spacePamela was attempting to contain her excitement, but having a rather hard time doing so. Finding out she wasn't an X-Man was pretty lame, but apparently being a witch was a thousand times cooler, if half of what Mr. Edgeworth had said was true. She'd never done anything with her powers... er, magic... other than make flowers grow. But according to him, she'd be able to do all sorts of amazing things. Back in the bakery. he'd turned her Maman's teapot into a tortoise, how cool was that?
spaceShe hadn't even had a chance to respond to the man's question of what they wanted to do first for their school supplies; Aster had immediately demanded they be taken to get their wands. She was okay with that, since it'd been on the tip of her own tongue. Mr. Edgeworth explained a bit about the process as they headed towards the store, mostly that they shouldn't get discouraged if it took them a while to find the right wand. He told them, with no small amount of pride, that the shop was run by his son, and that he, Damien, would explain things in more detail if they needed it. She had no doubt that Aster would ask all sorts of questions... The blonde supposed she might have a few, too, but right now she couldn't think of any.
spaceThe small group entered the shop and Pam watched Mr. Edgeworth wave to the young man behind the counter. She guessed that was the son, then, and waved brightly as well."Hello!"she greeted cheerfully, bouncing on the balls of her feet. Her excitement had tripled the second they walked through the door.
spaceWesley chuckled in amusement, then turned back to his son."Pamela, Aster, this is Damien,"he said. Damien offered the two girls a small wave, a nervous grin spreading across his face. This was technically the first day the shop was officially open and his, it just figured his father would stop in. Without warning, he noted."Afternoon,"the younger Edgeworth said, stepping out from behind the counter."So, who's going first?"
spacePam shoved her friend forward, grinning brightly."Aster's first!"the child demanded. She knew her friend would insist on going first anyway, after all. And she wanted to watch.
spaceDamien gave the pair an amused smile, pointing the blonde girl towards a stool."Step up here, please,"he asked, withdrawing his wand and giving it a quick wave. A measuring tape flew over from the counter, hanging in the air by the stool as if waiting... Well, it was waiting, he supposed, but it seemed almost sentient, which was amusing."Are you right or left handed?"he asked, mentally checking that off his list. His father could tell he was nervous; but, he knew his son well enough to know that he was going to do fine. Damien was something of a perfectionist, after all; he wouldn't allow himself to mess up.

Aster was walking on air, or at least she would have been if her stupid backpack hadn't been weighed down by an extra sweater, a water bottle, her mum's cell phone, and her mum's pepper spray. Her mother was a nut, she'd decided. She'd nearly had to throw a hissy fit to prevent the woman from tagging along. This was an adventure straight out of a book or movie. Parents weren't supposed to be there to cramp the heroines's style. It was a rule, basically. After a lot more questions and lecturing for her, she'd finally let her go with Mr. Edgeworth. Why couldn't she be like Pam's mums?
She still wished they were going to a real superhero institute of some sort, or battling their nemesis right now, but magic seemed pretty cool, she had to admit. That tortoise thing Mr. Edgeworth had done... that had shocked her. Not that she was looking forward to turning things into tortoises, but if he could do that, was else could he do? And his wand had looked pretty sweet. Which was why she'd rather stridently insisted they get their wands first. She wanted her stick of power sooner rather than later. Who knew what she'd be able to do with it, if she'd managed some erratic forms of magic without it.
She waltzed into the shop with Pam and the older man, giving the young man behind the counter an appraising look, which she gave all adults. She grinned when Pam gave her a push forward, squaring her shoulders. She didn't know what getting a wand consisted of, exactly, so she wanted to be prepared for anything. What if she had to fight this guy for one? She clambered onto the stool, liking the extra height it gave her short frame. She stared at the measuring tape, which seemed to have a mind of its own, though she knew it had come because Damien waved his wand. She wanted to do that. She wanted to do everything. "Right handed," she said firmly.

spaceDamien wasn't surprised that his first customers of the season were being brought in by his father. Wesley liked to get an early start on the first years, mostly so that he wasn't worried about not having enough time to take them all. That said, somehow his father being there made him that much more nervous over the whole thing. He hadn't had this problem at the Hogsmeade location; firstly, he hadn't been the owner, he'd only been an apprentice. Secondly, customers at that shop were few and far between... because everyone came here. He almost wished he could've talked his former boss into moving to this shop and letting him have the other shop. But, she taught at Hogwarts, so she needed to be close to the school all year. Besides... he could handle this, right?
spaceThe Slytherin continued through his checklist, taking note of the girl's measurements. He was sort of amused at the pair of first years. Pam's insistence that her... sister? go first, was sort of cute. He wondered if it were because she was nervous, or she just knew that the other girl would want to go first. He gave her an appraising look, trying to determine what he could about the child. It was something of a shot in the dark, really, at least the first wand. Sometimes you could tell enough about a person from the way they carried themselves to at least get one trait right immediately, and could judge the rest from the wand's reaction. For her... a longer wand, he'd bet, but not too long, considering her height. Definitely not unicorn hair for the core... The wandmaker stepped aside for a moment, going to one of the shelves and looking through the options. A majority of these weren't his own, they'd been made by his predecessor. But... he swore there was one he'd worked on...
spaceHe found the box he'd been looking for and returned, taking it out and handing it to the child with a nervous sort of smile."Ten inches, holly with a dragon heartstring core. Give it a wave,"he said gently. He rather hoped that this was, if not the right wand for her, at least a close fit. He had a feeling from her bearing that the results would be explosive if she were handed something too contradictory.

Aster fidgeted in anticipation as Damien took her measurement, squinting her eyes nearly shut at one point to avoid going cross eyed and making herself dizzy, then clenched her fists and swung them a little loosely at her side as he went around the counter to look for what was presumably going to be her wand. She hoped it looked cool. She hoped it actually worked. How was she supposed to test that, anyways? It wasn't like she actually knew any magic. When he came back with a box she looked like a small child restraining themselves from diving for a birthday gift to tear the wrapping paper to shreds. She eagerly grasped the wand, immediately liking the feel of it in her hand, like it perfectly fit her palm and fingers. She waved it sharply, and there was a shower of cobalt blue sparks that shot through the air with a hissing noise reminiscent of a sparkler. Aster yelped in delight, and reached her free hand out to try to grasp some of them, but they'd already faded away. "This one's mine," she said breathlessly. "I know it is- did you see that?!" She could almost hear her mother telling her to use her inside voice, and settled down a little, but her eyes were dancing.

spacePamela watched her friend and the young man with wide, curious eyes. The blonde 'oohed' softly at the sparks that came from the wand he'd handed Aster, fascinated. She turned her gaze to Damien, wondering if Aster was right, if that was her wand. How did she know? How did it work?
space"I'd say you're right,"he said, smiling widely at Aster. Pam eyed him, brimming with curiosity."Is that how you know? If it glitters, then it's yours?"she asked him, her tone somewhat awestruck. The wandmaker chuckled lightly, shrugging."It can be different for everyone. Sometimes there'll be sparks, sometimes a gust of wind. All sorts of things. It's more of an art than a science,"he replied. Then, he gestured for Pamela to come over and stand before him. She complied, eager to see what her wand would do.
space"How did you know that was Aster's?"she asked, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet."Shot in the dark,"he answered honestly."I was fairly certain about the core for hers, but it was honestly just luck that I pulled the right one right off the bat. Right or left-handed?"Pam extended her left arm for Damien with a small, eager grin."Left!"she declared enthusiastically. Damien nodded, took note of her measurements, and then went to the shelves, eyeing the wands carefully. After a moment, he returned, wand in hand."10 inches, Dogwood with Unicorn hair,"he said.
spacePam took the wand and gave it a wave, but frowned when nothing happened."Guess that's not it?"she asked, and he nodded, taking it from her."No, but, not too far off, I'd say. Wands tend to react somewhat violently with someone they don't suit at all."His expression grew thoughtful, and he returned the wand to it's place, retrieving another after a long pause."Try this. 8 and 1/2 inches, Apple with Unicorn hair"She took the new wand from Damien, and gave it a wave as well, and this time, a faint, half-hearted sort of light came from the tip. The blonde's eyes went wide, hoping that wasn't it, because it was honestly a sort of lackluster response.
spaceDamien gave her a kind smile, taking the wand and putting it away."Don't get discouraged, we're getting warmer,"he told her. This time, when he held out the wand, Pam's eyes went wide, a strange tingling starting in her fingertips when she took it."9 and 1/4 inches, Pear with Unicorn hair."She swallowed, and gave it a wave. This time, she was rewarded with a shower of rose petals appearing in the air behind the line of her movement, and her heart pounded in excitement. The petals disappeared as quickly as they'd manifested, but the scent of roses lingered. She stared at Aster with a huge grin on her face."Oh my gosh, did you see that?"she asked excitedly.
spaceThe wandmaker grinned, offering his hands to the girls so they could hand the wands back."I'll get those back in the boxes for you both, then,"he said, though he was strictly following protocol as he knew that they'd more than likely take the things out as soon as they were out the door."For the first, it'll be 6 galleons, the second'll be 5,"he said, directing this at his father, who took out the necessary coins and handed them off.
spacePam dutifully returned the wand to Damien, who boxed it up, handing the box to her. Once everything was boxed away and done with, Wesley smiled at the two girls."Alright, now that we've satisfied your burning curiosity, let's take care of your robes, shall we?"he asked lightly, gesturing for the two girls to exit.

M.J. opened the door to Ollivander's and stepped in, tripping over her own feet in her excitement. Luckily she caught herself mid-fall, "It was definitely just due to the excitement", she thought, wiping off her robes casually as she looked around at the empty shop, "Phew, I don't think anyone saw that." She was happy her parents decided to do her school shopping now, before the big crowds of summer came. Between the excitement and anticipation, she felt like she could burst, she didn't need anymore nerves. She was finally getting a wand! She was sure this was an unforgettable moment of every witch and wizard. Her mom and dad had each remembered in explicit details the day their wands chose them, shooting up beautiful pink and purple spark for Angelic and a sharp fresh breeze for Inigo. Secretly, M.J. was hoping for something more exciting, like a firework in the shape of an Augurey, or a merperson, or a hipppocampus! There was only one way to find out, here we go! "He...hel....hello?...." she said, timidly.

Tobias Ledford YEAR:first :: HOUSE:unsorted (You can click the picture to view his profile)
Tobias cautiously approached the shop with wide-eyed intrigue, his parents following in tow. Although he never witnessed anyone receiving their wand, but his parents and family members had talked about their experiences receiving their first wand before. He remembered the excitement he felt hearing the amazing things that had happened, but also remembered his apprehension when disaster struck. One of his family members talked about the wand causing a big enough explosion to break his arm! Tobias was fairly certain that they were lying in order to scare him, but there was nothing that would hint at that event not having a chance of happening. He stepped through the threshold and stopped to look back at his parents. Both of them were smiling and motioned for him to continue; they hand said that it's a much more magical experience to test the wands alone.
Looking at the massive amounts of boxes on the shelves, he passed his wands over them as he walked slowly. <
Which one of these boxes holds MY wand... where has my wand been hiding all this time... waiting for me to claim it> he wondered to himself. He thought he heard some noise in the store, so he straightened his back and peered towards the door again. His parents hadn't entered the store after him, so he took a deep breath and started moving towards the front. He noticed that there was a girl already at the counter. He didn't want to bother her if she was waiting to get her wand and at the same time wanted to see what choosing a wand was like.

spaceDamien wouldn't deny that he was surprised when he heard the sound of his door opening. The wandmaker arched a brow, curious, and peeked around the corner to see a young girl. He offered her a smile and attempted to gesture with his head in a way that would replace a wave, his hands currently full of stacks of wands he'd been re-shelving."One moment,"he called cheerfully, trying to get the boxes put away as quickly as possible. Probably could have used his own wand to do it, but they were going on one of the lower rows, and he had somewhat been trying to kill time since he hadn't been expecting any customers. He pretty much only got them around the start of the school year, and then every once in a while someone would pop in because theirs had broken, or they could finally afford a new one, or they were looking into trying to have one custom-made. This last option was the one that most often left him shaking his head, given that people very rarely actually knew what sort of wand they needed. But, given that the girl looked to be about eleven, he figured this time, it was a first year trying to beat the Summer crowd.
spaceInventory successfully shelved, he smiled and came around to the front of the store, smiling again. Just then, the door opened again, and waved at the couple and the young man who entered."Afternoon, I'll be with you in a moment,"he said, pulling out his own wand and turning his attention to the young lady, who looked a bit nervous."First wand?"he asked cheerfully, gesturing for her to come forward."I'm Damien, the owner. It's nice to meet you. If you could please stand here,"he gestured with his wand, and his tape measure set to taking her measurements."Right or left handed?"he asked, eyeing the girl. He'd not been at this for very long, only a few years, but he'd gotten pretty good at reading people in that time. As the tape measure did its work, he looked the girl over for a second, then started pulling wands, opening a few boxes and looking at the wand that lay inside. A few he set back on the shelf, but he returned to the front with a stack of a few, and handed her one."Here, try this; nine inches, maple with unicorn hair,"he told her, handing her the wand.

He had a very specific system in place when it came to how he selected wands for children; it didn't always seem like it, in fact most people would probably think he was pulling things at random and hoping for the best.

Tobias watched as the girl was measured and then handed a wand by the shop owner. He wasn't really trying to hide or anything, but he still had the failed wand horror stories in his mind and told himself he was 'keeping a safe distance'. Seeing the sparks appear and fizzle away quickly, he breathed and internal sigh of relief that it hadn't been that bad. When she got her second wand and gave it a flick, he couldn't contain his wonder from the phoenix of colors and giggled out loud, smiling ear to ear. When the girl turned to introduce herself, Tobias meekly replied:
"H-Hello, my name is Tobias. T-Tobias Ledford. Nice to meet you." He turned his attention towards the shopkeeper, Damien. "Nice to meet you too, Damien." He walked towards the pair and stopped himself next to them. <Well, at least the failed wands weren't that bad for her, so I'm guessing things won't be that bad...> He thought to himself, still smiling from the brilliant display that was shown mere moments ago.
He set his legs apart a bit and lifted his arms slightly, putting himself in a position for the owner's tape measure to do it's job when it comes to that. He remembered that Damien had asked M.J. if she was right-handed or left-handed. He thought about that question in regards to himself. He had never held a wand before, so he couldn't say so for sure, but he could look at his dominant hand for other activities. However, that didn't make things clear either, since he was almost ambidextrous. The times that he played the muggle sport Baseball he felt he was right-handed, as he'd always keep his right hand farther up the bat. When he practiced what it would be like flying his broom, something he enjoyed doing, he found that he was more left-handed. Although it wasn't a real broom and wasn't really flying, he's set up a rod to be hanging off the ground and practiced balancing on it, finding it easier balancing himself with his left hand compared to his right. "As for whether I'm left-handed or right-handed... I'm not sure. I tend to do the majority of things with my right hand, but switch between the two depending on the activity." He hoped that this didn't complicate the wand selection process. He imagined picking the 'right' wand but using the 'wrong' hand, but told himself that it probably didn't work like that.
