During the day, there would likely be customers. You'd observe Ollivander as he interacts with them, using his expertise to find the right wand. You might be asked to fetch different wands for the customers to try. Sometimes, there could be difficult customers who are picky or impatient, and you'd have to learn how to deal with them gracefully. At the end of the day, you'd close up the shop, making sure it's secure and perhaps spending some time studying more about wand lore on your own.
A typical day might start with cleaning and organizing the wands in the shop. There are hundreds of wands, each with its own unique energy, so it's important to keep them in order. Then, you could be helping Ollivander with the inventory, checking which wands are low in stock and which cores need to be replenished.
Well, in the morning, you'd probably wake up in the small living quarters above the shop. After a simple breakfast, you'd head down to the shop floor. As the day progresses, you could be involved in some behind - the - scenes tasks like preparing new wand boxes or helping Ollivander with any repairs on damaged wands. There would be a constant sense of magic in the air, with the faint glow and hum of the wands all around. You might also have some time to talk to Ollivander about the more mysterious aspects of wand - making, like the connection between a wand and its owner's fate, and how certain wands seem to choose the most unlikely of owners.
There could be adventures related to helping customers. Picture being there when a young witch or wizard comes in, nervous and excited, and having to use your knowledge to figure out which wand might suit them best. You might even encounter some rare customers, like veelas or half - giants, and have to find a wand that can work for their unique magical signatures.
Perhaps Neville Longbottom could take on this role. He has shown great courage throughout the series. His experiences with loss, like the death of his parents, could lead him down a path where he becomes the apprentice of death, using his newfound powers to protect others and bring a new balance to the wizarding world.
One common theme is self - discovery. The apprentices in these fanfictions often start out not knowing much about their magical abilities and through their experiences at Hogwarts or in the wizarding world, they learn about themselves. For example, they might discover they have a special talent for a certain type of magic.
In this fanfiction, Harry could learn a great deal of advanced magic from Flitwick. Maybe he would master some complex spells that are not taught in regular classes. For example, he could be taught the secrets of charm magic at a much deeper level, which would help him in his battles against the Dark Arts.
A third idea is to create a crossover where the villains from both worlds team up. The evil forces in the Sorcerer's Apprentice world and Voldemort's Death Eaters could join forces. The heroes from both universes would then have to work together to defeat this combined evil. This would involve the Sorcerer's Apprentice character and Harry Potter, along with their friends, strategizing and using their unique magical abilities.
His allies could include Hermione and Ron as always. Since they are his best friends, they would support him in his apprenticeship. Hermione might even help him study and research with Flitwick. Neville could also be an ally as he is also interested in learning more magic. As for rivals, Draco might be jealous of Harry's new position and try to undermine him. Some of the Slytherins who don't like Harry might also be his rivals in this scenario.
There could be many interesting aspects to such a fanfic. For example, the Squib apprentice might struggle with feeling out of place in a world full of magic, yet be drawn to Severus's knowledge. Maybe they learn non - magical ways to assist in potion - making or herbology tasks. They could also face discrimination from other wizards due to being a Squib, but find acceptance and purpose under Severus's tutelage.
The apprentice's character development can be shown through their changing views on magic. At first, they might be in awe of Grindelwald's powerful and often dark magic. But as they learn more, they start to see the harm it can cause. For example, if they witness Grindelwald using a spell to harm innocent people, it could make them question their loyalty.
Well, it could be about Harry Potter discovering some long - lost magic that was once taught by Merlin. Maybe he stumbles upon an ancient spellbook or a hidden place where Merlin's teachings are preserved.
