirled lazily toward the ground. He turned his attention to the man up front. "Does that mean it's my wand?! Did it like me!?" Without even waiting for confirmation, he hugged the wand, then pushed his brother closer, resulting in a nervous yelp from Connor. With a bit of trepidation, the quieter twin held out his left arm, looking in the shopkeep's general direction. "Just tell me if my wand does anything interesting..."

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away

Seth couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the kid's attempt at humour, and then more when he hugged his wand to himself as he asked excitedly about if the wand chose him or not. Seth nodded, already making a calculation as he grabbed the tape measure for Connor. The kid seemed a bit shy, so Seth decided to start off with measurements. "I would say that wand likes you, yes. Ten inches, blue spruce and dragon heartstrings. I'd say it probably liked your humour. It should serve you well. Now Connor, let me go ahead and measure you up for your wand." He set the tape to start its work and then started searching through the stacks of boxes to find something. The kid seemed to be blind, which might make it a bit trickier. Frowning a bit, he pulled down a wand and, after removing it from the box, held it up for examination. Snapping his fingers, he dismissed the tape measure and handed off the wand. "All right. This one shouldn't be too difficult for you. Elm and unicorn hair, supple. If it's not that one, we've got plenty to try." He stood back after directing Connor's attention toward the wall. Hopefully the kid aimed there instead of at anyone else. He'd hate to see someone get injured because of a wand misfiring.

Location: Ollivander's
Thinking: First year students, this is always an interesting time of year.
OOC: Flexible, Blue Spruce & Dragon Heartstrings, two tries for Colton, and Sturdy, Mahogany and Unicorn Hair, three times for Connor, got it!
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

⥁Uηѕσятє∂ Ƒιяѕт Ƴєαя⥁ Colton nodded excitedly, committing his wand measurement and style to memory. It liked his clever puns! Oh good! He stepped back near the girls waiting, watching his brother go to get his wand. Hopefully he didn't kill anyone in the attempt. Connor made a face at the measuring tape, trying to identify its odd sounds. After a loud snap, presumably by the wand seller, the tape had stopped measuring him. Connor wondered for a second why it didn't just measure one twin. They were identical, after all. Wouldn't their measurements be just the same? Oh well. The man spoke, this time to the blind twin, who turned in his direction. He was really good at identifying directions... so long as there was sound coming from them. The man offered a wand, one made of elm and unicorn hair. Did unicorns exist in this weird, magical world? The boy was turned a bit, directed (hopefully) where no people were, then he flicked the wand. A loud, piercing shriek emmited, making the boys cringe. Colton covered his ears, and Connor set the wand on the counter in front of the man. As soon as he dropped the wand, the sound silenced, and he exhaled heavily. "I'm gonna go ahead and assume that one didn't like me much." He chuckled a bit, grinning. He wasn't as eager as his brother, perhaps, but he was still really excited to get a wand.
